We weren't so random today, the offense was consistently good, the pass defense was consistently bad but the pass rush worked so we weren't very exposed.
The Vikes always slide, when they were 5-0 I said I didn't care about them and here we are.
The Glass Half Full:
- A. Rodgers: Who else? He dominated the game, he is starting to trust his receivers throwing even when they are covered, he is not scrambling per-se but scrambling to get first downs or touchdowns, he is playing like the MVP he was and the timing for his recovery, if you ask me, is just perfect.
- J. Nelson: Cover me not, maybe. Jordy was perfect today, his routes should be used as film for college receivers wanting to play at the NFL. We didn't even pushed what he could do today and that's something for the Lions to think about.
- N. Perry: Our new defensive weapon: the cyborg! With a robotic arm or something like that he was powerful and he played a solid game, he even made two sacks almost alone. It's good to have you back.
- C. Matthews: Not stellar but solid and he made a very very big play, with Matthews and Perry on the rise our defense is certainly going to improve, our secondary is a calamity so we need the front 7 to shine.
- D. Bakthiari: A recurrent figure, at this point watching him play is becoming even educational, Rodgers doesn't even look to the left when the play is extended, he just knows nobody is coming from that side.
- G. Allison: The forgotten guy, the unknown, nobody, he is just doing what he can do, run beautiful routes and catch the ball, he is not fast but he is very neat, when Adams and Jordy have a good day he is the third option we need to make our offense unstoppable.
The Glass Half Empty:
- H.H. Clinton Dix: Again a total non-factor in coverage but not only that, he is often playing for the INT and not for the tackle or to defend the pass, this is a very bad sign, his collision with Rollins was just a shame of a play he was only looking for the ball even when he took a horrible angle to the play. Don't label me a hater, he is going to be very good but he needs coaching.
- D. Randall: The phantom cover guy, he is almost invisible when covering a WR, even if he is there the passes are completed and he is often nowhere.
- B. Bulaga: Not a good game for Bulaga, he allowed a lot of pressure from his side, maybe Bakthiari is playing so well that we are asking him to do too much but he was weakish today.
- L. Taylor: I can pull him out of this list if some of his plays were specifically designed for him to block no one, but oh boy what were he doing in several plays? Just standing there... maybe he is on a secret training program were his assignment is to just watch David Bakthiari do his job.
- C. Michael: We didn't need a second edition of James Starks but we got one, at this point we can all understand why he is not in the Hawks.
Next: Playoffs start next week for the Packers, we know what happened the last time that was the case... 😁
