Packers Hire New DC Joe Berry

If the defense can play like that pretty regularly we're in pretty good shape.

Would be nice to see what this defense could do with Jaire, Stokes and Z playing. Hopefully Clark is okay.

Another "if" hahahaha. Probably Barry gets a lot of credit, but it could also be more about the offenses of the teams we played today and 3 of the last 4 games. I'll still give him a grade of incomplete.

Barry burying his critics after a bad Week 1. Boy, I sure don't miss Brandon.

I want him back. LET'S GO BRANDON, get back here and tell me how this game PROVES that Rodgers should be coach/owner/GM/QB!!!

Gotta admit that this defense has steadily improved over the first half of the season. Linebackers are actually making plays we haven't seen in years. Barry deserves plenty of kudos for getting his system in and righting the ship after that awful week 1. He found the issues and got them fixed.

Still waiting on that from Drayton and the special teams...after a full month of tomfoolery, which seems to actually continue to get worse week after week.

You play who you play. Dominating bad offenses is what you are supposed to do...and was something we didn't do on a regular basis the past few years.

On a kind of side notes, the Chiefs really looked off. Something's not right there. Lots of dropped passes, dumb plays. That did help the defense, though the defense did play well. If King had just hung on to that interception toward the end of the first half, and had Bojo spun those laces on the field goal attempts, we might've been looking at an OT game last night.

But even though the Chiefs looked bad, a Packer defense missing Z, Jaire, then Kenny Clark and Eric Stokes still played the Chiefs tough. And I was so wrong about Rashan Gary. He was a man amongst boys out there.

Gary is a violent dude. That has to be a long day for the RT taking him on all day.

To me, I think Andy Reid is about done as an NFL head coach. I don't mean that to say he doesn't have the capacity to coach, but he has to many other things outside football pressing on him. His son killed a kid with a DWI...coming from the Chiefs facility no less. Andy clearly is also having some serious health concerns on his own. He looked like a 90 year old man trying to hobble over to MLF after the game. Bring a head coach takes a lot out of you. I'm not sure Andy has much left to give.

Sad to see but I was thinking the same thing. Can't imagine the toll that being an NFL head coach has on ones body and mind. Comparing LeFluer and Reid on the sidelines is like day and night.

Gary really did stand out. I'm still withholding judgment, though, as to how much credit Barry gets for the good play by the D recently.

If memory serves, his other son committed suicide.

It's almost like that high-pressure lifestyle is rally hard on people and those around them.

Shanny, McDermott, McVay, a bunch of these young coaches look so much more healthy than the old school coaches.

I will be interested to see if this is a sea-change in attitude or if they are all fit and trim because they are young.

Packers defense now #5 in yards allowed per game and #6 in points allowed per game. This feels like 2010 with 1 exception: This team has a 4 game lead in division. 2010 team did not win division.

[Sparkey]

So as the season progresses and the players get more comfortable in the system, they start thinking less and start playing faster. I am liking how things have progressed.
