McGinn's Game Tape

[pbmax]

He has now called Aaron Rodgers the difference in the game twice, and neither was a compliment, obviously. Maintains that the playoff game must have affected him as evidenced by the early INT on a bad decision and bad throw. Later he started holding on to the ball to long again. Clocked 4 of the 5 sacks at over 4 seconds. Fifth was 3.3 sec.

- Gave Collins and Bigby each two missed tackles, said game exposed Bigby for his limitations but might have been Collins worst game of the year. TWill looked non-physical and even Woodson shut it down with no chase of Fitz on 33 yd TD and strip attempt non-tackle later. Bush he kills, but no stats. Does say Bush was one of the victims of bad plays on receivers in bunches.

- Sitton had a whale of game against Dockett and if score hadn't gotten lopsided, they could have run on them.

- Liked Grant, calls him a playoff caliber back. One note of mine, Colledge's holding call nullified Grant's pass catch I think. But it was nice to see him make a catch and yardage, even if for naught.

- Radio had Becht neutralizing Jones. McGinn has Levi Brown. I believe Bob.

- Chillar and Barnett struggled in coverage.

- Good grades - receivers except Driver's dropsies, QB, RBs, O Line, ST and kickers.

- Will be repeating Year 2009 - Secondary, D line and Linebackers.

Rodgers had a very solid game. He was stellar. He's gotta make that pass at the end though. It's the pass that puts QB's in the elite level Gosh if he'd have hit that bomb for 80yds think of all the love he'd be getting with over 500 yards passing and the game winner. Patler has stated pretty much how I feel several times in here so I won't go on.

NON OBVIOUS GUYS I WAS DISAPPOINTED IN THAT HAVE NOT BEEN NOTED

1. Cullen Jenkins- Gotta get some pressures from him in a big game; he seemed invisible

2. BJ Raji- I know he's a rook but he seemed non existent as well. No push at all up the middle. Beanie Wells averaged about seven yards a carry.

3. Pickett came off an injury so not sure how much we can expect, but he was a non factor


IT STARTS WITH THOSE GUYS UP FRONT

Their OL kicked the asses of our DL and as a result we were defenseless

I'm sorry but I read that article and it is garbage.

If Rodger's performance is only a 3/5 then I don't know what McGinn expects from a QB.

I'd give Rodgers a 4 for sure; he played very well. He gets a five if he doesn't miss the wide open deep balls. Content wise I have no issues with the article. As always Bob always overdoes the slant a bit

He also notes Jones was pushed around all day and the DL struggled as well

Honestly when you give up over 40pts on D it's probably hard to find anybody on that side who even played average.

Interesing that Matthews was double teamed almost half of the time

Re: McGinn's Game Tape

Silverstein's article wasn't exactly complimentary either. He made it sound like A-Rod had all the time in the world to throw the ball away.

Getting a little tired of the nit-picking guys like McGinn and Vandermause (GBPressGazette) that find a way to be negative about Rodgers. He was responsible for the first horrific INT of the game. After that, the only thing he really did wrong was miss Jennings in OT. McGinn is sharp, but over the past few years his commentary is getting a little tiresome. I hold him in higher regard than Bedard & Nickel, but that's not saying much.

I don't expect a rah-rah type of reporting, but let's stop bashing the kid already. If he makes that throw to GJ, the guy is on a pedestal....

[Bretsky]

missed a wide open Jennings on a throw that should have been a TD in quater one as well DD.

Bob seems to nitpick the timing of the sacks too much IMO

To me his four bad plays were the 1st, the last (didn't read the blitz), and the two long balls

Regardless his play was stellar

[LEWCWA]

Thats what I didn't get. Once they got the score tied and into ot, why not run the ball down their throats. It seemed they could run the ball at will. I can't complain too much though as a perfect play was called, Jennings was wide open deep and Arod choked! The guy played an awsome game, but came up short, when it mattered most. Did the situation get too big for him? It seemed when Greenbay was chasing them all day and the pressure was off, he played great. As soon as the pressure was ratcheted up again, choke job!

[Bretsky]

I have a hard time calling it a choke; it was just a bad throw.

It was his first playoff game; he was probably jittery in quarter one and that was partially why he got off to the poor start

A 4 I can agree with. I just think McGinn is being a little ridiculous. I mean shit, Rodgers went like 8 straight possessions knowing the offense had to score every time down to maybe have a chance and was almost flawless.

And ya, I also noticed right away the Cardinals were chipping or doubling CM3 a lot.

[LEWCWA]

I guess thats my definition of choke. Play was there to be made and well it wasn't. I understand what your saying though. Everyone chokes at some point, imo. This one was extra painful. Why does Greenbay seem to have to lose in such fassion so much? I guess it means they are in the games at least, but boy they sure know how to tear your heart out, while it is still beating!

[Freak Out]

WTF? The guy leads a team back after it was down 31-10 in the 3rd and still gets shit on.

I'm not shitting on Rodgers. He played well, but didn't make the big play to win the game. It is what it is. Nobody cuts Lefty (Phil) any slack when he chokes on the back nine on sunday of a major. They don't talk about all the great shots he made to be in that position thurs-sat, only that he choked sunday.

No one is saying YOU shit on Rodgers. It was McGinn doing all the defecating...

Sorry...that was directed at Mcginn.
