Mice & Men - Bears II

[hoosier]

I know Charles Woodson didn't play on Sunday but think he still makes the "Men" category for his postgame commentary:

"Those guys don’t really hate us; we feel like they’re in awe of us, the way we respond as a team and not as individual guys out there. We just wanted to come in and show them what a real team is all about."

They're a couple of bumblefucks. The Packers at one time were running behind a line of EDS, Outhouse, Lang, Saturday, Sitton, Barclay, and Van Rotten, and those two losers were so busy chatting about some inanity that they missed it. They glanced over missed alignments and other interesting bits that add some depth to the game as well. They are pretty superficial and boring, so I do agree that they are a lot like John Madman and Pat Underall.

Sorry, Rand, I wasn't around when Dandy Dan and Frank Gifford or whoever were calling games.

Madden and Summerall: G.O.A.T. Aikman and Buck are a close second; they're the best today.

Quit bitching. Aikman and Buck called something like 300 straight Packer games in 2010. The Packers ended up winning the SB.

this list should tell you all you need to know about #88

5 catches for 60 yards = BEAST MODE, and STUD!!!!!!!!!

for him, yes, its a big improvement. compared to the rest of the nfl, his monster game was a pretty average day for a lot of TE's out there

J-Mike would be putting up record-breaking numbers in a TE-happy offense like New England's. Hell, Brady is making an average TE in Aaron Hernandez look like Tony Gonzalez.

non sequitur.

Madman, Underall, Eichmann, and Uncle Buck all suck.

Harlan and Gannon are actually pretty good; but I don't need home cooking for the Packers.

[Freak Out]

Does that mean Aikman would make a better GM?

Now that's a question we need answered. How awesome would that be if Detoilet hired him?

Kuhn is there on 3rd down because he's the only one who can pick up a blitz.

He is whiffing on blocks more this year and the plow he's been pulling his entire career looks to have gotten heavier. Need a new FB/HB next season.

Kuhn has struggled with injuries since the playoff game last year. His knee(?) was still a problem in TC and the early season. Midseason, he suffered "Packer leg syndrome" (hamstring problems). He's 30 years old and could be nearing the end as an effective player in his role.

OK that's the sort of post that endears you to all.

but....Who are John Madman and Pat Underall. A couple of British football announcers?

Not sure about Madman, but I think Pat Underall is Lacey's uncle.

You should get Fox to steal Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon away from CBS. The two hardly ever criticize the Packers. Harlan because his daddy used to rule the Packers. Gannon because McCarthy helped him earn millions playing in the NFL.

It's not that they criticize or don't criticize the Packers. It's because when they miss or choose to ignore the obvious and it has YOU as the viewer scratching your head asking "what the fuck are they looking at?" that makes the broadcast suck. I had no problem when they called out McCarthy on the 4th quarter punt/lateral/fumble return. That was OBVIOUS a very stupid call at that particular time and place of the game. Sometimes I think they talk just for the sake of talking and it adds nothing to the game. Ray Scott, where are you?

Ohh Lordy....add a FB to the wish list.

Let's see.... we need at LT and Safety and TE and 'now' FB and it seems all that's OK. Never really having a need at RB sure will/has helped.

True trash talk is the best trash talk. After winning, of course.

Bobby is already backtracking from his sources position: from his Game Rating column

Jermichael Finley was outstanding as a receiver, catching five of six balls (he was in the clear 18 yards downfield on the incompletion, but Aaron Rodgers threw behind him) and wasn't spotted by Rodgers several other times. He ran a nice stop-and-go against MLB Nick Roach. He beat WLB Lance Briggs on a 31-yard seam route in which he ran over SS Major Wright to gain 12 after the catch. He beat Chris Conte inside on a WR slant for 8 on third and 2. And he showed fast feet to beat Wright as a WR on an exact up-out-in route for 8 on fourth and 2. For the eighth game in nine starts Finley (57 snaps) didn't have a drop.

I wonder how big the caveat "starts" is here because Fin's dropless streak doesn't seem that long to me. I wonder how many games he has come off the sideline for the second play.

Hernandez had a case of the Finley's Sunday night.

i wonder how most of these guys come up with their "drops" numbers

i remember in one game where finley had like 3 throws hit in in the hands, then chest then face and the next day they talked about him having just one drop

you can take his drop number and multiply it by 2 and call it "passes he should have easily caught but somehow didn't"
