It shouldn't surprise anyone anymore. Every time we were in the third and really deep situations, I said out loud, "Here comes the run." What surprised me more is that he was calling runs on 2nd and 26. Wouldn't you at least want to make the third down somewhat manageable?

The run on 2nd and 23 bothered me. I'd rather see a short out to the TE or something to make it 3rd and 10ish...

No discussion warranted? It was an anomalous situation, so it warrants discussion. I assumed when it happened that it was used for a similar purpose to icing the kicker: it shut down in its tracks a play that looked like it could easily go for a first down. I didn't have a problem with it, and I still don't. I do think Mr. Triplett is going to have a talking-to from league headquarters, however, after going under the hood after that challenge. Everyone in the stadium and watching on TV knew it was the third time he'd tossed the hankie. But am I going to complain? No, it gave our defense a chance to regroup and they put in a good stand at that point.

I was impressed with the improvement in our special teams' play this week. We didn't give the 'Boys the short field like we did with the Vikings and Buccaneers. I firmly believe that -- along with the relentless pressure brought to bear by Capers -- was the primary factor in this victory. I LOVE it when I'm not throwing stuff at the screen after another boneheaded special teams penalty or blown coverage.

Mike got the game ball!

That says a great deal.......

A great deal about how many players hated that fricken negative part time field maintenance guy.

Mr. Wood was the whole problem for last seasons 6-10 finish, and a 4-4 start. See change is good.

LOL. Maybe he thinks our RBs have enough speed to get to the marker.

On a bright note, however, I must confess I'm very proud of our offensive line. The rate of sacks has slowed, and we are now on pace to only give up 73 sacks on the season. Without a doubt, our O-line is earning their keep.

The Boyz are a good team too dude. They can get after the QB.

The Packer Defensive gameball should be split between Woodson and the 4 primary Dlineman.. they owned that LOS.. and it was a thing of freaking beauty.

Woodson gets my game ball...two forced fumbles and a int. He should be nfc players of the week for his effort. His int at the goaline was huge. It changed the complete flow of the game. If they would have scored there it would have been a much more interesting 4th qtr.

Still way too many unnecessary penalties. We have to get that fixed.

Very happy with this win. Packers fans need to give credit where credit is due. We looked like a playoff team (in the second half) of this game and this defense played their heart out. This team must do everything they can to make sure Woodson is a packer's Hall of famer. Penalties need to be addressed and this team needs to prepare better during the week somehow but I am very happy with the win.

Overall, I liked MM's play calling a lot better this game than I have all year, even with the 3 pts at half time.

We were a lot better balanced (36 passes, 23 runs (not including AR's 5 runs)).

We skipped the Madden video game quick-strike offense and went with a shorter quicker, ball control offense (our longest completion was 24 yds) which, combined with a stifling defense, led to a time-of-possession imbalance of 36 mins to 24 mins.

Keeping the Cowboys high-powered offense off the field and not letting them establish any kind of rhythm was something I didn't expect, given the prior performance this year.

Hopefully, this isn't a one-week aberration.
