Studs & Duds - Packers vs. Seahawks

[Harlan Huckleby]

I am going to be a bit of a downer here, but I do not think Davante is as good as some people seem to believe. He's only average or above average and Rodgers makes him better.

He has been up and down. (Jordy was mostly down his first year and a half, if memory serves.)

I'd say this season is the rubber match. I initially was against the guy because Madtown liked him. That is certainly a reasonable basis for hating a player. But now I am hopeful that this will finally be the season where he proves his value.

Don't agree. Lambeau has fans closer to the field than most any other football stadium. The cheering at Lambeau is quite audible and discerneable to the opposing teams, as opposed to a wall of noise created by modern day acoustic design.

It's more difficult to ignore cat calls and personal references from fans 14 feet in back of your bench, in the end zone and all along the sidelines than it is for a cacophony of buzzing noises.

Go Pack Go, and your mother wears army boots, indeed.

For an outdoor stadium Lambeau is designed to be loud. The fans are "on top" of the field in a large enclosed bowl. I've gone to games where it's been loud and others where it's not loud. Some of it is the age of the fans. There are a lot of old timers at Packers game who rarely even clap.

^Lmao, people only think about fantasy impact now...there is a reason Cobb was open so much.

No. Not WRT to fantasy. I'm not a fantasy guy. Just musing, making an observation. Seattle's defense is really good. It wasn't disappointed with him in this game per se. But I didn't think his 2016 was as good as others did and he makes me nervous.

I assume you mean because Seattle was chasing Bennett Adams and Nelson. I didn't see much of the game but I saw Cobb getting open a couple of times because Seattle lost track of him.

About Lambeau; it's one of the quietest stadiums I've been in. Cincy, Philly, Buffalo, Detroit, Mpls, San Fran, County Stadium, Indy, AZ, were all significantly louder and fans standing more. Cincy fans stand the whole game. Cleveland and Chicago were quieter but those were total blowouts by the visitors and the teams sucked so hard to tell. Packer home fans are nice people, nice friendly drunks who are even generally friendly to the opposing team's fans. More like watching a game with your extended family. Other stadiums are
Like watching a game at a raucous bar.

STUD:
Vogel - had some really nice punts...one out of the end zone went past the 50, that's huge!
Daniels - played like a man
Perry - Keeps getting better
DB's - Had 1 bad series in the 1st half, but other than that, solid. swarm tackling, aggressive to the ball. I liked it.
Murphy - Can't compliment a 2nd year player who never sniffed the field last year enough for what he did.
Martellus Bennett - I don't care if it was cheap, he stood up for his QB at the end to he game. brings an attitude this team needs.
Nelson/Cobb/Adams- Doin what they do.
Montgomery - Not flashy, but almost 60 yards rushing and almost 40 receiving...if he averaged that all year I think he is real dangerous.
Rodgers - 1st half bad, but looked ready in 2nd half.

Duds...

Refs - Weird game.



To any Florida people, stay safe! Blessed to have planned to have our friends here today to watch the game with us from near Naples, Florida. They are lucky to have gotten out, but prayers up to all those down there, and still those in Texas and the area.

Hubby and I evacuated all the way up to GB. We are staying at his brother's place waiting for power to be restored. We got lucky as hell and our house was spared damage as far as my neighbors can tell from the outside.

Studs - The D, the offense looked ok considering who they were up against and who is calling the plays.

Duds - Special Teams minus Crosby and M3. What the fuck was he doing calling TO's at the end of the first half?

I couldn't understand that either. Why in the hell would you give your opponent a TO at the end of the half? Who cares if you don't score. It would have been tied and you get the ball first after the half. smh Some of Stubby's time management leaves a lot to be desired.

Major congratulations.

Had you been a reader of FYI, you might have been talked into sitting tight and guarding your fort by a very persuasive fellow. Glad things worked out for you and you are vacationing in sunny Green Bay.

I am going to be a bit of a downer here, but I do not think Davante is as good as some people seem to believe. He's only average or above average and Rodgers makes him better. I am torn about his future in Green Bay, but I really don't want us to pay him 10mil/year. He is not worth it.

Yup.

[gbgary]

I know it's one game but this defense really has me excited.

i'm with ya but let's tap the brakes a bit. sea's o sucks pretty bad. the atl o will tell us more.

Stubby defended the move at his presser. He would and will do it again. In fact, Sean Payton and Bellycheck The Great did the same thing in their games with the same results: https://www.totalpackers.com/2017/09...ment-concepts/ It's still a stupid move, no matter the company.

[Glad you dodged the hurricane bullet. We did too.]
