That was payback for the hit on his knee the previous year, IMO - just a little playground justice.
And before anyone gets fired up, I know full well Al didn't do that on purpose, and I'm sure AP does as well - but as a RB, you take your spots to let players on the D know that you can and will hit them, also.

This is true, ILike, and I got to participate in that debate "over there", watching that thread go on for more pages than I can count.
And Pack93z...well, he is exactly like you in the sense that he is a true student of the game, seeking an objective analysis of not only the what, but the why, as evidenced in his post just prior to yours.
There is, however, another dimension to rivalries, and I like to explore the edges of the envelope when engaging my fellow zealots from other franchises, and this is where 337 lb. NT's come in handy.
As a "for instance", let's pretend that Pack93z and I are on a Chicago Bears discussion board after we beat them in Lambeau last year. Here is how Z's post would look...
PACK93Z: " I was mostly pleased with our play, and AJ Hawk surprised me in that he seemed to step up far more than I anticipated having watched him struggle early on. That was an excellent interception by Urlacher, Aaron needs to improve his route awareness and not become so myopic in his reads. All in all, having reflected upon the actual play of the two teams involved, I honestly do not feel that the 37-3 score is truly reflective of the talent put on display in that game.
Here comes me...same discussion forum, same thread, same time, same set of circumstances......
