Football is a game of momentum. Philly came out hot, and having an unseen novel offense helped them (not to mention good play). But Al's fumble on the first possession and then RGIIIs INT set a tone. Took a while to get out of that funk.

If we lose in GB that sucks, but let's be realistic. That is a tough place to play and GB is a great team coming off a tough loss. Think our safeties will have an easier time with Rodgers? But the next two after that are crucial.

We need to get back our proper attitude. We haven't earned the right to take plays off or to think other teams will roll over for us. We are not that good a team (yet). We need to play like underdogs. I think we thought that we're already good. As my old coach used to say, we acted like we thought our sh** didn't stink. It took a 33 point punch in the mouth to wake us up. Glad we put up some points at the end, and maybe it will knock us back to size. We need to play with our back to the wall now! Not wait until we have to win 7 in a row again.

(Why does it always have to be Philly on Monday nights? Ugh.)
