Because Hurts is rusty after missing 3 weeks. But it was the first game where they didnt get embarassed by a NFC contending team like they did in week 1 and vs the lions and vikings twice.

Funny when The Packers D shuts down an offense, it's because the other team had been dealing with injuries and were Rusty.
Now when. The Packers get shut down, its all about how terrible they are, no excuses for who is injured or who had just returned. From injury.

I sometimes forget Packer players have to become all-pro and play mistake free free fromm day 1..

Could it be that The Packers are just a year or 2 away?

Nah....it's just me being that rah rah guy who really enjoys watching Packer football, and.can except the disapointment of not winning The SB , like the other 31 teams fan bases who don't win.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Also, Saquon and the run game did whatever it felt like against this magical defense so there was no need to throw on them.

But nah, that makes too much sense.

Yes, Hurts was rusty and post-concussed, but the Packers mixed up defensive looks albeit ending up in alot of 2 high.

When a team has corner, not just the safeties. occasionally dropping into the two deep zone, the QB has to read If it is man or zone and if zone, which of the safties/corners are going to be deep, which takes time, especially when you are rusty/concussed.

Further, with Brown, when the defense plays a two high look, there could have been in man with a LB underneath, further adding variation to coverage schemes.

The use of motion helps a QB determine which coverage is likely.

It was a very good game plan....4 turnover, and forfeiture on downs, giving up 22 points, is exceptional. The Jets apparently were impressed as well.

Go Packers!!!!

I don't agree with the Jalen Hurts rusty talk. He did what was asked of him. He wasn't off target. He wasn't underthrowing passes. He wasn't overthrowing passes. He looked pretty sharp. And to be honest, that annoyed me. I figured three weeks off the guy wouldn't be more accurate than our QB who has played game after game after game, etc.

My answer in shout to the question how were the Packers able to do so well against the Eagles passing attack was as follows:

Cover 2, keep a CB and Safety over top of both WRs... and Hurts (like Rodgers) is overly careful and doesn't like any risk in his throws.

So Hurts didn't take many, if any risks or tight windows and wasn't throwing into Cover 2, which I think helped the Packers. Where a more aggressive QB could of hit the WRs more often down the field, taking some risks, but also potential get an INT.

Hurts like playing low risk, especially when they're winning and have the lead. So not because he was rusty, or injured, but because he plays overly cautious and Packers were taking advantage of that.
