After a dominant 23-13 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, the Packers are riding a three-game winning streak and sitting at 4-2. But is this defense becoming something special?… The post We Were Told THIS Was the Packers’ Weakness… Now Look at Them! | Packers Weekly #166 first appeared on PackersTalk.com Blog Posts and Podcasts.

Josh Jacobs was recently taken off the commissioners exempt list meaning he will be back with the Packers this week. The timing of Jacobs return couldn’t come at a better time.

🧀 THE PACKERS TAKE DOWN DALLAS ON SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL! 🏈 The Green Bay Packers improve to 4–2 after a big primetime victory over the Dallas Cowboys! But despite the win, this was far from a perfect

Sadly, the NFL gave the Lions and Vikings byes on the same early-season week, and the Bears won. Their insufferable Twitter fanbase didn't even last a few hours before frothing themselves up about Ben Johnson's focus during the handshake or something. After the Packers did the football version of that thing where an older brother grabs the younger brother's hand and hits him while saying stop hitting yourself, for three straight hours.  Bears * At first glance, you may be like, "the Bears are back; they beat the Falcons quite comfortably, and the Falcons kicked the Packers' ass." You may also say, "Wow, Caleb Williams had such an efficient game; the way he scrambles around for no reason really looks like Aaron Rodgers." But if you said those things, it would either mean you didn't watch the game, or you are a Bears fan who has seen so little good football in their life that they don't really know how to watch a game like a real live human.  * Anyway, the game was close in the first half, and then the Falcons lost the ball twice on special teams and dropped an easy pick, and the Bears took advantage. Don't get me wrong, the Bears outplayed the Falcons for sure, but they just seem to get these lucky plays more than most teams. * Onto Caleb Williams, who returned from a season-ending hamstring pull that kept him out for a few weeks. He was 30/36 or 305 yards and a TD. Really impressive for box score watchers! Here's the thing: Williams had five completions on six attempts on passes over five or six yards downfield. Ben Johnson put the game on easy mode for him, and he took advantage.  * The Falcons put the game on easy mode for the Bears' defense too. Bijan Robinson averaged 6.8 yards per carry but had just 9 carries. Drake London only converted four of ten targets and most of his yards came on one long play. Part of that is because they got down 21-7 because of the stupid muffed punt but it's just crazy.  * After all that, the Falcons still had the ball driving in a one-possession game in the 4th, and Kyler Gordon had his third sack of the day, forcing his second fumble of the day, and the Bears recovered. The Kyler Gordon situation is odd. He's been an up-and-down player in his career, and we've made fun of him plenty of times, but the defense does tend to do better with him on the field. He got a bigish contract this off-season and apparently Bears' were iffy on his injury status before he came back with reporters asking him why the coach and GM were talking trash about him. Real weird; only happens in Chicago type of situation.  Caleb Williams was a perfect 24/24 for 248 yards from a clean pocket in the Bears' Week 6 win over the Falcons. His 24 attempts are the most without an incompletion from a clean pocket in a game since at least 2018.

Chris and Dave come back from a 23-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys sitting at 4-2 and fifth in the NFC, and the first order of business isn’t the Packers at all. It’s the twenty-two penalties, the three roughing calls on one endless drive, the unsportsmanlike flag for a flex, and a league that has… The post Watch “The Referees” on Peacock! | Packers Therapy #508 first appeared on PackersTalk.com Blog Posts and Podcasts.

GREEN BAY — The Packers were the menacing cat on Sunday night and the Cowboys were the mindless ball of yarn. Green Bay played around with Dallas all night en route to a 23-13 win. But it should’ve been a complete whitewash — something like 34-7. The Packers defense made Dak Prescott uncomfortable all night, getting a sack and being hit seven times. Out of Prescott’s 54 passing attempts, nine poor throws were due to pocket pressure.  “I sucked tonight and that’s it,” said Prescott, who threw for 258 yards with a touchdown and two picks.  Packers defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon blitzed on 35.71 percent of the Cowboys offensive snaps. This is exactly what Gannon said he was going to do and it was that pressure that forced Prescott into a season-low 65.2 passer rating.  The best part was that the Packers generated a pressure rate over 41 percent without Micah Parsons. That should send bells to the rest of the Green Bay defense that they can in fact, get it done. The Packers were the curious cat when it came to offense. They dropped six passes — two of them would have been Matthew Golden touchdowns. The Packers also were ticketed with 11 penalties for 96 yards, only averaged 2.1 yards per carry on 27 attempts and red zone issues after the flawless 90-yard opening drive.  The Packers had the chance to blow the doors off the Cowboys and instead they kept tripping over themselves. And that’s hard to do when Jordan Love was throwing darts by putting it exactly where it needed to be.  Green Bay (4-2) all of a sudden seems a long way removed from the train wreck of a team that got throttled by Atlanta in Lambeau in Week 3. After that 35-14 loss, many people wanted answers, especially when it came to head coach Matt LaFleur.  After this Dallas win, I’m still lukewarm on LaFleur, mainly because the undisciplined mistakes are still occurring. The Packers were able to cover up a plethora of errors on Sunday, mainly because the Cowboys just aren’t very good. Yet, they will hang around the NFC East all season because that division winner will likely be under .500.  The Cowboys came to Lambeau averaging 27.6 points a game and they were shut out in a first half for the first time since Nov. 2021.  The season-opening loss to Minnesota exposed Green Bay's vulnerabilities. The victory over Dallas showed how effectively this team can attack an opponent's. If Gannon can keep quarterbacks guessing, Josh Jacobs can help establish the run and Parsons can eventually join the defense. The Packers could become a much more formidable team than the one that left Minnesota searching for answers followed by the one that got smoked by a mediocre Atlanta team.  Filed Under: Packers NewsFeaturedGreen Bay PackersCory JennerjohnCory's Corner   PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO OUR CHEESEHEAD NATION WEEKLY NEWSLETTER HERE. __________________________ Cory Jennerjohn is a graduate from UW-Oshkosh and has been in sports media for over 15 years.

The Green Bay Packers are riding a 3 game winning streak and coming off the heels of a two score win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football, its hard not to feel good about the trajectory of where this football team is headed. It hasn’t been all pretty, the running game has still been troublesome, the drops continue to rear their ugly head and the pass rush could really use an infusion of Micah Parsons. While the offense has been playing pretty well the last two weeks and its hard to be negative after a win, the truth is if they want to continue their winning ways and find the best version of themselves, especially with the anticipated return of Josh Jacobs the Packers need to finally make the switch at right guard to veteran Kevin Zeitler.  One of the biggest areas that still needs to improve is the offensive line, specifically at right guard. While it has come leaps and bounds from where it was to start the season, improvement still’s desired. The Packers have invested heavily in building a physical, dependable offensive line, and they have the personnel available to make a change that could help this offense take another step forward. Kevin Zeitler is a veteran with a long track record of solid play in the NFL. At this point in his career, there shouldn't be much mystery about what he brings to the table. He is experienced, technically sound, and has spent years going against some of the best defensive linemen in football. Those are qualities that should matter to a Packers team trying to establish more consistency up front. The argument for giving Zeitler the starting job isn't necessarily that Travis Glover has been a complete disaster. He has essentially come out of nowhere to help stablize a position that was in dire need to competence but he struggled on Sunday. His 49.9 PFF grade was the second worst on the offensive and by far the worst on the offensive line. It's time that Green Bay needs to put its best five offensive linemen on the field, and it needs to be willing to make changes when something isn't working as well as it should. The Packers have too much talent on offense to continue leaving potential improvements on the table, particularly when one of their biggest offensive problems has been the inability to consistently establish the running game. That becomes even more important when you consider what Josh Jacobs brings to this offense. Jacobs is at his best when he can get downhill, run through contact, and force defenses to commit extra bodies to stopping him. He isn't a running back who needs every carry to be perfectly blocked, but even the best backs in the league need their offensive line to win its fair share of one-on-one battles. When defenders are consistently getting penetration into the backfield, it doesn't matter how talented the running back is. There simply isn't enough room to operate. Green Bay needs to do a better job of creating those lanes, particularly between the tackles. Getting Jacobs back should help stabilize the offense, but the Packers cannot expect his return alone to solve all of their rushing problems. If the blocking continues to be inconsistent, the same issues that have plagued the running game will still be there. A change at right guard could be one way to address those problems before the team enters the more demanding portion of its schedule. There is also a pretty compelling argument to be made that Zeitler's experience could help the entire offensive line, not just the player next to him. At 36 years old, Zeitler has played in 214 regular-season games and made 213 starts throughout his career. He was a Pro Bowler in 2023 and has started for multiple organizations, including the Baltimore Ravens and Detroit Lions. This isn't a player who needs to figure out what it takes to play at a high level in the NFL. He has been doing it for more than a decade.  Of course, age and rust might be a factor in performance, and the Packers need to be mindful of that. Zeitler isn't the same player he was five or ten years ago, and simply inserting a veteran into the lineup doesn't automatically solve every problem. But if he is healthy enough to contribute, there is a strong case for giving him an opportunity to prove he can be an upgrade over the current options. Green Bay didn't bring him in just to have another veteran standing on the sideline. The entire point of adding a player with his résumé was to improve the offensive line. Entering week 4 of being on the roster, he should be well versed enough on the offense to be able to execute at a high enough level.  The encouraging thing is that the Packers have already shown signs of improvement up front. After struggling badly during the opening weeks of the season, the offensive line allowed pressure on just 20.3 percent of opposing pass-rush opportunities in Weeks 4 and 5, a massive improvement from the 44.7 percent rate through the first three weeks. Jordan Love also took just seven hits over those two games after absorbing 31 in the first three.  That is significant progress, and it would be unfair to ignore it. The Packers deserve credit for finding ways to stabilize the protection and give Love more opportunities to operate comfortably in the pocket. However, pass protection and run blocking are two different challenges. The fact that the line has improved in one area doesn't mean the Packers should stop looking for ways to improve in another. Sunday night's 23-13 victory over Dallas was another example. Love threw for 276 yards and a touchdown, while Matthew Golden hauled in six receptions for 104 yards and a score. Those are encouraging numbers, particularly against a Cowboys team that Green Bay was able to put away. But the Packers still had trouble getting the ground game going, and that has to be a concern moving forward.  The Packers cannot expect Love to shoulder the burden every week like they have been (even though he’s good at it). Eventually, they are going to need to lean on their running game to control the clock, close out games and keep opposing defenses from teeing off on the quarterback. Getting Jacobs back should help, but the offensive line has to do its part, too. At the end of the day, this isn't about tearing apart an offensive line that has started to play better. It's about finding the right combination before the stakes get higher. Zeitler has the experience, the résumé and the track record to warrant a serious look at the starting job. If the Packers believe he is healthy enough to handle the workload, there is little reason to keep him out of the conversation. Green Bay is in a good place right now. Three consecutive wins have changed the mood around this team, and Sunday's victory over Dallas was another reminder of what this roster is capable of when things are clicking. But the Packers should be thinking about more than just extending their winning streak. They should be thinking about what gives them the best chance to compete with the NFC's top teams when January arrives. For me, that means giving Kevin Zeitler a legitimate opportunity to take over at right guard. It’s great to know Glover has the ability to play a passable right gaurd but the Packers have  made the investment by bringing Zeitler to Green Bay. Now it's time to find out whether he can help solve one of the offense's lingering problems. If his presence can make the running game even a little more consistent, it could be an important piece of the puzzle as this team tries to turn a promising start into something much bigger.
