The VERY Stinky Pinky

[Fritz]

Okay, people, it's time for the Stinky Pinky Award once again. Yessirree Bob, the Packers intermittently stunk up the joint often enough and long enough to pull out a loss.

And as you know, the Stinky Pinky is designed to allow us, as fans, to ignore the complexities of the game of football (and of life), and simply blame a single entity for all our woes.



So....here's the problem. I didn't watch the game.

But actually having knowledge doesn't matter much in sports fandom, so I am ready to offer some nominees based on my reading of other threads.

1. Aaron Rodgers. Why not? How often will we get to blame him?

2. Jonathon Franklin. Why not? Who cares if he rushed like Gale Sayers? He fumbled with the game on the line!!!

3. Mike McCarthy. Sounds like he called some bonehead plays.

4. The offensive pass blocking. Is Rodgers still alive?

5. The whole team. Sounds like they were crazy schizo.

Okay, I'm not going to choose. Really, I didn't watch the game. But maybe some discussion, then, once the thread is humming, if Red gets good and drunk I say we let him go off on the real culprit and make the choice.

So....who really deserves this week's Stinky Pinky? Who gets the dirty digit, the fecal finger?

I will go with MM, but Ross is a close second

[jklowan]

and I think it should be a fecal fist this week not a stinky pinky

Worst game I've seen Rodgers play in many years but I'm still giving it to the matadors. The !OLEi blocking is going to get Rodgers hurt before the season is over.

fat mike

shitty play calling, and its his two good buddies that run the two weakest areas on the team

the o-line (horrible pass protection) and the special teams (ross)

He sure took a beating yesterday. Even with the running game clicking.

Ross is GONE!

I have to eat my words here. I thought he would be a difference maker on ST. But not for the opposing team.

Have the Vikings signed him yet?

If you do not excel at the one main thing that puts you on the field, then you are going to get cut.

Now there will be room for another RB. CedBen come on down!

They should have done it last week, and signed the RB from their practice squad, Cedric Benson or someone.

Rodgers deserves this dubious award. He played like crap. McC had a couple of brain farts but with so many offensive guys down our options were few and far between. On top of all this having Rodgers stink out the place was a recipe for disaster.

He never looked like he wanted to return kicks. I don't know why the Packers gave him a third try after two bad outings at such a critical position.

Ya know, now that he's gone, I kinda miss him. {sniffle}

[Carolina_Packer]

Pug, some of it was reads on A-Rods part, but you have to admit, he was under duress all day long.

Ahh, after the bye they won't need another running back. Keep the practice squad guy on speed dial.
