Good - whoever gave the half time speech that turned it around.
Bad - whoever gave the pre-game speech that led to the first half
Ugly - whoever is in charge of getting the team to play 60 min.
OT: Lloyd?

The Good: Kraft if this was the great he would get this, every week he steps up even more. Now if the will start to use Musgrave done the seam watch out second coming of Chewy/Keith Jackson. Love has some weapons at his disposal. Love was very good, Wilson was a shot in the arm no question. Runs like his job is on the line, tough kid. Valentine was a good surprise, cut Hobbs he is terrible trade for legit CB, Also great that Devonte Wyatt was back he really helps d line.
Bad: MLF having that mid to late first quarter into second quarter brain freeze. Tries crazy plays when its time to make adjustments. Jacobs still hurting maybe little earlier with Wilson into the game. Nixon and his penalties, he plays hard but the beer muscles sometimes and the constant tugging of the shirt crucial times. Muffed punt return.
Ugly: Slow start I guess, good teams are going to take advantage soon need to come out pissed off like your job is on the line.

Beg to differ with you, Nags, but
The good IS Jordan, but the GREAT is Kraft, especially on National Tight End weekend.
If this kid doesn't get All Everything, something's rotten in Denmark.
The bad is McManus. I'll give him the 57 yarder, but missing the chip shot to end the half on a low note inexcusable. 2 later kicks don't obviate it at all. Kicker controversy?
The Ugly-I 'm usually not "that guy" who blames officials, but this was really egregious;
No DPI on throw to Doubs/taking away Rodgers fumble recovery (yeah, he was throwing a pass while he was 12 inches from the turf!)/No call on roughing Love, etc., etc, etc. Some bad calls on Steelers, too. Professional officials!

Agreed especially re: Kraft. He was outstanding

I dont know, Szotman
McManus was still listed as a "Limited Participant" at Thursday's practice and was a 'Game Time' decision.
Lavrisik was great for the two weeks before that! Kinda' seems to me that the 'game time decision' was likely the 'wrong' one!
***EDIT*** If you're thinking that Gutey and Ball would dump McManus after giving him a new contract, I wouldn't suggest holding your breath, it could be deadly!

The Good: Getting Watson and Wyatt back.
The Bad: Whoever cleared McManus to play. Don't they test to confirm whether he is healthy?
The Ugly: Those Steelers uniforms were hideous

Watson's blocking was much appreciated. He still bodied a catch, which was disturbing, but he's a big fella, and he made some plays.

Had to go with extra deodorant at halftime cause I was sweating big time after that lackluster first half. Got the W. Onto my awards.
Good-J-Love. Rex Ryan is hopefully eating a crow omelette for breakfast. Way to go Bro.
Bad-Nixon. Bro..we all know your from Compton. Bad area. We get it. But yall playing tight and your body language was less than stellar. Man up and show up next week my Boi.
Ugly-Matthew Golden for deactivating his IG account. Hope this kid doesn’t go neuclar with his attitude. He needs to grow up and show up every week ready for the rock. GO PACK GO!! 👍🏈

Tucker Kraft—9-man football, just as I played—but I was better…tsk, tsk. He’s beginning to remind me of Gronkowski.
Watson—he’s just getting started—bam!!
I’m still nervous about the secondary—should I be?
Hoculi and his merry band of flag-throwers. Worst officiating crew in football.
Go Packers!!!

No, you should not be nervous about the secondary. I, you and the rest of Packer fandom should be scared s*#%less.

The Good. North Dakota and South Dakota play.
The Bad MLF 1st half bad play calling
The Ugly Is McManus kicking his way out of Green Bay …….come on……kick the ball like you can…..
You missed a chip shot in Eagles playoff game still would have helped in that game

Good:
Kraft, Wilson, Jordo-Jordo and on Defense McKinney deserves mention with 6 tackles.
Bad;
MLF 1st half play calling (I wanted his head)
Nixon, you have made it to the top of my SHIT-LIST.
Ugly:
The Steelers uniforms, Man those were ridiculous
The take away..... Fun game to watch, especially seeing the frustration dripping from A.R's face.

Good - Krafts catching and running, Loves passing and the pass rush putting pressure on old geezer.
Bad - our corners who cant tackle and cant compete against 6'3 receivers.
Ugly - run game with Jacobs. He just didnt have it last night. I wonder if he has an injury slowing him down

He has NO offensive line blocking.
If the O line can't or don't do their Job neither can any... ANY... running back do theirs.

Good: The in-game reference to the 'Presidents' play' when Nixon tacked Wilson. I'm glad the broadcasters didn't run too much with it, but it was novel and in a tiny way clever.
The Bad: I don't like the 'twist' in allowing New York or the game booth officials to stop the live game and overturn a call on the field that wasn't challenged or that the officials on the field didn't confer and overturn themselves. The explanation of Pittsburgh's dropped pass just outside 2 minutes to be 'overruled' by the booth arbitrarily and turned into a TD is bad for the game. The explanation of 'when it's clear, quick and doesn't involve multiple review angles to determine what actually happened' as the justification for why the booth overrule was allowed reeks of judgment and opinion (I dunno, Stan...do you think the evidence on the field was clear?'...'well, Ollie, I only had to look at it from 3 angles not 4 angles so I guess let's stop the game on the field and rationalize why we get paid')...
The Ugly: The run D. It wasn't good that Gainwell could gain well...along with their other RB. Maybe Wyatt's not quite fully healthy yet???

GOOD: Kraft / Love / OL
BAD: Special team penalties AGAIN. Nixon PIs AGAIN. Nixon holding on kick returns AGAIN
UGLY: (no contest) Steeler uniforms ----they looked the color of you-know-what after your colonoscopy prep is finished!

The Good: Jordan Love; 360 yards passing, 3 TDs, NO INTs, 20 straight completions.
The Bad: Keisean Nixon. Just a really bad game from him , all around.
The Ugly: The naysayers who still think Love is not the guy to lead the Packers! He played a stellar game for us, against the Steelers, and yet, so called fans, won't give him the credit he deserves! He just outshone his mentor, Aaron Rodgers!
