I have a funny feeling that we are going to win...
1. 3 Indy turnovers
2. GBP rush for over 200 yards
3. Willis is lots of dinks and dunks for possession with one long TD on blown coverage
4. One either special teams or defensive TD
5. A big game for a real tight end Kraft

GB 20
IND 17

That stat line would surprise me. I expect 18/30 211 yards, 1 TD 3 INTs.

Wouldnt be surprised if Clifford takes over at some point.

What amazed me in the game was why Indy didn't play to defend the run from the get go. They shut it down in the second half. I expected more Justin Fields scrambles from Richardson.

GB gave up the yards rushing to Taylor but played the safeties deep and prevented Richardson launching the ball.

Matt really called a great game.

Jacobs broke so many tackles it was fun to watch.

Ironically the offense stopped shooting themselves in the foot with penalties but stopped moving the ball in the second half.

This game would have felt a whole lot more comfortable if Jacobs got the TD instead of fumbling at the goal line.

Still it's a win so I am pleased.

Colts had a lot of guys in the box even in that first half. One time I counted 9 and Packers still ran it and Jacobs still got dang good rush. I think he got 7-8 yards. I was like wow this gonna be long game for Colts lol

I would not want to be a Indianapolis Colts fan having to be extremely patient to see whether Richardson actually can be an NFL quarterback.

He was really marginal at best and on the second interception threw to a guy with two guys draped over him and missed a wide open guy easily within his field of vision. Their coaches had to be scratching their heads saying "What in the world is he looking at"

Tyler Dunne's observation to which I agree:

Matt LaFleur’s finest hour
This is exactly the type of game the Green Bay Packers lost too often with Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers running the show. When the MVP quarterback went down, optimism was effectively siphoned out of the locker room. Mike Daniels, the team’s nail-spitting defensive tackle, explained this effect in a Q&A last season. The Packers frankly were not built or coached to win a football game that didn’t funnel through its quarterback.

Defensively, they lacked the temperament and belief to carry the team to a win.
Offensively, the pass-first identity was too entrenched. Scott Tolzien or Brett Hundley couldn’t step in, hand the ball off and keep the ship afloat.
With Jordan Love (MCL) out and Malik Willis in, these Packers proved they can win at the line of scrimmage.

As much as the Packers tried to manufacture mystery into kickoff — refusing to rule Love out until Sunday — everyone involved surely knew what was coming: a Lombardi-like diet on offense. Willis signed 20 days ago. Exactly as the Colts planned, the Packers ran early and ran often. In the first quarter alone, they rushed for 164 yards, the most since the Tim Tebow-led Denver Broncos went for 167 in 2011. By halftime, that total was up to 237. In all, LaFleur ran the ball on 53 of 67 snaps. Free-agent signing Josh Jacobs, a wise pivot, was the primary hammer with 151 yards on 32 carries.

Defensively, the Packers intercepted Anthony Richardson three times.

Green Bay couldn’t have asked for more from Willis, who went 10 of 12 for 122 yards, one TD and supplied perhaps the most entertaining three-yard gain this century. On third and 10, center Josh Myers vomited all over the football a split-second before snapping. Unable to throw, Willis side-stepped the rush and took off.

“I asked Malik why he didn’t throw the ball on that third down, and he told me Josh threw up on the ball. I was like, ‘That’s the first time I ever heard that,’” LaFleur said.

“The official came over to me, and said, ‘We saw your center throwing up on the ball, do you want us to take him out next time?’ I said, ‘Absolutely, please do that,’ because you’re talking about a critical situation, and it’s third down, and I’ve never had to throw with vomit on the football. Malik probably didn’t appreciate that.”

Give the head coach props for getting Willis up to speed and for devising a gameplan that’d work. In the same situation, countless quarterbacks past fail in disastrous fashion. Not only did the ex-Titan function — he made plays when necessary.

He didn’t turn the ball over once and connected with Romeo Doubs on a 39-yarder.
“I’m more blessed than anything,” Willis said. “I’m just grateful for God to give me another opportunity. Somewhere different. Clean slate. Just giving me the opportunity to be around guys who helped me get going the past three weeks to learn as much as I can. Guys in that locker room who are behind you, whoever’s starting and continuing to have that confidence in you. It builds. It helps you go out and be yourself.”

Mostly? LaFleur deserves praise for his team’s overall compete level. Effort is not something a coach can conjure with one rousing speech the week of a game. It takes time. The way LaFleur has built the Packers — year to year, Rodgers to Love — prepared them to win this kind of game. Youth helps. This has been the youngest team in the NFL since moving on from Rodgers. You don’t know what you don’t know. He’s gotten a group of 22-, 23- and 24-year-olds to genuinely believe they can make the playoffs after starting 3-6 one year and win a game with Malik Willis the next.


Go Packers!!!!

I am not sure what PFF or any other company's grades will be but the OL deserves an "A" in run blocking.

They had 164 yards in the first quarter. I was a little irritated that they "only" had 237 at halftime. When I realized that is a solid 73 yards I wasn't upset That would be a very decent 292 over an entire game. While it melted away in the second half the goal for MLF was the milk the clock more than it was to go for the home run.

Green Bay couldn’t have asked for more from Willis, who went 10 of 12 for 122 yards

He was actually 12 for 14. When I looked at the receivers receptions vs targets I see only one receiver who didn't catche verything thrown to him. I am assuming one of the passes was simply thrown away. I heard a podcaster say it's like the game after Favre's dad passed away. People say how great of a game he had. When I looked at it a second time, Brett was chucking the ball and the receivers played out of their minds catching everything even when they came back for short passes and out jumped the DB. (Romeo Doubs anyone?)
