I never liked it. It got a little success because defenses hadn&#39;t seen it, but it didn&#39;t take long for them to find some old film of Detroit running the run-and-shoot and figure that out.<br /><br />It might help, especially given the precarious situation at both OT spots. But, it is still a caricature of a real offensive set that the Packers should be able to run. You shouldn&#39;t have to rely on a 5 wide set just to get a play off.C.D.

I booked it at 50/50, him standing up and him knocked off his feet and landing on his back. The Steeler game brought back to us, the real Brett Favre - the one that makes mistakes and figures he can blame everyone else. (At least he could always count on the Press to do his blaming for him)<br /><br />And, did you see those ticky-tack attempts at tackling whenever Pittsburgh took the ball away and was running for the End Zone? What happened to the Helmet-grabbing linebacker we used to know and love? I ask you....<br /><br />I root for TJ Lang to do a much better job at LT against Jared Allen than Colledge could ever do on his best day. Allen is a handful for any Offensive Line. Yet, there is film out there where Jared Allen becomes invisible and has no value-add in the game.<br /><br />Question becomes: Has the Coaching Staff sought that film out, so as to teach the Players what they didn&#39;t see or know about the last time? my neck itches and that means...uuh, NO, they didn&#39;t.<br /><br />I certainly agree that the Packers regaining their ability for takeaways would be an outstanding PLUS, especially against the INT KING. Favre does owe us some of those points back, don&#39;t you think?<br /><br />Atari Bigby is back and I hope he stays healthy. This means Clay Matthews will have some help out there. Bring in Nick Collins, and suddenly we gain back some symmetry for INT&#39;s. And, do I really have to discuss Charles Woodson?<br /><br />Will our D-Line be able to push back the Viking&#39;s O-Line, so that Brett remembers that crowded feeling? There is a very real issue that Capers has yet to demonstrate a possibility of. Ever since Holmgren left, we don&#39;t have push from the Defensive Tackles. Capers was supposed to help bring that back, with consistency. You can&#39;t tell me Pickett, Jolly and Raji aren&#39;t enough to make that happen. Still....<br /><br />In the last Vikings game, I still say that hit on Will Blackmon was a setup and premeditated - they went after him. It was scripted. Favre ordered it. Or, at least warned the Vikings about his return threat ability. That&#39;s my opinion and I&#39;m sticking to it.<br /><br />Question: Who will they target in this game?<br /><br />1) Favre does play worse when he falls behind in games. That&#39;s always been the case. Especially after Reggie White was gone. He tends to throw those INT&#39;s more often..<br /><br />This means MAC is who must make sure to score first and keep scoring with every possession. None of this FG nonsense with the Prevent mentality. If he doesn&#39;t, Rodgers will be who plays from behind. Is MAC jittered by Favre?<br /><br />2) I&#39;m pretty much tired of McCarthy not allowing Rodgers the 5-Wideout set, ON EVERY PLAY, like he did with Favre in 2007. It&#39;s time to give Bootlegger the very same options that the Ginslinger enjoyed two seasons ago. If not, then MAC WANTS US TO LOSE. Can&#39;t look at it any other way. Say what you will - if it isn&#39;t true, then why NO 5-wideout sets?<br /><br />Right off, Favre will go for the long bomb score in the first three plays of the game. That&#39;s the only way he can get rid of the huge sack of butterflies he will have walking out onto his old home turf. And, like you, I want to see the Packers grab back some of those points he OWES the Packers back.<br /><br />GO PACK GO!IPBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03931852283204108373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328789579487679553.post-16905331453648442512009-10-29T18:52:02.628-05:002009-10-29T18:52:02.628-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.IPBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03931852283204108373noreply@blogger.com
