I actually disagree. I think that with the exception of Driver (most games), our receivers show little to no spirit at all, Jones and Jennings in particular. On that interception, the DB was fighting for the ball, laying out for it. On the replay, it looked like Jennings barely put any effort to get to the ball and simply gave up on it. Yes, it was a phenomenal play by the DB and sometimes you just have to give him props for making the play, but it's a pattern we're seeing consistently this season.

go.pack.go - After the ball had left ARod's hand (removing him from fault), Jennings started to turn upfield, instead of coming back toward the ball, which opened up the area for Tillman. Had Jennings not turned upfield, Tillman would have dove into Jennings, causing a penalty, or Jennings would have made the catch.

You see that they have spirit in their reactions to misses.

I am not sure it is fair to criticize Greg for giving up on that play - it may have been impossible for Greg to torque his body in a way that allowed him to compete for the ball.

I'd like to see a small, very agile and speedy receiver who can double as a KR/PR specialist. I think that would do wonders for us. As usual though, I couldn't agree more with musccy. If we had lost today, it would have been completely on the shoulders of the receivers. Rodgers played well (the INT was Jennings' fault, as he ran away from the ball after it left Rodgers' hand), the running game was bad but the same as usual so you can't say it was sub-par, and our defense was phenomenal. It is obvious that the WR's are not lacking in spirit. They WANT to do good. But for one reason or another, they are NOT. They are dropping the ball and fumbling the ball like crazy. Or not reading blocks and missing a crucial 1st down (cough...Jordy...cough). They need to step up next weekend, or they're going home.
