Here’s the second installment of Ian’s Special Psycho Football Journal (a few weeks late)...
Game Synopsis:
Coming into this week, the Packers needed a win. The Browns seemed like the ideal whipping boys, as they are the perennial punch line in the NFL. I guess someone forgot to tell the Browns. The Browns passed and ran all over us, pretty much making our defense look like a bunch of jerks. Brett Farve had some sort of milestone when he passed for his millionth yard or something. Joey Thomas started at CB, because they were afraid Ahmed Carrol would go into hyper-foul mode. It didn't work. You know your defense is in trouble when you make Trent Dilfer look like Payton Manning. The Packers did mount a sweet comeback in the fourth quarter, scoring 17 points; unfortunately it wasn't enough to dig them out of their hole... their giant-stinky-football-smelling hole.
Packers lose 24-26 in front of 70,400 people. (Season: 0-2)
Week Synopsis:
Coming into this week, Ian was confident with his ability to get things done. He passed his MMR test (no German measles! Hooray!) He also got the lowdown on the hospital from one of the really helpful nurses. Later, there was some worry when Ian wore jeans to work, even though he knew he wasn't supposed to. He avoided his manager all day. The crisis, thought to have been averted, was quickly forgotten, until his assistant manager checked up on him later. Rats! Even later, Ian took a shift for a guy that he doesn't even like, just so his name would not be sullied by his cavalier attitude toward the dress code.
It's still kind of up in the air, but I think Ian wins 21-18 in front of 300+ people. (Season: 1-1)
Moral/Headline/Fortune Cookie:
A late comeback may not arrive in time to save you from yourself... especially if your defensive line kind of just slaps at people.
