I don't watch any game film. I was at the game so I got to see less for replays than what's on the TV.

I specifically was watching the route running because you never get to see that on the television. I really like that I get to be my own viewing filter when I am at the stadium for the game.

[ThunderDan]

You would have a point here, if indeed, the CB had played outside leverage. But the replays (3 or 4 times, Aikman was insistent on going back to it) showed the CB with inside technique. He failed to diagnose Jennings route early enough and the throw was so quick, he had no time to react. Good route, and good throw.

Sorry, I was at the game and didn't get the benefit of Troy Aikman's commentary. It sure looked like outside technique to me live and on the replay. Gimme a break. I didn't get to super slow mo the play.

As stated previously, Aikman pointed out how Graham had inside technique, but he was slow to react and Jennings showed his quickness and burst to get inside of him.

Rodgers engineered an eight-play, 73-yard drive in the first quarter that ended in a quick slant to Greg Jennings for a 3-yard score. Jennings slid by Graham on the play.

"I was actually anticipating it to come inside a little bit," Graham said. "Maybe next time I'll be a little more inside."

[ThunderDan]

The Tundra Tailgate Area absolutely sucks. I know the Packers are making money by creating that “experience” for the pre-game but it causes huge crowd flow issues. If you tailgate before the game at the Stadium View and walk past the Resch center to enter the stadium it is now a complete bottleneck.

Have you entered the Oneida Nation Gate at all this year prior to this game? I'm just curious because this was the first game that I've seen it bottle-necked like this, too. Went in through this gate for the MN and Atlanta games and it went fairly smooth. ALL the gates had longer lines and it's to be expected for colder games when security has more layers of clothing and blankets being carried in, etc.

Personally, I think the Tundra Tailgate area is awesome. That's where we were before the game yesterday, too and we had a great time.

This was my first game this year. My in-laws have Gold package season tickets. It sure caused a cluster fuck to get into the game. First time ever to have that issue. I've been to a few "cold" weather games and have never had to wait that long to get in.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I'll point out that ThunderDan did say this before the year.

We still get 6 games in the NFC North which should help big time. 9-7 could easily win the division.

Who is E. Homer?

Rodgers = STUD

Like any QB will make every throw. Good God. You want to talk about what ifs? What if Lee had caught that perfect throw for a TD? Then, you are looking at 24 for 30 for 240 yards and 3 TDs. People cream themselves when other QBs play that well. Different standard for this QB.

Rodgers certainly does belong on the stud list.
He played an excellent, smart game, making the Bear defense look silly.
