In the back of my mind I was thinking it would be hard to picture Rodgers losing his 4th game in a row. I was hoping he would take the criticism personally that he got the past few weeks. I also knew the Vikings were playing well and it was going to be tough to beat the Vikes at their place.
The Packers defense really played well and it was fun to see! It sure made going to work in MN much easier today!
The offense still concerns me. We are beyond the half way point and they are clearly not in sync. Another big divisional game this week! BEAT THE BEARS!

The defense did play well. Fortunately they were able to corral Peterson. The guy can be a game changer.
Bridgewater was pressured. The Packers did it by blitzes from safeties, corner backs, and linebackers, sometimes combining one person from each of two, or three of those positions. Since the Vikings game is premised on shorter passes, they were able to play soft against the deep pass. Bridgewater helped by being a little long on several passes.
I'm still worried about our offense. Rodgers isn't smiling anymore. There seems to be some frustration between him and his receivers. It's like they just plain aren't on the same page whatsoever, and it's getting to Rodgers. He shows it with his frustration after a play.
Back to the defense. I can't understand why they can't play with consistency week after week. They seem to have enough talent to do it, but for some reason, when the Packers offense is productive, the defense fails, and when the Packers offense is miserable, they step up and play better. We need to see a 49-0 blow out in our favor, to get everyone on the same page, on both sides of the ball.
The next two Thursdays are going to tell us a lot about our team. They either step up even more, or they'll be booed off the field like they were the last home game. People will not spend big bucks watching a team that doesn't give it's best effort, especially in home games.
Let's hope Rodgers gets past this down swing. The most important asset a QB has is his ability to feel the game, and right now, Rodgers doesn't seem to have that feel.

I said this somewhere before, The Packers defense ,do not get the feeling that they are that good. They played against a very poor offensive Viking line, they have been injured and switching positions and they do not have the back ups even as good as ours. I am happy to see them get to play well even against a not so good line, It builds confidence, and that can help.
But this thurs. we play the bears with a good scoring offense. If the Packers cannot beat the bears line you better hope somehow the packers get an offense that can score. The bears offensive line is not that good, it to is in a rebuild mold, But they are better than the Viking line. So lets see if the Packers "D" can get it done against thew bears line. They have a solid rb that replaced Forte and they have a good set of receivers. this could be a close game. two weeks in a row thurs night games inside our div. Bears and lions, we really need to beat each team if by chance the Vikes keep wining. But i think that the Vikes are now getting into a tough 4 games schedule, they could real easily lose 2 or three of them and if we win the next two and they lose 2 our of 4 i think the last game of the season will not matter much we should have a 2 game lead by then

I agree. The defense was able to overwhelm the Vikings offensive line due to a lot of changes, and inexperience. I also agree that we need to keep that same pressure on the Bears defense, if we want a win on Thursday.
I'm not counting on anything at this point. I need to see Rodgers get that swagger back that tells us that he controls the game, not the dead pan look he has now, of a guy who sees the game controlling him.
