Game 7: Raiders @ Packers - Sunday, October 20th Noon

[wildcat83]

Renfrow was a guy I had hoped the Packers would draft. Probably won’t ever be a star, but bet he has a very long career as a productive slot receiver.

I just do not understand what has happened to this defense. This was all set to be the strength of the team. What changed from early in the season? Carr is embarrassing them. The only time they've stopped him is when he's stopped himself.

Why do teams still elect to receive after winning the coin toss? It gives them a 50% chance at forfeiting a possession. I realize there’s an intangible benefit to scoring first and forcing your opponent to play from behind, but even my middle school coach had us defer and he was no tactician.

Carr is an accurate passer, actually on a torrid pace to start the year. Getting rid of the ball really quickly.

Last 2 games they put 31 on a respectable Colts D and 24 on the Bears vaunted defense. This is a good NFL offense, they are going to score. Our defense missing a few guys, playing a lot more zone than normal. I’m not to panic mode yet, 17 through 3 isn’t a terrible pace.

Maybe Rodgers told them to take a couple weeks off so he could go on a tear himself

[OldSchoolSnapper]

That 17 may not look bad but 24 looks worse. Carr is getting rid of the ball immediately, playing very well. He's over 70% completion on the season. Defense has not looked good at all, but sometimes the other team is good.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

So Lazard is going to be the random guy that steps up this year. What a grab.

[nodakfan17]

The Packers are beating Oakland with their own game by chewing all this clock. Realistically, at this pace, how many possessions does Oakland have left? 3?

Had a drop down the sidelines or he’d be 80+ yards right now. Hopefully he stays involved once Adams comes back.

Need one more tuddy.

Looks like the Packer teams of 5-10 years ago. Rodgers is playing phenomenally today. The offensive line is at least not a weakness, their #1 WR is on his way back and they have a solid to great 1-2 rushing attack. Really no reason to think this offense isn't on it's way to elite status again.

That's just it. This defense has done nothing positive today, not a thing. But they haven't needed to because Rodgers has controlled the entire game.

Good offense or not this has not been good defense period.

[RollieTime]

Vintage Rodgers today! Love seeing them finally throwing down field consistently! Hopefully that continues! The last couple seasons with McCarthy and the first few weeks with LaFleur were a ton of backwards passes and 4 yard outs all the time. I really hope this continues and they keep throwing downfield like they did so well the first 8 or 9 years with Rodgers at the helm. This could be a special team with the added playmakers they have on defense if the offense continues to be explosive.

[wildcat83]

Thankfully Oakland not giving up on the run.

[nodakfan17]

Thankfully Oakland not giving up on the run.

Right? My thought exactly.

Agree, the story of the day is going to be Rodgers looking vintage. Rightfully so. They have a chance to salvage something right here...

[pacopete4]

Oakland playing like they are only a score down.

[HarveysWBs]

Jacobs is really, really good. But yeah, I’d throw all day.

[adambr2]

Finally, the defense with something to hang their hat on today. Good to see.

[wildcat83]

Defense showed up!!!!

[nodakfan17]

Ingold can’t convert on the FB assist.

[yourout]

Now put these guys away.

[wildcat83]

500 yards mean nothing if the scoreboard still says 17...
