Can anyone explain the logic of our players going to the ball when it is bouncing around on the ground on a punt that isn't caught? I've started to really notice it since the Eagles playoff game, and also seen it in the Bears championship game, as well as yesterday in the Super Bowl. Don't these guys know they can be blocked into the ball? Hell it actually happened against the Eagles!

They shouldn't do that. No! Bad Packers! Bad!

I don't know why Williams wanted to be anywhere near that ball when it was clear he wasn't fielding it.

Let's hope TT drafts a real returner in the draft - someone who can go the distance, take it to the house, run the table, phuck the philly, shin the dig, y'know?

Pretty amazed that Tramon didn't get flagged for the swing he took during that play.

You're joking, right Freak?

look at the guy who's coaching them

slocum is as incompetent as they get, unfortunately with a super bowl win i really don't see MM making any coaching changes unless someone else is dumb enough to take him

I think it'd be unreasonable to say the special teams were as bad as they were last year. They definitely cut down on the penalties.

So instead of being ranked 31st they're probably 29th or something Movin' on up!

According to http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamst Packers were 27th this year, compared to 32nd in 2009.

Ka-Ching! Slocum's bonus kicks in if special teams don't finish dead last.

Looks like someone is driving home that '06 Lexus he had his eye on at Packertown KarMaRT.
