  • Studs and Duds - Playoff Edition - GB vs Minn

    What a fantastic game. The Packers held the Vikings in check all game except the Vikings first drive and a busted coverage late in the fourth. The weather was perfect for a January night game. I was nice and toasty all game.

    Studs:
    DuJuan Harris - Played his heart out again for the Pack. While the holes weren't there in the running game for most of the night, DuJuan got the most he could and was a threat out of the backfield as the Pack nickle and dimed the Queens all game.

    Sam Shield - He has all over the field and I think he was our leading tackler for the night.

    ARod - Great night. Used his check down all night and torn the Vikings apart using the 5 yard throw. Held the ball too long in certain situation but in a game where the only way the Vikings could win was by turnovers it was OK.

    Duds:
    I will let you guys decide this. I didn't really care as the Packers were cruising up 24-3 in the second half. Other than the busted coverage the Pack D played well. The O played well when it matter. It would have been nice to pick up a few more first downs in the second half running but by that time the game was well in hand.

    Other:
    The refs - Is there going to be one close call all year that the refs give to GB so the other team has to challenge and not us to get it right? That's three calls in the last two weeks that the refs fucked up. We challenged two and got two TDs and the third we didn't have a TO to challenge the pass that clearly hit the ground.

    Lambeau Field - It was rocking in Lambeau last night. Extremely loud. It was the first time that I remember that when we did the Go Pack Go! chant the sound actually echoed off the other side of the bowl. We had a few Viking fans in the section around us. One old guy had an ALL DAY sign. By the third quarter the whole section was going ALL DAY after the Pack would stuff AP for a 2 yard gain. I also got an "Ass Sack" chant going on Clay Matthews sack.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Studs-
    Walden - aside from one play when he lost outside contain, this might have been his best game as a professional. looked like a monster out there.
    Shields - awesome out there, throwing his body around, solid coverage
    Harris - just provides a different element. the difference between him and grant is staggering.
    MM - not a big fan of his 4th quarter turtle offense, I was very happy to see the short game in tact for the first time all year like he was saving his cover 2 beater for the playoffs. screens and dump offs ... Love it!

        yeah, lets call hawk a dud because he was the only guy on the field that noticed that the entire secondary had just let a WR run right past them to the endzone

            Really liked seeing Harris in the passing game, aside from the first series . That was one aspect of his game we haven't seen much of and he looked capable there. If he can continue to get first downs there, he's going to give opposing defenses something to think about.

              DL all played well but Raji is really starting to shine as a disruptive force again.

                Stud - Chuck. Difference maker. Getting after the QB, slicing in to get a TFL on Peterson.

                Single play observation: quiet day from Finley, but he had a devastating block on a purple DE, basically launching him into irrelevance for the play. Nice help for Barclay.

                    Woodson definitely deserves to be mentioned with the studs.

                      Finley was interferred with in the end zone on that one 'drop'. You could see the queen was tugging on his jersey well before the ball got there and it probably messed up the timing on that play.

                        Woodson. He's an upgrade at safety right now. They'll need that for a stretch run.

                        I'll even forgive the forthcoming Defensive Holding penalty that extends a drive. Although the refs seem to be laying off those this year.

                          So was the Game Day prediction of Packer carnage the Patlerized version of the Whammy (tm) or an actual prediction?
                          Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                            Studs:

                            Woodson, simply more decisive and better tackler than his replacements. Though this comes at a cost: he is going to get burned deep eventually.

                            Walden/Moses: really stood up well this game after struggling last week. Walden esp. kept his outside leverage.

                            Jennings: He's back. far more like mid-season form that his return last year.

                            Agree with rest.


                            Six of one, half dozen of the other

                            Hawk: Second game in a row he was getting blocked well but he did hold up in the hole this time and was not hung out to dry like last week by teammates. So overall very ordinary.

                            Jones: Still can be late to the hole and let Webb spin out for a big gain early. But his coverage deep will help versus VD and 9ers.


                            Duds

                            Several players: Deep coverage left few guys open again.

                            Second half offense. Need a first down boys. They did get one at the end, but it took too long.

                              A few? Try a lot. Stadium was full of Queens. They weren't rude like Eagles or Giants fans; very humble - at least at the section I was at. After Jennings made a nice catch in the 2nd quarter, one guy behind me was like, 'Nice catch; Jennings' gonna look good in purple next season.'

                              Mice:

                              2nd half offense - 6 punts in a half ain't gonna do it against SF or Atlanta. Did not take advantage of turnovers. Did not take advantage of good field positions. I probably will stop watching the game after the first series of the 2nd half when I review it on the DVR.
