Humoungous win gives us momentum for 2 games in 5 days

That was the signature win for this team this season. Against arguably the best team on our schedule, at home, having lost to them the past two years, with 3 rookies starting, having lose our last 2 in dramatic fashion, we needed a clutch victory at home and got one. The defense was the best I've seen it post-Reggie White. Not many people expected us to walk out of Lambeau at 5-4, but evidently the defense did. Massive games by Charles Woodson, Cullen Jenkins, Clay Matthews, and Nick Barnett. The first three of those guys should be pro-bowlers (you can vote now).

Up next is San Francisco on Sunday, and then a short 3 day break before our Thanksgiving game at Detroit. Our stuffage of Barber Choice and Jones gives me much more confidence facing Frank Gore now than I would've a week ago, but still the 49ers are a very underated team who beat Chicago by the same margin we did. We've had great success against Detroit in the Thanksgiving games in years past, but remember our first win against them was without stafford or megatron. From Sunday to Thursday will determine if we hit our virtual second BYE at 7-4, 4-6, or 6-5. That's a huge swing, lets get the offense cranking boys!
