Post Game Packers Defeat Giants 27-20

OK, Musgrave isn't getting the job done.

But, our all cheese Tight End (who also whiffs on way too many blocks) tore his ACL and is done for at least this season.

Musgrave went from trade bait to a necessity. We simply were forced into giving him his shot. So i can't really fault Gute for not trading Musgrave.

To me the most disappointing thing is he doesn't even seem inspired to grab the bull by its horns and step up and show he's the guy. I mean it's right frickin' there. Go frickin' get it. He sure as hell doesn't appear to have the Churzpah of the great Tight Ends.

When we drafted them I was hoping for a reboot of Jackson and Chumra. Hopefully, Kraft makes a full recovery.

I don't doubt he'll think he's recovered before he is. We'll have to protect him from himself.

no. i mean he will work his tail off in rehab to be ready before anyone expects him to be. and while i agree that we need to protect him from himself, i also believe that when the doctors say he's ready, then we need to let him play.

I understand.

But, we have a history of letting guys try to come back too early

i think it's more the case that those guys are just fragile. like marshawn lloyd. he was on ir for how long? finally gets the ok to play and goes out and gets injured again in a few snaps. i don't blame the docs. i think he's a fragile guy. we have guys on the roster that have never played a full season. durability doesn't seem to be one of the metrics that gute considers when drawing up his draft board.

Based on grades from Pro Football Focus, here are the best and worst players from the Packers’ Week 11 win over the Giants:

Top 5 offense
QB Jordan Love: 93.1
LG Aaron Banks: 83.4
WR Christian Watson: 82.1
RT Zach Tom: 72.4
WR Matthew Golden: 70.0

Love was elite. He dominated from clean pockets, was excellent throwing the ball downfield and only had meager box score numbers because of the recurring drops. Banks played his best game of the season, earning an 82.1 run block grade and allowing just two pressures over 33 pass-blocking snaps. Watson caught three contested passes, including both touchdowns, and likely would have earned an elite grade had he come down with the fourth contested catch on a deep throw from Love in the second half. Tom gave up just a single hurry in pass protection. Golden caught only one pass for 24 yards, but he also drew a key pass interference penalty on a touchdown drive. Savion Williams played only two snaps but earned a 94.5 grade. Malik Willis (77.5, seven snaps), Darian Kinnard (75.7, nine snaps) and Chris Brooks (75.2, five snaps) were excellent in supporting roles.

Top 5 defense
DE Micah Parsons: 89.6
CB Keisean Nixon: 84.5
S Xavier McKinney: 74.1
CB Javon Bullard: 72.5
CB Carrington Calentine: 71.2
Parsons produced a team-high six pressures: two sacks, two hits, two hurries. He also led the defense in run tackles (4) and run stops (3). Nixon led the team in run defense grade (75.7) and coverage grade (83.7) -- he broke up two passes and forced two incompletions. McKinney broke up a pass and was a perfect 5-for-5 as a tackler. Bullard gave up just one catch and had a pass breakup in coverage. Valentine dropped two interceptions, but he allowed just one catch for eight yards.

Bottom 5 offense
TE Luke Musgrave: 28.4
TE John FitzPatrick: 54.3
C Sean Rhyan: 55.6
LT Rasheed Walker: 56.3
WR Dontayvion Wicks: 56.7
Musgrave caught one pass for -1 yard, had a drop and a fumble, and he was fortunate not to have a second fumble. He barely played in the second half as a result. FitzPatrick failed to make a catch and was poor in the run game. Rhyan had a few poor snaps and gave up a quarterback hit (16.6 pass block grade) but was effective in the run game. Walker gave up two pressures, including a quarterback hit. Wicks dropped a pass and had only one catch for nine yards on 17 routes run.

Bottom 5 defense
DL Devonte Wyatt: 32.9
LB Isaiah McDuffie: 47.7
DE Kingsley Enagbare: 51.8
DL Colby Wooden: 52.3
LB Quay Walker: 56.8
Wyatt earned a team-worst 36.0 run defense grade, and he didn't have a pressure over 16 pass-rushing snaps. McDuffie was average against the run, excellent as a tackler but struggled in coverage, and he was flagged for pass interference near the goal line, eventually resulting in a touchdown. Enagbare played 40 snaps but missed a tackle and didn't have a pressure as a rusher. Wooden missed two tackles and wasn't good against the run. Walker had three stops, but he struggled against the run and allowed two catches in coverage.

Special teams
Cornerback Kamal Hadden earned an elite 91.6 special teams grade while operating as a blocker on kickoff return (four snaps) and punt return (two snaps). Long snapper Matt Orzech made two tackles covering punts, while Arron Mosby made two tackles covering kickoffs. Kingsley Enagbare was penalized on a punt return. Lucas Havrisik missed two extra points, while Daniel Whelan averaged 44.5 net yards per punt, had two punts of at least 60 yards and two punts inside the 20-yard line.
