Coach McCarthy's Monday press conference is up. He wasn't as hard on the refs as I would have hoped, but coaches cant say too much or they get fined.

Q.On the TD to Jones that was called back, Tauscher was OK with Favre behind him, but Favre moved past him and the flag came out. Is that the right call there?
A. In my view, I thought Tauscher was fine, and once again it was a three-man rush. I disagree with the call, but that's football. Sometimes they go your way, sometimes they don't. And that goes back to the adversity question. You have to overcome those types of situations, whether it's the defense making a big play, a penalty that you think should have went the other way, that's all part of the game. And I was proud that our football team continued to battle and find a way to win that game.

He re-enforces the point I made yesterday, that even with all the setbacks they won the game, and that is something they can hang their hat on.

According to McCarthy the running back situation is still/back up in the air, that no deceisions have been made in that department.

Possible the worst news was that Franks might be out for up to 4 weeks with a knee. Of course these things are always touch and go, but that is the early prognosis.
