+/- Falcon game

+The defense made it to the bye!  

- The offense made me sleepy.

Unreal:

@BenFennell_NFL: 

Rodgers to RB/TEs: 20/20 241yds 4 TDs

Well played, LaFleur

+ Solid win without several key starters before bye week.

- Aaron Jones took a lot of big hits

+

Jamaal Williams had 8 catches for 95 yards. Often underrated and underappreciated.

MLF Brilliant gameplan executed well by the team.

AR Playing like an MVP

Nice coming out party for Big Bob

Defense made just enough plays when needed.

-

Injuries. Thankfully the bye is here for them to get healthy.

+ MiLF, AR, Bobby, Jonesie, dancin' Jamaal, Jaire, Z, DB depth, and on and on...

None of the injuries appear to be serious. 

Nice to see Tonyan come into his own.

Jamaal Williams work on his game and transforming his body is paying off. He’s a nice change of pace after Aaron Jones. Nice route running and good hands tonight  

O-line is playing really well so far. Left side is studly with Bahk and Jenkins....and the right side is shockingly good considering all of the uncertainty. Stenovich and Butkus are doing some excellent coaching. 

Rodgers is clicking. Elite !!

MLF is making a name for himself. Very impressive start to his reign. 

Thought the Atlanta offense was supposed to be good ? Jaire and DB’s shut down Calvin Ridley. Zero catches 

Favorite game stat: George Kittle has never scored more than one TD in an NFL game.

Funyums scored three tonight.

4 STRAIGHT GAMES ZERO TURNOVERS!!

R U EFFING KIDDING ME!?!?!?

Paws

• First and foremost, MLF is awesome.
• 16 points allowed.  
• Run defense.  Don’t know what different was this week, but I love it.
• Big BAD Bobby T.   Coming out party.
• Bye week to heal up.

Get That Fixed

• Injuries keep piling on.
• I was super high on Jackson, he’s just not good.

I don’t feel like we are really talented on offense, yet I feel like we can’t be stopped.   

Extend MLF now.

Amos getting his hand on the ball in the end zone on4th down, saved a TD which would've made it a one score game

First half, 3rd and long for Packers just into Falcons territory; Falcons blitz up the middle and Luca Patrick get enough of a block on the blitzer which allow AR to complete the pass for a 1st down; Packers end up getting a TD on drive.

Tyler Lancaster made some nice tackles in the middle of the line for a "try hard" guy

Z'Darius is only pass rusher

--------------

Defense does not tackle well

Preston is invisible again

Play calling coming out of halftime was atrocious; 4 runs for -2 yard

Last AR pass on 3rd and short - why??? Why not run to keep clock running up by two TDs???

+ Jaire Alexander: Calvin Ridley had the same number of catches today as Fedya.

I watched Preston Smith a lot - The OL he was going against, practically every play he was having to deal with illegal hands to the face - no call.....ever. He was coming thru the line though -- I expect he is working his way back into game shape. I'm expecting some flash plays from Preston after the bye.

---- Allowing a 20 play drive from the 1 yard line?

+++ Only allowing a FG on said 20 play drive. That was actually funny. 

---- MVS not understanding how to make a back shoulder catch

+++ MVS picking up 3 first critical downs

+++ Jamal Williams -- really nice relief for Jones - 8 catches 95 yards

+Enjoyable to watch Rodgers work his quick trigger in LaFleur's O.

- Run game feast or famine

+Tonyan"s hat trick earns him this week's MVP 

+Streaky D did enough, improving.

+Missed PAT not a factor and FG was icing on 4-0 cake.

-5 starters out and 2 more go down.

+Heal up over bye.

+McCarthy is gone

+Thompson is gone

-It took way to long to show them the door

4-0, against the spread.

Gambling is illegal at Bushwood....

+  At this point, the only better playcaller/qb combo in the league might be Andy and Mahomes. Saints, Rams, Seattle might be in that conversation, but what they got going in GB is pretty masterful right now. Long ago I learned to really appreciate AR's allergy to ints, in particular because the previous guy holds the record for most picks ever. In 2011, they were a juggernaut because they had great personnel. This is different. I'm really curious as to how MLF schemed those few games in 2019 without Adams, and how that compares to the past 4 games. The RB/TE scheming has become lethal. How long did it take Holmgren/Favre to be humming like this? It surely was not in the second year. When this offense creates their own rhythm, it's a thing of beauty to watch. What the offense lacks in blue chip tallant, the scheme is making up for in spades. 

+Seeing Julio go out reinjuring his hamstring has me thinking the Packers were smart to rest Davante.

-Tackling.  That Gurley TD had several lame attempts to tackle.  

-Not being able to punch it in from the 1 yard line.  At least the 2nd time we’ve seen that this season.

-Josh Jackson.  I’m ready to give up on this guy.

+Just about everything else!  4-0, baby!   I hate having the bye this early, but we certainly have some guys who are dinged up.  I’m hoping Deguara and Dillon can be used more as the season progresses.

---- on the 4th & goal play. Wasn't Dillon drafted to handle that chore?? Also....Double neg....1 of the few bad play calls MLF has dialed up. Unless that was on Rodgers?

+++ Not just 4-0.....4-0 in the conference too. That's really big.

I get what you’re saying, but not really a fair comparison.  AR is a seasoned vet, former MVP and incredibly smart/savvy, can read a defense at the line as good as anyone.  

Holmy inherited an inexperienced gunslinger that he first had to reel in before being in synch.

The Packers QB room has been blessed for nearly 30 years.

---- MVS not understanding how to make a back shoulder catch

That was ugly.   Beautiful ball that Lazard or Adams make look like an easy catch.

Assuming they could’ve played, sitting KC and DA was the right move, especially after a win.  Had they lost, the moves would’ve been second guessed. 

Glad it worked out.

Eye-popping NextGen Stat: What’s the definition of wide open? Try this: Jones had 12.9 yards of separation on his 6-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. That’s the second-most separation on a Packers touchdown catch over the past four seasons.

Ummm.......Wow.

The Packers joined the Seahawks as the only teams to score 30+ points in each of their first 4 games this season.

Each of the teams to do so in the past 10 years — 2011 Patriots, 2013 Broncos and 2018 Rams — finished 13-3, won their conference and advanced to the Super Bowl.

In case you forgot....Both the Packers & Seahawks are in the same conference. Somethings gotta give this year.....

That's a fair point. But I'd also factor in the notion- mostly media driven- that a seasoned, arrogant, all about himself shit of a teammate wasn't expected to coexist with MLF, let alone flourish. I think a stubborn vet qb could be equally difficult to fit a new system as a young guy without experience, if not for wholly different reasons.

His name is Lucas.

He lives on the second floor.

Offensive line got whipped badly on the fourth down play and I don't think Dillon would have made any difference. That one's on Shepherd and he's got to score when it's there.

+ great overall win. AR is having fun again.

+ looks like AR’s knee is ok after that crazy way he fell...that was scary for a moment.

+ During the MM era, this would have been a loss. 
- tackling on several plays was horrible.

+++ bye week ahead and healing time for all!!!

Luca sleeps with the fishes, Lucas knocks you on your arse.   

+ This team is well coached MLF is doing a fantastic job.  A good win in a game they had to get before the bye

AR is having fun and my god is he freaking good.  Even with having to throw to RBs a lot and being far down the depth chart at WR he was still money.

I thought overall they contained the run better than they have been. Gurley is still a pretty good back

4-0 in the division and 4-0 in the NFC.  Its early but that is very important 

- Injuries.  It seemed like a Packer was hurt every 5 minutes in the second half

I just don't understand how Atlanta isn't better.  I mean their QB has thrown so many touchdowns this year to first round picks.  AR has thrown only one TD to a first round pick this year.

Yep Michigan, that's the play!!!  Thanks!

The OL really has been the key to the entire thing. Rodgers has time, they’re running the ball effectively, and they’re making teams pay for committing too much to stop one thing. MLF’s counter moves have teams just dancing from one foot to the other. 

And the best part is the OL is deep. Atlanta busted through a few more times last night than the previous weeks, but Rodgers is still adept at getting away and minimizing contact. 

Tonyan’s emergence just gives MLF another tool in the box. The TE position is in great shape, and will be a nice counter they haven’t had in a while. 

Defense really needs to learn how to tackle. Some embarrassing efforts out there the last 2 weeks. Injuries really stacking up. Would like to see the secondary start making plays- they’ve been close, but bumbling away a pick is a potential game changing play. Tonight- they had one right there... blew it, turns into a catch, Atlanta scores on the drive. Against a playoff caliber team that could be a back breaking momentum play.

In his defense, his right arm was grabbed and held by the defender. I had the same reaction until they showed the slow motion replay- the defender had the other arm.
