Defense?

The Good: Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones, Davante Adams and Jaire Alexander.
The Bad: Early Red Zone offense and 4th quarter defense.
The Ugly: Our injuries.

Bring on the Lionesses. Go Pack Go! Thanks, Since ‘61

With all due respect for Davante,had a hell of a game, are you kidding me. Rodger's Show starts the discussion of good this week ,unless there is of course, a great category. The Horn is definitely always on the Ugly list, but can we just once not be hindered a whole game without losing a key defensive player, the biggest ugly ,the injury to Clark. Especially against the purple guys. Was very much looking forward to seeing him against them,all game long.

Good- lafleurs offense being run beautifully by aaron. Mvs shaking it off. Rodgers spreading the wealth with no hesitation and making seemingly the right decision every damn play. The bad- savage looked a bit lost in coverage a few times. Dean lowry. The 2 point conversions. If im the lions i go for 2 every time next week till we do somethin. The ugly- lane taylor and kenny clark going down. Lane was lookin like a clear billy turner upgrade.

The good... A win at Minnesota on opening day

The bad... not smashing Dillon into the end zone around the goal line

The ugly... 4th Quarter D... and Clark and Taylor's (and Patrick's) injuries

Should we sign Snacks Harrison and Veldheer for depth/ insurance?

Go Pack!

The Good...Lazard and Ervin picking up right where the left off.

The bad...the call on Savage was bad...he went in with his shoulder and head up....they called a 15 yrd penalty
More bad...About 5 non call holdings on Z Smith. Whomever was handling him...from the Vikings were holding him tons.
The ugly
Injuries...with Clark its a hamstring...hopefully he recovers quickly.

The Good: Time of possession. ADAMS, ADAMS, ADAMS- 14 times. DEGUARA: the block that wiped out two Vikings on Lazards run- the guy is a stud. Petine’s call and execution by Alexander on the crushing of Cousins for the safety. Game balls: Rodgers, Adams, the whole offensive line (Rodgers uni doesn’t even have to go to the cleaners), , AND Flores’s masterful game plan.

The Bad: Maddening inconsistency of MVS, giving up too many TDS when the game should have been in lock down mode. Injuries- hoping Clark and Lanes injuries aren’t to bad.

All in all, beating the Vikings in Minnesota...Well... just made my year! GO PACK!

The bad outshines the good , giving up 34 points and several 2 point conversions takes some of the shine off Rodgers who played like we expect him too .

The good - Spreading the wealth by a well balanced attack, especially in the passing game.

The bad - The defense, especially the 4th quarter.

The ugly - Injuries

Rodgers should have been in the good. This was one of his finest games in years. He had 12 incompletions out of 44 passes and I know of 3 drops and 1 sideline bobble in those 12. I don't remember one time that he was at risk for an interception. This was vintage Arod. It looks like he has cut back on his back foot throwing and that is a good sign for this year.

A few additional thoughts:

Time of possession: 40:37 to 18:44 in favor of GB. Seriously, just let that settle for a minute.

Yes, Davante was good today. He was being "covered" (*cough, cough*) by the NFL equivalent of a blind, three-legged kitten, but yeah, he was good. Even so, I'll wait to see how he fares against people who are qualified to play the cornerback position. The Vikes have a real problem there, and Adams obviously exposed it. But don't expect ARod to be throwing the ball 44 times every week, or for Adams to catch 14.

Injuries are the biggest story this morning. Not even close. If the news is bad for Clark and the O line, then game 1 was a net loss, even if the team won.

Man, if MVS could just catch a football.... Here are some of the WRs that the Packers were supposed to draft, according to TV and internet talking heads. OK, this isn't really fair, I know that, but if people are really going to argue about "what did you do to WIN RIGHT NOW" then let's see how "right now" looks after one game. Heck, let's even include the ones picked before the Packers were on the board.

Henry Ruggs - 2 rushes, 11 yards; 3 catches 55
Ceedee Lamb 5-59
Jalen Reagor 1 for 55
Justin Jefferson 2 for 26
Tee Higgins - zip
Michael Pittman - 2 for 10 yards
Laviska Shenault - 2 rushes, 10 yards; 3 catches 37 and 1 TD
Van Jefferson - 1 for 31
Denzel Mims - DNP
MVS - 4 for 96 1 TD

So if we are really looking to "win right now," then MVS 1 - stud WR draft picks 0.

Imagine if MVS ever learns how to catch a football....

Good: The OL, not allowing a sack and few pressures despite the shuffling as a result of injuries.

Bad: The interior DL being gashed by runs. I expect some new faces being worked into the rotation.

Ugly: Points allowed.

The Good...The Packers WHOLE offense. Hey folks, the Packers had 522 total yards of offense on the road without the benefit of anything that resembles a TC or preseason. Davante Adams is a BEAST!

Aaron Rodgers doesn't look like he can't do it to me anymore...Not even close!!

Rodgers continuing to go back to MVS...Hopefully this starts to pay off and we get to a point where alligator arms and MVS don't belong un the same sentence.

The Packers defense through the first 3 quarters. What that was in the 4th quarter is inexcusable. I mean that was even a "Prevent Defense" IMO because you still have to give the opposing offense SOME resistance playing a prevent don't you?

The Bad... 1st and goal at the 1 yard line...WHERE was the 248 lbs. RB taken in the 2nd round with thighs like tree trunks? STOP with the fancy crap MLF...Sometimes it's better to put fancy on the shelf and just smash the hell out of your opponent. Dillon right there would have accomplished that, I have NO DOUBT.

Injuries... Kenny Clark walked off without a limp (Just watched him walk off the field again). There was maybe a very small hitch to his step but no limp. Hopefully that's a good sign.

Greg Jennings as an announcer...#UGH!!

The Ugly... The FG drive they gave up at the end of the first half. There was 14 seconds left when MVS caught that TD pass from Rodgers...14 SECONDS!! Are you F'ing kidding me Pettine! Granted that penalty on Savage was BS, he hit him with forearm and shoulder but still. Without the penalty, they still were in FG distance. That just can't happen if your a real contender.

(Bonus Category) The SUPER SWEET...The 49ers got BEAT at home by the Cardinals!!!

Did Nagler kneel?

Good: Aaron Charles Rodgers & Davante Adams combo, can't get any better. Rest of the offense and execution. I will give MVS a 1/2 good for hanging in there and making some key plays, but he needs to clean up those drops. 1st Quarter defense.

Bad: To slow getting plays to huddle. Run blocking especially at the goal line. Not using Dillon at the goal line. MVS drops. 2nd and 3rd Quarter defense

Ugly: Injuries. 4th Quarter defense.

The good? Packer Football is back baby!!
The bad? Aaron Rodgers is a baaaaaaaad man!!!! lol.
The ugly? The timing of time outs. *sigh* but no worries.. There is a LOT of ball games left ;)
Thanks for all you do!!

I'm adding a GREAT category.
Great - Rodgers execution of this offense.
Good - Two times the time of possession. That's a serious butt kicking.
Bad - Injuries. Cross your fingers and check waiver wire and practice squads.
Ugly - Goal line offense and defense.

I am not sure of Aaron’s criticism of the coaching staff’s use of Elton Jenkins? I rewatched the early part of the game and Jenkins did a fine job at RT. Then when the injuries occurred they put him back inside. He did a fine job. He’s a versatile and very good o lineman. Maybe the staff was more comfortable with Taylor and Jenkins then with Jenkins and Wagner? Wagner missed time because of injury. Seems like this is nitpicking.

Good: Aaron Rodgers to Davante
Bad: Defense, as usual
Ugly: Wasting timeouts to avoid delay penalties. Seriously, how hard can this be to fix?

Bad ... Red zone ...Dillion needs to be the man down there

I'm gonna add "Ugly for no Reason" Greg Jennings as an analyst. Fox sports is better than that. He was bad back when he started, understandable. That he hasn't improved and maybe even regressed is on fox for not helping him develop or just moving on.
Loved him as a Packer though, an absolute gamer. GPG

Vikings defense looks like an achilles heel to me. No pass rush and no secondary is a bad combo.

Our defense may not be as bad as the Vikings but they did not look good yesterday. Given our huge TOP advantage yesterday I can't believe the problem was they ran out of gas in the 4th Q. Instead, I think Pettine switched gears and once again, we proved we can't play that way. Please don't do it again.

Lions gave away a victory twice yesterday. Lions will have smoke coming out of their ears this week. So should Packers' defense.

Can Packer offense be consistent from week to week with big TOP advantage and mistake free play? Cross your fingers.

It will take a month for everything to settle down and for each team's identity to become apparent although things don't look good for the Vikings defense.

If Pack can go 4-0 or even 3-1 during that time, while becoming more consistent on defense, GB will be tough to catch in the division.

After an offseason of countless whiny posts from annoying Vikings fans, I've realized that the-

Good: The Packers beat the Vikings in their shiny new stadium easily, in control the whole game.

Bad: The Packers didn't beat the Vikings by 20 points.

Ugly: The Packers didn't beat the Vikings by 30 points.

We can nitpick about mistakes here and there and where they need to improve, but the bottom line that life is good right now to be a Packers fan.
