Star Ratings are easy when Green Bay wins. This is the opposite of the local radio hosts who hope for destruction because the phone lines will right up. Finding a five-star Packers player is pretty hard to figure out this week. There is absolutely none. Not one single player deserved to be the five-star designation. Let’s do our best and talk about different things that happened throughout the game. This will be a little different than what we typically do.

FIVE STARS
Joe Buck – I said no players deserved the five-star honor this week. But you know who does? Joe Buck! He is doing football and the World Series at the same damn time. Buck said awhile back that he was done doing both, but it appears he is in a good headspace with the ability to do both. FOX’s Joe Davis did a great job with Game 7, but it did miss Buck. I’ve said before that most people like Buck these days, but if somehow you do not, you should reveal how hard this is as a broadcaster.

FOUR STARS
Hanging out with a buddy despite your team getting their ass kicked – Got to see my guy ShayKenn last night at Loaded Slate. This is the first time I went to a bar for the Packers’ game since 2017. It was great because we had our own television away from everybody. It felt weirdly safe. This is the case for why I don’t go to the bars though. In the last two games – Aaron Rodgers breaks his collarbone and the Packers lose by 28, I might stay away from the bars.

THREE STARS
At least it was over early – The good thing about Matt LaFleur’s losses is the ripcord gets pulled out pretty quickly. The only one that was devastating is the first loss against Philadelphia that came down to the wire. Had I been home for this game, my dog and I would have gone on a walk in the fourth quarter. This is my first football season with a dog. It is great to have her walk after the game. I washed the loss off very quickly and moved on to Houston.

TWO STARS
Montravious Adams – This might be a little low for him honestly. Adams seemed to show up more than any other defender in this game. He seems to be picking up steam as a player for this team. Adams stepped up after Tyler Lancaster went down with a shoulder injury.

ONE STAR
Packers pass rush – Green Bay had two pressures total against Tampa Bay. TWO. This offensive line is not very good at all. Have teams figured out Mike Pettine’s scheme or are the Packers’ front seven bad? They paid a lot of money to have Preston Smith, Za’Darius Smith, and high draft capital with Rashan Gary. We’ll see what Green Bay can do next week against Houston.
