Also, HaHa had a nice game. Covered Gronk well when called and didn't let anything get behind him. He always looked to have a cap on things.

Yep. He was very much involved in all facets, not just deep coverage. That was new.

Hoody is setting them up for the rematch: http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/284278381.html

I agree with this so much PB. Hoodie will learn from this, his next game plan will be nothing like todays game IF there is a rematch later this year.

Belichick on Capers BEFORE the game, I transcribed from a pic on Twitter. Resolution wasn't great so any errors are mine.

Q: You mentioned earlier this week that Dom Capers has a background with Pittsburgh and the zone blitz is kind of related to that system.

BB: Yeah, they have a lot of them.

Q: What about that scheme challenges the offense, the zone …?

BB: Well, I'd say that the Pittsburgh system, the LeBeau system and the Capers system, the way it challenges you is that they bring everybody. Its not one, this guy or that guy. You have to block the SAM, the Mike, the Will. You have to block the strong safety. You have to block the corners eventually. Sometimes they bring one guy and drop a defensive lineman, so its a seven-man coverage. But, I’d say most of the time they bring two guys and drop one, so its a six-man coverage. So, three under, three deep or occasionally four under, two deep, which is also kind of matched. They do not always drop back and stand there in spots. They take certain guys who can actually play sort of like a man to man.

But I’d say the challenge with them is you have a lot of different guys coming. Its hard to say its him or its them or its them. You’re going to get them all. You’re going to get two up the middle, or two strong or two weak. You’re going to get secondary pressure from both sides and I think that when you come out of the game, you’ll say, ‘OK, they did this one a couple of times, they did that one once, this one once, that one once, that one once and another one a couple times’. It’s not like ‘OK, its going to be these two guys coming all day’. That’s not really what they do. Its a challenge.

Every protection you have, every play you have, potentially, if you hit the wrong thing, you’re going to be out-numbered. You could hit it right and have a favorable advantage but if you hit it wrong, then you kind of, its a tough play against that call. So if you’re trying to put together a 10, 12-play drive, [and] they have good field position, you don’t need too many of those plays, you know what I mean? You could give a couple little six-yard gains, but then you get a negative two and maybe that’s enough to stop the drive. I think that’s kind of the challenge of playing that type of system is avoiding negative plays, avoiding long yardage. Even though you could get two or three first downs, if you get one of those negative plays in there, now they have you in second and long or third and long and then you’re in trouble. So, I think that’s kind of the overall philosophy.

Ha Ha is gonna be a good one as will Adams. I don't know if he'll let another TD go thru his hands like that again in the near future.

After the game, Revis told Patriots reporters Jordy Nelson pushed off on his 45-yard TD, adding "I am not going to use that as an excuse."

Someone should remind Hoodie that they got away with hammering Jordy down to the ground in the end zone.

I didn't notice any push off by Jordy on the TD play. It just looked like he beat Revis off of his inside cut and then ran away from him after the catch. I'll have to look closer at the replay if I get a chance to see it again.

Revis played a good game. He doesn't have to lie because he got beat once by an elite player when he was shading the wrong way.

It's just too bad for him that the one time he got beat turned into 7.

I hope the Packers turn in the film from that Red Zone sequence when Nelson got Illegal Contact twice with no call in front of the back judge.

This is pretty amazing: The last time Aaron Rodgers was intercepted at Lambeau Field was Dec. 2, 2012.

Ah yes, was at that game against Vikings. Was also Rodgers birthday.

Gotta love Jordy sippin on coconuts on Revis Island! You could tell that one was special to Jordy. Instead of going for the Lambeau Leap, he headed to AR and shared a jump bump, or whatever that is...

Revis saying Nelson pushed off is hilarious.

[Freak Out]

Typical whiner.

Mason Crosby on Neal/Daniels sack: That sack there ended up being huge. ... Anything over 40 yards on that (south) side was a little tricky.
