Thanks to John Harbaugh. Head scratching decisions that benefitted us.

Not kicking that fg, going for it on 4th and 5 from their own 28 with most of the 4th quarter left, then that horrid 2 pt play when we couldn't contain running Huntley.

No surprise, but Division Champs!

You have to come prepared every week in the NFL. Look at Arizona. Browns and lions will give us their best.

This team has to tighten things up before we hit the playoffs. Dallas, LA, Brady, etc will capitalize on soft defense and shitty ST

Congrats to MLF and team for winning the division. Refocus on Cleveland. Should be a great one on Christmas!

You could really see the frustration on MLFs face after the delay of game on that 4th quarter punt.  

He needs to accept that the best course right now is to cut ties immediately.  Give the next guy 3 weeks to dial it in and ensure we can just be fundamentally sound going into the playoffs.  

Playing King, Lazard, Jones, and Dillon on teams is great but not the solution.

Very good win against a tough opponent in a loud stadium with lots of injuries.

Kenny Clark's agent had a great day

Aaron Rodgers (yeah he missed Lazard) needs to be signed to whatever deal/contract required to keep him a Green Bay Packer until he decides to retire

I crapped on Deguara a lot, but he's made a lot of strides not just catching the ball but being in the right place, making some blocks.

Special Teams hasn't cost a game, yet. But my god.

DL without Clark get very little pressure and was manhandled much of the game.

Easy to bitch about Savage, but I dunno, maybe make some sort of adjustment

I would bring in another guy but considering the time I'd have ST doing nothing but practicing catching and covering. That's it. 

I'd also make the long snapper practice until his fucking arms ached.

I think the way the D played was out of necessity with Clark out.

Baltimore has really fast receivers and a TE that is a mismatch for the Packers. Without Clark I think Barry knew it was going to be a challenge to get consistent pressure and had our CB playing off all day so as not to get beat deep.

It almost got us beat, but it didn’t.

In the heat of battle, it's easy to lose sight of the big picture.
It wasn't a good game for the Packers defense, but it is somewhat expected when they are still a MASH unit, and didn't have perhaps their best player available.

Maybe we'll learn more about some other factors that played a part; for instance, did Barry have a poor scheme for this game, or did the Ravens OC smoke him?
Was there not enough preparation for Huntley? Or was it just poor execution?

In any case, this defense is going to struggle at times. Perhaps it will become better if JA and or Z can return, and we certainly know it's much better when KC plays.
But I think most, if not all, remaining games will hinge on offensive production, and scoring enough points to win. Some may require 24+ points, some may require 30+.

Molson is already on the PS. The team has protected him there every week.

Thanks for that info. I know teams don't like to spend an active game day spot on an extra specialist, but there was a time when some teams did it. I guess it depends on how confident they could be in Molson kicking touch backs significantly more times than Mason does.... before today he is 26th in that category with 43 % of his kicks touchbacks.

It's nearly impossible to judge this defense harshly with KC out. Seems like so much of what they do well is predicated on him being the anchor inside. He's the main reason Campbell has been free to roam and make plays. He's a big part of covering up for deficiencies in the secondary. And his absence speaks directly to Aikman's comments about DL guys getting flushed inside for Huntley to bounce it to the sideline. With Clark in there, GB isn't as forced to pick one poison or another.

As painful as it is to watch TEs scorch the defense, Andrews is a matchup nightmare right up there with Kelce, Kittle, Gronk, etc. A healthy Clark and Alexander might allow Barry some flexibility in how they approach that issue as well as the dual threat qb.

Rodgers spoke much of the year about the offense being close. I'm thinking similar of the defense at this point. They've played with patchwork most of the year. We won't see them flourish without getting guys back in time for the playoff push.
