Going into this game, teams with a -3 turnover differential were 0-13

Since 2000, the win rate with a -3 differential are 82-753-2 (9.8% win rate)

Packers did it today.

However, Cowboys did it to Pittsburgh 2 weeks ago, Pittsburgh’s lone turnover came on their lateral play to end the game

Looks like the Texans will be missing 5 starters on defense, which based on PFF grades, the players they're missing are mostly graded high at stopping the run.

So the Packers offense should be able to run on their defense.

Hopefully the Packers don't get too pass happy, as the Texans can have one hell of a pass rush.

And Packers then proceed to pass the ball 64.3% of the time, when their average the last three games with Love back is under 57%.

And season long (probably due to their run heavy games with Willis at QB), the Packers season pass to run ratio was 48.7%.

We got away with one there…

For the Packers, there was a plethora of bonehead decisions by the players
- Poor decision making an execution by Love on numerous occasions
- Penalties
- A drop here and there
- Moronic decisions and punt returns

I can't believe they are coached to do those things so I will put blame squarely on the players.

But the biggest bonehead decision was made by the Texan coaches... to throw the ball on third and 11, in the final two minutes
The decision was a poor one for a number of reasons. The route called wouldn't even have gotten the first down shouldn't have been completed. Further the player was heading out of bounds which would've stopped the clock making it fourth and two. In either case, completion or in completion, the Packers were able to maintain one time out going into the drive with 1:44 after the kickoff.
Accordingly, the Packers could use the middle of the field but especially so since they had a timeout in their pocket making it much more difficult for the Texan defense.

Go Packers!!!!

Get that old school ruler out with the brass edge on the wooden mainframe.
That sucker will hurt. Don't break any fingers, Martha.

Sometimes you have to win ugly.
GB had more first downs.
3rd down conversions.
Total yards.
Total Yards per play.
Passing yards.
Completions.
Passing Yards per play.
Stacked Houston more.
Red zone conversions.

The running game was close enough. While the Texans had 142 rushing yards it took them 33 attempts to get it. Packers had only 82 yards on 20 attempts. One of the big play staples for the Packers is the WR sweeps. 3 attempts for -5 yards. Even with a depleted defense it wasn't working for GB. Best to move on. Teams are scouting it so they will have to shelve it for now.

The defense was dominate.
The "Great" Stroud only had 86 yards passing. 86!
His QB rating is over 100. Today- 58.8! We talk about MLF being in his bag dialing up plays for the offense. Today it was Hafley's schemes that harassed Stroud all day long.

The Packers dominated so much that they tried to give the game away. The offense gave up 16 points and yet the Packers STILL won. Without those mistakes they would have won by 30. At least 20.

I am very pleased and proud of the effort today.

I can't believe we held a team under 100 yards PASSING. I can't even freaking do that in Madden 25.

But yeah, shut down the passing game, even if we let you run a ton.

Pretty incredible to do that to a up and coming QB like Stroud.

Eye-popping stat: With starting CB Kamari Lassiter out, D'Angelo Ross replaced him and allowed a passer rating of 158.3 when targeted for 95 yards and a touchdown. Yes, that's a perfect passer rating.


ESPN 

Not all of this is on Ross. When Love was on, he had some outstanding passes.

Martha, you volunteered your services as a K earlier this year. With a new K that's no longer a need. Perhaps you could line up as the punt returner? Don't even need to catch the ball, just call for a fair catch and let it go everytime.
