Matthew said yesterday that he wouldn't use the cliche because the next man up was already on the field when everyone else got hurt.

John Ulrick !? What !?

Is he an issue? and " a first round pick from Cleveland "

Please explain this for me.

CAPERS

Ryan Wood‏ @ByRyanWood 5m5 minutes ago
#Packers DC Dom Capers: "The biggest area we have to clean up is the missed tackles from yesterday."

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 3m3 minutes ago
Capers: Have to look at who will be available, how much volume can we use against Saints.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 6m6 minutes ago
Capers on game: Had a lot of moving parts. Guys battled. Guys playing positions hadn't played in. Too many missed tackles.

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 3m3 minutes ago
Capers on Pipkins: Thought he was aggressive, made some good plays.

Packer Report‏ @PackerReport 7m7 minutes ago
Capers says missed tackles were biggest problem. Says they had season high. (I had them with 11, a season high)

Packer Report‏ @PackerReport 5m5 minutes ago
Capers laughs when I asked about challenge of playing without corners. Were down to one for a time, he says.

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 8m8 minutes ago
Capers: "I don't think it's really going to affect the approach. We go out every week and the goal is to keep people out of the end zone."

Tom Silverstein‏ @TomSilverstein 4m4 minutes ago
Capers said that both PUP members Vince Biegel and Demitri Goodson are likely to start practicing this week. Have 3-week window if needed.

I'm not a doctor and don't play one on Twitter, but surgery can actually improve Rodgers' odds of returning. Not necessarily season-ending.

Well, I had a kidney removed last April, but I still have the other one.

So when will you return to your previous level of posting?

wait, I had a previous level? lower or higher?

[ThunderDan]

I have been on 1 kidney for the last 9 years. I donated mine to a family member.

kudos to you man, totally serious here. I've done some kidney research in my time, talked with a lot of patients, and it is hell to live without functioning kidneys. Again, props to you, and all the best to your family.



P.S. my line was from "Tommy Boy" in case you didn't know...

[red]

so he is having surgery, so season over

i wouldn't be shocked if rollins didn't play his last game yesterday

I think most logical Packer fans can agree that Barr's hit was not dirty nor illegal but it was more than likely intentional and it definitely was unnecessary. However I don't think it is any different than the intentionally violent hits that Matthews sometimes lays on opposing players. I sometimes think to myself that was legal but probably unnecessary.

Lost in all this though is the BS that Barr pulled later in the game with the head butt to Adams. That was stupid and dirty. I don't usually say things like this but I was glad he got knocked out the of the game with a concussion. In fact I kind of hope it happened on that head butt...

Vikings LBer A. Barr's 'suck move' on Adams was 'a pure Goon Move'.

That's the sorta crap that will drive viewers away from watching the NFL.

That and all of the fricken commercials. Damn that issue (at least with me) pisses me off ! It seems to me that half or more of the approx. 3 hours viewing time for a complete game is Commercials.

I believe that's the Primary Reason that Viewer Ratings are appreciably lower now.

I'm so happy to be a Pro Pickem and Total NFL fan as to sit and try to concentrate on just one game is maddening.

Hey Ed - you and Mae should consider what Mrs. Q and I do - set the recorder and do some other stuff for about ("aboot"to you ) an hour. Then just hunker down and enjoy the game, essentially commercial free.

That is good ( a great tip)......I record every Packer game as too often I am scoreboard watching and watching NFL.Com and flipping TV channels for other games and maybe posting on the Game Thread here on Packerrats.

To sit and watch the broadcast steadily is an example of masochism or at least frustration en extremis.

[mraynrand]

Good post. I agree.

[Fosco33]

Agree. It wasn't that Barrs hit was illegal or past the line - just seemed unnecessary. To me - it was the followup head butt to a guy that spent a night in the hospital recently that irked me. Added together and you can see why casual fans were calling for rebuttal.

Same as the hit on Adams. Just showing the 5 sec clip in a vacuum doesn't make sense. Show the chippyness leading up to the hit, the context of the down/distance and point in the game. Added together and it wasn't necessary and borderline dirty.

And, to me, Clay is a kind of player on that edge of aggressive/dirty. And I'm on record as one who wouldn't mind seeing him go to an afc team for the value (plays, games vs salary).

Not to mention Barr head butt Adams just a week after Adams got over a concussion
