Right. Keep telling yourself that. Sour grapesNo thanks. The Bills didn't prevent Rodgers from throwing a TD. Nelson did.

Nonsense. If Nelson had caught what was a PERFECT pass, it would have been a quick stiff-arm on Williams and gone. The blame does not lie with Rodgers nor does the credit on that play lie with the Bills. If Nelson makes what should have been an easy catch we likely have 11 wins right now.Right.

No, not "woulda coulda shoulda." DID - on Rodgers part. Like I said before, Bills didn't hold Rodgers to no TDs. Nelson did, indisputably.Coulda. Woulda. Shoulda.

The blocked field goal clearly was not why we lost the game and being down by 6 (19-13)means that you need the TD anyway even if you make that missed field goal if you're playing for the win and not the tie.where the Packers will be driving at the end of the game, in field goal range, but an earlier missed field goal will make going for the TD necessary instead of kicking for a tie.
But the only prediction I'll make for today's game is, we will win or loose based upon how well we protect Rodgers and control the ball. No fumbles, no turnovers. We do those two things well and we win.
Well, the Bills have roughly the 3rd/4th best defense in the league. Against another roughly 3rd/4th best defense (Seattle), the Packers lost. Against pretty much the best defense (Detroit), the Packers lost. Against roughly the 6th/7th best defense (Miami) the Packers needed the final seconds to pull out a victory. The Packers went up against about the 10th best defense, at home, in a clean turnover game, and won but not in huge fashion (New England).
On the road, against a top tier defense, this is likely going to be low scoring game, wherein the Packers need to force turnovers to assure a win. My gut tells me that's not going to happen, so-
Bills 20
Packers 14
where the Packers will be driving at the end of the game, in field goal range, but an earlier missed field goal will make going for the TD necessary instead of kicking for a tie.
AND the Packers will still be in as good a shape as any to win it all in Jan/Feb. It's simply this game and how I think it will turn out.
Does it really matter? Rodgers was "off". WR's & TE's were "off". MM stopped calling runs for Lacy when he was gashing their D. The O-Line gave AR time to throw, but apparently nobody was open or willing to catch the ball. The Bill's D may have been a big part of that, maybe not. It's still a L in December.
To say Rodgers was "Off" is a vast overstatement. He played like Jay Cutler yesterday.....
I see a lot of ulcers breaking out...I'll just go ahead and predict a road blowout so that all of the Packers fans with stomach ulcers over the Falcons game can relax for one week.

The turnovers were the dagger to the heart, not the missed field goal.
The poor tackling monster reared it's head ugly head again.Turnovers and the punt return for TD, Bills offense had 13 first downs and most were on 1 series. Bills offense was not going to win the game vs Packers. Packers needed to avoid turnovers and special teams errors yesterday and they would have won most likely.

Ha Ha was making tackles all afternoon up near the LOS. Kudos to that young man. Nice pick pick there. I hope he's around for a LONG time in GB. Very promising rookie year. Me like.![]()
the kid had like 10 tackles. I'll take that any day.There was really bad tackling I recall on one series after Packers scored TD that Buffalo marched down the field and Packers held them to FG. Other than that, I do not think it was atrocious.
Peppers did have a terrible game in both run and pass rush.
Haha looks good.. but still had a couple of errors yesterday, charged into backfield and had miss tackle on running back and then never picked up RB on left sideline when Shields blitzed for big gain. But agree... looks like a good one right now for rookie.
You hit the nail on the head Croak. I'm still disappointed but I must admit that especially the Bills D did an excellent job while our MVP-QB and all WR's had an off-day. Sometimes it's as simple as that. Now we need to beat the Bucs and we will, I don't have any doubts.Buffalo did well and GB didn't. No excuses, it was just a bad showing today. They did what they needed to do and the Pack didn't. Next week is another game.

Fully agree, it won't be an easy game but I'm pretty confident that we will pull out a win. Neither Rodgers nor all of our WR's will have such a disastrous game for a second time in a row.Are you sure? It is a road game for GB...I'm being a bit facetious, but I bet the Tampa game won't be a blowout...the Packers should win, but I see this game being closer than most would think...

I'm much more worried about our game against the Lions, that will be tough.
The DET game may be tough, but I really don't see any team beating GB in GB...it's on the road that has me worried...
