Good: Red Zone Defense

BAd: McCarthy's game management

Ugly: The offense

For once, you got it pretty good, never right AN. You might want to check the PFF scores that show additional big performances from LT David Bakhtiari (+4.3), S Morgan Burnett (+2.8), CB Quinten Rollins (+2.6), LG Josh Sitton (+2.2), and DE Mike Daniels (+2.0. WR Jones had a great gamer game, and u can probably say those two interference calls were pretty tacky calls. We have seen worse go uncalled. HC McCarthy was right to be upset about the voided touchdown call. That was pretty tacky.

7 straight playoff appearances! That is all.

In the end, it's all about the W column. This isn't hockey or soccer where the standings have more columns than common sense would dictate. There isn't an "Ugly W" column, and at the end, there isn't a playoff tie-breaker based on "games they 'deserved' to win".

I understand the frustration some people have with this team. This is a deeply flawed team that desperately needs to put some pieces together to make any kind of post-season run. Are they currently less than the sum of their parts? Perhaps. But, when it's all said and done, you can't get into the dance unless you've got a ticket, and the Packers have punched theirs.

All we can do is let the chips fall...

The only times we have had good offense is when we are behind and Aaron is throwing the ball deep. That opens up the field for short passes and runs.

Good:
-Packers winning 10th game this year in bad weather.
-Earning a 7th straight trip to the play offs.
-4th Quarter Packers. Let this sink in. Packers have outscored opponents 110 - 48 in the 4th quarter for the year. They have only been outscored in the 4th quarter in 1 game this year. Amazing...

Bad:
-Sloppy football that was played throughout the game.
-To many dropped passes.
-Run game.

Ugly:
-Packer fans can't even enjoy a Packers victory anymore.

Can't argue with this Good, Bad, Ugly. But maybe added CM3 to Bad.

BAD - MM's press conference after the game.

This is a big reason I am not a big fan. Winning 10 games for this team is nothing to be happy about. If we don't get to a SB, it's a bad season. At least that's where we ended off last year. Here we go again with everyone else seeing the obvious and he seems to be 'happy'. I hope in private he is planning something to get AR and receivers in sync but I don't want to hear that we should be happy. That lowers the bar. If the Bears won 10 games, they should be happy. But not THIS Packer team!

It's sad for me to see so many packer fans not enjoying the fact that we are in the playoffs with a shot at the title. That's all you can ever ask for as a fan of any team. We are in and got a shot. Anytime you have Rodgers you have a chance. I'm looking forward to Sunday because I fully believe Green Bay beats the cardinals. Book it!

When the Packers left Foxboro 8-6 in December, 2010 I remember telling myself that that edition of the Packers didn't have what it took to win 6 straight games and bring home the trophy. I was wrong then.

They are cliches, but they still apply: "It's a week-to-week league", "matchups are everything", "any given Sunday". The Packers are winning enough matchups to win games.

The Cardinals were beatable v. Minnesota. MM's team is getting it done at crunch time. If they can keep it close through 3 quarters, AR has what it takes to get it done.

G: The D/STs as a whole. Best 2/3rds of the team in GB since 2010.

B: The offense as a whole. Worst offense in GB since 2005.

U: The WRs and TEs . Worst pass catching unit in GB since the days of Ruvell Matin and Bill Schroeder

Ugh. This whole thread looks to be contaminated by bovine feces.

The Good:
Janus return. The guy has found a spot in this guys heart.
Abby. Why he doesn't get more opportunities is a puzzle.
Jones.y should be put in jail for stickum...oh that's banned I forgot...the guy catches passes like fly paper catches flies ... the catch on the sideline on his knees is nothing that you can teach someone. What a free agent pickup!!!!!
Randall.... yeah I know was charred more than burnt BBQ Ribs more than 3 times against Cooper...but he was on him like a glove all day..those passes and catches were pretty awesome and Cooper is an awesome receiver.
The bend but don't break D. How much more can you ask a team to stop the opponents from 7 when they are inside the 10?

The Bad:
The fricken announcers who didn't have a clue about the Green Bay Packers. I couldn't even repeat the name he called Abby....and as far as calling Bulaga a whale name was hilarious....and oh yeah...let's not forget dissing Randall as a rookie...Christ the guy has been covering as well as Shields and should make the All Rookie Team!

The brick hands of Coooop! Loved his run but he has got to get his hands out of the motor.

More Bad.... hate to dis one of my favorites...but Mathews was anticipating himself right out of the play...it was embarrassing for him to get stiffed armed by Carr after he missed the original sack opp.

More Bad... the Pack could have used a road grader but they still wouldn't be able to pick up a 3rd an one.

The Ugly:
The win...yeah yeah yeah... I know.... a win is a win..maybe so...but our guys just can't put together
a whole game.... complete frustration to see Rodgers pulling a Cutler... this isn't the 3rd game it was the 15th...for him to pull a Jay Play was not defensible...it's not like he was getting rushed..... or the Pack getting a blocked field goal... cmn..really? Deja vu Detroit.

Fortunately there was more Good than Bad... or we would be for sure playing the ViQueens for the North Div title....something that I really don't wish....

Worse than ugly.

Janis. Failed to even TRY to help his QB on the INT. The least he could do is try to make a play/catch, instead he watched like a fan in the stands. How about trying to break up the INT and earn some bonus pts from his QB?

Add in a drop for a possible TD, a plethora of drops in practice from what I hear, no clue how to run routes.

Good thing he's a good gunner on PR or he wouldn't be on the team.

I honestly think AR was serious about getting CWood that int. We had a 2 score lead with a couple min to go ...just sayin.....

The NFL is a strange league. GB continues to win double digit games basically every year even when there not playing up to there potential. There is too many dumpster fire teams in the NFL that I think we don't realize how spoiled we are as Packer fans.

It seems like Green Bay has played the most "poor" weather games out of any team this year.

The lack of speed at WR and no big threat at TE is evident for this offence. It was nice to see the back shoulder throw finally make an appearance, I always thought that was one of the biggest reasons teams had to respect the GB passing game in years past. It really kept drives alive for this team as well.

Redzone and short yardage continue to be an issue, very predictable I think everyone watching the game can figure out what is going to happen.

Aaron, there is a pathetic black hole of misery posting repeatedly and really hampering my enjoyment here. While some of his posts are on target, many are not. Even when he is correct on something he is a disagreeable ass. His racial comments alone should have you questioning if he belongs on the site.

Now, I hate political correctness and its impact on free speech. I'm not asking that you ban him. Just need you to know what a loyal CHTV t-shirt wearing fan thinks. I hate to see the product deteriorate. I personally will not interact with any of his posts and will ignore his "bite me" comments on mine.

Ass Cow just exposed himself , spelled Favre FARVE , is that something a lifelong Packer fan would do?

The UGLY : Officiating!

Very happy with the win. Not the prettiest, but I'm not expecting blow outs like last year.

What disappointed me the most was the lack of a running game. Last week we were all excited about how we pounded the ball down the Cowboys throats, then Starks and Lacy have a stinker.

It was raining vs. Dallas too, so it can't be blamed on the weather. I did not see the game since it was not broadcast here, so can anyone shed some light on the poor running game?

Ugly: Ty Montgomery's season ending injury

Rob Demovsky:
The Packers have activated TE Andrew Quarless off the temporary IR list and placed WR Ty Montgomery on season-ending IR, per a source.

The Good: OL especially Bulaga, Damarius Randall, Cobb, J. Jones.
The Bad: Starks fumble, D. Adams, J. Ryan, Lacy
The Ugly: Officiating, Red Zone offense

We're in the playoffs for the 7th straight season.
For those complaining about the offense we have won 4 of our last 5 games scoring 30, 27, 28 and 30 points in the 4 victories with 3 of the 4 victories on the road. With the way our defense is playing if our offense can score 27 - 30 points per game in the playoffs we'll be fine. Go Pack Go! Thanks, Since '61

For those comparing this year to 2010, in 2010 the Packers were 2nd in profootballreference SRS and 3rd in Footballoutsiders' DVOA. So far this year, the Packers are 8th in SRS and 9th in DVOA. The 2010 defense was better than this year's.

http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/gnb/#team_index::27

Descending order of Packer DSRS (defensive SRS's). Anyone notice a trend? This year's defense, given the offense, isn't likely championship caliber. MAYBE the Packers will stack up turnover margin in the playoffs and make a run for it, but I'm not buying any green banana's over the prospect.

I had the Packers, after Nelson got hurt but Jones being re-signed, as a 10-6 team, but I thought their schedule was going to be harder than it turned out to be. So didn't have grand expectations, particularly Super Bowl aspirations, but if the Packers do end up 10-6, it will still be underwhelming as the only really good teams they'll have played are the Panthers and the Cardinals. I expected losses to teams that I thought would be good, but we lost to them despite they being poor to bad. A hail mary away from being swept by the Lions with a coach with griddle marks on his butt?

Oh well, when looking back on this year in the future, it will stack up like a 1998 or 2003 season on paper.

I think part of our (as in GB fans) problem is that the expectation level is so high. We're so spoiled, we expect perfection every week. Well, just be glad we're not Lions or Bears fans. NOW, you got something to crab about. Will we go deep in the playoffs? Maybe, maybe not, but at least we're in the conversation.

Man, I feel for Rodgers on these types of plays. He isn't playing like the Rodgers we all know, but when things go right for him it seems like a WR (mainly Adams) lets him down. Wow. Just imagine what that would've done for the Offense's morale and Adams' psyche.

Great read by Rollins. I don't know how/why he didn't come down with that INT. Plays like that must be made late into the season and definitely in the Playoffs. No more "almost" plays. Hayward better watch out.

Proof Lacy wasn't running hard and or finishing plays. That's probably why we went a long stretch without seeing him.

Forutunately the PI gave us the first, but that should have been a TD. Bad underthrown pass by Rodgers.

Adams drops a TD pass. "If you can touch it - you can catch it." Boy does he owe us a huge Playoff game - maybe even 2.

Should have been 6 for Lacy. I think he was upset with himself or Bahk at the end of the play because there was a cut back lane that would have allowed him to walk into the end zone.

Again, I feel for Rodgers on these types of plays. He isn't playing like the Rodgers we all know, but when things go right for him it seems like a WR let's him down. This time it was Janis. Pass could've have been a bit lower, but still..."if you can touch it - you can catch it."

Nice zone coverage and play by Burnett. Another should be pick. What's that 4 picks total the Defense should've finished the game with? HAVE to come down with those.

Raiders went on to score a TD...

Ugly: Rhonde Barber and whoever the other announcer was. That was just a horrible, horrible game to listen to. Names wrong left and write. Cliches mangled. I mean really, if you have to spew cliches, at least get them right.
