You retired too? .... Not me. I'm in my prime
I love the Hart comment on the bottom... and watching the 3rd down play, I love that they didn't try to run the ball in that situation... not only to try to get the first down but to keep the clock running to the two minute warning. Norv mistake.

Sweet Play of the Week: With Green Bay facing third-and-1 in the second quarter, the Packers lined up in (what else?) the shotgun spread, then senior citizen Brett Favre ran a quarterback draw for the first down. You don't often see people whose hair is graying running the ball on short-yardage downs in the NFL. Favre's underhanded shovel pass on a third-and-3 looked seriously cool, too.
Bring Back Marty Schottenheimer! Leading 21-17 at Green Bay, San Diego faced third-and-3 with 2:27 remaining. The Chargers had the league's best power-rushing attack in 2006. Last week, losing at New England, the Chargers didn't power rush in short-yardage situations. Surely they'll make amends here! Shotgun spread, pass incomplete, clock stops, boom goes the punt to the Packers.
Sour Play of the Week: Now it's Packers ball at their 43, Chargers ahead 21-17 with 2:13 remaining. Green Bay must score a touchdown, so the rule for the safety is: Let nothing behind you. San Diego safety Clinton Hart lines up 15 yards deep, as deep as you'll ever see a safety except in a Hail Mary situation. Greg Jennings catches a quick slant that should have been a short gain -- and legs it out 57 yards to the end zone for the game's decisive play, running right past Hart, who simply stood there, watching the play.
