Packers vs Dolphins Game Thread: Happy Thanksgiving Edition

[melvin dangerr]

Aw, man... I'd love to help such a worthy effort, but I'm too stuffed to run fast...

That was good I spilled my drink on that one

Jordan Love earned a leg.

21/28, 274 yds, 2 TD, 0 INT

129.17 QBR

Nice to see him getting back on track at the right point of the season.

Well this was good win but, Sounding like a broken record the Packers have to keep playing to score and stop any team’s offense from making big plays down the stretch RIP John Madden

My sense is that this will be a scary team going into the regular season run in...
Happy Thanksgiving all

Holding the Dolphins to 17 points, with all those weapons, was a darn fine job. 2 4th down stops, and a turnover on ST's all helped along the way to a Big W. 9-3 is smelling a lot like a clinched playoff birth in the near future. Go Pack Go!!!!

Last post we have the Lions coming upand mistakes have to be few, they are no joke and should be played every down no slack for them MLF

Miami was in a charitable mood starting with the huge muffed punt and followed up with a slew of penalties and an I'll advised gamble at the end of the first half. Its tough to win in the NFL. If a team wants to make it easier, let them.

Huge Win tonight! I think we have a chance in Detroit. We need to get up on them early. I think it will be much tougher this year than last year though.

Wow, thanks 13. I didn't know those were his final stats. And yeah, the last two weeks he's been healthy and looking a lot more like the QB we saw later last year. The injuries did take a toll on him and it's a good thing Gluten grabbed Willis when he did.

As an aside, the tributes to Madden were very nice last night. I do miss the guy.

Sounds like a football game.

My best guess after watching Detroit and GB
Detroit has Peaked. Thats not an insult or implication of future success/failure. Detroit is riding their ceiling but wavering some. Now the ? Is this. Can Detroit maintain that peak level of play into the Postseason 6 Weeks from now?

Detroit caught the Packers at a lower point. Not our bottom, but between our bottom and our current level of play. I think Detroit will remain very good, but every couple of weeks might play down closer to their competition. I think GB is still rising, but approaching their ceiling. I still don’t think GB had played their best game when pointing to ceiling ability. If GB gets J’aire back and the Packers get some additional “surprise” juice from Marshawn Lloyd or Luke Musgrave (who I believe both will play again in regular season). They could really elevate to another plateau similar to what Detroit has done. Both Marshawn or Luke can add juice to 2 positions that already are playing well. We’re about to be deep and dangerous at 2 positions that are critical in Postseason imo.

I think GB, MN and Detroit are 3 of the 6 best teams as of this minute. I have Steelers a sliver behind us today. I would not want to be another team playing the Packers in January if we remain or get healthier. That goes for the Eagles or Detroit also. Our Run Defense is figuring things out and can manage that aspect against either team and I’m not saying that lightly.

Packers have allowed 85 yards on the ground in the last 2 weeks combined. It displays competence in Run D that I haven’t seen in former DC’s

Neutral zone again?!
That’s 3 neutral zone in 4.5 quarters

I think teams got a way with this for so many years but it was rarely called. Now it is like breaking an inst8nctive habit.
