Suck on that Viking fans.

I thought Shields had a outstanding game in coverage. Every time they threw his way it was blanket coverage.

Having a healthy Shields and Williams allows Capers to use Woodson all over the place. Third safety, blitzing CB, LB in run support. The guy can do it all and that flexibility adds a dimension to the defense that is very disruptive to the opposing QB especially when that QB is a rookie and can’t diagnose things very quickly.

For the first time I thought the interior of the Packer o-line played below average. Lang got beat multiple times when they moved Allen inside. Wells got blown back on a few run plays. They also just didn’t handle the stunts and adjustments and Rodgers was being pushed out of the pocket from inside way too many times. Probably the worst game of the season in regard to pass protection.

This team was 6-3 last year at this point. 9-0!

He seems like the type of guy who will work extra hard so it doesn’t happen again. That 2 in 3 weeks now. He knows it. I think yesterday, he got excited after returning one already that he was looking for another.

Mistakes make these type of guys better. Everything I’ve read, seen outta Cobb makes me think he’s just like the other high class, great character guys. The guys who love football and put in hours on end to improve.

He may of screwed up. But it didn’t cost us. And hopefully it makes him better. So next time when we can’t afford a mistake, he’ll be out there making a big play for us this time.

He’s looking to be a pretty good player, and exciting returner, and you gotta expect young players to make a mistake here and there. Hopefully he puts in the time and make sure he catches the ball every single time.

There are always concerns, and of course, always some positives.

* I disagree wrt Cobb’s muffs. The team has been able to overcome so far, but come playoff time a mistake like that could give an opponent a chance they shouldn’t have.

* I was also disappointed in the muff because I felt like the Pack could get a shut-out tonight, especially after that missed FG.

* Not only do the Packers have the best offense in the league–does anyone have a better backup QB? There’s a fair number of teams that don’t have a starter that good.

It’s not just the way he plays. The post-game interview on the field at the desk sitting next to Young showed his manner, his modesty, and his style. Reminds me a lot of Starr.

We’ll never forget you, Brent.
