Coming in frustrated.

  • Jordan Love and offense was great.
  • Defense and special teams absolutely terrible, unacceptable, and shameful shit. Brandon McManus had to make multiple tackles on kick returns...and a second week with a costly blocked kick.
  • Matt LaFluer was also terrible and cost us multiple times. His clock and game management were horrendous and he deserves any flack he gets as this has been a theme for too long.
  • First, should have gone for it in the first half up 2 scores on 4th and short from Dallas side of the 50 when they couldn't stop a nose bleed. Step on their throat. Lack of killer instinct hurt us.
  • Second, what was he thinking being aggressive at end of first half with 40 yards to go to get into FG range, no time outs and 21 seconds left? Go into half with a lead... Insane. Maybe if we had the TO he burnt when Dallas mocked going for it on 4th from their own 30 yard line... Like they ever actually intended, instead we wasted the TO we could have used.
  • Third, his play calling in OT was pathetic. You have 45 seconds left, Emmanuel Wilson running strong down to the Dallas 12... Take some shots at the end zone right? Nah, two bubble screens, -3 yards, and 35 seconds run off the clock before we even attempt the end zone. Forcing us to settle for a tie and be lucky to get that FG attempt at all.

Go Pack Go, but after the past two weeks I am happy I won't need to watch them for two weeks. Use the bye and get healthy and figure it out.

theres been a bunch of blocked kicks recently. it's been awesome to watch but also seems like more than usual.

i come in peace after (minus the 4th quater) my vikes got embarrassed on the international stage.

i don't think LaFluer is a good playcaller/coach i think hes just been fortunate to have great talent around him that covers up a lot of problems.

i agree with you this is not the same green bay we watched the week 1.

Looked like they had the game in hand early. Cowboys are pesky this year. Their D is not good but they have been playing teams tough.

They got steamrolled by the Bears last week. The Russ Wilson Giants played essentially the same game as the Packers did vs Dallas. That's not company I want my team in haha. The Packers allowed them to be in the game. The blocked PAT and return, the free TD at end of half, etc. this should have been out of hand by half. At which point our DL pins their ears back the entire second half not having to worry about the run. It was a master class of what goes wrong when you give up free points and mismanage the game.
