Favre Sets Record

Today in the Packers win over the Lions, Brett Favre breaks Dan Marino's All Time Completion Record. The Packers are still alive for the Play off hunt, but realistically even if they get there, then what?

The Buccaneers come into Chicago and the game goes as expected for the first half if you looked at their records. Tampa, going 26 -35 after winning the Super Bowl, have struggled since winning the big one. The Buc's not having a strong offense, and a slipping defense, come back to tie it up late in the game and send it into overtime. Gould had a chance to be "Goulden" and blew a game winning kick. Gould who made 24 straight FG attempts has missed 3 of his last 8. And he did make a shorter winning FG, Bears win 34 - 31. This was largely set up by the punter pinning them at the one, and a defensive hold by Urlacher and Company.

The officials did a good job of reviewing questionable calls, reviewing 2 plays in the overtime battle.

Urlacher, "We gotta play better, if we wanna win in the playoffs". Well said, as they are still just barely getting but teams with losing records. We won't see what the Bears have until their first Playoff game.
The Bears some how manage to pick up slack in other areas when one part of the team falls. Any part of that team can score, if they can get the offense, defense and special teams all to show up and play 60 minutes, they will be solid. Can they do it, is the question. With the win today, they clinched home field throughout the playoffs.

The Saints fall to the Skins, but have still clinched the the NFC South.

The Patriots played a 4 - 9 team and beat them like a 4-9 team with a 40 - 7 win over the Texans. This is what some may have expected the Bears to do today.

I only watched a part of the Denver / Arizona game. Denver holds them off 37 - 20, and if Kansas City loses tonight against the Chargers, Denver secures a playoff spot. While a Chargers win inches them closer to homefield advantage. Not an easy task against the rival Chiefs.

One thing I noticed today. Bradshaw needs to get a haircut, he is supporting a receeding mullet.

I'll have more after the Sunday and Monday night games.
