I've been reading good things about Galeai. Unfortunate his chance comes at the cost of Mercilus, but hopefully he makes the most of the opportunity.

I was listening to Moving the Chains yesterday, Jim Miller was raving about TJ Slaton's play, eating up blocks freeing up LB's.

TBH I hadn't noticed that at all, but my focus is usually on the OLB's or Clark.

Has anyone paid attention to Slaton's play?

I’ve noticed him holding his own. He doesn’t seem to get washed out. That’s a good sign for a young player.

It's the offense - Aaron Rodgers' offense - that gets the job done/beats pretty much anybody all the time except for a few fluke games. It's stupid to say otherwise. The defense is the frosting on the cake. If Rodgers plays just normally for him and the D is nearly as good as it has been recently, we win just the way things are.

27-17
25-22
24-14
24-10
24-21
7-13
17-0

In today's NFL that's the defense winning games.

Packers are 19th in points scored. Defense is 3rd in points given up. Nothing wrong with that. Packers win Super Bowls when they have an elite defense. Look it up. Having a HOF QB isn't enough.

They won on Sunday with Defense and the Running Game.

Think about that for a minute.

I, for one, enjoyed watching our team physically dominate their opponent.

[texaspackerbacker]

Yeah, I enjoyed it more the years when we simply outscored 'em just about every game, but a win is a win is a win. I still say, it is the offense i.e. Aaron Rodgers that wins games, and I expect that to continue - hopefully long beyond just this season. As long as we win, though, there's no need to quibble about how.

And yet here you are quibbling after being shown that the O isn’t winning games.

So you're gonna say we would have won literally any of those games without Aaron Rodgers? In Harvey's list above, the offense average 23 points for each win even though for some reason he left out 35-17 versus the Lions and 30-28 versus the Niners. 23 points a game ought to be enough to win if the defense is even marginally decent. Can't we all just get along? hahahaha - as long as we win anyway.

23 points/game is below average in today’s NFL. Thus, the 19th ranked scoring offense.

[RashanGary]

The bright side is that once the OL is healthy, we have a chance to be better on offense than we have been and really make a push. Those free rushers, even 12 has a hard time with that

[George Cumby]

Yes. That is called 'winning'.

Most of the time when one scores more points than the other team, your team 'wins'.

Indeed, the Packers have been 'winning' for almost thirty years now, which means they generally outscore their opponents.

When the defense is really good and prevents the opponent from scoring as many 'points' it makes it easier to 'win' because one's offense no longer needs to score 35 a game to 'win'.

Most of central and west U.S. , plus Alaska and Hawaii will get Packers game. Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olson with the call. Lower peninsula of Michigan will get Detroit at Cleveland.
