Sean’s play calling again not the best. Refs didn’t help with them not calling any holds on our players and Peters was the cherry on top.


GB had 2 weeks to prepare.

Rams adjusted, and made plays when they needed them.

Also remember the GB defensive coordinator, Pettine, has been the DC of 5 defenses before this (he was a head coach for 2 years too). Of those 5 defenses, 2 were top 10 in both yards and points (1 of which was 1st in both), and all 5 were top 10 in yards.

So that's a smart guy gameplanning for 2 weeks.

I also wanted to say that I like Aaron Rodgers - a lot. But fuck him for coming into our house and trying to ramp up the crowd noise like I saw him doing on the sidelines. That's disrespectful.

Still, it says a ton that this team can pull out wins even when seemingly everything is going to shit!


To me this is crystal ball stuff.

Instead Goff gets picked off and everyone starts screaming why didn't we just kick it and trust the defense. The defense was playing really well at the end.

I think ST set up the runback. Kicking it out of the EZ the whole day but put this one close to goal line? It was a set up to me.

Our coaching is just that good.

I'd love to think it was all strategy, but there was defintely some luck mixed in there.

Thing is, I for real thought we were losing this game all week. So I wouldn't have been disappointed at all. I'm incredibly happy we won and that this team continues to surprise me!

Oh yeah. Every game has some luck element to it.

Its about opportunity also. Setting up the opportunity to possibly get them to turn over the ball I believe was there. No opportunity if they kick it out again.

What are your collective thoughts on Gurley slowing down that last run to get tackled? He could've downed himself at the 1 then we could've run some more time off the clock before punching it in for our 30+ point average. Am I seeing this wrong?

Edit: I understand that may be running up the score. I could just still be reeling at Rodgers trying to get the Pack crowd going against us in our house. :-)

He did the smart thing. You don't want to give the Packers/Rodgers any chance to pull off a miracle.
