This, WPR, is the reason that I started a new thread, like I wrote in the intro. There are wandering arguments that lead away from the original thought.

Zero, feel free to merge it if you so please.

Defense got off to a rough start (the first two drives), but locked and loaded after that.

The Falcons had the ball 7 times after that (not including the kneel down right before the half).

The first 5 drives (middle of the 2nd Qtr through beginning of the 4th Qtr) went for a combined TOTAL of 15 yards and all ended in punts, and the last two ended in interceptions.

There was a lot of bashing of Dom Capers in the GameDay Chat early in the game yesterday, including repeated calls for his being canned.

Seriously? Because the D got off to a slow start for the first 4 (1/2) games this year? Last year, the Packers ranked 2nd in scoring defense, 5th in the league in total defense, and 5th in pass defense.

In 2009, the Packers ranked 7th in scoring, 2nd in total defense, 5th in pass d, 1st against the run.

2008, the year before Capers arrived, the Packers ranked 22nd in scoring, 20th in total defense, 12th in pass, 26th against the run.

Seriously? Is Dom Capers a piece of crap we need to scrape off our shoes?

I do think it is kind of amusing to see good threads have four topics that could be four threads, and then we have four threads that should be one topic, even though we have a thread for it already. You just have to sit back and just laugh at it.

I didn't hear any Dom bashing.

Yes, Dom's the man. He made the half-time adjustments and the Falcons failed to adjust to Dom's adjustments.

So my question is, are we the '09 Saints? Are we now a 2nd half team? It seems both 🇲🇲 and Dom do better in the 2nd half.

*ahem*

For the record...I have been bashing our D all year but have never called for Capers' head. I still wubs him. And Kevin, dude. Chill. We all wubs you too.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

As for Capers, he's one of the best in the game. Whoever is bitching is a spoiled Packer fan that either forgot the 70's and 80's or never saw really bad Packer Football. 5-0, not much to complain about.

Goooosefrabba!

Go Brewers!

As for thoughts on the Falcons game, man, what a defensive adjustment. After letting them march through the field twice, everyone in the chat was ready to behead Capers (me included). Suddenly Capers went all Syrio Forel ("Not today") on our ass and completely shut them down.

My main takeaway so far this season: We aren't playing our best ball. Defense is struggling (against some good offenses, but struggling).

And we're 5-0.

Once we do start hitting our stride on O and D then nobody's going to stand a chance.

Does that need to be the 5th week of the season? Nope, just as long as we do it in time for the playoffs/SB.

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games
