Hey, Harv it's a small victory for Frost...let's take it and call it good.

[Fosco33]

Frost had an average of 55.5 yards on two punts, so good for him too.

Didn't he have the wind behind him on almost every punt and he kicked them into the endzone? That's what I remember?

Yes, the first bounced at the 5; second rolled for 15 yards into endzone - net avg was 35.5.

My close friend played with Frost and he got tickets to the game (and a locker room, behind scenes tour).

I asked him if we can do a Q&A and he said yes - I'll post a thread so get your ridiculous questions ready.

[Fosco33]

Kind of stinks that I don't have confidence in this defense. If the defense was as good as last year, I'd feel pretty good about this team.

Do you think they'll get better?

Is the reason primarily injuries, scheme, personnel or effort?

What's your opinion of the D after the game (or this game), Harv?

[The Shadow]

Huge boost for the defensive backs.
This kind of victory, against Manning, no less, will be of almost inestimable value as the season goes along.

This is what I was expecting. Of course, we've had a lot of injuries. I hope we can get healthy and play like this the rest of the year. What would our record be if the defense had played like they did last year? Probably 6-1. Ironically, the one game that it might not have mattered (Dallas), they probably played their best game before today.

I think the DBs have played pretty well. Rouse has had some troubles, but Collins, Tramon, and Woodson have played lights out. Hawk seems affected by his injury. Barnett isn't the same player. Chillar has been a bit of a surprise. The DL has been the biggest disappointment on the entire team. The guy who was perhaps playing the best of them all (him and Kamp) is out for the season. Man, we could really use some help from everybody's favorite, Justin Harrell.

It was probably a wise move to hold JH out til after the bye; he'll be working back into game shape and I doubt they expect him to excel off the bat

Bretsky, what do you think of Jordy Nelson? He looks like the receiver I thought he'd be. Good size, decent shake, good speed, great hands. He just may be the man to replace Double D.

Agree; he looks like he can be a starter and top tier #2 WR down the road. Gotta lock up Jennings soon though

Ouch - 15yds into endzone? You would think the coverage team would have downed it before it rolled that far...unless it was a real line drive?

[MJZiggy]

IIRC, someone was there but had his back to the ball when it came down.

[Sparkey]

Two things could happen:

(A) We get blown out

(B) We win narrowly.

Your forgot (C) We are a good team and blow them out! LOL
