Gut Reactions: Packers barely show up in win over Jaguars

Aaron gives his gut reactions to the Packers lackluster win over the Jaguars 

  • That was hard to watch. 
  • This team looks soft and like a bunch of front runners.
  • I can't stand how predictable this team is in some situations. 
  • One of the worst games we've seen from Davante since his second year
  • The situational calls are just obvious on both sides of the ball.
  • Three man rush in the red zone. 
  • Low crossers against the blitz. 
  • Packers defense really missed Jaire's physical play on some of those outside wide receiver screens
  • How about MVS? Not a bad day at the office. 
  • Rashan Gary had some embarassing pass rush reps
  • But he saved his best for last. Outstanding work on the bull rush to get the sack. 
  • Being a liability in any kind of incelement weather is just not great trait for a punter who plays in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 
  • Interested to hear how Rodgers characterizes this game during his appearance with McAfee on Tuesday. 
  • Going to be a fun week. 
  • Go Pack Go.

I can't figure out how a team barely passes on you, yet they either win or give you fits. The bucs, the vikings loss, and this game the opposing team hasn't been moving the ball through the air. Two of those were losses and this one was close. The jaguars had 260 yards of total offense. Special teams played a pretty significant role in this game, but still.

The defense stopped the undrafted rookie RB from gashing them in the 2nd half. He was averaging almost 7 ypc in the first half. They were giving up 3.4 ypc after that. Weird game. Unusual drops and turnover from Adams. Nice to see MVS do exactly what MVS should do. I keep seeing a lot of ugly play from the edge defenders against the run. Surprised they didn't use some of the 6 man fronts like they did last week to stuff the run and make the late round rookie QB beat you through the air.

Well to be fair without 2 TOs the Jags probably don’t score more than 13 points the Packers Off actually kept the Jags in the game week. I mean 4 sacks, int and 260 total yards is usually a recipe for a beat down any other week.

On the other hand we knew that they were going to run and we left Winn inactive and reverted to light lines till late in the day, Pettine’s use of the front 7 is just not working against the run or the pass. When the run was dead as an option we saw the Smiths and Gary could have terrorized their QB all day.

It’s not them, it’s what we are asking them to do to contain the run. Without a radical changed in approach we will lose to a team that has a good runner and be more vulnerable against the pass because our rushers aren’t. Let the 3-4 be a true 3-4: use D linemen and rotate rushers.

A rotation of six D lineman is essential. Montgomery seems to think so. Pettine's scheme does not help the ILBs crash. Martin has to be on the field. He brings the heat. Safeties should have grabbed 3 picks today.

Not to mention the return for 7 points which really isn’t on the defense.

But people don’t want to be fair when they launch their “defense sucks” narrative. The defense got the job done. In fact, in 9 games this season, we’ve held six opponents under their season average. I think they played ..... ok. We don’t tackle real well and we probably shouldn’t have cut our leading tackler, but that’s history.

Even without both starting corners, we stopped these guys. One TD and two FGs. Admittedly, the Jags are not a juggernaut.

This team is a finesse team. The d needs a crowd to get even some fire. It was definitely a "woof" kinda game. I wonder if the packers would benefit the most from a playoff bubble. 60 degrees in a dome. Be great for the offense. And the d doesnt seem to like the cold neither. Aj dillon wouldve been nice to have today. Woof. John lovett was missed on coverage. I really dont know how to feel about these guys.

Looking forward to seeing the structure. Suspect it is heavily back loaded with a nice signing bonus upfront. I don't see how they do this under the $175 million cap, so maybe Gute knows about a league/NFLPA deal to smooth or average the cap over a few years. Only way I see enough room to do this deal. even if it is backloaded.

Let’s see what the actual terms are.
P.S.
Per nfl.com:

“David Bakhtiari has agreed to a four-year extension worth up to $105.5 million in new money, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per sources. The contract includes a $30 million signing bonus, a record for an offensive lineman, and another $30-plus million in March roster bonuses over the course of the next 28 months, Rapoport added. The practical guarantee is for at least $62.8 million before the end of 2022.

With a base salary of $23 million per year (and potentially $23.5 million), Bakhtiari becomes the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history and is now on Green Bay's books through the 2024 season.”

No wonder no cash to throw around this year. We look to have put all our eggs in his basket.

DL, WR, RB, CB draft favorites.

You misquoted Rapoport. Ian R. wrote "At its base, it's $23M per year and could reach $23.5M per year."

No way Bakh has a $23M base salary anytime soon. Bakh probably has cap savings as early as 2022 (albeit with a boatload of dead money).

It’s $100M over four years. That’s what you’re budgeting for the LT position. You can push some numbers around but it’s $25 million a year for four years. It’s the biggest contract for an OT in league history.

I don’t understand how we kept Clark and Bakhtiari, so I guess it’s a good thing we have Russ Ball.

Nobody over 30 is worth that who doesn't throw the rock. You don't give an older player an 8 million raise who does not have upside but has a long steady downside. I would have preferred a TEAM friendly deal to help pay a few more salaries and a Championship run. This makes it much harder to accomplish.

It doesn't matter who it is. 8 mill raise for same is some serious inflation. It shows he didn't care if he was going to stay a packer or not and doesn't care if others get cut to pay his salary. Not a TEAM player move. That's what bothers me. Screw everyone I'm getting paid. It's not like it's his first deal and played for scraps on his last deal.

Just like Rodgers' contract.

Difference is, Rodgers is a QB, which means he's made far more during his career already than any non-QB would make, and as a starting quality QB, he's likely to play far longer during his career than almost any player position outside of placekicker / punter.

NFL owners are typically billionaires. Maybe instead of insisting players take less, the answer should be to expand the salary cap.

I think it was probably a consensus. “What’s his value and is he worth it?”

This is a Buy from 1265. They’re betting he’s worth it

Personally, I wouldn’t have done this, but it’s a solid move, IMO. When you look at Bakhtiari, and Jenkins, and Turner and Wagner....that’s a solid group that’s all under contract for the next couple of years.

Personnel moves are the domain of the GM.

Who do you bag in the draft 2021? The top four OTs will be gone by the mid-rounds. His deal probably gives them two to three years security on the left flank. Turner still gets whipped around by DEs, etc not putting the future in him.

I think this is about winning with Rodgers, and how that involves keeping him protected.

Bakhtiari, Turner, Jenkins, and Wagner are all under contract for two more years after this season. This means using bargains at the skill positions.....rookie contracts, UDFA s, Day 3 picks.
.
It works because of Rodgers having time to make good decisions and throws, and it will continue to work for the next couple of years. People will bitch and moan that poor Aaron Rodgers has to work with garbage receivers. And so it goes.

I’d draft defense. All four Super Bowls we have won have involved a HOF QB and an elite defense.

With a lot of the bonus structure in roster bonuses, this is really more of a "pay as you go" kind of deal. Keeping #69 gets pricey after 2021, but there are ways to mitigate that.

This might have been the only way to keep Bakh, and--frankly--the Packers put themselves in a position where not resigning him puts a lot more pressure on their drafts.

New England fans complain about theirs. San fran fans complains about their draft failures. It just so happens they have traditionally been really good teams. Go spend some time on any one of those teams forums and you will hear people saying the same thing. At the end of the day, green bay is the #1 team in the NFC right now.

The Packers favored Lazard and MVS over picks and that seems to be panning out. They retooled the inside linebackers with what seems to be three interesting players. They got some OL depth. If Love can play this draft will be a success.

In 2005 the Packers go 4 -12. In 2006 the Pack goes 8 - 8 and fires the coach. Is that because they made a mistake and drafted Aaron Rodgers number 1 in 2005 and he was just sitting there on the bench not helping the team?

On the other side they favored Adams and Keke and some others over draft picks and maybe that will be a mistake. But blaming the draft for the team not being ready to play is way off.

The comment I am responding to is that Love is a wasted pick because he's not playing football in 2020.

The poster makes this comment every single week.

As for those who say my post means "Love = Rodgers or Favre" or that Love wasn't ranked as high as Rodgers, that's not my point. For the post that says I must not have any knowledge or memory, let me stir your memory, sir: When Rodgers was in free fall on draft day, half the football world and 3/4 of the Packers fan base was suggesting the reason all those teams passed on Rodgers was because SF and the rest of the NFL knew something bad about Rodgers' game or personality that the Packers front office didn't.

Half of the Packers fan base wanted to give Rodgers the boot, not just before he ever played a snap, but even through his first whole year as a starter. Most of Packers nation claimed it was a wasted pick because we still had Favre and what good was a 1st round QB who rode pine.

Now, I'm not making -any- predictions about Love's potential. The draft is always a crap shoot, you're gambling that the selected player is going to develop. Close to the same percentage of 1st round selections fall out of the league after their rookie contract as do those picked in later rounds (the difference is that those who DO get a second contract tend to achieve higher ceilings.) That said, the point is simple:

A 1st round selection doesn't have to play as a rookie, or even in his third year, to have the potential to have a great, positive impact on a franchise for a decade or more.. You don't know, till you know.

But harping on the draft now just seems like sitting back feverishly waiting for anything bad to happen to this team and saying "see if they only drafted better" no matter what it is that actually happens.

No style points but a win is a win I guess. Thank you Jags for calling a timeout on the 4th and 26 (it pains me to type that). Looks like we had dialed up the dreaded 3-man rush, and then switched out. If I never see another 3-man rush it will be too soon.

No. At the game, can hear in press box Packers calling for a time out after Jags switch up their formation in LOS. Lots of new stuff inline for Jags, clearly Packers surprised on both sides of LOS. Packers made some changes after half to pressure the pocket. Pettine gambled with mostly quarters and man coverage to free up the Bros and Gray. At points late in the fourth the Packers went to zero coverage giving a extra man at LOS. It worked, they won.

We need to ask a number of questions, most seriously the offensive line couldn’t block anything in the run game all day.

Darius Shepherd is our 4th best WR. EQ is ... MVS had perhaps his best game. Hope Adams and Ervin are short term injuries.

On D we play zone almost all day. Let an immobile novice QB settle. Mix in more man: we are better at it anyway.

I’m convinced Pettine’s usage of the D line and OLBs is the problem. Neutering our rush and weak against the run.

A lot of depth behind depth got time in the backfield. Be interesting to break out who did what.

I’m on the Pettine needs to go sooner not later bandwagon

I can't blame Pettine for playing a lot of zone today with his top 2 CBs on inactive.

I thought everyone was saying Jackson's more of a zone CB, anyway. If he's your default #1 outside CB on a day like yesterday, maybe playing a lot of zone makes sense.

Jacksonville scored 20 points. 7 of those were on special teams. We also turned the ball over twice that gave them short fields. You can figure roughly that every turnover is worth about 40 yards and four points, so that’s 8 off turnovers. So the defense didn’t give up much.

With the game on the line, the defense got two stops to seal the victory.

I’m not sure what the expectations are for this defense, but a lot of them seem unrealistic. In our 9 games, we’ve held our opponent under their season average 6 times.

Meanwhile, our offense struggled. We turned it over, Adams had a bad day, we went through another scoreless 3rd quarter, just like against Tampa and Minnesota.

Special teams gave up a TD and then a 30 yard punt from Scott, just ridiculous.

This team needs to find a sense of urgency. They should have blown the Jags out of the stadium.

Im confident they will show up on offense next week. Because they will get lazard back and scantling is playing better. This was his best game of the season. On defense. Someone needs to rally them. They need to find their own monentum without fans. The last stand was nice with gary and the Smiths. But the first half it almost looked like they just didnt give a shit that they were playing. The jaguars lost because they made mistakes all game. They left so many points out there. The colts will score more than 20 if the d plays like this.

Hey. Got the dub. Yes, this was a 1-7 team from a warm-weather climate in the cold starting a backup UDFA QB. But ugly wins still count.

I was encouraged by the play of MVS. The Jags were crowding the LOS, doubling Adams and daring someone else to beat them. MVS did.

Both starting CBs out. Pass rush came alive when it matters. Scott was bad and so was the run D (again).

But an ugly win is better than a pretty loss. Moving on. Hope Swerve is ok.

Yeah, it was an ugly "W", but still a "W". I was also encouraged by MVS - no drops, a TD and over 100 yards receiving. There is hope.

I was discouraged by the defense. The lack of physicality is very concerning and Pettine just seems unwilling to encourage tough football. We can't hold the edge, we're vulnerable up the middle when we play two down DL and the pass rush was poor until the final series. This is just not a SB defense despite the statistics.

Whatever it "seems", the Packers are tied for the most wins in the NFC at this point in the season. I believe they will make the playoffs. Once that happens, we'll see what we see. They have the talent at the key positions to beat anyone if they play well inside a solid game plan. But to paraphrase Herb Brooks, they don't have enough talent to win on talent alone.

Whatever happens, I doubt many will think back to this afternoon's game as meaningful. Non-conference home games against bad opponents in November rarely are meaningful. I see no reason for this one to be an exception.

True, but we failed to stop a decent but not great running back notching 7 ypc in the first half and also failed to pressure an immobile novice QB till the run was a dead option.

Neither of those facets of the defensive performance are going to work against a decent team. This was not one.

The fact that we could at the end when we started mixing in man coverage more and focused on the pass suggest it’s coaching not players.

Packers are a soft team, and they faced a hard hitting team today. Lost the turnover battle and gave up points on special teams, but still won. The third and one stuff at end, when the packers really needed the first down, kind of summed it up. They are lucky that the jags had an inexperienced qb, but let's give the defensive front credit for coming through at the end with pressure and sacks.

Note: Makes two windy game days that really grounded the packers offense.

*** Is it "D" as in decent? Still time to change the coordinator of the defense, on the one hand; on the other, good credit to the defense for coming up big in the fourth quarter.
*** Raven Greene a difference maker, a star in the making?
*** Excellent winning drive by the offense for the go-ahead touchdown; but disappointing last drive -- three-and-out -- to give the ball back to the Jaguars for a last opportunity to tie or beat us. No passes. If you have a guy in motion on third down as at least a potential ball carrier on a sweep, then maybe Jones gets that one yard for the first down.
*** Great teams don't have these close games all that often.
*** The Packers look to be fun and fascinating going forward for the rest of the season, with time to gel on both sides of the ball as a team in a quest for greatness.

On the Packers wasting Rodgers' career and Jordan Love having impact on this year's defense:

Since 2010, 8 of the Packers 9 first round draft picks have been defensive players. (Packers didn't have a 1st round selection in 2017). Oh, and in 2017, the Packers first selection was Kevin King.

Things haven't worked out great for the Packers defense, but it's not like the Packers haven't tried to improve the defense. That's a false narrative, and frankly, a lazy one.

With all that in mind.. You really think it's the Jordan Love pick that is having an impact on this year's defense?!

I thought they wasted something because of the lack of weapons?
Yeah, the other divisions look way stronger, like always. Dont know why you just look some football games............
But other than that, everyones last couple of years (lifes, money, moral, strenght) and part of the future are badly wasted. But thats not the fault of the Packers.

Jekyll and Hyde out there, I want the defense to show up strong so badly, some key plays today on some third downs. But let’s finish strong, come on pack, you can do this, defense- find your passion and fire, thank you for closing the game today. Phew, glad we got the win

When the regular season is ove, no one will remember much about this game. What will be the most important is what is their record and can they get home field? It wasn’t pretty, but they are basically a one dimensional offense without Adams since Lazard is still out. MVS really stepped up. Weren’t they playing without both starting CBS as I didn’t get to see their game?

You're right in that regard. The key fact is that they scored a W...an ugly W, but still a W.

We also lost Savage and Redmond was out. Deep depth in the backfield with only Amos, Greene and Sullivan on the field for most of the game who might be expected to get significant backfield snaps ideally.

"One of the worst games we've seen from Davante since his second year"

Agreed, And if I was a CB for the Colts, I might not be resting very easily this week, pondering what Adams will do to bounce back.

It is a long, long time since I’ve seen a star receiver roughed up as Adams was. I though that kind of play was consigned to history years ago.

I simply knew it was a HB dive on 3rd and 1 with Jones........I lost it......Aaron Jones is a dynamic player, what he is NOT is a short yardage back, not at all what he is........Lefleur is VERY predictable at times.....is he just thinking we can be vanilla and still beat the Jags, and put nothing on film????? A W is a W but man that was tough to watch......Also, we have regressed on Special teams this season.....terrible kick coverage and the weapon is a liability....

Not sure many RBs in the history of the nfl could have got that yard given the blocking. Maybe Payton with a dive over the top, because the Jags moved the OL back. I think there was a DL guy at Jones' feet even.

Watching the replay, I thought the only way it could have been successful was to bounce outside, then with the speed of the nfl, that's rarely successful.

The rest I saw coming. Every time people pick the packers by 30 I know they are in for a tough game.

The only part I was mad about was the inability of this team to convert the 3rd and 1 and seal the game. No wonder Rodgers wants to throw it on 3rd and 1 half the time.

Random Thoughts: Grind it out win. Some days you just suck. Today was one such day for the team overall. They won. That's a good sign for this team. 'Rob Peter to pay Paul'. Only so much depth to go around. Packers paid the price on special teams today. JK Scott. UGH!!! By the firing metrics on this board, MLF should be gone tonight, and Pettine should be the next HC. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. Gute is the GM, and he is not firing either after going 7-2 and leading the NFC. Give it a rest already... Packers play their base 3-5 for most of the game. Raven Greene is a monster in their base. Can see why Pettine loves him... Packer line play on both sides, just off today. Sloppy and a step slow till late in the fourth on both units. When it counted, both units executed and won. End of story. I need a (root) beer...

Murphy controls nothing. Final Boss is the executive committee. Gute reports to them, not Murphy. It's Gute's call on all player and coaching personnel. Period. Right now, Gute is one of the most powerful general managers in the NFL and in Packer history.

No one mentioned.... Myles Jack's Oscar nomination for his acting performance in a comedy. That was too funny!

The officials are hard to figure out, sometimes its ticky tacky, sometimes its not. The pass interference call that was picked up, then reinstated wasnt even PI. It was within 5yrd of the LOS and he wasnt the targeted receiver. It should have been defensive holding if anything. Just a strange calling of the whole situation. Not a big deal in the game, just a bit of a brain twister.

I am now on the "lets move on from Pettine" at the end of the year. He calls a soft defense. This was another game were pressure would have been very effective, yet he tends to play soft zone and a light rush. Man and blitzing worked well on the few occasions he called it.

This O-line is good at pass blocking and even good at Zone blocking for the run. They are not a bunch of road graders. Short yardage is not the strength of this team. They need some more creative stuff in that situation.

They made it a nail bitter, but its a win and that is what matters most.

Guess this group of game officials is already in mid season form.

"This was another game were pressure would have been very effective, yet he tends to play soft zone and a light rush.'

This is exactly why they should can Pettine now or he needs to start coaching as if the team needs to win with defense and forget that Rodgers is the QB. Have seen too many games where we start off passive on D and then hit a bump on O, and we're totally out of sync. A recipe for disaster in the big games, and postseason for sure, as we have already seen. I don't think there's any question we need a strong force as a leader on D one that creates some identity to match the offensive firepower we obviously have. Why wait?

They sure slept through this one but a win is a win is a win. Pettine’s defense drives me crazy but hey they held the jags to 20. Special teams are an adventure also. MVS continues to make plays, when Lazard comes back the top 3 WR’s could be lethal.
Let’s get the warts fixed and go beat the Colts.

Nags said: "This team looks soft and like a bunch of front runners "

Let me revise: This team IS SOFT & has been, on defense & special team, since 2010.
The whole DL except Clark should not be on an NFL roster. Lancaster is not even worthy of being a Big10 honorable mention all-conference player. Same with Lowry.

Montravius Adams & Kingsley Keke are like Zadarius & Preston & just want to around guys after QBs. NON physical, want to avoid the trenches & grunt work.

MLF has to call plays for what he has got out there not what he wants out there . Becoming too predictable.
Special teams have fallen in a hole. Our punter is out of his depth.
Oppositions are targeting Preston Smith; is it due to him or Petine ?
The problems are obvious but remain unfixed.

Other than the last series, the defense looked so placid again. The chance of getting to the SuperBowl with a defense that is generally soft and predictable is slim. If we're content to win one playoff game, ok. Otherwise you have to fire Pettine now and hope a fire is lit in the players and the interim d-coordinator brings a new approach to the run game, even if it is half way into the season. Could result in losing more games but they have to do something.

Looks to me like MM/DC are coaching the Pack again, and TT is making the draft picks/non-trades. The more things change, the more they stay the same. I do think this was an off game for the offense and I pray Gutey is much better than TT was. As to MP, he seems inept to me. I like listening to him talk but what he does on game day is absurd.
