Dominating C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans sets a new standard for the Green Bay Packers defense

[@zamfambam]

39 years of getting a die hard packers fan, I have never seen our defense play this smart. Go Pack Go

[@HesherMcHonkey]

I don't know, they played pretty damned good under Fritz Shurmur in '95-'96.

[@zamfambam]

@@HesherMcHonkey true.

[@VietTran-d6x]

This should be their SECOND superb performance on defense. Look at what they did to the Cardinals and look at what the cardinals did last night

[@WoodyZappa1]

Wilson had a Quay half season of splash plays in less than a game. We’ve put Stokes in cold storage; I’m sure there’s room for another bulldog.

[@Onelove2000]

Who's week is always better when the Packers win??? I know mine is, especially when it's a walk off FG of all things😁💪💚💯👊💚💪

[@paulsamuelsen8281]

Always lol

[@liltony8177]

Still continuing the Quay hate, I see. Facts are facts Texans couldn't rush until Quay got hurt. I'm ready for you to admit you were wrong about Nixon, too. You owe him a BIG apology

[@snoopbaggins8563]

This guy also touted oren burks as a must start a couple years back

[@joshuaandritsch4313]

Eric Wilson was a beast after Quay went out

[@Eddy41020]

its weird..The run defense got worst with Quay out...yet Wilson was making tackles in the backfield that Quay usually misses

[@HenryLoeser]

Quay is soft as Charmin - makes plays backing up - leads the league in tackles for first downs...

[@austinmay8477]

In one of the first games of the season, Narveson’s “field goal range” line was at the EIGHTEEN yard line. It’s jarring that we now have a kicker that we only need to get to the forty for.

[@sharkei1987ify]

Losing Quay was addition through subtraction. Quay misses too many assignments. Eric Wilson provided a glimpse of what this defense can be with competent LBs on the field. Quay is very athletic, but hasn't been able to make the reads.

[@jgphantombeats]

We got killed in the run game after quay got hurt

[@sharkei1987ify]

@@jgphantombeats gonna happen occasionally. GB ALWAYS gets burned on crossing routes with Quay in there. WRs and TEs running wide open cuz he can't figure out what's going on. I'd rather give up a few yards in the run game vs unlimited receptions across the middle.

[@Eddy41020]

​@@jgphantombeatswe got killed in the run game but Wilson made better plays on the ball and actually made tackles that Quay gets bullied on

[@jgphantombeats]

@@Eddy41020 Facts. Wilson was money on 3rd down

Brandon Mc-Make-it🙌🏿🏈💯

[@matthewpulizos3444]

Finally having hope for our defense is a weird feeling. Our offense can actually make mistakes now and we have a solid chance at winning.

[@paulsamuelsen8281]

Defense really has moved up a level or two.

[@matthewbook6670]

In a post-game interview, McManus spoke about how he is much more strict and particular in his practice with the kicking unit than what they were used to. Does this indirectly point to bad coaching?

[@raybrean9889]

The Green Bay Packers held C.J. Stroud to career lows in completions, passing yards, and net passing yards in a suffocating performance last Sunday at Lambeau Field. C.J. Stroud, the NFL’s Offensive Rookie Of The Year in 2023, completed 10 of 21 passes for 86 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions. He averaged 4.1 yards per attempt, lost 31 yards on 4 sacks and finished with a passer rating of 58.8. Pressure was the key. According to Next Gen Stats, C.J. Stroud was under pressure on 48.5% of his dropbacks, a new career high. He completed only 3 passes under pressure. Matt Lafluer said that the Green Bay Packers never let C.J. Stroud get comfortable. C.J. Stroud completed just 1 pass over 20 yards, a 28-yard completion to Dalton Schultz. When targeting receivers Stefon Diggs and Tank Bell, C.J. Stroud was 5-for-11 for 23 yards. The Houston Texans finished with only 6 passing 1st downs. The Green Bay Packers defense allowed 22 points, but the number is misleading. Of the 22 points, 16 came directly off of turnovers that gave the Houston Texans the football inside the 20-yard line. On the 9 drives starting without a turnover, the Houston Texans scored just 6 points and punted 6 times. The Green Bay Packers finished with 7 quarterback hits and 4 sacks. Of the 4 sacks, 3 came off blitzes. Xavier McKinney’s 1st-half sack knocked the Houston Texans out of field goal range and forced a punt. Eric Wilson’s sack ended the Houston Texans’ 1st drive of the 2nd half after 3 plays. Eric Wilson ended another 2nd-half drive with a sack on 3rd down near midfield. The Houston Texans were without their top receiver Nico Collins and veteran Robert Woods, but it’s still difficult to downplay how well the Green Bay Packers contained a top young quarterback in a big game. The road to the Super Bowl is littered with elite quarterbacks. On a day when the Green Bay Packers didn’t record a takeaway, a pressure-filled performance from the defensive front and a smothering coverage effort on the backend teamed up to create a dominant result from Jeff Hafley’s defense against a top passer. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛

This dude should just have his own KZbin channel…. Or he’s a teacher/retired teacher who just misses writing

[@JerC-h3q]

Peter said the first int was the one he can’t live with but it was actually a good play by the defense. They had double out routes on the outside and the DB closer to the boundary let go his man to jump the route. Nice play on his part and next time Love will look for that instead of predetermining his throw. Easy rectification and good gamble by the DB.

[@scooter5940]

I don’t think this game was a masterpiece from the offense, or from MLF, and special teams was a hot mess. But, I can see why our new DC got a game ball. The defense executed exceptionally well, but credit to Hafley for putting them into position to be successful.

[@Solrida]

the title says everything needed to know about you sir. If youll remember the game came down to a field goal and there were more than 5 lead changes. if thats beating up a team i guess you tell folks you stood a chance in your chess club rumbles.

[@andyhancock1130]

Houston only stayed in this game because of GB mistakes. GB dominated Stroud in defence. Study the all 22, and the only thing you walk away with is that the Packers should have won by a LOT more. Houston got beat up. Offence just didn't lay in the boots.

[@HTCJackson]

Houston FORCED those mistakes 😂😂 yall are so green LITERALLY. Just happy to still be relevant ig

[@HTCJackson]

Facts bro lmaoo they act like they did something special. Our O line been garbage all year. Our main problem on offense. They picked on a weak line and an offense without their best weapon. Congrats 😂🎉

[@panicboy3705]

"You show seven but you bring four. But it is a weird four". This made me lol

[@HELLRASR]

I don’t blame the coach for lack of attention to detail on the players part. The mistakes made by Keisean Nixon and Jayden Reed were inexcusable on their part.

[@JimmyCovers420]

Need to edit better I heard the fade out to complete cut.. not ideal lol no bumper?

[@HTCJackson]

There will be excuses 😂😂 yall seen the best of the defense against a team without their top weapon. Meanwhile Texans defense had yall in a chokehold with 6 starters out 😂😂 yall need to be worried not excited

[@seanwagner8654]

I think the bigger thing to take away from that is that those bums being out on defense didn’t mean anything for this game. Second best player after will anderson was Hewitt who started only because of injury. Tootoo was the worst ranked ilb last year by pff, let him play, by all means

[@santostorres1799]

I’m fine with my Texans losing to the packers, just can’t stand the cockiness of packers fans thinking they’re gods because they beat a banged up Texans team by 2 points lol

[@donovanjohnson4279]

Nico Collins and who else were missing from the offense? Houston’s o line was overmatched almost every passing play

[@waynesonneman7343]

You were only down one person on offense so what’s the excuse??? Cry some more

[@HTCJackson]

@@waynesonneman7343you act like that 1 person wasn’t the BEST PERSON in football this year lol he missed a whole week and was still ahead by 100 yards 😂😂 that’s like beating the Vikings with no JJ. Like cut The malarkey

[@wholuvsyababy2675]

"And" he made the kick knowing that all of the hypocritical moralists will be judging his past mistake as something he needs to pay for until the day he dies. Can the Green Bay media stop genuflecting to these clowns every time his name is mentioned in a story? There's nothing gained by tempering your praise? It's getting old. Leave the man's past in the past and enjoy him being part of the team for Christ's sake...

Yellow stripe would have been good but I though it should have been a yellow “G”!!

[@taylormurphy6433]

Same makeup again Zhao?

[@Mr.Rejuvenator]

It was only Houstons O line was very weak. The score should've been higher. Houston dominated with an injured defense. It really wasn't a great performance. The internet guys are always overhyped. If Cj had protection, he probably doesn't throw the Jordan Love Interceptions. Ok win

[@donovanjohnson4279]

Jordan Love’s protection wasn’t great and CJ received the ball on GB 11 yard line twice

[@Blammo94]

You’re right, it was an “okay” win by the offense but that gives optimism. They could’ve done so much better and they still won.
