Yep. It's hard to shut anyone out, and the Bills made the Vikings pay dearly for turnovers last week.

Why grind Jones down? I don’t get the fury. He is a big game player in his second game with limited preseason work playing in a game that was won by half time.

Monty did some good work catching today. Williams pounds out hard early yards and blocks well. It is a good mix and Williams is the guy to pound it in the 4th in these type of games.

I expect Jones will get more chances earlier as the weeks progress, but I sure as hell like Williams protecting and softening the D up. Love to see some 2 back sets at some point.

I want Jones playing in January, not wasted in dead games in October.

“Give-up plays on 3rd and long” is not an official stat.

Lions are in last place.

Lewis was not great today. Looked like they were giving him more until the drop, when Kendricks appeared more—and seemed to block well.

MM has a Ferrari at QB ,why would he drive a Mercedes?

Lewis totally blew his guy off the line on a running play early in the game.

I am still pinching myself on Fackrell—perhaps his best play wasn’t a sack but the open field take down of Allen.

I’d have to watch the plays again to see if he actually beat his man on any of the sacks before I believe this is not a Wynn moment—good memory by the way.

I am worried about Alexander’s groin. He is a key player already. Josh Jones is clearly not going to unlock his potential till he learns not do commit stupid penalties.

Did anyone else sense that Rodgers wouldn’t throw in the direction of rookie receivers not named Valdez-Scantling? If Cobb and Alison aren’t on the field we have to be willing to target more than a couple of recievers.

I think Tom Silverstein said it best: Fackrell is only 190 sacks short of Reggie White...My hope is he doesn't disappear and learns from today. BTW it's about time he produces for the check he's getting...it's more than GMO.

Mash Potato Mike is a terrible coach. Luckily with HOF QBs we frequently win in spite of his stupid play calling and misuse of personnel.

22-0 still works.

I don't get the intense negativity of McCarthy. Perhaps the numerous drops and a few misses by Rodgers had something to do with the poor performance in the second half.

Lphill

It looks like A Rodgers agrees with us. Mashed Potato Mike is detrimental to our offense and clock management. Hit the dislike button again if you insist on keeping your head in the sand?

Stockholder,
"McCarthy's game plan was perfect"...are you delusional?
I don't understand why you continue to praise McCarthy for his exceptional coaching and game planning?

Matt Nagy guided Trubisky to Bears 5 TDs today--through exceptionally creative offensive schemes and formations. Watch the highlights--from 4 receivers stacked on right against three defenders to 2 QBs in backfield.

With the best QB in the business, our offense remains anemic and our formations are beyond stale. CMON. Be honest here.

Tonyan has played almost half the ST snaps. I think he's been active every week.

Ideally, yes. Can Tonyan block? If he can in-line, can he as an H-Back?

The defense held the Bills to 2.2 yards per pass play yesterday...2.2!! Obviously that includes the sack yardage but damn..That's impressive no matter who your playing.

Toward the end, the Packers were getting home quickly with the blitz. Allen looked like Hundley toward the end.

And the rookies need to practice with him—think the near pick 6 was a wrong route by MVS.

Uh-Oh

K.Fack or K. Mack??

K. Mack assists Trevathan interception
OLB Khalil Mack gets to QB Jameis Winston and hits his arm, allowing the pass to be intercepted by ILB Danny Trevathan.

Once the Packers went up 6-0 (and I think most of us were afraid that missed PAT would haunt them), I can't think of a time where it felt like the Packers weren't in control of this game.

They are a good defense. Maybe against a good offense?

Packers came into todays game ranked 23rd overall on defense. After today's game and giving up 145 total yds, they're currently ranked number 9 after lowering their yds given up from 386yds a game to 325. After 4 games the Packers officially have a top 10 defense for anyone interested.

UPDATE: According to NFL website Packers have moved up to 6th in overall defense.

When was it proven that Cobb wasn’t a number 2 and what has GMO proven that he is? Only thing we know about Cobb is that he isn’t a number 1.

Brace yourself she's going to be in rare form this week.

I went off the Fackrell wagon last season early.It would take much more than 1 game to have me invest in him again, unlike those who have been doing the on/off with Perry.

A win was obtained today and I'm genuinely happy for it being a true fan of the Packers, but this team still has issues and this win vs Buf shouldn't
be a cork popping party but more reflection on improvements needed. Especially when the Bears were impressive.

pass blocking was great. run blocking sucks!!! the gains that were made were from pure effort by the backs, especially Jones.

Totally sgree

Did you watch what the Bills did to Cousins last week? The Bills came into the game leading the NFL in QB hits and pressures and the O-line with Bell in at RG stifled them keeping Rodgers upright and healthy but they're not any good? And the Packers had 32carries for 141 yds. You have a rather unique perception of what good is.

lions are in last.

The track record of slow starts in recent years for the Packers appears to be holding up again this year. If they can stay healthy enough across the board to get into a rhythm, it should get better.

Still, the defense played well against a QB that they should have been able to exploit. That counts for something. They looked better than last week, and there's no column in the standings for style points.

Agreed. It was good to see the Packers finding those guys downfield.

That MVS pass was something I was hoping for for years with Janis and Davis. Those guys may have similar speed, but not the hands. Should be interesting if we can continue to run that play as the CBs will have a hard time with MVS's speed.

MVS. is still to raw. A-Rod was lucky not to have an INT on a out. The rookies can't run the routes yet. Their tipping the route. But to spread the field, run them deep. Javon Walker did it. MVS, Moore and st Brown can too. But thats not happening because A-rod wants to throw short. Age is bringing fear. So we get after MM because he's sitting them. I JUST DON'T SEE THE EFFORT, IN TRYING TO MAKE THE ROOKIES BETTER.

Pettine didn't use him differently than normal from what I could see. It looked like the light bulb went on and he finally put a good game together. My hope is that this is the start of his growth and he gets better from here. My fear is that this game is an anomaly and we don't see another game like this from him. Like Josh Jones against the Bengals last year.

The poor/biased officiating played a big part in those final outcomes.

Well the Vikings was officiating—seems clear that as the dust settles the sack interception is accepted as something that should have stood. It wasn’t the only terrible call that could have ended the contest.

As for Washington, I have nothing.

Nice to see him have a good game. I'd pretty much written him off based on his previous performances.

Didn't see the game, how did Brice and HHCD look?

Your team must be happy with 8 wins at the end of the season? We are not happy without playoffs and playoffs success. We demand more because we still have HOF caliber Rodgers and we are aware that our next qbs might very well be “jAllens”... for decades.

Doug your Right. And the lions could have won today. He has had the packers number. Time for that to change.

As long as your old-school Packer cap isn't the blue-yellow-khaki combo that we see in the throwback uniforms. UGH!

If Nagy can keep coming up with this number of new gimmick plays all season I will be impressed. If not, I think the steam will escape at some point.

I got the impression he was not happy with the execution, his or his teammates on offense in the sense that they did not take advantage of what was available to them.
