Studs

Aaron Jones - 12 rushes, 86 yards and a TD run that got Packers back in the game.

Devante Adams - 5 catches for 133 yards. Truly elite

MVS - 2 catches for 45 yards and a TD. Looking like a mid-round steal.

Blake Martinez - 12 total tackles, 1 sack, 2 TFL

Kenny Clark - Seems to cause disruption on almost every play.

Jaire Alexander - 5 passes defensed and 7 tackles. Gonna be a star.

Duds

Zook - 2 huge failures by ST. Gave up 1st down on fake punt, and Monty's decision.

JK Scott - 3 bad punts including the last one that basically handed Rams the winning field goal.

Monty!

How about stubby as a dud just for that dumbass call that resulted in the safety. Also for trying to throw on 3rd and a short 2, yet trying to run on 3rd and long.

The team will need to be on the brink of elimination before Jones gets the full time gig. See Williams pass block for long TD and Jones missing a pass block in first half.

I agree he should play more. But you lose more with a further injury to Rodgers than you do going from Jones->Williams.

or a-rod gets hit 31 times a game instead of just his usual 30 and jones ends up with 10 or so more carries per game

i think it was taylor that whiffed on a block that led to a sack, should he also not be in on passing plays?

should bulaga not be allowed on running plays after the way he had his ass handed to him on the safety?

its just nuts to me that we can't get the ball in the hands of the 2nd or 3rd best threat on offense, when all you have to do to get him more touches his to put him on the field and hand him the damn ball

I wonder if they'll be more willing to go with Jones more if Rodgers gets back to full mobility. Right now Rodgers' lack of escapability makes the blocking back more important.

Zook is a dope who should be shown the door but I don't blame him for the fake punt. That was just a great call by the Rams. Plus they didn't get anything out of it in the end.

You're probably right. I wonder if we need a blocking FB too. Bring up one of the 2 on the PS and send Monty packing.

Because limiting Jones and doing things the way they are is burning up the league? Funny how other great QB's in the NFL like Brady and Brees have coaches that want to win even if it means running or short passes. Yet stubby refuses to do that and people still think he's great.

Studs - Aaron Jones and Alexander on defense.

Duds - rest of team and coaching staff. We have yet to put together a complete game on offense, defense, and special teams. This team is frustrating to watch to say the least.

10-28-2018, 10:46 PM
Maybe I'm like a broken record, but the whole O Line, with the possible exception of Linsley, are DUDS - perpetual duds. Yeah, at times today they were better than usual, but the only way they weren't DUDS is horribly low expectations. Lane Taylor and Bulaga were particularly bad. They stand out as especially bad when the other team has a good O Line.

Scott was a dud today. Montgomery shouldn't even be on the team after his colossally duddish performance.

Most of our D was Studs today. Martinez, Clark, and Daniels, of course. Lowery was decent. Fackrell had some moments, as did Gilbert. Did Nick Perry even play? If so, I guess he would qualify as a dud. Jaire Alexander was excellent. Whitehead was decent considering low expectations.

Aaron Rodgers was Aaron Rodgers - you just can't say better than that. Davante Adams - who several years ago I didn't like - is approaching superstar status. MVS and ESB are gonna be star players too, sooner rather than later. Aaron Jones was decent, maybe better than decent.

I'm rapidly coming around to being a Pettine fan, although he shoulda used that jailbreak blitz more and found away to counter the Rams counter to it.

As for McCarthy, I'm not quite ready to hop on the Fire McCarthy train yet, but I'm getting there.

There should have been three aggressive shots down the field. If they fail, I can live with that.

What I can't live with is Stubby's all too predictable dink, run routine.

He needs to be replaced 12 minutes and 36 seconds after our season ends. I've completely bailed on his ass.

It's a passing league. Packers basically played a defense that dared the Rams to beat them with running the ball, a relying on dominant corners, and a good D-line interior. Shut down the pass and you can take gut punches all day.

I dunno if you’re being sarcastic, and I know that stats are for losers, but the O was more out of sync in the 1st half than a Brooks Bollinger-led offense with that smash mouth shit, scoring only 8 points (-2 for the stupid safety). 2nd half, Pack ran only 4 times. O was more in sync than N’Sync in its prime. Jones’ homer was set up by the pass.

Want to run all day? Sign Brooks Fucking Bollinger!!!

This was a tough loss and I didn't expect Packers being in a possible winning situation vs Rams but it wasn't just the stupid fumble by Ty; it was evident during the first half that the Packers D had come to play...yet the offense was slow and play calling was the usual Stubby style which is the lack of smart playcalling. Packers offense were not on the same page aggressively as the Packers D; Packers should have scored 17-21 points in the first half and only giving up a TD. I want Stubby gone - NOW! The season is an 8 wins season at best anyway. Show some life, dear Green Bay Packers, and show that you care about winning now and that being average (plus way below average without AR) isn't good enough. Packers doesn't deserve a 4th HOF in the future; they need to learn to win as a team. Bye Stubby!

It worked in the 1st half. Pack O was out of sync due mainly to that smashmouth shit. Had the Pack fucked the run and threw a million times, Pack would've been up 35-8 at the half, rendering Gurley irrelevant in the 2nd half.

Fuck the run, especially with the Great Arm of Butte at QB.

Stubby drives me crazy but he did have this bunch of misfits ready to play yesterday.

I think the interior of the O line had big time problems with the Rams front and that is why our offense sputtered at times.

stephen A made a really good point today, i usually don't listen to him because i don't like being yelled at all the time, but he did make a good point

he said that monty and the return team are told that he needs to take a knee, ball is kicked off all the blockers are running downfield, and they see monty is gonna get it in the endzone. at that point they are expecting him to take a knee and that there is no need for them to turn around and start blocking, but then he brings it out and all the blockers are not expecting it causing the short return before the fumble.

i'm wondering whats taking so long to get rid of him, and i've been a monty fan, but you just can't keep a guy on the team that does something like this

and who do you guys think was the unnamed teammate who called him a fucking joke? i'm guessing mike daniels

In doubt the Packers will get rid of him, he will be the best option when inevitably a RB gets hurt this year.

Monty is not going anywhere this season, not even to the fucking doghouse. Dumb Mike is just not a disciplinarian and he doesn’t preach accountability. The only player willing to publicly question McCarthy about that got shipped to Cleveland.

Sitton wasn’t cut b/c he fucked up badly on the field. He was coming off an all pro and/or pro bowl season and probably told the brasses to either pay him or go fuck themselves, which in a league of big, supposedly, heterosexual boys, doesn’t warrant termination.

I just can't tell. Was there more going on than we know? That seems key - the behind the scenes stuff. Maybe it was pretty bad and unrecoverable. Not assigning blame; sometimes divorce is the only way.

I like my theory that this was a shot across the bow to McCarthy. Play Jones, stop fooling around with triple backs.

Its clean, its simple, its very insidery, fits into 140 characters. I am going to leak it to Rap Sheet.

I'll bet you just stole the idea from Cleft Crusty.

I thought Cleft Crusty & pbmax were the same guy with two accounts.

There’s always more going on. As fans we only get scraps of information and then have to extrapolate (read: make shit up) from those thin slices.

The data on Ted's drafts is in, it isn't a question of liking him. He went to seed.
But what frosts me about Gute is that when he unseated Ted he promised there would be so much winning that we would be tired of winning.

Belichik doesn't have authority to cut Brady. Hence why Jimmy G was traded against his wishes.

Uhhhh, tank made a prediction that proved wrong. Big fucking deal. I made the same prediction - I thought Packers would keep Monty through this season. I have mixed feelings about what they did because of the lack of depth now at RB, but it is a good move.

The cowardly Mean Girls are swarming on APB. Hope he spits on your burger.

I dunno if you’re being sarcastic, and I know that stats are for losers, but the O was more out of sync in the 1st half than a Brooks Bollinger-led offense with that smash mouth shit, scoring only 8 points (-2 for the stupid safety). 2nd half, Pack ran only 4 times. O was more in sync than N’Sync in its prime. Jones’ homer was set up by the pass.

Want to run all day? Sign Brooks Fucking Bollinger!!!

Uh....second half offense was set up by establishing the run

stephen A made a really good point today, i usually don't listen to him because i don't like being yelled at all the time, but he did make a good point

he said that monty and the return team are told that he needs to take a knee, ball is kicked off all the blockers are running downfield, and they see monty is gonna get it in the endzone. at that point they are expecting him to take a knee and that there is no need for them to turn around and start blocking, but then he brings it out and all the blockers are not expecting it causing the short return before the fumble.

i'm wondering whats taking so long to get rid of him, and i've been a monty fan, but you just can't keep a guy on the team that does something like this

and who do you guys think was the unnamed teammate who called him a fucking joke? i'm guessing mike daniels

Going with haha
