Packers knot score at 20
It only resulted in a tying field goal and not a go-ahead touchdown, but the bizarre interception-fumble play was a huge break for the Packers.
Brett Favre broke a couple of tackles in the backfield before making a ridiculously poor decision by heaving a pass into traffic. R.W. McQuarters intercepted it, but Ryan Grant stripped him during the return and Packers tackle Mark Tauscher fell on the ball. That set up Mason Crosby's 37-yard field goal, which tied the score at 20 with 11:46 to play in regulation, instead of a huge swing in momentum for the visitors.
That play also is Grant's biggest contribution today. Throw out his 13-yard run, and he only has 14 yards on 11 carries.

If the Packers are going to win, SOMEONE on the defense is going to HAVE to make a play.

P.S. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman are awful.

It doesn't help matters that Plexico Burris is playing about 3 miles above his head. That guy AIN'T this good.

Win or lose, McCarthy has got to answer some questions to answer about tonight's defensive scheme.
It's been obvious to even the layman that the "press corners" are not working. Yet we still persist in it.
I hope the Press-Gazette guys demand the answers.
