"Matthews clearly limping with hammy."

Clay has been sitting out a lot of practices.

Anyone notice Finley get that bad release in the endzone? AR was pissed.

Nelson and Jennings are the guys AR trusts.

AR was pissed that he threw the ball two yards oob.

HATE TO SAY IT...ABSOLUTELY HATE TO SAY IT....but I hope we win another title this year for DD because we need to move on w/o him. The ugly side of the biz.

Yeah, I think it's gonna be time. Steelers are going through the same thing with Hines Ward.

Exactly

Whoops...

[Pugger]

The opposing defense.

[Pugger]

between the refs, our d's miscommunication, and jordy not getting that onside kick, that ended up being more exciting than it needed to be.

Had Jordy got that onside kick we wouldn't have had to reach for a tums there and the game wouldn't have been close.

Why did he slap it forward? He should either just catch it, or slap it towards the sideline.

[Pugger]

It's been said before, but I'll say it again. Our D is hurting this year because we have not been able to replace Jenkins. It now is pretty clear that letting Jenkins go was a mistake. I don't blame TT, it was a tough call, and lord knows Cullen's injury history was likely a factor.

But in the end, it was a mistake. We're seeing the consequence of his absence in our inability to get to the QB.

Unfortunately I think we thought we could let Jenkins go and plug in Neal in his stead but poor Neal is almost always injured. Yes, I'm using hindsight but the decision to let CJ walk was a mistake.

[Pugger]

We're missing Collins and Jenkins right now. Raji is not the same pass rusher this year. (doubled a lot?)

Neal coming back, Tramon getting healthy and Burnett/Peprah getting on the same page could be enough to put them back on top. Starks missed his whole SR season in college with a shoulder, then missed much of his rookie year with the hammy. . . He came in, in the playoffs and gave us the running game we needed to dominate on offense.

There is no guarantee stamped anywhere saying the Packers pass rush/secondary will not improve.

It isn't helping us to have Burnett one-handed either. He is still basically a rookie and we are missing Collins' LEADERSHIP back there.

[Pugger]

Yeah but there were three calls against him that were dubious at best. Those penalties extended drives and gave the Chargers 10 points. If I'm Woodson, I am asking for an apology from the league. That was horse shit.

This.

Ryan Taylor had the best shot at that onside kick and it went between his legs somehow. Nelson had to fall/dive to reach it. Not sure why he thought batting it would be best, but Taylor should have had it first.

[Pugger]

Woodson is really good at making it look like he didn't do anything. All of those calls were legit. Woodson just made them look better than they were.

The game is slow for him. He does things on purpose (clearly IMO) but he's great at making it look incidental. He's two clicks ahead of just about every player in the NFL with playing the little games within the game. He might get beat by a better athlete, but he does a lot of things that make up for it.

Jennings and Rodgers are our other two brilliant players IMO.

There was one penalty on Woodson that drives me crazy. Gates stopped in the middle of his route and Woodson doesn't stop in time so he runs into Gates and Woodson gets the flag. IMO it was GATES who initiated the contact, not the defender. But the DB rarely gets that call.

And the contact had nothing to do with the incomplete pass. Those are the worst imo/

Donno. It took a funny bounce right before Jordy slapped it so another one of our guys missed the ball there too.
