How about our 2nd team Defense holding The Vikings #1 Offense to 16 points at US Bank

Studs

Defense allowing 20% 3rd down conversion.

9 drives allowed 1.77 points per drive against mostly our mix of 2’s, 3’s

Barren Sorrell
1 Sacks
1 QB hit
1 TFL

Brenton Cox Jr
1 Sacks
3 QB hits
1 TFL

Colin Oliver
2 QB hit
1 TFL

Dud:

Brian for letting Eric Wilson leave to our foe

This 3rd string Offense literally netted minus passing yards.

I don’t know if it’s fair to have Studs and Duds for this (viewing) today
Might keep in mind this was essentially a Preseason like Roster for the Packers.

Many analysts were thinking The Vikings would throttle the Packers.
Yet GB’s #2 Defense showed up against their #1 Offense. I think it deserves a commendation.

Seems like Oliver, Cox and Sorrell might be in stud territory, but Im not that good with judging front 7 play

Studs: Doesn't matter
Duds: Doesn't matter

No major injuries? Matters a lot.

Ok I’ll give MLF a 1/2 stud for not letting the Packers get shutout

My son just told me Travon Diggs just had the best grade of any of our CBs all season long. For real??

I'm actually going to give Tune a STUD. Why? I imagine the conversation went something like this:

"Tune! You're up. You're not going to have anyone to block for you. You won't have anyone to throw to. Your mission is to stay on the field to make sure the guys who can actually play are healthy next week."

Job well done.

I picked Baltimore. Yet found myself rooting for the Steelers. I guess somewhere down deep inside I still am inclined to want Aaron to Win. It’s hard to break rooting for a guy who played here for 18 years mixed with some sentimental feelings. It would be sad to see his last game ended by a Kicker missing a XPA. We’ve been down that road too many times

Too much like his time in Green Bay!

Huge Win!! What a great game to end regular season. That was almost as fun as a Green Bay Win!

Packers Vs Steelers SuperBowl! ;)

He will get to face that Texan D. Should be a low scoring affair.

I agree. And the queens were playing to win. I thought the D held up v well considering the guys playing.

As for Tune, well hold on to Ridder......

Are we hanging on to this kid? I don't know if I can take all the puns.
I don't know if we can take the lousy play.

Well seeing someone in action, and the queens were playing to win, can help to eliminate them as well. So the 34 yards total passing wasn't for nothing. So long Tune (and a buncha puns). The Packers can do a lot better. Hell suit up Old School! He's play and he'd play better.

And Tune isn't worth keeping on the PS.

Well said OS. I felt the same way about the game last night. Rodgers has certainly done things to **** just about everyone off, but as you note OS, he gave us a lot of winning, competitive football for many, many years. The good far outweighs the bad.

I don't think the Steelers will be going far. Then again, who knows? I'm up for a Packers/Steelers rematch!

Ouch, Texas will be a tough out in the playoffs milani. They started the season 0-3, so it's an unbelievable run, and yeah, they have a great D.

I did too. Only for Rodgers though.
Yeah it was hard not to cheer for Rodgers. And considering all the trouble he's stirred up over the last few years, it was fun to just see him playing winning football. Rodgers being Rodgers again on the field.

I doubt that the Steelers will get past the Texans, but Rodgers last game will be in the playoffs. That seems right.

Interesting, thanks to you and your son BA.

I wonder how they grade CBs - passes defended, passer rating against, pass break ups, and on.

I hope it's true and Gluten found an easy way to shore up the CB group before the season ends.

They did seem to play well, as did the D overall. It's good to remember that the queens were playing to win, and were held to 16 points.

Does anyone know - did Stackhouse play? The guys is an UDFA and I thought had a good camp. And then, nothing......
