Who you got

 

[GBowner]

Definitely the D
Wilson was awesome
Kickers did their jobs

Dud: ultra conservative MLF
Coach is way too soft

 

[melvin dangerr]

Studs: Packers win, Offense, Defensive studs,
Duds: there were no Duds today

 

[PikeBadger]

Everyone's a stud. Very cleanly played game. I didn't see a dud all day. This team needs a good punt returner

 

[AGreen2AJones]

Studs: Parsons, McManus, Wilson, McDuffie, the whole D.

Dude: None really besides the 3rd and short conversions and play calling

 

[bm1090]

Dud - MLF, conservative and predictable.

Everyone else was solid to great.

 

[DoURant]

Studs:

- 2nd Half Defense was incredible
- Emanuel Wilson... what a great day. 107 yds and 2 TD's on the ground. 1st 100 yd rushing game for us this season.
- Special teams. Our punter was a stud, our Kicker was perfect, and we got a turnover off a punt.
- Parsons ... a one man wrecking crew, making everyone better. He's up to 10 sacks on the season.

Plenty more, but gotta have a limit

Duds:

Conservative play calls on consecutive 3rd and 3's, when we could have knocked them out earlier, vs settling for FG's

 

[Magooch]

Okay, try for 3-and-3 as per usual

Studs:
1. Wilson
2. Parsons
3. McDuffie

Duds:
1. Shotgun runs on 3rd and short
2. Typical conservative playcalling
3. I dunno, struggling to think of much else. TE group maybe? Sans Kraft, outside of Musgrave PI the whole group was largely non-factors...

 

[milani]

Whelan again.

Dud: ultra conservative MLF
Coach is way too soft

How so? Running the ball down your opponent's throats for big yards is "soft?" If that's the case then Lombardi was a marshmallow.

It was working and took time off the clock

I had no problem with MLF today. He took his points and once we had a nice lead we ate clock.

 

[longtimefan]

Skol chant was beautiful

 

[Zartan]

Studs
Wilson
Watson
Parsons and rest of the DL
The Mocking of the Skol chant

Duds
Vanilla playcalling early on.

Who you got

The Packer defense was awesome, but really, I can't believe how awful the Vikings offense is. They'd have to improve just to be putrid.

JJ McCarthy looks a lot like Christian Ponder.

 

[AmishMafia]

Studs.
MLF and his playcalling. This was one of the fastest games I can recall - or so it seemed. We have a short week and a more important game coming up. The running heavy game was purposeful, IMHO, to burn the clock and lessen the impact on the players. Conversely the Lions had to play an extra quarter. I wonder if the difference will be noticed.

I really think we made them look that bad. They have shown they can put points on the board at times.

Exactly. Wilson looked better today than Jacobs has all season.

 

[BrokenArrow]

2. Typical conservative playcalling

We won 23-6. What would you have done differently to improve on that outcome?

 

[milani]

First and foremost you play to win the game. Does not matter how.

 

[OldSchool101]

I had no problem with MLF today. He took his points and once we had a nice lead we ate clock.

Correct. I think too many fans get caught up in style points. We won by 17 points and still had the ball in Vikings territory 1st n 10 Minn38 when we let the clock run off.
Did all that without our WR1, TE1. RB1

Imagine had Jacobs, Kraft and Reed been healthy. This is easily a 4+ score win. Better yet this effectively ended the Vikings season. Maybe not as statistically but no way does Minnesota Win out.

MLF knew the Vikings were not going to move the ball quickly down the field on our defense. In the Dallas game he knew we had to score points.

 

[smacker]

Went to the game today. Fun game to be at. Offensive line could still use some work on some running plays but overall good an d better than lately.

Duds: Ticket holders that would rather make a buck than support the Packers.. Way to much purple in the stadium today.

 

[gopkrs]

Studs Wilson, Parsons, Whelan...everybody
Note it looks like the line is better with Belton at R guard.
Dud LaFleur for running it every first down, for not hiking ball under center hardly ever and for not having a killer instinct. At least he's willing to throw on 2nd down now
