My Take -> Week 7

Greetings, G-Force.

And, just like that, Aaron Rodgers has added a forever moment in the legendary rivalry between the Packers and Bears. For more than 100 years, these franchises have bashed heads. Last Sunday, we witnessed a moment that'll stand the test of time. "I still own you." Book it.

As I write, I listen to the Phish July 27, 2018 show from the Forum. I'm heading out to CA to see Phish at the Forum again this weekend. With that, I reminisce about a great night that I enjoyed at the famed indoor venue. I sip an Avery Kaiser. 'Tis the season for a Munich style big beer. This Imperial Oktoberfest clocks in at 8%. Yet, it's so smooth. A true favorite of mine this time of year.

My quick vibes from the last week:

Matt LaFleur got back to a little bit of his creative roots as the game wore on, but he started off the game looking like McCarthy's offense at the end of his time in Green Bay. Straight forward looks. Little motion. Bland. In return, his offense was stagnant. LaFleur introduced more motion and when he did, he saw better results. LaFleur's offense is based on deception. He must stick with his roots.

Aaron Rodgers wasn't in his MVP form. He missed some open throws. But, he gave us a moment of a lifetime. After rushing for a TD and getting clocked as he crossed the goal line, Rodgers showed us THE BELT. Then, we saw the classless Bears fans showing the middle finger in excessive fashion. In the end, "I still own you" will reign supreme. Forever. Damn it feels good to be a Packers fan.

Davante Adams. Straight butter. So smooth.

AJ Dillon is becoming a force in this offense.

THE BEARS STILL SUCK!

Much respect, Lucas Patrick!

Aaron Jones. Elite. He defines Packers football. What's not to like about him? A great dude.

Marcedes Lewis!

Bobby Tonyan needs to get more involved in this offense. He's a solution in the Gold Zone!

This team will improve when MVS and Dafney return from the IR. Don't overlook Dafney's value to this team. He's a tremendous blocker.

Dean Lowry is playing the best football of his career.

THE BEARS STILL SUCK!

Kenny Clark is playing at an All Pro Level.

Rasul Douglas might've been the MVP. Had Yiadom stayed in the game, the Bears might've dropped 40. When Douglas came in, there was a semblence of sanity to the defense.

Make the tackle, Jaylon Smith.

What a punt!

Whitney Mercilus! OH MERCY! But, Packers fans, check yourself. This isn't a suddenly new version of Brian Gutekunst. In 2018, he signed Breeland as an in-season player. In 2019, it was Veldheer. In 2020, it was Austin and Snacks. This is who Brian Gutekunst is.

This week - it's the WFT in Green Bay. There's absolutely no reason for the Packers to not go to 6-1.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet as I have to head out to the beach to go on vacation. Yes, I'm dreaming about my toes in the sand. A sip of tequila. A clear IPA. Fish tacos. Family and friends. A Phish show in Chula Vista and another in LA after a drive up the coast. That's where my head's at.

As for the Packers, control the line of scrimmage. Protect 12. Establish the run. Open up play action. Lazard snags a TD deep down the Field. WFT can cover GB. No chance.

And, for the Packers fans, make sure your piss is hot early in the morning. Keep it rowdy! Packers 30
WFT 20

Go Pack Go!
