I hope we continue to blitz for the rest of the season

I love the pressure we put on Cousins last night and Sean Lee, man what a player.
we have to cut down on the turnovers and start getting some as well.
I know this season has not gone the way we all expected, but i appreciate the effort the Boy's are showing, makes me even more proud of them!!!

It sure was great to see.
But Rodgers may kill us on the blitzes next week. Even without Nelson. Rodgers has a quick release, and can move better.
But the key is pressure as usual. This time we do have a better pass rush to get to him.

Even though Rodgers is good at getting rid of the ball, we still need to blitz.

I agree with the need to blitz. However, Rogers has been sacked 29 times this season. His line is vulnerable. Plus, he would rather take a sack than throw a dangerous pass.

Not so much just blitzing. But being creative with how you rush the passer. The stunts and twists along with the blitzes really helped the DL break through. GB's OL is dealing with injuries and has been struggling.

Just remember, live by the blitz, die by the blitz. I like the blitzing, but only so much of it. We need to keep offenses off balance to what we're doing if it is to be successful.

The Lions blitzed him like crazy in Green Bay, worked out well for them.

They have no choice but to be aggressive, Rodgers will kill you if you give him time.

Blitz like mad and jam receivers at the line and we will be okay. The only thing I fear are their screens. I think they are one of the best screening teams in the league. In all the Green Bay losses teams blitzed and made Rogers very uncomfortable in the pocket he looked ordinary.

Rodgers and Cousins are two different animals. I like blitzing but I'm not sure doing it as often as last night is a good idea against Rodgers.

Cousins is relatively inexperienced in dealing with blitzes, especially with such limited experience in his young career. It's certainly questionable whether or not Marinelli is likely to feel quite as comfortable doing so with more experienced QBs being in charge of our coming opponents. It should prove interesting to see what he does about that in the weeks ahead.

They are pretty banged up, atleast they were against the Lions. I think they had three starters out for that game, including Bulaga but I could be wrong on the number of guys out. It might have only been two.

Playing the Thursday game will give them more time off to get more healthy going into our game Sunday.

Regardless of that. We need to hit Rodgers. If we play back in zone he'll carve us up, no doubt.

Play to win. Offensively and defensively.


We've played scared to death all season with our backup QB's and loss after loss after loss was the result.

Not 1 time until last night did they decide to attack on 1 side of the ball.

This rinse and repeat mentality for years has been miserable to watch as a fan.

Need to pressure Rodgers but he can burn them if they blitz! Gotta blitz wisely!

Keep blitzing but maybe not show it so early like they did against Cousins. Rodgers can kill you if he sees it coming. It helped too that the Commanders weren't prepared because it is abnormal for them to blitz that often. You can believe that Green Bay wont be caught off guard.

having 31 back deep is a little more comforting when dialing up blitzes, that's for sure.

Something's not right with Rodgers this year. It'll be interesting to see how effectively we might blitz him. Normally, it'd be crazy to do, but I think we'll test him and see how effective he'll be with it early.

I just wish I could convince myself there was a way we could actually score. I'll settle for not turning the ball over 3+ times and playing more good defense if I have to, but, man, it would be nice if we could score or, you know, throw the ball to the open guy every now and then.

Do that to Rodgers, and he'll put up 60.
