LTF must be out of pocket.

All I gotta say is that damn Aaron Rodgers found a way to get it done. Bleeding the clock from over 6 minutes till the end is just all time great stuff from an all time great. The adversity of the interception, dropped passes, the fumble, etc.

Good game, 12.

Rodgers- played better than the numbers show considering all the drops and that the pick wasn't on him
Jamaal Williams
Defense- Started off slow but played well after the first few drives. Run defense was good in particular
JK Scott
Crosby
Lazard- really the only bright spot in terms of WRs

Duds
WRs for most of the game- the drops are ridiculous, we're lucky that it didn't cost us. Really need someone to step up while Davante is out
Shepherd
Graham
The refs- let's be honest, there is a good chance we lose this game if it isn't for the phantom illegal hands penalties. Gotta keep it real

Happy to be 5-1, but I feel dirty after that one. We were the worse team for about 80% of the game AND needed help from the refs.

Studs: D for stopping for fgs. Lazard.
Duds: turnovers and drops oh my.

Anyone else think they should have gone for the TD on 3rd down at the end? FGs aren't guaranteed.

Too lazy to do much else atm BUT:

STUD:

MATT LAFLEUR-He put his players in position to make plays time after time after time. Play calling was mostly exceptional. Plus a great challenge
Aaron Rodgers-Played a near perfect game with little support
Lizard man-Beast. Get him on the field more
Jenkins=Beast
Preston Smith on that one too good to be true get off timing

Dud

Sheperd

I understand your point. But the clock was more important than the points there. As noted by the finish, the Lions never saw the ball again. Perfectly played.

The refs 100% gave us that game, and it does not feel right. But we have been on the other side countless times. You can only hope it results in change at this point and be happy we were on the other end for once.

If they take care of business against the Raiders next week, and go 6-1 into Arrowhead (Chiefs look suspect right now too)

We cooking with gas!

Really gonna need Davante for that one. I’m not one to look ahead and play for another week, but if he’s on the edge for next week, I say sit him and target KC as the return date.

He is correct. We are wasting money on this guy when Lewis and the other guy we have can do just the same for cheap.

Even though the refs helped us along, announcers and Lions can’t complain we could have scored a TD, or Mason would have won it with a field goal, just like the no touch down the Lions scored so it is what it was,we win that’s all.

Also - contrary to what others might have thought, the decision by LaFleur to run the ball on 3rd down at the end of the half was an excellent decision. We got the 3 points, it bled the clock such that the Lions couldn’t get the ball back with enough time to drive down the field, and of course he knew that we’d be getting the ball first second half.

It was a great decision, and really as a whole, LaFleur coached his *** off tonight.

Knowing the Packers + when Davante was hurt in 2015, he's not coming back until he's 110% recovered from the turf toe.

I hate being one of those guys, but it's obvious. Gute needs to make a move at WR.

Studs:
  • Offense for overcoming 0-3 turnover deficit and a few drops, then coming up big at the end
  • Defense for coming back strong after that horrible start; stout against the run
  • Winning ugly
  • Slimming all white uniforms contrasting nicely against the green turf
Duds:
  • Wearing white after Labor Day instead of Green and Gold at home
