That one annoyed me too but the Packers got a couple borderline calls that went in their favor that kept drives alive so I consider it a wash. Note: I didn't say fair. Fair is getting the calls right the first time ;)

Man Peppers just isn't out there playing team football at all. That's absurd from somebody people claim is partly on the team for veteran leadership or whatever nonsense. He has no interest in playing the run or even containing the QB if there's a teammate closer to him, all he does is to full boar straight for the QB on every play he's in there. He's still big/strong/physical enough to pass rush without taking the path of least resistance every time and leaving huge gaping holes on his side of the field but he just doesn't seem to care what happens on defense as long as he gets a better shot at a sack.

I'll put HaHa in the glass full of the finest scotch the day he defends a pass, breaks a TD in the endzone or does something that is not just walking around and hoping the ball falls in his hands.
I think HaHa played a very good game, I think you are right about that but the INT was just bad Wentz more than good HaHa.

Haven't seen many people talking about Bakhtiari and Bulaga. Both of them have been so good this year. This has been as good or better tackle play than we even ever had with Clifton and Tauscher. Bakhtiari especially this season is just erasing everyone who lines up across from him and it's not like this is an easy qb/system to block for.

yep. Wasn't sure that Bakhtiari was going to be worth keeping. He's playing pretty well.

I decided to skip him this time because I saw the OL pushed back in too many plays. Rodgers did really nice in some of those plays evading the pressure or just throwing the ball away but the OL should stand a little longer, should be a little stronger.
Most of the pressures came from the center itself, Corey Linsley had -in my view- a poor game. Bakthiari and Taylor held better but were also pushed inside the pocket in too many plays.

Your post made me wonder if we could be a better team without Peppers and I think that can be the case. As you said Julius is just trying to get to the QB blindly in every single play, if the OL can toss him aside then he is out of the play. Too bad we don't have powerful OLs or DEs to try in his place.

If memory serves me correct we both thought he was slightly overpaid but would grow into his contract. But, he is easily playing up to his contract right now. And he played much of last year injured, sometimes when guys get the $$$ that is no longer necessary. Not Bak, he played injured for a couple of games a few games ago, seems he's fought through it. This is a special player.
