Mental blunder

Packers defensive lineman Johnny Jolly didn’t exactly apologize for the ill-timed personal foul penalty for head-butting Viking running back Chester Taylor after a play late in the first quarter. It turned a Vikings’ fourth-and-10 situation at the Packers’ 14-yard line into first-and-goal at the 7. Three plays later, the Vikings took a 7-3 lead on Peterson’s touchdown run.

Taylor had just been dropped for a five-yard loss when Jolly bumped him as he was walking off the field. After passing Taylor, Jolly turned back and delivered the head butt.

Asked if he was too aggressive in that situation, Jolly said, “I play like that every game. It ain’t going to change. The next game, I’m going to be out there playing hard. It is what it is. It didn’t cost us the game. They made the call. Deal with it. So be it.”

I guessing he'll get coached even aggressively than he plays over this comment.

Dumb move on Jolly's part. Hope he gets ripped a new one. I was so pissed off about that penalty, especially after the D made a nice stand after the long KO return. That was a serious momentum killer and for him not to recognize that is disturbing.

I'd heard from people who were at the game, though, that an OLineman from minny ran in and tackled Jolly after that incident and should've drawn an offsetting.

I'm not saying it cost us the game but if he doesnt make that bone head foul its a completely different game IMO.

From MM:

It sounds like Johnny and I will have a conversion shortly.

Hopefully MM can execute a successful new asshole ripping and use it to turn around the coaching for the rest of the season.

If Jolly can't see the correlation between penalties like this and losing games on a team as highly penalized as the Packers, I don't much hope of the team's sloppy, stupid play ending any time soon.

[mraynrand]

Stubby needs to get control of his team, with the penalties and discipline. If he doesn't reign in Jolly, he's going to be some offensive coordinators bitch next year.



P.S. I'm googling McCarthy (forgot the Mike) and all I get are porn pics.

[Sparkey]

Should make him inactive for the Bucs game as punishment.

That's an absurd claim that I will investigate immediately.

I hope Jolly has to run every step in Lambeau Field all the while thinking about what he's done, until he barfs up that attitude.

I agree that it was a dumb move my jolly. i was cussing the TV after the play. however, i don't think it was a game changer. if you think about it probably only a one point change in the score. If they kick the fg there, chilly probably doesn't go for it on 4th and 1 and kicks the other FG.

[Freak Out]

Who was the O-lineman that got schooled when the last Packer legend (Walrus) came back with the Seahawks for the first time? I remember he got thrown out after pushing back after getting shoved by an certain asshole LB.

I remember Holmgren grabbing Schroeder's face mask. That had not happened in pro football in a long time.

I remember this too. We're bonding.

That was Earl Dotson. The weird thing was, Dotson seemed like a pretty easy going guy except for that one play. I wonder what Holmey had on him....
