There are too many teams in the NFC that could go on a surprise late season/playoff run so I'm not even that confident of their chances at winning the NFC. Only 2 yrs ago, this team was 4-12 and everyone had written them off. It's nice to be relevant again.[/quote] Amazing things happen when you hire a real coach instead of an Andy Reid flunkie

That playaction in OT never would've worked had we not shown some ability to run. I think people need to stop the bellyaching about our run game.

He had 1 deep safety who was actually cheating over to the strongside and was in no position to be in on that play. Bad coaching

Status: offline 		Grant ran the ball with authority last night. It was nice to not see our RB pussy-foot around in the backfield hoping something will happen. He made a decision and went all out to make it work. That alone will get him more reps and likely the starting job against KC. Let's see how he does against KC (17 vs run) and MN (3 vs run) before we anoint that the Packers have turned a corner on running the ball.

Status: offline 		Craig, I don't think you guys are "bad". Didn't mean to insinuate that. Favre is playing the best he's played in years so far, and I really like your defense. My main problem is your running game. It's pretty rare to see a team go far with maybe the worst running game in the league. You need to have balance. So I'm just saying you're not a 6-1 team in a good year. That's all. I would like to think I'd say the same of the Vikes if we were 6-1 right now. No disrespect meant. You guys could very well be the 2nd best team in the NFC this year. I just don't happen to think the NFC is particularly good.

SportsNation Jemele Hill: Then there will be an hourlong show about how those two deserved to die.

Status: offline 		Well, the Pack are now 7-1! :itsgood: Definately a game the Packers should have won convincingly, but 2 INTs by Brett in the first half and some stupid penalties kept KC in the game at halftime. Brett more than redeemed himself in the 2nd half with 2 big TDs. The defense was real shaky for a while there in the 2nd half but they stood tall when it counted and Woodson got the big pick for a TD to seal the game. Woodson also had a big punt return that got the Packers w/in FG range to get us up by 4 and force KC to score a TD. Never thought the Pack would be 7-1 at the midway point of the season. But I'm thrilled they are!!!! :D I'm just going to enjoy this game for the rest of the day. On Monday, I'll worry about what evil things AP is going to do to our defense next week.

AD's gonna tear you up next week, like he did the first game. But this time, Childress won't call off the dogs!
