O'Connell played it vanilla. Did not have to punt several times. But JJ was not impressive. Playing against backups and not having to score because your opponent has no offense should have produced a lot more. Packers D did well. Credit to Hafley.
Good summary of a regular season game that was somehow LESS interesting than a PS game. But it served its purpose. The backup D played surprisingly well. Tune was, sorry, out of tune. Couldn't help it milani......
It is. I just enjoyed going into Philly back in 2010 and defeating Michael Vick after what he had done to us in 2002. And then getting the Bears a few weeks later. Wish we could write the same script.
Well even though the Bears are the #2 seed, I don't believe they are the 2nd-best team in the playoffs. This is one year where playoff seeding should have still included all division winners, but seed according to record. Both the Rams and Niners won one more game than the Bears, yet they are seeded 5th and 6th.
I doubt that he is coaching for his job. Unless the Packers hit a losing season with Love at QB it is unlikely. Will MLF get a new contract or an extension. Remains to be seen.
I agree milani. The chatter about firing MLF has been overdone. But an extension for him, and Gluten? That's gonna be tricky.
The Eagles did practically the same but they were not in the same status as us. Why they think playing the 9ers is the same as playing the Packers after 18 weeks makes no sense. The point spread against GB would be larger than SF.
None of the personnel decisions yesterday were easy. They went down to the last day. MLF indicated that he had to use some of the regulars simply because there were not enough back ups to fill every spot. So somebody had to play. Next week no one will worry about that. All hands on deck and if the ship sinks no one will worry about the next week.
Yeah, honestly, I don't get all the Rodgers hate around here. He did win us a Lombardi, after all.
Heck I’m still able to run pretty fast. I bet I can out perform Tune up in the 1st half. He has -7 yards passing. I’d just roll out every play and throw it away and I’d get you that 7 yards back!
I never did care about his off the field antics. The main thing that upset me was that he was 1-4 in NFCCGs, and that he couldn't beat the 49ers. Not all his fault, arguably, but still annoying.I have never really waivered from being a huge Rodgers fan, when he is on the field. However, his off the field schtick and BS got old and tiring. For Rodgers the Football player, if the Packers don't win the SB this year, I would love for him to ride out carrying the Lombardi. I bet his wife would find a place to stick it.

Actually I get it and don't understand your extreme animosity
Rodgers was doing those petty short passes in the first half. But he really flinged a few in the 2nd half. Should have been an overtime game.
He didn't really let Tune play. And I don't understand that. How you going to actually learn somethingHe was just trying to get his FG/PAT team some extra work, they hadn't seen the field all day!
But I agree, if I am MLF, I tell Tune to start the kneel downs around the 2nd Q.
Since both kickers missed at the end, Steelers an XP and Ravens a FG, I guess it balanced out. Now had Boswell made his XP, I think they said he hadn't missed on in 2 years, the Ravens needed a TD at the end.
I agree. In MLF's defense, with the way the backup OL was playing, he probably didn't want to see Tune get destroyed. While I was very unimpressed with Tune, that was probably the toughest position he could have been put into. Mostly backups playing with him, against the starting Viking defense, in a meaningless game.
