Let’s hope the packers didn’t provide a blueprint for other teams to beat Flores’ defense. That was ugly when you consider the two missed FGs and a turnover on downs. Way too easy at times for the hobbled Love

Love made a couple of nice throws, but more than a couple of the deep passes seemed be blown coverage, at least twice by Murphy. Seemed more like brain farts than a hole in the system, but I'm no expert.

The defense is good but they'll have to adapt, like all units. But the turnovers weren't freak accidents, the defense earned them. And a lot of Love's yardage came in the 4th quarter when we seemed to be in a prevent type defense.

I don't expect this defense to be the Ray Lewis Ravens so they were going to give up more than 10 pts/game and get 5 sacks a game but they'll be a top 10, probably top 5, unit all season. Pace will be back and hopefully Turner gets moving a bit more. He was mostly invisible today. They've probably faced the best collection of QBs of any defense this season already and have looked pretty good.

KOC and Flores vs. Saleh and Hackett is a complete mismatch. Darnold needs to not have dumb turnovers next week.

I am totally comfortable with how the game finished.

That first half, Green Bay can chalk up to them embarrassing themselves, not us rubbing their noses in it.

And their freebee touchdown at the end of the half made up for two missed field goals.

The rematch in Minnesota will still be a circled game on everyone's calendar, but it won't be quite the "hallo, my name is Inego Montoya" moment it might have been if the second half were just more of the same.
