We do better on defense this week, more consistently, though Charles does get some yards on screen passes. Ty Montgomery gets his first NFL TD pass on a screen himself, James Jones gets another TD, Pack is ahead 17-10 at the half. Eddie doesn't play but Harris and Starks get some major yards and there's a Janis sighting on offense. Long drive at beginning of third quarter leads to a Richard Rodgers TD, Pack grinds out the rest of the game to win 30-24.

James Jones has played 125 snaps, has been thrown at 6 times, and has 5 catches and 3 TDs. It's unsustainable.
Right now this is the Randall Cobb show.
No, we're all pretty sure he is going to have 40 catches for 24 TD's this year.
Then it is sustainable. Far out.
27 receptions and 31 TD's for Jones. Targeted a total of 24 times. I think his special year is going to escalate.

Not with Cobb being less than 100%.

Lacy doesn't play but Starks and Harris get it done. Defense scores on a TO and AR throws for three.

James Jones took a cold water bath and shrank 3 inches. I think he is ready to star again.
Rodgers & Co. keep it rolling. Starks is solid in the spot start. The defense has another impressive game against a good rushing attack.

The sheer power of Aaron Rodgers is amazing.

Bam! Orange Bozo suddenly retires....
Chiefs come to play Monday night off of their very embarassing loss.
Packers win a close hard fought game 23-20
We build a big lead, then have to endure a bit of nail-biting as GadZooks' guys recover an onside kick to keep us unbeaten, 34-30.
Packers D just played this opponent last week so they hold up well. Our tackles struggle with their pass rush and Rodgers has a tough go of it, for his standards.
24 -13 good guys.
Most think it will be close...
Pack 23 Chefs 20

Most thought the SEA game would be close.
Wrong thread.
Sorry - I'll delete.
LOL
Packers prevail in repeat of Super Bowl I, 35 -10 shocker.
Light rain, rowdy crowd, packers by 6.
Montgomery gets a TD, as does Jones and RRodgers, O line struggles against KC defensive front. Charles gets 2 TDs for KC--1 rushing outside and 1 receiving. Kelce gets a KC TD, late. Packer's defense gets 2 sacks on Smith. Pack wins a nail biter 24-21.
remember when Philly came to Green Bay last year and everyone was soooo scared of them and their prolific offense?
Anyhow, this will actually be a blow out. 59-13 Packers

I think their D will get opportunities to hit Rodgers and will end some drives, but Rodgers is crafty and determined for all 60 minutes. You can give 110% and give him trouble for a half, but the onslaught continues until the game is over. That's a lot for a D, even a good D, to keep up with 60 minutes. They don't have an offense that is prolific enough to give their D breathing room, that D will be on its heals for all 60 minutes.
I see this as one of the 'close' games but never in doubt. 24-13 Pack.

Good call. I'm thinking the same, with a defensive score and possibly a STs return for a score. Time for this Packers defense to shine. They've done well the last 3 halves, and will continue to build their new identity by rolling KC.
Packers OTs struggle, but Rodgers guts KC when given time.
Packers 27-17.
Gotta love homers....Listening to KC sports radio 810 WHB this morning. They did a very quick comparison of the two teams roster this morning.....Other then QB, the Chiefs are at worst a wash against the Pack at WR and O-line and better at the Pack when it comes to D-line, RB, TE, Linebacker, Safety and potentially CB.
So based on that.... Chefs 56-Don't have a chance Packers 3
True. Except for the Packers advantage in weapons, they are equally armed. Also, scheme and execution have no impact, which is why KC doesn't bother to practice.
Although, to be fair, the Chiefs do have a solid team and with injuries to Nelson, Bulaga and Burnett, that assessment isn't too awful. I'd still take the Packers receivers, but if you add in the TEs it gets closer, and both have issues at OT these days, which is where most people look first at OL. Interior O-line the Packers have a clear edge, methinks.
Honestly, though, I wince whenever I see KC on the schedule. I have too many memories of good Packer teams not being able to beat KC. I had the option of going to this game or the game against Detroit in November. I opted for the Lions.
KC has never lost at Lambeau, I hope my prediction of 27-24 Chiefs is very wrong tonight.
Some year the Lions are going to win in Lambeau. I hope it's not this year.
Super Bowl team in 1996 lost to the Chiefs too. (in KC) Time to get off the schneid
Low scoring game. If the Packers were healthier, I think they'd win by 2 touchdowns. However, they are hurting at the skill positions on offense and I think the Chiefs are the type of team to take advantage. If you'd have said before the season that the Packers would play a game against a playoff caliber team without Jordy Nelson and Eddie Lacy and with Cobb and Adams both being significantly dinged up, I think most of us would have predicted a loss.
I'll say Chiefs 23-16.
