For all the good that came in this game, something towards the end of the game made me feel this team has turned the corner from Seattle and has a real shot.
Up 31-13 with about 5 minutes to play, the Packers took over with the game nearly in hand. In this situation, McCarthy's custom is to run, run, run, and limp to the finish line. On Sunday, however, Rodgers came out firing, not only on third down, but first and second sometimes. They went for the throat. They moved right down through the air and scored a TD, not a FG. 38-13, good night. I'm not sure how much it is McCarthy or Rodgers just saying I'm winning this, but both have come a long way since the Seattle game. I even liked Randall returning the interception fifty yards unneccessarily even though the game was over. This team is finally playing to win, as opposed to playing not to lose.
Edit: The 4th and 1 on your own side of the field up 8 was a bit much but I'm sure McCarthy acknowledges that and will reel it in a bit
