Yes, the game was exciting, but to Packer fans, it was a tremendous disappointment. To coin a phrase, the best team doesn't always win. Although three time MVP Brett Favre had a pretty good game, sometimes it looked as if the vaunted big guys on D, led by the giant Gilbert Brown, just couldn't get it done.

The Broncs cut-blocked the Pack's D-Line, and Terrell Davis took full advantage of it. An incredible 17 tackles were made by Packer safeties LeRoy Butler and Eugene Robinson. That adds up to big yardage, folks. It didn't help either that Packer starting right end Gabe Wilkins left in the first quarter and was replaced for most of the game by Darius Holland.

No surprise that Davis ran a lot to Holland's side.

Turning to Green Bay coach Mike Holmgren's decision to let Denver score--it was his only option. Never mind that it didn't quite work.

The Pack was still haunted by the loss to Indianapolis on November 16th. Indy ran the clock, and then stopped time with a kneel down to kick a last second field goal.

The Pack was heavily favored, but the Broncos won. That's why they play the games!!

My favorite commercial was the AT+T spot about the secret young love. There were too many "worsts" to mention. I guess when you spend over a million dollars for 30 seconds, and God knows what on production, quality or a point can be secondary issues.

Dumbest post-game comment, which was spoken by several "experts":

If Terrell Davis carries 30 times or more, the Broncos can win. NO, DUH!! If he's running that much, they must be playing ball control, and they must be leading!! (He carried 30 times for 157 yards.)

An only slightly less intelligent comment would have been:

If the Broncs have more points at the end, they should win.

Any bets for Super Bowl XXXIII?
