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.

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."

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.

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.

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.)

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.

I'm a tad surprised they didn't flag Q for assisting Lacy getting into the end zone there.

Eddie, Q and the Gang in gif form.

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.

Anyone notice a Bear front for the Packers in the Philly game?

you mean where they line up and then quit? No, I didn't see that.

Saw that too. What was he smoking? Maybe thinking gateway to the playoffs in 2010, but...weird.

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.

I think he was trying to grab his arms while tacking, hoping to force a turnover or make a TO more likely on the next hit. But when Eddie spun, he lost his grip.

More on Mike Pereria.

On talk radio today he was talking about his time as head of the refs. He said Monday and Tuesday he would receive tons of calls and e-mails asking about all the questionable/horrible calls from the weekend.

He said he once got a call from Jim Mora during halftime to complain about a PI call. Mike Pereria told him he only had 12 minutes and he should be with his team.

Must be seen to be believed. Best defense against Darren Sproles in years.

That makes sense, Curry going for the strip. For some reason when I first saw the play it looked like Curry tried to wrap himself around Lacy and Lacy just shrugged him off without breaking stride. Maybe it was the angle, but it looked like Lacy took all of Curry's force and then gave him a superman move.

They also used defensive backs instead of Brad Jones to cover him out of the backfield. Hyde had him blanketed a couple of times. Probably was out of the 2-4. Unsound!
