Geronimo!

Davante Adams - 2 TD's

Hyde - Filled in well and an INT.

Burnett

Gunter

Thunder Dan - Ran the table!

Zeros:

Rollins - Having a tough night even before he got hurt

Randall

[Bossman641]

Zero - Schum for that last punt he hit. He had 2 stinkers during the game.

[pbmax]

Schum had one decent punt.

Ha Ha and Morgan played well.

[call_me_ishmael]

Clay Matthews plays like 50% of the snaps at most right now. What's going on?

[Patler]

Schum had one decent punt.

I think he had three really good punts:

43 yards - fair catch at Detroit 13.
44 yards - fair catch at Detroit 11.
53 yards - downed at Detroit 5.

The other two were terrible.

Heroes: Both Aarons, Geronimo!, Davante, Micah, and Morgan

Zeroes: Randall, Schum, that's about it.

I do remember the 44 yarder. Forgot entirely about the other one down at the 13. Just angry about the two punts OOB.

My guess is the 2nd one was probably supposed to go out of bounds. Don't give them a chance at a return. But it wasn't supposed to go out of bounds so soon.

Hero - Geronimo Allison

Love watching the confidence and chemistry that is developing between AR and Geronimo is such a short period of time. We've watched AR hesitate to throw to guys who have been on the team for a couple of years because they hadn't gained his trust yet but this kid seems to get it and knows where he's supposed to be and what he's supposed to be doing. AR is even starting to trust him enough that he'll throw up some 50/50 or contested balls like he does with Jordy. I think Ted found a real gem with this young man and I'm looking forward to watching him develop even more over the next couple of years. He seems to have great hands and an excellent feel for the game.

They say he's gonna have shoulder surgery after the season.

I think either patler or mailman should get a new avatar. This is too confusing.

[Freak Out]

Add TT to the hero list. I mean WTF? They go from a Lacy/Starks backfield to the Ripper by the end of the regular season? lol Pretty crazy with Monty, Chrissy and the Ripper all as options....oh and Cobb if healthy.

Probably have to give some props to Ben Sirmans, the RB coach. Had to deal with a real revolving door at RB this year.

I thought the same thing with the first OOB punt. He must be under orders to be certain it goes OOB.

[Fritz]

I hope he gets some secondary orders to make sure it goes at least 35 yards before it goes out of bounds. That could've cost them the game, that last shank.

I would also include, prior to his injury, Rollins on the "zeroes" list. Man, he got beat deep an awful lot. He just isn't very good right now.

The secondary - what was supposed to be the strength of the defense this year - is now the weakest link. At least the corners.

I am hoping that Randall and Dorleant get healthy quick. Really quick.

Matthews was invisible again. I wonder what the heck his deal is?

Rodgers was phenomonal. The offensive line, outside the penalties, was very good.

And Joe Thomas, before he re-injured his back, was superb.
