Who's Your Player of the game?

[Brandon494]

Seriously I dont know how some of you guys are mentioning Favre was the MVP. Yea he had a couple of nice plays that were fun to watch but there were about incomplete passes he threw that could have easily been picked up. Also the fumble near the end of the 4th qtr could have cost us the game.

Crosby is the real deal and would be my MVP of the game. Also the defense played a great game against a very good philly team.

How bout the coach for calling a win?

[Willard]

I'll put in a vote for Al Harris for Most Inspirational Performance. It is critical for this young team to see the veterans toughing it out even with multiple compound fractures........Way to play hurt, Big Al!!!!

The Brett pick in the first half changed the game so on O I d't think anyone deserves it but Jolly would be mine on D with Crosby on ST. If we score on the drive when the pic was thrown, my bet the fourth quarter would have been much more relaxing. He had a strong second half, shakey first half.

He had no excuse on the play. Bad pass, but it hardly changed the game. It was 3rd and 1 1/2 from the 40. They intercepted at the 20. Big deal. Maybe they kick a 57 or 58 yard FG, or maybe they punt, or maybe they miss a FG and give the Eagles the ball at midfield.

westbrook was clearly the best player on O on either team, he would look good in green and gold.

NcNabb wore down, but you will NEVER see Westrook as good as he was today later in the season. Westbrook was absolutly unstoppable unless we gang tackled him. He will wear down. He does every year. I thought playing the Eagles early would be great becuase of McNabb, but it had its downfall because of a fresh Westbrook.

No one stood out on offense? LOL

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.........

You are kidding right?

What about our over-the-hill QB? You know the guy who spent most of the day on his BACK but still managed to complete passes?

As far as his INT, go look at the replay. Franks should have caught the ball. Sure, the pass could have been a yard deeper but when you are under that kind of pressure, you give your receiver a chance to catch the ball and he let's someone TAKE it from him, that's on the receiver not on the QB.

To say no one stood out is one of the funniest things I have heard all day. Favre's drive to tie the game @ 13 was the type of magic that we have been missing the past two seasons. We ALWAYS lost these types of games. That drive was EXACTLY what our offense needed to jump start the season.

crosby and..........the whole defense. considering how much they were on the field they stayed tough. gotta give the philly special-teamers a nod too. lol

"....No one stood out on offense? LOL".........

Um, no, no one really stood out on offense - except Crosby.
There's lots of room for improvement with everyone else.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Driver had a nice game for a guy who was hurt.

My "Player of the Game" is Jarrett Bush.

He caused the muff on the first punt return which directly resulted in the Packers only TD.

Then, his fumble recovery on the second punt return miscue set up the winning FG.

Huge plays by Jarrett Bush and very instrumental in the W.

Just read on JSO that this was Donovan McNabb's worst statistical game in two years. You can blame the pressure. He went 15 of 33 for 184 yards, 1 TD, 1 interception. In his last two games against the Packers, he had these stats:

288 passing yards and 4 TDs in 2006 (no interceptions)
464 passing yards and 5 TDs in 2004 (no interceptions)

[Deputy Nutz]

Offense: Nobody

Defense: Nick Barnett

Special Teams: Mason Crosby.


Favre made some plays but he missed some crucial throws I can think of a third and one pass where Favre missed Jones down field.

McNabb had something like a 99 QB rating against the Packers going into this one. What'd he have today, something like a 63? Shows how this D has improved.

I will go with the fan favorite - Mason Crosby. What an incredible way to start your career.

On D...gotta love Jenkins, Kampman, and Jolly. It's the D that has me excited about the season...if only the O can come together at some point.

[HarveyWallbangers]

defense - Barnett/Jolly - Barnett single handily shut down westbrook on some of those big stops. Jolly was huge knocking down passes on big passing downs. They split it.

The new guy at JSO agrees with you.

Q: Tim of Batavia - Who do you think was MVP today?

A: Greg Bedard - That's a tough one, Tim. I'd go with either Nick Barnett (13 tackles, INT, tremendous vs. Westbrook) or Jolly (three tipped passes). Actually, it's no contest: Barnett. And a lot of what he did won't show up in the stat sheet. A great game by him.
