Let me start with this suggestion to Bears’ coach Ben Johnson….if you’re going to run your mouth about easily beating my Packers twice in the closing weeks of this NFL season…then either do it or STF up.
Perhaps, the mere euphoria of this dormant franchise even being relevant this late in an NFL season made Coach Johnson giddy as if he were Mike Gundy telling the rest of us who actually know football, “He’s a man and come after him.”
Well, for certain…you’ve done a better job with the Bears than Gundy did with these last two death penalty-like seasons in Stillwater. But Coach Johnson…when it mattered–Caleb Williams cratered and threw a horrible interception to end the game.
So I’m giving my game ball and two helmet stickers to three Green Bay players for their clutch play coming down the stretch in this 28-21 Packer win which catapaults my Packers as posibly the favorite to emerge from the NFC this season as a Super Bowl contender with the acquistion of Micah Parsons.
Clearly, as I tried to explain to Jim Traber on the air after the trade…this move put Green Bay into what MJ calls a ‘potential championship window.’ Much like last season when Presti acquired Caruso and Hartenstein. Those two additions catapaulted the Thunder into a ‘championship window,’ which they eventually walked through after Game 7 versus the Indiana Pacers even if did take a big time assist from the basketball gods by Tyrese Haliburton going down.
BTW…the assertion by any Dallas Cowboy fan that Green Bay got hosed in the Micah Parsons trade is illustrative of why the Dallas Cowboys have been almost as non-relevant as the Chicagos Bears for a very substantial period of time as well. MJ loves CeeDee Lamb and Pickens as game changing wide receivers for certain…but those guys don’t play defense.
I’ll get back later to why I was confidant Micah Parsons would make Green Bay a better defensive team across the field. But not today. MJcan only handle so much on his plate after a full Sunday of col;lege and NFL football.
My game ball goes to Jordan Love for his balanced play all game long and his clutchness on that last game winning drive to give the Pakers a 28-21 lead.
MJ’s two helmets go to Keisan Nixon for his game clinching oskie in the end zone, and to RB Josh Jacobs for his clutch running and game winning TD on that last epic drive which gave the Packers three straight wins over NFC rivals Minnesota, Detroit, and the success starved Chicago Bears and their misguided, clueless fanbase.
I’ll talk about OU playing Alabama instead of Notre Dame tomorrow on the blog. But here’s what I know already…OU is 2-0 versus the Tide in the non-Nick Saban area. ‘Bama is a team with little snarl or nasty. MJ also knows Jeremiah Love plays for Notre Dame and not Alabama. Hence…MJ’s opening line has OU a two point home favorite.
By my standard I’ve now cleared post-chemo protocol and ready to hit the terrain bike and the weights for my first workout since the Dec. 2 infusion. It usually takes about 120-130 hours after an infusion to reach this threshold.
Yo, Adrian.
