Studs and Duds

[red]

hey....the new punter, jack frost, was a stud too.

he kicked very well tonight

Bigby as Stud, he came clutch with that Pick.. Dagger

Although, why the hell couldn't he just sit his ass down and end the game.

ya, that stuck in my craw a bit too. that is a major mental error. you wonder if the coaches talk to these guys sometimes.

The refs were definitley the duds of this game. A lot of those penatly calls (on both sides) weren't very good. The interference calls on Harris and Williams are two exambles of some very bad calls.

No kidding, they were the real duds !!

Maybe they just walked in off the street and offered to ref the game...

Studs--Jared Allen. $31 Million/1 tackle. :P

[Cheesehead Craig]

KGB was bad against the run, we knew that coming in. But he got some decent pressure and forced TJack out of the pocket at times. He doesn't deserve Dud status.

It's pretty hard to have duds when you win against a top notch team.

The closest thing to it was Brandon Jackson along with KGB--KGB is like a hitter in baseball with "warning track power". He almost always almost gets there.

Stud (obvious): Rodgers, Grant, Jennings, Hawk, Woodson, Blackmon, the whole D Line--I think they read the clippings about how good the Vikings D Line was and they weren't).

Studs (less obvious): Popinga, Korey Hall (FB AND special teams), Mike Montgomery (I've always liked that guy), Jason Hunter (special teams), Tory Humphrey, Donald Driver (like always), Nick Collins and Atari Bigby (SOMEBODY sure was doing the job in centerfield), and Nick Barnett--second half especially.

The O Line had its moments against a really tough D, but generally was not executing as well as it should have.

Dud: Michael Wilbon. On PTI he gave Ted the nickname, Ted "I know more about football than everyone else" Thompson after the Favre trade.

My next screen name will be "Smarter Than Wilbon"!

[Scott Campbell]

Studs--Jared Allen. $31 Million/1 tackle. :P

I'll drink to that!

[Joemailman]

Blackmon for stud!!! (and whoever made that last block for him too)

Jason Hunter.

Also thought Nick Collins played very physical tonight.

Dude, if you don't take it as somethign, I'm takin' it as my sig

What a great night for Packer fans!!!!

Maybe you're right. He's as close to a dud that we had out there tonight though.

Tony Moll didn't play very well. The rest of the O-Line held up pretty well against a very good defensive line.

i'm not so sure about this. Moll got two penalties for illegal man downfield, but it turns out neither were his fault. I think he played well against top competition. But it is hard to say, I just noticed a few plays.

Not his fault? Why not?

[MJZiggy]

Because he thought they were run plays and Rodgers took the pass option attached to them. Happened once or twice last season too. The only ones who know the pass is coming are the QB and receiver.

they were plays where he was supposed to block downfield after a short time interval. a quick pass or run option. (that's what Larry McCarren thought, Arod waited too long to throw.)

[Guiness]

Hey blue dog, since you're hanging out here...

Also, who knew that Jermichael Finley could play defensive tackle!? Maybe a star was born tonight out of the ashes of the packers desperate lack of depth.

Did that really happen????
