On the the other side, the defense has now kept Tony Romo, Eli Manning (x2) and Pryor under 21 points, so forgive me if I'm not overly concerned about the mighty Matt Flynn or Seneca Wallace.

I wouldn't say you should be concerned. But the Packers can absolutely beat the Eagles with either Wallace or Flynn. The Eagles are just too mediocre to believe its a lock. Foles either has huge games or total duds, so if he duds it up the Packers will win. I also wouldn't consider holding Eli (not this year anyways) and Terrelle Pryor down as being a huge accomplishment. And actually the Giants could have won 35-0 over the Eagles but they kicked 5 FGs instead. They moved the ball easily, just couldn't convert anything.

Matt Flynn got cut yesterday (EJ Manuel is back). He's on waivers but I doubt anyone claims him (why would they?). If you put a gun to my head I guess I'd take Ponder, but its basically a choice of losing 24-7 or 24-10. Bigger point being the Vikings QB situation sucks.
