From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
I agree that our 3rd quarter needs to be improved. That is where MN and IND got us.
100%
Something coming out of the locker room at the half has been a little janky. Not sure if it's playcalls or execution or Rodgers' mindset or what. But it seems to trip us up from time to time.
those Smith boys, P and Z should have stuck to cough drops, they been hacking it up all year
Yeah, 3rd in the league in sacks is awful. What a bum.
it was a joke, even so neither Smith played well early, I actually think Z has played much better lately even on a sore ankle, I'd move on from Prestine, use the money on a real lber

Oh I totally agree, I think there’s a small percentage Preston is on our roster in 2021 with the cap savings. Will be sad kind of, I like him but unless he explodes over the next 6 weeks and is absolutely dominant.

Z still impacting games
Edge rusher Za'Darius Smith hasn't been as consistently productive, possibly due to a lingering ankle injury, but he's still impacting games. In fact, Smith is one of only two players with at least 10 sacks, 20 quarterback hits and three forced fumbles in 2020. The other player? Aaron Donald. Smith ranks tied for third in sacks (10.5), tied for sixth in quarterback hits (21) and tied for fifth in forced fumbles (3). He's not going to hit 100 pressures again – he's at just 40 in 12 games – but he has at least one sack in eight of 12 games. The volume is down. But Smith is still producing at a high level.
am I spoiled with Z's last season performance of 7 pressures a game, obviously I'am I hope he continues on that pace the rest of the season, tough though on a gimpy ankle.

These were also the two games that the offense (and ST) didn't do it's part in the 2nd Half and gave the other team short fields via turnovers or failed conversions.
Against MN - first three 2nd-half possessions
Downs - 2:02 TOP
Punt - 6:03
(4th Q) Downs - 2:51
Against INDY - first four 2nd-half possessions
Punt - 1:47 TOP
Punt - 1:51
(4th Q) Fumble - 0:00
(4th Q) Downs - 5:50

Yeah you could make an argument all of our losses were primarily due to our offense sh*tting the bed. They just completely screwed our defense over in Q2 of TB, Q3 of MN and Indy.
Of course there is also the argument that our defense should not have allowed TD's those quarter. 2 TDs allowed on 3rd down in TB in Q2. 2 TDs allowed on 3rd/4th down conversions at Indy and I don't know the specifics of MN.

Yep, we were hoping for some real fans, but remain hopeful that fans will be allowed for the playoff games. I mean, I'm really thankful to be able to work the games and be at Lambeau in person these past two games and the rest of the regular season, but the game lacks a lot, obviously, with only about 500 people in the stands. Fingers crossed for the playoffs.
Earlier this fall, my wife and I decided to head to Florida in mid-January (we're retired from our "real" jobs) since it was looking like there would be no fans in the stands and thus no reason for me to be working there on game days. Now we've pushed our Florida sojourn back to after the NFC Championship game since we are feeling hopeful that Lambeau will host the game and I'll be able to work. Fingers crossed for that too.
The Packers lunatic fringe is more visible because of sheer numbers. The Packers have one of the largest fan bases in all of sports. If the fringe percentage is the same as with other teams, then we end up with larger volumes of nut jobs. - JustJeff
