Mice And Men - Lions

[George Cumby]

McCarthy disagrees with you:

QBR 106+ does not equal rodent.

[mmmdk]

Studs:

Hawk & Hayward!

Cobb & Finster!

Bush & Masthay!

Burnett & Walden!

Rodgers & Starks!

Duds:

MASON CROSBY!

OL & their penalties

Mediocre:

Nelson (critical & badly dropped pass)

[KYPack]

BTW, we need to kick Tank off this forum.

He is banned, now kick off his alter ego "Le Gand"

Jerron McMillan had a very solid game breaking up a couple passes including a key one in the Lions last series.

After all this time, you'd think Tank would have learned some footabll, but no, he's still the beaver

Ignore or have fun. Mad will take care of it if he gets totally outta control.

I thought McMillan was so so.

Tramon Williams looked like he was a bit freaked out by Megatron. Kinda reminded me of the way Roy Williams used to psyche himself out about The Predator. Couple of times Tramon completely turned his back and spun himself around: "Which way did he go, George, which way did he go??"

[MadtownPacker]

No way in hell Rodgers is a dud. That TD pass to Cobb alone makes it easy to decide.

Mice - Legand and KYPack

Men - ARod, Ayn and MTP

I know. I know that Megatron can make people look bad, but Williams really didn't seem to play well. On the big catch early on by Johnson, it looked like Williams had time to make a play on the ball, but he never did. Just watched McMillan try to fight with Johnson.

I also don't really like that MM criticized his own play calling. I was glad to see him finally calling some running plays to keep the Lions from pinning back their ears, although I was disappointed in the failure of the offensive line to open up any running lanes whatsoever. Starks got those yards on his own, man.

I believe the animal hierchy goes something like this:

Legand - Rat
KY - Man among men
MTP - Burro with two holes in his hat.

I'll ignore for awhile 'til Tank starts jacking every thread with his blather bullshit.

I agree, Starks gets little help from OL. Heck, any GB RB gets little help from this very, very below average OL. Stubby even calls out Starks in public...what is this? Serie A football?

I forgot to add Stubby to the duds! Poor clock management and the crazy Crosby crossover calls. Stubbster did call an ok game though.

Reminded me of Al Harris and Owens. Every game he'd talk himself up, then lay an egg.

Good comparison. Harris got pOwened.

Owens or Plaxico? I remember worst versus Plax.

[Guiness]

Owens or Plaxico? I remember worst versus Plax.

Plaxico is what I remember. Al Harris was strong, and bullied guys at the LOS. He ran into trouble when he met stronger - which Plaxico definitely was. Boldin too, IIRC. Harris wasn't fast and couldn't effectively switch to a different mode of coverage.

And yes, I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night

I thought that was one of A-Rod's most inaccurate games. The TD throw to Cobb wasn't so much a good throw as it was a good decision since both of the defenders had their heads turned and weren't playing the ball. That throw had a good chance of being defensive PI even if Cobb doesn't haul it in.

[sharpe1027]

The Oline did not do Rodgers any favors. While he did end up holding the ball a little longer on some of the sacks, if his first or second option was not open, it was almost a certain sack.

[LegandofthePack15]

McCarthy disagrees with you:

I guess its easy to look the other way when you're winning.

IMO, Rodgers didnt play particularly well the past two games against injury-depleted, mediocre defenses. Take away the game-winning drive vs. Detroit and Rodgers had a pretty average game. Rodgers himself admitted he didn't play well vs. Jacksonville.

Teams have found the blueprint for beating or at least containing the Packers' potent offense: rush only 4, play two safeties deep and dare the Packers to run.

You could blame McCarthy for his playcalling or the OL for their inability to open up holes and give Rodgers all day to throw against only 4 rushers or the rbs' inability to make plays. But a great qb makes everyone around him better. Not saying Rodgers is not great as he certainly is elite. The offense just isn't as "potent" as it should be lately and it starts with Rodgers.

Favre used to make everyone around him better all the time. The same is expected out of Rodgers.
