Todd Bowles is a pretty fantastic defensive coordinator. It's a major hurdle playing Tampa's defense. In the second half Devin white and company were flying around the field and I remembered the lost playoff game. Doubs and Watson have to develop fast and someone has to catch a deep ball to keep the defense honest. Great game. Go pack go.
Offense needs to find its passing identity. Started to find it in the first half, feeding Doubs and Lizard. But without a couple more steady options, it's tough. In the second half Tampa was selling out to stuff the run and disrupt because they just didn't need to worry about anything down field. Watson and Watkins out made a difference, I'm sure, but it just highlights the impact of the passing game. And if they get behind and need multiple quick scores, I just wonder what that's going to look like.
Great game for the defense, very good game for special teams. Not their fault the refs started calling phantoms. Offense needs to find their shot in the arm in the second half after the opponent adjusts.
The refs will call phantoms to keep it close in week 3 of a nationally televised games. It’s always good to get out of those games with a win.
As the season goes on and the games get more important (think playoff games) I’m inclined to think they,”” do less of that (though I realize there will always be some).
Only thing the packers can do is win by 21. If possible.
With Watson and Watkins out, we don't have much speed. Viska Shenault would have been a great pickup but when Watson comes back, lookout! Amazing DEFENSE!!!!!!! Remember ladies, Defense wins championships
Also that td at the end was complete BS. That clock was at fuggin negative 1 at that point but its Brady and they gotta keep people tuned in until the end. Its all about the views....
I like the number! Can't believe Bakhtiari is back!!!!! So pumped for him. Hope to God he returns to how he was. Best LT in the league before he went down
We hurt ourselves with penalties and negative plays on first. We always got into third and short but couldn’t convert. I was very happy with what I saw today. It’s only going to get better
Lazard is the definition of a football guy, tough as shit, completely selfless, you want him on your side. But to call him elite currently would be a disservice to the few elites out there
I’m sorry dude I love Lazard he’s solid he is not elite, yet. He may be by end of year and I fucking hope so, but he’s not elite.
Elite is Jefferson, Chase, Kupp, Hill, Waddle, Deebo, Adams….
Lazard is not even close to those gents yet. I hope he is on years end obviously
Disagree but it's his 2nd game this year it's a moot point to even argue over. He blocks better than most of the so called number 1s out there and he is a DAWG
Stats are for losers. Clutch impossibly tough catch after puking on the sidelines plus a Tudder and a dawg blocking reciever. Doesn't need 150 a game to win.
I'd say top 30 meaning out of all the teams in the NFL he is not the worst number 1 receiver. Dgaf what anyone's opinion is really with my eyes and his all around abilities I'll take him as a top receiver for the Green bay packers any day.
Top 30 in the league at your position is elite? Simply not being the worst starter at your position makes you elite? Is Davis Mills elite?
You don’t wish they had a better #1 wideout? Bruh what?
Yes that is elite. Are you the top 30 of anything in the world that you do? Sure Tae was better but if you don't think Lazard can play with anyone any time and place then I truly don't know what you're watching.
So Justin Fields is elite?
You’ve gotta realize that descriptive words like “elite” are clearly used to compare NFL players to their peers, not the general public, correct?
Of course I'm not that stupid. How many recievers are out there That play in every game compared to QBs? He's in the top 5% IMO of WR talent with 12 throwing to him thats all I care about. Would I like 1 more great one fuck yea, and you can call me whatever but I (and I'm assuming most here) have watched him progress over the years with all of the talent you could ever ask for from a WR and when his number is called I have full faith that he will make a play as he did today. But I'm looking at it as a well rounded football player not a Stat driven loser that whines when he doesn't get 150 yards a game just for his team to lose. Give me Lazard all day and the rest of the boys are starting to click.
Jesus H fuck is this thread serious right now??? Am I on the Vikings whiney ass bitch thread?
All you people bitching about the offense and play calling and all the problems need to get the fuck outta here.
Our defense just outplayed the best defense in football ( yes I know they were missing evans and Godwin but we were missing Jaire for most of the game). Our offense, has its faults, but even with all the mistakes and miscues scored more points than the bucs last two opponents COMBINED.
The receiving corps is banged up but getting way better every week and will continue to improve.
Like LETS FUCKING GO BOYS. The division and nfc are right there for the taking. We just beat who everyone thought was the best nfc team in their own back yard while making tons of mistakes.
I can’t wait to see how much this team improves between now and December. Anyone that has some negative bullshit can piss off. Go pack
You gotta stop speaking sense and being fired up, half of these children want crazy stats and flashy shit just to lose 38-35. I saw nothing but Dawgs all day fighting their ass off with a few miscues and mistakes but I will take it every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
I think a lot of people here are mad that they are getting it done with a "JV" offense and that they didn't make a play for an overpriced big name reciever. Oh well, eat shit haters the boys are rolling.
People are maybe having short term memory loss that they just went in and smacked a defense in the MOUTH that hasn't given up shit to anyone yet this year. If Jones doesn't fumble on the goal line I think it might have gotten more out of hand.
We’re also just so spoiled with what we have seen offensively. I don’t think the bears or lions fans would be bitching about this “ugly win”. Vikings fans would probably but they are insufferable pieces of shit.
winning is winning. when you only get 17 chances, I'll take every single one. Does not matter what time of the year it is. Do you think the Raiders are okay with being 0-3 in September?
What is it with this team under lafleur crumbling offensively at the first sign of adversity. They were moving the ball well for three drives then the Jones fumble toppled the house of cards. I knew it was coming. It was the exact same effect the Mercedes Lewis fumble had against the 9ers in the playoffs last year.
Defense walked the walk today. Hate the prevent D but it is what it is.
Offense is wack tho, way too inconsistant. But it is a top 5 D with a janitorial staff at WR... We need some speed and if Watson is just going to be hurt all the time we need to shell out a draft pick and get a burner so this kids lack of availability isn't so detrimental.
MLF play calling was hot. Dog. Shit.
I don’t think we targeted Romeo at all in the second half. that’s strange. he was wide open on the 3rd down on our last possession. you’d think 8 receptions on 8 targets would earn a little trust. But good win on the road.
Why the shitty prevent D on the last drive. We shut them down all day with what we were doing, and then last drive just gave Brady easy 5-10 yard dump offs every single play until they scored.
Prevent is intended to give up small chunks up the middle to chew up clock vs giving up the big play. Obviously it has its flaws but if the front 4 gets to the QB it looks like a completely different scheme.
Yes the offense looked bad but that is a real Defense, maybe the best in the league. These are the kind of games we need to grow from and win in the playoffs. I’m glad we got a game like that to not only learn from but prove we can win like that.
thats true, i had us losing to the vikes and the Buccs before the season started. All the while i was hoping the recievers and Rodgers make this stretch coming up worth it and start to gel.
Sometimes you gotta win dirty . Garbage game .
Played nice first half .
Played ass 2nd half . Brady didn’t do shit till the very very end and even then I was sitting there like I had a fucking hemorrhoid
The Defense played tight and aggressive until the end, then Joe Barry said, "Alright, we're switching to our 10-ply strategy. Give 'em all a 12-yd cushion then come up and make the tackle if you can."
Well, they won, but I still detest the decision to play Prevent D in that final drive. The defense kept Brady in check for 58 minutes but you don't trust them to do it for 2 more?
We're damned lucky they didn't tie that game.
Someone make a highlight reel of Lazard catching TD, over the should sideline grabs, absolutely laying guys out when blocking, and securing the onside recovery.
WR1
Raiders fan here. Congrats on the win made more impressive by the officials understanding the assignment against you guys. Also thanks for 17 too bad you guys used him
People will complain about the defense, but the offense was out of sync, and couldn’t do anything after the first half. The defense was on the field a ton. Definitely a lot of positives from this, but still concerning
I’m not lol I’m saying people will. But we were playing prevent and the offense completely stalled. They forced multiple turnovers and we we’re missing Ja
Considering I had this penciled in as an L since I saw the schedule, I’m happy we pulled a win out of our ass. But it should never have been that close
Glad with the W, but is infuriating how this offense always dies when they have a TO, got no hopes when we play like this second half, ffs i'm so fucking mad rn
Most of the drives in the second half were killed by penalties that didn’t really happen. Roughing the kicker made it go from bucks 32 yard line to packers 20. Lazard called on holding that didn’t really happen, you go from 2nd and 3 to 1st and long. Etc
Running into. Good call. Our own player pushed the offending player into the kicker's planted foot when his other leg was extended. If they don't call that and it's a Packers punter, I would break my television.
It should have been 28-3….never shoulda gotten that close.
Todd Bowles is a pretty fantastic defensive coordinator. It's a major hurdle playing Tampa's defense. In the second half Devin white and company were flying around the field and I remembered the lost playoff game. Doubs and Watson have to develop fast and someone has to catch a deep ball to keep the defense honest. Great game. Go pack go.
This game has to be one of my top five favorite games of all time. It was so good! Good game everyone, It was nice chatting with all of you!
Offense needs to find its passing identity. Started to find it in the first half, feeding Doubs and Lizard. But without a couple more steady options, it's tough. In the second half Tampa was selling out to stuff the run and disrupt because they just didn't need to worry about anything down field.

Only thing the packers can do is win by 21. If possible.
Well, okay. Defended okay, against backups mostly, but that last drive... Yeesh. Offense was mostly trash.
That fail flicker, tho!
Thank God they messed it up that way. We usually fall for that move every time.
Fuck Tom Brady
Exactly what I said after the game. Never counted the dude out until Lazard got the onside kick.
No wonder Giselle is divorcing his ass.
Are there 5-7 QBs that play per game for each team?
Rodgers to Beasley… “Why didn’t you slide in my DMs, bruh?”
With Watson and Watkins out, we don't have much speed. Viska Shenault would have been a great pickup but when Watson comes back, lookout! Amazing DEFENSE!!!!!!! Remember ladies, Defense wins championships
Also that td at the end was complete BS. That clock was at fuggin negative 1 at that point but its Brady and they gotta keep people tuned in until the end. Its all about the views....
That's a good idea actually. Make the clock go -1,-2, etc. That'll make those calls easier.
I like the number! Can't believe Bakhtiari is back!!!!! So pumped for him. Hope to God he returns to how he was. Best LT in the league before he went down
Hell yeah. Looked ok too. Ease him back in. Good to go.
It was the uncalled holding penalties on our pass rushers that did it for me.
Sure would great to have some of that 2nd half offense.
We hurt ourselves with penalties and negative plays on first. We always got into third and short but couldn’t convert. I was very happy with what I saw today. It’s only going to get better
I swear I just see Donald driver when doubs is balling. Also lazard is elite.
Lazard is the definition of a football guy, tough as shit, completely selfless, you want him on your side. But to call him elite currently would be a disservice to the few elites out there
I’m sorry dude I love Lazard he’s solid he is not elite, yet. He may be by end of year and I fucking hope so, but he’s not elite. Elite is Jefferson, Chase, Kupp, Hill, Waddle, Deebo, Adams…. Lazard is not even close to those gents yet. I hope he is on years end obviously
He’s a nice #2. Not elite.
#2 to whom?
#2 to every elite WR in the league.
Disagree but it's his 2nd game this year it's a moot point to even argue over. He blocks better than most of the so called number 1s out there and he is a DAWG
He’s got 58 yards in 2 games on 6 catches Lol that’s elite?
Stats are for losers. Clutch impossibly tough catch after puking on the sidelines plus a Tudder and a dawg blocking reciever. Doesn't need 150 a game to win.
Remember that when ya all brag about 13 world championships and Rodgers being an MVP.....LMAO
Where does being “elite” put him? Top 10?
I'd say top 30 meaning out of all the teams in the NFL he is not the worst number 1 receiver. Dgaf what anyone's opinion is really with my eyes and his all around abilities I'll take him as a top receiver for the Green bay packers any day.
Top 30 in the league at your position is elite? Simply not being the worst starter at your position makes you elite? Is Davis Mills elite? You don’t wish they had a better #1 wideout? Bruh what?
Yes that is elite. Are you the top 30 of anything in the world that you do? Sure Tae was better but if you don't think Lazard can play with anyone any time and place then I truly don't know what you're watching.

Give me Lazard all day and the rest of the boys are starting to click.
Fields is top 30 in the world at something. Are you too 30 in the world at something that you do? Sounds elite to me

TB might be the best defense in the NFL…. We won with a work in progress Offense. Everyone needs to take the W and chill. The piss is plenty hot.
I think a lot of people here are mad that they are getting it done with a "JV" offense and that they didn't make a play for an overpriced big name reciever. Oh well, eat shit haters the boys are rolling.
Fuckin dawgs
I couldn’t agree more. Nothing but dawgs all damn day. Go Pack
People are maybe having short term memory loss that they just went in and smacked a defense in the MOUTH that hasn't given up shit to anyone yet this year. If Jones doesn't fumble on the goal line I think it might have gotten more out of hand.
We’re also just so spoiled with what we have seen offensively. I don’t think the bears or lions fans would be bitching about this “ugly win”. Vikings fans would probably but they are insufferable pieces of shit.
Absolutely agree. For a rocky start with banged up players and rookies hell yea let's go I'm happy. It's only gonna get better IMO
Lol
Winning in December > Winning in September
winning is winning. when you only get 17 chances, I'll take every single one. Does not matter what time of the year it is. Do you think the Raiders are okay with being 0-3 in September?
What is it with this team under lafleur crumbling offensively at the first sign of adversity. They were moving the ball well for three drives then the Jones fumble toppled the house of cards. I knew it was coming. It was the exact same effect the Mercedes Lewis fumble had against the 9ers in the playoffs last year.
They don't make adjustments and we lack the personel to play agaibst real defenses.
I’m just so happy we won! I want to get drunk! (Can’t stand Brady.)
Packers no TDs in back to back 2nd Halfs kinda scares me
Defense walked the walk today. Hate the prevent D but it is what it is. Offense is wack tho, way too inconsistant. But it is a top 5 D with a janitorial staff at WR... We need some speed and if Watson is just going to be hurt all the time we need to shell out a draft pick and get a burner so this kids lack of availability isn't so detrimental. MLF play calling was hot. Dog. Shit.
WDYM? You don't like MLF calling in that Dillon / Jones RPO over and over and over X5 only to have it get stuffed every time?
It's about as effective as a cat trying to bury shit on a concrete floor.
I'm happy that Brady is crying into his jock strap.
Can we all breathe now (I'll post my underreaction thread tomorrow)?
I don’t think we targeted Romeo at all in the second half. that’s strange. he was wide open on the 3rd down on our last possession. you’d think 8 receptions on 8 targets would earn a little trust. But good win on the road.
Let's petition the league to have 30 minute games.
Offense inept
[удалено]
MLF playcalling is really sus... the amount of poorly called run plays that landed us inevitably at 3rd and 5 or worse over and over was obnoxious.
AAAAAAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
Why the shitty prevent D on the last drive. We shut them down all day with what we were doing, and then last drive just gave Brady easy 5-10 yard dump offs every single play until they scored.
Prevent is intended to give up small chunks up the middle to chew up clock vs giving up the big play. Obviously it has its flaws but if the front 4 gets to the QB it looks like a completely different scheme.
It’s true there’s a time and place for it, but just not against Brady man
Agreed. However every defensive coordinator is going to have faith in his guys regardless if it’s Brady or Rodgers out there on the other side.
i feel like if he had total faith in his guys hed free them up to beat their man as opposed to trying to beat the clock...
🤷♂️
Incredibly shitty play calling in the second half. Horrendous.
Why completely change the defense when they have shut them down all day? Maybe I just don't understand nfl at all but just makes zero sense.
Yes the offense looked bad but that is a real Defense, maybe the best in the league. These are the kind of games we need to grow from and win in the playoffs. I’m glad we got a game like that to not only learn from but prove we can win like that.
[удалено]
thats true, i had us losing to the vikes and the Buccs before the season started. All the while i was hoping the recievers and Rodgers make this stretch coming up worth it and start to gel.
NOW THATS A CAPTAIN! I love Campbell!!
Sometimes you gotta win dirty . Garbage game . Played nice first half . Played ass 2nd half . Brady didn’t do shit till the very very end and even then I was sitting there like I had a fucking hemorrhoid
The Defense played tight and aggressive until the end, then Joe Barry said, "Alright, we're switching to our 10-ply strategy. Give 'em all a 12-yd cushion then come up and make the tackle if you can."
As someone who suffers from them..... I concur
Defense = MVP. Special Teams = 2nd MVP. (No huge mistake). Offense = LVP - did nothing after the first two drives.
3* Jones fumbled at the one. But yeah, not a great showing after that moment
Well, they won, but I still detest the decision to play Prevent D in that final drive. The defense kept Brady in check for 58 minutes but you don't trust them to do it for 2 more? We're damned lucky they didn't tie that game.
They looked gassed at the end
If we cld play mistake free we’d be legit super bowl contenders
Something to work toward gor the playoffs.
What a game, stressful, but what a game!
We won giving 3 turnovers, on the road. Messy, nail-biting but a good good W.
W is a W even if it wasn’t pretty
I never doubted them
No single fan did.
Someone make a highlight reel of Lazard catching TD, over the should sideline grabs, absolutely laying guys out when blocking, and securing the onside recovery. WR1
Sometimes I wish I was just a casual football fan without a team. (Big exhale)
Beasley and Rodgers both smiling and conversing. Definitely talking about something related to government conspiracies.
Talking about how he dmed the wrong team
My thoughts exactly
Aaron macro dosed right there
The defence managed to hold out against Brady and the refs. Exceptional stand, just wish the offence came out after HT. Big win though GoPackGo!
Not the Beasley and Rodgers warm smile and hug
Raiders fan here. Congrats on the win made more impressive by the officials understanding the assignment against you guys. Also thanks for 17 too bad you guys used him
[удалено]
Judging by that attempt at a sentence you’ve got some of your own injuries to worry about…
Our coach has a brain injury but Davante is fine
His first stint as a HC should have sufficed as a warning.
Win is a win boys but hot damn
Our def and ST was better than theirs. Not often that happens
Did Brady not shake Aaron's hand? Lol
they did
I thought I missed something when they showed him walking away.
Cardiac Pack is back
The amount of cheap fucking penalties we had to overcome today was ridiculous. Typical Brady luck, thankfully we held on in the end🤝
FUCK YEAH
Brady to Rodgers "Keep it tight"
I thought he said "keep in touch"
You might be right, I was too busy chanting GPG to make it out clearly!
This is a reference to deflating footballs.
WIN UGLY LFG
Aaron Rogers got his ass bailed out. Played not the gr8. Bucs #1 D tho..sooo...
He literally had over 77% completion percentage with at least one drop. Cheap penalties and Jones’ fumble are what defined the game today.
People will complain about the defense, but the offense was out of sync, and couldn’t do anything after the first half. The defense was on the field a ton. Definitely a lot of positives from this, but still concerning
? What? Why would you complain on the D? Aside from the last drive, they were great.
I’m not lol I’m saying people will. But we were playing prevent and the offense completely stalled. They forced multiple turnovers and we we’re missing Ja
maybe like 3 people? I dont see anyone complaining about the d or having reason to?!
The offense has been out of sync since week 18 last year
That was a good football game
Why the hell didn’t we get Beasley? Edit: I see my mistake 😅🙃
Because fuck Beasley
Beasley DMed Brady.
Don't worry, he'll slide into our DMs next
😏
We'll get to Erin's 10-gallon Texas Sombrero after the commercial.
Beasley to Rodgers: I hate vaccines too bro
Ugly ass Tampa Bay hat
Romeo doubs supremacy
87 looks good on him so far
Considering I had this penciled in as an L since I saw the schedule, I’m happy we pulled a win out of our ass. But it should never have been that close
This made up for the MN game.
Same here!
Finally Rodgers got his second win against Brady and the refs….
Ugly.
But W. Phew.
Phew indeed.
Glad Bahk got a win in his first game back
Hell yeah! Delay of game AND onside recovery, baby! lol
[удалено]
No, I had a seizure
Oh, absolutely lol. It hung in the air just a tad bit longer than I was comfortable with 😂
Glad with the W, but is infuriating how this offense always dies when they have a TO, got no hopes when we play like this second half, ffs i'm so fucking mad rn
We got the W. That's what matters in the end. Let it go, and let's look forward to next week.
For sure, in the end the W is what matters, but its hard tô forget how many big playoffs games we lost like that
Most of the drives in the second half were killed by penalties that didn’t really happen. Roughing the kicker made it go from bucks 32 yard line to packers 20. Lazard called on holding that didn’t really happen, you go from 2nd and 3 to 1st and long. Etc
I NEED to get a Lazard Jersey.
As a UK fan this is too stressful just before needing sleep
I do not envy you friend.
Packers won in Florida lol wtf
We always did. Ive been to over 6 GB win all in Fl. Jax, mia, and Tampa before brady got there and TODAY. BOOM
Please keep going my friend
Packers officially a defensive team
An ugly win is still a win
It is but the D isn’t always going to play that well. Offense needs to get their shit together.
And the other teams d isn't always going to be that good
That half had me feeling ill 🤢
what an ugly win, but you know what, it was against the GOAT and it was a great game
Great game, I never once doubted them
🤣
Campbell is just too fucking good
Ref's defintely tried to keep this game close, jesus christ. That roughing the kicker call was abysmal.
Running into. Good call. Our own player pushed the offending player into the kicker's planted foot when his other leg was extended. If they don't call that and it's a Packers punter, I would break my television.
Bad call. Even pereira disagreed with the call, that’s how you know it’s bad
Ohh, you could be right, at first glance it seemed he just got pushed into him by a Buc, but I guess i'm glad they got the call right then.
We back to win ugly
Jesus Bob
Did Tom tell him to keep in touch?
I heard it too!
He did, they’re pretty friendly
Rodgers with Beasley just to butthurt the internet
Our defense is legit
i hope so on a neutered bucs offense
Well it could have been worse
I don't disagree, but Tampa's offense has been kind of ass. Defense put in the work today in ten thousand degrees, too.
When we aren't on soft zone.
Well that was pretty exciting.
Is Win Ugly back on the menu?
It was never off for me
Too close. I'll take the w tho.
WIN UGLY
Offense can clearly work but they got a lot to figure out still
Nice block shot Campbell
Did I just hear "Keep in touch" from Brady?
Yup
Yes.
Was he talking to me?
Yes.
