MM: No medical updates from Sunday. Weren't any injuries to report after the game either (including Nelson)

SERIOUSLY, THIS IS HIS MOST UNDERRATED TRAIT. UNFLAPPABLE WITHOUT IGNORING REALITY.

MM not focusing on Peterson's possible return. "If something happens, we'll adjust."

NOW I AM WORRIED HE ACTUALLY PAYS ATTENTION TO THIS STUFF. LIKE PHILLY BEAT WRITERS DID TO EAGLES WEARING HOME WHITE TO FORCE DALLAS INTO ROAD GRAYS. IT WORKED ONCE I THINK.

McCarthy: We're not only 4-0 in (throwback) uniforms, but the point differential is pretty high. Those were all pretty good days for us.

[smuggler]

I honestly love the throwbacks, even more with the yellow helmets. I wish the pants were yellow, though.

I like them too. Love the jersey. Not sure I would love yellow pants, but yellow helmets work OK.

[ThunderDan]

My wife hates them and asked me why they have them. I said a third jersey to sell to fans.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Do you agree with Maxie; was this a signature win?

Better than road win versus Dolphins?

I don't know if I agree with Maxie. I sure feel better about the team after the win than I did before. I thought it was an important game to win for a lot of reasons. The Pack made Sanchez, Philly and Chip Kelly look way less formidable than advertised. The next two games will clinch it for me. Can we smoke Minnesota at home in a game we're supposed to? Or will we lay an egg as we have in the past? Can we beat New England, a top quality team, with a proven coach, the best tight end in the league, a good running game and an elite QB? Or will we stumble as we have in the past?

The New England game would probably be my "signature game." Right now I'm pretty darn confident we can beat Brady and company, at home or away.

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

Wonder how many DLs are smart enough to take the angle he did there. How many times do you see a play like this from a DT?

[smuggler]

I saw that play live and I said to my friend that it was one of the most impressive line plays I've ever witnessed. Recognizes the screen. Locates the running back, tracks him to prevent a cutback and push to the sideline, follows it by wrapping up a particularly wiry back.

The outcome was nice, but obviously not spectacular. A simple tackle. A pick six is preferrable, obviously, but this play was a thing of beauty, nonetheless.

You would need Jolly to intercept it to get much better. He could have recognized it earlier (that goes for all the line) but the pursuit was spectacular.

[Pugger]

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.

Oh, thanks for that clarification. I truly wondered about that play.

Not that many weeks ago a lot of folks were ready to run Guion out of town on a rail.
