the defensive front. Rashan got the stats, but the entire line was an absolute menace the whole game. I’m pretty sure Preston’s forced incompletion was also a sack-fumble, Kenny was throwing dude’s around. Karl Brooks made some impact plays and tackles, and most importantly, even when players weren’t making splashes it didn’t feel like there were any liabilities. Solid, and the best version of what we hoped this unit could be at the start of the year.

The defensive backfield. Literally not a single day-1 starter in the game and yet they managed to hold their own against an explosive team. The defensive front did what we’d expect from them, but this unit went absolutely above and beyond what anybody could have expected.

Love - throwing darts out there, piling up stats, and even still there’s room to grow and improve. Some people will nitpick a play here, or a play there and see negatives, I just see room to grow and improve. Can’t wait to see his final form!

Pass catchers. Again, a unit decimated by injuries. And yet, they didn’t flinch and made some absolute incredible plays. Watson played how we hoped he would this whole time, Reed continued to do his thing, and Heath stepped up big time for his opportunity. Amazing.

Running backs: Often maligned unit, but you know what, they showed some grit today. Dillon ripped off a few good runs when it was blocked in front of him, and pushed some piles for a couple 1st downs. Also really enjoyed his little hop bump on his big reception. He was fun to watch with the ball in his hands.

O-Line: An altogether better performance across the board. Still some work to do, but they did their part, and for that I’m thankful.

Coaching: Say what you want about Barry, but this was a fantastic performance by his unit. MLF got his guys ready to play on a short week, against a division opponent in their house on national television. And to top it all off he’s handsome as hell. They keep this up they’re not going anywhere, and that’s not something we should complain about.

the FO. Thank you for your foresight and giving us a future we can look forward to after closing the door on the last era of Packers football. This is still a re-build, evaluation year, and despite the salary cap troubles leaving our cupboards a bit bare, they’ve managed to whip up quite the Thanksgiving meal, and it’s built off the back of possibly one of the best overall draft classes we’ve had in decades.

the haters. the doom and gloom can be annoying at times, but your salt is a key ingredient in our Thanksgiving feast chef’s kiss
