The First Time I'm Not Predicting a Packers Victory (Who Stinkified My Cheese?)
Vieux Boulogne, Anyone? Nostalgia Is Overrated.
It’s been well over a month since the Packers won, but I still can’t bring myself to predict the Packers will lose their next game, so I’ll say it will end up a 22-all tie with the Los Angeles Billygoats next Sunday, November 5th.
I’m throwing caution to the wind and forecasting an unusual score arrived at in unorthodox ways: For the Packers, two touchdowns with only one extra point, and three field goals; for the Billygoats, six field goals and two safeties. How’s that for going out on a limb?; or should I say limburger, for:
Who moved my cheese? It has changed from a delectable and salubrious extra sharp cheddar to Limburger. Hopefully, that stenchy Limburger doesn’t further deteriorate into Vieux Boulogne, which is considered to be the stinkiest cheese in the world: mass firings (or “going in different directions,” as it’s euphemistically phrased) would be the result of that, no doubt. I’m talking mainly coaches, but probably several players, too, would be “shown the door.”
This debacle reminds me of the 1970s (Packers-wise); nostalgia is overrated. Bah, humbug.
UPDATE SUNDAY 11/5/2023
Under the circumstances (Packers victory), I’m glad to be wrong with my prediction of a tie. The offense looked good, and the defense looked great. Maybe the change in “fortunes” had something to do with deadlight slavings time.
On a side note, I do wonder why the Packers dealt Razor Douglass, not only because he was a great player, but also because seemed to be a “locker room guy,” a true leader of the defense. It’s a bummer that he’s a Bill now; at least he’s not on the Lyin’s, Bares, or Vie-kings, though.
