Spotting the Cardinals 17 had me thinking the the awful loss to the Rams in 2001. But the Packers came back and got the game into OT. True losers don't fight back like that. This was a memorable team. Have a good year folks.
Good luck also to the rest of you fighting for your jobs and your lives.

Offensive Line Turns Things Around
The line turned things around in the second half of the season. Now they have earned the right to show us they can play playoff football too!
Week 16 - Packers at Cardinals
Despite getting notice my job would evaporate in 12 months, I finished strong enough to earn an
"A" in the class I was taking. The holidays gave me some time to regroup and relax with some cover letters sent in for some promising positions. I also got the interview suit nailed down and recovered from the flu. I can't say I caught up on the five Packer games I missed, but they look like a different team now.
Like my grandfather use to say, "you've got to give credit where credit is due." The Packers offensive line has avoiding setting a new record in surrendering sacks. My hats off to Mark Tauscher and T.J. Lang along with the rest the starters. They looked great vs. the Cardinals today. That was quite a hole they were in so they really deserve a pat on the back.
The other area that I have tried to focus on in this blog has been defensive line play. The Packers have become the #1 defense vs. the run without Ryan Pickett, and he will be back next week. That's along way from where the DL was last year and the first half of this year. I thought B. J. Raji looked good today. I noticed some hard hitting and tackling today from the likes of A.J. Hawk and Atari Bigsby.
With an array of offensive weapons and an Aaron Rodgers who looks more Bart Starr than Brett Favre, the Packers have some reason to think they might win some playoff games. But I think Tony Dungey, has a point when he says that the Cardinals will be a different and rested team next week. But that doesn't mean the Packers shouldn't delight in crushing them this week.
So the Packers could be one & done this year or they might shock the Cardinals at home. We will see, but it was a season of improvement for the Packers either way. So there is a lot to be happy about for Packer fans.
Happy New Year's folks, and let's try to make it better than 2009. And let's cheer this team on and see what they can do in the playoffs!
Go Pack!
