Studs And Duds - Packers vs. Bears II

[ND72]

Studs

Brett Hundley with a strong 2nd half, especially down the stretch. Maybe he's turned a corner.

Jamall Williams - Tough running, especially in the 2nd half. Gave the Packers some balance.

Davante Adams - 5 catches for 90 yards. 1 TD and the catch that sealed the game.

Nick Perry - 6 tackles and 3 sacks.

Mike Daniels - 5 TKL, 1 sack, 2 TFL

Trevor Davis - Nearly a 100 return yards.

Duds

Vogel - Don't drop the snap!

House - Big plays against him today.

Agree with all of these....hard for me to say Davis though because of his first punt return out of the end zone, but did improve after that.

Hundley played well, confident. Made some mistakes, but even Rodgers wasn't perfect.

Adams did well outside that one bad drop.

Williams ran very well, but I thought they all did. Jones started well, Monty came in and did well, and Williams finished it.

Daniels & Clark played well.

Perry did well.

Seems like Jones is everywhere. Considering we didn't have much to complain about except they obviously were throwing at House in the DBackfield.


Duds-
Going to put McCarthy back here.
#1, I liked the change of having Cobb run some wildcat, just didn't think it was ran well enough.
#2, Flats were open all day, didn't see any adjustment to it until the 4th.
#3, clock management.

Its almost like who is blocking matters more than who is carrying the rock.

[Guiness]

Have to add Jordi to the studs list. 3 catches for 20 yards doesn't look good on the stat sheet, but I saw at least a couple of blocks and one 'no contact' pick that got the Pack a lot of yards. Montgomery's TD doesn't happen without his block.

I'm guessing a lot of this is on Hundley. Especially the timeout with five seconds left in the quarter (with 7 on the game clock). No need for a time out after trying to draw them offsides. I'm surprised the announcers didn't catch that.

Hundley doesn’t have a noodle arm. It’s between the strength of Flynn and Rodgers. But it’s clearly not a truly live arm. It’s just Ok, sort of like Eli Manning’s always was.

Hundley looks better, but he has his limitations and doesn’t have the special anticipation that would make the limitations disappear.

But he has potential to be a .500 QB and that could be enough to keep us in it till Aaron comes back.

With the Packer defense, ST and mounting injuries I think they would need better than OK from the QB position in order to tread water until late December.

One thing they have going for them is the low offensive rank (Yardage) of their upcoming opponents:

Baltimore (30)
Pittsburgh (11)
Tampa Bay (15)
Cleveland (25)
Carolina (26)
Minnesota (9)
Detroit (17)

They might be able to win enough ugly games to hang in there.

Yeah, that and the fact that there are currently a lot of NFC teams hovering around 500, which might mean that 9-7 isn't out of the running for last wild card.

But the injuries keep coming like a snowstorm in Buffalo, hard to see how they are going to survive those.

Detroit didn't even punt. They knew every blitz. Any team with a competent QB and OC, will not be stopped and unless Hundley learns to deal with pressure
The Packers squeaked by the Bears, due in large part by the worst challenge in the NFL this year. The Cleveland game is winnable, but I'm not sure if another one is.
