Beating the Packers at Lambeau

you know it's a bad situation when it depends on us *hoping* to control the mighty running attack of the packers.

 

dont turnover the balls

 

REMEMBER WHEN????

On fourth down, too!

 

They have been winning with no running game all year.

 

I remember reading that if we hadn't won that game there was a good chance Siefert would have benched Bline for Jeff lewis.

Consider the ramifications of that. We'd have known Lewis sucked prior to the 2000 off season. Maybe we'd have retained bline. Maybe we'd have drafted a QB - like Brees. 1-15 may not have happened. No Smitty.

Fateful play, that was.

 

way too deep, meat....wayyyyyyyyyyy too deep.

 

Beuerlein still injured himself over that year, and compounded it by having that throwing-arm surgery in June that he ended up partially tearing in the 1st game of the 2000 season (Redskins- after missing most of preseason).


Smitty could've happened. Not like he was a 2nd overall. We just would've kept Beuerlein, and Seifert. No 1-15, we don't drop Seifert. Not at that point, anyway.


Plus, Lewis looked very solid in 2000 preseason. People forget that Lewis looked the part in the time he was out there until 2001.* Too dump-off, but he was completing passes and we did OK moving the ball. He did some David Carr-like weird shit running the ball and sacrificing the body, and similarly wouldn't throw too many deep balls up there.



*then again, he was Musgrave's boy, and Musgrave didn't leave until after that preseason. That was also about the time Seifert started putting pressure on him to perform, eventually challenging him and replacing him 2001.

 

No way

The Panthers can't even beat the Falcons. Farve will kick our butts.

We need a top pick in the draft to get a good QB.
