Jeremy, Andy, and Elliot break down the Packers' 2020 Regular Season along with comparing how our predictions panned out! Super Nerdy! We also discuss some of the "Super Wildcard" games, and then we preview a bit of our thoughts on the first Playoff Game vs. the LA Rams! Predictions: Andy: 27 - 21     Jeremy: 27 - 17 Elliot: 33 - 20
Not much else to say here.  There are two empirical facts: The Bears still suck. The Packers secured the Number 1 overall seed in the NFC which means the road to the Superbowl goes through Lambeau Field.
In this game we finally got to see some extended playing time for 2nd round draft pick, running back AJ Dillon and he certainly did not disappoint. This was the most complete game the Packers have played this season and might be the most complete game played under Matt Lefleur. OFFENSE: It's almost hard to believe that Aaron Rodgers would be an afterthought when he threw for 4 touchdowns, but the emergence of rookie running back AJ Dillon should scare the bejesus out of opposing defenses. Starting center Corey Linsley came back from a 3-week absence from injury and played outstanding. You know it's going well when your right tackle (Ricky Wagner) left the game due to injury and the offense didn't miss a beat. Davante Adams is in cheat code right now - it's hard to find any more superlatives for his level of play. He had 3 touchdowns in this game and now has 17(!) touchdowns on the season.  It is very possible that he could not only tie but break Sterling's Sharpe's Packers single-season record of 18 touchdowns from 1994. Hell, even ESB got in on the fun catching his first TD of the season. Aaron Rodgers did have a head-scratching, Brett Favre like INT in the 2nd half - throwing late across the middle of the field for an easy pick by the Titans secondary. Aaron Jones got the nod on the first offensive series and did well, but on the 2nd series AJ Dillon was unleashed and his coming out party began. Let's be honest, Dillon probably doesn't play much at all in this game if not for the injury to Jamal Williams. AJ Dillon had 21 carries for 124 yards in his first meaningful snaps of the season.  He was a big bruiser as advertised, and he even looked good catching a screen pass later in the game.  He also scored his first TD of the season on a 4th and 1 play late in the game. DEFENSE: This was the best defensive performance of the year for the Packers collectively.  The front 7 played great and held the best RB in the league to UNDER 100 yards - that in and of itself was very impressive. Rashan Gary played the best game of his young career.  Hell, even Preston Smith got in on the action and made some plays. Jaire Alexander is an all-pro right now - he may be the best CB in the league. Darnell Savage had an INT, a great delayed blitz, and almost had another INT late in the game.  He is playing fantastic, and Amos is not far behind. The biggest gaffe of the game was the entire defense getting caught on a fake hand-off to Derek Henry that allowed Titan's QB Ryan Tannehill to go 45 yards for a rushing TD. SPECIAL TEAMS: Mason Crosby had a very odd game - he missed his 4th extra point of the season (although the conditions were pretty poor with snow and wind).  He also had a late field goal blocked, which was his first "miss" of the season. The rest of special teams was good enough. PREDICTIONS Andy 24-17 PACKERS Jeremy 33-24 PACKERS Elliot 39-7 PACKERS
The Packers dominated the first half on offense and defense getting out to a 21-3 lead, only to see the offense completely self-destruct in the 2nd half leading to 5 straight punts and 5 sacks.  The defense ended up sort of holding it's own to help preserve the win. Mason Crosby contributed a clutch 51-yard field goal in the 2nd half to help put the game away. OFFENSE: Aaron Rodgers and Co. first 3 drives: 197 yards, 21 points. The stats ended up very odd though based on this, Rodgers only passed for a little over 100 yards on the entire night, due mostly to the 5 straight punts in the 2nd half. Aaron Jones was stellar in the 1st half, amassing almost 80 yards in the 1st quarter alone. Davante Adams had a very ho-hum game and even had a couple of drops.  He was basically taken away in the 2nd half entirely Unfortunately, nobody else stepped up once Carolina started keying on Adams.  Allan Lazard had a terrible drop on a great, tight sideline throw by Rodgers on a key 3rd down in the 2nd half. Jamal Williams got hurt in the 1st half and didn't return - it ended up looming large as the offense basically stalled right after he got hurt. The offensive line was a sieve in the 2nd half - they surrendered 5 sacks in the 2nd half alone.  For context, Rodgers had been sacked a combined 3 times in the prior 4 games total. Lucas Patrick had the worst game of his career. Even David Bhaktiari got whooped a few times. DEFENSE: The defense allowed Carolina to get a field goal on the opening possession - they seem to allow every team to score points on their first drive in every game. Krys Barnes could be their best ILB right now - he had a great game until he got hurt.  He forced a huge fumble on a goal-line stand that Kevin King picked up and returned to midfield. Kevin King was picked on in this game and he had some horrific tackling attempts.  He did scoop up the forced fumble caused by Krys Barnes. Rashan Gary continues to flash here and there, but he also got banged up again in this game. Adrian Amos had a fantastic game - he has really come on in the past few weeks.  I think he had 3-4 passes defended and he had a couple of great tackles for little to no gain. SPECIAL TEAMS: Mason Crosby is still perfect on the year - he drilled a clutch 51-yard field goal in the 2nd half that was outstanding. The rest of our special teams was a bit better, but that's not saying much because the unit as a whole is terrible. Oren Burks missed badly on a block that almost allowed for a blocked punt of JK Scott near the Packers' own goal line. OTHER: We learned that former OLB coach Kevin Greene unexpectedly passed away today at 58 years old. He was huge in the development of Clay Matthews III and won a Superbowl in 2010 with Mike McCarthy and his coaching staff. PREDICTIONS Andy 27-24 Packers Jeremy 23-24 Titans Elliot 31-21 Packers
