Winners and Losers

[MJZiggy]

Winners and losers? I'll just say this: If I ever meet Daryn Colledge, I'm going to kick him in the balls so hard, he'll be singing soprano for a week.

Colledge had a pretty good game. If you are complaining about the sack of Rodgers in the 4th quarter on 3rd and 14, it was Wells that missed the blitzing linebacker to help double on the defensive tackle. Wells blew it, Colledge picked up the blitzing safety. Aikman didn't know what the fuck he was talking about.

So go kick someone else in the nuts.

The Winners,
Brandon Jackson
Woodson(obvious)
Pat Lee, low expectation makes it easier to succeed
Bishop
Hawk
Mathews
Jenkins


Lossers
Wide receivers
Rodgers
Clifton
McCarthey

I'm talking about Rodgers running for his life and I look back and there's Colledge on his knees watching the D go by. I have no idea what Aikman had to say about it because I was at the game.

Or was it the play where Orakpo flew by Clifton and Colledge tried to chip an outside rusher from his interior line position?

I don't know, but somebody over there is getting kicked in the balls.

I'd put in Hall as a winner. He had a couple of nice tackles on special teams and won the coin toss in OT. It was about the clutchest thing that anyone did all day.

I'm not convinced that the defense played well at all. McNabb was inaccurate and their offensive line was injured and shitty. They wouldn't have scored 20 on anybody. That said the individual players played pretty well. Bishop was great, Hawk is better than Chillar IMO, Peprah filled in nicely, Pat Lee finally got involved and had a good game.

Dom was unimpressive today. Other than the great blitz that he called up on a critical 3rd down, his game plan was baffling. A three man rush has its place but it seemed to be called on multiple 3rd and long situations that were converted.

I don't like what Dom does with his personnel either. The Packers have Woodson and Williams, who great cover corners. Man them up and take their best weapons away. It seems too easy for opposing offensive coordinators to get whatever matchups they want. Run the defense to take advantage of your players' strengths.

Coaching gets the thumbs down for not adjusting to Wash. D's desparation blitzes.

I know it seems obvious - but I give coaching a thumbs down for not kicking the easy field goal early in the game - instead of going for it, and failing, on the 4th down and goal attempt. In hindsight, if we have those 3 points - we win the game in regulation.

Never leave points on the field early in a game especially when you have the lead.

2 Kickass thumbs down.

I remember that one. It was a total misread of protection. Rodgers had a couple of those. He looked brutal reading D in second half. But on the drive that gave Crosby a shot from 53, he did pick up an interior blitz, got it blocked and made a nice throw. Not sure why the other stuff was giving him fits.

I agree with that approach, especially on the road.

Winners:

Peprah, Matthews, Raji, Neal, Tramon & Collins. The defense as whole did really well. Collins was gutsy all day & Tramon is at pro bowl level.

Capers needs props.

BJ had a nice day when his number was called.

Bulaga showed # 1 promise even though he got away with holding more than once.

Loud road Packer fans - awesome. "KUHN"

Losers:

McCarthy and Rodgers; coach & play please. Much more is expected as a successful season is quickly becoming "just upset Bears & Vikings season".

G. Jennings - a bit harsh but he's a one or two trick receiver when stars are gone (Finley & Grant, yeah Grant would star right now for Packers).

DD - drops 4 on the day.

Chuck - penalties and only defender to really dissapoint.

Limbo:

Crosby - I jinxed Mason by saying he's good when I've been blasting him for nearly 2 seasons

D. Lee - fumble got Finley injured & TD saved him from making loser list. Got injured too.

I also want to point out - that I feel like Rogers had a few chances to pick up good yards and/or first downs with his legs, running for it after feeling the pressure. He's been criticized in the past for pulling it down and running too early, but today I feel like there were several opportunities that he missed had he used his wheels.

I could be wrong.

Jenkins had a good day I thought. Very good pass rush.

[Joemailman]

Jenkins has played amazingly well considering he's playing with one hand. I look forward to when he gets that cast off.

Tough loss - more because we're not able to go a quarter without some key personnel going down.

Unsung winners-
Raji/Neal - blowing up the Oline in the 2nd half
Bishop - maybe he'll get his shot to play like it's preseason
Peprah - some great tackles

D looked different without CMIII's motor. Can't believe all the hits McNabb took and no real INTs or fumbles (I don't count desparation heaves at end of half/games).

Disappointed that the O couldn't put up more points. The 3rd/4th/goal calls weren't well executed. That hurt (even if we ended up trading for a FG).

Wish the Pack would've tried a swing pass, sweep or screen when Skins were coming after ARod (especially in OT). I didn't like the adjustments (or lack thereof).

Can't fault Crosby - he nailed a 50+ yarder and hit the uprights on another. The 48yrder sailed a little right - so I'd say he was 'ok' but inconsistent (left, center and right).

Really (really) hope Finley and Arod are ok. CMIII's hammy looks like a holdover from preseason. Not worried about Lee after seeing the young TE stepup. Not too worried about Chillar/Barnett with Bishop (although I'm not a big Poppinga or Hawk fan).

This team needs some fortune and some health (and a solid W). The upcoming stretch of games has me worried that the team isn't peaking, isn't at full strength and will have to make a huge 2nd half run to make the postseason.

Oh boy - I didn't realize how piss poor we were on 3rd down (I had to DVR the game and just finished watching it). You take that and losing the turnover battle on the road - and that leads to a loss.

Just 2 of 13.
