Scott Motherf***ing Tolzien

[Rutnstrut]

They also need an ENTIRE back up defense, how do they pull off that roster move?

[woodbuck27]

Seneca Wallace was 5-5 before he got hurt.

But a groin pull on a nothing play sorta screams "old guy"

I don't care if Tolzien or Wallace play. I haven't seen anything to indicate one is more promising than the other for this season.

Scott Tolzien just got tossed into the flames and passed for 280 yards in his first NFL game.

[denverYooper]

No, can't do that. I loved his effort today and think he is the new developmental guy.

But you can't heave INTs when your are the limited experience backup QB. Rather hang on to ball.

I'm on board with this. If nothing else, they might have found their next Hasselbeck.

I think we can beat the Giants with Tolzien, but the real question is whether our defense will allow him the opportunity.

I agree with this. Can GB limit the number of crazy bombs that Eli can complete? He's not afraid to go after those and the Packers' DBs have gone keystone kops back there several times.

lets not over goo ourselves over this guy just yet

it was an OK performance, nothing more

24-39 for 280 yards 1 td and 2 INTs (which should have been 4, he threw 2 or 3 balls into hands of defenders that were dropped)

for a QB rating of 70.5

not to mention some of those throws were pretty bad but turned into huge plays by the WR's making some amazing catches

yeah he had a lot of yards, but he threw the ball a ton to get there

I didn't actually see the game. I had the charted game on NFL.Com.

MM just said Scott would be the qb next week. He said, I'm the head coach and that's the direction we are going."

[channtheman]

I have zero faith in our defense at this point.

What else is there to get excited about? Bostick, maybe.

McCarthy on Scott Tolzien: "I thought Scott did a hell of a job. We’re running plays he hasn’t even practiced yet."

[woodbuck27]

That seems logical to me. I week of practice and he just might help us to a 6-4 record.

We have more problems than at 'just' QB.

[Iron Mike]

I agree with this. Can GB limit the number of crazy bombs that Eli can complete? He's not afraid to go after those and the Packers' DBs have gone keystone kops back there every time they line up.

FIFY

Installing a goddamn furnace in a 2' crawlspace, damn hard to watch game and post. Anyway, I thought Tolzien was ok. He threw some balls he should not have, but his arm and legs are certainly better than Wallace. Another week of practice, and some tutoring by Rogers ought to help him. By far the bigger question is defense. Quite frankly, I'm not sure they could have played worse. Missed tackles (again). I mean, goddamn it how do you get to Pro ball and don't know how to tackle yet??? Horrible coverage, very little pass rush, I mean, on some plays, I thought the Eagle QB could have taken a nap. I was extremely disappointed in defense. Offense was not a whole lot better but king stink went to defense today.

[KYPack]

Killians Irsh Red is mandatory for early games.....appreciate that KY?

Absolutely!

Man, what a game, eh?

We got to pull some serious shit together or this year is down the tubes.
