Eagles are banged up - uphill battle - but I am more optimistic with the win. Good west coast offense play calling. O-line is getting better. Against a good d also.

At least, next week, the Eagles don't have any stellar recievers and Westbrook has been hobbled. Maybe our D can play better, because they will need to.

[woodbuck27]

We better enjoy this one, I think next week will be rough, but I am so happy that Brett gave them some good things to say about him and the team Monday night!!

If this keeps up, Dan Marino should be personally attending games towards the end of the season. Pass the torch Dan.

CONGRATULATIONS SCOTT and ALL PACKER FANS that support WINNING !!

[Brando19]

Stallworth isn't playing today b/c of a hamstring injury. Think they're trying to get him healthy b/c we scare them next week???? haha...wishful thinking i guess.

Good stuff - huh Woody!

you cant second guess running the ball there. Your back is suppose to hold on to it.

the subject is moot. now.

whew

Are you kidding me? This will be talked about for some time. You can't keep feeding Ahman the rock if he's going to fumble it away at critical times.

Unless there is absolutely nobody on the bench to replace him ...

there isn't.

Exactly. In any case, Green has a known history of fumbling early and getting it cleared up. He's too valuable to this team (and the cupboard is too bare) for us to give up on him after 3 games.

Herron is another story, but even he will probably not be cut unless we can find someone to replace him with. I believe TT is trying every day to do just that, but it's easier said than done. The guys sitting available on practice squads are not likely to be better than Herron, who, after all was sitting on a practice squad last season. At least he knows the plays.

give morency a bigger role in the offense, move him ahead of herron even. ahman contributed very well to offensive production until he fumbled at the end. i still say the should have taken a knee three times and punted but oh well.

was that fumble on a run by ahman green to his right?

[Tarlam!]

Did Verba play?

But wait. We were on their 30. He could have taken a knee 3x and kicked a FG.

No, it was to his left. The ball was in his outside hand. He got twisted funny. I dunno, I've got big love for Green, but I don't know what happened there.

It was to Green's left.

Before the season, long before anyone knew he would be a Packer, I read a report on Morency that he dances too much and doesn't pick a hole ... Texas was down on him and didn't think he was a good fit for the ZBS. We saw that on at least one of his three runs today. I don't see him being a big factor in the run game. Hopefully he adds a dimension on special teams.

that was actually my original thinking but i kinda lost my train of thought after the fumble lol

[DannoMac21]

That loss last week still bothers me, but it won't bother me as much if the Saints win tomorrow.

Green was carrying the ball in one hand too far away from his body, and the defender put a helmet on it from underneath.

[FritzDontBlitz]

yeah, imagine us 2-1 right now after being humiliated by the bears in week 1.

greg jennings gets the limelight on espn tonight for his 75 yard td i'm betting....

[Iron Mike]

Wow.....Poppinga made me swear at his poor coverage only 6 or 7 times this game.
