I dont get how Webb makes them more dangerous tonight.

Theres a reason he was a backup all season and even with Ponders struggles was never mentioned as a possible replacement, right? Am I missing something?

You're right. I was explaining that to people before, but what happens here is that GB had no preparation for this. Webb is athletic enough to be dangerous on the ground and it may relieve pressure from AP. You saw it on the first drive. The hope is Minnesota jumps out early so that even if GB adjusts...It's too late.

It makes them commit more to AD which was always they're best chance. Plus, he's a running qb so if they can just run all day it keeps the Rogers on the sidelines, and they could just win playing keepaway.

But what happens if Green Bay gets up by two touchdowns? Does Minnesota trust a QB who hasnt thrown a pass all year enough to generate quick scoring drives?

I can see how GB not being prepared for this is difficult to deal with, but is Minnesota ready for it as well? Is Webb starting something that Minnesota sort of had a feeling about a few days ago? It seems like this injury/info came out of nowhere, but to be honest I havent been following the injury report too closely this week.

Four rows from the bench.. NICE!!! Fab voice
 
Minnesota needs to put bith their backs on the field, and just run the ball every play, with the occasional crossing pattern or swing pass off play action.
 
Well I was wrong I thought Gresham would show up but he pulled his alter ego who sucks and shows up FAR too often. Dalton missed an open AJ for the lead but didn't even target his till mid 3rd Q. D bended but didn't break, however all in all crappy performance by the team and Marvin in a big spot....par for the course.
