Jarret Bush played a great game :thumbright:

I have been one of his biggest haters and he played terrific tonight on special teams and on D when our back ups came in.

On a serious note it really ticked me off to watch the postgame show on ESPN with Trent Dilfer. Dilfer did a phenomenal job of fielding questions, imo, but all of the questions were about the Cowboys. I honestly think two questions were about the Packers while 30 minutes of the postgame was about the Cowboys and how bad they suck. I'm tired of ESPN covering 3 teams a year i.e. Patriots, Jets, and Cowboys.

Would love to hear input on that. But loved the game. Matthews INT and Collins scoring were great. A-Rodge played amazing football.

Last thing I have to say is O-line has improved so much and I know we don't like to have positive things go here too long 🙂 but wow Cliffy and Bulaga have played some terrific football. What has caused this though? Play calling or just individual improving as the season goes on? I'm pretty baffled at how quickly they've turned it around these last couple games.

Yeah Bush made two great plays. One was the recovery of that muffed punt.
The only negative was Nance didn't break his leg, so they won't be able to activate Starks.

im not afraid to admit this at all. As a matter of fact im HAPPY to say that Bush has had a very solid season so far. He might be the definition of being a late bloomer.

All good points, coltonja. Yes, the ESPN postgame was disappointing, but I could see it coming. As impressive as the Packers were, the Cowboys were shockingly bad. They looked absolutely hopeless, to the point where you had to wonder if they've simply quit. Collinsworth pointed out how that one DB (I think it was Jenkins) pulled up rather than trying to get in on the tackle of James Jones just before he crossed the goal line. And what really made the Cowboys look bad was how well Dez Bryant played. It looked like he was the only Cowboy player who really wanted to be on the field.

I think the biggest thing about this game is that Aaron Rodgers is back. This is how he played most of last year: good mobility, good decisions, and deadly accurate passes.

The O-line continues to be great with pass blocking. Bulaga had me worried after his first couple games, but he has now settled in and put together three very good games, and Clifton continues to turn back the clock. I give Chris Collinsworth credit for talking up Josh Sitton. He deserves it. And Wells too.

I didn't notice much difference in the play calling. They ran the ball more, but that's probably just because they could afford to, with the passing game being so dominant. They didn't run the ball great. And they still threw downfield a lot, which I know has been a sore point with people who don't like the play calling. I don't think they had any of those long pass plays on third and short, though, which has been my one quibble with the play calling this season, as I think they've done it too much.

Mostly, though, they just outplayed the Cowboys in every phase of the game. It was a good old-fashioned ass kicking.

For the record, ESPN covers four teams: the Cowboys, the Patriots, the Jets, and Brett Favre. Any time I am in the gym, I have to endure an hour and a half of Favre fellation from the mother ship. It gets nauseating fast. To hear ESPN talk, there is only one player in the NFL.

Totally off topic, did anyone else catch the interesting factoid that Ben Roethlisberger is the second-winningest active QB?

ESPN is obsessed with the cowboys. I quite enjoy it though, because Jerry Jones is an idiot. They will always suck. Trent Dilfer did say that the packers are among the best in the nfc no question. I only truly watched a whole interview with him last night, and I like him. He's a good analyst.

I agree about Dilfer - he's a much better analyst than QB. The Cowboys will get all the press this week because their ineptitude is bigger news than our solid play. We could have beaten any team in the NFL last night, but the Cowgirls could have lost to a lot of college teams...

No, didn't catch that. But like I've said, football is a team sport. Must be nice to have a SB ring when you can throw like this:

9      21      123      5.9      0      2      37      22.6

Back on topic, in defence of Bush, he got pushed into the starting lineup due to injuries. You can't hate a guy for that. If anything, hate the injury bug.

Last night showed why the coaches say over and over again that Bush is a solid ST player.

Watching Jarrett Bush at the end of the game last night, yes in mop up, Jarrett was looking a bit Woodson like attacking the line of scrimmage. Maybe the old man is rubbing off on Jarrett.

Zero2Cool (30m) : I guess 3 games. Whatever
Zero2Cool (44m) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.
Zero2Cool (51m) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.
Mucky Tundra (1h) : Kanata, seek help! lol
beast (3h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status
Zero2Cool (4h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha
TheKanataThrilla (4h) : That was terrible.
TheKanataThrilla (4h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.
beast (4h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
beast (4h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
beast (4h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
Zero2Cool (5h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (5h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
beast (6h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
wpr (8h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Mucky Tundra (15h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
beast (16h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
Zero2Cool (23h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
packerfanoutwest (23h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
