Injuries
Pass blocking in first half
Rodgers in the first half
4th quarter defense
Kuhn not knowing the rules
(+)
Literally everything about the defense. Yeah that 4th and 21 sucked but it was clearly flukey.
Run game - (in happy gilmore voice): "Packers learned how to run, uhh ohhh!"
Rodgers won a game by 2 pts. That play to Finley on 3rd was incredible. He earned that win after a so-so performance up to that point.
(-)
Is the consensus that Cobb is done for the year? Or is there some hope?
McMillian on that 4th down was brutal. Didn't have a particularly good game otherwise either.
+
Linebackers step up in Matthews absence, especially Hawk.
Lacy with another 100yd game.

Injuries!! (I know injuries are part of the games, but the Packers have been especially plagued the last few years.)
AJ Hawk was worth 5th overall draft pick!!
disclaimer: If he plays every game like today
AJ Hawk definitely was a positive. Played very, very well. Perhaps CMIII was holding him back? Lots of game balls on the defensive side today.
Still concerned that being so two dimensional on offense is holding the team back.
Two key third down conversions on the final drive to put the game away--against a good defense, on the road. Character builder.
quote:Rodgers won a game by 2 pts.
I've always been a huge fan of Hawk! Glad everyone got to see what I've known all along. This day was coming. Called it. I know football!
After Lacy's last run, Packers GM Ted Thompson, seated behind us, slammed his hand in excitement.
McCarthy describes Micah Hyde as "definitely the frontrunner" for officially winning the punt return job.
Sounds like #Packers WR James Jones dodged a bullet with his injury. He's indicated to people that he's OK.

Who would you prefer out of that draft, Mario Williams is a stiff, Bush has never lived up to the billing, Michael Huff??????, or how about Vernon Davis, I wouldn't take him or Brickshaw. But I guess Hawk is an easy target for the haters
Please, COBB, just have a severe knee sprain and miss 3-4 weeks!
PLEASE!
This was a big boy win. Maybe the best regular season win of MM's tenure given all the injury adversity. Kudos to both lines for coming up big when it mattered. IMO nothing beats physical football and to see our team evolving in that direction is exciting stuff.

It's right up there with the 34-0 win over the Vikings in 2007 (week after Peterson set the yardage record) and that 9-0 road victory over the Jets in 2010 when they just about as beat up as they are now.
Big Ern in the red zone with the dagger.
I've graduated him to average/borderline capable starter. His pass protection is still weak but you can win a Superbowl with a good scheme and balanced offense. Showed some signs of life on running for tough yards up the gut. Lacy, Franklin, Starks (when healthy) with a smothering defense (tweaks to safety, Hayward coming back)? Great Googly moogly.
Defensive line impressed the hell out of me. Just getting better. It's a Jolly time defense.
---- ugly, ugly game all around
++++ a great and very important win

JK!
+ AJ Hawk, not just sacks, bone crunching hits all day.
+ entire DL run defense.
+ oline , run blocking only.
+ Eddie Lacy.
- McMillan in the 4th.. Please put in Banjo.
- MM stuborness. Play calling and still going 3 WR when Jones went out.. AQ > Boykin.. Go two TE set and pound the rock, Mike.. He was forced to do so after Cobb sent out and we started rolling.
- #12, accuracy is off, clock mgt. Need more from him.

Crosby again, DL is dang good right now, House, Shields, Burnett and Hyde, Hawk (who is that guy and what has he done with Hawk?), LACY, Jordy, Finley, Perry, Mastey, No Buck and no Aikman, Play Action makes a huge reappearance, good refs, holding ravens to 2-17 3rd downs, final drive to close em out
_
INJURIES (snakebit), Pass Protection, losing Charles Johnson off the practice squad same week as losing Cobb, mcmillon (again)
Eddie Lacy is 1st @packers rookie to rush for 99+ yards in consecutive games since 1971 (John Brockington)
Jerron McMillian said the #Packers didn't get a defensive play call in on the TD to Dallas Clark after the long pass the play before.
Davon House said the #Packers took him out on defense because they were playing nickel on early downs and he is a punt jammer. Not benched.
Mike Daniels: “I don’t ever want to hear that s-word around here again. You know what I’m talking about."

Unlike Samson who crashed and burned after a haircut The Hawk vastly improved....does MM bring hair clippers into the locker room next week? I can think of a few dreaded up guys that it could help. And maybe, just maybe it could get #52 back on the field sooner.
Positive. DL, Hawk, secondary play since Burnett returned. Goal line stand. Lacy. Rodgers coming up big when he needed to. Viking fan quote from Star Tribune, "Josh Freeman is demanding a trade to Tampa Bay"

I've seen the end to that movie too many times.
I ain't getin' my hopes up---it's better that way.
Jerron McMillian said the #Packers didn't get a defensive play call in on the TD to Dallas Clark after the long pass the play before.
Really? They rushed 3 on their own? C'mon, Jerron. How hard is it to know on 3rd and 21, dont' let the guy run behind you?
I ain't getin' my hopes up---it's better that way.
To quote my wife........
Good thing Ted doesn't follow the X4 philosophy.

Does anybody know what this means?
Plus
Hyde played well on D, knows how to return punts (decisive, runs forward not sideways)
Lattimore had several nice open field tackles
Lacy - the big, punishing back who can pound it, difference between a win and a loss
Crosby - missed one, but all his makes this year have split the uprights
Hawk - inspired play, blitzed well, playing faster with less bulk this year
Minuses
Kuhn - says he was trying to make a play, uh OK
pass pro a problem against strong D-lines, although we've faced some of the best so far
Boykin - early drops, although a few throws to him were rushed and off target
predictable quick TD by Ravens once we got a sizable lead
injuries - I optimistically predict 1-2 games out for both
Ultimately, who gives a ****, we won in Baltimore for the first time since I was 9.
Does anybody know what this means?
I believe he's saying he just got done running on special teams when the defense came on the field and they were letting him catch his breath.
Ah.
Thanks
+++
Lacy- did it all. Showed some quickness, speed, power, and smarts at the end not running OOB.
Run D- Ray Rice is a top 3 back and they basically limited him to about 2 YPC. Ridiculous!
Hawk- what got into that guy? Easily his best game as a GBP.
Crosby- more good than bad. He kept us in the game and made the kicks.
---
Kuhn- two bonehead plays that could have cost them.
McMillan- similar to Kuhn, two inexcusable breakdowns at the end.
Jones and Cobb injuries- hope they aren't out too long.
Another + maybe
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet <small class="time">16s</small>
Packers WR Randall Cobb (knee) will have an MRI tomorrow morning, source says. But early indications are that it may not be a major injury
Hopefully young ligaments "stretch" better than old ligaments.
All these reports of good news are probably just regurgitated takes on this one quote:
"McCarthy said. "I'm hopeful for good information tomorrow once we get him back."
Which is classic MM speak for "he'll go on IR and prolly be on the PUP to start next year."
I don't think they are additional confirmations that the news is good.
Unfortunately, FS is pretty much spot on IMO
Negative: Turns out AR12 is human, with pressure he's like every other QB in league. Got to get that protection more solid as mover forward.
The play action however was awesome, offense will continue to evolve and should be clicking come playoffs
"Turns out AR12 is human, with pressure he's like every other QB in league."
I'm just gonna pretend I didn't read this...
I just mean he'll get a little rattled and less accurate. Believe there's nobody else I'd rather have back there.
