0 Packers spoil Detroit’s Thanksgiving party with a 34-12 win. Posted by DieHardFans | at 1:55 AM

Thanksgiving Day has never been kind to the Detroit Lions. Thursday saw a big match up, as the Green Bay Packers visited Ford Field to take on the Lions. However, true to form, the Lions were once again outclassed. Aaron Rodgers threw for 3 touchdowns, enabling Green Bay to embarrass Detroit 34-12. Detroit struck first on a 1-yard TD pass from Matthew Stafford, allowing Detroit to take their only lead of the game at 7-0 with 13:04 left in the opening period.

The second quarter was all Green Bay as they scored three times. The 13 unanswered points enhanced Green Bay’s advantage to 13-7, which they would take to their locker room at half-time.

The Green Bay Packers piled it on in the third quarter as Rodgers would throw a pair of TD passes six minutes apart, giving Green Bay a 27-7 lead. Detroit would then go on to score a safety, curtsey of linebacker Jordan Dizon and a 22-yard Jason Hanson FG, putting the Lions within 27-12. However, it wasn’t to be, as Charles Woodson would seal the deal for Green Bay, intercepting a Stafford pass and returned it 38 yards for a score with 3:47 left in the contest.

Rodgers had an excellent outing as he went 28 of 39 for 348 yards and 3 TD’s while Stafford slumped compared to last week. The stats don’t lie and he went 20 of 43 for 213 yards with a TD and 4 INT’s. Green Bay (7-4) play again on Monday December 7, playing host to the Baltimore Ravens. Detroit (2-9) will make the short trip to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals on Sunday, December 6.

0 Singletary helped by Cutler as the 49ers claim victory! Posted by DieHardFans | at 3:37 AM

The Chicago Bears had entered 2009 with a single aim in mind. They wanted to strengthen their defense, and obtain a strong armed QB, to lead them to victory.

However, Thursday night was a shocker for the guys. They stepped out in San Fran, to a face a 49ers team in a match up that should have been theirs. Jay Cutler had a nightmare of a game, throwing five interceptions, including one on the last play of the game.

The Bears pushed on towards what would have been the game-winning score. Looking for tight end Greg Olsen in the end zone from the Niners 12yard line, Cutler ran up in the pocket and threw, only to have it picked off by Michael Lewis to end the game. On the night, He was 29 for 52 for 307 yards with no TD’s and five picks. He had a QB rating of 33.6. Between Thursday night and the loss to the Packers in week one, he has thrown 9 of his 17 interceptions. San Fran did just enough to get the win. They put up just 216 yards. However, RB Frank Gore that put up 110 yards. Alex Smith was 16 for 23 for 118 yards with no TD’s and a pick, but he didn’t make the killer mistakes that Cutler did.

The only TD of the night came in the second quarter with the Bears up 3-0. Cutler was picked by Tarell Brown who returned it to the Bears 14. Gore took care of the rest by running14 yards out to give San Fran the 7-3 lead.

Luckily they held on for the rest of the night, to finally break their 4 game losing streak.

0 Favre overcomes all his emotions to pulls a Win at Lambeau against the Packers. Posted by DieHardFans | at 5:01 AM

Love him or hate him Favre is an awesome player. Fans previously wore shirts calling Favre everything from "Traitor" to "Judas" and even “Drama Queen."

One fan carried a poster with "True Legends Don't Wear Purple." Behind the Vikings' bench, someone hung a "Welcome Back to Lambeau Field ... B-R-E-N-T" sign, but once again, he got one over on his old team and is 2-0 against them. Favre took the field at Lambeau on Sunday as the visitor, and walked out a hero to those that love purple, all at the expense to a side he played with for 16 seasons.

It was tough to watch, but in the end, Favre did what he does best, gunning his way to a win. He outplayed Aaron Rodgers, and beat the Packs just when it looked like Green Bay was ready to rally and put together a win that would have made the NFC North race a lot more interesting to watch.

When asked for comment, Favre said: “Packers fans cheer for the Packers first, I know that. I hope that everyone in the stadium watching tonight said, ‘I sure hate those jokers on the other side, but he does play the way he’s always played.’” And Favre played well. He completed 17 of 28 passes for 244 yards and four touchdowns without an interception. He led the team to a 38-26 win, putting Minnesota at 7-1 and the Packers at 4-3. It would now seem that they need to win just about every game, whilst praying that the Vikings collapse.
