So at first I thought maybe I was coming down with something, maybe some late summer allergies. Turns out it was confidence in all aspects of the team. Wasn't really concerned with the defense (losses or changes) wasn't really concerned with the offense (though hell, how much they used Percy... didn't see that coming).
Wasn't really worried about the running game or whether Beast Mode was going to lose a step (but holy crap, I didn't expect him to look that damn good). Mike Rob said in an interview before the game the Marshawn was angry and would probably run for 100 yards and a couple touchdowns... well nice job Mike rob, nailed it on the head.
When Green Bay scored that first touchdown, and this is a first as a fan for 32 years, I wasn't in the least bit concerned. More like, yawn, whatever, here comes Russell.
Not sure what to do with this new found confidence. I'm going to just have to come to terms with it. This must be how Patriots fans feel.
On another note.
1) Brilliant that Green Bay decided to put Boykin (WR3) on Sherman, and thereby completely bypassed him all game. Is this going to be the birth of Sherman tailing the #1's across the line? (He's done it before with Crabtree last year and it worked out really well. Don't believe that Sherman is a one trick pony)
2) On the same note, pretty smart putting Cobb and Jordan in the slot the whole game. Considering you have Sherm and Maxwell, arguably two pro bowlers this year, it seems so simple now to take two of them out and focus on left middle passing.
3) Jeremy Lane was doing some great tackling, but let's be honest, got beat a couple times.
4) On the same note, who the heck is Marcus Burley?! I mean I paid really close attention to the pre-season and never saw this guys name.
5) I feel folks may get down on Britt, but besides 2 or 3 snaps, he had a really good game against an older Peppers.
I feel like this is a dream how good the team looked today against a really good QB with all his weapons and the Offensive Rookie of the year. Somebody pinch me, I'm in football heaven.
