Over and over this past season we heard that the Badgers' problem was simply that they had no identity. No one really explains what that means — though you can infer that it used to be run the ball and have a good defense (until they play the top spread teams at least). The Packers'...

If feels strange saying this, but Packers are a run heavy team and asking the QB to be a game manager and not make mistakes.

On defense, it depends on what pieces they have to work with, as they seem to be adjusting a bit depending on whom is healthy. But as the article says, inverted cover-2, and cover-3 daring teams to test Xavier McKinney.

The defense has their highs and lows, but it hasn't been a much different approach than what we've seen in recent seasons. They seem to be willing to give up the underneath and over the middle passes, but take away the big plays outside the numbers. If the pass rush were more effective, this approach wouldn't be so frustrating. I will say though, the upgrade at safety has made a big difference in defending the big plays - which has been long overdue.

For the first time in decades, our offense runs off of our RB Jacobs and i love it. One thing i said after Love came back was that Malik was suited for this offense more so than Love because he is a legit dual threat and adds to the running game. If Love were to get injured, i wouldnt be worried one bit.

With that said, Love is playing great football again and hopefully he doesnt make any boneheaded throws like earlier in the year.

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

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?

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.

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

buckeyepackfan (14-Dec) : SDSU Jackrabbits on now. Wonder if Tucker is watching?

beast (13-Dec) : It's going to be interesting to see if they do anything with Alexander, such as ask him to ask a pay cut

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : both Romeo Doubs and Evan Williams have cleared concussions protocol

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : LaFleur said Jaire Alexander will NOT play Sunday

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : LaFleur says he thinks LB Edgerrin Cooper will play this Sunday.

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : Made copy/paste super fun

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : CTRL and DEL weren't working consistently at all.

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : Amazon steps were annoying. I already tried it on multiple computers, did restart, updated G Hub, ...keys no work.

beast (13-Dec) : Turns out we simply needed to restart the computer, it had no physical keyboard issue

beast (13-Dec) : Demanding that I change the keyboard as they needed that key (h I think) and changed it out and the issue stayed.

beast (13-Dec) : I remember when I was the new hire and default tech guy for an office, one letter on a common use keyboard when out and the top person was

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : Thought I was going bonkers.

Zero2Cool (13-Dec) : I got a new keyboard and damn thing wasn't working half the time.

beast (13-Dec) : Beckham already was, for the Rams... rumored Beckham wanted to sign with the Packers but Packers didn't want to match his price
