[quote="David Moufang"][quote="Cheesehead Craig"][quote="djskilbr"]Well DM, I still don't think the Packers' running game is very good. McCarthy called a good game today, but the Vikes' D (and offense) laid a real egg.[/quote] The Packers running game seems to be improving, but we'll need at least another 2 good weeks to accurately say they have a good one. Right now, I don't think that calling it servicable is out of line. The Packers simply beat the Vikings today, period. They dominated both sides of the ball. This wasn't the Vikings not having a good game, this was a beatdown.[/quote] Don't need to be so modest. Ryan Grant ran 119yds on the eighth-rated run defense in the league. I'd say we're beyond improving.[/quote] David - I look at it this way. Before today's game, the OL run blocking really wasn't all that good. Yes, the RBs had some decent ypc avg, but there was nothing like this kind of blocking before. That's why as much as I love the results today, I would like to see it in several consecutive games before I declare it cured. The prognosis though is very good. This Packer team is very good in all 5 aspects of the game: offense, defense, special teams, coaching and GM.
