    There's often been known to be a bit of a lag on the visiting team's monitors, especially in Atlanta. Too much cable or they have to run it through at transatlantic relay or something.

      Its a long way to the geostationary orbiting satellite and back. And back. And back. And back.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        OK .... blame it on the Technology.

        MM is off the hook again. Slippery devil.

          Didn't Tom Clements clearly see the situation as you and I did pbmax?

          Didn't Tom Clements communicate the need to go for it in that situation with MM?

          Didn't MM consult with Tom Clements as a prerequsite action in that extremely important instance?
          Tom is on the sidelines most likely conferring with MM on the headset. We usually see him sitting next to AR (or Flynn when Matt was starting) talking to each other after each offensive series.

            Exactly and he's not far from MM.

            I can hear Aaron Rodgers now when MM was going to punt.

            I'm seeing air and I'm seeing it transformed into something ...what's that? Ohh yea...

                They still use coaxial for the visitors. Fiber optics is expensive and reserved for the home team.

Somebody or muliple players kept losing contain, Forte, I mean Matt Forte, could have easily sealed that game.
                  So Lattimore won the game for us. Had he gotten off the field we would have had 2 TO's and stubby definitely would have punted

                    Mike McCarthy is so fortunate to have Aaron Rodgers as his QB because without him he's not lasting in the NFL. The same goes for his boss Ted Thompson. Aaron Rodgers is their saviour.

                    Aaron Rodgers needs a HC, OC, DC and GM that supports his competency/skills.

                    Good God woody, overstate much. MM managed to win games and get back in contention with the once traded twice cut Matt Flynn. Rodgers actually played a pretty bad game sunday all considered (2 picks and a fumble).

                    Lets not get carried away here. I could argue that Eddie Lacy and James Starks deserve a better QB just as easily.

                                I'm not posting that in terms of what Rodgers has in support of him so far on offense. If TT doesn't sign James Jones (cover for his possible loss in FA) or doesn't find more at TE then that will come into the discussion.

                                I'm referring specifically to where the team certainly is deficient on the defensive side of the ball. TT has to sit with MM and get more done there.

                                I'm enjoying our discussion but right now must support Team Canada Hockey Juniors @ the World Championship and in a 1-1 deadlock with you fellas.

                                Canada 1 - USA 1 after two periods. We start period 3 shorthanded after a penalty late in the 2nd.

                                It should be on your TV cable or satellite.

                                Later......
