    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.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    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...
