Special Teams not so special. Actually, coverage looked fine versus Sproles. FG and punt blockers looked over matched.
Matthews looks like he is still nursing a leg.
Nelson might have another leg.
Ivy League schools still teach the leg whip.

Do you agree with Maxie; was this a signature win?
Better than road win versus Dolphins?

Tim Masthay's punt is blocked and he is limping off the field afterward. Second blocked punt allowed by #Packers this season.
Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 14m14 minutes ago
To recap your #Packers special teams today: Blocked punt. blocked PAT, bobbled PAT snap/miss, missed FG, punt return for TD.
For Joe:
Jersey Al - ALLGBP @JerseyAlGBP 19m19 minutes ago
love that last part RT @robreischel: If everything holds up, #NFC wildcard teams are #Packers & #Cowboys. #Seahawks & #49ers would be out.
Green Bay Packers @packers 24m24 minutes ago
Rodgers today: 22-36, 341 yds, 3 TD, 120.3 rating. #PHIvsGB
What'd you do, start this in the first half?
That was an all out ass whooping against a good team minus their star QB
Our offense is clicking right now and there may not be anyone that can stop them
If the d can keep their shit going, we're gonna be tough to beat the rest of the year

Green Bay Packers @packers · 37m 37 minutes ago
McCarthy on Eagles' tempo: I thought we handled it very well. Our communication was seamless. #PHIvsGB
Green Bay Packers @packers · 36m 36 minutes ago
McCarthy: I've got to figure out new ways to compliment Aaron Rodgers. He's playing at an extremely high level. #PHIvsGB
Green Bay Packers @packers · 35m 35 minutes ago
McCarthy on Lambeau Field success: We have a great home-field advantage. It's a special place to play. #PHIvsGB
Green Bay Packers @packers · 33m 33 minutes ago
McCarthy on Hyde punt return for TD: Micah did a great job catching it, getting north & south & finishing it. Great return. #PHIvsGB
Green Bay Packers @packers · 21m 21 minutes ago
Rodgers: We're playing really well right now. This is the kind of stretch you want to be on at this point in the season. #PHIvsGB
Green Bay Packers @packers · 18m 18 minutes ago
Rodgers on Eddie Lacy: He's such a big guy. He's tough to bring down. He's a weapon and he's got deceptive speed.
Green Bay Packers @packers · 16m 16 minutes ago
Rodgers: This was important to gauge where we're at. This was the kind of win we needed. #PHIvsGB
Green Bay Packers @packers · 15m 15 minutes ago
Rodgers on 27-yd TD to Nelson: Done it a lot in practice. We talk about the throws & spots we want to hit. Jordy's a great route runner.
Regarding Cobb....

Where has Daniels been?
Haven't had a chance to watch the game yet but I see that Rodgers was only 4/10 on attempts to Jordy. Good coverage? Bad throws?
Jordy had a couple of balls knocked from his hands. Overall, the Eagles were very physical with him. I would say the rainbow in the endzone was just a good defensive play, whereas the sideline pass inside the 10 was slightly underthrown but nonetheless is a drop.
Right now, believe it or not, Atlanta leads the NFC Sloth at 4-6 due to their win over the Saints in Week 1. They still play each other in New Orleans. Seattle is in deep trouble. They trail Arizona by 3 games, and even their wildcard chances don't seem great. Their schedule down the stretch is brutal:
12 Sun November 23 Arizona Cardinals
13 Thu November 27 @ San Francisco 49ers
14 Sun December 7 @ Philadelphia Eagles
15 Sun December 14 San Francisco 49ers
16 Sun December 21 @ Arizona Cardinals
17 Sun December 28 St. Louis Rams
What's gotten into the Rams with all the winning and shit?
Reporters have cleared Jordy:
Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 42m42 minutes ago
I was wrong. @JordyRNelson "was just tired. I’m good." Limp? "We got stuck on the sideline for awhile. I was just trying to warm back up."
Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 38m38 minutes ago
In fairness, Jordy didn't say he wasn't limping. He also enjoyed laugh at my expense. RT @louise__lep: I thought the word was delusional. :)
Best quote of the game so far:
Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 2h2 hours ago
Peppers on his interception... "I’m not necessarily sure how he didn’t see me on that.”
I am liking Julius more and more every week. Pick 6 or no.
Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 2h2 hours ago
Julius Peppers... “This is the standard. This is what we expect. This isn’t anything different from what we expect."
Q has to get better at this. You have to get Eddie with your right elbow and hand inside your torso. Meanwhile, you reach futilely but obviously to block Eagles #27.

Actually...all the contenders in the NFC West have brutal schedules remaining because they have to all play each other a lot. Seattle, SF and Arizona are going to get to know each other real well over the next month plus. That is a very good thing for everyone else in the NFC.
This about sums up the weekend:
Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 16m16 minutes ago
#Packers coach Mike McCarthy must've watched @Melvingordon25 and @BadgerFootball on Saturday. "Great weekend for Wisconsin football."
Rivers McCown @riversmccown 13m13 minutes ago
NE vs. IND, 2013 playoffs: 46 carries, 234 yards, 6 touchdowns. NE vs. IND, tonight: 45 carries, 244 yards, 4 touchdowns.
I am sensing the Patriots might try to run on the Packers.
Anyone notice a Bear front for the Packers in the Philly game?
http://espn.go.com/blog/green-bay-pa...bay-packers-24Quote:
More from Matthews: A week after he debuted at inside linebacker in certain defensive packages, Clay Matthews added another position to his list. On several plays, he actually lined up on the line of scrimmage but outside of the outside linebacker. He batted down a pass from that spot in the third quarter. He started the game at inside linebacker next to A.J. Hawk, just like he did last week, and played the majority of his snaps there. He also played some snaps at his old spot, right outside linebacker. He was credited with five tackles, a sack and a pass breakup.

On the season, Peppers now has 30 tackles (17 solo), five sacks, six pass breakups, two interceptions (for 101 yards, two touchdowns), two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries.
Quote:
Asked multiple times if dominating a playoff contender like the Eagles was the jolt of confidence this defense needed, Peppers shook his head. He called this "the standard," what the Packers "expect."
Adam Levitan @adamlevitan 26m26 minutes ago
Per PFF, Eddie Lacy now 4th in NFL in yards after contact per attempt. Top-5 are DeMarco, Arian, Ivory, Lacy, Marshawn Lynch.
Hello McFly, HELLO!

However, they certainly have the look of invincibility at Lambeau Field, which was their gateway to the Super Bowl in 1996 and 2010.
Packers might have a better run D than the Colts. Plus NE went with 6 lineman.

New England Patriots 42 at Indianapolis Colts 20
Aaron Schatz: So the Pats come in 31st in run offense DVOA, then spend the first drive completely stuffing the ball down Indy's throat with six-offensive-lineman sets and run after run. (Colts were 22nd in run defense DVOA, so at least that part makes some sense. Plus, they employ Erik Walden.)
Eddie, Q and the Gang in gif form.

There was a discussion with Mike Pereria last week on talk radio and he said pushing the running back was OK as long as you don't grab him. He was commenting on the Monday Night game, I think, where a WR was grabbed by a player in the end zone and pulled in for a TD. He said that definitely had to be called by the ref but wasn't.
http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/...ckbhuna04r.gif
I can't figure out how he survived the tackle attempt by Vinny Curry (75). Curry, by the way, puts the lie here to the idea that the Iggles got tired of tackling.
