Packers Luck Continues

In a previous post, I commented how lady luck has finally found the Packers.  Although they were going to beat the Cowboys regardless, luck was again on their side.  The Cowboys fumbled a kickoff with 2:04 left in the first half.  The ball popped right into the hands of a Packer (Collins) who returned it for a touchdown.  Not only was it a lucky bounce, but it wasn't a fumble at all.  Replay showed that the guy was clearly down before the fumble.  However, 2 plays earlier the Cowboys used their last time out so they could not challenge the call.  Furthermore, if this would have happened 5 seconds later, at 1:59, the officials would have reviewed the play and reversed it (inside 2 minutes in either half, only the refs can call for a replay). 

Other luck?  How about the fumbled punt that just barely stayed in bounce before being recovered by Jared Bush?  Or the fumble by James Jones that was recovered by Nelson?  Speaking of Jones, recall in my earlier post that I was tired of his dropped passes and fumbles.  Well he fumbled again and dropped an easy touchdown pass. If he makes those mistakes next game against the ViQueens, we will lose.

In the NFL, luck doesn't necessarily even out during a game, but over the course of a season it usually does.  Rarely, however, a team can ride a wave of luck the whole season.  I think that is what happened to Favre and the Vikings last year.  I sure hope that Packers luck continues at least for one more game.
