Oh and the GB WRs who were skeered of being hit

 

@AdamSchefter: Packers had 7 drops Sunday by 7 different receivers after entering the game with just 13 drops this season.

The Jordy one was huge. Half of them meant nothing and we not going to be any yardage or change the drive.

Unfortunately, Marrone probably saved his job with this win.

what the hell do you want out of a coach?

 

game balls to Mario, Dan Carpenter, Rambo and if you get a chance to watch the game again..or even in the high lites check out Kyle Williams held on virtually every play

There are so many to go around after this game. 1 guy that should be mentioned that hasn't yet been is Ron Brooks. He was great yesterday. He is s phenomenal open field tackler and a good cover guy as well. He may very well be the most underrated player on that team.

Marcus Easley has become the best special teams player we have had since Mark Pike. Had two huge plays - making a stop and downing the ball deep-

 

very under-appreciated but this guy is doing a terrific job-

Lots of ST love going around, so I'll reiterate one of my game balls from earlier in this thread: Danny Crossman.

 

Nice to have guys like Dixon and Graham around for sure; let's also recognize the job he's done getting great ST output from Brooks, Easley, Robey, Rambo, etc.

I am going to add that a game ball should go to the RB's-- all three of them collectively.

 

All three guys had crazy plays, where they turned like 5-yard losses into big gains through individual effort. Freddy grinding out yards on that last drive was classic Freddy too.

Don't forget Dixon fighting to recover his fumble.

Not game balls, but attaboys to some players who I thought (just watching the network feed) did a nice job yesterday:

 

1. Lee Smith. Our favorite whipping boy. From what I saw, he did his job as a blocking TE, and did it well.

2. Easley and some of the other special teams grinders. Again, a lot of us question roster moves, and the common response is "but he's a valuable special teams player." And we saw that value yesterday. Easley, Hogan (before he was in the regular receiver mix), Dixon, Brooks -- all these guys are good to great special teamers, and it makes a difference.

3. The inside O line. I actually saw some holes up the middle yesterday. No, the Pack defense is not the Bills defense, or even the Broncos defense. But they opened some holes and Fred found them. Another beleaguered unit that turned in a good performance. Now, as for what's happened to Cordy Glenn, that's another story.

4. Schwartz and the defensive line rotation guys -- we saw it again. They were fresh. The Packers O line was beat up and was not. Funny, when Schwartz was with the Lions I thought of him as an old Raiders style coach -- undisciplined, too aggressive, dumb penalties (Suh etc.). What I've seen here is he has his plan, he doesn't overreact (as in yesterday after the Packers scored their TD by running it inside for big gains -- some D coordinators would've stacked the box right away and Rodgers would've killed them on the next drive), he just makes sound adjustments and trusts his players.
