Actually, combined they only have 1539 yards rushing, but if you look at rushing AND receiving they are both over 1000.
Two 1000 yard rushers would be really tough to do splitting carries.
Apparently you’ve never been trick or treating in Detroit
Good story on what Kelly has done.
I believe the Vikings center had the longest completion of the game for them. That was a funny play.
California schools still on Christmas break? Can't be, Ya Ya wouldn't have time to post this then.

For me, it was a December 2004 game vs the Jags.
If memory serves at all, the Packers had a remarkable record in cold-weather games at Lambeau. Then a team from central Florida comes to town, and it got all kinds of ugly.
The cold wasn't as brutal as that Bores or Giants game, but TOG still managed to throw 3 INTs, and got beat by.... Byron Leftwich!
I'm sure BK will be thrilled to hear you think he's from central Florida. 
@Satori posted:The icy cold
The icy cold game vs the Bears a few weeks earlier was the one that first alarmed the Packers brass. Favray got outplayed by Kyle Orton, and clearly didn't want to be out there that Sunday afternoon. Wind chill was -18 and Favray was already dreaming about Mississippi. Packers got creamed 35-7 and Bert delivered a QB rating of 40.

"...From a purely football perspective, the organizational shift against Favre began that November night in Dallas, gained steam in the arctic cold of Soldier Field and became a raging blaze during Favre's pathetic second-half showing against the New York Giants... with a Super Bowl berth there for the taking."
There's a really good quality capture of that Giants game on YouTube.
Very borderline Roughing the Passer call on Nick Collins that kept the Giants going on a failed 3rd down to open the 3rd was an absolute killer.
Five fumbles by the Giants, only 1 that was recovered by GB was as Giants were returning an INT by Favre. 5 fumbles and you recover 1. Unreal.
And the worst was the McQuarters fumble on the last (SHITTY AS HELL) punt by Ryan with 2 to go. Jarret freaking Bush tries scooping and scoring instead of securing the ball. No one near him. Just fall on the goddamn ball you dingdong. And then even after that Poppinga had it in his paws...
That first INT (1:32:20 in above link) by Favre gets forgotten because of OT, but Jesus H Tapdancing Christ on a Cracker, that INT was one of the worst decisions I've EVER seen up there along with Philly playoffs and his pick 6 he threw in 97 vs the Lions (go to 54:40 and marvel at the quality picture of this) when he fell down right after receiving the snap and yet I think this is worse. One could argue the OT throw was just a bad throw. A good throw to the outside and he's got a solid game. This one? My god. 1st and 10 at the Giants 31 and he rolls out to his left, gets pressured and he just hucks it up in between 3 Giants. Just the most Favre decision ever. Run it. Throw it out of bounds. Nope, just hurl it in to the ether and hope for the best.
Burress absolutely destroyed the D all day and they didn't/couldn't/wouldn't do anything to stop him.

reminds me of a great comment from Steve Sabol:

LOL! I hear ya, bro.
There are times when I look up an old box score to confirm info (like the one about the Jax game above). The raw numbers can range from remarkable to shocking, then the memories flood in.
Some of those are like Alex hearing Ludwig's Ninth.
That's my favorite band! Nothing gets me going in the morning like some red neck rap.

You seem off lately.
It's the heat and humidity.
Are you sure it isn't the huberosity?
English is important.
Geographical knowledge is importanter.

A little splash of Gold Bond should do the job. And boxers.

Funny read about Brady's struggles this year.
So he's going to struggle to put up 5000yds and 40whatever TD's? I'm not going to read about an article looking at Brady under pressure. Of course he wilts under pressure but the rub is that he almost never sees it.
Of course, Brady struggles under pressure. So do Cousins and Grappolo. Pocket passers who can't get out of the pocket or know when/how to slide around in the pocket will struggle under pressure. What else is new? Young guys like Fields, Lawrence, etc., also struggle under pressure because they aren't experienced enough to know what to do. What else is new?
