Stud: The Packers, Amazon Prime (best game presentation among all the networks)
Dud: Maybe the refs? But the Packers were so dominant it didn’t matter much

Studs:
1. Keisan Nixon - 5 Pass Break Ups...5!
2. Tucker Kraft - 6 for 124 and a TD
3. Defense - 5 Sacks, 51 rushing yards on 19 carries, Jayden Daniels only 17 yds on 7 carries.

Duds:
1. Too many penalties, after playing a pretty clean game last week
2. Jayden Reed injury, unfortunately, I think he will be out for awhile
3. Belton struggled in pass protection, he will get better with experience, but we really missed Tom on the right side.

Honorable Mention:
Dontayvion Wicks is having a good start to the season, and with Reed's injury we are going to need him. 6 catches ( 4 tonight ),and no drops in two games.

Hoping somehow Reed has a minor injury. That TD catch he made (called back) was a thing of beauty.

STUD: ENTIRE DEFENSE
had you told me after 2 games we’d held Detroit and Washington to a Rushing average of 48.5 yards per game and 2.35 per carry? I wouldn’t believe you.

I think they said this is the first team to start out the season with two wins within five days. That does sound like a laborious task.

Some of those penalties were complete BS. The hold on Fitz. The supposed hold on Hobbs. I'm not worried.
Yes some were crap, but I think 3 ST penalties again. Gotta clean things up. Refs seemed one sided at times, holding wasn't being called on Washington's line. Actually surprised they called an illegal hands to face on them.

Everyone ready for this………………
Nixon - Dude I think had 5PBUs on the night, he just had the best game of his career IMO.
Cooper - He is already a top 5 off ball LB in the league without hesitation, I wouldn’t argue against Top3 type play.
Bullard - I think it was his best NFL game…when he was in off coverage and read the quick pass, dodged blocks and hammered it was insane.
DEFENSIVE FRONT AS A WHOLE - insanely strong game!

Duds
Belton - struggled, dude is amazing or terrible…he’ll smooth that out.
Musgrave - this is unfair but I’m trying to get to three as I always do and he cracks me up with his ability to be falling or tripping.
Rhyan - I gotta watch the All22 but I saw a couple reps he really got pushed and beat.

LaFleur said Broken Collarbone in his press conference, will miss significant time. But hope to have him in the lineup again this season.
Rodgers broke his in October one season on throwing arm and he never played

Studs:

1. Cooper - 10 total tackles. 7 solo. 0.5 sacks. 4 pressures. 2 QB hits. This guy was everywhere. I legitimately believe by the end of the season he will be widely considered to be the best LB in the league.

2. Nixon - 2 tackles and 5 PBU's. For context prior to tonight Nixon had 16 PBUs in his entire CAREER! And his previous best season had 7 PBUs for the entire season. Probably the best game of his pro career. He has been up and down but IMO is staking a claim for CB1 at the moment.

3.Kraft - 6 rec, 124 yards, TD. Like Cooper, sooner than later I think he is going to be viewed in that same tier of ELITE tight ends as Kittle, Bowers, Kelce, etc.

Honorable Mentions:
Quay Walker (He and Coop are in great sync with each other, he looks to finally be putting it all together for the most part)
Micah Parsons (the bar is already sky-high. 8 pressures)
Jordan Love (surgeon when not pressured)
Savion Williams (let's get this guy some more touches)

Duds:
Much like last week I am having to be a bit nit-picky.

1. Two weeks in a row and it seems like the offense has came out red-hot and then stalled out a bit in the second half. I don't know if there's any one precise explanation at this point yet. Sloppiness? Taking the foot off the gas? Not adjusting to defensive adjustments? Of course they have ultimately still got the job done when it's mattered but something I will be keeping my eye on.

2. Reed injury - of course I can't hold it against him, and we fared okay without him, but IMO Reed is our de facto "WR1". LaFleur says it is a broken collarbone, so he is likely going to miss some pretty significant time. I feel like they have been trying to slowly integrate Golden more so that schedule might need ramped up a bit.

3. Sloppiness/penalties. Admittedly some were pretty ticky-tack, and we are dealing already with multiple backups on OL which I think accounted for a few... they just happened to come at really inopportune times. A few less penalties and this one's a total bloodbath.

4. Micah Parsons. Only half a sack? What the heck, man?! ;)

I don't want to be too prisoner of the moment as it's still very early but I have to say this team just feels really, really special this year. Haven't had that same sort of feeling for quite some time.

I think you guys hit on everyone so I'm just gonna call two studs, one surprising me and one for potential.
Surprise for me - I'm becoming a believer...Bullard.
Future...Luke Musgrave. I'm thinking he's going to get more opps and pull through for us.

One absolute dud. Maybe someone can explain the logic to me. Washington going for two. An extra point nade it 10 points. Just seemed stupid to me.

They need 3 scores regardless so they were going for the straight up win if they managed a miracle rather than push it to overtime.
