Packers Fans Still Smiling

Green Bay's beloved Packers are 1-7, they are the basement team along with Houston and on track for their first losing season since 1991. But Packers fans have stood by their team through good times and bad times. Perhaps like no other franchise in the NFL - the team is an extension of the community and the people.

Most fans ache with broken hearts instead of dismissing the Packers out of disgust.

Patrick Christie, 29, of Green Bay, summed it up: I really do think of it with the spirit of family, and it's got to be tough on them when they're not winning. I mean, I feel for them, and even if we win just a couple more times, that'll at least make them feel good, and that makes me feel good."

There was some booing in the Pittsburgh loss but they are few and far between and soon fizzle out. If you are a Packers fan you stick with your team. The fans still wear happy faces.

Some have said that because Green Bay is a tiny town with a small population, they are big on pride. Lee Remmel, historian, says: "it's a matter of pride for a city of Green Bay's size to even be in the National Football League."

Let's not forget that despite their size they have had some great moments through the years. They will no doubt come again....in time.

Favre Takes It On Chin

Quarterback Brett Favre felt bad about the his five-interception performance on Sunday's - in a 21-14 loss at Cincinnati, but one should remember that he has putin some good work too over the last fourteen years or so.

"Unfortunately, I didn't make enough plays," Favre said of his second worst game ever in the regular season. "But, until they tell me differently as far as lining up and playing next week, I'm going to do the same thing.."

All five of Favre's bad throws on Sunday happened in quick succession, spanning eleven pass plays from late in the second quarter to early in the fourth quarter. With the exception of two passes that were tipped before being intercepted, Favre had no one to blame but himself for being picked off.

Deep passes under-thrown, while another potential big one down the sideline was thrown behind to the inside.

Fortunately for Green Bay, the Bengals made it count for points only once. It was Carson Palmer's third touchdown pass that gave them a needed cushion at 21-7 two minutes into the final quarter.

The thought is that Favre over did things because of the fact that the Packers came into the game without three of their top four receivers, their top two running backs and their No. 2 tight end.

If the Packers had had the cushion it is unlikely that the miscues would have been thrown. So this is to do with Favre chasing the game, as opposed to being past it.
