KC isn't going to keep turning it over 3 times a game. Most of those TO's have been fluky, just a string of bad luck in my opinion.
They are a top 3 team in the NFL.
Think about this. In terms of ranking players that have played for this franchise, we have:
- Top 3 QB (Could argue 2 vs Favre, I don't think he tops Starr )
- Top 3 WR (Don't think he tops Hudson, probably beats Driver and Sterling)
- Top 3 RB (Don't think he tops Taylor but maybe Green)

It's crazy that I'm so pessimistic because of years of shit D that I don't think this group has a reasonable shot at a ring together.
When #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was asked postgame about his “I still own you!” comments to the #Bears crowd, he said: “Sometimes you black out on the field... I looked up in the stands and all I saw was a woman giving me the double bird"

Another recap.
@BrainDed posted:Gary consistently just misses as he runs by the QB. Yes, he impacts the play as the QB has to take 1 or 2 steps up, but it's not a huge impact.
It's better than just getting stoned, but I wouldn't call him an impact player, that's for sure.
He appears to lack the flexibility to flatten his rush.
---- Our ST coverage teams are an adventure. Injuries surely don't help stability and consistency. I noticed the Bears chose to return kickoffs within the end zone - definitely a huge flaw/weakness that still needs tons of fixes.
+++ Lancaster has taken Tonyan's place on the right side of field goals.
+++ Yay for Barry or Gray making the switch for Douglas over Yiadom quickly, instead of waiting a whole half like the McCarthy era would have.
---- Putting Tonyan in a position to block a DE one-on-one is a losing proposition. Liked Greg Olsen's commentary on it. M. Lewis can do it (he went one on one on Mack). Tonyan is a mediocre blocker at best.
Is Barnes in the doghouse again? Looks like Jaylon Smith got more snaps that Barnes did.
Another +++
Packers get to play the Bears again. The date? 12/12.

17 for Smith, 13 for Barnes. Barnes also got 8 on ST.
Yes that was obvious many times yesterday just how poor Tonyan attempts to block. its mind boggling. hoping its just a technique thing, but Im afraid its more like rebounding in basketball. effort, hustle, anticipation
I was surprised they kept Lewis on the roster but I was dead wrong. Love the big guy. Hope Bobby T can learn from Mercedes
Did we have an 82 yard punt yesterday?

It goes back to the fact that Tonyan was a tweener who converted to TE transitioning to the NFL.

When you have an elite OL like last year with three All-NFL level players (Bakh, Jenkins, and Linsley) and he can run routes most of the time he's very good. When you have to leave the TE in to block, he's a liability. He's not really a 3-down TE.
I think you guys are being a little harsh on Bobby T. Nobody is in the same class as Lewis, so you can't watch him and then expect TE to be able to block like him. Also, it was a bad game but some of it was poor design as well. DE 1 on 1 vs TE is not going to be a win most the time. The goal there is to slow them down, but he lost. It happens.

Not only was he asked to block a DE, but was asked to "reach block to the inside, which I never like. However, it did look like Bobby either forgot the snap count or just got off the ball very slowly, the DE moved before he did on the snap.
@YATittle posted:Gary tops PFF defense grades
Top 5.
1. OLB Rashan Gary, 87.4
2. CB Chandon Sullivan, 74.5
3. DL Kenny Clark, 73.6
4. LB De’Vondre Campbell, 71.4
5. S Henry Black, 70.6
Gary and Clark are staples.
Cannot be overstated how refreshing (and helpful to the D) it is to have a legitimate ILBer for the first time in forever in Campbell.
Sullivan and Black likely benefitted from the opposition, but nice scores nonetheless.
Bottom 5.
1. CB Rasul Douglas, 47.7
2. LB Jaylon Smith, 34.3
3. LB Oren Burks, 30.9
4. LB Krys Barnes, 28.5
5. CB Isaac Yiadom, 26.8
Douglas would have been higher if not for the unnecessary roughness penalty for the hit on fields.
Smith was let go by 5-1 Dallas for a reason.
Sad to see Barnes down with Burks and Smith.
Yiadom's Packer career should be about over if KIng returns or Dunbar has a pulse.
Those are really good observations from packerwire.
Campbell shows up with at least one big play every game. I only saw the first half so far where he had a TFL on a CHI run play. Not that a TFL is that big of a deal, I'm just not used to seeing it coming from one of our ILB's.
The talk I heard from 30k feet right after the Jaylon Smith trade was half of the pundits said he is still an all pro LB and the other half saying he doesn't even belong on the field.

I can't for the life of me remember the last time a Packer punter legitimately sailed one over the head of a returner where they had no chance to catch the ball. That was a moon shot by BOJO.
CHI throwback uni's are probably the best throwback uni's. Would've been fun to see that game with GB in their chest-dot throwbacks.
"Smith was let go by 5-1 Dallas for a reason."
He didn't look to sharp to me. Hesitant, slow... Hopefully it's just getting comfortable in the defense.
I don't understand why Burks is still getting snaps when you now have Barns, Campbell and Smith.
While burks is shit he does know the system - smith will be good he needs to get the system under his belt a bit - at least a girl can dream…who would have ever dreamt about so much at ilb
I don't look at Smith as a savior. A 5-1 team doesn't let go of a really good ILB at this point in the year; they let go of an ILB at this point in the season when he's not playing well enough to stay on their roster. And GB must know it: they signed him to only a one-year deal. Basically, a prove-it contract. Let's see what he does.

Burks is often in good position to make a play that he almost never makes.
OMGOSH…..Just saw DIVISION III make a tackle for Buffalo…..♥️

Absolutely, you had one job!
When I signed my last contract at X4 I was supposed to have Mondays and Tuesdays off.
You misread. It said "beat" off on Mondays and Tuesdays, not "be" off. So that doesn't really absolve you from not starting the game threads.
Consecutive days?
Jesus, I'm not 60 anymore.
Bo-jork kicked that one in the air about 65 yard before it rolled into the EZ. So it was a hell of a kick even without the roll.
With all the injuries now, maybe it was a good idea that we didn’t play starters in preseason except for the Saints game.
If you watch the ball come off Bjork's foot, it looks like it's going to be really low and short. Like he hit it wrong. Then the camera pans to the opposite end zone.
The PR didn't even try to field that one. It would have been a heckova over-the-shoulder bomb and he probably would have ended up in the EZ with momentum anyway.

Jesus, that thing landed a good 15 yards behind where the PR had initially set himself up.
