First half
Wow,we saw a team with their regular quarterback who is pretty damn good lose a game to the Mash Packers.just goes to show no matter how terrible they may be playing there is always another team playing much worse.Lions get hammered 34-20 to keep the door wide open.
Positives:
Nelson, Lacy, Perry, Jolly, Quarless, Bostick
After today, I think the Pack will win the division. Detroit is in full choke mode and Chicago is injured as badly as the Pack is.
Negatives:
Still a poor football team overall without Rodgers.
I don't care if the Packers get blasted 50-0 in New Orleans or Seattle, I want this team to win the damn division. **** the Bears and Lions!

Said it before. I'll say it again. The Lions can't handle success.
Plus
PACKER WEATHER
Jarret Bush, baby!
Eddie "The Train" Lacy
Jolly stuffing the run
More screens called and roll-outs that actually worked
Nelson
Quarless
Defense actually played tough when it counted
Heads up by Bush and House not to touch the ball while they were sliding into the EZ.
Beating the Chumps from ATL
Rodgers can come back now and feel good about it
Negs
Flynn made a dumb choice on the pass to Kuhn which was the INT and TD
MM calls a run to Lacy with 2 seconds left and gets a sprained ankle in return
Hyde took a fair catch(es) and shouldn't have
Lacy’s production: Running back Eddie Lacy set two Packers rookie records on Sunday. His seventh rushing touchdown of the season broke Samkon Gado’s rookie record set in 2005, and he surpassed John Brockington’s mark of most carries by a rookie. Brockington had 216 in 1971. Lacy returned from a second-quarter ankle injury to rush for 65 yards on 20 carries.
+ A win's a win, and it's been too long
+ Hey, some players had some fight in them
-Other players... not so much.
MM said Randall Cobb should start practicing on Tuesday. If AR is back with Cobb, things could get rather interesting this week.
There is only one positive....this team has life.
+
A win and there's still a chance.
-
Struggled to beat a poor team and need better offensive production with fewer mistakes. The long pass to Jordy was underthrown and it's an easy TD with a better ball.

Just hope they have plenty of Naval Jelly on hand.

+Loins lost

-1st half D
-Still a lot of mistakes
-More injuries
+ Defense in the 2nd half. Who woulda thunk it!?
+Win
-More injuries.
Negatives - We'll be seeing on all the nfl highlights for sometime the following two plays:
1) the off the foot pick 6; and,
2) Two injured Packers running into each other.
Positive
But, hey we won by 1 point at home in Packer weather against one of the worst teams in the NFL. I'll take that over a loss anytime!!!! I's a happy camper.
Please AR be ready next week!
Hawk was livid after the Falcons’ failed screen toward the end of the game, and he had reason to be after a late dive at his knee by a Falcons’ offensive linemen. That’s the kind of cheap ass crap Raji talked about a few years ago that the Falcons’ line is (in)famous for.
Superdoubleplus-
MD Jennings getting off the field. More than tired of his dreadful play. Don't know if Richardson is all that good yet, but he's certainly better than Jennings.
Have to give Crosby a ton of credit in this one. Tough conditions and played well.
Jolly has made more plays this year than Raji has in his last two combined.
Hyde seems like he benefits from bad field conditions. Slows the other guys down a bit and he's like a mudder running back where he can still get his top speed.
Why wasn't someone in the endzone on that 50 yard FG by ATL? Ball would have gone over their head on that kick, but if the kick was short there's an opportunity to make a big play.
Flynn had some bad moments of pocket presence. Just didn't move well away from pressure.
The thing I notice about Flynn tit is when he pulls it down, he quits looking downfield and is going to run. And Crosby has had a helluva year.

McCarthy on what he told his players after getting booed at halftime: "I told them it's lonely being a warrior sometimes."

If you're getting booed at halftime what are you going to do to change it?!

This just in....Mike, it's a freakin football game.....
this just in... some people do not understand metaphorical language...
DID MCCARTHY SAY IT IN ALL CAPS?
Positives-
Lacy. Pretty easy call there.
Starks. I was wrong about him. Thought he wouldn't be with the team this year. I really like what he does with the ball in his hand. Didn't get much of a chance today, but he has become a guy I want back next year.
Q. Productive, but he also made a couple tough catches. He can be the #2 TE on my team. Bostick makes a decent third option.
Bush. MVP, MVP
CMIII. Another easy one, he makes things happen. Guy is aware and a killer (not really a killer PP, another metaphor.)
Wide Receivers. Ted knows how to pick 'em.
Jolly. Curious what he looks like after an off season of conditioning. Guy is doughy (and unlike me, makes plays).
Neutral
Flynn. Did what he needed to do. It is a shame he's not longer got a deep throw in him (the only time he overthrows a receiver is when he is on his own 10 yard line and tosses it out of the endzone).
Mike. Can't understand not using those time outs in the first half. At least one of them.
Negatives.
Hawk, Jones, Lattimore. Lattimore's best hit was on Jolly's ballsack. Hawk made two plays (maybe we can hear about the great year he is having from the same announcers who said "Jordy Nelson wasn't an early round pick."). Jones made one nice play, left a bunch on the field. The middle of this field is wide open, either for passes or getting gashed on the run. They are very, very lucky the one screen pass was dropped. You could see Hawk was confused, couldn't find anyone to block him.
All in all, I'm not sure what team has quit. Seemed like the Pack quit most of the game, then decided to let the Falcon's quit later.
Matty Ice. Guy isn't a bad QB. He might have had another comeback if his receivers could catch.
Can we please stop contributing to the Matty Ice meme? Was anyone remotely worried about the 'great' Matt Ryan when ATL had the ball at the end of the game? I was concerned that GB would completely bust a coverage, not about 'the great' Matt Ryan threading needle after needle.
He's one of the most overrated slightly above average QBs in the game today. He had an INT to end it and a fumble - same as Flynn. Is Flynn as good as Ryan? Obviously not, but today the gap between them wasn't very big at all.
Positives -
Agreed with Tit - suddenly things looked better in the defensive backfield when that worthless stiff Jennings hit the pine. Certainly not just because of that move, but the defense pitched a shutout in the second half and really only gave up one drive when you consider one of the two offensive TD drives was all of 13 yards. Guess who missed the final tackle on the other TD?
Jordy is one of the best WRs in the league. He's just so damn good.
Mike Neal makes a big play.
Quarless was big today.
Somehow, they're still alive with two basically crappy teams in front of them in the standings.
Negatives -
Jennings. If McMillian was bad enough to get cut, how is this guy even within 100 miles of that facility?
Serendipity- Richardson replaces jennings and the birds don't score again.
+ Kicking game on the tundra- Masthay's last super punt and Crosby is deadly again.
Dang, Lacy reminds me of Earl Campbell.
+MM using the word "bull****" while talking to Larry after the game on live radio.
Bush starring on the last 2 defensive stands
Overcame a quirky pick six
OL was OK on pass protection, but neither team could run on that field.
We will be better next week because we will be healthier
-Didn't see enough Dave Robinson
Jackson seemed to run just fine.
I think Matty Matty Ice Ice was OK today, but I also think our defense was awful.

Nicely dun. Patty Melt is only as good as the team carrying him. Mobility/Pocket Awareness seemed less than I remembered. It was cold so I will cut him some slack today.
Having 2 crappy teams in front of us means we are rather crappy w/o A-Rod.
Quarless seems to be playing with confidence. We won a Lombardi with a rookie named Quarless a couple years ago.
I think Matt Ryan is a good to very good QB that is capable of winning a Superbowl with sufficient talent around him. He's nowhere near the level of Rodgers/Brady/Manning/Brees however. I think most people that follow the NFL know this. Hell, half the announcers that are hyping him up as elite probably know it too.
pretty sure announcers are morons instructed to provide talking points
