Studs and Duds, Packers at Pyrhuloxia's

[run pMc]

DL did a really good job of rushing with discipline. Murray wasn't 100% but he didn't have rushing lanes to go off a la Heinecke. Kenny Clark and Dean Lowry (!) were nuisances. Lowry took Josh Jones' lunch money.

Was a good game plan -- basically play ARI how teams play GB with shell coverage, make them earn things, etc. Difference was ARI barely ran the ball. They also barely had the ball -- GB won the TOP by a full quarter (~37:30/22:30) because of Dillon/Jones.

DeAndre Hopkins being hurt and missing a lot of snaps helped the D also. Stokes got schooled on the long catch, but any CB probably would have there. I think he's taken his lumps this year but he's good now and could be REALLY good in a year or two.
ARI has a fast defense, GB's offense was well managed by Rodgers. His stats were very pedestrian but he got everything he could. Aaron Jones leading the way with 7 catches on 11 targets; Lots of short passes and screens. OL was decent - gave the RBs and Rodgers a chance. Speaking of RBs, Dillon and Jones broke a lot of tackles and were very physical.

ST didn't screw up, Bojo continues to excel, Mason is Mason and they get a positive bounce on a fumbled punt for once.

Really impressive win. Rodgers called it 'gritty' and I'd agree.

My Boner.

I've had a stiffie since the final whistle blew.

Holy shit, is this normal?

(caveat: I, like Smuggler, am not entirely sober atm.)

Punctuation is everything. Without the comma after smuggler that post has an entirely different feel.

Jenkins playing out of position. Man he is gonna be expensive to re sign. Mercedes is as old as Joe Louis when he fought Rocky Marciano but he just keeps doing his thing. Crushing run blocks and a handful of impactful catches a game.

If you remove the comma between "I" and "like", it really gets weird.
