Gut churning reaction;
First half Packers gave me swag and a little extra pump in my fist.
That team did not show up second half except for the last play of the game.
It's a win, so why am I feeling pissed off like it's not?
Why do we let teams back in the game when we should be standing on their neck?
It's a W in the column I should be happy but it feels so much less.

Nixon got picked on as the new guy but he held up well. LaFleur cannot make adjustments on offense. They could not really run, and I will wait to see someone explain what TB did to take Doubs out of the offense.

Relieved to come out of that clusterf*ck with a win. Sheesh!

Only the Bucs’ addition of the dynamic and much sought after Cole Beasley kept this from being a 65-12 Packers blowout win.

It’s clear, Tom Brady is now more machine than man.

LaFleur looked like he was going to cry immediately before the Bucs’ 2-point attempt.

Watching Kenny Clark do a high plank above Tom Brady made me realize just how far away we are from the sweet sound of Tony Siragusa breaking Rich Gannon.

So many talented players on the Packers' roster, but ______________. (fill in the blank)

I'm wondering if the headline and breakthrough for the Packers is that the offense -- although frustrated in the second half by the Bucs defense -- did a good job of sticking with the running game and quick passes to keep our quarterback from getting mauled.
If so, kudos to that quarterback, Aaron Rodgers, for keeping his cool in all of the frustration by not forcing things downfield too much.
That bodes well for the future, especially as our defense seems much improved to be able to win games that are defensive struggles.
I'm glad to know what other fans think.

Packers will never convert a 3rd down as long as Winfree is in there.

Anytime the Packers win on the Road against a contender, and against Brady, it's a Great Day!!

Bring it home boys. At Lambeau next week for another Victory!

Great to hold on for the win on the road!
Defense carried the day, especially in the 2nd half.

Packers started beating themselves on offense after the Jones fumble. The other play which hurt was the penalty in Lazard for blocking in the back on the first play of the 2nd half. Doubs had a first down and the penalty killed any chance to pick the momentum back up early in the 3rd qtr.

Great defensive effort throughout the game and STs contributed to the win rather than causing a loss.

Bring on the Pats! GPG! Thanks, Since ‘61

"Dear Father in Heaven, I'm not a praying man, but if you're up there and you can hear me, please let Jaire be ok." LOL

However, George got clocked after praying that prayer.

I was surprised that the Bucs put 3 DL right of the center. And we couldn't take advantage of it.

It's a Win! Gary and others were getting held a lot. Jones fumble on the goal line hurt. A bad call by the Refs on our player getting pushed into the Punter, that would have been a FG drive at a minimum. The phantom holding call on Lazar in the 4th was BS. No time on clock for the last TD that TB scored? But, with all this, we survived !

For the love of all that is holy can they work on getting the plays in with the proper formations with ENOUGH TIME as to not blow a timeout. The first half we did this twice. The second half was as big a struggle. I thought LaFleur said they worked on that. Well it’s TWO years ago! This should be much MUCH tighter in close games. Please, I can’t stand the play clock running down with Rodgers looking at the sideline.

this oFfense seems to break down in big games after a turnover. example, marcedes lewis fumbles in niner playoff game, with pack up 10 zip. after that, the offense stopped working. example 2, bucs packers regular season game 2020. packers go up 10 zip again, then rodgers throws a pick six, and another pick, and the offense never scores another point. even the colts game a few years ago, i cant remember if there was a big turnover but the offense had 3 3 and outs in a row and just stalled out. rodgers is great, but he cracks under pressure. weve seen it over and over, he gets in these modes where he just cant see the field or do anything productive after the snap. i know the bucs have a great D, but it just seems like rodgers cracks. the difference between this game and and teams in years past was the D, and the ST. DST baby. there were so many punts and punt returns that in prior years some shit woulda went wrong. they covered punts, the downed balls inside the 1, they even had a great return with a BS penalty. D, was solid. did there job till that last drive. and even tho it was the goat, the D looked lost at times on that last drive. some of that couldve been nixon and growing pains. but big Devondre, he made that play at the end when it counted.

After the week one loss, I said we shouldn't place any credibility on any issues being fixed/solved, and a reason why I made nary a single comment all last week after the Bears game. This game against Tampa Bay is why.

There's a list of things we can be happy about that was seen, in the first half offensively, but the MLF factor came into play big time, again, as Boyles blew him away in the HC arena in the second half. Yes, you play with what you got, but damn, Tampa had nothing and still came close to tying and possibly winning in OT if it got there. Deny if you want, but the Packers were a beat horse Offensively by the Tampa D, and I feared the Brady effect to win in OT.

A bad OL and missing their 3 best receivers certainly made the Packer D look impressive, but as I said after week one, a 17 point D won't be enough for this MLF Offense, as his run game came to a halt, the OL caved too often, and MLF simply cannot in-game adjust. I think if Evans played, the Packers lose this game today.

There may be good news for the Packers next week against NE, Mac Jones got hurt and may miss the game, because NE isn't what many thought them to be in preseason. They dodged a bullet today. Hopefully home field helps dodge another bullet next week.

Doubs is our number 1 receiver. It’s time to accept that and target him accordingly and time to get Toure going, whether or not Watson is back soon. With Cameos from Cobb, Lazard, Doubs and Toure need to be on the field. More speed. More after the play potential, more options.

Game ball to Barry and the D. Honorable mention ruin to Bisaccia and the realization that we are going to win despite LaFleur, not because of him.

"Aaron Rodgers play on that final third down was completely mystifying. The pocket is totally fine, yet he starts to run up into it for no reason, then does the ONE thing he can't there and takes a sack. Just play in rhythm and hit Doubs on the slant. Taking a sack there is something you expect from a young QB, not a four time MVP."

THIS. 12 was ATROCIOUS in the 2nd half. This is your 50m QB. The 4x MVP. The leader of the offense. The one who can do no wrong, according to him and so many fanbois. This is why I don't think this time will be any different than any of the chokes in the past. That remains true after the game today.

Glad we won. The defense and special teams are going to have to be the lynchpin to victory this year and 12 will have to stick with the run game when it's not working for that to remain true.

The Defense allowed 2 FG until the final minute. Campbell and Douglas had the most tackles. Beat the Bucs in Tampa in the heat. Take the W and exhale.

There's nothing like having an athletic All-pro ILB, is there? I know Savage was back there in coverage, but it never even got to that point. Thank goodness we were able to re-sign Campbell--who also had 14 tackles. Nice games from Clark and Gary; Nixon gave up a couple, but also had a forced fumble and made a nice play on ST.

A couple of really impressive drives in the first half--we were really chewing through them, until:

A. Jones got caught in a nasty Vea-David sandwich--no wonder he fumbled.

MLF had no answers on offense following the Bowles' adjustments after halftime, but I think it would've been tough sledding no matter what. The Packers don't have any wildly out-of-the-box plays on their script which would have been helpful to break the defensive stalemate....If we are so dependent on one receiver (Watson) for speed, then we're going to need to add another one in the draft. The Packers like their big physical blocking receivers, but there is room on this roster (once maybe a couple are removed) for a shifty speed demon, regardless of blocking skills--I don't care what anyone says.

I'm probably one of the few people here who doesn't dislike Brady, but I was as happy as anyone to see the clock strike twelve on him--actually twice, but at least the refs were paying extra attention the second time.

I’m grateful for a solid defense, rising teams units, and did I mention Clark, Gary and Cambell! This offense is a mystery, and that’s up to Matt to figure out. Good game, good victory.

Campbell and Doubs are today's MVPs. Doubs can be great! (Devante 5 rec for 36 yards today)
Defense and Special Teams showed up. Proud of them.
Rodgers is the most talented QB every to play the game. Yet Brady is the GOAT for not being as talented as Rodgers but so much smarter.
Why do I feel that the Packer coaches sit around a table in the locker room during halftime and play rock paper scissors. No review and changes to the game plan.

The Packers steal one on the road and beat Tom Brady and the Florida heat, Mr Nagler enjoy your beer tonight!

A win is a win- it's the NFL.
Outstanding D and ST as Nags said.
Liked the juice the team had for most of the game despite the heat & humidity.
Why not just move the chains rather than always going deep when we just needed to get first downs?
Doubs looks promising.
Glad Lazard was able to play.
Nice seeing our Tackle lineup going forward, barring the unexpected.
Douglas and Campbell were major finds last year and continuing this year.
Nice seeing Tom being frustrated for a change.
Gong to sleep nice tonight!
GPG!

1. Nixon, Gary, Lazard, Cobb played well. Good to see Bahk back too.
Run game is predictable now. UP the middle three yards of dust.
Maybe Rodgers can learn to throw one yard passes. Why would you pass to a TE on the out for two yards when you need 10? To keep from gettng planted thats why.
All I know this aint a 13-4 team this year.
Play calling and play selection is horrible. Dont know to blame LeFleur or Rodgers changing up and calling runs and not passes

First three Offensive possessions gave a glimpse why this team can make it to hear Rihanna sing at halftime. The remainder is why they will listen to Gus Polinski on 8 track next February.
A win against the Goat is never bad and #12 again displayed why no one, and I mean no one is more accurate with the quick release. At least for three possessions. Special teams far improved minus a dumb penalty by a veteran who knows better. Thanks Gute addressing the elephant in the room the last two years.

Here's hoping that 69 recovers well this week from his game action and returns to being the stalwart LT the Packers are paying him to be.

I'm going to focus on positives. We won in Florida, Tampa no less, Dobbs had a very good game, Defense played great and special teams were a positive. After three games I'd call that a good start to the season. Jaire went down, but we had Nixon who stepped up. Roster is getting better.

I am trying to imagine the outcry if the Packers had a delay of penalty on a two-point conversion attempt to tie the game. Some would blame LaFleur and others AR, depending on their predisposition.

That changed this immeasurably. Brady is unlikely to run it in from 7 to 12 yards out. TB lost the threat of running the ball. It meant that GB could concentrate on defending a pass. Huge difference.

I'm pretty sure the Packers won a road game today against a good team but its hard to tell from the comments .

Deebo's hurt! Trade Amari Rogers to SF for a pick!

I understand these guys were playing in 100 degree weather but the tale of 2 halves was like polar opposites! What did Barry tell his defense at half time? Hey guys let them get in the game to make it more nerve racking?

Gut reactions:
-Aaron Jones is electric, but man he always fumbles at the most inopportune moments in big games.
-Aaron Rodgers was unstoppable for the first 2 quarters and they NEED to keep that short and quick passing game going especially when they can't run the ball.
-The offensive line only gave up one sack, at the end of the game and it was mostly a clean pocket for Rodgers.
-One turnover seems to derail the team. Completely mistifying.
-This defense was gnarly today. They were fast, they were aggressive and had Gary not been getting headlocked on every play he might have had 3-4 sacks.
-Nixon was a breath of fresh air as I think I can speak for the entire GB fanbase, we panicked when Alexander limped off of the field.
-Special teams, job well done!
-The referees made some absolutely horrendous calls against GB in the second half and they NEVER called holding against anyone blocking Gary, which physically made me sick after seeing some of that. Almost on every play.
-Doubs is a beast, and he ABSOLUTELY needs to be on the field.
-I have had enough of the Juwann Winfree experiment. The game is too big for him at this point and once again he offered nothing for the offense today.

For God’s sake, for years people have complained that we didn’t have enough toughness or speed on defense. We showed both today. GB went on the road, against a playoff caliber team, in extreme heat and won a slugfest. I, for one am pretty happy with that. Yes, our O disappeared after the 1st 3 drives, we we hung tough and took the punches and punched back…and won the game despite some adverse calls and conditions. Be thankful.

Great team win. Tampa's D is legit, so I'm not as worried about the offense sputtering here. It was eerily reminiscent of the play off loss to the Niners...except we actually had outstanding special teams play -- long fields for the Bucs, Rudy Ford being a beast, pinning them at the 1, Pat O'Donnell ballin' out. Kudos to Rich Bisaccia because the unit looks far, far better than it did 8-9 months ago.

Bring on the Patriots! (Who I might add, might be missing QB Mac Jones due to a high ankle sprain...if so, it's Brian Hoyer who's the next man up).

GO PACK GO!

It seems the great teams know how to implement improvements (or at least changes) at halftime. Even if the team was successful in the first half, it's obvious the opponent will have a plan to counteract those successes during their halftime assessment. Mike McCarthy and now Matt LaFleur don't seem to have the ability to mix things up at halftime to keep the opponent on their toes. I hope that Matt learns to develop a better halftime plan moving forward. That being said, I'm certainly glad that GB outlasted the Bucs for this very important NFC win! Go Pack!
