A Congratulations Letter from a Packer Fan.

It was a great game against a class opponent – and now a very class fan-to-fan nod.

Secretly, one of my fav NFC teams is GB (I got to see the very 1st SB, so I have a special place in my heart for GB as our original big game nemesis). Don’t tell my guy that…he’s from Chicago and a Bears fan. :-D

All these tubby plain white motherfucking Favre fans with you? I know you guys arent the same as these guys down here. But please take them and shove them across the border. Fake Packers Fans (who were Cowboys fans a few before) need to be exorcised from this area.

Thanks! Rec’d!

At the end of the game, he is shown on tv with his beanie on and kinda lets out this smile like, “Thanks KC… Thats what we needed..” I know it sucks to watch a perfect season go down in flames, but hopefully this helps the Pack realize how vulnerable a team can be if they let up one little bit. Hopefully this ignites some fires in GB and they can make another playoff run. Good luck the rest of the way!!

Rec.

and thank you.

Some points:
-our DC doesn’t like to run man coverage but it’s what our players do the best. We’re not that deep in the secondary but our starters are top flight.
-Hali is a 34 OLB and he is among the game’s best
-Derrick Johnson doesn’t post a lot of stats(save for innumerable tackles) but he’s the best ILB in the league not named Willis
-we’ve secretly been a very talented team, up and down the roster, for two years. We’ve just been lead by junk QBs

I have yet to meet one I don’t like. You guys were great over here.

Thanks for the respect. It’s pretty awesome that passionate fans like the Cheeseheads are able to appreciate this Chiefs defense. I really think we’re knocking on the door of having a great defense, and it’s cool to have other folks of other teams appreciate it. Funny that you don’t really know Hali’s name. Let me help you out with a few defensive players you should remember:

Derrick Johnson, ILB – He’s been one of the best ILBs in the NFL this year, if not the best.

Brandon Flowers, CB and Brandon Carr, CB – Two of the big reasons the Chiefs D almost seemed catered to beat the Packers. Together, these guys are phenomenal. They give the Chiefs, IMO, the best CB tandem in the NFL.

Tamba Hali, OLB – Beast mode. The guy has a motor that never quits and is constantly fighting off double teams and STILL terrorizing QBs. The guy gets held on damn near every play too, I’m not exaggerating.

These are the big four for this year. You might think I’m just being a homer, telling you to learn these guys’ names, but they’re going to be national stars for KC for years to come. Add to them Berry, as well as the up and coming rookie OLB Justin Houston, and this D has the components to be great for years to come.

I look forward to the day that an elite defense like what KC is building and a powerhouse offense like GB get to reenact the first Super Bowl.

Good luck the rest of the year. You and your kind are cool peeps and I’ll be rooting for the Pack if they make it back to the Super Bowl… unless of course KC manages to meet you there.

Appreciate the recognition!

To be honest, while I like what they’re doing with personnel in the front 7, I think the game was as much about the state of the Green Bay O-Line. Maybe with Jennings in there, O-Line is semi-irrelevant, because Rodgers can still just sling it, even with unblocked pass rushers. But the O-Line situation DEFinitely allowed Crennel to run nickel ‘n’ dime at you all day long, without much fear on the ground, and a bewildering array of ’tweeners to throw at the line, from a bewildering number of angles.

Perfect execution against Sabby or maybe a pass interference call against him, and maybe things go differently. You have to figure on a few drops, here and there, in a pass-dependent offense. The blow-up of the O-Line, though, really gave the Chiefs an edge.

KC’s best defense is that tough man-to-man fronted by the blitz. There weren’t a whole lot of quick passes available, and the pass rush was preventing much else from happening.

I think that even though the defense was out-matched, man-for-man down the field, there’s enough versatility in the group, as a whole, to make the coverages fairly difficult to parse, although it was a near thing, when RAC went with the 3-MAN pass rush, and that coverage had to actually hold up. I think the last thing Rodgers wanted to do was spend the afternoon running. I think if Green Bay had had more at stake that Brian Bulaga might’ve come back in. He looked OK over on the sideline. The Packers have definitely hit rock bottom on OL. This may be good for them and give them a little boost in a couple weeks.

Nice Post. Thanks for the Hat Tip. I got to spend some time in Green Bay many years ago. A buddy of mine and I got out on our motorcycles and cruised around town one afternoon. Went by the field and saw the Packers Hall of Fame. The stadium made an impression on me. Thinking about all that had gone on there was a cool experience.

The people in Green Bay were some of the nicest I have met, and from what I see in the comments here, they continue to be good ambassadors for their town. You are a prime example. Good luck the rest of the way. Not having Jennings may be more of a detriment than I had originally thought. The Packers will be going up against some very good defenses in the playoffs. Winning in the NFL is HARD. Great teams overcome. Let’s see if these Packers can get’r’done.

Brandon Carr needs to be extended right away. NOW!

@ home, fumbled snap by Phllis, game over
