I didn't get to watch until the start of the fourth quarter (had to take the girlfriend home). I saw us losing by a little, and then I saw the whole goal line fiasco. Using a spread set shot gun formation on 4th and inches with an empty backfield. I was just shouting at my TV. Horrible play call. I kept thinking why does McCarthy alway abandon the run???
Now I see why. We have a great quarterback, not a good one. This year Brett has two extra receivers because the TE doesn't have to stay back and block. The o-line is not great by any means, but they don't need to be nursed by our TEs and fullbacks staying back to help block anymore.
This allows one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time (IMO the greatest) to do what he does best. Wing it. I can't believe how much better Brett has played this year. His decision makings gone up. He's in sync with his receivers. He makes the big throws when needed and does not make the bad ones at the worst possible time.
I was a little hesitant to drink the Packer kool-ade after wins against Philly and NY. But now I have seen enough.
This D is for real. The offense is starting to click. The special teams is a strength (which it has never been since I have been a Packer fan). When this running game gets on track, watch out NFL.
PACKERS WIN THE SUPERBOWL???
IMO, we got a damn good shot.
And thats more than anyone (except KGB) expected from the Pack at the beginning of the season.
