I don't think there can be any debate about this. Masthay was unquestionably the player of the game. It's impossible to overstate the importance of field position in the NFL, and he set the Bears up with consistently terrible field position.

nonstop raises a good point about how undervalued field position is...the Rose Bowl yesterday is a great example. I'm reluctant to call Masthay the MVP, but he's had some incredible games this year (Jets, today) and has demonstrated what an incredible asset your punter can be!

If by MVP you mean MVP for the season, I think the award has to go to either Rodgers or Matthews. Perhaps both.

As I said in another post; I am not nervous anymore with Masthay punting.
This guy has got it going on!

You might get some people thinking Raji too. Matthews really tailed off after pulling his hammy.

I was commenting on MVP (of the game) which will likely be an option on packers.com along with Walden, Rodgers, Woody, etc.

I'm not trying to take a thing away from Masthay and what he did at all, just hard for me to call a punter the P.O.T.G

BTW, well put yooper.

Really the only player to really stand out on defense was Walden (may be because we aren't used to seeing him make plays). Everyone else played great, but there wasn't really a stand out player (which isn't a bad thing).

Walden may have stood out for his big plays, but he lost contain at least once and it cost us. Frankly, I hope Zombo is ready... he gives us the best shot with his more consistent play.

Yes I agree with you. He was still the player that stood out the most THIS game.

But I still want Zombo back, although Walden appears to be the better pass rusher.

I think I'll go ahead and question it.

To clear the air: Masthay played beautifully. No doubt about it. And while his role is fundamentally tied to field position, and field position is important, to me Walden made more high impact plays. It can tend to be easier to shine when you have one responsibility: kick the ball. When you have to rush the passer, play the run, and drop back in coverage, it's hard to stick out. Walden stuck out. Two sacks, 10 tackles, key tipped pass -- just generally always being around the ball.

Now, a few have pointed out he gave up contain. Yeah. But he made up for it.

This is entirely subjective, of course. But Walden gets my game ball.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Well, I guess it is fortunate that McCarthy usually gives out separate game balls for Offense, Defense, and Special Teams.

At least he can't be slammed for picking one over the other for deserving game ball.
