Lot of positives from this game. Main one being Jordan Love knocked off a lot of rust and came out no worse for the wear.

Lot of negatives too. Kicker is ass. OL got bullied in run game. DL couldn't get consistent pressure. CB2 and CB4 just aren't good enough to cover guys like Jefferson and Addison.

is ass

an object of mild annoyance; irritatingly bothersome
accordingly, I don't think "is ass" is quite strong enough.
3. Re CBs, no, our guys aren't great, in fact they are not very good, but with that pass rush, Herb Adderley and Deion Sanders would not have been good enough.

Go Packers!!!!

I just got home. I've been going to game for more than 20 years the first half was probably the worst I've ever seen and I went to a handful of games in the 70 and 80s. F for everyone offense, defense, special teams and coaching staff. Horrendous.

While the second half was better the Vickie's were more interested in milking the clock. As soon as the Packers got close the FG more or less put the game out of reach.

Even so the sack fumble and Cooper recovering it had the crowd in a frenzy. I don't think I have ever heard them THAT loud. Probably 20-25% louder than what they typically are when they try to drown out the offensive team. It was like standing on the tarmac when a jet was taking off. I was impressed. I wish we could have that kind of noise more often when the Packers are on defense. Then again I wish the Packers defense earned that kind of noise more often.
Nite all.

What happened to an aggressive pass rush? There was absolutely no rush today aside from a couple blitzes where guys were unblocked. It’s like they were trying to contain Darnold so he wouldn’t run. News flash: Darnold is not a running QB. The guy had all day back there. This is probably the #1 reason the Packers lost.

Also- Aaron Jones killed us, as I suspected. Very annoying.

Oh, and yeah we need a kicker. 37 yarders should be automatic. Terrible.

Aaron Jones didn't score a point and wasn't that much of a factor. He amassed a good chunk of total yards, but he was less of an impact that I figured he'd be.

Packers held old friend Aaron Jones to 1 yard or less on 8 of his 22 carries Sunday.

Z2C, you have brought to mind an interesting statistic. I have long argued that 'average' should not be used as the go to statistic when looking at a running back. Rather median should be used.

If a runner gets the following sequence 1 yard, 2 yards, 12 yards, 1 yard, 3 yards, 1 yards, 20 yards: that is a 5 yard average. However to me, this series of numbers would indicate an ineffective run game. Herein the median would be 2.5 yards

However, if the series was 5,4,1,5,6,4,8 and 7yards, it is still a 5 yard average but it is much more drive sustaining and better run game, as the median is 5.5 yards

Go Packers!!!!

beast (7h) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (16h) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (17h) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, I assume you were among the Packer fans that got the "Go Pack Go!" chant going in the first quarter. Very appreciated!

jdlax (16-Dec) : We are doing the thing out west my friends

beast (16-Dec) : Damn, should have picked the Buccaneers over Chargers

beast (15-Dec) : Note: DuBose was just going all out for questionable location ball, probably never saw the defender. Bad idea to throw it there.

beast (15-Dec) : Yeah, DuBose head went down and he nailed the defender with the top of his helmet, full head, neck, spine potential injury there

Mucky Tundra (15-Dec) : Grant DuBose carted off after taking a hard hit

Mucky Tundra (15-Dec) : I believe Saleh is still helping out. Whether or not he's in GB or how active he is, I cannot say

Martha Careful (15-Dec) : Is Robert Saleh still helping out the Packers? Is he in GB?
