Yes--great game by the big guy. Single-handedly kept that horribly depleted line in the game. And the Packers were pounding up the middle with Kuhn all night. That was a very tough challenge and Wilfork really stepped up. -

He and Connoly stepped up and saved us. Brady too. He didn't come out and throw for 400 yards but like the true greats (Only Michael Jordan comes to mind), he made the plays in the most crucial moments, even if the rest of his day was forgetabble. That's another sign of greatness: being able to forget all the mishaps and just focus on the play at hand. -

yeah because Michael Jordan never had Pippen to make a shot, or Curr or Rodman come up with a big defensive play. The true greats never shine every night, the true greats find a way to win even if they aren't playing their best. (don't take this as a personal attack)Wilfork stepped up as the Vet on defense and played all 60 minutes, he set the tone for the rest of the defense to keep playing. Honestly this game wouldn't have felt so bad if that last INT wasn't called back. Otherwise we did fairly well, the Pats and the fans should be used to no namers coming up with ways to make the Pats sweat it out. -

Yeah I get that but if your star player folds (and Brady had every chance to last night), that sets a tone for your offense and defense. Instead, he stood there in the pocket, continued taking hit after hit and still made plays.
Great win anyway. It was ugly enough to unveil a lot of teaching lessons for Coach so I look forward to beating Buffalo and clinching the AFC East and the #1 seed. -

BSpikes, Vince is great. Pats have many injuries on DLine - Warren is not healthy, Wright is still wrong, Pryor has been out forever it seems, and Brace is gone too. These problems are beginning to look alarming. We need to get some of these guys back soon and playoff ready or teams like the Ravens, Chiefs and others with good ground games may run us off the clock and the firld! -

Spikes definitely would have helped against the run. Ngata and Wilfork great at what they do. Vince is the senior on this young team and continues to lead by example. -

VW is always great, I think the large amount of rushing yards accumulated by GB was more a result of our defensive game plan. It seemed to me like we had only 3 or 4 men down for most of the night. The LBs were playing deep as I don't think we believed they would run the ball near the amount they did. Strange considering they were starting newbie???
Did BB just come out with a preseason(vanilla) defense on purpose? I did notice the few times we blitzed we got to the qb!?!? -

TB is the team's MVP but as great as he's playing Vince has had an even better year when all 14 games are added up. -

he played great, almost had a couple sacks and and INT, he was getting into the backfield, i hope some of the younger guys saw his effort
