Rapid Reaction: Green Bay Packers

What it means: Another 1-2 start turned into another bounce-back victory that, at least for the moment, should bring a sense of calm to the team. It was the third straight season the Packers followed a 1-2 start with a victory. Perhaps it was simply of product of playing the Bears' shaky defense, but quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the offense could not be stopped. On their first six possessions, they recorded five touchdowns and a field goal. Tim Masthay never punted, and the only time they did not score was when Mason Crosby had a field goal blocked in the fourth quarter.

Still concerned about both run D and run O.

Lacy had nowhere to go, imo. It would have been interesting to see Starks, because sometimes it seems to me that these teams are keying on Lacy.

But this was the 26th run defense in the league. And we got jack shit against them.

🇦🇷 isn't motivated. I wish he wouldn't have won that MVP award a few years back.

Concerns about running game -- on both sides of the ball -- are perfectly valid.

I will say though that it seemed like both offenses took what the defense gave 'em. The Bears had no pass rush all day and guys were finding soft spots. On the flip side the Bears were spreading things out with 3 wide and running from shotgun a good amount of the time.

Not an excuse for the Packer D. That was ugly at times. But this had the feeling, immediately, that the winner would probably be the team with the turnovers. Credit to Tramon and Matthews for the first pick. And credit to Jay Cutler and Brandon Marhsall on the second pick.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Man I wish that TD to Davante didn't get called back. That's one of the best throws I've ever seen a QB make.

I'm just happy to see Rodgers quiet the haters. It was good to see him extend plays both inside and outside the pocket, while also spreading the ball around.

Also good to see our defense getting multiple turnovers in consecutive games. If we can't stop offenses on downs, might as well stop em with turnovers.

Points will always be more important than yards -- though obviously limiting the yards would be a good sign.

Also, how about a shoutout to Mr. Cobb. He had a bad drop in the endzone, but came away with 7 catches for 113 yards and 2 TDs. After "embarrassing" performance last week, he definitely bounced back. And showed, again, that Rodgers will look his way after initial play breaks down.
