Default Still a little freaked out about timing

Engine is FINALLY put all the way back together (minus a few tiny steps here and there) But as mentioned in the title, I'm nervous lol.

When I remounted my heads, cyl # 3 was at TDC, and all my valves were closed. However, the eyelets on the cam sprockets did not line up, so I stopped where I was and here I am.

Questions: 1) Am I just freaking out? 2) If not, now what? 3) Did Green Bay really win?

If the cam "wings" aren't lined up then something is wrong. I have no idea what though. What exactly, repair/maintenance wise, did you do?

Every time I do anything to my car I am always nervous that "something" is wrong and I spend a few tense miles of reacting to every noise, shake, shudder, etc. It slowly wears off over time but I have not had it go away yet.

What is a "Green Bay" and what are they accused of winning?

The passenger's side is facing about 1 oclock while the driver's side is facing just about 9 oclock.

Can you take a pic of the cam sprockets/front of the engine and post it?
