Kevin Payne should get credit for zero tackles. His stops should be called "knockdowns". The guy doesn't use his arms - he just runs into people. If they fall down he gets a "tackle" but more often than not, all they do is change direction and keep running.

Get that man a pair of arms for Christmas.

When I saw that stupid horse collar tackle well out of bounds, I screamed "What the heck are you doing Einstein?" I thought that was the season right there. Alex Brown comes up HUGE!

Seasons Greetings everybody!!!!!

One of the problems with a weak coach is when an experienced player makes an extremely dumb play, such as Peterson did with his out-of-bounds horse-collar, then the weak coach excuses the player rather than chastizing him, humiliating him, benching him and eventually cutting him.This is why we see the same dumb plays week after week while Lovie grimaces on the sidelines instead of correcting the player at once.

I guess they got him off the hook, but does anyone think that GB would not have marched down the field anyways? If they would have started at the 50, GB would have gotten at least to the 30 anyways. Our defense wasn't going to stop them.

Say what you want, but I almost had a heart attack when he horse collard him out of bounds..If I was the coach he'd be on the way to Detroit...
If I was Urlacher I'd hit him with my helmet..
But we won..sighssss..I seen some remakable games between these two teams over the last 45 years and this one ranks as one of the best..
What more could you have wanted with a sorry ass offense, in the cold,coming from behind to remain in contention for a division championship.Good Luck guys and Merry Christmas,
