I have no idea what Wilde and other reporters were on about tying Bart Starr's record with 6 straight games with no incompletions. I THOUGHT it was six straight with no INTs and a TD toss. But Starr didn't do that. Wilde's Tweet said this was 1964. See if you can find it. Regular season only Bart had 11 straight with no INTs. 14 if you count the start of 1965.

- QB Aaron Rodgers posted his sixth consecutive zero-interception game, tying Bart Starr’s franchise record (min. 15 attempts a game) set in 1964.

Looks like Starr really had nineconsecutive pick-free games (minimum 15 attempts) that year. They're treating #10 (five attempts, no picks) as if it ended the streak. But it shouldn't. It should not be counted at all, just as if he hadn't played. This isn't a consecutive games played streak, it's a games-without-picks streak. NB: The 15 minimum seems a little arbitrary. Game #13 is a good illustration of why.

I agree. Better would be no INTs and a TD toss. Rodgers shines there as well. But you have to put something in the historic/record section of the Team Notes distributed to the reporters.

Soft n' Small.

NASCAR package just for Cam. And if they named it that because they were facing a team based in North Carolina, I am very impressed.

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-nascar-package-wreaks-havoc-for-cam-newton-b99373987z1-279737522.html

Would have been Datone Jones in there, but with his injury, it was Matthews, Peppers, Perry and Neal with Pep and Neal inside. Kinda reminiscent of the Giants 4 aces personnel from 2007 and then hot coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. Only the idea is to be able to chase QBs as well as sack them.

- Carolina tried to play seven man box and 2 deep safety like Lions did. "Detroit played a similar defense and we didn't run it very well," said Rodgers. "Today was a different story."

It worked well, and was a calculated risk that paid off. If Carolina could've gotten their ground game going with Stewart, that package might not have looked so good. The Panthers depleted OL helped with that.

Clay Matthews said his taunting penalty was for body posture. Appeared like he pushed off Newton to return to his feet.

He also said that there was something said. I was stunned it was called because it looked very routine.

This is huge. I wasn't sure Hayward or Cobb would ever get back to their pre-injury form. They are both very close, if not already there. I believe that numerous metrics had Hayward as one of the best CB's in the league his rookie year.

[Fritz]

I read briefly that Perry played well. I could not see the game - damn Lions - so I couldn't watch to see how he did.

What's the word from the Rats who saw the game? Did Perry play well? I know he had a sack, but did he get more snaps than last week, and did he hold the point and cover anybody?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Double the snaps from last week, per ESPN.

He was Captain Pass Rush yesterday. Filled in for Neal/Peppers who were filling in for Datone Jones at DT in pass rush.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Two games for Peppers against his former teams = 38-17 victories in both.

Perry played 25 of 69 defensive snaps. He had one TFL and one QH. Don't know if he dropped into pass coverage. I doubt it. He was in Carolina backfield all afternoon. He played a great game. I believe his sack came on a classic bull rush. The guy is strong this year.

The sack was more of a speed rush. Got around the corner and Cam was flushed back into him.

Yeah. I saw that too. Had a pretty nice bend on that one to get home. Not quite Von Miller, but it looked like a new trick from Perry.

[Zool]

Man, I only had 1 toe left on the Perry bandwagon during the pre-season. He was playing against 2s and 3s and not shining like you would hope from a guy with his size and speed. Harv tried to tell us from the drivers seat to just be patient. Stupid sexy Harvey and your being right about Perry.

Now we need to give Nick a (no pun intended) nickname.

[smuggler]

Perry is turning into a nice little rotational piece. That's what our defense needs.... roatational cogs to keep everyone fresh and healthy - not supermen. Although, yes, JJ Watt would be nice.

I suspect this is the first time he's been healthy. From all accounts he's as strong as an ox but because of nagging injuries we haven't seen him play like this. Let's knock on wood that he won't be hurt again this year.
