		<description><![CDATA[I was traveling also and about fell over when I caught a score in the 4th quarter. Watched the recorded version last night and I was absolutely amazed by our defense. They actually looked like a fluid 3-4 defense.  Where the hell was that against Tampa?  Blitzes were disguised and timed correctly. Run defense was outstanding. Romo seemed confused all night and the Cowboy offense never got into any kind of rhythm.   I can&#039;t say enough about Woodson.  He had an amazing INT and caused two more fumbles.  His ability to stick his nose and help the running game is also a huge plus. Amazing game by him yesterday.  The front three also were very good yesterday.  Jenkins continues to be a very effective 3-4 end and I thought Jolly was disruptive and very effective most oh his snaps.  Barnett and Matthews both played fast and finished sacks and tackles.  

The offense really had two drives that were succesful. The drive at the end of the first quarter for a field goal and the TD drive in the 2nd half which essentially broke the game open. Rodgers played well and his two 3rd and long passes on that TD drive were just outstanding.  Both times the players were covered and Rodgers stuck that ball in there perfectly.  They ran the ball effectively in the 2nd half and I was happy to see some of the short passing game reappear this week.  

But, this offense is never going to be consistent with this offensive line. Sacks are penalties are always to kill drives and I don&#039;t how this line gets much better.  I keyed on Clifton and I think he was the worst offensive lineman on the field yesterday.  I understand he had his hands full with Ware a lot of the time but he did very little well yesterday. Two screen plays were blown up because he couldn&#039;t block the one guy in a position to make a tackle.  I counted 3 or 4 run plays where his guy basically threw him down and made the tackle.  Throw in his penalties and there were at least 7-8 plays where his poor play caused the play to fail. 

Looking forward I think this game may be the blueprint to get some more wins.  The offense will continue to struggle but hopefully do enough to allow our defense to play downhill like they did today.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Packerbelle, welcome back.  I&#039;ve been worried about you.

The Pack put together a pretty solid game last night and it was about time.  I would certainly give Woodson the MVP award and hopefully he&#039;s considered for NFC Defensive Player of the Week.

I still say MM&#039;s no head coach &amp; TT&#039;s no GM (gotta give him kudos for Woodson though).

We can also thank Tony &quot;DeNiro&quot; Romo for that win.  He missed several throws that could have been huge gains or TD&#039;s.

That game had to rank among the top 3 or 4 worst officiated games of all time.  At least they didn;t play favorites.  Horrible calls against both teams.

I&#039;m thinking Matthews is going to be a good draft pick.  Raji, I&#039;m not so sure about.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any season in which you beat Dallas is not a total failure.  Still, the Pack continues to lead the league in self-inflicted wounds of every sort.  There is talent here, but talent is not enough.  If there is a wildly optimitistic precedent for this team, it might be the 2007 Giants.  They were a slop-fest early that season, giving games away (seemingly quitting against the Packers in week 2) and generally disappointing the fan base with their under-achieving ways, but somewhere in December it clicked in for them, the D started playing at a very high level and the developing QB discovered how to do just enough to win and they got on a roll . . . this team has the talent to the same, and there is still lots of room for improvement.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Dreampipe-I&#039;d love to agree with you about Mike throwing the 3rd challenge to give our guys a rest.  I&#039;d love to but I can&#039;t.  I just don&#039;t think he&#039;s that smart.

And as everyone says that Nelson challenge was ridiculous.  For goodness sake, you got 1st &amp; goal on the 2, why bother.  And I think he threw the challenge flag without conferring with anyone.  It came out quick.

Good ol&#039; McChuckles.  Good win, I&#039;ll take it but TT &amp; MM still need to go.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Can I say I am shocked?   I was traveling for work yesterday and was pretty happy I&#039;d likely not be able to see any of the game.  When I called to let relatives know I&#039;d gotten to the hotel safely and was told the Pack was winning I was flabbergasted.

From what I&#039;ve read it seems like the team still has a lot of things to improve on but it seems like they really did step it up.  The question then becomes can they they continue this level of play or will they revert next week?   Rodgers seems to have done better with his timing and hopefully will continue to improve.   Sometimes it is easy to forget that he&#039;s only been starting for a season and a half he looks so polished otherwise.   This is something he needs to work on and it hopefully it is starting to click.

I&#039;m not going to start saying that the Pack have turned the corner, but last night at least gave some hope for the rest of the season.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jones played well enough to get one more start.  Not the job but another shot at it.  Kampman is a great football player and human being, but he is a horrible outside linebacker.  Just aweful.  They really should have moved him before the trade dealine.  He is free agent and he will leave (and he should) but the team won&#039;t get anything for him.  Just think of all the draft picks TT could have gotten.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with you about how long it takes to develop the run play.  I was watching the Colts-Patriots game and I saw how much closer the running back stands to Manning.  It looks like Grant is at least 7 years behind Rodgers.  It doesn&#039;t make any sense to me.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nick,
Right on everything.  Eager for a postgame look at Jones, but think he couldn&#039;t have done much worse than Kampman in coverage.  And that&#039;s from a Kampman fan.
