I Was Half Right...

If you listen at all to the Second Shift, you'll know that I predicted the Packers to win this weekend 31-28 over the Patriots and that Matt Flynn would bust out something special and surprise everyone.  Unfortunately, I was only half right as the Pats pounced on the Pack 31-27.  Matt Flynn did a great job last night in Foxboro, but unfortunately it wasn't quite enough after another special teams gaff that let a right guard run 71 yards on a kickoff return and some questionable play calling on the 1-yard-line that resulted in a Green Bay field goal instead of a touchdown.

The good news is that the Packers aren't completely out of it.  If they can win their next two games, they get a spot in the playoffs as a wild card team.  Unfortunately though, those are two tough games against the New York Giants and the Chicago Bears.  It also essentially means the playoffs start right now for the Packers because with one more loss, they're done.

With any luck though, regardless of what happens, we'll be hoping that the injuries clear up next year and the Packers are back in contention for not only the division, but another ring.
