Not sure what to read into that one.

It reminded me a LOT of the Detroit playoff game in 2011/12. If you didn't watch the game and looked at their numbers the next day, on paper Detroit looked like they were doing well and were in the game. Megatron and Stafford seemed like they were great, on paper, with their usual tons of yards. But the reality on the field and the scoreboard was totally different. That's what this game reminded me of.

The defense lacks consistency, depth and a good pass rush...

We got fortunate on both of the deflection interceptions and it swung the game in our favor. But very good to see Corey White was in the right place and playing well to allow those picks to happen.

Outside of some fails trying to tackle Eddie Lacy, our tackling was better than usual.

Our offense was keeping up with them just fine before he got hurt.
Our defense was even just a little better than theirs too. If he didn't get hurt 9 times out of 10 we win that game anyway.

We cause two interceptions against a QB who is regarded as one of the best if not the best in the league with only one interception all year, actually get a little pressure for a change and beat what many were calling a Super Bowl contender by 3 touchdowns and people are still *****ing.

they played with heart last night but there are still some areas of concern we need to mop up especially on the road

our secondary was getting hit bad with short receptions in the flats
white and ball were way off the ball
this is Aaron Rodgers
the key was we tightened within the red zone

too many mistackles in the secondary, although Lacey was certainly earning those extra yards

Finally - we send Cooks vertical and utilize his speed
he busted right past the safeties on that TD

Jimmy shows up this game

and Drew fortunately doesn't have a receiver bat the ball in the air for a gift (we got those bounces)

the media is focusing on a huge injury to Aaron Rodgers
didn't look like he was hurt while he fired darts and eluded sacks during the second half

we matched them score for score and then some when the turnovers and bonehead Packers going for it on their 40 occurred

glad to see Payton not blowing a game with tom foolery
shut them down on third down
