OL had best performance all year…they bossed the Cowpies all day on the run fits
Watson showed he has some things you can’t coach…if the light goes on, he can be special.

If Jordan Love ends up as good as Cousins, it will turn out to be a good pick.

He is. Sometimes. But usually poops his pants in prime time.
Thing is their OC finally got Cook going again and that is Kark's best friend.
++ There's still some fire there; Watson is better than we thought he was; Ford came out of nowhere; AR's block; a win over Dallass; Money Mason
- - - Amari, although that one punt catch by Nixon was crazy risky; Barry needs to figure out run D or Henry will set a record Thursday; tackling on Lamb TD
One of the best things I suspect was that AR stuck by MLF's game plan for the most part. In the past, once down he would revert to tossing the ball all over the place; today, he looked like he stuck with the plan. It was also good to see some fire in AR: the block and his running after the play on Jones' big run. AR had probably his best game of the year as far as being a leader and sticking to the plan. It was crazy how open Watson was for all three of his TDs -- the guy gets separation -- and he moved up to WR1. On the long TD, that's a difficult catch when looking to one side and having to flip your body to the other side at full speed and over the shoulder. Lazard just works his butt off and takes advantage of the opportunities he has; yes, it would have been 6 if he had speed on that throw, but he made sure of the catch and made sure he held it after contact.
I'm happy tonight!
Positives
Obviously having Watson out there healthy makes a huge difference in opening up the offense. Just like MVS, having him out there makes the DBs play a step or two father back.
Ford looking like Rasul last year.
it took about 8 too many games, but finally benching Amari Rodgers helped win this game.
Negatives
Amari Rodgers obviously
Savage
MLF looking like a deer in the headlights making decisions at the end of the game.
By the way, Gutey might have had the biggest win today with Watson going off. The fact that Amari Rodgers and Savage were their worst two players on the field would have been even more of a disaster for him if the other guy he traded up for (Watson) didn't essentially win the game for them.

Against a good defense.

-Lambeau crowd. How, after his second crucial pick of the night, the stadium wasn't chanting RU-DY! RU-DY! RU-DY! is beyond me. They were loud when DAL had the ball though, so they had that going for them.
AR went under center in the second half. It helped the run game and enabled play action. That was something he was hesitant to do in previous games.

I only watched a bit of the first half and was surprised to see him under center so often. May have helped to have play action open things up.
Wasn't it also historic in them moving into first place for most all time wins?
415 yards of offense.
350+ from the run game and play action.
"So proud of you guys."

+ I saw a stat that LaFleur called designed runs on about 2/3 of the plays. I don't know how that compares with previous weeks but the whole RPO thing and static WR sets wasn't working for the offense. LaFleur's offense is based on runs and play action. It was really working yesterday. The guy can coach offense. In game decisions and critical 4th down calls, though...
- I understand LaFleur sticking by his players/coaches and giving them multiple chances if they make mistakes but watching Savage and Am. Rodgers week after week failing to improve means he sticks with them to a fault. Drayton last year cost the team badly.
- Drops, drops, drops.
- Pass rush for much of the game. Gary is badly missed.
- Kenny Clark, where are you?
+ O-line held up pretty well against an elite pass rush. Amazing what a fixed starting 5 can do.
Positives:
NFC win
Beating Dallas is always a positive
Being able to run the ball and sticking to it does wonders for the play action plays
Scoring 31 points against a pretty good defense
RUDY!
Negatives:
Amari needs to never see the field again as a returner.
Was it just me or where there a ton of Cowpies fans at Lambeau?

It's made worse by the fact that for the most part Aaron Rodgers isn't going to make poor decision to lose you games (the Detroit game last week was maybe the first time in his career of 216 starts the you look at a game and say that if a journeyman QB starts instead of him they win).
It's tougher to make those types of decisions with an inexperienced QB or with a wildcard like Favre.
Positive. Listening to Skip Bayless this morning as he refers to Aaron as his Dracula
Thrilled with the win and I sincerely hope going forward that any of you people (TM) who have hoped for losses in order to secure a better draft (that’s a loser mentality and if you have it, I bet you lose a lot) but I simply can’t get past LaFleur’s suicidal use of Amari Rodgers. Is it blindness, arrogance or stupidity? It’s definitely one of those things.
…and also, I’d never want to be in a foxhole under enemy fire with Michigan Packer. We’d be POW’s before I loaded my rifle. 😘

I'm much different as a fan than when I'm actively involved with something and have some degree of control, but I am obviously guilty as a fan of "premature game-over-ulation"
Positives.
I'd rather have Aaron Rodgers at 3 years and 150 million AND Jordan Love at 1 year and 5 million in 2023 than Dak Prescott in the middle of a 4 year, 160 million contract.
Hopefully Watson has found his groove and can also stay healthy to continue on from his productive day. Those long ball successes were great to see again. Also happy for Ford. This D needs serious run D support and only a few days to figure it out. Are 10 wins required for the playoffs this year or can we do it with 9?

Back in my day the ladies didn't use all those words to describe that condition. Or so I've heard.
You have to hope to catch one of the SF/SEA, NYG or DAL, no matter the record. I would have to say NYG is on shakiest ground but we'd lose the H2H vs them. They and DAL only need to win 3 and 4 more, respectively to get to 10. Things don't look good for the post season. But let's see what happens THU before really worrying about it.

After looking at the NFC standings I think 9 wins could very well get a team in. After the Eagles, Spermheads, and Giants it is a jumbled mess in the standings. Eight teams in the NFC have 4-6 wins so I don't think 9 wins is out of the realm of possibility.
DAL and NYG alone are only 4 and 3 wins from 10. We'd lose tiebreaker vs. NYG but win it vs DAL. IF DAL ends up only winning 4 of their last 8. I guess I don't share your optimism.
Looking at their schedules, if they both revert a bit I guess I could see them losing more than they win. But that's still thinking GB can win 6 of 7 beating everyone but maybe PHI. The only chance they have doing that, assuming they offense is "fixed", which is a big IF, is if the D figures out how to stop the run. We'll get a clearer picture of that Thursday night.
Neg...seems a lot of people sold their tickets for this game which explains all the Cowpie fans.
Hopefully Tennessee game is more of a home field advantage.
