The game doesn't look like that with a 100% Aaron Donald. Everything on defense starts with him. Everything. My eye test says that he was at about 50-60% effectiveness yesterday.

I'm not saying we win with healthy AD but we were never going to win without a healthy AD. This seems lost on many reactions i'm seeing. The overreaction to GB scoring at will on our D is kind of ridiculous to be honest.

T.Hill had an awful game. Our secondary got exposed but not because all of a sudden after 17 games they suck...it's because AD was barely fit to play football and as a result the Dline became very average. The Rams went in with the same plan though, rush four. That may have been a mistake. Idk.

Not mad either. I'm disappointed that AD got hurt in Seattle and
we were facing a HOF QB without the best defensive player in the league.

Good season. Arrow is still pointing upwards. We found our next stud RB. On to '21.

I disagree. Young and Reeder were awful tonight. Hope their thumbs are ok, they can hitchhike with their efforts.

Reeder was bad because he didn't single handed stop a goal line run?

Or Reeder was bad because he caused a forced fumble and Rodgers recovered it and got 3 yards on the play?

Please clarify.

We needed everything to be right to win today.

Aaron Donald wasn’t right.
Kupp wasn’t available.

The Rams dropped 2 INTs that would have saved 3, and got a bad bounce on the one fumble they forced, preventing a huge turnover.

But the team kept fighting until the end.

Goff played a good game despite a bad thumb and poor protection.
Cam Akers looks like future star.
There’s a lot to be proud of, and reason for hope for the future.

Disappointed, but proud of our Rams.
Edwards was missing, too...that didn’t help either.

But Akers found holes and was a positive. Van Jefferson played a pretty good game.

Good game for the most part. We just weren't healthy enough to compete. Not saying it would have changed the outcome but I have to believe that it would have been a little more competitive
And yet, they were competitive and I give them credit as I think you are.

Im not really mad either TBH. The Packers are truly a Super Bowl type squad while we have holes and issues in certain areas. I hope they win it all because Aaron Rodgers has been elite for a long time and he has my respect no doubt.

Hopefully the dumb narrative about Goff goes away now, he was excellent tonight.

If Donald and Kupp had been ready to go full it could have been a different story tonight but it's been a good season overall despite a few low points. We are a good team with a lot to look forward too for next year.
Aaron Rodgers was excellent. Goff was pretty good. Kudos to Jared for keeping us in the game.

Missed tackles, wrong angles, wrong gaps, lack of effort... You could see even in Q2 he was frustrated with himself and it showed. Not his best game

I don't know. I didn't see it like that. He's consistently outperformed expectations. Maybe the issue is with our expectations.

Keep in mind he was a UDFA.
