Jordy dismissers: Day of Reckoning

[Harlan Huckleby]

When Jordy Nelson went down, a lot of people said it was no big deal - Aaron Rodgers is so good he'd find a way to keep things humming at high level.

I think it is time for a confessional of sorts; clear your conscience before the new year. Say a Hail Mary, or a Rastaman chant, wash some dishes, or whatever you need to do for penance. But most importantly, stepping forward and admitting your mistake is the start of any healing process.

I'll start if off and speak for Bob McGinn since he is not here, "I greatly misjudged the value of a top receiver, and misunderstood that the other guys are so much shittier."

OK, who's next. Don't want to mention names. King Friday?

It's been worse than I thought it would be. I knew they wouldn't be as explosive an offense, but I thought they's be able to grind out drives. Like a lot of people, including MM and Arod, I thought Adams would really step up. His failure has been huge. I also thought Monty would be a good 3-4, but he's been hurt. Missing Jordy is part of the problem, but not the whole problem.

I think it will be Adams. Cobb, Adams and Montgomery all have similar speed, but Adams' athleticism will make him the top threat. Janis is the fastest, but won't be on the field enough to be the top threat.

If everything else had been OK, perhaps the impact would have been much less. O-line and WR injuries and Lacy (fat) questionable throw the whole thing up into the air.

But yes, certainly with Nelson healthy, the Packers would be much better off.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't think anybody came close to predicting how the receivers would work out. I predicted Montgomery heroics. God smote Montgomery to put me in my place.

Losing Jordy really hurt but what killed us was Adams playing hurt and losing Ty for most the year. Cobb also had issues earlier. Even when Jordy returns we still need a speedy WR to stretch the field and a TE that can actually run and block so we don't end up in this predicament again.

What this man says. You can't point O line injuries and Eddie Lacy's existential crisis on Nelson. Did Nelson injure Quarless too?

Remember the Packer offense versus the 49ers and Seahawks D of past years, Jordy could be contained by Cover 2 man.

The O-line has only had to go one-deep into backups for most games. They lost nobody to season ending injury. This is just the ordinary injury situation, nothing unusual.

Eddie LAcy? OK. Starks has been relatively healthy, each has had some decent games.
Packers are a passing team, that is how their O-line is built.

If they had roughly the same running game as last year, they offense would look much better.

There would still be no Cover 2 because no Jordy, but it would keep the team in favorable down and distance. The injuries are perhaps of the ordinary variety (thought it cost both Linsley and Bualga several games). But I struggle to recall one game, let alone a 3 game stretch where each starter was missing practice and on the injury report. Their fourth backup tackle had to finish a game and twice they have had no backup lineman left in a game. Looks like 2011 out except instead of playing a Guard out at tackle, the Guards have been injured.

I don't think anyone was expecting the deep game to completely disappear. It crippled the offense.

But the attention Jordy got from defenses opened up things for others. It is no coincidence Cobb isn't the same player without Jordy out there.

is anybody actually still discounting Jordy? i din't think so

if anything, jordy being out has shown us that HE is probably the MVP of this team

I like how you capitalize His pronoun just like when we refer to Jesus.
Jordy. Jesus.

I think we should exchange presents on the day of the birth of the baby Jordy child. Hang football shoes on the fireplace.

I don't think pbmax is saved.
