More Banjo: Week 6 @ Minnesota

[SMBASS]

He was yelling at Wilde when when asked of the hit was legal or dirty.

The internet already posted it, I put it here because Vikes fans are still seething over their neighbors even after a win.

I'm just jerking your chain pb! Although I actually don't know or care who in the hell Dana Litman is!

what is under the new shitty fake turf? is it the same as the old shitty fake turf? concrete?

or is it a softer base like dirt?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Dirty hit? I don't think so. Did he do everything he could inside the rules to hurt him? Yep. But legal and not dirty.

A hard hit on opponent's scrambling QB. Nothing illegal or dirty. We complain about the pussyfying of the game, then also complain when a defender makes a hard, legal hit?

Recycled shoe rubber. That is the pellets that shoot up like dust when they drag their feet.

The refs jobbed the shit out of the Pack today. The standards on what constituted a catch for the Vikings was "in the vicinity of the ball".

Not that Green Bay would have won anyway, but they might have been within striking distance at the end.

I just can't get into blaming the refs. Because every Viking fan I know (its not a lot) prior to Ras just loved to think they were Dana Litman and lived under an eternal ref curse.

Its not just Favre or Rodgers, the guys I know thought Ditka got all the calls when he coached the Bears.

No idea. But here is the incidence of certain injuries by turf surface.

Here is the thing. Hundley isn't Rodgers, but he and McCarthy will create a facsimile of a decent offense.

The bigger problems are still on the O line and DB (injuries). And pass rush (inconsistent and reliant on extra man).

Mike McCarthy: "Brett Hundley is my quarterback. Joe Callahan is the backup." #Packers coach squelching any speculation about the position.

DUMB. THAT MIGHT SQUELCH SPECULATION ABOUT THE CURRENT DEPTH CHART, DOUBT IT ENDS THE IDEA THAT THE PACKERS WILL PICK UP A QB

SERIOUSLY, THIS IS A THING ON THE INTERNET. PFT IS ON IT TOO. HE ISN'T THE GM AND ITS 10 MINUTES AFTER THE GAME IS OVER AND YOU THINK HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO THE REST OF THE SEASON? OR SPEAKS FOR THE ACTUAL GM? GET A BRAIN MORANS!

Brett Hundley calls Rodgers "his brother," says he's praying for him. As for his own performance, "We'll be better. We'll be better."

What else is Stubby gonna say publicly? Hundley sucks?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Can we say that they missed Brooks today? He's just a role player, but he adds some productivity to defense in both pass and run defense.

[Pugger]

I get that the NFL is, "next level" but I really don't understand all of the injuries. I watch a lot of college football and see guys continuously take poundings and just as big of hits without getting hurt. Though not all of them are elite athletes there are plenty of college players who are just as big, fast, and strong who become NFL players. I don't know if it's from lack of contact or what but it seems like as soon as guys get to the NFL they get hurt tripping over a blade of grass.

I suspect it is a lack of contact/padded practices.

[pbmax]

I suspect it is a lack of contact/padded practices.

They have been doing away with padded practices and contact since Bill Walsh became a head coach.

[Pugger]

Who in the fuck is Dana Litman and why would anyone give a shit about what he thinks or says? If we start posting every ignorant statement muttered by every random asshole on social media we'll end up breaking the internet. The cloud isn't big enough to hold that much stupid.

[texaspackerbacker]

There seems to be a consensus in here that the season is down the drain. Am I the only one in here that doesn't buy that? We damn near came back and beat a fairly decent team at their place without Rodgers and with a ton of other injuries. If damn McCarthy had gone for it on 4th and 1 (or not just run it into the line on 2nd and 3rd and 1), and if Montgomery had remembered he wasn't still in college and secured the ball and crawled in instead of stretching and losing control - either of those things or both, we might even have won that game.

Hundley may not be Rodgers, but he was decent today, and he's only gonna get better. And our schedule was front loaded - if it hadn't been for the injury, the Packers would have literally been favored to run the table. They still should beat most of the teams the rest of the way ....... and on top of all that, there is some chance - 50/50? more? less? that Aaron Rodgers comes back in 6 or 7 or 8 weeks. or whenever.

I'm still betting we make the playoffs, and if we do that with Rodgers back healthy, the sky is still the limit. Somebody ought to start a poll - who's a believer and who isn't.

[Pugger]

If Bulaga and Bahk can be back next week and Hundley getting all the reps we will be able to tell if Brett can keep us afloat until Rodgers returns. It will help to get Brooks, Burnett and King back too.

Is there a chance Rodgers has surgery on that collarbone?
