Having seen a few of these match ups recently now...yeah, no question the OT injuries impacted this game for GB....Rodgers was under a lot of pressure, took some pretty big hits. The Packers are better on the back end now, but still not able to match up with ATL's OFC.

There's a good chance these teams will meet again this season. If this result decides a tie breaker situation, the game will be in ATL again. If so, GB has to be at full speed on OFC because I'm not thinking they will shut ATL's OFC down.

Howz about OUR Steelers?

Ben still strikes me as an old guy out there, but once Bell really gets going, if that defense continues to improve, really looking good

So far, so good huh...lol!

No real test yet...OFC looked better yesterday but too many FGs...too many misses on 3rd down which is normally Ben's strong suit. I think some of it was Ben not hitting the passes, but Haley had a few play calls that were snuffed out quickly seems like MIN knew where he wanted to go with the ball.

D...yep. Considering the 11 starters have not played a snap together yet, I'm more encouraged with the pass rush and I figure the back end of the DEF is getting better but still a work in progress.

Vikings defense is a very legit unit, so lowering expectations offensively vs them, is pretty fair for any team.....I think Bell being a little lackluster so far is gonna set them up in unfavorable 3rd downs, but id expect that to change....I liked the looks of Connor on his few carries.....

What happened to Vance Mcdonald? I thought he was such a sneaky great pickup for them

Yes indeed...Viking have a pretty stout DEF. I think out of the 4 FGA, at least 1 should've been 6, that drive had a pre-snap issue, another penalty ending up making a 1st n 10 from the 11 into a FGA.

Bell had a solid day imo, they clearly were keying on him so his avg per touch was not the great, but still managed 87 on the ground, almost nothing receiving. He's closer to form.

McDonald was inactive this week with a back issue that cropped up late in the week apparently. Hopefully back this week because when he's not, they go to a 6 OL a lot and they never pass out of that so it's kind of stereotyping the plays.

So far the biggest FA pickup has been Tyson Alualu, backup DE. Both Tuitt and Heyward are pro bowl caliber players at the 34DE, but they had nothing behind them with any experience so they were getting worn down as the season went along. Tuitt got hurt in the 1st series in a week 1...Alualu has stepped in and played well. The DL hasn't misses a beat.

Packers lost by 11 points despite the refs taking away potentially 14 points for the Pack and the Pack giving 14 points to the Falcons off turnovers and having 5 of our top ten players out for the game after the first Q.

LMFAO!!! A Packer fan whining about the refs calls. Damn that's funny as hell. I didn't hear you complaining about the refs calls during the Packer/Seahawk game a week ago. Damn you make a lot of excuses why you team loses. You sounds like a whiny little kid.

No whining here, just accept the refs ineptitude and it can go either way any week. I tell it like it is.

You are whining. Why don't you whine about the refs calls when your team wins?

Stating the obvious that the WR slowed down was just telling it like it is. Haters gonna hate.
That's better now we can understand you. Now go wipe off your chin.

Will you ever run out of excuses? Just asking, for a friend.
