Can't find fault with a performance that was lopsided from the word go. It can be said "look at the competition"; they were missing Peterson and other key players". But for me, that only comes into play if it's close. Otherwise, I measure the team against itself, and the Packers were on in all three phases; enough to give fits to any team in the league.
So, IMO, this is an all studs/ no duds edition.
-Welcome back, Eddie Lacy.
-Has anyone seen a more confident, r-e-l-a-x-e-d QB than Aaron Rodgers?
-The defense played at a higher and faster level. Great and consistent pass rush, with a lot of twists and looks. Kudos, Dom Capers.
-If I said ARod would throw for only 156 yards; that Jordy would catch only 1 pass; that Lacy would only carry the ball 13 times, then said they'd score 42 points, would anyone have believed me?
-Any glitches by the packer offense I give credit to the Vikes D, especially their front line. Zimmer will eventually put together a D to be reckoned with.
-Can't remember when I last said the Packers won both lines of scrimmage.
- Mike Daniels walked the walk- big time.
-Julius Peppers age is a non issue.
-The more I watch Linsely, the more impressed I am. And the more I think he's the center of the future.
- Best I've seen Burnett play in a while. Keep it going.
-Hayward is ready to bust out and back into Mr. Big Play. An instinctive player.
-Starting to get a little concerned about Matthews.
All in all, a fun party at Lambeau.
