When was the first time the Packers played in a Thanksgiving Day football game?
Nov. 25, 1920, vs. the Stambaugh Miners.

Packers' defense: Overhyped? Injuries (particularly Gary) finally too numerous to overcome? One-game aberration? Certainly it can't be that Cousins is that good.
As noted prior to the game, the key now is how the Packers' defense responds to this. It's just not realistic in this league to continue that level of performance for an extended period (or dare I say, achieve FULL CONSISTENCY). Rashan Gary's absence in the pass rush was obvious. Not having Jaire Alexander also showed up more in this game than others, with Minnesota's array of weapons and route combinations that had the secondary looking a step slow at times. Turnovers can help compensate for a defense's rough patches, and the Packers didn't get any, which was entirely their own fault.

It's gonna be a long battle.
Six games to go. One team in the NFC has two losses, and five others have three. It feels like the real season is just getting started.

Who do you think had the best single season MVP performance of any sport, or if it's a sport without that award, best one-year performance?
I'd probably have to go with either Wayne Gretzky or Wilt Chamberlain. Take your pick of two of Gretzky's MVP (Hart Trophy) seasons – when he scored 92 goals and finished with 212 points in 1981-82, or when he posted 163 assists and finished with 215 points in 1985-86. Or when Chamberlain averaged 50.4 points per game in 1961-62.

A bit of a rough day as far as the game ending how everyone had hoped, but I was happy to see Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown have some big explosive plays when we needed them. What other positives did you see or what really stuck out to you? Also, when was the last time we had two receivers go over 100 yards in the same game?
I believe it was back in 2018, the Monday night game vs. San Francisco, when the Packers actually had three over 100 – Davante Adams, MVS and Graham. It was definitely good to see MVS make some noise and EQ produce in Lazard's absence. Those are good developments for the stretch run. To come back from 16-3, 23-10 and 31-24 on the road in a noisy place without Aaron Jones also said something about the offense.

Gentlemen, the name of this game was clearly missed opportunities; however, I believe the offensive output is quite a bright spot. Cleaning up the irregularities on defense (dropped picks, excessive penalties) and keeping the offense rolling will put the Pack in a nice spot moving forward. Sometimes the breaks don't go our way, but I don't believe this was the type of game that will give our enemies a blueprint on beating the Packers moving forward. For the most part, Kirk got lucky.
Quarterbacks are going to make good throws. They're pros. When they make bad ones, you have to make them regrettable, or it's too easy to shake it off and move on to the next one.
Ken from Oceanport, NJ
As atrocious as the secondary played against the Vikings, do you think Jerry Gray being a former Viking coach, the Vikings had a read on his pass coverages?
I don't think that was it. I saw some route combinations that either were new, and therefore Green Bay wasn't prepared for them, or the Packers simply played poorly. I've commented before about seeing the secondary pass off routes to one another smoothly, everybody on point with their assignments. That wasn't the case in this particular game. Cousins had plenty of time to let those route combinations develop as well. The coverage was forced to hold up longer and didn't.
Chuck from Stillwater, MN
If you would have asked me in September if I'd be happy with 2-2 over this past four-game stretch I'd say heck yeah! Do you agree? Just beat the Rams and everything we want is right there for the taking.
Losing Rodgers for a game obviously hurt, because it was a shame to waste such a dynamite defensive performance in KC. Games like this are going to happen in this league to the best defenses, and obviously if the offense shows up in KC or the defense shows up in Minnesota, the Packers have one more win to show for their efforts. But 4-3 on the road is respectable, and 4-0 at home is called taking care of business. That's the Packers' task next week, to keep winning at home.
