We won.
We got of the game to my knowledge healthy.
Bedwetters go to bed befuddled.

Sam Shields. Take another Advil
Julius Peppers disappearing act.
Another blocked Xtra point.

Home field advantage in their sites. On to BUF.
2nd half defensive let down gives McCarthy something to kick their ass over and keep them focused.
Rodgers, Lacy, Nelson, Starks, Quarless, Cobb, OL......

2nd half defensive let down
Starks gets the game ball IMO.
Great to see him making big plays again.
+
Run game was great
Offense was great
First half they dominated
Crosby making that 53 yard FG near the end
Rodgers being Godgers
INT by a Safety!
-
Shields. Abused all game
DL - what happened to the pass rush?
2nd half defense - turned a laugher into a nail biter and couldn't generate a single stop if their lives depended on it. Not good to see after their impressive showing last week. Can't have that, looked like the defenses we've been accustomed to seeing here the past few years.
+
The win. Offense continues to function like a well-oiled machine.
-
The stench of the second half defensive performance was unbearable. An epic and embarrassing fail from both the coaches and players.
Positives:
The offense is nearly unstoppable at Lambeau.
Negatives:
Giving up 30 points in a half was tough to watch.
Only 5 days to prepare for a road game against a solid Bills team.
I don't think Sam was fully over the concussion. I don't think Daniels back is 100%. I don't think Brad Jones is an NFL player.

Yep, which isn't what you want to see considering how that defense was. Reminded me of the Chargers game. Pack got up big and made it a laugher and then the defense imploded and turned it into a nail biter at the end

Oline was outstanding once again.
Glad to see Starks get carries. Both his and Lacy's running style in the second half of games are the type that punish and demoralize defenses.
___
Capers adjusted late with Julio Jones. Pulling Shields was a start, but it came late.
The DL and OLB disappeared this game. I don't understand why that should be the case against a very pedestrian O-line.
Championship teams win games like this after a big win last week.
Life really sucks for some Packers fans.

Good call.
Packers are still the best team in the NFL.
Positives
Offense in first half
Lacy and Starks
Defense in first half---because offense domminate time of possession
Negative
Capers gets burned over and over by one WR yet again and can't adjust--see Reggie Wayne 3 years ago,
Three timeouts on defense in 2nd half because defense is unorganized
Back shoulders to Adams, he is completely unaware
Julio Jones woulda had 300 yds had he not went out.
Offense was great
Crosby won me my FF playoff with that knuckleballer!
usual cast of Rodgers,Lacy And Nelson superb
Starks contributing in 2014!
Defense was putrid.
Peppers and CM3 bottled up
need to rewatch it but hopefully we just went to prevent too early
I think its a good thing that we were challenged a little bit and calmly responded
Glad they could test run the Megatron defense out today. Might need to kick the tires on that one a little.
Brad Jones block might have decided the game.
+
playing vanilla on defense in case we meet Atlanta again in the playoffs
-
it didn't snow enough.
Did Jones at least get credit for the ref tackle?
It's like that. Only different. Unless that happened 25 yards downfield.
Obviously, it's disheartening to see the defense pretty much fall apart in the second half. It echoes what we saw down in Miami. But don't forget, this is a Falcons offense that destroyed the Cardinals last week, who have a very good defense. Matt Ryan is no slouch.
Pos:
+ MM with the gutsy call to pass on 2nd down with 2 mins left. He knew we had to end the game on offense and put the ball in Rodgers hands. We often complain about play calls, have to give kudos when he nails it.
+ O line dominated in pass pro and was solid run blocking.
+ Rodgers was surgical with the check downs and audibles to run against 2 deep.
Negs:
- Defense. No pass rush and poor coverage. Just bad tonight.
Here's a negative
Zach Heilprin @ZachHeilprin <small class="time">37 seconds ago</small>
Eddie Lacy left the game after taking a helmet to the hip. Couldn't finish the game.
Props to th OL and specifically to Sitton and Lang. Those two have been playing with painful foot injuries for a month and there was no inside pressure at all.
Linsley is is the best center we've had since Flanagan.
Some credit has to go to CampeN as well.
Per MM, it's a hip bruise for Lacy.
Keep saying it does not matter Polly's, these injuries take their toll ... Dominator should be clearly in your sights because it will eventually matter if you want to hoist a Vince.
ARod & Co are good, Seattle is a different animal. JMO.

The team out there tonight wouldn't have had a prayer against the Seahawks, even the Lions would have smoked them in a game like this one. Let's hope they look a lot more like they did against the Patriots from here on out.
Positives, there is nothing negative about winning.

I don't agree with this at all. Seattle doesn't have an offense to hang more than 24 against many teams. They have nothing at WR remotely close to ATL. They are banking on 24-14 grind you to death games. Detroit got there stuff handed to them by NE recently, yes? Saying Detroit would have smoked GB at Lambeau is emotion talking.
Both Detroit and Seattle have elite defenses, Atlanta is one of the bottom 3. Yes, both would have smoked the Packers if their defense plays like it did tonight.
+ The run by Rodgers with 2 mins left broke their backs. Starks' run was just another nail in the coffin. MM gets credit on the AR run call (if it wasn't a freelance by AR).
+ Linsley. Anyone else notice that on any run for positive yards the RBs seem go through a hole our center has made? Linsley may not make a gaping gap, but he opens it enough to allow the RBs to gain yards. What a draft steal.
+ Jordy, Cobb being themselves.
- Adams did little tonight and was on a different book, much less page, on that back-shoulder throw.
- Our D turning this into a game that was far too close for comfort. Watching Jones go one-on-one and abusing our DBs over and over after he racked up all those yards was painful. If he hadn't gotten hurt, he would have eclipsed 300. Why no help from a safety? I'm still not sold on Capers.
- Clay, Peppers, Daniels all came up small when most needed, albeit, Guion almost made the play of his career.
It's a W, and now we shuffle off to Buffalo.

Smoked? Maybe the Packers wouldn't put up 40, but the Seahawks aren't going to put up 30 either. Detroit got smoked by New England, offensively and defensively...who was in turn soundly beaten by the Packersthe very next week..
The team that showed up last night wasn't even close to being the best team in the NFL.
