One HUGE postive today

[VegasPackFan]

I never heard this even one time during the game:

"Pass interference. Number 28 on the defense."

Win or lose, it was pure heaven, I tell you! Pure heaven.

[MJZiggy]

Not once did I hear "Brett Favre intercepted..."

[packinpatland]

ONE (1) only one Sack. Unfortunetly, it was on the last play.

At least when we gave up a completion today, you could tell who was supposed to be covering the receiver. That's a start.

well, one huge good thing that i can see is that we have a bye week to heal up and work on many problems. then after that we have 3 straight, very winable games

I wouldn't exactly be singing the praises of Dendy as a huge upgrade over Carroll yet. I saw him get beat a few times but Bulger missed his man.

Unfortunately during the bye week, most of the players bug out of town.

Given the present state of affairs, they should be spending more time working on the problems. They have all off season to do what they want.

The toughest part is that the N.O., Philly and St. Louis games were winnable.

Common denominators....DROPPED PASSES, TURNOVERS, PENALTIES. Fix those 3 issues we win at least 2 of the 3.

Well, we do have a shot with the next 3, but the sleeves need to get rolled up and work has to get accomplished.

Herron was on the radio saying they have a normal week of practice this week and next. That is good news, in my opinion.

That is really good news. I tell you, the more I see from MM, the more I like him. Individual accountability and expectations for success.

Vince,

you're in the top 10 posters here imo. Keep it up!

Yes, Dendy was covering from behind regularly. This first game, he doesn't appear to be the answer, but I still love the move to get rid of Carroll. He certainly did no worse than Ahmad has done for three years.

Well, that might be an improvement. At least Dendy kept his hands off the guy so overthrows were incompletions and didn't look like interference, holding, etc.

It also looked like the light went on last week for Harris and Woodson. Who knows why?

[VegasPackFan]

Vince, you understand the original point of my post.

DB's get burned in this league. It is inevitable. I just could not tolerate the fact that AC was either getting burned or penalized. He always gave the other team TWO ways to make a positive play. Plus he acted like a punk.

It is a massive improvement to not hear those words anymore.

Ever hear of "Addition by subtraction?"

[ahaha]

How about the O-Line opening up some holes? Noah Herron over 100 yds. They must have been doing something right for that to ever happen.

True, but Noah Herron is destined to be one of the truly great runningbacks in NFL history, so I'm not sure how much credit should go to the O-line!
