oh well.

first off, if you don't have the nfl network, don't feel too bad. bryant gumble is a mess at play by play. the pregame show was a joke, with neon deion sanders acting like a total dallas homer. for an entity that is so concerned with identity, this production is laughable.

second, the packers did alright, all things considered. al harris, contrary to the hype, is not a lock-down cover corner. if you make it past his initial jam at the line, he is mostly useless down the field (unless he gets a lucky break on the ball). he looked like a deer in headlights most of the night.

third, why would the nfl give a first year head ref the biggest regular season game of the nfc? 3 major blown calls in dallas' favor (one was overturned after coach's review). they still would have lost, but come on.

oh well, for how poorly they played on defense, the packers still made it interesting. dallas is beatable with more pressue on the qb and better downfield coverage.

couple more pages to write for my paper. then, it's 10 minutes (or so) of presentation slides. snow in the forcast for the weekend will interfere with my plans to put up lights. hopefully it's enough for a brotha to snowshoe or at least ski.

happy friday.
