winners and sinners

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't know why every Viking receiver was open all day.

I'll just say the secondary sucked cause I know no better

[Cheesehead Craig]

Winners:
Lacy - Studly McStud
Rodgers, Cobb and Nelson - Because they didn't try and do too much and realized they just needed to be solid vs spectacular this game.

Losers:
Pass rush - Horrible, undisciplined angles and too often Teddy had a ton of room to run.
Special teams - Horrible kickoff decisions, less than adequate coverage.

Winners - Lacy. Was reading on Twitter that he was sick during the game. DAMN...if he was playing that way when he was sick, heaven help the Pats next week.
O-Line: Got the job done today and got enough holes for Lacy to have a consistent game today.

Losers:
AJ Hawk: I just have visions of Gronk about 7 yards ahead of him running across the middle next week....
The maddening holding penalties on BOTH sides of ball that negated great plays on O or defensive stops on D.

I dont know if i would call a rod, or fat mikes play calling all that great.

They are looking for the home run ball waaay to much, instead of just taking what they are being given.

One one series i think it was 2nd and 27. a rod dropped back and threw deep down the sideline to a guy that was well covered. Replay showed that there was at least one, maybe 2 guys way open right in front of a rod for gains of maybe 10-15 yards. On third down they again went for the home run and failed.

Also, whats up with fat mike and his challenges? Does he ever get any right? I knew the rule and knew that was a catch as soon as i saw the first replay. What bonehead is talking him into doing all these?

Hawk looked like he was playing at quarter speed today, and it really looked at times like he wasnt giving 100%. Which is rare for him. All he really has going for him is his high motor, without that hes completely worthless

I don't think it's a huge deal, but the spontaneous flag tossing is odd. Sort of like somebody with a nervous tic, or tourette syndrome.

[Maxie the Taxi]

From the statistics and the radio broadcast of the game, Micah Hyde seemed to have his "A" game today.

I think we should keep our powder dry until we know whether he was injured. He looked like he played with minor hamstring injury.



Bill Curry describes lesson he learned as player for Vince Lombardi

Lesson four: It is not enough to play hurt. One must play well while playing hurt.

When I arrived in Green Bay to work for Lombardi, I quickly learned what the culture demanded. The second week I had a slight hamstring pull and went to the trainer for therapy. As I lay on the training room table, superstar Paul Hornung walked over. He was one of the few veterans that was nice to rookies. He asked, "Whatcha got, kid?" I replied that my hamstring was pulled. He glanced around, leaned over in a conspiratorial manner, and said softly, "The old man doesn't believe in hamstrings."

I stood, walked out of the training room and never returned while in Green Bay. Never.

Id say hyde was up and down. He had some rough spots early

Packers D did not do well against pick plays

Mike Neal had a long day

He had some loose coverages in the backend and one bad tackle attempt. But he did get the INT.

Bill Curry always sounds like he is/was afflicted with Stockholm Syndrome when discussing Lombardi. His story about how Lombardi challenged him that Butkus was too much for him is like listening to narration of a snuff film.

Is that what happened on the TD and 2 point play? Because HHCD and Shields were also doing the "you got him" routine after the 2 point conversion.

Broncos used the same play for 2 points versus the Dolphins.

Other than the INT, I thought Hyde had a tough day. But, the INT was a big play. That's Hyde. He has some weaknesses, but he has a way of coming up with big plays.
