Pittsburgh Steelers 20, Green Bay Packers 10

(no, tackle the guy with the ball. And aren't you supposed to be on offense?)

I got to catch the brutal end of the latest Packer debacle, a 20-10 loss to the Charlie Batch-led Steelers in Lambeau. I remember the good old days, when the Steelers were a bunch of guys named "Yancy" who dropped game-winning passes. Yesterday, it was the Packers who should have been named "Yancy." Brett Favre kept throwing the ball near his receivers, and any balls that weren't thrown into the dirt were either dropped or batted into the air in lieu of being caught. You know what it was like? Remember that Simpsons episode where Homer's brother buys him the Denver Broncos? Homer's mad because it's the Broncos and not the Cowboys (this was in the early-90's, before the Elway-Davis Super Bowl victories), and you see the Broncos practicing on the Simpsons' front lawn. They were dropping the ball, falling down, throwing the ball off of each other's helmets, etc. That's what the Packers looked like yesterday. I don't want to talk about it.

Until yesterday, Charlie Batch didn't have a victory at Lambeau. Another first for the 2005-2006 Packers. Bleah.
