All apologies to Nutz who started this tradition (I think) and to others who contributed to it in his absence. However, I didn't see one on the first pages of thread. Caveat, heard the first quarter on radio before parking on a couch for the rest of the game.
Winners:
Brandon Jackson - picked up some tough yards and was tough to bring down. In preseason he seemed far more decisive and today he reverted at times to hesitating when choosing a hole. Missed a couple of cutbacks but overall hard to complain.
Josh Sitton - Welcome to the Packers. Stand by for a Pro Bowl.
Jordy Nelson - Great running on kick returns and good ball security.
Clay Matthews - Sitton will accompany you to Hawaii this year. I never doubted you. OK, I did. Not anymore.
Zombo - Gets a mention if only for his first sack and of Vick, no less. Nice to see them trust him, though I think that had as much to do with fatigue as his readiness.
Tramon Williams - Not much on punt returns but solid in coverage.
Charles Woodson - Never have been happier to be proven wrong and I don't even mind you went to Michigan.
McCarthy - Sticking to running game even when it wasn't dominant. Good adjustment. Still like the full house backfield. No one in football runs the fullback dive like the Green Bay Packers. Probably a direct result of Sitton, but someone has to call the play. Good job.
First Half Sam Shields - Never heard your named called. Good work.
Losers
Second Half Sam Shields - Here is a tip rook: follow your receiver and don't look back until everyone screams to turn around.
Aaron Rodgers - Suddenly you are Prince Fielder with the slow start. Two ints, one may have slipped on a route adjustment off a blitz you weren't expecting but the other into triple coverage for Finley? Ooof.
Clifton and Tauscher - This pains me. Pass pro horrible. Everyone has bought into the Tauscher saved the O line last season and ignores McCarthy and Rodgers changes to the offense. Both of you got schooled and looked old and slow at times. Colledge outplayed you.
Blitzers - See QB. Hit QB. Take QB to ground. Stop sticking out an arm like you are flagging a taxi.
McCarthy - I do not like judging play calling. But two runs and a 3rd and long pass with over 5 minutes left and the Eagles with 3 timeouts? That isn't a four-minute offense we can believe in. Also, should have challenged the Eagles catch to the (TV's) far side of the field (Packer's side I think) in the fourth quarter. Not sure of the receiver, but that ball hit the ground and moved. You didn't need the TOs. Should have challenged.
