9-3 is pretty darn good all things considered.
Unfortunately wasn't game isn’t going to tell us anything unless they lost. Even a blowout win tells us nothing.
The Packers did score a TD on their first possession, which was nice to see.
It was a game that saw Aaron Jones mis-used (again) for whatever reason - granted he couldn't get much going in the ground game but given conditions the Packers should have just kept pounding him but they didn't.  They continue this odd thing where they have one offensive series with Aaron Jones, then they pull him and give the next series to Jamal Williams
Speaking of Jamal Williams - he played very well, he always plays hard no matter what is at stake.
Brian Bulaga played a week after an MCL sprain and played pretty well - very impressive.
Davante Adams quietly has 3 touchdowns in the last 3 games after having zero for basically the entire season (although he was hurt for a number of games).
Alan Lazard had a nice game with a big 3rd down catch and he had a long TD reception too.  He is the team's defacto No. 2 WR
Geronimo Allison had a couple catches but he is very frustrating to watch - there was a sideline pass that went right through his hands - you've got to catch that!
David Bakhtiari is having a down year - he had his 12th penalty today on offense. Not exactly all-pro...
This defense leaves so much to be desired - they basically have had all 11 preferred starters for the entire year and they rank in the bottom 1/4 of the league in every major defensive category.  Don't let the 31-13 score fool you - this is a terrible Giants team and the Packers defense was their usual self for about 3 full quarters.
Kevin King is an incredibly inconsistent player - he flashes a lot of potential, but gives up way too many big plays considering it is his 3rd year in the league.  He is what he is at this point - inconsistent.
Kenny Clark played better today and had a great 3 yard run stuffing TFL in the 1st quarter.  They desperately need him to emerge down the stretch.
Mason Crosby is having a very good year, good for him - the rest of his unit is shitting the bed every week.  ST is a disaster
JK Scott had a much better game today vs. his past 3-4 games.  Good to see him punt well in crappy weather too as he has struggled with that in his first two years in the league.
