Packers 31 Giants 13: Game Balls & Lame Calls

Let it snow, let it snow all the way to 9-3! 

In the New Jersey snow, the Green Bay Packers got back on track with a 31-13 win over the New York Giants.  It wasn't pretty until the end, but the Packers pulled away late and head home for two weeks at 9-3.

Green Bay remains atop the NFC North, regardless of the outcome of Monday Night's game between the Seattle Seahawks and Minnesota Vikings.  A Vikings' loss puts the Packers in firm control of their destiny to win the division with four games left.

On to the day's best and worst.

Game Balls

Aaron Rodgers

Gotta give it up to the man here.  Rodgers did what he does in tough spots and kept it together, making some big throws to keep the Packers ahead and, eventually, pull away.

243 passing yards, four touchdowns and a 125.4 passer rating will get you in this column pretty often.

Za'Darius Smith

No sacks for the Packers but Smith was credited with seven pressures on Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.  That's a job well done by the captain.  Z had that "December" look in his eyes and he clearly had goals in this game.  

Davante Adams

Two touchdowns on the day after scoring just his first of the season last week.  Adams was a true #1 today.  Just six catches but the two scores and a few big penalties drawn accounted for a lot of the good on offense.

Allen Lazard - Geronimo Allison

Lazard had his first 100-yard game, adding two big catches early, one for a touchdown.  He has clearly assumed a starting role opposite Adams.  Allison made a few key catches on third down to keep fourth-quarter drives alive when the game was closer.

December is a good time of year for guys to be in peak form.

Honorary - Mason Crosby

Two days after losing his sister-in-law, Crosby drilled a 47-yarder in the first half that helped the Packers stay ahead in what was a close game at the time.  We've seen players rise up in big moments after dealing with personal tragedies and it goes without saying how tough it has to be to be out there and concentrate.  

Lame Calls

Deep Ball on 3rd and Short

Whether the play call or Rodgers' option, this has been a drive killer too often this season.  When it's in Packers' territory, it's even more frustrating.  Late in the game, the offense took advantage of a few Giants turnovers and found the end zone but the Packers have to find a way to get a few short yards to keep a drive moving.  Far too many talented options not to find success.

Robert Tonyan

We missed you, Big Bob, but two penalties is sloppy.  One of those penalties wiped away a touchdown that, partly thanks to a New York penalty, fortunately ended in a touchdown anyway.  Need a big catch or three from you down the stretch, my man.

 

Others to mention:

  • Packers defense lived in the backfield.  Kenny Clark and Kyler Fackrell both had at least five pressures to go along with Z's seven
  • Adrian Amos had himself a nice day and was a steady presence in trying to contain the Giants and Saquon Barkley
  • Jamaal Williams only had 41 yards rushing and 26 yards receiving, but they were big in icing the game late
  • The offensive line had their work cut out for them with icy conditions and despite a few penalties, they didn't allow any sacks
  • Daniel Jones giveth, the secondary was ready to taketh away.  Danny Dimes made it easy but defenders still have to catch the rock.  Three picks on the day isn't a bad day at the office
  • JK Scott gave us at least some hope that he can kick in colder weather
  • Officiating was baffling at times, once again.  I'm convinced we haven't seen the last or, possibly the worst, of what is to come for the Packers.  I'm already cringing

The Packers whether in a win or loss justify anyone cringing.

So...You're going to say that you don't cringe before a game because of the previous weeks play or during the game with some of the things they both sides of the ball do and don't do and you don't cringe anticipating what they will keep doing that started the cringing in the first place.

This isn't about the other team doing something well or not,this is about what the Packers don't do and should and things they persist in doing when they should cease doing it....every freaking week.

The kind of stuff that may get you a nice record and even a playoff spot but certainly will send you home early,which would be fine with those who believe making the playoffs is the 'end goal.'

Please, don't give me the building for next year crap (every team is doing such) as that building must include erasing the weekly things that create the constant cringing.

Remember, going 11-6, 12-4 and sitting at home with those teams that went 4-10, 8-8, 2-14 etc, come the third weekend in January all feel the same in February...what they did wasn't enough and didn't fix the problems that hurt them weekly.

PeteK - I get it that up is down and vice versa in any given week. Focusing on the stat side of the game blinds you to the true strength of a team. It is like putting trust in the player who can put up numbers against the weak teams but totally disappears in the tough games. This Packer team stumbles to wins against teams that stumble with a higher rate of stumbling. If this is good enough for you then getting to wildcard weekend should be good enough.

We have 4 games to get better at O and D. I think we are a little above average at both but not great at either. Can that change? absolutely! it happens, but here what needs to change IMO.

MLF has to get his players to play with better execution, confidence and urgency.

On O....Minimize the amount of false starts and delay of game penalties which puts in unfavorable down and distance. Throw some on first down and run some on second, basically become less predictable, but execution still ranks above all else.

On D....communicate better amongst the backField to reduce big plays. Play more physical at LOS and tackle hard. All players swarm to the ball. Of course continue to create TO’s.

Tall task? Yes. Achievable? Yes. Let’s keep in mind we have a lot of new players that hopefully will start communicating better with each other. We have a new O and Coaching staff as well. Maybe things will all mesh together over the next 4 games. Oh My, what fun we’re having. I know I’ll enjoy the ride either way. Go Pack Go!

Game Balls...(Damn Jason, you took all the GOOD ones)

Savage...There was a play he made in the backfield where his speed was really evident, the INT, and a few others sprinkled in. This was one of his better games IMO. Much of the time Rookies start to slow down late in the season. Really hoping that doesn't happen with Savage.

Special Teams as a whole... The Packers as a whole played better on ST. IF they can do this the rest of the way, they'll be better off. ST Coach still needs to go but at least they didn't LOSE yardage this week.

Secondary... I thought they played better overall BUT since the Giants didn't have either Engram and Golden Tate they SHOULD have. BUT they did CATCH the INT's thrown right to them. Williams pick was a BEAUTIFUL play.

Rodgers TD pass to Lewis... Rodgers walked up to the line, looked at the defense and then yelled Big Dog, Big Dog, Big Dog, and then Big Dog caught a TD pass.

Lame Calls...

The Refs... The penalty on Martinez was one of the absolute WORST calls on the season. I've watched it several times and still can't get my head wrapped around that one. There was NOTHING there.

Deep Balls on 3rd down...Jason already mentioned it but this week leading up to the game I made comments many times about those types of plays and that they needed to stop. If they were remotely close fine but their not. It doesn't matter if it's MLF or Rodgers calling for it... It matters that it's STILL happening too much.

MVS... Hard to imagine this was many's #2 WR at the start of the season.

Sternberger...WHY isn't he at least being tried in the lineup? Get him out there and let him have a go at it. Put him in the slot or run him out of the backfield but at least TRY to use him a few times.

I am watching a replay of the game and I for the life of me cannot find anything resembling a personal foul on the Martinez call. It wasn’t a case of mistaken identity. I would love to hear an explanation from the official who made the call. Guilty of playing football can’t be the answer.

"MVS... Hard to imagine this was many's #2 WR at the start of the season."

Maybe MVS would be able to catch the ball if "Hall of Fame" QB let him catch his throws to him. Every throw to MVS is badly under thrown and MVS playing D preventing INTs. Watch again and you'll see what I'm talking about....

I've noticed this as well. A lot of MVS' targets are simple deep routes. His job is to run fast and be in a position to make a play. Rodgers underthrowing prevents him from having that opportunity. When he did it yesterday the look on Rodgers face was 'i can't believe I just did that again'.

To Pete's point, I think Lazard is being asked to run different types of routes and is having success doing so.

It bothered me too, but I came around because I came from a more stoic generation that went through some horrific wars. I don't want to be a grumpy old troll ( LOL ) who yells at kids to get off my lawn. I remember an interview with a Latino baseball player( don't remember the name) who was asked to explain why he doesn't seem to get his game face on and is always smiling and kidding around. His ans was very telling. I'm just very happy and this is a fantasy come true because of the poverty that I came from. Everyday is a celebration for me. So as long as they're not taunting the opposition , let the young men enjoy and celebrate their great opportunity.

Game Balls:

Rodgers - He looked like he was having some fun out there. For all those that keep suggesting that we trade Rodgers for draft picks. Look at the other side. Would you rather have Rodgers or a guy like Daniel Jones. I mean seriously.

Za'Darius Smith - He looked unblockable at times. One thing is he looks like he is built for winter weather.

Allison - I have been hard on Allison. But he came up with probably the biggest catch of the game and honestly probably the key play of the game. That 4th down play was huge. 4th and 10 and he makes the big catch. If he doesn't bring that in it could have been a completely different game.

Adams & Lazard - Adams is WR1 and Lazard is clearly WR2. He just makes plays. Combined they had 9 receptions on 13 targets for 167 yards and 3 TD's.

Scott - Welcome back! He looked to be punting much better, which is a very big thing! We need him down the stretch!

Crosby - Truly one of the greats!

Lame Calls:

Soft coverages on 3rd downs & allowing TE's to do what they want - Seriously. How do guys get WIDE open constantly against our defense. What happened to that in your face defense that the season started out with?

Notes:
- This team starts out fast and ends well. Its the middle part of the games that they need to improve. To many lulls in the middle of games.

- Bulaga playing and playing as well as he did was incredible since we weren't sure how long he'd be out for. The signs weren't looking good when they brought up Nijman off the PS and signed Veldheer.

- I will go with my weekly Refs suck take. It sucks that I'm starting to get used to it unfortunately. But seriously how do you call Za'darius offsides. Just cuz he jumps doesn't mean he is automatically offsides. He never got into the neutral zone. 2 guys are watching that line and neither of them saw that he never jumped into the neutral zone?
Also what the hell was that on Martinez? Seriously?

- Its Victory Monday! Lets enjoy!

I agree with Jason on the Game Balls. I'm going to add the Packers run defense. They did a pretty good job of holding Barkley in check for most of the game.

Lame Calls: Deep throws on 3rd and short. I'm not sure if it is something the Packers pick up on film during the week or if Rodgers comes to the line and sees a one-on-one matchup that he really likes or another reason but there are times to take a shot and times to just move the chains. It may be a lack of confidence in the OL to execute the blocking for a running play or the defense has the short routes covered but we need to come up with a play that we can pick up a short yardage 3rd down with. The out pass to Allison and the TD toss to Big Dog both seem like they would be fine 3rd down plays to me.
My other lame call is Pettine going with a soft zone on some of our opponents 3rd and short yardage plays. Why aren't we coming up to the LOS and knocking the receivers off their routes? We make it very simple for our opponent to pick up 1st downs on too many plays. I'm not complaining about the defense since we only gave up 13 points and had 3 picks but sometimes I'm just not sure what we are trying to do with some of these plays.

Bring on the Skins. Go Pack Go! Thanks, Since '61

Lame Call... The Cowboys getting a home playoff game if the season ended today.

Assuming NO and SF own 1 and 2, would GB really prefer to own the 3 seed and host Seattle or the Vikings at Lambeau? Or take the 5 seed and hand Dallas a second beat down in a nice warm dome?

I think you might be a bit premature with all this,
As it stands today, IF the Seahawks can beat Minny tonight the Niners will drop to No. 5 and face a slightly tougher remaining schedule than Seattle.
The pecking order could come down to the final weekend when the Seahawks face the Niner's again. It could go either way.
And then, what does it matter, the Packers needed all 4 quarters yesterday just to put away a team that will likely be picking first on Draft Day 2020.

For sure, lots of big games left to be played. Just saying, if given the choice, I'd probably choose to play @DAL over vs. MN or vs. SEA or vs. SF. Dallas is a mess and home field advantage is overrated compared to getting a weak team as your opponent.

Though I imagine NO was thinking the same thing when they got to play a 7-9 Seattle team in 2010

Belichick was asked the obvious question, "To what do you attribute your success?" His simple answer was Sun Tzu's "The Art of War." Attack your enemy's weaknesses, play to your strengths. As Mel Brooks would say, "It's so simple it's eloquent." Patriot's strength with Gronk was TE, and slot receiver. Gronk and whoever was their slot were peppered with passes. When they had Moss, he was thrown to over and over and scored a gillion TD's. Moss leaves, Gronk retires, they have no TE or great receiver, so Brady throws 20 passes a game to Edelman and White. They move the chains and win. None of this spread it around crap. On D, it's well known, and he said it in the interview, take away the enemy's best threat. Works like a charm. You have Julio Jones?... we'll make Sanu beat us. On O, Edelman is their biggest threat today, so he's played 90% of the snaps this year, Now to the Packers. Play the 49'ers. Their biggest threat?... Kittle. He goes off. This week against the Ravens, they double him, he does squat. Ravens win. We do none of that "take out the best player" stuff. We seem to play the same D against every team, as opposed to Belichick who says every week his D is different. On offense, Aaron Jones was being talked about as an MVP candidate three weeks ago. Since then he's close to invisible. This isn't pee wee football, everyone doesn't need to play. The NFL is a stars league. Feed your stars and playmakers. And learn to recognize talent. Did Gute really think it was a good idea to go into the season with Allison in the slot; a tall, awkward, low twitch slot receiver? We complain about Rodgers not throwing over the middle, who should he throw it to with Allison and Graham being the main middle of the field targets? This team has just enough talent to maybe squeeze into the SB, but MLF and Pettine, have to learn from Belichick, or maybe from the guy Belichick most resembles, Lombardi. His Packers had a signature play and ran it over and over; "A seal here, a seal here, and run this play in the alley!" I just don't see the Belichick/Lombardi philosophy at work with MLF. He's from that new offense school, and so far it isn't working. His offense is disjointed, has no identity. Packers need to feed Jone and Adams with Lazard getting some love. Forget Allison and MVS and the rest of that motley WR crew. Jones needs to be used like White, throw after throw into the flat when he's not running the ball. 20 touches or more a game. He's our game-breaker. Not the likable Williams. He's our closer once we've built up a lead. MLF, watch some early Packer and Patriot games, and make Sun Tzu your bedtime reading.

I do think GB would benefit from using fewer receivers, but if they went into the season with that mentality then Lazard and Tonyan would never have been given the opportunities to succeed. I think we know enough at this point though to start giving more snaps to the guys that produce.

I also think that GB has another important offseason ahead of them. Teams need to build around a system and an identity. The smiths and amos have been great additions, and bringing back TW has been worthwhile. All of those are guys that were brought in with Pettine's system in mind. Another offseason may help get the right type of players at DE and ILB. This offseason we'll reap the benefits of letting JG walk and hopefully use those dollars to get a better slot receiver. I think MLF's strategy can work a lot better when a few key individuals are in place.

I think that we need to remember that MLF is a first year HC. He still has a huge learning curve ahead of him. Yes he can learn from Lombardi and Belicheck but executing is the key.

Belicheck was fired by the Browns and was on his way to being fired by the Patriots when Drew Bledsoe was injured and Brady got his chance to play.

Lombardi, the GOAT as far as I'm concerned, was 3-0 in his first season in Green Bay when the Rams came to Green Bay and defeated the Packers 48-16. The next the Packers went to Baltimore and lost 38-16. Those were the first 2 losses in a 5 game losing streak. We have bloggers here who would have wanted Lombardi fired at that point. The Packers won the final 4 games and finished the 1959 season with a 7-5 record. (12 game season back then). Lombardi got it going during the 1960 season reaching the NFL championship game to the Eagles. After that 5 championships in 7 seasons.

Imagine what this blog would be like if MLF had a 5 game losing streak. It would be fire MLF, it's all Rodgers fault, Gute should be drawn and quartered and Murphy should be boiled in oil, and on and on. Enjoy the win and get ready for the Skins. Thanks, Since '61

Didn't see the game other than the 17-10 halftime score. Based on all the comments, it seems like you are either an ass for not being grateful for the win or an ass because you think the team is under performing. I do know that the NY Giants are struggling to field a serious team so the win, while important, might have a low hanging fruit quality to it.

For the times that I got to see the Packers play this season, I can't say that this team is hitting on many cylinders or has the toughness to trade body punches with the likes of Baltimore, San Fran, New Orleans or the Patriots. Personally, I don't care as long as the team plays up to its potential and conducts itself with class. At least we are doing the latter.

I think you missed my point Lphill. The Packers are playing very inconsistent ball in all three phases of the game. This offense has enough firepower to win most games going away yet they sputter against even the worst teams. Both the players and the coaches can do much better than their current play standards. Yes, even at 9-3.

I agree with other above posters on mention to Crosby especially under such conditions. It takes a weathered veteran to stay cool in freezing weather like that. With so many teams struggling, and even losing games on account of bad kickers, its way past time to spotlight Crosby/ Chigo, Pats, and couple other teams have their games altered if not the season altered by inconsistent kickers.

Statistically, the Packers v. Giants games was almost dead even along with the time of possession. The difference was the 3 interceptions.

Don't understand the soft zone defense that Pettine is running out there.

We have to get a DT to stop the run and another LB to stop the TE. If that could be accomplished by next year, the high scrutiny on Pettine will be in order. I know people have been mad at Blake Martinez, but honestly, without a solid DT upfront he is asked to cover too much ground. Go easy on Blake.

Our offensive line has to get tougher a 2nd receiver must emerge Lazard maybe? We have no one in the slot. Allison is up and down. Kumerow is non-existent.

We have got use and get our TEs going . Graham won't be back. M. Lewis might retire.

I can't figure out MVS and Rodger's. On some deep balls I keep seeing Rodger's under throw him, but I also see Rodger's mad at him for possibly not running the routes properly.

Anyone have status on Raven Greene? I thought he was supposed to be ready to play against the Giants.

I just have to say that the Tonyan penalty on the TD run didn't exactly wipe out a score. Had he not held on that play, Jones doesn't turn that corner untouched. Go Pack go! :)
