But it was the correct no-call. Its not a penalty.

Disagree. He pushed him past the ball as underwood avoided it, then he dragged him back into the ball. You are not allowed to do that, should have been a holding penalty, but if not, ruled that he was pushed into the ball.

kudos to the secondary coach; it's rather unbelievable how much better Shields has been than at start of the yr

Well spotted! Shields is a rookie and plays like a pro today. Awesome!

[gbgary]

Yea, guy had two hands full of jersy and dragged him into the ball. Minimum should have been a holding penalty.

never thought of that. hmmmm

[pbmax]

Holding is a rare penalty called on a defense unless its a pass. I have never seen it called on a kicking team. Underwood needed to bail out of there, or fall down and make it obvious the Eagle was holding him. Otherwise it was two players battling to make a play. There is a reason he was getting an earful from M3.

Game planning in all 3 phases.

Oh and kudos to the fact that when Kuhn caught the ball in the first half, I could hear the Pack fans in the crowd yell KUUUUHHHHNNNN!!!

Awesome job DD too. Awesome job to the dude with the dreads that I've never seen before who blocked for Starks. And to Starks and everyone for firing on the same cylinders.

And to Starks and everyone for firing on the same cylinders.

it would be very ineffecient to fire on the same cylinder. now firing on all cylinders is much more powerful.

First big props: The defensive backs.

Woodson, Williams, Collins, Peprah, and Shields. They all played a great game back there with very minimal breakdowns. I don't recall Woodson giving up a single big play when he was in man, Williams had a great pass break up and a game ending pick. Shields broke up a deep pass to their best weapon thanks in large part to his speed. When all those guys are on, it's very hard to pass the ball against us.

Second big props: Front 7. Constant pressure on Vick most the game. Not as many sacks as we would like, but we got enough to make a difference. Matthews had a big time sack to end a drive (nice to see his intensity translate to the playoffs) and a big stop of the RB on 3rd down. Guy is just a play maker. Bishop had a nice early sack and did well stopping the run. Jenkins looked good out there for his first game back and should only get better.

Last bit of good jobs: Starks, Rodgers, Kuhn, Driver. Starks had himself a game, and I think the OL played very well for him to give him some holes. Rodgers has to get props because this isn't a style he is use too (balanced) with the pregame guys talking about rodgers maybe throwing it 50 times this game. He played within himself, dumped it off a lot more, and still had good production. Kuhn for just being a gamer. He fumbles? Yeah, f that, he is at the bottom of the damn pile ripping an easy eagles recovery away. Oh, and it was a for a first down. Bounces right back with a 18 yard pass catch and run (nice run in a space), and really only had the one play wer relied on him where he got stopped. Not is fault, untouched LB's are going to blow that play up 9 times out of 10. He's Kuhn, and I still have no doubts about how reliable he is.

Driver is the surprise maker to this list. Despite a drop (who didn't have one?) he came through in a lot of clutch situations getting us key first downs. In a game where we didn't throw it as much as is normal, he lead the team with almost 60 yards recieving and 5 catches, 3 for first downs (or was it 4?). Driver came to play today, and could be a major factor the rest of the way should he be able to go.

Am I the only one who thinks the play should have been blown dead? Looked to me like the ball had stopped moving and the Eagles were making no effort to down it. Instead they pushed Underwood into it.

Why can't that play get reviewed ????
