that sucked all around.

one thing's for certain- it will be a VERY short postseason unless we get cliffy and bulaga back

"They just laid the first egg in 364 Days."

+1,000

I wanted 19-0. The team was capable of it - but not if they don't show up. That gets hard to do week in and week out when everyone is gunning for you. The Shower Crennel took after the game is evidence of how much every team wants to beat GB.

They were outplayed. Out coached. out desired.

I need a beer. Back for a better result next week.

I'm not as depressed as I thought I would be after this game. I hope this game makes the team get pumped up for the remaining games in the season. Offense really has a reason to be mad at themselves today, just waaaaay too many dropped passes. Worst game out of the team all season, and they were in it up until the end.

Anyway, enjoy the win, KC. Packers are on to bigger and better things.

It looked hopeless without Bulaga. Agree that playoffs will be short & bitter without quality play from the tackles.

No chance vs the saints in the playoffs

Finley needs to ride the pine until he gets his head out.
This loss wasn't on the defense, but it's clear they can't win a game for us either. They gave up much more than "garbage yards" today. I think one reason they were "a step ahead" of Capers is that we don't have the guys to get it done. Dom is doing it with smoke and mirrors.
Grant looked good.
Masthay was a beast. 74 yard punt? Wow!
Jordy was jinxed today. Seemed like every penalty called on him was bull.
I don't like these ugly injuries we've been experiencing the past few years. This year isn't as bad as last, but we've definitely had our share.
This loss has been building for some time. We've been overcoming drops and suckage with big plays, which didn't come today. Is weather a factor?
Replace Jennings with Cobb. I know he doesn't run perfect routes like Jennings, but he may not have to. Dude's explosive and unlike everyone else, he was getting it done.

I know this is academic but I think the onsides decision was absolutely the right call. With onsides, you have two different ways to get the ball back: recover or stop on D. With kicking deep, only way is to get a stop on D. The difference in field position will most likely be negligible because of the fact it was a 5 pt game. KC would have been in a prevent no matter where GB started and wouldn't have tightened up until we got to their 30-40 anyways. Not to mention Crosby has been pretty good at onsides, I know a lot of the ones he converts are "surprise" onsides, but seems like he always gives us a chance to recover.

Absolutely a chance vs NO. They are 2 teams trending in opposite directions but Pack will get home field and Saints not good on road and outside ( Lambeau in January anyone.)

Did Capers have a defensive game plan for today's game? It seemed that everything the Chiefs did was successful. Bad tackling, no pressure on Orton all day and messed up coverage by our secondary made for a pitiful showing by the defense. Now add the poor offensive display with Jordy's penalties and Findley's cement block hands and the Packers were doomed to go down in defeat. All of this on top of the fact the Packers were playing for homefield advantage through out the play-offs. It makes me wonder if their hearts were in the game at all.

There are definite silver linings to this loss. I can't say I wanted to lose, but it does remind the team that they are mortal, and that the O can have an off day, and that drops really can cost a game. I like this team better when they are pissed off.

I'm much more concerned about the health of the O line that I am about that performance.

Atleast the saints have a defense. Packers couldn't get pressure on the QB and KC has the worst oline in the league

Hey. Let's look at the bright side. At least they got their christmas shopping done this weekend!

Grant was averaging 5+ ypc. There were a bunch of good reasons to ride him--
1) recievers couldn't hang onto the ball
2) nasty looking swirling winds
3) we were out of offensive linemen and couldn't protect AR
4) might have helped keep that awful looking D off the field

Don't know if it was AR or MM, but someone didn't seem to adjust to the situations all that well.

I, for one, am glad the roof finally caved in on our team. It needed to happen before the playoffs, and on the road against a non-conference opponent was the best way for it to happen. Now, what we need to see is improvement in the next two games as we approach the playoffs. Specifically, the blocking from the tackles, and the lackluster pash rush. The next two games will go a long way to determining the state of mind of our team in the playoffs. We needed to lose one, people. I'm glad we can forget about all that undefeated talk.

Gutted.

D looked a bit gassed 2nd half. Not suprising wih the TOP 1st half. Chiefs had a good gameplan and executed it well. Drops killed us though AR was not at his best.

Challenge now is how we respond. I have faith in the coaches and players but worried about the 0-line now..

Just be glad we don't have New England's defense. Just gave up 167 yards rushing in the FIRST QUARTER!

KC's franchise is saved from a fire and the Packers march along....win loss win

It's amazing. The pack loses one game after winning 17 in a row and all of a sudden they're in trouble?

They had a bad game. Deal with it. No reason they can't run the board the rest of the season.

Not too concerned other than lack of pass rush and o-line injuries. I knew the Chiefs would be fired up with the new coach.

Need to regroup and get healthy. I think they'll be fine.

This is one one game on the Packers' schedule that they can afford to lose. If you had asked me during preseason which game I would have liked to lose over all the others, I would have chosen a week 15 loss against a non-conference opponent on the road.

Huge reason that the Packers lost this game:

Forced 0 turnovers.

The whole team relies on the turnovers. The offense to get momentum. The defense to put the fear into the opposition.

The Pack can win without turnovers, of course, but this team really needs that in a close game.

I did not understand why the Packers did not use all three time outs on defense at the end of the first half. They ended up with the ball, one time out, and 47 seconds. They went into the locker room with that one timeout.

Probably would not have made a difference, but they would have had at least a minute and 15 seconds to work with.

An undefeated season would have been great, but if they win the Super Bowl, who cares if they lost a game on the way?

The rest of the season is at home until Indianapolis.

Seems there must be a bit of irony that Orton played great beating the Packers while the Bears qb sucked going down big to the Seahawks.

No turnovers today for the defense at all. First time that has happened in a long time. The Chiefs did not need to get one dimensional. The Packers never stopped their running game, so the D-backs could not sit on the pass.

The offensive pass interference calls against Nelson were ridiculous.

Newhouse was very, very bad. Got manhandled all game. I won't go so far as to say it was his fault that Sherrod got hurt, but it was par for the course today that it was his assignment who took out Sherrod.

I had the Packers winning but not covering the spread. I felt we could be going up against a perfect storm...
Pack coming off dominating game.
1st game w/o Jennings.
Pickett, Starks, Saine Out.
KC is one of the toughest venues to play.
The emotional lift of KC changing coaches.
KC is a good team missing a QB; enter Orton.
New play caller for KC; Capers had no film.
KC top ten pass defense & good pass rush.

Makes MM's decision making much easier against Lions if the Pack gets the number one seed either this Monday or next Sunday.

The Lions game could be very weird.

The only thing I disagree with is that the Packers should have kicked deep. It's not an easy call by any stretch, but I liked it. The way I see it, you have to make them go three and out either way. The only difference is field position, and if you stop them, you'd have enough time to travel the distance. At least this way, you had a shot at just recovering the ball. Also, the Packers did a good job of not breaking most of the day, but all they needed to do was bend to lose here - and they did.

Folks,

Anyone mentioned how idiotic it was to defer the opening kickoff?? That set the tone right there. Not good coaching today. When you are away, put the ball in the hands of your assets, not let a new coach ride his game plan against your bad D. That game cost MM his coach of the year--not that I or he really care about that, but still...

We we witnessed is the same as all season with our 31st ranked D. The difference is the O can't score +20 or 30 & bail them out.

ADMIT IT - If KC wan't so inept, the score should have been 14-0 to even start.

Every week, the opposing has the same game plan aginst Capers over aggressive rush, clearing the middle of the field letting the QB dink & dunk for 7-12 yards. It's like prevent D for 4 qtr's.

Rarely did we jam the receiver at the line, drop LB's or a D lineman back or play an extensive Nickel.

How do you explain the WR wide open every week?

2nd - Rogers. What is up? Several times he refused to throw short, opting for the long pass, held the ball way too long resulting in poor throws. Granted, he was getting heat, but he has to adjust too.

3rd - MM play calling was in question all day long.

Glad the pressure is off for undefeated season, but lets regroup & figure out how to position for the SB run.

Bears & Detroit will be gunning for us. Hold On Pack. XLV + 1

would they sign a free agent tackle to hopefully add more depth to the line?

Would love to see a TE out an extra Tackle/Guard signed, but who???? Hello Mark T, are you home?

'Cmon Ted, we NEED the depth on O line

I think Finley was a major cause of the offense not being in sync. Aaron kept trying to go back to him to spark everyone but Finley's drops were depressing. I think the best way to let Finley know he needs to get his act together now is to start an OCCUPY FINLEY movement.
Register your displeasure with his performance in a respectful and professional way by contacting his agent Blake Baratz at The Institute of Athletes.
I know some will say he knows about his performance, but my past 30 years of dealing with individuals that have an enourmous go is that only an avalanche of input changes their perspective and effort. We actualy need him till the season's over, hopefully not one & done in the playoff's. After the season TT can make his decision.
Blake can be reached at 646-302-7287 or by snail at 3600 Minnesota Dr Edina MN 55435. Blake is also on Linkeden and twitter. I'm not aware of his email. Remember if you contact Blake use respect. Agents talk to their money trees often.

Hasn't Finley been dropping all year, including training camp? I am not a WR coach, but something is up with him?

Who leads the team in drops as a % of targets?

i'm tired of being negative all the time.

i understand that this team has just gone 19-1.

but all year long i've had a funny feeling that this isn't going to end well.

there are a lot of ways to win a title, but it seems to me that this team is not good in some crucial areas... they don't have a good offensive line. they don't have a good defensive line. they don't get to the qb.

i have a hard time believing that they can rely solely on rodgers being otherworldly, and the defense getting a bunch of turnovers.

if either of those things don't occur, there's going to be trouble.

maybe i'm wrong. maybe they can ride that formula all the way to a title. maybe this is what the nfl is now. maybe -in my old age- i haven't yet caught hold of the fact that 'winning in the trenches' is a thing of the past.

when i watch the packers i see a finesse team. a group that will run around you or trick you or out-scheme you. i don't see a team that will run through you or pound you or do things to you against your will.

last year was different.
at the end of last season this team would come up and hit people in the face.

i don't see the same physicality. this is the root of my negativity.

we shall see how this all turns out but i have a funny feeling that their fate is a 20-17ish type loss to a team that sticks to it's game plan, takes care of the ball, and proves to be more physical.

Flukes happen.

The only thing that makes me laugh today is the people that were thinking Mike Neal is a savior!!! The guy is just a swing backup as the scouts were thinking...........

A loss at week 14 is not the end of the story... The only goal is a win the first Sunday of February!

+1 on Neal. A back up at best and I am a Purdue guy. I really wanted Neal to make it.

31st ranked D. The rest of the league has caught up with Capers.

Hard to imagine that only the loss of Jenkins & Collins have had such a effect?

If anyone was curious as to what would happen if our Offense didn't show up and our Defense didn't get a take away, there you have it.

Forget the Franchise tag... Finley can just go away.

GBP 4 LIFE

Everything's gonna be fine! 364 days between losses! I'll take that ANY time.

The next streak starts Christmas day. Here's to the NEXT 364 days!

I want to see some variance in the pass rush..teams are shifting help over to the RT side to deal with Clay but our D coordinator doesn't seem to have him rush the gaps instead of the edge all the time.

Definitely need some d-linemen and maybe an OLB who can generate a pass rush on the opposite side of Clay in next years draft.

Starting with the Lions game we have provided the blueprint for teams to beat us. Each week (exception last week) this blueprint has improved for the opposition. With the inability to cover TE's and RB's week in and week out we will never be able to make it to the super bowl. I have no doubt McCarthy will improve the offense from what we saw today, but how will he light a fire under our zombie defensive coordinator Capers? I think in essence that this is the problem, McCarthy is willing to change his schemes and Capers is not. This is the reason you can see Dom Capers' defenses for which he has coached fall in rankings year after year which usually lead to his termination to the job.

I think we will be fine. One loss is no reason to jump off a bridge. If we get healthy for the playoffs we'll be fine.
Remember all dome and fair weather teams have to go through GB in January. Had we forced one or two turnovers, and a few less drops the game would be different.
XVL here we come!! GO PACK GO!!!
