[QUOTE="DukeCityRadical, post: 406687, member: 5726"] You guys are great and all, but honestly, when we beat you last year, we were coming off of a 2-14 season, preceded by an 0-16 season. Everyone, at that point, had our number. And since the game was largely played between backup QBs (our 3rd stringer and your 2nd), the rivalry was the last thing on my mind. My reaction was relief -- we (by and large) believe that we've finally got a coach and a front office that know what they're doing. All I wanted last year was for us to show enough promise, and seem to be improving, so that Schwartz and Mayhew (our GM) could stick around to continue to build on what they'd started. Beating the Pack started us on a roll that we're still largely on, but of course there was no way of knowing that at the time. Back then, it was a win, and they were all sweet, no matter who we beat, or what the circumstances. I wasn't kidding myself, either, about us being on par with you back then. We've closed the gap quite a bit, but props to the Pack -- you guys may have the best team I've ever seen. And the fact that I think we can hang with you tomorrow is more than I've been able to say about my team since before Barry retired. It's funny to me that you guys thought of that game as a divisional game against a former rival. We haven't had the luxury to classify games that way in years. Every game has just been another opportunity for public humiliation, leading to excessive alcohol abuse and possible violence against small, domesticated animals (joking, joking...) [/QUOTE]
