+Great run game
- 1 real WR, 1 sandlot WR who is learning, but boy can they block! In a passing league where being one dimensional will only go so far. WHAT BLOCKING! That WR corp is fucking horrible.
+BLARK!
many -'s here but one + we have an extra week to try and figure something out, this is not going to work in the playoffs. <period> that's all i have, i am spent.
Ugly win sure feels better than a pretty loss!
Only lead in the game but when it mattered!

At least you will see another SB win.

I was thinking the same thing. This season has shaved a couple of years off my life.
I have no idea how we’ve done it, but we’re 13-3. And I’ll take it!

Win and the first round bye.
Lucas Patrick and Jared Veldheer. Great relief job.
Aaron Jones might be their best offensive player.

Need to play a lot better or it's one and done in the playoffs.

- First round bye, possible HFA throughout
- Aaron Jones is legit one of the best 2-3 RBs in the NFL. They need to lean on him from here on out like the Bears leaned on Payton in the 70's
- Defense played balls out. Got gashed a bit in the first half, but did their jobs throughout.
- Lazard. He's a baller. He should be the #2 guy from here on out.
- I donated my 500th gallon of platelets today lifetime and when I showed up for my bi-weekly donation I was shown a plaque with my name on it they installed honoring that milestone. I'm very passionate about donating platelets (obviously) - they are used to help cancer patients and many other sick people in urgent need. If you are ever asked to help as you are a good candidate, please look into it. The most painful aspect of it is pulling the tape off my gorilla hairy arms at the end...

The issues are obvious, but nothing to worry about right now when you are 13-3 and clinched a bye.
I was locked in the bathroom watching on a iPad for 3 1/2 hours.
no one noticed #familyfirst
I think the comment about rodgers throwing games to force a trade might have legs

The collective pass game is the Achilles heel. It may take just a few inspired plays to help keep the run game churning so who knows.
This is a 100% hope for the best and enjoy it scenario. There's no predicting what these playoff games are going to look like. Keep it weird I guess.

Depends on how broad your definition of gravy is.

Scenario 1
EKB's Wife: *banging on the door* "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE?
EKB: "I'm almost done ma. SHEESH"
EKB's Wife: "What the hell? Is this like a Freaky Friday situation and you're now a 15 year old in my husbands body"
Scenario 2 (and more likely)
EKB's Wife: "What the hell were you doing in there"
EKB: "Umm, watching the game on a streaming site. I didn't want to jinx the comeback by leaving the bathroom"
EKB's Wife: *grabs iPad* "Ah yes. The best site for illegal football streams - xhamster.com"
EKB: "Must be a pop up from those illegal sites!"

Challenge accepted.
- Phaedrus swore at me.
+ Phaedrus is institutionalized.
+ Whoever called the play to put the ball in Jones' hands and let him work some magic. Might be the play of the year for GB.

Thank you, thank you! People who donate blood, platelets, bone marrow, are all unsung heroes. So, thank you, from this cancer survivor/thrivor.

This game was the nightmare I wrote about yesterday: I know GB played 83 and 81 to help their confidence but for Christ sakes it seemed lost until13 and 16 played big snaps. Super happy for the win but I am praying for some good juju for 12 next time out!
I just want to see me some more Lazard. Great catch on the TD as it was another almost overthrow, and he had to use almost all of his 6'5" to grab it. The guy blocks like a demon, runs after the catch like a fullback, and catches what's thrown to him. And the ego is there without it being overbearing. What's not to like?

Keep it weird baby...Keep it weird
What a season!
Negs -- Just about the entire offense except Lazard, & AJ. Rodgers is terrible. He looks like Andy Dalton or Trubisky FFS. I have NFI what's wrong with him but it is what it is at this point. He has 2 weeks to figure it out.
Defensive run game. Clark was playing patty cake out there, I'm guessing on purpose -- they're saving it on D. K. Clark has to empty the tank for these next 3 games with that DIME defense they play. He's the reason they either stop the run or get gashed.
Really wish Mason would've made the 51 yarder buuuuuttttt......(see below)
Pos -- What more needs to be said about Z Smith? Even the announcers mentioned how much of a joke it is he isn't in the pro bowl.
Blark with an INT -- very big play! Great defensive call by Pettine.
Jaire with the intentional PI -- without it, we're all crying right now
Amendola -- eff that dude. He's such a punk & can't handle the fact Jaire is really really good. Thanks for the penalty A-hole. You're a jeenyious.
Mason with the redemption FG to get us the hell out of Detoilet with a victory. Thanks for making Saint & Seahawk fans cry, Mason. You're nails!

13-3. Huge accomplishment for MLF and this entire organization!
Jones is a stud and has been all season.
So is Adams.
Martinez! Was the int his first pass defended this season? Either way, game changer.
The entire D. They kept this team in the game and made big plays when they needed to. Well done!

AR. He’s the only reason why this game was even close.
Last year’s typical quote from MM “At the end of the day (sniff) it’s about execution”. This years quote from Matt “ Ya, no at the end of the day it’s about the character of our team” .
+ I think the Packers play to the level of their opponents. I state this as a positive because if true this means the Pack plays much better in two weeks.
+ Offensive line especially after the losses of Linsley and Bulaga.
+ Jones, as usual.
+ Adams, Lazard.
- Rodgers. His accuracy and lack of resorting more to a short passing game.
- Lethargic mentality the first half. They looked like they were sleepwalking.
6-0 in the division! Ugly is sooooooo beautiful!
Rodgers was bad today to the point it’s a concern. He was seriously awful.
Detroit gave this game away with little fight and Rodgers wasn’t having any of it. Rodgers is kind of a mess right now. And GB needs to figure out where his head is.
They showed some fight in the second half and ultimately survived but my mindset going into the playoffs is I have no expectations. Meaning they could very easily lose their first game especially if they play like they did today.
Yes I am happy they won the division and finished 13-3 but this team has flaws and I’m hopeful Gute can address in the off-season.
That being said, I am officially concerned with Aaron Rodgers now and in the future. If this is the beginning of a regression or he’s becoming much more ordinary they need to keep stacking the roster because it should not take you a miracle to beat a 3 win Detroit team that had nothing to play for.
Looking forward to the first round games and tonight’s matchup.
Seriously, Rodgers? I am one to give him the benefit of the doubt. But there have been a lot of excuses, including, new O, bad receivers, new coach etc. Now, if he was JAG these excuses could still apply after 16 games. He isn't JAG, he doesn't look good.
Personally from my couch with a Breckinridge Porter in my hand I think he has the yips, has lost a bit of confidence and has trouble pulling the trigger when the trigger should be pulled. He can still do it sometimes, certainly enough to win with a good team around him but I think his days of magic are in the past. It was a great run.
I hope I am wrong. GO AR and Go Pack!
I think today just shows how hard it is to win in the NFL.
Ask NE vs Miami or ATL vs SF....
The league is filled with inexplicable losses at times.
+
Martinez lead the team in tackles (Again), gets a sack, a TFL and an INT.
Lazard just keeps getting better and better
Z continues to ball out
Adams just does Adams type things
Oline played well
Aaron Jones is special
Crosby kicking the game winner after a miss earlier in the game

There is something seriously wrong with Rodgers. Could be age. Could be in his head. Could be receivers. Either way, this dude is the franchise and he's playing like a steaming pile of shit.
Run defense up the middle. Terrible.
Overall motivation and execution, especially in the first half
With so much on the line, almost shitting the bed against a much inferior team
Even with his yips, I'd still take him over 98% of the QB's in the league right now.
