"I felt like I didn't start out how I wanted to, obviously," said Manuel, whose first throw was intercepted and returned for a touchdown by cornerback Leodis McKelvin. "The biggest thing for me was just to show that I could fight back, move past it. Obviously, it's not going to be the last interception I throw in my career.".I'm not going to sit here and say I was rusty. I've got to be accountable."Shanahan spread the responsibility to the other 10 on offense as well."I don't critique players though the media," he said. "We didn't do the things offensively that we needed to do as a group."Regardless, Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy had no qualms about discussing the issues raised by a threat like Griffin on the heels of a match with Kaepernick."(Griffin is) a mobile quarterback that has the ability to stretch the defense," McCarthy said.
