Winners - Losers Packers vs. Bills

[Tyrion Lannister]

He sleeps. Although his fate was very strange, he lived. He died when he had no longer his angel. The thing came to pass simply, of itself, as the night comes when day is gone.

lol

Btw, Harlan, check out the Russell Crow-Hugh Jackman flick if you wanna know the ending in less than 3 hours. Not gonna spoil it for you but it stars Amanda Seyfried as Cosette.

Got to admit that Tank has tried to blow this site up before. I am on KY's side.

Oh. No doubt. But I don't have the history to personalize it, or the energy. Generally, the whole thing entertains me; Tank is perched at the lip of the scaffold, blindfold on, half a Camel straight dangling from lips and the noose around his neck. If he goes bad, I have no doubt Zool or Mad will oblige him. That being said, I'm impressed with Tanks ability to tap dance right down the line but I don't harbor any illusions about what he is.

Losers - our garbage ass te's. That's what we really need to beat the 4 man 2 deep defense.

Also losers - the refs. Sure seems like our guys are seeing a ton of grabbing/holding more than 5 yards downfield

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't harbor any illusions about what he is.

He is somebody who some people don't like.

Why is it appropriate for anybody to spend weeks, actually months, interjecting negativity into a football forum about another poster's supposed moral and mental failings? Perhaps a church lady room could be established.

Glad to see this thread title still alive and kicking.

Winners:
Ed Lacy, he should have had 30 carries today, but poor play calling took the ball out of his hands and placed it in the hands of the Bills.
Defense, nice effort. But the Bills are not the Broncos or some other high powered offense. They did what the were supposed to do.
Cobb, broke out in the second, don't know why they gotta run three times in one drive, but he got productive.
Offensive line, I thought they did a nice job, not great but good, just good.

Losers,
Aaron Rodgers, I think he needs to put more effort into his sex life. Like I have always said, he needs clean air to be productive, he is a front runner. When things are going well around him he shines, when he has to rise above his teammates' mistakes, and his own mistakes he falters. The game in Miami was the first time I saw him take charge of the offense in a come from behind situation and make plays, and catch the breaks in his favor. This week he was his own worst enemy, he had the opportunity to march his offense down the field and he fumbled in the end zone and acted like he had know idea where the ball was. He played against a very tough Bills defense and instead of recklessly throwing the ball, he should continually handed the ball off to Eddie Lacy, the Packers toughest S.O.B.

Jordy Nelson, wasn't your day. Dropped a pass I never have seen him drop before. Packer fan you all could have turned the game off right there because you knew there was no magic for the Green Bay Packers.

Announcers, playcallers, play by play guys, what a bunch of assholes. Rodgers is now getting the Favre treatment from these clowns. Nothing is 12's fault with these hacks. When Rodgers is in the groove he is brilliant, and deserves praise, but when he is shit, call him shitty. Which is rare, I know.

I completely agree with this assessment. Rodgers' greatest flaw is his inability to stick with fundamentals when he is facing a great front 4 that allows the defense to drop 7 into coverage. He gets happy feet as soon as the ball is in his hands, and he becomes incredibly inaccurate as a result. The guy needs to calm down and R-E-L-A-X. He was barely touched today. Sure, he had to scramble some. What do you expect against the team with the most sacks in the NFL? He made numerous horrible throws and I'm guessing improper footwork contributed to many of them. Usually, he can get away with it. Against a team that can drop 7 into coverage, he can't.

Hold the phone there. Incredibly inaccurate is not a term that can be associated with Rodgers under almost any circumstances. Certainly not against all good defenses. Did you forget the NE game already?

Packer fans don't even know what inaccurate looks like anymore. Most of his misses hit the receiver and several others were back shoulder throws that no WR understood was going to be thrown. That is the mystery that needs to be solved because each was viable if the WR knew to look.

It was his worst game in years but its he's not inaccurate against good defenses normally. He also moves and throws as well as anybody in the game. So while it didn't work today, that doesn't happen each week. He had a horrible game, but he hasn't suddenly become horrible.

losers...the entire o except lacy and the o-line. any so called skill position player stole money today.

[Striker]

You used this deal to defend the banned one before.

It's a bullshit example.

I would have captured Valjean and de-pantsed him.

I'm with KY. He should be gone, but, ultimately that's the mod's call. Though it's amazing to see he's still the same after all these years. Guess age doesn't bring wisdom/maturity or something like that.

Winners
Lacy - if only he'd have been in the game more

The Defense - Did more than enough to win this game.

The O-line - Kept Rodgers clean and opened holes for the running game.


Losers
Rodgers & the WRs - Not on the same page. Drops. Bad passes/decisions. Less awareness than normal. Just a terrible day.

McCarthy - Rodgers is struggling? Well gee Mike, why don't we throw 40+ times instead of feeding the RB averaging over 6 yards a carry.

Special teams - This could be our ultimate undoing. The coverage units had been solid until today. The blocking continues to be very worrisome.

When I can muster the courage I'm going to try to watch my recording of the game.

From what I saw yesterday your view looks accurate.

I'm trying to recall the last time I saw the Green Bay Packers play 'a stinker' like that game was.

" What in hell was going on out there? "

It was all there and suddenly.....THE NO. 1 SEED .........................pffffffffffttttttt !!!!

Gone !! See yaa.....nice while the image lasted. I'm shockingly disappointed.

So now it's simply............................plan b

I thought they had the #2 seed and now the #6 seed? Anyway, they can still get it back, right? I mean, we are relying on help, and we saw how that worked out yesterday, but if Arizona rises to the occasion and beats Seattle, and if Packers win the last two games, we are right back in it.

I know, if my aunt had balls she would be my uncle....

Lacy has a bad hip. It bothered him all week. They were not going to run Lacy 30 times. Maybe the argument can be made Starks should have gotten more carries. The problem with that is that is that they'd rather have Lacy in there most of the time for his superior pass blocking. Besides, I can't blame McCarthy too much for thinking Rodgers and his receivers would get their act together at some point. They usually do. It only would have taken 1 drive. Remember Miami?

I agree. Hand the ball off and pound the crap out of that team. Drive them mercilessly.

But is that a critique of Rodgers, as scrotum suggests, or of McCarthy?
