Paging All Youse Grammar Police - HELP!

[SzczerbiakManiac]

I have another grammar question. One of our more annoying directors sent out a banal Thanksgiving e-mail last week which included this sentence:

"Perhaps all of us can get passed the big dinner and look forward for the opportunities ahead to be grateful."

Am I correct in thinking he should have used "past" instead of "passed"? Or is that a perfectly cromulent sentence?

DeSean Jackson of the Eagles said that it's "unpossible" to cover him with one defensive back.

"Perhaps all of us can get passed the big dinner and look forward for the opportunities ahead to be grateful."

Maybe it's a fortune cookie calling for a happy and safe post-Thanksgiving, uh, movement.

Passed/past isn't the only grammar error in his sentence.

I would have said "Perhaps we can all get past the big dinner, and look forward to the opportunities for being grateful that lie ahead.

The comma is unnecessary.
