Speaker 1: Hi, everyone, Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, joined alongside as always by Wes Hodkowitz.
Speaker 1: Were coming to you here from our studios at lambeau
Speaker 1: Field and West. We're here to review a twenty two
Speaker 1: to nothing victory for the Green Bay Packers over the
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in Week four Sunday at lambeau Field. Proves
Speaker 1: the Packers to to one and one at the quarter pole.
Speaker 1: But with this one, you might as well start with
Speaker 1: the defense because anytime there's a zero on the scoreboard
Speaker 1: at the end of the game, that's a pretty good day.
Speaker 1: First time at lambou Field since two thousand nine, first
Speaker 1: time period since two thousand ten Halloween at the New
Speaker 1: York Jets, and nine to zero victory for the Green
Speaker 1: Bay Packers. Yeah, that was a shutout without a touchdown
Speaker 1: by the offense as a matter of fact, and it
Speaker 1: was very interesting. Mike. Obviously you wrote about it for
Speaker 1: your game story. I wrote about it for our locker
Speaker 1: room report. A lot of guys mentioned afterwards. Actually, Kyle
Speaker 1: Fraker was the first one to bring this up after
Speaker 1: his three sack game this past week. I should say
Speaker 1: even I think it was actually on Saturday, Mike Petton
Speaker 1: sat down all of his defensive players and he put
Speaker 1: up a slide for them, showing them the breakdowns of
Speaker 1: their production and points allowed per quarter and just the
Speaker 1: drastic difference between where they were in the first and
Speaker 1: where they've been in the third, and kind of reiterating
Speaker 1: to the guys with the main point being, you can
Speaker 1: do this. You can play a full sixty minute game
Speaker 1: without mistakes. You've done it in quarters, why not do
Speaker 1: it for sixty full minutes. Certainly, playing against Josh Allen
Speaker 1: helped the young rookie quarterback for the Bills. Things did
Speaker 1: not go well for him on the day and the
Speaker 1: Packers were able to take advantage of it. Though, And
Speaker 1: I know I got a lot of comments people saying, well,
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what you expected the Bills. This
Speaker 1: is the team they were other than that that game
Speaker 1: against the Vikings. But the thing is, Mike, is so
Speaker 1: often we want to throw teams, we want to throw
Speaker 1: coordinators under the bus after a rough performance. When you
Speaker 1: play well against an opponent you're supposed to beat, that
Speaker 1: comes with the territory. That's a part of the process.
Speaker 1: So when you look at the weight of a season
Speaker 1: in sixteen games, there's going to be those instances. And
Speaker 1: for the Packers, and credit to Mike Petton and his guys,
Speaker 1: they were able to take advantage of that, and you know,
Speaker 1: really were the number one reason why the Packers were
Speaker 1: able to get out of there with a win because
Speaker 1: the Bills did not score any points. And when you
Speaker 1: look at you mentioned Josh Allen. Obviously, what I saw
Speaker 1: out there and as I as I always remind everyone,
Speaker 1: I am no XS and OS expert when it comes
Speaker 1: to this stuff. But what I saw out there was
Speaker 1: a quarterback to me who was dropping back in the
Speaker 1: pocket and he wasn't sure what he was seeing, and
Speaker 1: whether it was the the guys up at the line
Speaker 1: of scrimmage dropping into coverage, whether it was the back
Speaker 1: end covered switching to different coverage patterns man versus zone
Speaker 1: after the snap, whatever it was that was going on,
Speaker 1: I don't think Alan could quite decipher. He wasn't entirely
Speaker 1: sure what was out there. And when he's not sure,
Speaker 1: then the passes aren't accurate because because the confidence, the um,
Speaker 1: the belief that everything is the way it should be,
Speaker 1: it's not there. And so then so then you have
Speaker 1: some wild inaccuracy. He ended up less than fifty completions,
Speaker 1: turn the ball over three times, two interceptions, also got
Speaker 1: stripped by Kenny Clark was sacked seven times. His passerating
Speaker 1: ends up thirty six point three total yards for the Bills,
Speaker 1: mostly thanks to losing sixty plus yards and sacks. Total
Speaker 1: yards for the Bills a hundred and forty five yards.
Speaker 1: That's the fewest total yards the Packers have given up
Speaker 1: in a game since down in Tampa Bay when they
Speaker 1: held the Buccaneers to just a hundred and nine. So
Speaker 1: a really solid all around defensive performance. This isn't one
Speaker 1: of those Factral had a great game with three sacks.
Speaker 1: But even with that, with a couple of those coming
Speaker 1: at the end, this isn't one of those where you're
Speaker 1: saying this one guy for the Packers just went off
Speaker 1: and had this amazing day. I thought as a unit,
Speaker 1: as as a group, these guys played solidly. We talked
Speaker 1: about it last week. It was time to put together
Speaker 1: a four quarter game, and they did that. Yeah, and Jr.
Speaker 1: Alexander comes up with a big interception there. Uh and
Speaker 1: and certainly it was a bad to throw by Josh
Speaker 1: Allen there at the twenty. He gets pushed out of
Speaker 1: the pocket by Reggie Gilbert. He has Blake Martinez kind
Speaker 1: of breathing down his neck and he throws this in
Speaker 1: advised ball into the end zone. Alexander makes the play,
Speaker 1: but you have to make that play. That took points
Speaker 1: off the board. He returns it out. Yeah. That that
Speaker 1: that's just a terrible decision by Alan. It clearly falls
Speaker 1: in the category of a rookie mistake. I mean, I
Speaker 1: know things weren't going well, but it's thirteen to nothing.
Speaker 1: If you get a field goal there, if you just
Speaker 1: throw the ball away, kick the field goal, it's thirteen
Speaker 1: to three. Year down by ten on the road, you
Speaker 1: know the game is not over. He throws that interception,
Speaker 1: the Packers get another field goal the other and it's
Speaker 1: sixteen nothing at halftime. You're in a much bigger hole.
Speaker 1: And as Mason I asked Mason Crosby about this the
Speaker 1: game after the game too, not only being able to
Speaker 1: turn the tide there and get them off the board
Speaker 1: in the last minute of halftime, being able to march
Speaker 1: down the field and set up a fifty two yard
Speaker 1: field goal for Mason Crosby. When you're getting the ball
Speaker 1: going into the second half, that's really demoralizing for a
Speaker 1: team to to be able to have to weather that.
Speaker 1: But then ha ha, Clinton Dix also makes his third
Speaker 1: straight interception in three straight games. You look at the
Speaker 1: past rushing packages claim Matthews got to the quarterback, there
Speaker 1: were no flags thrown, which actually I say that facetiously,
Speaker 1: but some of the guys even said Matthews even mentioned
Speaker 1: to a couple of hits on Matthews or on Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: not that he wants to see his quarterback get hit,
Speaker 1: but he said he agreed with it. It was good
Speaker 1: to not see the laundry flying. And I think as
Speaker 1: the Packers the game war on, they got more comfortable
Speaker 1: in their assignments. The pressure packages were where they needed
Speaker 1: to be. They started getting contributions from Jermaine Whitehead as
Speaker 1: a blitzer, Blake Martinez got a sack, the it was
Speaker 1: all across the board for the Packers. And as to
Speaker 1: original point, when you get that many different people contributing,
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark had a force fumble and recovery late in
Speaker 1: the game, it's it's gonna lead to good things. And
Speaker 1: the Packers they've been waiting for a performance like this
Speaker 1: were from beginning to end, they stitched together a complete
Speaker 1: showing six three and outs. I believe it was seven
Speaker 1: if you count them just giving up at the end
Speaker 1: of the game after factors last sack. It was. It
Speaker 1: was a type of performance I think that group needed. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you mentioned the no laundry on the field, and
Speaker 1: it wasn't just not getting the roughing the pastor calls,
Speaker 1: but with the past interference and defensive holding and the
Speaker 1: stuff that the Packers were troubled without in Washington, it
Speaker 1: was really good to see that those penalties weren't happening
Speaker 1: even happening either. And I'll say this with regarding the
Speaker 1: roughing the pastor stuff. We saw what Antonio Morrison did
Speaker 1: when he got a free rush up the mill and
Speaker 1: I saw the same thing when we were kind of
Speaker 1: finishing up our website coverage late in the day towards
Speaker 1: the end of the Oakland Cleveland game. Hit on Oakland
Speaker 1: quarterback Derek Carr. What you're seeing rushers doing now they're dropped.
Speaker 1: They're just gonna drop the shoulder and drill the quarterback
Speaker 1: in the mid section and they're not going to wrap
Speaker 1: him up. They're just gonna use their shoulder to knock
Speaker 1: him down because then you can't get the falling on
Speaker 1: top of him and this and that or lift and
Speaker 1: scoop and all these other calls we've been seeing. So
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks are gonna take I think they're gonna potentially
Speaker 1: take some harder hits because defenders don't want to wrap up.
Speaker 1: So another thing that falls under unintended consequences potentially of
Speaker 1: this rule. Will see how that develops. But for the
Speaker 1: Packers to get seven sacks, I actually went into the
Speaker 1: week saying this is not a week you have to
Speaker 1: sack the quarterback a whole lot, keep Josh Allen in
Speaker 1: the pocket, don't let him run. They ended up doing both.
Speaker 1: He didn't get away to run and they also sacked
Speaker 1: him a bunch. Yeah, Kyler Factrol. Another question I asked
Speaker 1: after the game to him is how much of an
Speaker 1: emphasis was that for them? And that really sounded like
Speaker 1: it was their biggest primary objective after seeing what Alan
Speaker 1: had did with his feet, and ultimately I think that
Speaker 1: game against the Vikings we've talked about a numerous times now.
Speaker 1: They got a couple of turnovers they capitalize on those turnovers. Offensively,
Speaker 1: Buffalo had a really good drive to start the game,
Speaker 1: and from there Josh Allen just kept moving the chains
Speaker 1: with his feet and doing what he had to do
Speaker 1: to keep the ball in the Bill's hands. The Packers
Speaker 1: didn't allow them to do that in this game. He
Speaker 1: had five carries, I think, for nineteen yards all told,
Speaker 1: and Shady McCoy didn't become a big you know, part
Speaker 1: of this thing. They were able to keep uh, Chris
Speaker 1: Ivory and check out he went off for whatever it
Speaker 1: was the eighty or ninety receiving yards last week. All
Speaker 1: in all, the Packers did exactly what they needed to
Speaker 1: do to win this game. And I think if nothing
Speaker 1: tells you more about the week to week nature of
Speaker 1: this thing. The Packers entered the game twenty three in
Speaker 1: total defense. They were six by the end of the night.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's not just Green Bay either.
Speaker 1: That shows you across the league how much things can
Speaker 1: flip this early in the season. Mike McCarthy said it
Speaker 1: last week. You don't really know what you are until
Speaker 1: you get through that first quarter, until you get through
Speaker 1: maybe those first five or six games. I'm not saying,
Speaker 1: you know, the Packers gotta put together another strong performance
Speaker 1: next week against Detroit, but at the very least, it
Speaker 1: showed these guys what they're capable of when everything comes together. Yeah, alright, Well,
Speaker 1: before we switch gears to talk about the offensive side,
Speaker 1: excuse me a little sponsored business here west at home
Speaker 1: or here in the stands. We all know that Green
Speaker 1: Bay fans give it their all and that takes a
Speaker 1: lot of energy. So grab a warm bowl of Campbell's
Speaker 1: Chunky Soup. It's meaty goodness fuels the greatness of Packers
Speaker 1: fans everywhere tried the delicious classic chicken noodle soup. Just
Speaker 1: visit your local supermarket and ask for Campbell's Chunky Soup.
Speaker 1: Official sup partner of the Green Bay Packers. Okay, offensive
Speaker 1: side of the ball A good start for the Packers.
Speaker 1: Two touchdowns within the first I believe nineteen to twenty
Speaker 1: minutes of the game, but then they couldn't find the
Speaker 1: end zone after that, settled for some field goals, had
Speaker 1: a couple of turnovers here and there. Aaron Rodgers clearly
Speaker 1: not happy with the way the offense performed. Mike McCarthy
Speaker 1: trying to stay a little bit more upbeat and saying Hey,
Speaker 1: of course, we know we have things to work on.
Speaker 1: You know, there, there's there, There always are, and it's
Speaker 1: always great to work on things after a victory as
Speaker 1: opposed to after a loss. But Packers had to play
Speaker 1: without Randall Cobb. If there's one thing that stood out
Speaker 1: to me in this game, it's what we talked about
Speaker 1: last week. You wrote about it as well with regards
Speaker 1: to the running backs. This three headed backfield a hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty three yards from scrimmage. If you combine the
Speaker 1: rushing and receiving yardage of all three guys, boy, you
Speaker 1: take that any day of the week. Yeah, And I
Speaker 1: think time Montgomery was a big part of this thing too,
Speaker 1: because you don't have Randall Cobb available in the slot.
Speaker 1: So the Packers actually, I thought ransom concepts that helped
Speaker 1: not only get the ball in Montgomery's hands, but allow
Speaker 1: him to make plays in the open field. I go
Speaker 1: back to that forty three rd catch, which ended up
Speaker 1: being the longest play from scrimmage of the day. He
Speaker 1: motions out lines up in the slot, finds a soft
Speaker 1: spot in that secondary of Buffalo catches, it brings it
Speaker 1: up field forty three yards. Explosive play, Packers get moving.
Speaker 1: You look at Aaron Jones his first play, checking in
Speaker 1: right away, same exact game plan is last week, right
Speaker 1: where you had Jamal Williams start, you had Time Montgomery
Speaker 1: come in. Third series, goes to Jones. Jones gets the ball,
Speaker 1: h back. Gotta give a lot of credit to to lane.
Speaker 1: Lance Kendricks opens the lane there with being able to
Speaker 1: seal off the linebacker, and once you give Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: two free steps, he's off to the races. Gets thirty
Speaker 1: yards on that another seventeen office screen Jamal Williams. Although
Speaker 1: if you look statistically, I don't think it's gonna jump
Speaker 1: out to you. I thought, especially in the first off,
Speaker 1: was very important for moving the chains. I get it.
Speaker 1: You want to feature guys, you want guys to get
Speaker 1: twenty touches a game, but that isn't the way the
Speaker 1: league has gone right now. You need to have multiple
Speaker 1: options to be able to keep guys on their heels,
Speaker 1: keep defenders not knowing what your next move is gonna be.
Speaker 1: I thought the Packers executed that brilliantly. Yeah, and the
Speaker 1: fans continue to ask when you see the explosiveness of
Speaker 1: a player like Aaron Jones, they continue to ask why
Speaker 1: is he not getting the ball more? Why is he
Speaker 1: not getting the ball more? Okay, against Washington, his first
Speaker 1: game after the two games suspension, he touched the ball
Speaker 1: seven times. Yesterday he touched at twelve times, eleven rushes,
Speaker 1: one reception. I can see his workload continuing to increase here.
Speaker 1: But as we continue to say, this is about the
Speaker 1: long game. This is about still seeing on explosive dynamic
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones at Thanksgiving and beyond, hopefully setting yourself up
Speaker 1: for a playoff run, not just Okay, we're going to
Speaker 1: hand in the ball twenty to twenty two or twenty
Speaker 1: five times a game and then hope he holds up
Speaker 1: for the next three months, when let's be honest, as
Speaker 1: a rookie his he didn't hold up. So all of
Speaker 1: this is part of the equation here, not to mention
Speaker 1: the production you did get from Time Montgomery and the
Speaker 1: reliability you get between the tackles from Jamal Williams, whose
Speaker 1: numbers I think would have looked better if not for
Speaker 1: those carries at the very end of the game when
Speaker 1: the Packers were just trying to run the clock totally.
Speaker 1: And the other thing too might to remember think about
Speaker 1: the last two times the Packers truly featured a running back.
Speaker 1: It was Eddie Lacy in two thousand, thirteen and fourteen.
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacey ran like a bowl those two seasons, but
Speaker 1: he also ran hurt, basically down the stretch of both
Speaker 1: of the thirteen I think was the year we end
Speaker 1: up having the high ankle sprain, and he just pushed
Speaker 1: through it because of his running stone, his ability to
Speaker 1: absorb that contact. You want to have those guys right,
Speaker 1: you want to have them healthy for late in the season.
Speaker 1: The Packers did not get that benefit last year. Just
Speaker 1: seemed like when one guy was up, another guy happened
Speaker 1: to be down. They're trying to extend this thing. They're
Speaker 1: trying to make sure that they have those matchup problems
Speaker 1: for defenses to really have to hone in on in
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. Aaron Jones off to
Speaker 1: a great start seventeen carries for I believe a hundred
Speaker 1: and seventeen yards or some thing like that on the season.
Speaker 1: They want more of that, but they also want more
Speaker 1: of that through the next twelve games of the year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: also a lot of questions about Aaron Rodgers postgame comments.
Speaker 1: Fans are wondering what was he being critical the head coach.
Speaker 1: He didn't sound like he was happy with the game
Speaker 1: plan or the play calling or something like that. There
Speaker 1: was definitely some frustration in his voice with some of
Speaker 1: those issues. I want to hear what Mike McCarthy has
Speaker 1: to say later today after which will be after the
Speaker 1: taping of this episode, and perhaps we'll get into that
Speaker 1: discussion more later in the week. But I will say
Speaker 1: this about the message that Rogers was sending. I think
Speaker 1: in some ways he's a little tired of the narrative
Speaker 1: of how inspiring he's being by playing on the knee.
Speaker 1: It's a month into the season now. I think Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers is sending a message that things need to switch
Speaker 1: a little from inspiration to execution, and this offense needs
Speaker 1: to execute more consistently and and find the rhythm that
Speaker 1: it needs for Aaron Rodgers, even with a bad knee,
Speaker 1: to still be at his best. Yeah, because I think
Speaker 1: you've seen him be able to move the football yesterday.
Speaker 1: They had for nothing to sneeze that in an NFL game,
Speaker 1: Absolutely very important to have that aspect of it. But
Speaker 1: you also want to turn those points into touchdowns. You
Speaker 1: want to turn that production into touchdowns points on the scoreboard,
Speaker 1: and I think that was probably the biggest takeaway. Although
Speaker 1: they did move the ball, they again had to settle
Speaker 1: for some field goals. They again, you know, had some
Speaker 1: opportunities where they just didn't quite hone in on everything
Speaker 1: when they got into gotten into the scoring territory. To
Speaker 1: be honest with you, I actually thought the offense responded
Speaker 1: pretty well considering they lost. They didn't have Randall Cobb
Speaker 1: for this game, and as I mentioned in our pregame periscope,
Speaker 1: there's just nobody that replaces him. They actually they did
Speaker 1: some stuff that they do with Cobb, with Davante Adams
Speaker 1: work in the slot a little bit, but for the
Speaker 1: most part, you just don't have another player like that
Speaker 1: on your roster. And then you also lose Geronimo Allison
Speaker 1: late in the game and he's off to a really
Speaker 1: good start ends up being diagnosed with a concussion. So yeah,
Speaker 1: for the Packers, depending on what happens here with Allison
Speaker 1: and Cobb, you have to feed Adams, you have to
Speaker 1: feed Jimmy Graham, who did get his first touchdown with
Speaker 1: the Packers. Those are your primary playmakers. I think that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a big focus for them here, trying to
Speaker 1: make sure that they feed those mouths, because give Davante
Speaker 1: Adams a lot of credit. Eight catches for eighty one
Speaker 1: yards going up against Tradavious White, a very talented young cornerback,
Speaker 1: and Adams still found ways to get separation on fourteen targets. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and hats off to the guys in the trenches here
Speaker 1: for the Packers too, because going into this game, we're
Speaker 1: talking about Mohammed Wilkerson and Justin McCrae as two significant
Speaker 1: injuries in the trenches here for the Packers. On the
Speaker 1: offensive line Byrone Bell filled in just find no issue.
Speaker 1: Nobody was even talking about it. And the same thing
Speaker 1: on the defensive line with Dean Lowry his snaps going
Speaker 1: up when the Packers were in those three defensive line packages. Obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, over the long term, it's hard to replace
Speaker 1: a guy like Mohammed Wilkerson who is on injured reserve,
Speaker 1: and it doesn't sound like we'll be seeing him again
Speaker 1: this season. But at least the early returns, the Packers
Speaker 1: didn't look any different upfront in terms of defending the run. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they didn't. They actually defended really well, I think it
Speaker 1: was fifty six total yards, and that's including the nineteen
Speaker 1: scrambling that they got from Josh Allen as well. Yet,
Speaker 1: Kenny Clark, I'm curious to see how they handle this
Speaker 1: because I think I don't know the exact stats in
Speaker 1: front of me. Actually, you know what, I can look
Speaker 1: it up. He played a lot again, and that's sort
Speaker 1: of been the path for him so far this season.
Speaker 1: Yet snaps out of the eighty one. All told, he's
Speaker 1: been a bell cow for them in the middle, certainly
Speaker 1: Dean Lowry jumping in there. But on the offensive line, Mike,
Speaker 1: I thought they had a whale of a ball game
Speaker 1: Byron Bell moving in there. Brian Bloggett got a little
Speaker 1: nicked up for a second, but stayed in the game.
Speaker 1: I thought played well at that right tackle position. And
Speaker 1: for my money, and I'm not Larry mccare and he
Speaker 1: knows the stuff a lot better than I do. I
Speaker 1: thought David Backyard was exceptional in this game. Obviously, we
Speaker 1: know what he does as a pass blocker and all
Speaker 1: pro in that regard, but he's getting down the field
Speaker 1: with his athleticism, taking on you know, linebackers and defensive backs,
Speaker 1: you know, being able to make sure you get a
Speaker 1: hat on a body. And Jerry Hughes the Buffalo defensive end.
Speaker 1: He was the guy who changed that game in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: The previous week. We didn't even hear about Jerry was
Speaker 1: yesterday and that that's that's a huge credit to David
Speaker 1: bat He's playing like the all pro that he is.
Speaker 1: Two sacks and obviously you know you can go and
Speaker 1: diagnose those and make of it what you will, but
Speaker 1: a hundred forty one yards on the ground, and that's
Speaker 1: exactly the target that you're looking for. Tip your captain
Speaker 1: Byron Bell, as you said, he's a veteran. He's been
Speaker 1: through the wars there in the trenches. I think he
Speaker 1: looks great as a guard. I've always liked him as
Speaker 1: a guard. Certainly he gives you the flexibility at tackle,
Speaker 1: but I think that guard position really suits him well.
Speaker 1: He was getting downfield on some screen opportunities. Looked like
Speaker 1: the guy had been playing in that scheme all this summer.
Speaker 1: He looked like he was a guy that could be
Speaker 1: counted on in that spot. Yeah, I agree with you. Well,
Speaker 1: before we go today, West, a quick look at where
Speaker 1: things stand in the NFC North at the quarter pole here.
Speaker 1: Everybody has four games in. The Chicago Bears on top
Speaker 1: at three and one. They're on a three game winning
Speaker 1: streak after the Week one loss here at lambeau Field.
Speaker 1: Packers next at two, one and one, the Minnesota Vikings
Speaker 1: at one, two and one, and the Detroit Lions lose
Speaker 1: on a walk off field goal by the Dallas Cowboys.
Speaker 1: So the Lion are one and three, the Packers opponent
Speaker 1: next Sunday in Detroit. I'll say this about the Bears.
Speaker 1: I said it after the Week one game here when
Speaker 1: we saw Matt Naggie and that offense with Mr Drabinsky,
Speaker 1: I said, if they start attacking and throwing the ball
Speaker 1: down the field and True Whisky starts getting that part
Speaker 1: of the game figured out, watch out for this offense.
Speaker 1: And boy, they really attacked the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And
Speaker 1: I'll say this, looking at the highlights, those guys were
Speaker 1: so wide open down the field. It was as though
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers came out with a defensive game plan to
Speaker 1: take away all of the horizontal college like stuff that
Speaker 1: I had talked about. They it was as though they
Speaker 1: weren't even prepared for True Whisky to push the ball
Speaker 1: down the field and his receivers were just wide open
Speaker 1: the entire first half. They got out to a huge lead,
Speaker 1: absolutely demolished the Buccaneers at Soldier Field. Chicago. Bears are
Speaker 1: three and one and that right now they are the
Speaker 1: talk of the NFC Nors and it's funny too much
Speaker 1: because you look at what they're doing with Terri Cohen
Speaker 1: now too. It all was sort of reminds you a
Speaker 1: little bit. You know, Creem Hunts a different player, but
Speaker 1: just reminds you of those those running backs and the
Speaker 1: guys that you know, they were able to make into
Speaker 1: huge playmakers during his time with Andy Reid in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Had a phenomenal game yesterday, hundred and twenty one yards receiving,
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel fitting in really nicely with that offense. Allen
Speaker 1: Robinson got a touchdown. So, yeah, you have to respect
Speaker 1: the Bears. And the other thing that's really interesting too, Mike,
Speaker 1: you know, you can perseverate. I think that's been a
Speaker 1: word you and I've been throwing around lately. You can
Speaker 1: perseverate on what happened in the second half against uh
Speaker 1: and even the last, you know, thirty minutes against Minnesota.
Speaker 1: You can talk about the slow start against Washington. Depending
Speaker 1: on how this year works out for the Packers in
Speaker 1: the NFC North, the final thirty minutes of that game,
Speaker 1: which Chicago, could have huge ramifications for the season if
Speaker 1: if the Packers continue to, you know, go upon this pace,
Speaker 1: if the Bears continue to find ways to get those victories,
Speaker 1: if they get Mitchell Robinsky more confidence. A game like
Speaker 1: that is going to go a long way in that
Speaker 1: young man's confidence being open it up with six touchdown passes,
Speaker 1: three fifty four yard It's it's gonna be very interesting
Speaker 1: because all those games we talked about all the time.
Speaker 1: Division games have huge ramifications for your season. Packers coming
Speaker 1: back to beat the Bears, man, that could be one
Speaker 1: to follow once we get to week seventeen, Yeah, no
Speaker 1: question about it. With that, we will call it a
Speaker 1: wrap on this edition of Packers Unscripted. Be sure to
Speaker 1: follow all of our coverage of the team on Packers
Speaker 1: dot Com on Twitter. He's at west Hot, I'm at
Speaker 1: Mike Spofford at Packers for the team account. Thanks for
Speaker 1: tuning in, everybody, See you next time.
