Studs and Duds – Week 17, 1/1/2012
Studs:
Matt Flynn - What can you say? He just has “It!” Matt goes 31/44 for 480 yards, 6TDS and 1 INT. Both the yards and TDs are franchise records. The Pack was trailing by 3 with less than 2:30 and Flynn drives the team down the field for a TD and the win. Flynn, in his second game as a starting QB, shows that he can bring his team back in the 4th something Pack fans have ragged on ARod for years. Luckily the D was able to hold to finish the game or Flynn’s late heroics would have been for not.
Jordy Nelson - 9 catches for 162 yards and 3 TDs. Not only did he make big play after big play, Jordy had a big block on Grant’s 80 yard TD reception that turned a 30 yard gain into a touchdown. The stiff-arm to get into the end zone for his first TD was a thing of beauty.
Duds:
Patrick Lee – Wow, Patrick Lee shows why drafting Cobb was a huge importance to our team if he only played on special teams alone. Patrick Lee dropped both kickoffs that touched him in the first half and contributed to the quick 9-0 lead that Detroit got out to. TT, please find a CB in the draft to put this guy off of our roster once and for all.
Packer D – I know we rested Woodson and Mathews but we still gave up 41 point and 575 yards. Burnett flashed at times, as did Bishop and Jones but the defense as a whole was poor. Hawk dropped too deep on 1 Lion’s TD and watched the receiver catch the ball in the end zone 4 yards in front of him.
Bishop and Walden – Special mention for their sheer stupidity. Walden hits Stafford after Stafford is sacked and then Bishop hits Stafford after the Lions get called for a false start penalty. Desmond there was no reason to get any where near the QB. I know Stafford is getting calls from MLS after his acting job but you have to know that is going to be called.
Other Notes:
Suh is a classless player. He does the Rodger’s belt move after he sacked ….. Flynn? What an idiot! If he had sacked ARod I could understand (I guess) but you sacked the Packers 2nd string QB who was lighting your D up.
The Refs and Instant Replay - Refs started to lose control of the game. If you are going to call Walden and Bishop for personal fouls you have to call Cherilus for hitting Williams late after the play. The play got very chippy at the end with pushing matches after a lot of plays. The refs needed to nip that at the bud as soon as that started. I am not sure what to say about instant replay. I think I disagreed with almost every call the refs made after review (except the DET fumble because you couldn’t see the ball).
Do you franchise Matt Flynn after today’s performance? I would hate to see Flynn walk away with at best a compensatory pick in the 2013 draft. You figure we should get a 1 or a high 2 and another pick in a trade. That could be a couple of extra picks to draft DL and OLB.
I’ll leave my BB comments out of this because I see another thread has already been created on this topic!
