    Bright spots and dull spots 1/4 season mark....

    Bright spots
    1. Rush defense is great (tackling, muscle up front, discipline)
    2. Middle of defense is stronger than what we're used to. ILBs, Ss and DTs all playing well.
    3. Pass rush is great. Matthews, Daniels, Perry, Fackrell leading the charge.
    4. Lacy is running well
    5. The OL is the best we've seen in many years, both run and pass.
    6. Nelson and Cobb are better than injured Cobb and Adams last year
    7. Dick Rod looks faster
    8. Arod is elite at moving in the pocket. Makes blocking easier because he moves to set up the blocks. Still runs well.

    Dull spots
    1. Aaron still not at the top of his game throwing. Missing throws.
    2. Dropped passes
    3. Nobody behind Lacy
    4. Adams mental errors and seems like he's thinking instead of just playing.
    5. Our punter fucking sucks


    All in all a good start. I don't think the corners are playing poorly enough to be a real glaring weakness, but not a strength either. Get m shields back and have Aaron get in a rhythm and I think we might be a contender. Keep sputtering with the passing game and the corners getting exposed more and we're not good enough. I have no real guess at how it's going to go, but we're in it. We have a chance.

    Besides that one play where Adams pulled his hands back and didn't catch that pass that could have been picked I thought he had a nice game. Otherwise I agree with your assessment of the game.

      This is the quarter poll evaluations not just the Giants game.

      Funny story, my son was playing a football game Saturday morning and had a similar play to the Adams play. The QB just rifled it at him from about 8 yards away. My son ducked and let the pass go over his head. The coach yelled, "Why did you duck?" I thought my son would say something like I thought someone was behind me but instead said, "It was coming right for my head."
      But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

        Funny stuff, Dan. Maybe Adams thought he'd jam a finger if he tried to catch that bullet.

        I agree with JH's assessment generally, but I am more concerned with Rodgers's (Aaron) play than JH appears to be. There were, as my students would write, defiantly lots of dropped passes last night, but on the whole this year the receivers seem to be hanging on to the ball okay. Rodgers, however, is scattershot again on many passes. He's just off, somehow. Maybe he spoiled us for a long time, and this is how normal QB's play. But if so, then we're going to have to back off all the "boy he's special" talk at some point.

        I am hoping Rodgers will pull it together and be that incredible, breathtaking QB we were used to seeing. Because incredible players making breathtaking plays (like Cobb on that first down run toward the end of the game) is how you win a Super Bowl.

          I am a pessimist, so here are some more dull spots:

          6. Randall is getting raped and slaughtered - not literally.

          7. Cook is the only TE on the roster worthy of being on the roster. He's now hurt and eating rooster heads for dinner.

          8. The Packers DBs as a whole suck. Pretty uninspiring. Pack were lucky Elisha's receivers were dropping balls when he wasn't overthrowing 'em the other night. They were wide open for most of the night, kinda like Greg Jennings was in the clutch in that Wildcard game against 'Zona.

          9. Rodgers is still missing mojo. Brady missed 4 games and he didn't miss a beat.

          10. Every Sunday's getting more bleak - A fresh poison each week. Take me to church...Good God, let me give you my life.

            Disagree on Adams. I think he's having a much better season this year than last. Granted, couldn't have done much worse, but a marked improvement nonetheless.

              d is looking real good. at first it was bend-don't-break but it just keeps getting better. o is getting better but not close to what it was.

              these next few games will be a real measuring stick.

                I'm not sure how you blame Adams for that...it was an easy pass that should've been on his numbers. The ball was 3 feet over his head...receivers will often let those go thinking it may be to another receiver behind them. Besides, if he tries to get his hands up to make the catch, the same thing that happened to Jordy (which DID result in an INT) could happen by tipping the ball into the air and gifting up an INT.

                That play was 100% on Rodgers...not Adams. Rodgers needs to work on his accuracy, because he was WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off on a number of throws last night. He may be able to hit a net from 50 yards, but he can't seem to throw an accurate pass to a guy 10 yards from him anymore.

                  The primary dull spot is the guy who is the head coach.

                  The first drive last night was fabulous...different packages...got a lot of guys on the field. Went down the field and got a TD. I was shocked to see that McCarthy was actually coaching.

                  Then, the variation completely stopped...and Stubby went back to the boring, vanilla playbook that everyone in the NFL already has memorized. He has TWO FUCKING WEEKS to prepare for this game, and only came up with ONE FUCKING DRIVE worth of innovation...then decided, hell with it, let's go back to what hasn't worked for the last year because that one drive should confuse the defense, right? What a moron.

                    Or as we saw last night, he can't throw an accurate pass 2 or 3 yards.

                      He jumped, not an olympic record distance, and didn't even extend his arms the entire way. Then, having interfered with the vision and anticipation of the person he thought was behind him, he decided not to touch it.

                      Catch the ball you could have easily caught.
                      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                        That first screen pass was a huge disappointment. It was setup so well. And he biffed the throw.

                        Th second one was more Starks. It wasn't square in his chest, but catchable.

                          No ball 3 feet above your head is "easily caught" as you suggest. NFL receivers often make catching those kind of passes LOOK easy...doesn't mean they are. For every highlight film, there are about twice as many tipped balls for INTs.

                          Rodgers looked like Anthony Dilweg out there last night. Good to know that you fully approve of that performance, and just want the receivers to catch all the easily caught balls that are within 10 feet of them.

                            Lacy is good but can only be expected to be healthy 50% of the time. The lack of a backup is a puzzling miss by TT.

                              Huh? You say it was Rodgers' fault that Adams pulled his hands down from that pass? smh
