I think there were back-to-back "man" drives to end the game. Really, really impressive. I'm certainly not a medical practitioner but Jones' injury came when his leg was planted but Cobb's did not seem so. Maybe Cobb's is not so bad??? I hope they both return quickly. Seems we developed a running game at just the right time

The Packers can't seriously go into next week with only two WRs. If Cobb & Nelson are out for any time at all, what do they do?

That hit on Cobb was ugly. No way he comes out of that without a torn something. I don't expect him back this year. Damn, that's depressing.

CLEAN UP YOUR LANGUAGE.

inside voice.

There is no need for that language on this board, what is up with that anyways.

Or you could remove the stick from your ass. Just a suggestion.

Oh no, not swear words. How will my virgin eyes recover.

Wow. Pretty sure that he has more ownership of the site than you do. What you own is whether or not you visit the site. I don't think you get to tell him how to run his site.

Oh comeon, don't delete where I told DR to EAT SHIT. If you do, you're just letting him win.

If I ever encounter another important 4th and really long with the game on the line, I don't think my heart will survive it.

Is there any worse defense call then a three man rush.

Really DR? 'Clean up your language.' I'm sorry, you should pick up your dress and go hang out at a Vikings or Bears website.

'Clean up your language' he says, rolls eyes.

I agree clean up the language, not necessary. Go AJ, after years of abuse he is really playing well. He might even get an interception next week.

Totally agree about the defense winning games for this team. I remember Clay saying that he wanted that for this defense in an interview. Interesting that it was a Clay-less defensive performance which prompted this gut reaction.

I have been vociferous of my hatred of the 3 man "rush" for years. It works FAR less than the down and distance would otherwise dictate that it should.
I would love if someone with access to advanced metrics would look at all situations of 3rd/4th and 12 or more yards over the past few years, and then look at offense success rates based on 3 man rush, 4 man rush, and 5 man rush. I am willing to bet a big ol' chunk o' change that the 3 man rush actually has the highest percentage of offense success. 8 guys cannot cover 4-5 guys for the length of time required in todays NFL -- the QBs are too good, and the "no touching" rules mean that someone is going to come open in the amount of time that the 3 man "rush" allows the QB to have. Stupid, stupid, stupid. On the other hand, at least a 4 man rush has a pretty good chance of hurrying the throw a little, allowing the back 7 a chance to cover long enough for success.

AJ Hawk is looking like a new man this year. Prior to today, I thought he'd progressed from the low side of "average" to the high side of it. He was outstanding today when they needed him most.

Good to see one of the favorite whipping boy of Packer fans step up with a performance like that.

Agree with the strong performance by Crosby, it was especially encouraging to see him hit clean kicks AFTER the bad miss.

Do you think Masthay's leg is getting tired having to pull double duty with punts and kickoffs and that's why he's not booming the kicks anymore? No idea, just asking.

Some key drops again. The play action to Jordy was a thing of beauty. I think they're still finding their indenity.Looks like 2010.

The ravens are a dirty team. The team should be fined for all those low, I'm taking your knees out hits. Its one thing to tackle its another to stop and let the unprotected receiver run into you at knee level. Zero flags called.

Disagree on whether to consider Driver, IF both Cobb and Jones are gone for an extended period of time. GB needs to look at every option and that includes an old player who knows the offense and will play full throttle. DD can run the right routes, catch the ball and still has a reputation that will keep the competition honest.

The half ton D-Line wall was busy eating a lot of Rice today...yummy!

Overall, I thought the D tackled better today. If one guy missed almost always the next guy didn't. Plus there was a lot more gang tackling today.

I like our chances on 4th and 70.

"McMillian is walking back to Green Bay, right?" Nah, why take the circuitous route, he'll walk directly to Maine.

Agree, they need to scrap the 3 man rush. Heck, I rather see them get beat on a blitz than watch the QB sit in the pocket forever and have clear vision and open passing lanes. Think Rodgers will ever see a 3 Man rush with the game on the line? Me either. And how did Kuhn make the 53 man roster.....He Suuuuuuuucks!

I wasnt sure if last weeks defensive performance could be duplicated, but hats off to Dom Capers for what he has done. They really did their filmwork to keep Flacco, Rice and their big-play receiver T.Smith from having any big plays. Except for that that horrendous 4th and 21. Hello, McMillan, you are a SAFETY, KNOW YOUR ROLE.

Lacy - awesome, Hawk - awesome. House had a really good day. Baltimore musta figured that he was the guy to pick on, because they went at him 3 times in the 1st quarter (and a half?) and he was there to break up passes.

I can never get enough of Rodgers rolling right and zipping it down to Nelson.

Now, is there something about Rodgers that is.....off? Those throws to Boykin, when he was put into the game, I didnt think was all on Boykin. Two of the throws were just badly thrown. And I dont care about the "chemistry between the receivers" crap that Moose kept talking about. They shoulda been better throws by AR.

Also, J-Mike, dont you realize that by going out of bounds, you HELP the other team. Stay in bounds man. It just surprises me that guys continually fail to recognize the situation, and either stay in/get out when they shouldnt.

Nonetheless, defense was great, running game was great, and they FINISHED the game.

Eddie Lacy is a Green Bay Packer.

Haha @ People crying about F bombs. Should have heard me today when JJ got hurt.....or Cobb got hurt.....or Kuhn being retarded...or Boykin dropping pass after pass.....or Jermike not STAYING IN BOUNDS!

Perry came back in the game, so that's a good sign.

I think Ross is the best option for the fourth wide receiver spot. Not that I am particularly excited about it, but he should know the offense enough and is not as raw as White.

Besides as mentioned, this should hopefully force Rodgers under center, which should help the run game and improve the play action. Two TE sets and shift Finley out to the slot, I miss those days and I think it would still be effective.

"stroh. don't jump into dick mode." Stroh is the epitome of dick mode. Where ya been? As I so eloquently stated in my well thought out analysis of the game post in "chips report" McMillan is terrible! Banjo needs to get his snaps in practice and game.

White has some skills ...I'd like to see him at least get a shot. Ross will forever be hated by at least what like 99% of us?

1 game above .500, thankfully finally a winning record! Pray for a speedy return for Jones and Cobb. Great defense today sans the 4th. and 21. Slocum needs to coach up Kuhn's gaff. The Bears still suck!!!

You don't have to win them aesthetically... just win them. That doesn't mean there aren't concerns that remain but this was a "character" win. The challenge moving forward is how the team responds to potentially losing two starting receivers.

Defensively Capers called an outstanding game. I had no problem with the 3 man rush on that 4th down play. Capers utilized that several times during the game in long yardage situations and sure tackling made it work. The bust on that play was McMillan. He didn't gain depth and fell down...plain and simple. The very next play saw Capers rush 5 and McMillan got beat by Clark for the TD. Different number of rushers inserted....same result....big play. I'm critical of the play callers on both sides of the ball but players have to execute too.

Offensively I thought McCarthy called a good game from a design perspective. Taking out Lacy on 3rd and short in the first half is poor mismanagement of talent on McCarthy's part. Lacy was 2 for 2 converting on 3rd and short. I think Franklin will have a role in this offense as the year progresses but as long as Lacy is healthy he shouldn't see the field in those situations. Lacy is quickly proving why I said he should have been the pick in the first round. He was the best back in the draft and is proving it. Ted Thompson was fortunate he was able to get him in the second round.

I certainly hope both Jones and Cobb can bounce back. However, this could be a blessing in disguise or a nail in the coffin for the offense. McCarthy has been called out publicly for his play calling and has taken offense to it. I have always been critical of his inability to attack all areas of the field, most notably the low and intermediate middle areas. I will say he has done a better job the last two weeks. The other area in which I think he is woefully behind the curve is utilization of personnel to create mismatches. With both receivers most likely down for a period of time we will get to see how good of a play caller, play designer and personnel user McCarthy really is. He has pieces. How will he use Finley? Will he use motion to give Nelson free releases? Does he use Franklin on early downs instead of 3rd and short. Does utilize Lacy as a receiver? Will he give Rodgers more progressions that involve a back in the route scheme? There are a lot of questions but the biggest of all is just how good is McCarthy at utilizing the pieces he has? I have never been convinced he has been good at this area. He has relied on the "my guys are better than yours so let's line up and just play." Frankly....that's not going to work anymore. It really hasn't been working well this year. He's had two solid games at play design this year. It has never been more important to keep it going than now. There are no excuses. Brady doesn't even have his biggest threat in the passing game and yet they are able to move the ball. Teams with lesser talent than the Packers have moved the ball and won games. By seasons end we'll know if McCarthy can do the same. It's easy to checkmate with the Queen,Rook or Bishop. It's more impressive to do it with pawns.

What ever happened to "deeper than the deepest"? Pretty easy fucking concept for a Safety. Hell, I get it and I'm not even a washed up strength and conditioning coach.

cobb is done,makes me puke.DIRTY FUCKIN HIT!!!!! and YES,I SAID THAT!!! KIDS UNDER 18,im sorry bout that,dont say that word till you are 18 ok.... johnson was a stiff,myles white however is special talent for those who broke down tape of the preseason. stroh may be a dick,but he pays attention to detail, as do many of us on this site.if this team stays healthy,and gets jennings and mcmillian off field,we win superbowl,unfortunatley we can only overcome so many injuries,even aikman said during his game,he's never seen anyone as snakebit as the pack in all his years.gotta hand it to TT,ive been a bitch about him not addressing our safety issues,but damn... he has really got some amazing depth on that team. doubtful if we could win this thing witout cobb,but when this defense gets healthy, who knows...? Pack Wins FUCK an A!!!!!!

I agree that in this game (season really) Rodgers was a bit off. He seems a bit bull headed and forces the ball in to make the big play instead of taking what is there. Of course, he is so gifted and accurate that often Rodgers can do that. However, the pass protection is well below average, despite the ratings given to the O-line by McGinn and others. Watch the game with a stop watch rather than a beer in your hand and you will find that Rodgers rarely gets to be comfortable in the pocket for the 2.5 seconds to scan the field that MM talked about in preseason, and rarely gets to step up in the pocket or to follow through on his throws. He usually gets into trouble when he steps up in the pocket. Rodgers has great ability to extend plays. We have been spoiled by his pocket awareness. Some have suggested that his pocket awareness is not as good this year, but IMO it simply is because the pocket itself is not as good this year. That being said, the O-line is much better than I thought it might be, particularly in the running game, and I think the tackles are likely to get better, but then my expectations were pretty low.

I'd like to see the stats on Lacy when Rodgers is handing off under center vs handing off out of Shotgun formation.

Annnnnnd another thing! When are we going to start talking about giving Banjo some meaningful snaps? He hits. He flies to the ball. I haven't seen him make any glaring mistakes. I can't say the same about MD Jennings and McMillian (sp?). I'd rather see Banjo or Bush playing along Burnett (who by the way,has the secondary looking totally different from the first 3 or 4 games.

"This team is hard to watch"

"I love this team"

Pick one and stick to it you hypocrite. 4 articles were posted following the Packers game and this was the least informative. Good thing it's called "Gut Reactions" because it contained not one bit of information I hadn't already known.
