Oops.
Barrington, I meant.
He looked pretty good, aggressive with some good run fills.

Burnett was stud number 1 for the game. Lacy, Cobb and Nelson were a close second on the O.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Clay, Peppers and Neal made an impact too.Originally Posted by ThunderDan
Adams will be fine. He's struggling late in his rookie season. Same thing happened to Greg Jennings. I'll take TT's track record on WR's over anybody. Guess I'm a homer.
Winner: John Kuhn
The wrath of Kaaaaaaaaaahn! was on display.
Adams must have done something shitty in practice this week because those balls he dropped were thrown about as hard as they could be. Looked like Rodgers was conducting a teachable moment on the field. Adams will be fine.

Rodgers has been throwing the short stuff like that for a few weeks. I am not sure what is going on. He did that a lot in Buffalo.
Good news is that somehow Rodgers and Starks are in sync passing, which usually only happens in leap years.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Winners:
Pass rushers, but especial praise for Perry. That bull rush that set up Mike Daniels' sack was something special. Looks like his shoulder is back.
HHCD: Loved how he knifed into the backfield to drop the carrier when everyone else was occupying blockers. Kid has a knack for getting into the backfield and in a position to make a play. He misses some, but that will improve with experience.
Burnett: Proof he's not two people came this year when HHCD became the second person and Burnett could go back to playing one and being what he is: a good, versatile safety.
Lacy: No more needs to be said.
Losers:
Adams...again (but he'll get better)
Red Zone offense. I think this is a by product of having only two reliable pass catchers on the team. I expected a huge year from Cobb and Nelson if they stayed healthy because most of the other pass catchers on the team are either pedestrian (e.g. entire TE corp) or at least year away (e.g. Janis, Abby) though Lacy and Starks have been pleasant surprises as pass catchers and provide a different type of 1-2 punch as receivers (Lacy as a checkdown, Starks split wide).
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
On this one I do agree with the Blamers of Play Calling. There are quite possibly only two WR threats to worry about, so why go five wide? Keep at least one if not two backs in and go with Q or Rodgers and a FB. Make the defense defend the entire thing because GB is one of the few teams that might hand it to the FB close to the goal line.

Boykin with 2 receptions - wtf happened there, eh? Didn't they call up another WR, Gillette or someone? What happened there, did he go right back down or get released?
Oh, and no one has anything to say about the lightning strike in the parking lot after the game? That's nuts!

Dorsey. That's who they called up. He ended up on IR.

Mac did say after the game if he could have a do-over there he would have put the ball in Rodgers' hand and not the FB there. I hope he remembers that in the future...
Loser: Brandon Bostick.
Man, you could be catching passes down the middle of the field from Aaron Rodgers, but instead you're wrestling with someone else's linebacker on coverage teams.

What happened with Bostick? I know he was hurt in the latter part of training camp and the start of the season, but I wonder why he hasn't made any kind of an impact? Weren't the reports out of TC that he was doing well? He wouldn't be the first or last camp phenom, but come on! We need a seam route guy. Hard to rely on Richard Rodgers being that he is a rookie. At this point, what are the chances that any of the TE's make a solid contribution as receivers this season/post-season?

Reports out of training camp were mixed. he was making plays...when he ran his routes correctly. Lack of confidence in his route running has kept him on the bench. He's not a rookie. If he doesn't know the offense in his 3rd year, have to wonder if he ever will. Huge disappointment.
I hadn't heard that, Joe. Well, if that's the case, weird that he made the team at all. Maybe there's that tease factor where they think he will figure it out, or just needs a little success to build his confidence, but his playing time in the passing game has been very limited, so where is that confidence going to come from? So, if he can't really play, I'm surprised a guy like him stays and a special teams guy like Ryan Taylor gets cut. I would think Taylor more valuable to the team because he is likely better on special teams.

Yeah, Joe has this right. More than once he had the catch of the day and then the next day the coaches would say he needs to get his game together to progress.
Just like McAdoo butted heads with Finley, Fontenot seems to be butting heads with Bostick.
