The good, the better and the probably shouldn't mention it.

It's all good....except for the injuries.

And the defense is a tad suspect.....THEY NEED TO GET BETTER WITH TACKLING.  and it seems I’m always yelling that.  

D actually got some stops in first half and third quarter. Fell apart

i did not like the drops and obv the injuries, otherwise:

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME. i love the jet sweeps, ervin, our rb room, de guara, krys barnes? i mean, i can't even spell all the new guys' names!! and 12 & 17, en flic.

+++ - A big win in the division.  Rodgers sharp.  Play calling.  Running back reps spread out.  

- - -  Injures.   Prevent D prevented the offense from getting rest.   Play clock timeouts.  

O-line, especially with the injuries, was outstanding. Zero sacks given up.

ADAMS, finished tied atop Packers history with Don Hutson with 14 catches in a game.

PACK 1-0

Vikes 0-1

Football obviously isn't a fix for the fix we are in, but it certainly helps.

I missed this feeling.

Some bad drops were the only real blemish for the offense. Saw some good things from the rookies.

Defense has some work to do.

Aaron Rodgers targeting the WR position only today: 22-of-27 for 315 yards and four TDs. The 81.4 percent rate was his best since Week 14 of 2016, the 315 yards his best since Week 10 of 2016 and the four TDs his best since Week 4 of 2017.

Should have scored 80

Clark being out was critical to this defense struggling. In this situation, someone like a Montravious Adams should be able to step up, and while not equal production, should be journeyman enough to be respectable.

But that's not the case because the Packers have been absolute diarrhea on toast when it comes to D&D DL. Lowry...Lancaster...Keke....Adams...

Rodgers looked elite today!!! 

I thought Runyan did well after Taylor was injured. 

Our offense never went 3 and out today, so that's extremely encouraging to see.

Good news: Packers offense is back

Bad news: Packers defense is back

Can’t spell skol without an L.

I didn't notice Runyan. Or Wagner.

That's a good thing.

+ no drive killing penalties.  Pack was only "behind the chains" once all game.            +has anyone ever caused more offside penalties than AR?                                                +didn't seem like the lack of preseason games made much difference.

Krys Barnes had 7 tackles, including 2 for losses.

Peter Bukkake postulates Snacks has decided to sit out 2020 cuz the 'rona...too bad...he'd be a nice stop-gap for KC being out a while.

Mike Daniels is playing for the Bengals

Bryan Buluga is with the Chargers.  

Taylor’s injury didn’t look that bad but from his and teammates reactions I think it is.  Maybe time to bring in Britt who they worked out recently if he can provide some depth at several positions.

Too expensive 

Agree with a couple above. O line just outstanding at every level. I mean 74 acts like he should have been a 1st rounder.

He’s played more than center I think but not sure?  Never liked an early bye week but with the lineman injuries on both sides today maybe week 5 is good.

Here's to the one good thing to hopefully come out of this pandemic:  No more pre-season games, ever.

Viking fans are whining is disagreement.

Until @Henry provides me with an alternative, it's going to remain in the rotation.

Today was a good day for Snacks and  Jered Veldheer.

Does Petine make it through the year with the score at will defense he threw out there. The only thing that saved them was the offense got far enough ahead and only had to punt once. It is sad that you dont feel good with a 20 pt lead with 11 minutes left.

Yup.  Pretty crisp for first game of the season.

RubeChat is priceless today. Worth a visit

I already showered once today.

Most games had a lot of scoring today. Unusual as the defense usually has the advantage early in the season

I only saw bits not being able to find a good stream.  I know min's corners are pretty bad right now but there were some good signs from La2ard and MVS showing they can at a minimum take advantage of their matchups.  They actually looked legit.

They keep saying the Packers aren’t that good.

Few guys looked like they had some rust that maybe would have been shaken off by preseason. I expect we will see improvements from some key vets like Kirksey, Wagner, MVS, Amos, etc. Didn’t think the OL was bad though with Wagner and Runyan in, surprisingly good actually. They were facing a depleted Vikings DL, probably won’t be the same for the second meeting, but I’m happy with them. 

Saw some of the same problems, OLBs set good edges but no ILBs filling lanes. Gotta improve that, but honestly there’s a lot of new faces at ILB that there may be an adjustment period. 

Was a weird defensive day though. Looked good sometimes, made some big plays, but just lost all energy by Q4. Calls weren’t ideal from Pettine in some situations (lots of break, less gas), but overall it seemed like the players just let up. 

They're not. But they're better than the Vikings
