Geez, is everyone still in shock?

 

+

Obviously, the win.

Downtown Datone Jones - I think he's finally not a bust.

Tretter finally assuming his rightful throne from the false prophet.

D played well even with a few first downs. (Every Defense ever has given up plays at some point - shocking I know)

 

-

Rodgers and WRs still not all the way back.

Great ideas rooted in love.(R)

Crosby getting the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on Patterson
Jones keeping his feet in bounds
Janis! drawing the long pass interference penalty

-

Linsley's injury
Bakhtiari's play in general
3d and 1

Pass rush returned and thus the defense dominated. Hadn't seen that pass rush since the Rams game

 

Finally good to see them get Lacy going. Need that to continue going forward if this offense is ever going to get out of its funk

 

Offense was better, but still not that good. Stalled a ton, needed Vikes penalties and spectacular catches in tight windows to move the ball....bad drops and miscommunication on routes. Just needs to be better but they made enough plays today

Lacy healthy(er)

Dom doesn't prevent

Datone, Daniels, hell, the whole D. Front 7 were relentless.

Shields, heads up play on the fumble tapping it into space for the easy recovery

3rd downs on offense

running Eddie to the right

Cobb drops

still trouble with TEs in the middle

 

 

I'm sure there's more but, I gotta watch the tape.

Positive? 4 quarters of solid, playmaking football. And not nearly as good as they're capable. When Rodgers gets his sh*t fully together and Cobb and Adams disengage their heads from their posteriors, they'll start to look like the team we thought they could be.

Welcome back Eddie... We missed ya.

Positives:

No matter the score or how they do it a win over the spermheads makes everything right in the world

Lacy running with purpose

The defense was physical and knocked the other QB around

Solid run D

 

Negatives:

Injuries

+

Dom's D really answered the bell today.   Nice to see the "D" repaying the "O" for previous wins.  Good for Dom and the Packers; they needed it for certain.

Matthews...I thought he was great.  But he has been really great this season.  And he seems to emerging as a leader.

D-Backs; D-Line; and LBs all did well

HHD has upped his performance since the sideline incident two weeks ago

Crosby's stellar performance and to think a couple years ago he was a ?

Lacy's getting back in the groove...at least for this game

Seemed the Offense was getting their old confidence in the 4th quarter

Jones's two big catches

Nice to see Peppers, Matthews and Ha-Ha on the bench enjoying each other company.

 

 

-

Dropped passes:  Cobb??  Jones??   What's up with these?

Not much from TE production

WR's just not getting open

Some play calls on 3 & 1:  Seems like forgot the screen pass as the game went on

Not being able to get more TDs when it counted

Rodgers: I think he is having trouble with his throwing arm.   In the Detroit game, I noticed early that he grabbed his shoulder and it wasn't just to adjust his pads.  Tonight, we noticed on several passes he was "side-arming" the throw.  If there is an injury to his right-arm it would explain his inconsistent and unnatural inaccuracies and his reluctance to run when the field is wide open ahead of him.

S/Ts allowing some large kick returns.

 

 

+++++++++ a thousand plusses if this represents putting crazy Uncle Dom back in the attic

B.J. Raji on D: "We came in as the hunters today. We always used to getting hunted. We had a different mentality and it worked in our favor"

+Huge win.  They lose this and the division title becomes incredibly tough. 

 

-Only watched the second half but the passing game was still sub par.  Outside of the Jones TD, not a whole lot to be excited about.  Really hope this gets fixed.  At this point, it's not just the WRs; Rodgers needs to get his head out of his ass and make it work.  

 

+Front 7 was fantastic.  I read they didn't have a sack in their 3 losses.  I'm sure that was an emphasis this week.  

 

-Maybe nitpicking here, but hate when the CBs play off and give the WR a free release.  Saw it on a 3rd and long completion on a crosser where Randall played off an never had a chance to make a play.  Happened a lot in the Chargers game too.  

 

+Crosby.  Nails.  The last FG that pretty much ended the game was not easy; 53 yarder outdoors in the cold.  

 

-Tight End coverage.  Just ugly.  

+  I was rong once again in picking the winner.

 

-  Queens have some good young core players.

   They no longer are coached by Brad Childress.

   I likely will not get a rebound chance with Olivia.

+ Got a win they desperately needed, control the division

+ Defense was outstanding, pass rush, coverage and especially run defense

 

 

- Offensive line. Too many negative runs, too much pressure on Rodgers

- WR's still not in sync with Rodgers

- 3rd and short. Combination of Lacy missing holes and the offensive line missing blocks

+ The defense. The Vikings didn't test the defensive backfield depth, heck I don't remember seeing Rollins at all, but all the front-seven guys got a lot of snaps and held up extremely well.

 

+ They made plays when they needed to.

 

+ Tretter held up well.

 

+ The mouthy Queens fans will be awfully quiet tomorrow.

 

- The tackles are still struggling.

 

-Cobb keeps dropping balls.

 

- The offense is still trying to get back in synch.

+ Dom's 1990's genius defense pwned Norv's 1990's genius offense (seriously, think about it)

 

- Rodgers and Cobb are still pressing too much. Especially Randall. He wants to win and make plays so badly he's overthinking instead of just reacting.

 

- For the future: don't think he'll ever be elite and he's got a popgun arm but Bridgewater impressed me tonight. Got the hell knocked out of him but kept competing. I had no idea he is as elusive in the pocket as he showed.

WIZARD!  PAY THE **** ATTENTION!

Tretter

Pass rushers reappear

Rushing lanes and 30 points vs a good defense

The goals - Win at home, dominate the division, make a run in the playoffs - are intact

220 yards worth of FGs by Mason

It's only a handful....they live to cry and whine when the Packers are doing poorly. Must be real fun watching a game in person with them.

Packers finally showed up to play and let Vikes know they're still big kid on the NFC Norse block.

+D dominates on a Team win

- Injuries

+Injuries forced other players on field who made plays.

+Lacy reboots

-O still leaving a lot of plays on field.

+Crosby is $$

-Special Teams wasn't

+Felt soooo good to get off the snide @ Minnehaha

+ offense showing signs of life.   They will get hot as the 2nd season approaches.

+ Lacy showed some heart and more importantly some vision.

+ Jones again.  Savior of the season so far.

+ Tretter came in and held his own.

+ Up and down the field against a top D on the road.

+ Entire D minus Micah Hyde.

 

- Cobb, he shouldn't be targeted as much as he is.  

- Micah Hyde.  Let the kids play, he just isn't good enough.

Just thought of this, the Packers intimidated the Vikings.  Why?  They finally treated this game like a rivalry game.  The way they punished AP, smashed Bridgewater, they played more aggressive and wanted it more.

 

And I'm sure they heard about the Vikings and the media ready to crown them already.  Nope.

Win the Super Bowl, then please retire....PLEASE

 

The offense, still isn't right. 

 

Clements....we're looking at you

I am.

Bridgewater missed 2-3 easy TD's. When we play Rivers, Manning, and the like, they don't. And we can't depend on the opposing QB being marginally talented to win games.
