Geronimooooooooooooooo!!!!! And Other Stuff

The incredible finish to Sunday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals had me up on my feet yelling, “he’s got it, he’s got it, he’s got it" when Geronimo Allison caught that ball against the left sideline. It reminded me of Brett Favre’s 82-yard TD to Greg Jennings to beat the Broncos on Monday Night Football in 2007. I was at “The Cellar” that night also like I was yesterday because it seems where I live was the only place in the USA that didn’t have the game as the doubleheader game.

G-Mo, as Aaron Rodgers calls him, was the hero. He was suspended for the first game for performance enhancing drugs. He dropped a pass in the fourth quarter, but when Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams and Martellus Bennett were being covered Geronimo Allison stepped up big time catching 6 of 8 balls thrown his way for 122 yards.

Date Line: Cincinnati Bengals at Lambeau Field

It’s week 3 of the NFL season and the Packers are 1-1 after playing the Seahawks and the Falcons. It could have been worse with losses to the two of last year’s playoff teams, but honestly it couldn’t have been better, so 1-1 looks pretty good.

The loss last Sunday night on the national stage was the second by a lopsided score in the last 3 games to the high flying Falcons. The season ended last year with a 44-21 loss and last week it was 34-23, so I guess that was better.
