Nice picture.

Well, in my defense, I did say “looking like”. And it’s undeniable that they have looked like one, when you take in consideration how they performed against Woodley and Harrison, for instance.

As far as pass protection, and even in run block, the last few games, the OL hasn’t been a down point, to say the least.

And when you compare them to the Vikings, Giants and Titans, lines that have been considered elite, I think in the last few games they’ve played to the level of those…

Motivation is so huge in football, especially pro football because there is less difference in talent between teams.

Thanks for giving the Packers credit for their performance against the Steelers. Frustrating as it was, I thought they played a heck of a game. Sometimes you prove more in a close loss than you do in a win, and I thought this was one of those cases. By the way, the game that convinced me that the Vikings were for real this year was their close loss to the Steelers at Pittsburgh early in the season.

elite OL? Let’s not get carried away. They have stabilized, and are playing better. Wells has played well once he got his chance. We still need two tackles for next year. Lang could be the RT, but something must be done about LT.

Very well put, Al. That “come-to-Jesus” meeting is on my brain every time we make a nice play, but specially every time I see our line looking like an elite OL.

By the way, what do the Packers do now? By midseason, it was clear: Maybe re-sign Sitton, MAYBE, and let the others walk. But now the entire OL is in contract year, and they’ve been playing well together. What to do?

I’m on vacation and away from the internet, so it’ll be a rare event for me to post any comment till the january 6th…

In hindsight, it came at a good time, also, with still half the season to go.

Only a game at Philly would be an outdoor, cold-weather game. The rest are domes or warm weather.

I said in one my articles that teams should never go undefeated before the playoffs, as you develop a mindset of invicibility. This kind of a shit kicking to the face was the perfect spark to start the 2nd half in style. As for the Vikings, they were riding so high coming in to the last quarter of the season, and now they are hitting a bad time to find their flaws.

The Saints and Vikings are no longer elite this season, and Green Bay has a perfect shot to get to Miami.

Also the Packers are a cold weather team, so even if we go on the road, the weather will be perfect for the passing game.
