Jacobs is perhaps the best go-line back I’ve ever witnessed—he refuses to be stopped.
The pure hard-nosed grit of Jacobs and Kraft should be a contagious ingredient for all the Packer players and staff.
Very impressive performance by Haversik.
Disappointed with the brainless interception and too early butt slide by Love- that’s a HS mistake.
3-1-1—we’ll take it.
Hope VanNess is Okay.
Go Packers!!!

The Good: The new kicker for making all his kicks. I thought sure he would blow it at the end.
The Good (1A) Kraft just for consistently being Tucker Kraft.
The Bad: The DB's for standing around and watching when the pile was still moving.
The Ugly: CBS. The Play by Play guy was hard to listen to.

Agree with above but here's an alternative:
Good: Got to give a shout-out to new kicker. With our history prior to McManus, I certainly was nervous when he came to bat.
Bad: Pressure on JL most of the game. Got to get healthy on the O line and all around.
Ugly: Stretching this - really annoying offsides call on Parsons. At least he didn't line up offsides!
Runners up:
Good - JL connection with Golden
Ugly - how the Bengals were able to push the pile to pick up a bunch of extra yards.

Good- Jacobs
Bad- Injuries
ugly- Too many complaints after a win.
Van Ness left after he showed closing speed
The second injury that hurt was Bullard.
The packers must play a cover 2 with a robber.
Bullard is the key to stopping the Quick pass.
His ability to tackle and play up is why
the defense needs him.

Good - Lucas Havrisik I didn't know who you were a week ago, but thanks for being perfect when called upon under short notice. Hope you find a way onto some team based on your performance today.
Bad - Our Interior DL. Man we need Wyatt back. I guess we may end up paying big to extend him.
Ugly - That our O and D are never in sync. Our D was really good in the first half, but our O was meh. The second half our D goes to sleep and then the O picks things up. If they both play to their potential we can be dominant, but frustratingly it seems we are incapable.

The Good-its a win No significant injuries-hoping Vanesss is ok, . Great job by Kraft, Jacobs, Golden and Haversik. The bad-the pass rusher lack there of. How the secondary was exposed when the pass rush wasn't there; The Ugly-Rashon Garys halloween costume-the invisible man. another hideous interception by JL. The inability to put games away against lesser opponents. Again, a win, and we'll take it! Go Pack Go!!

THE GOOD: Jacobs, Golden and Hacky-sack
THE BAD: the interception, and second-half adjustments (what happened to the D?)
THE UGLY:
1. Terrible terrible terrible clock management at the end of the game!!!! OMG. When it was time to run out the clock, MLF used up only about 20 seconds for 3 plays - with a timeout, the 2-minue warning, and an incomplete pass ...
2. Announcers: The play by play was not bad, but I don't recall ever seeing a line-up? references to GB OL injuries, substitutions, ...
Snap the ball

The good Jacob’s and Kraft
I think they basically didn’t want to leave it in MLF hands calling plays
When they got the ball they are looking for end zone …
Kraft td in front of me and let me tell you. Not many dudes want a piece of that running at them full speed.
The bad I don’t know if we beat them in Cinncy
The bad. Wicks and Heath wide open get them the ball
The ugly. Musgrave wide open need to make that throw.

The good: Love's running moving the sticks, which had me confounded when he's sliding short of the sticks eschewing a new set of downs to seal the game.
The bad: Overall mental acuity by coaches not teaching and/or expecting situational thinking. Punt receiving thumb rules, not avoiding out-of-bounds clock stoppage, 3rd down celebrations or taunts by defenders...P.S. Parson's pre-snap positioning. See ugly reference.
The ugly: MLF or the OC throwing backward screen passes. This is akin to going to the edge of the Cliffs of Moher to get a better view. Certainly bad can come out of that...try a deeper drop and throwing the ball forward. (See shovel pass.)
Major Snafu

Going to get interesting folks. We will begin mto see who the packers really are in the next few weeks.
All I know is the bears are way better, vikes still have dominant pass rush and great receivers and the Lions are not push overs like week one.
Love will have to make plays and somehow Hafwit will have to come up with a defense that aint zone dont bend dont break or it will get ugly IMO. All he did was use Barrys play book and may a few changes but its the same as Berrys.
