We knocked out one QB and would probably have done so with the back up if it was anyone but Vick. D looked good, despite it all. LOVED to see all the pressure we generated.

Yes, that was probably the single most encouraging thing about this game. Matthews is obviously our big time pass rusher, but the pressure came from everywhere and not with a huge amount of blitzing. The sack by Raji was my favorite.

That was the worst game I've seen Aaron Rodgers play at least since Tampa Bay last year. It was below par for an NFL QB. Some misfires early in the game and two horrible interceptions, plus he absolutely failed to make a play down the stretch even when he had decent protection.

thank you for posting this before i had to. Rodgers looked a lot like he did early last season and I really hope he doesn't continue it past this week.

I wonder how much of Aaron's performance was on off day, and how much of it resulted from the shaky play up-front early in the game.

It looked like he just could not find any rhythm out there today.

"Greg C." wrote:

Yeah, the early pressure threw him off, but the line did settle down as the game went on, and Rodgers failed to take advantage of the extra time he had back there. It was a very uncharacteristic performance by him. I expect him to bounce back strong. As Cheesey said, it's encouraging that the Packers can win (on the road against a pretty good team, I might add) even when Rodgers has a rare off day.

We should probably keep a littler perspective in that we faced on O-line that had not played a snap together in the pre-season, and lost it's starting C in the game.

The front seven was good today, but this isn't exactly a heavyweight O-line we faced today.

Greg,

Have you been using my shampoo? Because it is for guys who want thicker looking hair. Have you? Have You?

It was a freaking win. He did what he had to do, and the first INT was not his fault.

1-0 on the road.

Nuff Said.

It was precisely the fact that Vick was gashing the Packers off the edge that made me so surprised Reid called for a quarterback sneak on 4th down. I expected him to try something like play action or a draw, with Vick dropping back, faking a pass, and then making a dash for it off the edge. Running him into the teeth of the Packers' defensive line made no sense to me.

I am glad we won, but unhappy with many aspects of our team. I'm not being a prick about it, but that performance was "off", imo.

I'm still not sure I buy the "slipped" explanation for that second interception. Frankly, it looked like too good a pass. It's like he was doing that "hit the basket" trick, and was dead on ... and then whatever he was aiming at disappeared down a wormhole and the other team's guy appeared.

I mean, as a Packer fan, we've seen no shortage of bonehead interceptions over the deep middle over the years. But this pass didn't have the same feel.

I think "wormhole" is at least as good an explanation as "slipped". And I'm sticking by it, no matter what Ari Fleischer or Ben Bernanke might say.

Oh, and to be perfectly fair, I think Daryn Colledge had a reasonably good game.

Excellent point.

Although I think their OC Marty Morneweg calls plays. I, too, was expecting Vick to roll out and try to use his speed to his advantage on the edges.

I thought Nelson did a very good job on KR. If he could break one more tackles on those he might of taken them to the house.

I don't like a starting DB back there on PR though.

Zero2Cool (12h) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (15h) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
