More Banjo - Packers vs. Bears

[Joemailman]

Rodgers 195 yards, 2 TD's passing, 1 rushing 128.0 passer rating

Aaron Jones 110 total yards, 1 TD

Adams - 4 catches, 89 yards

Kenny Clark 2 sacks

Bojorquez- 56.0 average

Seldom easy in Chicago, but great win.

[RashanGary]

We really need to get healthy. Our defense would get picked apart by Brady or Stafford. And others as well. Alexander and big Z are missed greatly

Hey APB, what do you think of Kenny Clark now?

A very decent game by the Packers D even with the bunch of injuries, and a dominant performance by the Packers O against a supposedly tough Bears D.

[Joemailman]

When Packers get Bakhtiari back, they should put Jenkins at LG and move Runyan to RG. Looked like Newman caused 2 sacks because he blew his blocking assignment.

[smuggler]

Runyan is more savvy but I like Newman's potential. I tend to agree with you for '21.

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah, those mental mistakes are curable.

[Joemailman]

Runyan is more savvy but I like Newman's potential. I tend to agree with you for '21.

Right. I just mean for now. Runyan is the better player now.

2 sacks against a mobile QB. Looks like Cletidus earned his paycheck this week. :)

[Joemailman]

Ol' Cleedeeus deserves to put his feet up after that performance.

Matt LaFleur on #Packers dodging an injury scare with Kenny Clark: “When he was down, I really felt like I was going to throw up.”



MK Burgess

“I don’t think it’s gonna be a season ended. Certainly, that was a bad play call by me, by us not blocking the nickel” LaFleur on Josh Myers injury #Packers.

[George Cumby]

The Lazard play call was beautiful.

Signing AJones was really smart, that blitz pick-up was awesome. The big run just after, also awesome.

Doing this with the OLine and D limping. Impressive depth/coaching.

[Joemailman]

For 1st time this year, Packers have outscored opponents for the year. Took 5 wins to overtake 35 point loss.

[RashanGary]

Dean Lowry showed up again a couple times. He’s earning his so/so paycheck this year.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm just watching 2nd half now. Not loving the flip that Adams did in endzone on the called-back TD. Very easy to get hurt doing that. The season is ruined by a badly sprained ankle on that guy..

I see not a single angry old man complaining in the forum and I'm disappointed in all of you.

[Fosco33]

“I still own you, I still own you” - hahaha

That was sooooo great!!! We're all gonna miss him when he's gone.

[run pMc]

100% agree. They are missing a lot of good starters now. The OL coaching has been something else this year and last. Also, I like that they are using more 3 DL fronts to stop/minimize damage in the run game. Would be great if Z, Jaire, etc. healthy, but it's a game of attrition they're managing to stay in front of so far.

That was a physical game -- was Roquan headhunting? Here's hoping GB gets healthy soon. It's a long way to the bye.

I'm still not sure why they didn't call offsides on the Fields INT.

[Joemailman]

I'm not sure if it was offsides. https://twitter.com/i/status/1449793517140774912

Looking at it frame by frame, as the ball is snapped, Clark's helmet does not appear to be offsides. Maybe his hand is. Tough call for the official.

[Freak Out]

Everyone get to wine about the officiating.

[smuggler]

Clark was 100% offsides. Still less egregious than the EQSB call though, in terms of impact on score.

[Upnorth]

So rodgers played dam good. 120+ passer rating and a game clinching run.

Dude should have taken the checkdown on a couple plays. He went deep ball on a couple 2nd downs that made us punt.

We beat the bears, I'm thankful, but he can't do that against the rams or bucs.

[Joemailman]

Kyle Malzhan

When #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers was asked postgame about his “I still own you!” comments to the #Bears crowd, he said: “Sometimes you black out on the field... I looked up in the stands and all I saw was a woman giving me the double bird"

Well - there were many of them.

On d, Clark and Gary looking amazing, p Smith is he ok. Campbell had another great outing also, looking like he isn't a fluke.

It was the bears but it gives me confidence in our d. Wft so t change that. And then we have jaire back in time for the cards.

We have no idea if Jaire will be back yet. He may still need surgery and be out for the year.

[Guiness]

Bojorquez- 56.0 average



that is so awesome

[Joemailman]

Ryan Wood

Matt LaFleur can't "100 percent" rule out surgery for CB Jaire Alexander's shoulder, but "we feel like it's progressing nicely." He doesn't know exactly the window #Packers have to determine if Alexander will need surgery, but something team will need to decide at some point.

[call_me_ishmael]

So is Gary actually getting pressure consistently and disrupting things? He was so bad early in the season.

[RashanGary]

So is Gary actually getting pressure consistently and disrupting things? He was so bad early in the season.

Gary looks like an average player with some flashes. Definitely not pro bowl caliber.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Week in and week out, Gary has been one of our best players. Top rated defensive player on the Packers this week according to PFF.

https://packerswire.usatoday.com/lists/packers-pff-grades-best-worst-players-from-week-6-vs-bears/


Gary delivered five pressures, including another quarterback hit, and three total stops. He has 23 pressures in six games.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Here were the top 6 on Defense Going Into the Bears Game (before Gary's 87.4 PFF grade). The Bears game would have elevated his grade to 76.7... putting him 3rd (just behind Clark).

1. LB De’Vondre Campbell, 84.8: He leads the team in stops with 16, and he’s probably been the most impactful linebacker in coverage (two interceptions) in the NFL this season.

2. DL Kenny Clark, 78.0: His 16 pressures and 14 stops highlight how consistently disruptive he’s been as a rusher and against the run. He’s one of only three defensive linemen in the NFL with at least 14 stops and 14 pressures.

3. CB Jaire Alexander, 75.1: He gave up two touchdown passes in four games, but he still has terrific all-around grades in coverage, against the run and as a tackler.

4. OLB Rashan Gary, 74.6: His 18 total pressures lead the team, and his seven quarterback hits rank third among all edge rushers. He has six run stops over the last two games.

5. OLB Preston Smith, 73.9: He has 11 pressures in five games, but he’s also produced the No. 1 run defense grade among NFL edge defenders with at least 20 run defense snaps.

6. S Adrian Amos, 66.0: He’s been credited with giving up a team-high three touchdown passes, but he’s been consistently solid against the run and as a tackler.

Our defense isn’t that good though. We miss Z. There’s a big drop off from Z to Gary. Average starter is what I see from Gary.

I watch Gary a lot and to my layman's eye, I see a really effective player.

He's active, energetic, relentless and seems to have broadened his repertoire of skills. I've seen him rush with power and speed and sometimes both. Watching when teams run away from him, he's really nifty getting through the ground clutter to get to the ball-carrier.

I rarely see teams run at him, it makes me wonder if they are actively running away from him? IDK.

I don't see him taking plays off, at all.

[run pMc]

Agree- he doesn't take plays off.
Gary isn't what I would can a flashy player or a playmaker, but I'd say he's a solid player. He gets a lot of pressures (if not sacks) on the QB and is decent in the run game. If Preston can't play they are very thin at OLB.

[CaptainKickass]

I just thought of this and it would be perfect theme music for "More Banjo":

A bluegrass style band covering the "Slippery When Wet" album in it's entirety. What do you call such a thing?

Banjovi

[Upnorth]

I really don't understand why so many dont like gary, or at least downplay his contribution. He creates more pressure than any other packers player and is ok vrs run. I cant think of a single team that would not want him.
Even with p smith out for 3 quarters he consistently disrupted fields through out the game.

[SudsMcBucky]

Before the "Gary draft" even happened, I specifically singled him out on this board as the one player that was among the many that at one point or other someone mocked to us that I did NOT want drafted. However, I will admit he's actually been pretty decent and I still think getting better.

[George Cumby]

“I still own you, I still own you” - hahaha

Holy cow. I only just noticed the Packers were in home jerseys.

LOL.

To be honest this was how I felt, but I misconstrued Gary's performances in college as a low-effort issure. That's not the problem.

Doesn't it make you wonder how many other players are used in a way that makes them look unplayable at the next level.

[bobblehead]

Our defense isn’t that good though. We miss Z. There’s a big drop off from Z to Gary. Average starter is what I see from Gary.

Gary is doing the one thing I was really worried he couldn't do. Pressure while still honoring the run. Z is NOT very good against the run, so if the only metric you use is ability to pressure the QB, then Z is much better. I have harped for a decade on here that you must be able to do both on offense, and by extension to beat the good teams you have to be able to stop both on defense...and not by subbing guys in and out constantly.

Gary is playing very good ball right now. Probably not a pro bowler, but very good. It was something I pointed out about Campbells historical PFF grade...he is graded on all 3 downs. I don't care if another guy has a higher grade if he has to come off the field on 3rd and 4 because he can't cover and the guy you put in has a higher grade, but he can't play on 2nd and 4.

[bobblehead]

Doesn't it make you wonder how many other players are used in a way that makes them look unplayable at the next level.

Or guys Fat Mike misused that made them look bad at this level...Micah Hyde comes to mind.

[Upnorth]

One thing I noticed that brings a smile to my face about the bears, we held them to 14.
We have held no one to 14 this season and we are more beat up than at any point. #1 cb, #1 edge, best olb gone for over 3/4ers, yet we held them to 14.
Bears suck. Im happy
