Someone had to start it.

+ Teddy Bridgewater. I figured he had to be here, because tonight's commentators spent half the game talking about him.
+Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb. Not big statistical nights, but they got a quick early lead airing it out.
+Peppers with the pick and run back for the touchdown. This was huge. The Vikings weren't showing anything on offense, but out offense had stagnated. For a while it felt like the Packers were just letting them hang around. Peppers ended that.
+Lacy with his best game of the year. Ran hard. 100+ and two scores. That was the Eddie Lacy we saw last year.
+Davante Adams with his first touchdown catch. He's going to be real, real good. Can't wait to see those 4 receiver sets with Nelson, Cobb, Adams and Boykin once JB gets healthy.
+Jeff Janis got some playing time in the 4th quarter. He intrigues me.
+It's only the Vikings, but lots of good QB pressure tonight. 6 sacks, including 2 by Nick Perry. Matthews didn't sack anybody, but he got some real good pressure early. Still stuck on one sack, though.
+Tim Masthay, 6 punts and a 50.7 yard average! Ginger Wolverine didn't get to kick at all last week, but he kicked the hell out of the ball all night. Vikings had crap field position all night.
- I'm not sure what happened with the offense. At 14-0, they just couldn't move the ball. 5 3 and outs in the first half. Against a lesser opponent, that could have been trouble. Then again, against another team, the offense might not have let up. But I'd like to see them keep playing hard on offense until the other team was put away.
Other than that, hard to really find a lot to nitpick. The defense played a good game against a depleted Vikings offense. Bridgewater might have made it a little closer, but it wouldn't have ultimately mattered.
Nice long break to rest up some nagging injuries. Clay can get healthy. Waiting to see how bad Datone Jones' ankle is injured, and hoping he's ok.
Peterson might of kept it closer than Teddy's two step .
Thought Guion had a really nice game.
Tramon has become a pretty physical, sure tackler the past couple of years.
Shields was never tested - great game.
TD congratulations instead of celebrations!

You know, ya, he really did. And it was great to see.
I realize this was the Vikings we were playing, so I'm going to temper my enthusiasm just a bit. But if he can provide this kind of effort on a consistent basis, that will be absolutely huge.
He doesn't need to rush the passer. We have enough edge rushers that can do that. Let him focus on clogging up the running lanes. If he can do that on a consistent basis, that's a win for the Packers with Raji being out for the season. Anything he can do to collapse the pocket in on opposing quarterbacks will be a bonus.
+ Winter Olympics 2022 might be in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium, other countries have inferior potassium.
- Winter Olympics 2022 might be in China.
- Kinda boring having a bye week and an exhibition against amateurs. Looking forward to NFL competition in the future.
