Didn't see much of the game, so can't say much.
But that Watson kid just might be a good player.

Studs
Packers - winningest team in NFL history.
Duds
Bears - they still suck.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything

Cumby, next time you take a shower, watch the highlight of Dillion’s TD run. If that play doesn’t get you aroused, nothing else will.
I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.

Not enough lesbians to get me aroused.
I appreciate the thought.
Studs:
Dillon - carried the offense
Watson - better every game, trading up was a good idea
Lowry - actually made plays today
Zach Tom - a bright future
Pass blocking - kept AR clean against a weak rush
Lazard - can we keep him for next year as a 3 or 4?
Lewis - aging like fine wine
Duds:
TE’s - little to offer from this whole group other than small contributions
Alexander - his interception didn’t make up for his regular lack of focus
AR - MVP, no. Average, aging QB, yes.
Bears - they still suck

Fixed, typo.
I’ll add Crosby as a stud. On a cold, somewhat windy day, he was solid while Santos was shaky.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
Rodgers basically was his old self today all things considered, definitely a stud. Some dumbasses seem to undervalue not throwing interceptions. The O Line did a better job pass blocking that they have in a long time, although maybe that was partly because of Bear suckage. They also were decent part of the time anyway on running plays. Tom looked better than recent Bakhtiari, maybe even better than Bakhtiari when people thought he was so good. Dillon was damn good. I still get the impression every time he has a good gain, though, that given the same blocking, Jones would get more yardage. Watson of course - a stud, Lazard decent, maybe not studly. Can a WR be a stud without catching a pass - just throwing good blocks on two TD runs? I say no. Watson woulda outrun everybody even without Watkins' block, maybe Dillon too.
I'm having a hard time thinking of any studs on D. Alexander was more dud than stud. Ditto that for Douglas, Campbell, and Walker. Clark was way better than past weeks, but not enough to call him a stud. Nixon predictably IMO came down to earth as a returner, and the missed tackle on the Fields run outweighed the desperation pick at the end.
I can't think of any out and out duds either, O or D.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Rodgers was 18-31 with 182 yards and a QB rating of 85.7.
This was against a team with 3 of 4 starters out in the secondary and a pass rush so anemic they couldn’t produce even one sack. That is the definition of average in the NFL.
I was asked tonight how the Packers coulda beat the Cowboys with that fierce pass rush the they have. The answer, obviously, was Rodgers' mobility. Today too, even though the Packers O Line was better than usual (or else the Bears' pass rush really was anemic), there still was a significant rush a lot of times - but Rodgers just calmly handled it, didn't throw picks like Fields, and completed passes, often against good pass coverage. The other thing about those "average" numbers - you ungrateful dumbass, is that when your running game is working, you aren't gonna get as many yards or TDs.

hahahaha I said it might have something to do with the Bears still sucking. That inexperienced secondary they had, though, did a pretty good job - better at times than our star-laden secondary - coaching might have something to do with that difference.
Rodgers not throwing better than 18-31 had a lot to do with not throwing it into traffic - as is normal for him, not throwing picks. Did he look inaccurate or weak-armed? Not that I saw. It looks like dumbass haters are still gonna hate, but that's what wins games, and that's a major factor in his greatness having the good sense not to give it away. Contrast that with Fields or a helluva lot of other QBs. I'm tempted to say Fields looked damn good - much like Hurts or Lamar Jackson, but then he threw a couple of picks and his team lost the game despite having as good or better O Line blocking and run game as the Packers. Our O Line, as I said, was way better than usual tonight, but Rodgers still got rushed a lot, and in the early part of the game, they weren't opening holes on runs either. Some of the line's goodness had to do with Rodgers' mobility, and a lot of the line's goodness was just in comparison to the way they usually play.
Not blaming Rodgers when the team lost? He stunk it up a couple of times this season, but yeah, most of the time it wasn't Rodgers that was the main reason in the losses. The D, the O Line, the Receivers, Special Teams, arguably ALL of those were worse factors in all but a couple of the 8 losses.
