Don't over look Cleveland.

With the big rematch only a week away, it would be tempting to over look this week's game at Cleveland. Favre will be coming to Lambeau and I think it will unleash some ugly stuff. The anti-Favres should be in their glory.

But we don't want to loose sight of what is most important. Beat the Vikings. But before that, win this week at Cleveland. Each week in the NFL is so important you have to win the ones you are supposed to.

I am feeling optimistic and am looking for a 2-0 record the next two weeks.

The Shadow still lingers.

This image was floating around the internet last year. When I first saw it, I was annoyed that some computer geek changed the uniform on Favre from the 2007 cover story as a Green Bay Packer.

How sad that it has come true. Mike Holmgren on his radio show publicly criticized how Favre was treated and said it should have been up to the coach to take care of Rodgers and keep Favre as a Packer.

I know this is water under the bridge, but Holmgren was talking about this recently.

It will be pretty strange when #4 comes back to Lambeau.

I can't wait.

Things to fix.

I'm sure it is never easy being the coach of the Green Bay Packers. Now, there is the illusion that we as fans will only be satisfied with winners.

The truth is that from 1972-1995, almost 25 years we were quite satisfied with losers. We could reminisce about the Lombardi era and how great Titletown was in the 60s....even when we couldn't remember it. The team was in the black and the little stadium was full. We were pretty happy with 8-8, even though the Bears killed us every year with Ditka as the coach.

As you know, Ron Wolf, Mike Holmgren, Brett Favre and Reggie came to Green Bay and restored respect to the franchise and built the new stadium and secured money for the future.

It was hard to watch Favre beat the Packers last week. In the pre-game show he said with a grave and trace-like stare- I want to win this game. This game means something to me.

I didn't think the Packers had a chance, and yet they played with a lot of intensity and determination. Rodgers had a whale of a game. The offensive line needs to be fixed. If they had been respectable, we win the game even when the Vikings have Favre.

Jack the defense up and shore up the offensive line, otherwise we are back to the losers of the late 70s and 80s.
