Defense showed the fug up

Not sure if green bay had back ups in, but glad we took advantage of that

Yup. Evero called a good game today and the players executed well. Still some really frustrating plays, but they didn't make it easy on GB, forced long drives, and made some massive plays when it mattered 

Considering how lopsided our investment is in the offense versus the defense they are without a doubt holding up their end of the bargain and then some. Now just imagine if we actually had a real passing O.

For what it's worth, that investment in the OL is paying off. Despite massive injuries we are maintaining a functioning - even dangerous - rushing attack.  Obviously we are in agreement on the passing O heh.

But I'm glad to see the D having a game like this. It builds tons of confidence

Well the reality of the matter is we invested in the OL and particularly the interior OL through the nose the way we did as a direct response to protecting and giving our QB a chance. And we've changed gears entirely and became an old school ground and pound team. It's still way too much to pay to have such an anemic passing game.

Wharton had himself a great game.  Very nice to see from a guy who should be here the next 3-4 years.

Absolutely they deserve major kudos especially after that dreadful loss last week. This thread should be many more pages considering how much trash people have talked about the defense for weeks now.

I haven't been a huge Evero fan; however, today seemed like a well called game.  Rushed four on third and long , but the secondary held up.  Dialed up some pressures at the right time.  If the defense deserve credit, which they do, then Evero deserves  credit for a well called game.  WE BEAT GREEN BAY IN GREEN BAY!

Everyone that talked down on Trevor, might want to retract... dude has been making plays consistently  and bringing the edge to the defense we need!!

I will absolutely give them credit for holding a great offense to just 13 points, credit is due to them for that, no doubt about it.

But I will also point out how we didn't force them to punt one time all game either.  Which is also why I feel like the Packers lost this game more than we won it, missed FG and a few bad turnovers cost them the game, and not sure I'd say we forced them into those things, maybe the fumble, but not the INT or missed kick, bad throw/play call, bad kick.
