Bengals Pos / Neg

Very good analysis.

I'd add, the offense featuring Jordy, Adams, Bennett, Kendricks, Cobb (when healthy), and Montgomery is really slow.

Heck Geronimo is not fast and he looks downright dynamic compared to the rest.

Also, Andy Dalton is not very good.

Martinez did bounce back too from his idiotic mistakes, made some nice tackles in the second half.

I don't think Jordy is slow, or Adams.

+++++++ Jordy Nelson

+ Rodgers getting the 12-men and the offsides calls

- Defense letting them get how many first downs on the 2d half FG drive?

- Bulaga getting reinjured

+ No 20-page thread on whether MM should have gone for two.

Jones made some big plays and big mistakes, that one touchdown was not on 50, it was on 27.

King did fine, I liked his presence.

Brooks made a play set up by 51.   Other than that, he really was absent.

Did Dial play?

The team recovered on the hottest day ever at Lambeau and won the ****ing game.  With HUGE guys missing from the regular team.  

12 is still figuring things out with the cobbled OL.

80 has been a bust.

Nice to see Kendricks show.

Monty is feast or famine.  At times he looks like a bull and then others he looks timid.  Not sure what to make of it yet.

I believe the time all the backups are getting will help the club in the long run.

Quick rest, get better, and F the BARES!

+++++

King gave up some plays but dude has talent.  

Jones looked really good.  More of that guy Dom. 

Jordy was Jordy - clutch 

Mase- you want to ice him and he'll just kick it down the middle 

Brooks with several pressures 

------

Davis returns or lack thereof 

Injuries and banged up OL 

Milwaukee crowd shennanigans  

catts showing up to gloat only to get beeotched 

Jones made some big plays and big mistakes, that one touchdown was not on 50, it was on 27.

Disagree on this. Martinez was closer, Jones tried to go around him to get to the wide open back....

Without Cook, would we be better off  getting more speed on the field by not using so much 2 TEs. ? 

++++++

Martinez was good against the run.

Jones making some solid tackles

Geronimo

Aaron moving around and running for 1st downs

Detoilet lost 

----------

Brewers lost

1st qtr. D

I only got 7 right so far in the I2H Pool

Then 2 touchdowns.   I was referring to the slant.

The wide open flare to the RB was man to man with 27 on the coverage and it didn't get passed off at all.

But both of these cases were in the 1st half.   I think the important factor is that it got fixed.

I love the kid and want to see more!

+ the opponent was the bungles

- they will not get any easier from here

Mike, let's bring the urgency from kickoff Thursday night

+Win

+Liked Romo as an announcer.  His insight was great, was able to call most of the plays ahead of time and didn't talk too much.

-sacks

Ok, can someone explaine to me why are the Packers are tied for first in the NFC Central division and are third in the line up on NFL team chart???  3rd??  Really??

Very complicated answer but I'll try ..... "C" and "D" come before "G" 

Was 68 as bad as my kid says he was?  Thought 12 turned into a couple sacks, but I'm not sure.  

I love MM.  Super love.  But I do feel like 68 didn't get a lot of help, and that 80 was ****ing terrible when "blocking".

+1 on Romo.

Not in Green Bay

Save that answer for when Goldie asks later in the season.

Yes.

Ah.....stats look kinda different on the NFL site..... http://www.nfl.com/standings

Fedya, you can be an expert!  Instead of TCM, we can make

x4CPs

Sorry, just assumed they were in alphabetical order....until I realisized that Bears are 1-2 , not 2-1

Some really good individual efforts that have been mentioned. As collective units still lots to clean up and try to get healthy on a short week. 

Negative 

Geronimo stole Janis's glory, should have been him on that play.  

Positive

Janis would have scored.  It is known and MM will adjust accordingly. 

I learned a new word tonight.  About 5 minutes ago.  On this very forum.

Aploshed.

Aploshed

Aploshed.

i ****ing love it.  More importantly, I ****ing am it.

We agree on that. King and Jones took some lumps here and there, but that will pay off in the future.

Who got the sack that took the Bengals out of makeable FG range?

I believe it was Brooks.

Yes.

He showed how underpaid Bak is. 

Still, Murphy isn't as bad as McCray was when he had to play for Bulaga. 

When you consider that Rodgers did what he did in the 4th quarter without either starting tackle and a couple of bad drops, it makes it more remarkable.

I thought Jones...

+ Packers kept fighting and were able to pull out a victory. That's what winning teams do.

- Packers  looked out of sync on O and D was a step behind all 1st half.

+ Minimal injuries on short week, bring on da Bears

- Packers were losing the whole game, until they won it. 

+ J Jones is your MVP this week.

It was Jones. The Packer coaching staff better recognize that talent trumps experience in this case. Get him in there a lot, and the plays will keep coming. 

The Packers resembled the team we all think can be a Superb Owl contender in that second half. 20-3 and playmaking from #12. Defense needs to start playmaking too- where are the turnovers? 

Easy to get frustrated with so-so wins against teams that are proving to not be very good. But like most year with this team under Thompson and McCarthy, they are not as good now as they'll be in January. Wins like today are huge- they can't play like this in January- but they won't, so they're ok. 

Leroy Butler tweet after the game:

@leap36: Excuse me! (Clearing my throat),memo to @packers pls change JONES number from 27 to ,,36!!!!!!,

I don't get the whining about 88.  He often had NOwhere to go.  Bengals were constantly clogging lanes and filling gaps.  He had absolutely no help from his OL.  That's gonna happen when half your starting OL are out.

Bennett could turn into a problem if the he and offense don't find some way for him to produce.  He's an emotional guy and can either check out or become a distraction.  I think AR realizes the kind of weapon he can be and will make every effort to fix it.  But he's gotta stop the drops.

I hear ya about the blocking and I agree, DH.

2 things at play here as I see it: 1) He is getting extra scrutiny as a converted WR; and 2) It looked like he was hesitating a little more today at the top of the hole, more so than the previous 2 games. I don't think either is his fault.

Packers came out flat in the trenches today. I'd call it a hangover from the Atlanta beatdown. The outlet guy always gets the blame for that.

+

Geronimo!

AR12 gets 1st OT victory

Vogel is a big difference maker this year!

Mace=money!

Jones & King!

Jordy

-

Piss-poor effort in 1st half.

Very poor tackling during Bengal's returns.

Poor tackling on the D, as well.  What is this, touch football?

Trevor Davis -- quite making 6 short tentative cuts in different directions!   Pick a direction and GO!

why not give the LT a little help from a tight end?

This was always going to be a tough game. Missing seven starters against a team on 10 days rest. 

I still don't know why Dom has to pull guys like Jones off the bench. Maybe he feels like they're not ready to play his intricate schemes. All Josh Jones did is come off the bench and lead the team in tackles, had two sacks, and three tackles for a loss. 

GB D did a GREAT job in the 2nd half. Limited TOP. Got off the field on 3rd down. That 2nd half did wonders for Thursday night.
