I’ll Admit It, I Was Wrong

Posted: 30th December 2009 by Chris Schei in NFL
I've been called a "Favre-hater" many times in my life, even when he was a member of the Green Bay Packers. That's fine with me, because I just call it as I see it. I'm not going to put all of the blame on Favre when they lose, or all of the credit to him when they win. But before the season started, I thought Favre was not the same quarterback ...

Packers-Vikings: One More Time with Brett Favre? Why Not…

Posted: 30th December 2009 by Chris Schei in NFL
Charles Woodson sat across from Pam Oliver during an interview for the Fox pre-game show, and the inevitable question came up. Would you want another shot at Favre and the Vikings? The Packers were on a roll, getting closer and closer to securing a playoff spot. You could see Woodson's jaw tense up, and if you looked hard enough, I think you could see the smoke coming out of his ears ...

Brett Favre and Brad Childress: Confrontation was Inevitable

Posted: 23rd December 2009 by Chris Schei in NFL
Before we get really excited about this, let's take a look at how everything transpired. Brad Childress needed a quarterback, so he (if you believe what you're told) begged and begged and begged Brett Favre to come out of retirement and play for the Vikings. Once Favre decided he would play, Childress drove to the airport, and drove Favre back to Winter Park like he was Favre's personal butler. And we are supposed ...

A Tale of Two Games and Two Coaches

Posted: 21st December 2009 by Chris Schei in NFL
On Sunday, the Packers played the Steelers at 3:15, followed by a 7:30 start for the Minnesota Vikings. I had the luxury of watching both games, and noticed one key difference between the twoùcoaching. Early on against Pittsburgh, Green Bay came out in a regular formation, and Aaron Rodgers was getting hit over and over by the Pittsburgh blitzes. As the game wore on, so did the number of Wide Receivers ...

Changes I Saw From The Packers-Cowboys Game

Posted: 17th November 2009 by Chris Schei in NFL
Plenty of debate topics came out of the Packers' 17-7 win over the Cowboys on Sunday. It was a much-needed win for Green Bay, who got themselves back into the playoff picture. There were some things that I noticed, along with things I believe were confirmed on Sunday: 1.) Charles Woodson is the best overall cornerback in the league, but then again, we already knew that. 2.) It was nice to see ...

Congratulations, Brett Favre

Posted: 1st November 2009 by Chris Schei in NFL
Congratulations, Brett. You took it to Green Bay twice this year. As I was watching my Packers take on the Vikings for the second time this year, I felt many of the same emotions the second time as I did the first. Frustration that the Packers offensive line looked the way it did. Shock as defensive coordinator Dom Capers only rushed three (and sometimes two) defenders, when any quarterback, let alone Favre, would ...
