Heroes & Goats

My earlier post contained my admittedly fan-ish observations. I do want to clarify: I'm not suggesting Jones is as good as gone, or useless, or any of that. I was just quite surprised I didn't see him more.

I also want to say Greg Jennings is frickin' incredible. That dude could catch a 90 mph medicine ball thrown away from his body while a thug points a gun at Jennings's head and a hot stripper plays with his thang and the fog rolls in from the bay.

As for my earlier ranting about firing Slocum, well, I'll get that cleaned up this week.

Watch your pad level too, you waist bender.

i was wondering about this, is lee really fast, or does cobb not have a top gear?

there were a lot of guys from both teams running with him on that play.

the good thing is he can go from zero to full speed in like 1 step, and not slow down while cutting, but he might not have that top gear

like barry sanders

Plus, he's got this going for him:

I know. Bend at the knees, keep your feet moving. I'll get that cleaned up with my practice posts this week.

The Falcons and the Chargers are the next toughest offensive teams the Packers will have to play. Maybe Tampa if they can put it together. We won't face San Diego in the playoff until the Superbowl. I have a hard time believing the Packer defense won't look a lot better going forward, and will only struggle against a handful of teams. I'm pretty sure ATL and NO don't see the Packers as an 'easy out' in the playoffs.

I personally think that KC and Tampa could both be tougher than the Falcons. The Falcons have some talent but last years record record wasn't indicative of their team IMO. But, maybe their luck just won't run out for 10 years like a certain team from Chicago.

He's obviously not a complete burner but I think his speed is comparable to Jennings in that he just plays so fast. I don't think the end of the KOR is that telling of his speed compared to Lee. Lee caught him from behind and then actually went past him. 0.1/forty difference isn't going to create that slingshot effect... Cobb felt comfortable with his wall of Packers and wasn't going 100% at the very end.

Crazy tho that Cobb never took a KO back to the house in college...

KC is a joke against us IMO

watch that return again, i just did

cobb is running as hard as he can. jordy is ahead blocking, lee is moving faster, bush is catching up, quarless, green, and williams are just behind him and keeping up and if you watch real close you can also see crabtree keeping up just behind those 3

You know, it literally just showed on NFLN and I might have to change my tone a bit...

They are capable of self destructing, but they can rush the passer enough that I would be wary of them. Crennel is legit on the D side of the ball. Not saying they are better, but capable of a surprise.

I'm not sure any team is a "joke" against the Packers. Don't you all remember all those nail biters and those losses to world-beaters Miami and Washington last season?

I can see Hali giving Clifton a lot of trouble in that game.

So Finley was a hero in the first half, but where did he go in the second?

we saw this alot last year when finley was out, so i don't think we can put any blame on him

many times last year we came flying out of the gates and completely dominated the first half. then it almost seems like we take our foot off the gas and just try and hang on

we got the ball 5 times in the second half last night.

one was the cobb return.

one was the very long drive in the 4th after we stopped them on 4th and went 90 yards or so for a TD

one drive was 7 plays for 17 yards. took almost 5 minutes off the clock, we must have been running a lot then.

the other 2 series were 3 and outs

besides one drive in the 4th, we went away from what was working in the first half. and that's one thing that drove me ape shit bout stubby last year, come out completely dominating, then half way through we stop doing that and just cruise

its like usain bolt flying out to a huge lead over the first 50 meters, then jogging the last 50 and just holding on

Someone needs to remind him at halftime.

Someone needs to remind him at halftime.

maybe the team should put a shock collar around his neck and when he starts to get complacent maybe someone like rodgers or kevin green can hit the button and give him a little jolt to wake him back up
