Poz/Neg Packers vs Seattle

Rust(y) Bowl

+Big D in GB - 2 INTs 3 sacks multi-Hail Mary stops = shutout

+ Rodgers rusty but 2 4th Q TD drives.

+Dillon 2 TD MVP

- Shaky FG/ special teams

- Injuries continue

+ A GOLL DAMN WIN.

- Aaron needed those 10 days to reconnect.

- Damn injuries.

+++   A J Dillon. What a level headed guy.  No matter how hard he gets smacked down he just gets up and hands the ball to the ref. No drama, no anger, just plays.  great hands on passes too.

Entire secondary.  But I'm going to single out Amos.He was all over the field making big plays.

------

Rodgers.     I'm tired of his eye rolls, head shakes, yelling and pointing at guys.  Yet when he throws a bad pass he never points at himself as to say fault.

Injuies.      We may be missing some key guys as we start the big push.

Refs.       Why wasn't Metcalf given an unsportsman like conduct when he trid to reenter the game after being ejected>?

Only touchdowns after the belt was mocked. Will the league never learn...

In MLF presser, no update on Aaron Jones

EDIT:

Also no updates on Rashan Gary, Whitney Mercilus

+ Joe Barry has done a fantastic job.  Without question Russell Wilson was rusty and off, but to shut him out is a massive achievement that deserves kudos.

- As great a win as this was, if Merciless, Gary, and Jones are all out for the year, that is a devastating outcome of what should have been an enjoyable win.

+Also appreciate Atari Rodgers CATCHING punts and even returning a few.

-Had to hold my breath on every FG and PAT

If only we had OBJ...crickets

We may now need the money OBJ would have taken to find OLB help if Gary and Mercilus are done for the year.

Any updates on Michael Jackson?

Lots of positives, Amos in particular.  Dillon was a horse. 

Negs- drops.  A bunch of drops.  Some would have been tough catches as guys were hit right when the ball arrived, but great teams make some of those catches.

Deguara.  Early in the first half he disrupted a play perfectly by running into the guy the play was designed for.  Obviously Rodger's eye rolls were karma, but I don't think he running routes as designed either. 

+

I went with a hunch and started AJ Dillon on my fantasy team. Thanks for 25.8 points, AJ!

We really need Z to return for the playoffs.  If we can enter the Dance with Smith, Smith and Garvin we can make it happen.  

+ defense looks legit, even with Wilson off his game, they were fabulous-I can't wait for Alexander to come back, but Douglas is holding his own.

-what a year of injuries and just as I was falling in love with Gary

-full disclosure, I'm done with Rodgers--but I grade his game today as just above terrible. 292 yards was a bit padded with simple screens and some 8 year mojo with the best receiver in the game--otherwise, if he was wearing jersey #10 I think people would be saying we got to keep #12.. should have gotten some advise from joe rogan on how to make a comeback after expressing a disinterest in science and his fellow man

Yeah, the league MVP sucks!!!

+ Defense 

+ Dillon

- Rodgers played like crap and Defense bailed him out.

Like most of us the Pos for me was (again) the defense. I add the plays by Dillon to that list.

I was not impressed with the offensive line but unsure if it is a neg. And maybe the offense was a bit off today.  As far as injuries go the loss of those players may come back to bite the team. However, Metcalf is definitely a turd!

The @Packers defense faced Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes and Russell Wilson over the past three weeks.

Their *combined* stats: 62-of-110 (56.3%), 601 yards, 1 total TD, 4 INT.

That's championship level play.

Those simple screens were/are not as easy as they looked.

Our magic number to win the division is 5 with 7 games to play.  

Split with the Vikings.  Win against the Bears, Browns and Lions and we are NFC North Champs.

Yes, that’s only 4 wins, a win against MN makes magic number 4.

I'm happy to think about NFC North Champion but HFA is it for me.  Dillon was a stud tonight be needs 10 carries to warm up!

One huge negative that looms large.  If they don't get ST fixed it absolutely will cost them in the playoffs.

It would be insane to lose because they can't block, tackle or place the fucking ball correctly.  Especially with how well the defense and offense are performing.

Not counting the other games fg attempts which were terrible and your right, it will cost. But to me, everything went well on the missed fg today.

Anybody at the game? Any feedback on how our immunized boy was greeted?

From my friend at the game.

Didn’t notice anything. Of course, the D played so amazing last week that they got announced, not the offense

Source confirmed initial diagnosis on #Packers RB Aaron Jones is a sprained R MCL. Jones has sprained his MCL 3 other times, 2 on his R and once L. He missed 2 games in '17 w/L and did the R at the end of the '17 and '18 seasons, so he didn't return. No surgery for any of them.

— Tom Silverstein (@TomSilverstein) November 15, 2021

#Packers LB Rashan Gary will have an MRI Monday on his hyperextended elbow, but initial indications are there’s no break or ligament damage, source said. Some early optimism for an emerging player.

60 Minutes of whatever it took tonight .. Another great team victory for the good guys. Gratitude throughout!! #GoPackGo

Good to hear no subluxation.
Chance for next week. https://t.co/yITtTPb6Qr

Wow.  Thought for sure he broke his arm and was done for season.

Sublaxation is the fancy word for dislocation.  I dislocated both elbows at same time, and it takes two clinicians to put back in place....one to hold the upper arm and another to pull forearm/ wrist area to re-articulate the joint. I've had a lot of injuries and that was easily the most painful.  If Gary had dislocated his elbow, he would miss several weeks. If he hasn't torn ligaments,  that's great news.

1. Ow

2. May I ask HOW?????

A combined 43 for 77, 453 yards, 0 TDs, 3 interceptions, 56.9 passer rating.

17 total points.

That looks like a Jordan Love - Geno Smith QB battle.

Rodgers and the D have gone opposite George.

I was on an extension ladder hanging Christmas lights at the second story when it slipped out from under me. Lucky I didn't kill myself.

+++ 40 plus minutes time of possession

+++ Preston abused Duane Brown in the first half

+++ Where was Kevin King? Hardly heard his name.

+++ Amari caught the ball and ran north/south several times

+++ Stokes with several PDs; Amos was excellent

+++ Dillon with yards after contact

+++ D-line seemed to be disciplined all game and stay in their lanes

--- AR looked like he missed 10 days

--- Dillon had a really nice game but I thought he was running high a lot, especially on short yardage

--- O-line was not particularly good in the pass or run blocking; AR under a fair amount of pressure with 4 man rushes and the RBs took a lot of hits early

--- Where the hell is Deguara and what is his role in the offense? Is he a blocker? Fullback/H-back? Pass catcher? 

--- Didn't seem to be any issues on the Crosby miss other than he missed it. Can't do that from that distance.

+
Lambeau Field crew. Did a lot of work in a short amount of time, and only the Seasucks had slippage problems.
Victory at home, over a hated rival, in less than ideal weather.
Defense. What more can be said about their effort and results? And pitched a shutout tonight! Attaboys and ass-slaps all around!

-
Rodgers had a subpar game. Whatever the reason(s). I hope he benefits from a week of practice.
Deguara. EKB mentioned a play above; another was on a pass attempt early in the second half, an unblocked pass rusher (Wagner?) forced ARod to throw it away. On replay it looked like that was Deguara's responsibility. And wasn't he the guy that Rodgers was chewing out after an incomplete attempt?
Short yardage rush attempts were limp.

--
Injuries. Not only the number, but that they're concentrated mainly on defense is killing us. Jones is an obvious big loss, but to lose Gary would hurt more. To lose both Gary and Mercilus for any length of time would be a killer.
We've got the bye coming up in 3 weeks, and that will be the last chance for guys to get as healthy as they can for the home stretch and post season. It would be nice to have Daktari and Z back by then.

+

Defense. AR played poorly but the game was really a good example of how a good defense increases the margin for error at the QB position (see: Brady, Tom).

Dillon. Biggest surprise has been his emergence in the passing game.

-

ST Need to get it cleaned up before the postseason.

Injuries, although the late news on the front is somewhat positive.
