OT--- While I watched the Lions game, I went over the waiver wire for my Fantasy Football team..and promptly snatched Charlie Batch off of it and onto my team! Don't worry about Barry, he will give the money back and look for Ron Wolf to snare him for the Packers... I laugh when I think of how the Packers PASSED up on him to get TONY MANDARICH!!! LOL!!!! The NFC Central will be the ELITE division. Now, if only Tampa Bay would get rid of that pathetic QB...Dilbert?? ;-) Annette Do you know WHY the Packers won in the last 2 minutes of their game? BECAUSE FAVRE CALLED ALL THE PLAYS. Let Seattle rot with Mike Holmgren.

Hi George, That was a great win; congratulations. As I mentioned, the Detroit D was all over in the 'Hawks backfield today. There was a mismatch between WR Dawkins and his coverage man which Holmgren didn't take enough advantage of. The Detroit special teams looked outstanding. Crowell looks like he could be another big-name receiver. Batch looked much better than Kitna. Seahawks' RB Green never got the ball except for on kickoff returns, where he looked like a running back and not a return man. I have a theory that Green's hurt. They should have given more to the FB, and thrown more to the tight end, and of course Dawkins. I've always though Ross a good coach and believe this win gives him some small vindication. I would love to see the Lions challenge for the central title. Time will tell. As for the Seahawks, in my opinion this loss lowers expectations from 10-6 to 9-7 for this year. FWIW Andy
