SKOL T-Jack

Big props to Tarvaris Jackson for saving a game for us yesterday in the Motor City. I don't care that it was against the Lions; Tarvaris looked the part and was very poised for an entire half of football. It was a big game and T-Jack stepped up huge after Gus had a terrible first half. The question all week will be if Tarvaris should replace Gus, and I have to say I'm not positive yet but I'm leaning towards yes. Why? Because Gus just hasn't been that good lately. In fact, his weekly multitude of interceptions has cost us dearly in a couple games. Nonetheless, the has an 8-3 record as the starter, which is very good. Tarvaris had a good record last year though, and look at what he did in the biggest game of the year against Washington (an awful, awful choke job). This might be the time for Tarvaris though. He's pissed off that he was benched, he's been able to watch Gus Frerotte and his ability to shake off mistakes, and he might finally have the mindset needed to lead this first place team (he's always had the physical tools in my opinion). Bottom line, we'll see about said QB situation, but I'm just happy to get out of Detroit with a win at this point in the season. Green Bay is done after losing to the Texans at home, and if we win two of three we will win the division for sure. We probably need only one of the final three, however. It would be very sweet to see the Bears lose at home to New Orleans on Thursday night and then clinch the NFC North with a victory in the desert on Sunday. Let's do it. Hey playoffs...WE'RE COMIN!!! SKOL.
