My take:
- Our Oline looks much improved.
- Sutton got a heck of alot of carries and I think Mike McCarthy likes what he sees; I think he will use sutton a bit more these next 3 games and if he looks good he will keep him as one of our players (good for him - I was impressed also by his speed and quickness to find the holes).
- Rodgers played well; read the coverage and the line.
- Flynn did ... alright. Decent for a 2nd stringer. Brohm on the other hand did better at handing the ball off to lumpkin or sutton then throwing the ball. I think he did have a nice pass to nelson that was called back thou.
- Like I said a few months ago. The best person we picked up this offseason was Capers. And this was clearly shown in how our D performed and the number of blitzing, pressures, sacks, INT.
- Bishop gets my nod for MVP Dman. Glad he stepped up because I dont know how barnett's knee is and hawk has been inconsistant.
Bishop had 1 int and a sack and was in on a few blitzes.
- Finley got some passes and wasnt so raw. Last year he could barely catch the ball.
- Jones (my man) did well ... IMO we have 3 great receivers on our team. Makes it a nightmare to cover if they put all 3 in.
- Driver shows his stuff at the start by pulling away and grabbing a 50+ yard TD.
...
Overall impressions
Nice improved Oline (meaning no matter what package they had in they blocked well - penalties were an issue again thou).
Our new D under Dom ... this is going to be exciting to see this year. OLB blitzes, ILB blitzes, Safety Blitzes, Corner back Blitzes ...
Nice RB options

For Pete's sake, it's the Cleveland Browns! From what I'm reading on here you'd think we just beat the Patriots in the playoffs. The reality folks is that the Pack were not tested at all in this game. Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but this was a bum-of-the-month club matchup.
GB is easily in the weakest division in the NFL. Until Mike McCarthy shows me he can beat a quality team (and that leaves out the Browns, Vikings, Lions, and Bears) I'll withhold judgement.
That's not to say I'm not hopeful. GB is easily the best team in the NFC North, though all of the NFC North teams have weak coaches.
This season will either make or break Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy and I'm still betting on break, regardless of the talent in camp.
