I won't listen to gut reactions. Call me old school.

Penalties still hurting the Offense, but MLF seems to have a plan to still succeed.
McKinney with another early game INT for the Defense.
Run Pack Run.
Do you believe in 'Malik'
I cannot excuse goal line fumbles, the number one place to ensure ball security, it keeps the game 'losable'.
Colts making adjustments, will MLF?
WTF??? 1:30 in the half with 3 Time-outs, and we take the foot off the gas. Shades of McCarthy.
Nice Defensive stand to start the half.
Offense with a 3rd quarter
sputtering, Colts start neighing into 4th.
Defense yanks the bit of the Colts.
Dobbs with the INT of likely Malik INT.
Lucky they have Narveson.
A Tale of Two Halves, even if it doesn't seem to be.
Wilson with a 'possible' game saver pick.
Geez, just realized how fast this game went.
UH-OH time got INT'ed.

Happy for a victory but the defense is very suspect. To many misses and poor tackling on defense... If VanNess or McDuffy are on defense good luck they give up way to much on pass or run. Still need more penetration from the defensive line. Colts QB had all day to pass or run. Were lucky we weren't playing any other team today with a veteran QB. The good news is its very early in the season they have plenty of time to make adjustments. Congrats Packers GPG.

Bring back the written gut reactions. Can’t watch the video!

Well he is a lib so he will do the laziest thing. Would rather video it instead the old school way.

It's a nice win. Malik was outstanding. Good game plan in the first half, then a bit too conservative at times in the 2nd for my taste. But, 3 interceptions, 2 big dropped passes by the Colts is what stopped them, not our defense. Our front 4 were again unable to put pressure on the QB, and there were a lot of open receivers and again poor run defense. But, it's a win.

Malikdid what he was supposed to, ie, manage the game. The defense had some nice, if easy, turnovers. Colts helped by dropping passes. Penalties were problematic again. The game was closer than it needed to be, but a win is a win.

My first post for the season, glad it is after a win.
Loved how they stuck with the run in the first half but then the Colts adjusted (imagine that MLF!). What are we going to do next week?
Willis didn't show much. Maybe with another week of practice?

Why do the Packers always seem to let the other team back in the game? Too early to tell anything but with the significant Colt injuries, there should have been some better chances downfield. Unless they didn't find Willis to be that good after all. His pass to Dobbs was really just a great catch by Dobbs. Packers have too many offensive weapons not to be able to find some way to use them better.

Oh yeah - PLEASE teach Willis to SLIDE and don't run him up the middle to get pounded on.

Oh yeah #2 (making up for not posting in off season ) - why did we give Barry so much leeway and kept him around but jettisoned Jones after he carried the team? Notwithstanding that Jacobs is looking good.

GPG!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I beg of you… as we bask in the very temporary joy of this one single victory, please, please, PLEASE, for the love of God, do NOT be distracted from what really matters – namely, that Matt LuciFleur still is, and always will be, a horrible coach who needs to be fired! Under no circumstances should any true Packer fan be satisfied with such shoddy leadership! Cut bait now before all is lost!

Signed,
Me and my “fan goggles”

LOL!

- Backup QB didn't lose it for them and made a play or two
- Running worked early on and MLF didn't create a stupid game plan for the new backup qb
- Defense has some bright spots
- Kraft is TE #1
- I didn't think Jacobs was a fumbler so quite surprised by his fumble
- Couple of drops by Colts helped defense a lot
- Colts hung in there and packers are fortunate
- Tackling abysmal due to lack of preseason padded practices and not playing in preseason games. Hopefully it gets better.
- Same deal with conditioning
- Early penalties
- Reed looks like the steal of last year's draft
- Hopefully, Love goes on to a long career and this game is a trivia question, "Which QBs started a home opener for the packers from 1992 to ...?"

The penalties, fumbles and missed opportunities will get them nowhere this season especially with a 100 yard a game QB. Happy for the win but…

Well, if nlothing else, it's a) a win, b} nice game planning by coach LaFluer, c) a great team effort. The good stuff? Three picks, good rushing day, and almost flawless job by Malik running the offense. The not so great Big chunk plays given up, the fumble into the end zone which really would have blown this open early, and finally, and ive said this so much during the last two years that I should put it to music, The kicking game. Hitting that last fg would have taken a ton of pressure off the defense at the end. A win is a win though GOPACKGO! On to Tennessee!

So, Jacob's ain't bad, and the defense is OK along with our backup QB! What's this week's humdrumers going to bitch about? Just walked out of Lambeau, and the crowd was awesome! Only bad thing is the 4 hour drive back to the yoop! GPG

A win is a win is a win right? Hey, with a QB who's been here like 20 days I thought MLF designed a hell of a gameplan, especially in the first half. The Packers had the ball for OVER 40 minutes. When you run for over 260 yards, have DOUBLE the time of possession, and give up just 10 points, you'll win some games.

OMG...This kicker is going to give me a damn heart attack! We once again have a kicker who has missed a kick in each game. At least Carlson started out hot. That's 2 times now, in the FORTH quarter, this kid has missed an important kick. He makes that kick and I'm looking at him a whole lot different this afternoon.

The defense gave up some big plays BUT they gave up just 10 points and created 3 more TO's. That's 6 TO's in 2 games.

I'll take it every time!!

Aaron, the bullet point Gut Reactions are missed. I understand video gets lots of views on YouTube (almost 900 now as I whine ), but the dinosaurs here miss it. Please? Couldya? Would it kill ya?

That said, I fear the Packers have hand-delivered a blue print on how to beat the Colts. Show up. I also have to wonder if Shane Steichen is questioning his life choices.

Relaxing first half. Quay seems lost. I'm a fan of Malik. Has anyone seem Preston Smith? Count the W and move ahead.

I have always been a “play to win rather than play not to lose “ guy but today playing not to lose worked for LaFleur. So, kudos to him. However, I hope it doesn’t become a habit.

A win with a backup QB? I'll take it.

I was amazed at how Tucker Kraft has turned into the Michigan State version of Tony Mandarich.

If we can tread water until Love returns we'll be fine.

Go Pack Go!

Mcduffie is a liability they ran Taylor right at him on his big runs,Cooper was the best linebacker in the draft why is he not starting , you don't miss 26 yard kicks , we need a kicker .

Chalk me down for a no tuck, I mean a no video Gut Reactions. Life is too filled with videos. I liked reading them better too.

I can’t tolerate any videos—bullet points are preferred.
A win—great. Nervous for our kicker and run defense. We could have sealed this earlier with a FG and/or dropped int by Quay.
If we pull off a win in Tennessee, we’re in business.
Go Packers!!!

You’d think people making a yoochoob video would jot down the points they wanted to hit beforehand. (One could easily post the jottings as a gut reactions post.) Apparently that’s not what’s done; one simply turns the camera on and starts to blather. When there’s no effort put into the production, it’s not worth the effort to watch.

Nags- If the NFL plays games at the North and South Poles, at least you will be use to cold games! GPG!

Did Watson play today

When Christian Watson and Luke Musgrave get back, we are going to be a really potent offense, regardless of who’s throwing the ball… Wait what?

Surprised by the negativity on here today. The bottom line is the pack won a game with Malik Willis. The colts knew we were going to run, and we still ran for over 200 yards in the first half. Even with all the sloppy play, which will get cleaned up, the Packers won a game today pounding the rock with Malik Willis at QB.

GB took off some points off the board this week but not as many as last week, missed FG, and fumble in the endzone. If those mistakes don't happen GB is up 26-3 with 6 minutes left in the game. If they are in between the 30 to the 40 on the opp side of the field, go for it on 4th and 4 or less every time.

Quay looks horrible, I think Edge needs to be the MLB starter over Quay. Evan is a great deep safety it appears. DB's did a much better job. They improved slightly in penalties and tackling but there's still room for improvement.

Grades:
Def:
1.) Devonte 87
2.) Mckinney 85
3.) Eric Wilson 81
4.) Evan Williams 77
5.) LVN 70

OFF:
1.) Malik 89
2.) Jacobs 83 (fumble cost him big time)
3.) Doubs 81
4.) Tom 80
5.) Jenkins 78

Bottom scores

1.) Quay 44
2.) Mcdouffie 49
3.) Myers 55
4.) Gary 56
5.) Bo Melton 56

SPT's player of the game=the punter
SPT's loser=kicker

Offensive coaching: B+ (penalties still high, should've opened up the 3rd with a bit more passing as they sold out completely on the run after the half.
Defensive coaching: B- (gashed in run game late, too much prevent late and many bad memories pop up from prevent defense)
SPT's: B+
Overall coaching grade B

So, they still have room for improvement (tackling, long field goals 45+ yds, penalties, second half adjustments to their adjustments needs to be faster, one secondary missed assignment, LB's losing containment on 2 big runs.

It appears the weakest link on offense is Myers blocking and Walker's penalties. The weakest link on defense is the LB's. Hopefully Jenkins moves to C, Ryan to LG and Morgan to RG, Cooper to MLB, and Hooper and Wilson at OLB and Quay in on passing downs only.

I am glad Jeff improved the defense and got more pressure (even though the sacks are less). But the run D struggled late in the second half and the prevent defense gave me nightmares. I think the secondary did a better job today but did catch some breaks with 3 easy open drops by the Colts and one blown late assignment on a 20 yd pass vs Valentine. Valentine was focusing on helping deep and not covering his man for some reason. I hope Jeff can hold the Titans to 0 offensive points. The titans run game is not as good as the Colts or the Eagles and QB is not as good as Hurts and maybe on par with Richardson but doesn't have the arm or athleticism. They do have a better run defense than the Colts and about on par with the Eagles. Their passing defense is above average.

If Love is out for another game or two, and the Packers can continue to prove they can feature a potent rushing offense with any of the three RBs in their stable (plus a number of their WRs can effectively run the ball out of their backfield as well), imagine what it might look like if Love comes back and rounds into form again.

Lots of negative shots at MLF, but the Packers offense looked good with Malik Willis at the helm- a guy who doesn't know the playbook and who can only manage to do two things when the call is a pass play: 1) Check to see if it's one high or two high safeties, 2) stare at the primary read until he gets open. Yes, that's a knock on Malik Willis (and it's accurate.) Also, that's a testament to MLF's gameplan to put the Packers offense in a position to succeed with Willis under center. Pretty much all RPO looks, and he selected plays that got the primary open so Willis didn't have to go through a progression.

I'll take the W.

Vikings beat the 9ers? wtf.

Want a real gut reaction???

How about ask Myers...He threw up on the ball, which according to Willis caused him to not throw the ball on a play. Myers said he threw up during Eagles game as well. Conditioning? Nervousness? Hungover? Weak a$$ stomach?

I've heard of players puking before, but damn, caused an alteration of a play...???

Notes on Defense
- People on the lack of pass rush gotta chill. Do you not realize the last two weeks were about containing dangerous running QBs? The D has to stay in their lanes and let the QB try to beat them in the air. They did that quite well until late in both games. The pass rush will be fine, when we don’t have to contain. It’s part of the gameplan. I’d rather not get Kapernicked ever again.
- Rushing. I know people are upset with missed tackles. It’s league wide. AND this D is still new. AND we just played arguably the two best running backs in the league not named Jacobs. Let the Defense grow a bit.
- Holding any team at all to under 20 is really hard. We held them to 10. This isn’t the league of old. 90% of the time you hold the other team to 10…..that’s a win. D did their job. Hats off to Hafley.
- Trivia: How many times did Joe Barry’s D hold a team to 10 or less in 2023? 3 times in 19 games. How many in 2022? 1 time in 17 games. Hafley after 2 games?

Bring back bullet points…please??

I'm not watching a 20 minute video for the gut reactions
