A win here would be huge but a loss doesn't kill us.
I think we have a real chance to take it to GB, it's just a matter of if we can get pressure on Rodgers.
Rise Up
That comment kind of irked me by one of the announcers. What else do you want them to do when they're losing, take a knee at the one? You have to go for the touchdown no matter how much time is left on the clock for the other team. Yes, Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback but it's not easy to score touchdowns let alone purposefully milk time off the clock just to ensure Rodgers doesn't have too much time.I think the DEF turn the tide when they finally got out of that zone and went m-t-m...yeah, Rodgers was able to burn them running since the spy was occupied, but they punted more in the 2nd half.
On the winning drive...I thought maybe they scored too quickly, but the DEF did RISE up on the final possession...GB losing that TO late on the injury really took the middle of the field away too.

We got kind of lucky on 4th down because I think it was Jordy Nelson who fell over and took away an option for Rodgers at the beginning of the play. Overall, the defense played about as good as you can expect them to against Green Bay.
Yeah, I have never understood the 'Scored too Early'. Just score and play defense.
Which we actually did well and held on to the win.
Great win by this team. I know people will say that the Packers are beat up, but every team is, and it's not like we are the Browns, we did just beat the Broncos in Denver and followed that up with a blown call that ended a close game in Seattle.
Win this weekend and I think the divisional race is ours to lose.
I think we're through the toughest part of the schedule already. The rest of the season isn't a gimme but I feel like 10 wins isn't out of the question right now. I'm hoping the younger guys on defense will get more comfortable as the season goes on. So far it looks like they are, I'm just hoping it continues.In this case it was as simple as play DEF.
Closing it out...they really need this game to go 2 up on TB, but if NO wins @ SF they're only 1 back...long way to go yet, but I like ATL chances right now...just pay back TB this week.
