My pluses:
+ McNabb running the ball effectively to start the 3rd quarter and get that opening drive to snatch the lead...
+ Turnovers!!! I asked for some picks and I received...of course I did not expect LaJuan Ramsey to actually have one...but I'll take it
+ Points given up: 9...after surrendering a garbage time TD to the 49ers it was encouraging to see the D stand up and deny the Packers at the goal line...THAT is playing a full 60 minutes...
+ Nice defense adjustments at half time, plus a few key drops by Packers wideout. It was the Packers turn to look discombobulated in the second half, and they went from looking like a confident offense to a halting one by the midway point of the third quarter...
Minuses:
- TURNOVERS...Buckhalter is lucky he's still in uniform after coughing up the ball inside the 5 not once but twice...I know it was exchange the first time, but you know what, you gotta secure that ball...
- McNabb low-balling his receivers in the first half...calm down 5 and quit overthrowing things...
- A seeming inability to react to the underneath passes that McCarthy had Favre throwing the entire first half...I think that's the reason we didn't get any sacks...Brett was dumping the ball off so damn fast...in the second half, we got decent pressure and it would've been nice to snag the old man once or twice...they did get in some licks, but nothing that goes in any stat column...
Oddity of the week: At the quarter pole of the season Peyton Manning has as many rushing touchdowns as Edgerrin James...2...think Edge misses that Colts offensive line yet?
