[QUOTE="DarkHelmet, post: 1023541, member: 9399"] Studs: Love. I was wrong about him -- he does have what it takes. It's amazing how quickly he went from pretty dreadful to top tier. I've always been a fan of his demeanor, his poise and his toughness. My concerns were decision-making and accuracy. How does a guy go from woefully inaccurate to nearly Rodgers-in-his-prime level precision? In half a season? I don't know, but wow! Clements probably gets a lot of credit, but Love himself had to have been the one to make it happen. Jones. It's a joy to watch him play at such a high level again. All the young receivers including tight ends. Good route running, good hands and the unteachable difference maker: speed. This Melton kid -- he's like a Janis who can actually run routes and catch the ball! O-line. No sacks. that's remarkable. Opened holes that were just big enough for Jones to hit. Against an allegedly good defense. Can't ask for more than that. Defense. Everybody on D played well, kept to their assignments, hit hard and tackled sure. Because of Barry or in spite of Barry, that D looked sound. We've known they had at least league average quality, but the scheme always seemed to undercut their innate talent. Coaching. MLF in particular. He had it right for this game. Excellent mix of run and pass, a few clever plays but not gimmicky, put players in position to succeed and had them ready to play. He and Love are really on the same page now, and it's clicking. Duds: Missed extra point. Not putting kickoffs through the end zone late in the game. Yes, I know they had some success stopping returns inside the 25, but when you're sitting on a big lead, don't take the chance of a momentum changing big return. A couple of undisciplined plays, one of which kept a Cowboys drive alive for no good reason, and a couple of which could have been called against us, but fortunately weren't. I'm thinking of the Jaire Alexander shove on a receiver after the whistle when the two of them were nowhere near the play. A couple of poor ref calls. The horse collar that wasn't a horse collar. Not really a dud, but I actually think it was a mistake to put Love back in during garbage time. Essentially all he did was hand off and Clifford could have done that. No reason to risk an injury. I understand not wanting to take a chance of letting the Cowboys pull off a miracle, but again, if the game plan is going to be hand off on every snap (which was totally appropriate) let the backup do it. All in all, a fantastic win in a game I thought they had basically no chance going in. Oh, one last stud: Packer fans in the crowd chanting "Go Pack Go!" [/QUOTE]
