Post Game Thread : Packers Slay The Vikings On Christmas Eve

one thing that bugged me in this game was the way hyde handled the punt returns. he seemed to take too many risks. there was one punt that he came from 20 yards back and was running at full speed when he just reached up and snatched the ball out of the air. similarly, on another punt he fielded the ball on a bounce while running. i told my son, he's going to muff one of these - and sure enough he did. fortunately we recovered the muff.

The offense has been rolling and the defense has been opportunistic. If the Packers continue to get turnovers at the rate they have been they can continue to win. They are +13 in the 5 game winning streak in turnover margin.

I think 2011 is enough to temper the offensive enthusiasm. The D has indeed been opportunistic with TOs, but something has to create those opportunities, and I'm concerned that it's not a scary defense that's doing it (hence, a game-to-game situation). However, given my name...

of course, part of the reason for that differential is that rodgers has not thrown an interception in the last six games.

That's part of it. Rodgers had 7 INTs and 3 or 4 lost fumbles in the first 10 games. The D only had 10 takeaways in the first 10 games. They've had 14 takeaways in the last 5 and only one giveaway.

Rolling into the playoffs with a WTF attitude is the right way to go. Most, including me, had them written off but I say throw caution out the window and go win a Lombardi. Nobody expects it so just hang loose and let it rip.
