Gut Reactions: 2013 Week 7

Aaron's gut reactions from the Packers' win over the Browns.

  • Obviously, the number one thing on a lot of Packers fans minds is the well-being of Jermichael Finely. I truly hope he's ok.
  • I have to be honest, I missed much of this game due to my responsibilities at the day job so there will be few reactions. 
  • Love what Eddie Lacy has brought to this team. 
  • Bakhtiari has played well, but he struggled in the run game today, from what I saw. 
  • Nice to see Boykin get involved and to see how genuinely happy Jordy Nelson seemed to be about Boykin's first touchdown. 
  • AJ Hawk is the freaking man. 
  • Seriously, Clay Matthews has not played the last two games and the defense has looked as good if not better than ever. Yes, there was the patented late-game "oh no could they end up giving it all away?" feeling, and yes, Brandon Weeden is terrible. But Capers is plugging guys in week in and week out all over the secondary and the linebacking group and he's getting results. 
  • Speaking of the secondary, Davon House and Sam Shields were hella fun to watch today. 
  • Loved seeing Mike Daniels getting a big sack. That's the Cheesehead TV bump at work!
  • I hope everyone who attended Throwback Weekend had a great time at the game!
  • Two big divisional matchups the next two weeks. Hope we get one or two guys back, but I love this team no matter who lines up. 
  • A point on that - a lot has been made of the injuries, and for good reason. But as long as the offensive and defensive lines are healthy and playing well, and Aaron Rodgers is upright, this team is going to challenge people week in and week out. There are a lot of fanbases that would love to be able to say that. Enjoy this. 
  • Go Pack Go.

I heard JF had feeling in and was moving all of his limbs so that is great news. Wow, can I tell we are banged up on both sides of the ball. Despit scoring 31 points the offense looked out of sync. luckily that will improve as they play and practice. Heck, just look at how much better Boykin was today. The d-line and ILB still looked good, but the coverage is still weak. If not for Weeden being wildly inconsistent and the Browns receiverz dropping wide open passes, this would've been a very different game. Still, I am very confident going forward and I love our running game.

That Browns D is quite good (lowest yards per play allowed on D in the league coming in), and we hung 31 on them with several backups. It wasn't always pretty, but it was a nice blue-collar win out there today, IMO.

Great team win. The depth on this team is insane. Mulumba really looked good. And Lattimore continues to impress.

Sick to my stomach over Finley's injury. Not even going to speculate about anything. Just hope he's okay.

First and foremost. I am hoping everything with Finley is well. 2nd I hope he doesn't miss much time if any.

I really love what I have seen from Lattimore. He is really fast, and seems to always be in the right place at the right time. I think when Jones comes back Capers will find ways to use Lattimore also. Maybe bringing back the big oakie.

I really like Mulumba. I think he is going to be really good. He is raw but I see a lot of potential. Also I was pleasantly surprised with Palmer. I thought he held his own against arguably the best LT in the league. He is more raw then Mulumba but I was happy with what I saw from him today.

Great team win today.

The biggest difference in my opinion is Johnny Jolly. The whole defense has toughness to them they haven't had since Jolly has left.

The run defense has been phenomenal especially when you consider last year they were gashed by the run.

Also, very happy with the win, but hugely disappointed with all the untimely penalties. Most penalties were on the starters or second stringers, not where you might expect with the band of misfits we've had to fill the injuries.

Hyde running down Gordon from behind, with Gordon (a 4.3 guy) in full stride? I seem to recall a certain strength and conditioning coach calling Hyde a marginal athlete. There's clock speed and there's game speed, Hyde's a gamer and I'm glad he's on our team!

I do believe this is the second golden age of the Packers... enjoy enjoy.

I forgot which poster predicted a Shields shutdown,but he was spot on! Can we talk about this Lattimore guy for a sec.? When Brad Jones gets back what does the coaching staff do with Lattimore? He DESERVES snaps/PT. He looks damn good in coverage. If it wasn't for the conditions,I think Hyde would have gotten a pick or two. Is Raji making his money vs. the run 'cause I don't hear his name much at all. Banjo > MD Jennings. What's up with Franklin only getting the end of the 1st half trash time? Something's going on. We're now down to Nelson,Jones and Boykins. Does Rodgers subconsciously like it this way?

In the Packers' version of the 3-4 defense, he's usually supposed to eat up blocks so that the linebackers can make the plays. If linebackers are making plays between the guards, it's at least partly due to Raji's work.

- God, I hope that J-Mike is ok. HIs shaking after the play was downright scary. I'm not a man of god, but if I was, I'd pray for his health.

- Micah Hyde made some mistakes today, but he also made some big plays. Dude is a gamer and a great addition to this team long-term.

- Lattimore continues to impress. Not polished, but a football player.

- A-Rodge looked like he's back to normal today after his recent "hiccups". Hung tight in the pocket, made some nice throws.

- It is some kind of fun to watch Eddie Lacy pound for first downs and just run the ball in general. The man is a horse and a great draft choice by TT. Smart runner. Seems to have grown confidence in himself and from his team-mates.

- AJ Hawk has finally reached his potential both mentally and physically. Wow.

- Speaking of confidence, I wish I would have picked up Boykin on my fantasy team. After last week's debacle, he looked like a top 3 receiver out there. Great leaping catch on 3rd down.

- Our D LInes is something special against the run. Datone Jones showed up today. Mike Daniels is ever better. Jolly just straight up plugs holes.

- I hope Jermichael Finley is ok.

I am hoping and prayng for Finley's health. Man, from the start of the game he just seemed to have that extra something special today. It was weird. He really energizes the team and played a hell of a game today. I had flash backs to Tim Lewis, Sterling Sharpe and most recently Nick Collins. All these involved neck injuries. Again, say a prayer for this guy even if you aren't religious. It can't hurt. This guy puts it all out there every single game. I hope this isn't as serious as it looked.

My only complaints...

• Jeff Triplett's entire crew is awful. Bogus spot (then upheld) on fake punt, bogus holding call on Barclay (by Triplett) on big play to Finley, bogus facemask on Hawk, semi-bogus continuation PF on T Williams, and just general terrible spotting of the ball all game long (only once did it hurt the Browns).
• Jennings has ZERO instincts and largely is just running around on the field waiting for someone else to make a play/tackle. I'm sure there's more to it, but don't understand why Banjo isn't starting or subbing A LOT more than he is. Jennings gave up an easy TD to Cameron (and smashed into Burnett in the process) that Banjo later defended perfectly.

Officiating was pretty bad today.

To be fair, too, that penalty on the play that Finley got injured was a bad call. It wasn't helmet to helmet, Finley wasn't defenseless either.

Overall I felt officiating was poor. At least it didn't cost us a win.

I definitely don't think it was a cheap shot, (see: Merriweather, Brandon), but at this point I don't even know what the rule is (sort of like a TD catch). Finley went across the middle and got hit, I think, helmet-to-helmet. Isn't that a penalty?

The way Finley's injury happened left my wife and I absolutely stunned. Just goes to show once again that there are more important things than football. I find myself glad that Green Bay gave him the 2 year/16 million contract in 2011.

I'm praying that he'll be ok as a father and a husband first.

Hope he can come back really soon as an effective employee of the Green Bay Packers a distant second.

I feel the same as everyone else. Hoping Finley is ok. I heard he was feeling ok, and had feeling everywhere. So hopefully a good outcome.

Random thoughts on the day.

Lacy is by far the best RB we have had since Ahman Green. He is a perfect fit for this offense.

Great to see Boykin show what he can do. I thought he would be good, but glad to see him show it.

This I think is the Packers best rookie class ever under Thompson.
Jones is starting to create some more pressures.
Lacy should at the very least be candidate for OROY.
Bakhtiari has been very impressive. Franklin will play a lot more and has shown promise. Once they figure out how to use him, he will be very good.
Hyde has been very impressive.
Mulumba although raw has shown me a lot.

This is the Hawk I saw in college. Sucks it took him this long to play this way in the Pros. But he has been simply outstanding these last few games.

Lattimore looks like he should be a starting ILB. To be fair before the season I thought he might get let go because I never saw much from him at ILB. I was dead wrong. The guy is very good.

The safety/secondary position looks so much better when Burnett is playing. He to me is playing at a pro bowl level right now.

Overall, great win. Couldn't be much happier with the win. Just wish Finley wouldn't have gotten hurt.

Completely agree. The DL has been extremely good.

Through six games this year, both lines have played more than adequately. I'm just surprised now when the other team gets more than 5 yards on a run.

Lattimore just chases everything down. Great effort. Hyde always seems to be around the ball.

Won by 18 with a ton of talent inactive. It'll be interesting to see how the revamped D-line will do next week against Peterson.

Hope to see Finley back soon. He's tougher than some think.

AR was back in form today. It's worth watching every second he's on the field.

Thought Tramon's penalty was stupidly excessive. His mental errors continue to hurt the team. Don't think Tramon's a bad guy, but this D would be stellar if he could play up to his former status.

I don't think Tramon knew the guy dropped the ball. I could see that the WR body was obstructing his view of the ball or the receiver catching it. So Tramon made the tackle as if the guy caught it. And he thought the aggressive tackle caused the receiver to drop it. I thought it was pretty obvious that's what happened. So IMO, I didn't think it should have been a penalty at all.

I've been hard on him, real hard, but, I've had a big AJ Hawk framed picture hanging on my wall amongst Packer greats for years. I never felt like he should be up there with them, but I've just left it hanging. This year I've realized, there is something to be said for reliability and accountability, even if he wasn't dropping jaws while consistently being available, and doing his job. But this year, this is a different fucking AJ Hawk. He hits people, and they go down... Where he hit them! No QB is safe.... Who knew!?!? And most importantly, when you look at the revolving door that is our LB unit... WE CAN COUNT ON HIM TO BE THERE! The importance of that can't be overstated. It doesn't hurt though that he's not only just available, but also playing like a FUCKING BOSS! I'm gonna leave his pic hanging right where it is, among the legends. Maybe he won't go down as one of our all-time bests, but the dude is a GREEN BAY PACKER, through and through, and I'm glad to have him.

Oh yeah, good win, too!

Well said. He is a beast this year. Even outside of his spotty play in the past, I've always appreciated his resilience. Dude is never injured, which has become rare with this team, not to mention a MLB in the NFL. I can always count on Hawk suiting up on game day.

If you told the team drafting #5 overall next year that they could get a player that would not be a total bust, would hold his own at his position, and would be available for every game - all over an 8 years spand - I cannot believe any GM would turn that down. So many guys drafted around Hawk did not pan out, other have been up and down, and Hawk is still playing well.

Glad to see that he has finally turned it on this year!

Go Pack!

I hope Finley will be okay. The hit looked legal to me. Finley put his head down, leaving little else for the defender to hit.

Who knows with TT whether he'll draft a safety reasonably high next year. If there is no one he likes, he might think Banjo is serviceable or McMillan will blossom. This rookie class looks great so far. Yeah, it is too early to grade, but why should I let that bromide get in my way? In April, I was annoyed with the draft even though I trust in TT. D-line, then RB, good so far. So in the 3rd I am looking for the Best Player at Safety, Center, WR. Nope, even though there were lots of well-regarded players at those positions on the board. Trade down instead, and then OT. I count 5 guys who can start or be excellent back-ups, and a couple more who could stay on rosters in the NFL for years to come or who might blossom in year two. I thought Neal looked very active and Hawk looks very good. Liked Lattimore - he makes the previous draft look better. Love the potential of Mulumba, and thought he and Palmer flashed a bit and didn't get exposed.

i recall a Brown run that looked like it was going to be a decent gainer, and out of the blue he was taken down. You notice when there is a switch from the normal pattern of a developing play, and this play was an out of the ordinary stop for the Packers.
The stopper? Lattimore. The zen master

So we've gone this whole season overcoming major injuries with our depth and youth, promoting from within, and your solution to this new injury is an overpaid, has-been stop-gap veteran?

With Finely being out, does this put Quarless on the line and Bostik in the slot or outside WR?

Hopefully James Jones is back this week and we have Jordy, James, and Boykin to go with Lacy and Quarless.

Praying for J-Mike...

When I think of the word resilient, I think of my Packers. How many teams in the NFL can have the number of injuries the Packers have and continue to compete and win? Whether it be coaching, a deep talent pool or a combination of both, they seem to relish the challenge of next man up. I'm so proud of this team. Kinda feels like 2010..lets hope it ends the same way!

Go Pack!

I say the same thing! A team can lose 1 star player and the media jumps all over. The Pack loses a star AND his replacement and you'll never hear about it, 'Cause somehow they stay competitive. I love this organization.

The media also likes larger markets. They're more concerned with Geno Smith in NY, and Romo in Dallas. Also whatever Tim Tebow is doing.

Watched a lot of football this weekend and couldn't help notice defenders targeting the head but trying to make if look like, oh it was an accident.
I think a lot of it is deliberate. Hey if the guy your trying to cover is making you look bad you take him out of your next contract may look bad.
Can't tell me contracts aren't loaded with incentives for dbacks and they see the dinero slipping away when they try and cover someone they can't.
Hate to think it but I see a trend here of players playing the accident game.

What a game. What other team continues to succeed with so many rookies? Lacy, Franklin, Bahktiari, Bostock,White, Hyde, Banjo, Jones, Mulumba, Palmer...incredible.

YES my solution is with finley out for the year...... TONY GONZALEZ... obviously some ppl dont pay attention to anything outside green bay. outside of jimmy wayne,gonzalez has been most dominent TE in football this year. i know its easy to pound on our chests about how good all of our third stringers look,but in fairness to all of our starters.....we have played arguably the two worst offenses in football balt and clev.....so if anybody thinks were gonna compete for a championship without cobb or finley or bulaga or harris or matthews or hayward or perry or jones or jones again, were gonna need some help at some point, cuz we havent seen the end of the injuries. ps....j mike is walking around hospital room.... says he will be fine

You mean like how Atlanta has repeatedly said they aren't trading Gonzalez and how he has repeatedly said he doesn't want to be traded?

yeah my fault, graham. and gonzalez im sure,would jump through the friggen roof if he was told he had a chance to go to a contender,nfl network has already confirmed that the falcons talked with him about the possibility of a trade. if you have info that he has said no,then your a step ahead of me i guess?
