Over the last couple of weeks we saw some squabbling on the sidelines and a lot of head shaking by Aaron Rodgers. We saw some of that on Sunday also. The Packers are still not a well oiled machine but winning is something that cures a lot of ills.

On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers were by far the better team on the field. Teddy Bridgewater had his moments. Adrian Peterson scored a touchdown. Kyle Rudolph established a personal best for receiving yards. Our defense gave up nearly 400 yards again (not including sacks).

Packers players are beat up physically. Before the game, the injury report listed 22 players. Six are on injured reserve. Seven offensive starters including four linemen (only one not listed is Corey Linsley) were listed. Linsley went out early in the game with an ankle injury. JC Tretter came in and did a creditable job. Randall Cobb and Davante Adams are no longer listed but Ty Montgomery, Jared Abbrederis and James Jones are. Adams went out for awhile.
