Positives/Negatives Packers Vikings

+
Pretty much the entire offense (after the first quarter)
Crosby

-
The first quarter --lost the game right there...the way it turned out.
McCarthy almost blowing the game with the challenge flag
DBacks
Tackling

+ Offense got going after the 1st qtr.
+ Where would this team be without Rodgers

-Defense as a whole, terrible tackling, blown assignments.
- Posters peeing down their leg thinking the season is over and Capers should be fired.

+
Thought the offense played well overall and 34 should be enough to win.

-
Horrible defensive effort all around.

- Game management and not having a timeout to challenge that catch in the first half.

+
The Rodgers/Jordy connection.
Crosby looks dome-ready...
YAC

-
Tramon Williams
Blown coverage

+

Arod
Crosby
Mathews
Finley
Harris (I am a big fan of his)
Jennings
Raji
Jones
Jennings
Run blocking

-

Williams
Jennings missing on the int or knockdown
Hayward with the brain fart on 3rd and 11

Let's CRUSH these a*s clowns next week!!!

GO PACK!!!

Just bad defense.

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.

+ Ross had some nice returns. Might be a way to get Cobb out of that position next year.

-
Crap like this.

-
Everybody crying

+
We have the best player in the NFL. We have as good of a chance as anybody to win the Super Bowl

- A gutless performance against the useless Vikings, letting those pukes in to the playoffs.

That negates the good by Nelson, Ross, Finley, Harris and Raji.

+

I forgot to add Ross to the list.

+ 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.

+
Bears aren't in the playoffs!

I'd rather have the Bears in the playoffs instead of the douchebag Viqueens.

+

Raji
AR
Harris
Ross
Receivers

-

CM (didn't play poorly, but didn't "make big plays")
DB's (more in run support than pass defense)
LBers

I'd rather have the #2 seed and a bye...regardless of how it affects any other team.

quote:

CM (didn't play poorly, but didn't "make big plays")

Disagree. CM was all over the field and his backside run support was outstanding.

I thought Clay played great, too. Couple of tipped passes and good pressure on passing downs to go with the sack. Also chased a few down beyond the LOS.

(+)
- the entire offense minus Don Barclay

(-)
- the entire defense minus BJ Raji
- horse ****. this game was utter and complete horse ****



hope it's out of their system now.

This.

Harris

wasting time outs in the first half = can't challenge the blown call
top 4 Packer tacklers in the game were all DBs
DBs....KNOCK THE BALL DOWN
MM throwing the red flag
1st quarter offense...get a first down

- One Eye Black playing like a B

+ Nobody Panic!

- Everyone Panic!

This was a game on the road in a very difficult environment against very motivated team. I am disappointed like everyone else here that the Pack played a sub-par game and came up short, but they have a chance to avenge everything next week.

The majority of the team played their ass's off. You can hate the vikings all you want but this team was far from gutless.

Wide Spread Panic

+ we're in the playoffs
+ Bears are not

Don't care About anything else.

Yeah, after they first quarter they really showed some heart. I wouldn't have called this a gutless loss.

Does anyone here have any info on Worthy? I don't imagine he'll play next week after being carted off, but I'd still like to know.

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.

+
Hard to beat one team three times in single season
Rodgers...he is so much better than TOG
Nelson great game back from injury
Jennings
Finley
D Harris running
Jones

-
Vikes got a gift call from the refs on the incomplete...complete pass
Tackling
Williams bad penalty on 3rd down
Rookie errors in DB backfield
Letting 69 get a sack

A couple things that drove me crazy.

Tackling way too high and losing contain on running plays letting AP get outside.

Stuff we work on with 3rd graders.

We playing Saturday or Sunday??

Not when the subject is their full time job that they get paid millions to do.

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
