From Nov. 14 (Monday) Nov 20 (Sunday) to Nov. 24 (Thanksgiving Thursday), We play 3 games in an 11 day time period…that will be tough to take down the Detroit Kittens on their field. Hopefully Chad Clifton will be back by then…GPG

Please talk about the AJ Hawk penalty flop. That was disgusting

Wow, dropped a few passes in 1 game and everyone is jumping on Finley. He’s better than what he showed last night, everyone knows it, dislike the knee-jerk reaction. He caught 4 of 7, and one of the incompletes was drilled out of his hands. The TD dropped doesn’t get much easier than that, but I am not worried going forward.

Nice to see the Pack come on strong after Falcants started fast. Happy to admit I was wrong, Packers were more emotionally up for this game and have better talent, coaching, fans, beer, food, toilet paper than Atlanta.

Can’t stand all the “Matty Ice” shit. Guy does nothing but wilt under heat and fold up his tent when the lights are bright.

Sure hope FInME shuts the fuck up now and just goes out and plays. N

Clifton is going to be out for awhile if not the rest of the season from what i read. Who is the back up after sherrod? i’m assuming bulaga will be back to play next week and newhouse will take clifton’s place. but the pack is definitely running out of depth on the O-line. they might have to bring someone in.

Considering the circumstances, the OL didn’t play all that bad. Moving Newhouse to LT and inserting Sherrod in the middle of a game with few practice snaps there was a huge gamble. Seemed like they held their blocks for the most part, just some mis-reads on blitzes led to a couple sacks. For a rookie and a guy with one start they held their ground.

Biggest credit for this win gotta go to the following:

Aaron Rodgers- Played so well, but when doesn’t he? His sheer will to win and command over the team is unbelievable. There was just no way this guy was leaving that pitch with a defeat and it resonated with me. Unbelievably good leadership.

Mike McCarthy – He recognised we’ve got the best player in football right now, let’s put it on him. Kudos for some excellent calls too.

Dom Capers – That’s the defense we remember.

Greg Jennings is as good a Receiver as there is in football, he’s right there with the two Johnsons.

Sam Shields looked like a legit CB for first time this season. Julio who?

A-Rodge nearly single-handedly willed this team to a win when so many others were having terrible nights.

Finley, Sitton, Lang, and Woodson were so bad that someone should check their bank accounts to see if any money has been wired from ATL.

The Packers were almost burned by sitting Bulaga for another week. Our OL was like a chinese firedrill out there at times.

Props to Capers for finally turning the blitz loose in the 2nd half and stopping the ATL in their tracks.

Props to Desmond Bishop for playing well the entire game.

Props to James Jones, who apparently LOVES playing against Hotlanta. Big game.

Props to Greg Jennings for just always being a superstar. Amazing effort for the TD.

Props to Sam Shields for turning Julio Jones into much adieu about nothing. Best game by Shields this year.

Props to Eric Walden and Clay Matthews for finally getting some pressure in the 2nd half. No sacks, but the pressure caused an INT and a couple punts.

Most of all, props to A-Rodge for being the most unstoppable SOB in football right now, and props to MM for instilling an “overcome adversity” mentality to this team. Shit happens. This team just keeps rolling.

Most impressive win this year considering the Pack didn’t even play that well.

Get Bulaga back and our line should be fine. Newhouse has been solid.

Offensive line needs to get healthy. Could be some problems down the line. The defense did a complete 180 after those first 2 scores.

SD away might be tough and the Giants for some reason worry me.

And yes Finley hopefully will shut up now. Really blew 2 scores for the Pack.

I agree, SD is going to be tough but luckily they are coming off their bye which I think will be a good plus. P-Riv hasn’t been amazing so far, but Gates should be back by then
