Great to see MLF game plan work without, the constant interruption of "hero ball crap." The flow, momentum and continuation of offensive series was refreshing. I am sure MLF was having a good time. The team speed and energy level is contagious, very supportive of teammates.
The defense looked fast & aggressive. Lots of team tackling. Promising hard nose playing. No Kevin King crap. And this is pre-season,..bring on those bears. GPG!!

My heart goes out to my brothers & sisters here who were unable to see our last preseason game with SEA. Thoughts off top of my head:

It was about as expected, and then not, which is in fact, expected. SEA presented a fairly even match, despite Locke starting at QB and for roughly 3Q…

SEA had RB juice flowing early, and, I’ll be damned if GB didn’t shut it down when it mattered most! Good to see.

Thought our O was solid with the 1s. Packers run O looks punishing there. Watson snagged a TOO EASY back shoulder TD from Love to complete Love’s day on his 3rd drive for a 9-0 score. Rock solid. Heath made some plays with the 1s, then had his 1st drop of preseason. Musgrave with a big 1D. Reed delivered. Dillon carried the 1s, as Aaron Jones didn’t play.

#1 D ALL HATS ON THE BALL - like we haven’t seen in more than a decade. Kenny Clark showed up big with noticeable help from Slaton, who also had a nice showing. Those two were dialed in.

So was Andres Carlson, making the longest FG at Lambeau for the Packers from 57 yds out. Period. Made it look easy. Also nailed a 43 yd FG early. Extra Point blocked was not on Carlson, but a great play by a SEA gunner. O’Donnell w the hold. Thinking Whelan wins P job.

Brooks, Wooden, LVN, Cox Jr., Valentine, Johnson Jr., McDuffie, Ballentine and Sapp III with great showings on D. All should make this roster. SJC too, if memory serves. Wilson ran with 2s, and had virtually NO HOLES to run through most of his tenure. Made the most of it despite that w +63 yds rushing(?)… Patrick Taylor looked sharp in his limited opportunities. They battled hard and would love to see all 4 RBs make this team.

Haven’t reviewed. Watched for pure fun. And, fun it was!

Newman… that dud is gone. Not a spell check error.

Cheers, friends!

Doubs didn’t play. With the exception of Heath, the starting catchers dropped far too many early on to let Love or the O get any rhythm. That has to improve. Heath showed why he was getting snaps with Love. He strikes me as a more talented Lazard as a catcher and equally physical. Dillon looks energized, a different proposition. So does Kenny Clark. Both players could be in for a big year.

One thing that has been consistent is the lack of yards per attempt. That doesn’t matter in preseason, the drops magnify it too. However, that can’t be a signature of our O this year as it was of LaFleur’s impotent O last year. Over to you Matt.

Oh brother. Safety sucks. Our best performers might be Sapp and Tyrelle Ford, who isn’t really a safety. No one else earned a spot on play that we saw today. The same can be said of Newman. While Rhyan I thought played well, we have to find a second viable back up G.

Overall, this was a decent showing against a good D and an O starting a veteran back up and second team catchers, but we have jugs time needed by starters and some serious pro player work on G and S options.

It's funny how when there were four preseason games, the last one was meaningless, and now that there are three, the last one is still meaningless. Well, not completely meaningless of course, but it felt a lot less consequential than the first two games.

The first string offense did the same thing it did in the first two games: start slow and eventually generate a TD. It seemed like kind of an empty exercise to me--probably less intense than a typical practice session. We already knew that the offense can function on this basic level. A bad performance would've been concerning, while the mostly good performance that they turned in felt more like they were just holding serve. It's time for a real game--after what will be an excruciating two-week wait.

Malik Heath looked like he belonged, but we already knew that. I love how he reaches out and snatches the ball out of the air. "That's MY ball," he seems to be saying. I noticed a contrast with Samori Toure, who stood there and let the ball come to him. One of them got knocked away by a defender. I still think Toure will make the team, but Heath very well may have passed him up for the #4 WR spot. Grant Dubose had one catch, I think. He'll probably be safe if they put him on the practice squad. Dontayvion Wicks should make the roster as the #6 WR if healthy.

The safeties are looking like a mess. Let's get ready to watch opposing offenses attack the deep middle against our defense.

Royce Newman is lost and needs to be cut. Two penalties today, and both were really blatant: a false start and a hold. There has to be a better guard somewhere on the waiver wire after cut-downs, unless they want to just roll with Sean Rhyan as the backup and either put him in or move Zach Tom inside if there is an injury.

It was great to see Anders Carlson kicking with authority. I think O'Donnell is punting slightly better than Whelan, but maybe they should keep Whelan anyway. He's young, and he should improve.

I'm eagerly awaiting the cut-downs on Tuesday. There are always some surprises, and there really are a lot of bubble players this year.

I always wonder just how bubble players there are versus the coaches knowing before pre season game 3 who is making the 53. My take, it's practice that these decisions are really made and not game play.
Tre Lance for example wasn't very good in practice. Wonder how many like him we have? Also why do teams pick up the cut guys for practice squad versus looking at what's available? Sure our guys know the system , so what practice guys aren't going to play any new guys would have plenty of time to learn it.

Cox will be a hard cut, I believe he will make the team. This game will help him get to the 53.

Yup, Cox has already gathered a great fans auditory.
