After bye week this looks like a completely different team.. Although we lost to Detroit we completely dominated the game and just had an unfortunate collapse in the last 5 minutes. And last night was as good a performance I have seen since the Carolina game at home on Sunday night a year ago.. Maybe could even date back to some of the games from the 2011 season.. That was a dominant performance.. Hopefully we can keep this thing rolling!

If PRob and White continue playing with confidence we will be hard to beat. PRob was absolute shutdown last night and obviously White showed out.

The offensive line played considerably better. I'm still not sold that it was them entirely, Green Bay did not look sharp on defense last night. Couple of goofy decisions by Mcarthy really helped the Saints out also. I knew when we went into the half tied up we were going to win that game, there was no momentum by GB coming out in the 2nd half.

All-in-all this was a great confidence booster. GB is a good team, and we are going to have to win against a handful of good teams from here on out.

If we beat Carolina we've turned the corner IMO.

But it doesn't get easy even if so…

@ Carolina
San Francisco
Cincinnati
Baltimore
@ Pittsburgh
Carolina

those are all playoff caliber teams (except Carolina, but they seem to have our number). If we lose to Carolina twice they obviously win the South again.

You should wait for two data points in order to make a trending observation like that.

Turning the corner needs to be Thursday. This was another expected win at home under big spotlight. Winning on Thursday will prove we are ready to make the long run at this.

If we can get a consistent pass rush, effectively run the ball, and get turnovers this is a very dangerous team

Turning the corner to me is winning this winnable game on the road against a division rival on a short week. If they can beat Carolina and play solid, mostly mistake-free football then I'll think they've turned the corner.

don't know yet. I want to see how payton handles the backfield in the next few weeks before I get excited, but hopefully he understands what was obvious to anyone with half a brain who watched last night


our defense makes plays when the other team feels like they need to score on every drive, and they will need to score on every drive if we bruise with ingram and set up the play action over the top, with graham opening up the intermediate throws
