Post Game: Packers Shut Out Saints 34-0 Clinch Playoff Spot

If this wasn't the best played game all year by the Packers then it was dang close!

There is not a lot to nit pick on. This was a complete win. Yes, the Saints were injured and out manned but that is what a playoff team that has a shot at winning it all does. They dominate for 4 quarters!

Shout out to Hafley. He has done a tremendous job with this D considering he doesn't have all the players he wants yet. We are a top 13 D right now. We are giving up only 19 points per game which is 3rd in the NFC. Only the Eagles and the Vikings are better in points per game. We are 14th in pass D which is our weakness but that is dang good considering we have no CB depth and no great corners.

Now, let's go kick the Vikings a-holes and see if we can get the 5th seed!

Go hard next week. The only thing left to prove is they can get a win over one of the elite. For a young team, there’s likely to be a gulf between what you think you can do and what you know you can do. Get a win in Minnesota and you close that gulf—the sky would be the limit.
 
Fun game to watch. They played well in all facets. Can't remember a game quite like that in a long time!

Kicking game - what can you say . . . rock solid. Sign this guy to an extension for Christmas.

Run defense - did what they needed to do, especially early, to take control.

Inexperience at QB - again a non-factor as Love was pretty close to perfect. Heck, even Willis comes into the game and throws an absolute dime.

The only negative in this game is the Watson injury, which didn't look serious and hopefully it isn't. We don't "need" him for a couple of weeks so hopefully, if necessary, he can use that time to heal and get ready for a 4 game playoff run.

Cooper finally played a full game and continues to show he can be a star on this defense. The banged up secondary more than held its own against a somewhat depleted group of Saints pass catchers. Hopefully they'll have their full complement of defenders ready for the playoffs. Down 3/4 starters and still pitching a shut-out gives me hope they can peak at the right time and make a run to the Super Bowl.
