The Official Barney Fuckdoggle Award Thread

[Patler]

Chiefs at Packers: The Packers have a knack for having unheralded players step up and play well when it matters most and it is fucking INFURIATING. I would like the loss of a star player to crush them. But NO… no, they always have some asshole behind him ready to go because they’re committed to internal player development because they’re so goddamn PERFECT. Bah! I want scrubs to be SCRUBS. I want to be able to laugh at a rival team for having to put Barney Fuckdoggle in at corner or whatever. It’s a real let-down when Barney turns into a hidden gem, and Collinsworth is like, “You know, Al. I think I really LIKE this Fuckdoggle guy!” That never happens with my team. With my team, the shitty players are shitty.

Like I said earlier, I don't give a Fuckdoggle: Rand does. But if we go back to the source I think the decision is clear: John Crockett. He is everything that is in bold print above except the last, the Collinsworth "dagger" if you will.

Well, I humbly submit that I heard that dagger comment, admittedly not from Collinsworth, but from the next best thing: Phil Simms. I distinctly remember during the telecast that Simms said: "You know, Jim. I think I really LIKE this Crockett guy!”

Of course, anyone who really gives a Fuckdoggle can go back and check the video tape, but I swear I heard it. Scout's honor.

I disagree! Crockett wasn't in because they lost anyone, he was in because the starter and backup were playing like crap. He shouldn't qualify from the get-go!

They didn't have to put Crockett in, they wanted to put him in. If he had done nothing, the Packers could have gone back to their starter. That's NOT a Fuckdoggle!

They had to play Taylor, or an even scrubbier scrub. They were stuck with him for the game!

I think you're letting your lawyer mode get the best of you. Of course they had to put him in because the Fat Guy WAS lost, i.e., he was hibernating in the doghouse. Starks was "lost" because he was fumbling. Ergo, Crockett was in the game. Motives for why a guy is "lost" are unimportant. What IS important is the fact that the starter guy is "lost" and the scrub is in the game.

Patler, did you see the friendly tap on the helmet that Crockett delivered to Arod? Did Taylor make such an endearing and bodacious gesture? Did Simms say he was impressed by Taylor's presence in the game? These last two points are critically important to the integrity of the Fuckdoggle.

Who's this Taylor guy?

There you go. Taylor's performance was so nondescript and anonymous that you didn't even know he played. I don't know Taylor either. If he's any relation to Aaron, we might be worth a second thought though.

But that's exactly what you want out of offensive linemen. To be so unoffensive their names are never mentioned.

You've got a point. OLinemen are generally indistinct. Maybe the correct approach to determining their effectiveness should be to analyze the name recognition of the defensive player the OLineman is supposed to be blocking. We might also analyze the time Arod spent on his back during the game and study film to determine how he got there.

Since I heard the names of Ziggy Ansah, Jason Jones, Devin Taylor and Haloti Ngata pretty often yesterday I'd say the case against our Olinemen is pretty damning. I haven't researched Arod's ground time.

Per McGinn's "grading":

Lane Taylor played for the first time since August. He used his bulk and improving strength and balance on three successful runs against powerful old pro Haloti Ngata and his poise to neutralize Ziggy Ansah on a pair of stunts. He demolished former Packer Khyri Thornton on a 12-yard run, too. His day also included 1½ "bad" runs and 1½ pressures.

More good than bad. Six positive plays mentioned by McGinn is quite good. No sacks, knockdowns or hits (which McGinn always seems to mention). One bad run and one pressure, with partial responsibility for another of each is a pretty good performance for their #8 OL, who started only because Barclay was already starting for Bulaga and Tretter was gimpy and backing up a gimpy Linsley.

Kyri Thornton did get either a sack or a tackle for a loss, I don't remember which.

[Harlan Huckleby]

there's no way in hell I'm giving the o-line any damn award.

Kyri Thornton did get either a sack or a tackle for a loss, I don't remember which.

Could have been Taylor's bad run, or might have been against Barclay, who McGinn had down for 7 1/2 pressures, including at least 2 sacks.

According to NFL.com, neither.

he was credited with one sackle.

7 1/2 pressures is incredible. Packers def need to draft a Tackle this year.

So, if I were going to get a custom PACKERS jersey with the name Fuckdoggle, which number would I choose?

Pie. Or one-half.
