Speaker 1: Hi, everybody. Welcome to Packers Unscripted from Packers dot Com.
Speaker 1: I am Mike Spofford, joined by my trusted colleague Wes
Speaker 1: hodkwits were coming to you here from our studios at
Speaker 1: lambeau Field and West. I don't know what to say
Speaker 1: other than when you think there isn't anything else that
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers can do, he goes and does what he
Speaker 1: did on Sunday Night, twenty to nothing. Comes back from
Speaker 1: a knee injury in the second half, three going into
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and he wills the Packers to triumph
Speaker 1: over the Bears to open the Packers hundredth season in
Speaker 1: front of a crazed crowd at lambeau Field. Pretty unforgettable night. Well,
Speaker 1: here's what's funny, Mike. Between the two of us, we
Speaker 1: probably have a full night's sleep together, maybe maybe eight hours.
Speaker 1: Uh All last night when I was laying in bed,
Speaker 1: and this morning when I was driving into work, I
Speaker 1: knew we were doing unscripted. It was our first assignment
Speaker 1: of the morning, and I sat here trying to think
Speaker 1: of how in the heck am I going to find
Speaker 1: the words to describe exactly what happened in the last
Speaker 1: thirty minutes of that football game, as far as thirty
Speaker 1: minutes on the clock. Um, Aaron Rodgers has done so
Speaker 1: much throughout the course of his career, and you don't
Speaker 1: want to speak in hyperbole because he defies hyperbole with
Speaker 1: what he accomplishes on a weekend and week out basis.
Speaker 1: But this was one of those finest hour kind of
Speaker 1: moments for him. For the Packers to be in the
Speaker 1: position they were seventeen to nothing a halftime, twenty to
Speaker 1: nothing when he re enters the game, and for Rogers too,
Speaker 1: I mean, there was no room for error, There was
Speaker 1: no room for a ball outside of the zone. And
Speaker 1: you know, four pitch walk. He had to be cerebral
Speaker 1: and he had to be efficient right from the beginning.
Speaker 1: And I thought Brian Bulaga made a really good point
Speaker 1: in locker room that first drive when he was on
Speaker 1: the field, it didn't matter if it was a field goal,
Speaker 1: didn't matter if it was a touchdown. The Packers need
Speaker 1: to score points. They did that with a Mason Crosby
Speaker 1: field goal. And after that, you could just see the
Speaker 1: wheels turning. You could see the momentum building and in
Speaker 1: the end, another incredible, remarkable figure out what word you
Speaker 1: want to put with it, Mike, but of monumental performance
Speaker 1: by Aaron Rodgers and this opener. Yeah, he said after
Speaker 1: the game he's going to have some more tests on
Speaker 1: the knee. Injured the left knee when he was sacked
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. Carter to the locker room. Everybody
Speaker 1: in Packer Land wondering has the whole season gone up
Speaker 1: in smoke already? You know, you you fear the worst,
Speaker 1: you hope for the best. And uh, you know he
Speaker 1: jogged out of that tunnel after halftime, and you're like, okay.
Speaker 1: You know, in my mind, I was saying, Okay, no
Speaker 1: matter what happens tonight, at least it looks like he's okay.
Speaker 1: So so that was a good sign. And then um,
Speaker 1: and then for him to put on the performance he
Speaker 1: did in the second half. A perfect passerrating is one
Speaker 1: point three, right if you take his second half passing numbers.
Speaker 1: Before that final play with two seconds left where he
Speaker 1: just threw it out of bounds to kill the last
Speaker 1: couple of seconds, he was five tenths of a point
Speaker 1: from a perfect passer rating in the second half. The
Speaker 1: the efficiency, the explosiveness of the offense with the yards
Speaker 1: after the catch, the things that were happening, the throw
Speaker 1: to Geronimo Allison for the first touchdown, which was really
Speaker 1: when it felt that a comeback was possible. I mean,
Speaker 1: you get that game to twenty to ten, was still
Speaker 1: plenty of time left in the fourth quarter. Packers defense
Speaker 1: was playing pretty well at that stage of the game.
Speaker 1: You knew it was possible. That was really the jaw
Speaker 1: dropping throw of of the moment or of the game,
Speaker 1: but the rest of the performance to do what he
Speaker 1: did on one leg, he couldn't move out of the pocket,
Speaker 1: he had to throw on time. He shuffled around a
Speaker 1: little bit when he when he needed to to create
Speaker 1: a throwing lane here or there. And just hats off
Speaker 1: to the Packers playmakers. They made plays on the offensive line,
Speaker 1: boat up and got the job done. And here's the
Speaker 1: biggest thing, Like I said this in two thousand and
Speaker 1: fourteen as well, and I'm gonna say it right now.
Speaker 1: This these examples, when you go back to the final
Speaker 1: stretch of fourteen and what he did on Sunday night,
Speaker 1: are why Aaron Rodgers could potentially play well into his
Speaker 1: forties if if the health thing works out, Because he's
Speaker 1: going to be able to adapt his game. We've seen it.
Speaker 1: They had to do it again last night. They bust
Speaker 1: out more pistol formations in the second half. He has
Speaker 1: to operate more in the pocket. It becomes probably a
Speaker 1: little bit more of a traditional West Coast offense with
Speaker 1: the quick throws underneath, in allowing as you mentioned his
Speaker 1: receivers and we'll talk about them in a moment, to
Speaker 1: make plays after the run. That was a big thing
Speaker 1: in this game was the yards after the catch, and
Speaker 1: when you look at Rogers, I think that that's why
Speaker 1: when he gets to thirty and beyond, he's gonna be
Speaker 1: able to have success. Alah, Tom Brady, because that arm
Speaker 1: strength is gonna be there with him, and he knows
Speaker 1: how to navigate in the pocket when he wants to.
Speaker 1: Yes it ellimit will probably eliminate some of the free plays,
Speaker 1: might eliminate some of the scrambled drill type stuff. But
Speaker 1: as far as being in time and in sync with
Speaker 1: the offense, there's no one better, and the offense needed
Speaker 1: to get momentum built. I thought they did that with
Speaker 1: Randall Cobbs. Some of the short stuff underneath. You know,
Speaker 1: we talk about the you know, seventy five yard touchdown
Speaker 1: pass here in a minute. But Randall Cobb had a
Speaker 1: lot of really important catches underneath to keep the chains moving,
Speaker 1: and they were able to do that consistently throughout that
Speaker 1: second half. But for it going back to Aaron Rodgerson
Speaker 1: being in his being, the ball being in in his hand,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen anything better than
Speaker 1: that in terms of what he was able to do
Speaker 1: in the comeback. He was able to mount in spite
Speaker 1: of I'm sure need that wasn't feeling too hot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean a couple of other things that certainly played
Speaker 1: into this comeback. One was a bounce back, I guess
Speaker 1: you could say. For the offensive line in the second
Speaker 1: half compared to the first half, Khalil Mack was, you know,
Speaker 1: a one man wrecking crew almost. He ended up playing
Speaker 1: forty plus snaps in this game, which I think is
Speaker 1: more than a lot of us anticipated, and uh Packers
Speaker 1: really had a hard time with him in the first half.
Speaker 1: When Deshaun Kaiser's in the game, he simply stripped the
Speaker 1: ball away from him in the red zone when the
Speaker 1: Packers were at least going to be able to kick
Speaker 1: a field goal there and get on the scoreboard with
Speaker 1: the score only ten nothing at the time, and then
Speaker 1: the the pick six on you know, a somewhat careless
Speaker 1: play and he's Mr Johnny on the spot. Not only
Speaker 1: does he snag a short pass that uh um that
Speaker 1: nobody would have been necessarily expecting, but then he weaves
Speaker 1: his way and gets all the way into the end
Speaker 1: zone for a touchdown to make it seventeen nothing in
Speaker 1: the last minute of the first half. The Packers offensive
Speaker 1: line give credit to Brian Bulaga justin McCrae. They both
Speaker 1: had a couple of rough moments in the early going
Speaker 1: of this game. But then in the second half when
Speaker 1: the pocket had to be there for Rogers because he
Speaker 1: couldn't run away from it, the pocket was there and
Speaker 1: he's able to stand tall and make some throws. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that was just trusting your ninth year you know,
Speaker 1: veteran right tackle. It wasn't like the Packers started packing
Speaker 1: in you know, tackles and running backs to help out,
Speaker 1: you know, the edge with with Bolaga in box, tr
Speaker 1: I mean, they pretty much told those guys, your assignment
Speaker 1: is to block those guys one on one or do
Speaker 1: your best job to do so. And they were up
Speaker 1: to that challenge since the very beginning. As you mentioned,
Speaker 1: there were some play specifically in that first half that
Speaker 1: I know both Bolaga and McCrae wanted back, but for
Speaker 1: them to be able to adjust the way they did,
Speaker 1: and Bolaga talked about it, the technique he was working with,
Speaker 1: what he was trying to do against Mac. He got
Speaker 1: more comfortable with it in the second half and they
Speaker 1: were able to, you know, kind of negate him during
Speaker 1: that final stretch and and allow Rogers to get into
Speaker 1: that rhythm. But I mean the thing I keep going
Speaker 1: back to, and you addressed it early on. Mac played
Speaker 1: the defensive snaps for the Chicago Bears for behind Leonard Floyd,
Speaker 1: who had forty six as their top press rusher from
Speaker 1: the linebacker position before Max acquisition, so um Matt Nage
Speaker 1: and Vic Fanjiu had no problem putting them out there.
Speaker 1: They wanted to get him out there. And you could
Speaker 1: see that that was the tide that the Packers kind
Speaker 1: of had to weather a little bit in that first
Speaker 1: half because that was for everything that Aaron Rodgers did
Speaker 1: for the Packers in the second half with giving them
Speaker 1: a spark, Khalil Mac was that for Chicago both with
Speaker 1: what he did on the field, and I think just
Speaker 1: from a swagger standpoint to oh, no question. So for
Speaker 1: the Packers to be able to weather that and get
Speaker 1: to where they got um pretty pretty dumb impressive. And
Speaker 1: another thing I think that really stands out that you
Speaker 1: wouldn't have expected in terms of how this comeback happened
Speaker 1: is twenty four points in the second half of the
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers and Jimmy Graham did not catch a
Speaker 1: single pass. This was this was about the receivers. This
Speaker 1: was about Randall, cob Geronimo, Allison, Davante Adams, lots of
Speaker 1: yards after the catch. I thought the you know that
Speaker 1: blitz pick up by Jamal Williams on Danny Trevathan which
Speaker 1: then allowed the throw to Adams where he slips away
Speaker 1: and then is able to run end ended up a
Speaker 1: fifty one yard pass play and all sets up his
Speaker 1: own touchdown later on another great yards after the catch
Speaker 1: play where catches the pass in the red zone, does
Speaker 1: a little start and stop and then as able to
Speaker 1: get to the pylon. Those kinds of things you could
Speaker 1: just you could just sense the momentum was building, the
Speaker 1: things were happening for the Packers, and and these receivers.
Speaker 1: There was the one possession Geronimo Allison what he got
Speaker 1: thrown to three or four times, almost consecutively, three times
Speaker 1: in a row. Yeah, yeah, in that that that one stretch,
Speaker 1: and everybody, everybody that was called on to make a
Speaker 1: play at at one given time or another made a play. Well,
Speaker 1: what was really incredible about it is the three touchdown
Speaker 1: producing drives. Basically all three of those drives belonged to
Speaker 1: one receiver. The first one that was sort of the
Speaker 1: spark was Jeronimo Allison. Geronimo Allison Michael had five catches
Speaker 1: for sixty nine yards in this game. I believe four
Speaker 1: for sixty seven. We're on that drive d including the
Speaker 1: thirty nine yard touchdown pass, which is was that I'm
Speaker 1: amazing throw from Rogers just looked effortless standing in the
Speaker 1: pocket and throws it over Kyle Fuller. Their number one
Speaker 1: being able to to, you know, connect with Geronimo Allison,
Speaker 1: Allison jumping up into that number three role, Packers show
Speaker 1: there's still very much gonna be a three receiver team.
Speaker 1: He'd been on the field for most of the night,
Speaker 1: and then you go to that next series, Davante Adams
Speaker 1: gets a bulk of his five catches for eighty eight
Speaker 1: yards on that including the long catch and run for
Speaker 1: fifty one and then does it kind of again on
Speaker 1: the touchdown pass, basically running that thing in for ten
Speaker 1: yards after the short pass from Rogers. And then what
Speaker 1: do you say about Randall Cobb? And I asked Davante
Speaker 1: Adams about that afterwards. He said, that was vintage Randall Cobb.
Speaker 1: That's the reason why he's here and that's why he
Speaker 1: continues to make plays. Yes, he was. He was kind
Speaker 1: of the guy that was helping move the chains early
Speaker 1: on some eight nine yard passes and then out of
Speaker 1: nowhere like usual, He's right where he needs to be
Speaker 1: at the moment he needs to be there. Rogers puts
Speaker 1: the ball again, just probably the best pack, the passing
Speaker 1: through all night and turn of the pinpoint accuracy of
Speaker 1: it through traffic, and then once that ball arrived, nobody
Speaker 1: behind him and Cob said he'd never seen anything quite
Speaker 1: like it. Yeah, that that was That was one of
Speaker 1: the really special moments in the game. Because we get
Speaker 1: asked a lot of times, you know, what's it like
Speaker 1: watching the game from the press box. You know, how
Speaker 1: how much do you hear the crowd. You know, how
Speaker 1: much does that that, you know, influencer or impact what
Speaker 1: you're how you're processing what you're seeing out there. And
Speaker 1: the moment that Cobb caught that pass and spun around
Speaker 1: and obviously from you know, the bird's eye view, I
Speaker 1: don't know how exactly it looked on television, but from
Speaker 1: the bird's eye view, you could see all this open
Speaker 1: space and there was there was almost like a stunned
Speaker 1: excitement to the roar of the crowd when he took off.
Speaker 1: It wasn't just starting to roar because it was going
Speaker 1: to be a good play. It was like, holy cow, like,
Speaker 1: look at all of that open space. And I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what exactly happened on the Bears defense on that play.
Speaker 1: They've certainly got ill a lot of regrets in terms
Speaker 1: of some of these yards after the catch plays that
Speaker 1: the Packers had. But uh um, but boy, what a moment.
Speaker 1: I mean, Aaron Rodgers takes the field with what was it,
Speaker 1: two thirty nine on the clock, and you're like, okay,
Speaker 1: no time outs, but you got the two minute warning,
Speaker 1: you know, plenty of time for Rogers. Packers are in
Speaker 1: the end zone before the two minute warning. I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody thought that was coming. And you talk so much,
Speaker 1: Mike during the off season program during training camp about
Speaker 1: those important reps that those teams get. I don't think
Speaker 1: there was a better example of it than that second
Speaker 1: half of what all that work means, because all three
Speaker 1: of those receivers said it. I think Mike McCarthy mentioned
Speaker 1: it too. They didn't know that Aaron Rodgers is gonna
Speaker 1: be the quarterback in the second half. Everybody was getting
Speaker 1: ready to rally behind Shaun Kaiser and try to get
Speaker 1: some points on the board. But low and behold like
Speaker 1: everybody else, Rogers emerges from the tunnel. And then that
Speaker 1: was the fun part about this night too, is that
Speaker 1: seeing the crowd come alive when they start to notice
Speaker 1: that twelve is actually out there. Oh and now twelve
Speaker 1: is actually jogging. Uh. That was I mean that that ovation.
Speaker 1: I don't think it was just because it probably wasn't
Speaker 1: as many people in the Bowl at that time coming
Speaker 1: back from you know, whatever you do during halftime, but
Speaker 1: it was basically right there with two thousand fourteen in
Speaker 1: him coming back against Detroit with the calf just incredible,
Speaker 1: and that spark, whether it was offense, defense, he did
Speaker 1: special teams. I think everybody took something from that. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about the defensive
Speaker 1: side and uh and that the role in the comeback.
Speaker 1: But a little sponsored business here first at home or
Speaker 1: here in the stands. We all know that Green Bay
Speaker 1: fans give it their all and that takes a lot
Speaker 1: of energy. So grab a warm bowl of Campbell's Chunky Soup.
Speaker 1: It's meaty goodness fuels the greatness of Packers fans everywhere.
Speaker 1: Try the delicious classic chicken noodle soup. Just visit your
Speaker 1: local supermarket and ask for Campbell's Chunky Soup. Official sup
Speaker 1: partner of the Green Bay Packers. Okay, West defensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball. Bears come out, march right down the field.
Speaker 1: On their first possession, you can tell it's, you know,
Speaker 1: the scripted plays, all that kind of stuff. They're shifting around,
Speaker 1: doing lots of motion, a lot of misdirection and everything.
Speaker 1: They go right down and score a touchdown. But after that,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know there are always some plays that
Speaker 1: you wish, you know, a tackle here there, whatever, But
Speaker 1: I thought the Packers defense played pretty darn well. You know,
Speaker 1: Jordan Howard is no slouch. Of a running back Alan Robinson,
Speaker 1: Taylor Gabriel, this whole new receiving corps for the Bears,
Speaker 1: and Um for the Packers defense to only give up
Speaker 1: three field goals the rest of the way after the
Speaker 1: opening touchdown because the Chicago got seven points on the
Speaker 1: pick six by mac Um. I thought it was I
Speaker 1: thought it was a solid performance. And certainly the back
Speaker 1: to back three and outs in the second half when
Speaker 1: the Packers were mounting the comeback, you know that that
Speaker 1: was getting Chicago's defense right back on the field and
Speaker 1: you could see as the game war on that that
Speaker 1: pass rush was getting tired. They you know, they didn't
Speaker 1: have the energy that they had in the first half
Speaker 1: when when the Packers offense was struggling, and and they
Speaker 1: didn't have to play quite so many snaps. So it
Speaker 1: all the there was this whole evolution to the game
Speaker 1: and Uh and the Packers defense, I give him credit,
Speaker 1: wasn't a perfect outing by any means, but they hung
Speaker 1: tough and Uh and they got the stops when they
Speaker 1: needed to. So basically, there was three things to this
Speaker 1: Packers defense that really struck me. One, the resiliency to
Speaker 1: come back after kind of getting punched in the mouth
Speaker 1: a little bit on the first series, and then you know,
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit the second one too. Bears had
Speaker 1: a hundred forty six total yards at that point. The
Speaker 1: next eight series I wrote about this in our game
Speaker 1: notes afterwards had a hundred forty eight for the rest
Speaker 1: of the game. After that second series, the Packers went
Speaker 1: out of sixth series five times did not allow a
Speaker 1: first down, so either getting three notes or four notes
Speaker 1: in that stretch. Blake Martinez mentioned it they were just
Speaker 1: trying to do a little too much early on, and
Speaker 1: I think you saw it. They opened up here. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing that I think is gonna be the biggest
Speaker 1: indicator for the Packers under Pett and there's going to
Speaker 1: be unpredictability because I'll tell you this, and I think
Speaker 1: this is I think this is a compliment. I couldn't
Speaker 1: make out his packages. So if I can't make out
Speaker 1: his packages looking for on the press box down at
Speaker 1: the field, I don't know how Mitchell Robiski was able
Speaker 1: to take care of it. My hunch is is that
Speaker 1: they basically use Germaine Whitehead as the inside linebacker in
Speaker 1: the nickel next to Blake Martinez. All of the Nitro Nickel.
Speaker 1: But even then, like the dime packages and even some
Speaker 1: of the base concepts, they were using three defensive linemen
Speaker 1: in either of them in addition to two outside linebackers.
Speaker 1: I think you even made a comment once it was
Speaker 1: almost like a five one five front at times. I
Speaker 1: think three three five at times, and they would send everybody.
Speaker 1: You had cornerbacks coming off the week side three at
Speaker 1: a time. I mean, you had guys dropping back in coverage.
Speaker 1: Claim Matthews was dropping back in coverage. But what impressed
Speaker 1: me the most about all that, getting back to what
Speaker 1: the big narrative was all offseason to look more complicated
Speaker 1: than it is. There weren't personnel issues for the Packers.
Speaker 1: You didn't see any substitution, time outs or or penalties
Speaker 1: from two twelve minut on the field. Claim Matthews came
Speaker 1: close on one but got often time to be able
Speaker 1: to end up getting a third down stop. It was
Speaker 1: pretty impressive with all those defensive backs and all those
Speaker 1: moving parts what they were able to do. And I
Speaker 1: think you kind of have to tip your cap to
Speaker 1: Blake Martinez too for being able to control all of
Speaker 1: it on the field. Yeah, Well, we talk a lot
Speaker 1: in this day and age in the NFL, with everything
Speaker 1: so much geared towards offenses. On the defensive side, it
Speaker 1: comes down to when you make your plays, and a
Speaker 1: lot of times it's sometimes it's being able to make
Speaker 1: up for the mistake of a teammate. And last night's
Speaker 1: game was the perfect example of it. Kyle Fuller drops
Speaker 1: the interception on the first play of the Packers game
Speaker 1: winning touchdown drive that basically would have sealed the game.
Speaker 1: I mean the Packers would have had virtually no chance
Speaker 1: after that he drops it. Two plays later, there's a
Speaker 1: huge breakdown and Cobb has a seventy five yard touchdown.
Speaker 1: Then you flip it the other way to the Packers.
Speaker 1: On Chicago's last drive, a huge mistake by Clay Matthews
Speaker 1: roughing the passer on fourth and nine. It looks like
Speaker 1: the game is over, but there's a flag. Matthews gets
Speaker 1: called for at fifteen yards automatic first down puts the
Speaker 1: Bears close to midfield. I don't think they were quite
Speaker 1: all the way to midfield, but close to midfield where
Speaker 1: they are really only twenty yards away. Then at that
Speaker 1: point from a field goal to beat, and the Packers
Speaker 1: defense makes up for the mistake of their teammate. They
Speaker 1: get a four and out, Nick Perry with the sack
Speaker 1: on fourth down that pops the ball loose, Kenny Clark recovers,
Speaker 1: and um, you know it, just these games can hinge
Speaker 1: on such small moments in a sense, but it those
Speaker 1: small moments become big moments because of what happens around them.
Speaker 1: And the Packers were the ones that took advantage of
Speaker 1: those moments with the game on the line. And I'll
Speaker 1: say this too, Mike, for them to be able to
Speaker 1: bounce back from that personal foul, we we hear it
Speaker 1: all the time. I know Dom Capers used to talk
Speaker 1: about it too. If you have a personal foul on
Speaker 1: the drive, I mean basically, there's a three times more
Speaker 1: likely chance that they're going to score on that drive.
Speaker 1: Not only of the Packers not give up any points,
Speaker 1: they didn't give up another yard three more. In completions
Speaker 1: from Mitchell Trobinski, I said, going into this thing, my
Speaker 1: biggest thing I was looking for was going to be
Speaker 1: the coverage units, was going to be what these cornerbacks
Speaker 1: were like. I did not anticipate Josh Jackson becoming the
Speaker 1: first Packers rookie to start a game at cornerback since
Speaker 1: Sam Shield. I didn't anticipate that they were going to
Speaker 1: run as many six defensive backpackages in every situation as
Speaker 1: they did. But now that we've seen it, you're starting
Speaker 1: to get a better understanding for why the Packers put
Speaker 1: so many resources into the back end, why they wanted
Speaker 1: Joe wit Jr. Overseeing that entire unit, because there is
Speaker 1: a lot of synergy now. And just to throw one
Speaker 1: more thing out there, I thought kentroll Bryce probably had
Speaker 1: his best game as a Packer two on the back end,
Speaker 1: made a lot of big plays, made a lot of
Speaker 1: big open field tackles, including that one sack that ended
Speaker 1: up being you know, for the out of bounce. I
Speaker 1: just thought a lot of guys stepped up, particularly in
Speaker 1: those last two and a half quarters. Yeah, well, quickly
Speaker 1: before we go, I just want to get your thoughts
Speaker 1: on the rest of Week one in the NFL. What
Speaker 1: what jumped out to you? I mean, for me that
Speaker 1: that game down in New Orleans with the Tampa Bay
Speaker 1: Buccaneers New Orleans Saints, no one saw that coming in
Speaker 1: the NFC South, Ryan Fitzpatrick foreigner plus yards and four
Speaker 1: touchdowns and the Saints, who I thought were was they.
Speaker 1: I thought they were the best team in the NFL
Speaker 1: in the postseason. Last year. They lose on a fluke
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis. Now suddenly they're trying to figure out what's
Speaker 1: wrong with their defense. Yeah, and you know who's not
Speaker 1: Packers fans. My goodness, I got so many tweets that
Speaker 1: day saying, yeah, who holds the Saints first round draft pick? Again?
Speaker 1: A long way to go, people, But it's gonna be
Speaker 1: funny watching all these Packer fans kind of be you know,
Speaker 1: rail birds the rest of the year with the New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints season. For me, it's it's the Browns. They
Speaker 1: did technically end their losing streak, but they're still looking
Speaker 1: for that win. But and it went viral, But I
Speaker 1: make sure you saw that Cleveland Browns for best best
Speaker 1: start since two thousand four zero zero. Hey, it's it's
Speaker 1: not a loss. So yeah, well, they're still waiting for
Speaker 1: all those refrigerators and the bars to open with all
Speaker 1: the all the beer. I guess that, you know, the
Speaker 1: tie doesn't quite doesn't quite count there. But the Vikings,
Speaker 1: uh Vikings get a big win. Packers are going to
Speaker 1: be playing them at lambau Field next week, the Kirk
Speaker 1: Cousins era starts off right for Minnesota over the forty
Speaker 1: In Minneapolis, it is the Kirk Cousins era, but it's
Speaker 1: still the Minnesota Vikings defense, and they made some big
Speaker 1: plays down the stretch to pull out that victory. And
Speaker 1: it's going to be a really difficult task for the
Speaker 1: Packers this week, no question about it. Yeah, we'll be
Speaker 1: talking about that Vikings defense quite a bit in the
Speaker 1: coming days. With that, we will call it a wrap
Speaker 1: on this edition of Packers Unscripted. Be sure to follow
Speaker 1: all of our coverage of the team on Packers dot
Speaker 1: com on Twitter. He's at west Hot, I'm at Mike
Speaker 1: Spofford at Packers for the team account. Thanks for tuning in, everybody,
Speaker 1: See you next time.
