This was a good Kansas City Chiefs team. Buck Buchanan was a tough player for any offensive line to handle. With the exception of the sack in the opening drive, the Packers settled down and contained him (there was a play in the 2nd half where he threatened Bart Starr. Starr dodged him, but E.J. Holub got the sack.Forrest Gregg did get knocked down, but I reviewed the rest of the game and the right line held up very well. If you can give your quarterback 3-5 seconds of space you are doing a good job. With the exception of the opening drive, that is exactly what they did.Another note on this game (Super Bowl I). The Packers were never fighting for momentum. They almost seemed to not need it whereas most teams disparately want it. They were a ball-control team. Generally running on 1st and 2nd downs and throwing on 3rd down if need be, but they might just put a wrinkle in that format and throw on first down just to keep the defense honest.Overall, that OL did an amazing job.</blockquote>
