I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen
Studs:
Dillon - carried the offense
Watson - better every game, trading up was a good idea
Lowry - actually made plays today
Zach Tom - a bright future
Pass blocking - kept AR clean against a weak rush
Lazard - can we keep him for next year as a 3 or 4?
Lewis - aging like fine wine
Duds:
TE’s - little to offer from this whole group other than small contributions
Alexander - his interception didn’t make up for his regular lack of focus
AR - MVP, no. Average, aging QB, yes.
Bears - they still suck

Why is pass blocking in Duds?

Rodgers basically was his old self today all things considered, definitely a stud. Some dumbasses seem to undervalue not throwing interceptions. The O Line did a better job pass blocking that they have in a long time, although maybe that was partly because of Bear suckage. They also were decent part of the time anyway on running plays. Tom looked better than recent Bakhtiari, maybe even better than Bakhtiari when people thought he was so good. Dillon was damn good. I still get the impression every time he has a good gain, though, that given the same blocking, Jones would get more yardage. Watson of course - a stud, Lazard decent, maybe not studly. Can a WR be a stud without catching a pass - just throwing good blocks on two TD runs? I say no. Watson woulda outrun everybody even without Watkins' block, maybe Dillon too.
I'm having a hard time thinking of any studs on D. Alexander was more dud than stud. Ditto that for Douglas, Campbell, and Walker. Clark was way better than past weeks, but not enough to call him a stud. Nixon predictably IMO came down to earth as a returner, and the missed tackle on the Fields run outweighed the desperation pick at the end.
I can't think of any out and out duds either, O or D.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Rodgers was 18-31 with 182 yards and a QB rating of 85.7.
This was against a team with 3 of 4 starters out in the secondary and a pass rush so anemic they couldn’t produce even one sack. That is the definition of average in the NFL.
I was asked tonight how the Packers coulda beat the Cowboys with that fierce pass rush the they have. The answer, obviously, was Rodgers' mobility. Today too, even though the Packers O Line was better than usual (or else the Bears' pass rush really was anemic), there still was a significant rush a lot of times - but Rodgers just calmly handled it, didn't throw picks like Fields, and completed passes, often against good pass coverage. The other thing about those "average" numbers - you ungrateful dumbass, is that when your running game is working, you aren't gonna get as many yards or TDs.

Actually, I would call it below average.

So to be clear. Packers win....all Rodgers greatness. Packers lose.....Rodgers gets no help at all.
