1. All week we heard how Kerney dominated Washington. This week people should be discussing how Mark Tauscher is a big time player and dominated Kerney. We saw it with Peppers in the past as well as Strahan.
2. Many were not able to see how important Bubba Franks was to the running game today. He pancaked a LB on one of Grants key runs and had some wonderful down field blocks that helped spring Grant loose
3. Speaking of Grant, we got our RB of the future for a 6th round draft pick.
After his two fumbles I saw Grant head over to his OL group and slap their hands and talking to them like he wanted to fire them up. Listened to his post game interview; he let them know not to worry and that his game was going to step up the rest of the way. Very well spoken and a class act
4. Greg Jennings is a great route runner. In the short field he's the guy with by far the best ability to get open. I've fought this before, but I think it's time to annoint him as our #1 WR
5. Brett Favre is still a playmaker. He's a gunslinger and most of the time it works out for the best. He was at the top of his game. Right now two of the best 4 QB's this year are in the final four. Most likely after tomorrow the four best QB's will be left. Often the difference between the decent and great teams is the QB. More evidence is there to back that up this year. We should all be hoping to keep Favre around for more yearS
6. There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to support the fallacy that Green Bay plays poorly in cold weather. It's the nasty wind that can hurt passing teams. Those who tried to argue we were better off going to the Hell Dome in Dallas rather than playing in Lambeau are completely off their rockers.
We want home field advantage next week. We need home field advantage next week.
7. On the DL, a healthy Pickett makes all the difference in the world. Williams, Jenkins, and KGB all looked very good. Pickett is a Stud on the DL holding multiple blockers and still making plays. He makes those around him better.
8. Atari Bigby is very effective when he functions as the CB type safety. He loves sticking people and we have not had an intimidating hitter like that since Chuck Cecil. What a great game by Bigby. I hope GB can continue to find a way to keep utilizing his strengths. I think some of those drops may have been partially due to Bigby laying the wood on Seattle
9. I paid some special attention to Corey Williams today. Before the game he roamed the sidelines waving his towel to get the fans fired up. During the game he would often attempt that as well. Having Pickett out there allowed him to create some solid penetration against the run and the pass.
Pickett is the rock of the DL. At this point CW is a much better player than Justin Harrell. He just is able to do more things.
AFTER the game, he didn't want to leave. He had his helmet off, he shook some hands, talked to some reporters, and then walked back to the Packer bench, gazing into the crowd....taking in the atmosphere and enjoying it.......almost like to was thinking that might be his last chance to do so. I think I'll miss Corey Williams.
10. What an incredibly electric atmosphere it was today at the game. It was intense before the game; that intensity turned to shock with the 14-0 start. But after Green Bay scored their first touchdown the crowd was the loudest I've ever witnessed and had an impact on the Seattle offense. In that first drive after 14-7 Hasslebeck's players could not hear the signals. After that series Seattle made an effort to get up the the line right as to time clock started running and run the play right away......like that would work long. Seemed to throw any rhythym they were trying to establish off. When the snow started piling down it was truly the perfect day at Lambeau. 30 degrees, no wind, downfalling snow...and shirtless guys and bikini gals. What a classic scene. Most enjoyable game I attended since the Super Bowl playoffs when we won it all.
Hopefully there will be one more in Green Bay next week.
