It would have been a loss if the roles were reversed .. our defense didn't have an answer. We got a nice break when the Dallas receiver bobbled a pass that eventually landed in Randall's hands for a pick 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he was struggling in his sophomore season I was genuinely thinking "was I wrong" or "hey, wha happen." This might be Aaron Jones' job from now on. Davonte has reached must sign territory these days. He's the Packers most talented receiver now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It was nice seeing Marty B make some plays finally. I don't think his statline was huge but we got glimpses of what we hoped for when we signed him. Hell, all the TEs played pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else wonder why it took injuries to Monty and Williams for Jones to get a game day touch? Could he really have shown none of this talent in camp? In the pre-season games, he consistently looked like the most talented of the rookies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollino14 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I think we should all enjoy this win today. It's great starting 4-1 with the schedule we have faced and the injuries we have suffered. This team has had a long way to go, but tonight is a time to be happy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty knows the offense much more and Jones knowledge cuts the playbook in half. Rodgers said something along those lines but yes it would have been nice getting him some work versus chicago. Rodgers doesnt like cutting the playbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah, probably as simple as Jones not getting many first team reps in camp, so he was a much bigger unknown on game day. I'll just be happy with how it's worked out so far and not care about the why's of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incognito_man Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Many will crap on the defense but they netted a true 20 points against Dallas on their home field with Dallas' backs against the wall while down a couple guys. Very, very solid effort from the defense. Still, would have obviously preferred a stop on their last real drive. But, as others have stated, #1 takeaway from this game is Aaron flippin Jones.@NormSizedMidget Also, 99% whistle blew before Perry picked it up. Refs blow those last plays dead after an illegal forward pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeightTheVillain Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 It won't show up in the stat line but Clay earned that check today. Was setting the edge like a champ in the run game. He was consistently fighting through TE and OT doubles on stretch runs. He definitely doesn't have the explosion he used to, but he played like a man today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously Dallas was gifted 4 free points off that terrible flag on their first possession, so at that point they really should have had 27. What's the -7?

Quark3 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Rules question: when Dallas had 4th and 1 on their last drive, Elliot dove through the line and extended the ball forward so that the ball reached the 19 yard line, the first down marker, then pulled it back in to his chest. On that basis, replay ruled that he gained the first down. But, why? If this was a goal line situation a ruling of TD would make sense, because once you the ball breaks the plane, that's it, TD, play over. But in this case, the ball breaking the first down plane of the 19 yard line doesn't stop the play, so when Zeke pulled the ball back to his body around the 20 and was tackled, making it now short of the 19, seems like the ball should have been spotted there, not where he had extended it to, making it Packers ball. What am i missing about the rule here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
