Official Week 2 Packers vs. Vikings Game Day Thread

[mmmdk]

It's only 1 game and the season is young. But it's been a stong building trend that Packers has become stale on offense, ever since Stubby's Packers caught lightning in a bottle and won a SB. Packers defense hasn't dominated much since 2010-11 either. So it's more than 1 game afterall.

14.

And 16/17 if I remember correctly.

And 16/17 if I remember correctly.

Yup, I wrote about this last week in the GB/MN discussion thread:

On the other hand, Rodgers threw well short of his receiver a couple times again, just as we saw often in 2015; he completed less than 60% of his passes, gained a mediocre 199 yards passing and averaged less than 6 yards per attempt. He extended his string of games with a QB rating less than 100 to 13 consecutive games, and 15 of his last 16 games. Prior to the current string, he had never gone more than 4 games without achieving a QBR greater than 100, and that happened only once, I think. For perspective, his career QBR is 104.1. He has been less than his career average for 13 consecutive games.

Cobb and Nelson had six receptions each, but gained just 57 and 32 yards, respectively.

I think this is an indication that the Packers passing games is not fixed yet.

What a terrible game. One of the worst Rodgers performances I've seen in a while (yes, including some from the 2015 games).

He needs to pick it up, it's that simple. I'm rattled.

I can't remember all of them to compare, but it sure feels like that. Rodgers was missing some easy throws.
