REALITY BITES--BEYOND THE QB---GREEN BAY VS the VIQUEENS---KUDOS TO RICK SPIELMAN

Oh, and to the coaching question. Why was House on the field instead of Jackson when King went down. WTF!

Is that a question for MM or for our new defensive coordinator?

It is but when they switched House off him in the second half, they put Alexander on him, not Jackson.

Doesn't specify if House stayed on the field but I think he did. Jackson seems to play only in dime and turbo (6 and 7 DBs).

Bretsky, after seeing that King got hurt - again - I have to say that the early returns on TT's pick are falling in your favor - I'd swap TJ Watt for the seemingly ever-injured Kevin King at this point.

Not to say that King can't come back and play and be healthy. When he does play he's good. But he doesn't play much.

Our OL contained their ridiculously better DL than ours. Daniels was held all day. I think we disproved this talent gap today, on a day that our all world QB wasn't that remarkably great.

I don't think that's the case... Rodgers kept us in it and gave us a chance to win, but the game didn't change my opinion that Minnesota is a superior organization across the board.

I fully expect Minnesota will blow us out when they play in Minnesota.

Rodgers was playing on 1 leg. Refs took away 1 Packer touchdown with phantom holding call. Allowed an eventual Viking TD drive to continue with Clay call. Yet it was a tie game even though the Vikings are superior at every position except QB. I guess the home field advantage must be worth about 30 points.

I think wist is trying to tell us that Zimmer is a terrible coach.

I've said I'm happy to be wrong.

But TJ Watt was right up the dam road. He had the talent, pedigree, and is a leader. ThanksTed

It will be interesting to see if the game in MN is close, or double digits

TJ Watt had 0 sacks, 1 tackle and 1 assist in the last game and was part of a defense that gave up 6 passing TD and a 154+ rating to a 2nd year QB.

Not a great look for a "stud" pass rusher.

But the pedigree. We know this is a dog and pony show.

I agree we should have won the game but for shit officiating... doesn't mean we're a better team.

Minnesota will likely have multiple pro bowlers... we'll have 1.

What were his stats for week one ??

The NFL doesn't count stats in the official totals when you play the Browns. They considered it an additional preseason game.

That one Packer all-pro outweighs all the Packer shortcomings at other positions and all the pro-bowlers, etc. that the Vikings and other teams have.

With a healthy Aaron Rodgers or even a 70 or 80% one, the Packers shouldn't lose to anybody. The Vikings probably are a top five team, but they are NOT as good as the Packers with Aaron Rodgers and a lame-assed supporting cast.
