Next week….McNabb is awful. It’s hard to decide if we want to play against McNabb and all the film we have on him or a rookie QB in his first start. This will be the Vikings superbowl on Sunday but I honestly don’t think it matter unless Green Bay just loses total focus and lays an egg.

I was not happy to see a return of the “drops” by Nelson and Driver and I think maybe Jennings. Didn’t hurt because of the opponent, but lets hope it doesn’t turn into a trend. On the positive side, the Nelson TD was a thing of beauty because we could all see it develop from the line of scrimmage.

The Shields concussion after the INT in the end zone was the type of avoidable mistake that makes watching even an excellent football team like GB maddening some times. I think the entire Pack fanbase and coaches must have been yelling “get down!!” as soon as he secured the ball, and yet for some reason he runs across the endzone and now he might miss a game. Is there any way to make players understand how precious the ball is and how they shouldn’t take unnecessary risks when they secure a turnover? Especially after last year’s playoffs when the packers dodged two bullets on similar plays/situations (Shields fumbling vs. Bears and Traman running it out of the endzone vs. Philly) . . . Is the instinct to return those balls just too strong?

I think you’re right. In addition, it makes sense for the Vikings to hold off on announcing until later in the weeks. If the Vikings can catch the Packers defense unprepared, they may eke out a win.

Capers would probably approach Ponder much like Newton and Hanie. Rush four, drop back and make him read coverage. Oh yeah, and stop Peterson…

We will not be seeing McNabb next week. Ponder is likely to start after the Bear debacle last night. Ponder is Michael Vick without accuracy. Just the kind of QB that can give GB problems.
