(Big) Weiners and Loozers

[Fritz]

Well, here it is, just to get you started:

Loozers:

Ryan Taylor, for letting the ball bounce between his legs.

Dom Capers, for taking so long to take Bishop off Gates, and for not being "creative," as Woodson put it, with Matthews.

Marshall Newhouse, who stood watching the defenders he was supposed to block chasing Aaron Rodgers all over. God, he was terrible.

The whole offensive line. The interior of the line crumpled all afternoon, it seemed, and on the key third and two at the end, they couldn't do shit to give Starks a crease to salt the game away with a first down.

The defense - particularly those responsible for giving Philip Rivers enough time to order a meal before having to throw a pass. Pass rush? What's that?

Whoever it was that allowed the San Diego special teams player to nearly block two of Masthay's punts.

(Big) Weiners:

Starks was good.

Rodgers was very, very good.

The receivers were very, very good.

Masthay and Crosby were good.

Others? Weiners and loozers?

[mmmdk]

I'm with Fritz!

Also, Scott Wells is sooo underrated. I voted for him on the probowl ballot.

[Harlan Huckleby]

finley wasn't a weiner, but he sure was a hot dog. I imagine when he takes a dump, he calls anyone in earshot into the bathroom to see the wonderful thing he has done.

[KYPack]

Sheezus, I've got to "cover up" Harlan's comment. That's gross, blue hound.

Big Weiner was the crowd. 3rd largest in Charger history with many, many Packer fans. The boys in white were urging the crowd to make noise, forcing the Bolts to go with a silent count. Pack fans remained long after the game, cheering the G&G. Nobody travels like the Pack. So the crowd gets a big weiner, suitable for grilling.

Wouldn't Peprah qualify as a big weiner?*

*I had to miss most of the game because my kids were running amok all day long, and my wife finally got tired of wrangling and locked herself in her office, leaving me with three crazed children to manage. I did manage to see Peprah's pick six and his final why-doesn't-he-get-down long interception return. Whatever he did in between those two feats, on return yards alone he should be awarded a weiner.

[pbmax]

We had a report in the Game Day thread about Matthews limping, apparently a Tweet from Bill Michaels. I have seen nothing in any other report not any other tweet of this nature. Just the Zombo hammy issue. Anyone else have an update?

For the love of all things green and gold, put Peprah on the weiner list! Sheesh, I hope he got the game ball.

I have a preggo wife and a nutty 2 year old so I've been watching most games on the run.

[Pugger]

If the NFL Network reshows this game I'll watch Newhouse more closely. I suspect once (if) Cliffy returns he'll get his old job back pronto. Anybody know how he is doing?

MM said last week he is "multiple weeks" away from returning.

didn't he also give up like 3 td's though?

Congrats on the imminent addition. Prepare for it to get a whole lot worse. You might want to consider investing in a Tivo if you don't have one. Just be sure to keep the remotes out of sight.

i think AR was holding the ball too long yesterday on a lot of those sacks.

[Harlan Huckleby]

could be. But i think that was Rodger's best game ever. I say that becausr AR was throwing off his back foot, and threading the ball through defensive linemen most of the time. AR's accuracy under pressure was spaaaaaahshal.

I velcro them very close to the ceiling on the wall next to the TV. Its like a conch shell. If you can reach it and possess it, no one else may speak. :)

At first I thought you were describing a wonderful new child-control technique, not a strategy for controling the remote!

Only to be used in extreme situations, like Overtime.

The discipline to not throw into coverage under that kind of pressure, to either take the sack, get forward for a small gain, or scramble for positive yards is impressive. He just isn't making bad decisions right now. At all.

You can have a velcro wall installed in your home for child control. It's not just for parties anymore...

For the Pro Peprah enthusiasts:

GB 45 SD 38

Rodgers and the GB offense is unstoppable. Defenses are going to have to make some gambles and get lucky if they want to slow him down. Rivers made it a game, but that 3rd int was the dagger. Peprah was GB’s defender of the game with 2 ints for 0.33 +WPA and 13.7 +EPA. I know I throw these stats around a lot, but think about what that means—nearly 14 points of net score differential.

Thanks! I've always heard it was easier with two, not worse... I suppose that's not true when it comes to trying to watch a football game.

I might start getting Game Rewind next year in order to catch up on games.

I believe LBJ would do that when he was trying to intimidate a congressman into voting a certain way.

Both guys from Texas. Hmmm. Must be a Texas thing.

Depends on whether they fight all the time or get to be buddies....

Shades of 96...I was in the Kingdome that year and that was truly YOTTO. At least 60 percent of the crowd were Packer fans.

I remember reading that some of the Seattle players were pretty ticked off. Didn't the Packer crowd at one point force Seattle to call time out, or get a false start because of the crowd noise?

I think the major difference that two makes is that you and your spouse can't give each other breaks any more, at least not while they're really young. That means you will have to make a Packer fan of your oldest, if you haven't already done so. Not only do they add comraderie and make watching more fun, it's a lot easier to convince the wife that the game should stay on when one of the kids is clamoring for it.

Good memory, Freak. '96 a classic year all the way round.

Claymat started waving his arms and the crowd noise from all the Pack fans at the game was powerful. Rivers and the Chargers on the sidelines were really incredulous at the noise. The next series, SD went to their Oakland style silent count.

I get pretty "fan hypocritical" about crowd noise. When Pete Carroll exhorts the Seahawk fans, I think it's bush league. When Clay got our fans screaming, I thought it was totally cool.

Naaa....ALL lil kids (siblings) fight! They fight over toys, blankets, pillows, a spec of dust (:)), attention......everything! It's just what they do and it eventually brings them close and they have something to laugh about when they are older.

It's not till the teen years when the Buddy System comes into play and then it's us against them and we always have to try to be one step ahead of them! :)

[Gunakor]

Nick Collins. That's who. He made the calls. He made sure everyone was on the same page. Certainly can't blame him for hurting his neck and going on IR, but his not being there strikes me as the biggest reason for the frequent miscommunication.

Plus, when they are fighting they are learning valuable lessons about sharing, fairness, debating, arguing and manipulation. And if you can escort the argument to another room, gives you another 5 minutes of free time. :lol:

On how many of those sacks were the Packers unable to pick up the first down after?
