I haven't been the biggest JerMichael fan but have to give him a lot of credit today. He blocked his ass off today, made a ton of effort, and was the most physical I remember him since 2009.

Jennings is just a different WR in the slot. Problem for him is the exact same WR exists on the this team, is far younger, and cheaper.

Crosby. Give him credit. He's bouncing back.

-'s

Secondary was awful. These aren't elite WR's they were facing. Tramon, Shields, and Hayward with terrible games.

Tackling in general. Hawk, Zombo, and Walden. Hard to defend Peterson with this kind of trio.

MM. It's his job to get his team prepared. Once again, very flat to start this game.

Tramon will want to burn this tape. Hawk made one play and disappeared (actually Haida few highlights of hitting the deck while AP passed him by).

Raji played his ass off. Crosby looked confident. I like the straight ahead runs for Harris, let him make a citified he needs to. Not as much a fan of the stretch play.

This team looked bad in the first half, can't do that anymore. I live the way they responded in the second half. Nothing but man coverage next week, everyone else tackle Petersen.
+ The receivers
Rodgers
Ross played pretty well considering it was his first start. Good Job!
Crosby deserves some love. He hit a field goal to tie the game under tons of pressure

- MM, what a dope with the red flag and horrible script for first 15 plays.
Williams was a liability out there today. I expect more from him.
The entire defense. Poor tackling and coverage. Obvious miscues all over. No big plays or turnovers.

The online was lousy once again. Barclay looked like the undrafted rookie that he is. Marshall is a stiff.
Pathetic showing on the defense. No excuse for what happened out there today. For the second year in a row, I'd be ok with the first 5 picks being defenders. Makes sense too, b/c that sh*t show reminded me of the 2011 defense. LB's and secondary couldn't make a tackle in the run game and secondary couldn't cover. So glad we brought back the zone coverage where three DB's surround a WR, allow a completion, then look are each other saying "Uh, I thought you had him...".

On the positive, despite the offenses slow start, coming back to score 34 points in the last 3 quarters with zero help by the defense is impressive. Good to see that Jennings, Finley and Nelson are playing at all-pro levels. Finley is playing like he wants to be back in 2013. Harris also looked good. I really think he could be the long term answer at RB with a full offseason with the team (although at his size, he'll need a partner back there). It was also a relief to see Crosby hit a long field goal before halftime and hit a 40 yard FG with some pressure on him.

Rough day for Barclay though, but it is what it is; he shouldn't be playing but b/c our 2 first round draft pick tackles are hurt, we're stuck with him. Maybe he should get more help, but it's not like the rest of the line is playing that well either (ahem.....Newhouse, who has proven himself to be pretty average this year). Really hope Sherrod and Bulaga come back healthy next year.

But I cannot get over the garbage the defense put on display today. Just flat out pathetic. Put every defender on notice except CMIII and Raji, because their play today showed that every single one can be upgraded.

Loved the fight to get it tied. Rodgers was superb after that idiotic slow start with its predictable play calling.

-
WILLIAMS!
Hayward dropping an INT and blowing the most important third down in the second half.
Shields peaking in the backfield on the 73-yard completion.
Officiating making so many bad calls, especially the delay of game on us.

Folks, we will hammer these guys at Lambeau IF we do a better job tackling Petersen. That's it. I like Ponder outdoors, especially if Capers blitzes him.
I'd guess they'd play in the NBC night game Saturday, but that's just a ratings type guess. It's easily the best matchup from a storyline perspective of the first weekend.

As for the game:

+

Rodgers and Co
Harris looked good again
Not many dropped passes
Peterson thought he got the record
They still can win the Super Bowl
Crosby looked good

Defense was awful, not sure where that came from.
Didn't capitalize on chances at turnovers
More injurie
