    Masthay/coverage team neutralized Hester. that alone should bring kudos to the Special teams.

    There's more to special teams than just punt coverage.

    When was the last time the Packers blocked a punt or field goal attempt?

    It would sure be nice to have a Desmond Howard type returner to scare the hell out of the opposition on every punt or kickoff.

    Lot's of room for improvement but it does look like the punting department has been corrected.

    if the packers defense shut down manning but never had an interception or sack would you say they were succesful?

    i was trying to say that the packers shut down the most dangerous kick returner in NFL history. that alone equal a very successful game, even though they didn't block a punt.

    Slocum sucks
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
