Whoever dreaded this game is a pussy. Suck it up buttercup.

[mraynrand]

I think a Packer Rat predicted this score pretty near dead on. Can't remember who.

Wasn't me thank God

[mraynrand]

and both said that the hole made crosby hit the ground before the ball

video evidence proves that that is a flat out lie

Crosby topped the ball. Plain and simple. Could come back to bite em for that second seed.

how does he top it when the video clearly shows him hitting the ball below the midpoint?

also if he would have topped it the ball would have gone down, not up

I'm not going to split hairs, but his foot was very high on the ball - just compare it to his other kicks.

But I agree there was no turf monster not tip/touch/deflection from Masthay or anybody/anything else. It was all on Crosby.

It was me, I predicted pack 24 - 17, just a tad closer then denveryooper, plus I started the fucking game day thread.

What do I win?

Congratulations, old wise one! You win a chance to do it all over again next game! Don't let us down.

It was DenverYooper...

That was a desperation move. I thought it would come about by the offense getting back on the same page. Instead, it was mostly Lacy keeping drives somewhat coherent mixed in with some big plays to Janis and Jones along with a solid defensive game.

Special teams helped a lot, too. The Packers had better field position most of the day. Those hidden yards help immensely.

The key, as always in football, is with the lines. Both lines - offensive and defensive - played much better this week. If both play well Thursday, the offense will continue to improve and the defense will force Cutler into playing like Cutler.

Field position was huge.

If Stubby takes any lessons away from this game, I hope its that having Janis stretch the field is a good move. I also thought Datrone Jones had a monster game. I'd like him to play most of the game Thursday.

Yeah, I agree. While you can keep Hyde or Cobb for safety catches, no reason Janis doesn't return every other kickoff for the rest of the season. Seeing him accelerate past the coverage was frankly amazing. I think he got yelled at after return attempt two, which perhaps should not have come out, because he went down fast on kickoff return #3.
