My Meathead Matthews manboner can no longer be contained
He's everywhere on the field. He loves to hit people. He works harder than anybody else. He stripped a football from a standing running back and took it in for a touchdown. He has long flowing locks and loves America. And his farts are so nasty they come out in a toxic orange color. He is everything we wish AJ Hawk had been. Here's hoping he pulverizes Brett Favre's aching hip and prostate in two weeks.

Granted it was against a special olympics football team, but what I noticed was that having both starting safeties back in the game was a huge boost for the packers. Nick Collins is a good football player, and the difference between him and Bigby and their replacements is substantial.
Did anyone else form an impression of T.J. Lang from seeing him for most of the 4th quarter? I can say with conviction that he is better at left tackle than Daryn Colledge. That is saying virtually nothing, though.
The o-line was missing Spitz, Clifton for most of the second half and Breno Giacomini was inactive before the game. Even though Breno is a tackle and Lang is a guard, I think we would have seen him play if he was active and healthy. From what I had read, he was next in line according to the final preseason depth chart and lord knows the team is ignoring specific positions right now.
Call me the oracle or whatever, but didn't I say something about resting Clifton and Tausch until the Vikes game? Kuhn could have played on the line yesterday, done a better job and still could have scored (almost twice!). There was no reason to play Clifton...I hope we don't read a report tomorrow that says he's done for the year.
The defensive backfield getting back to 100% was huge for this team. Kampman was able to rush more, the D-line recorded a pair of coverage sacks, and of course, the impressive "coverage interception" by Jenkins. It also helped that Drew Stanton apparently runs offenses better during Hurricane Katrina.
The game was probably one of the more uninspiring shutouts I've watched, but the defense and the fact that Donald Driver is a total badass were really the only two uplifting aspects of the game.
I'll post the three-headed dick award later tonight. It was good to see that Clifton forgot the snap counts during his injury recovery, Colledge forgot you actually have to touch someone on the D-line after the ball is snapped (not once but TWICE this led to sacks), and Barbre forgot who he was at several points during the game.
Being from Detroit sucks probably about 98% of the time...Sunday qualified...
