Studs And Duds - Packers vs. Bears

[pbmax]

Why didn't Dean Lowry get a sack for the last when he fell on Trubs with the high snap?

Is that a muffed snap?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Stud: Jimmy Graham. Spent many a blue moons chipping and neutralizing Mack in the 2nd half. And people say Jimmy G doesn't block. Stats are for losers, but I have reasons to believe Jimmy G's stats will still end up being similar to what it was in his youthful, albino days down there yonder in dat Orleans.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

So far, King, Jackson, and Alexander all look promising. Add Josh Jones and you have a very young secondary with a lot of potentially rising talent.

King, Jackson and Alexander? Aren't they the founding fathers of the Rainbow Coalition?

Everything tastes good after a win. The aforementioned 3-headed monstas were actually kinda rotten in the 1st half. Caption Kirk is up next. We'll find out soon enough if King, Jackson and Alexander are bona fide NFL corners, or they're better off fighting the good fight.

Speaking of falling on QB's and penalty-calling, in the first quarter the Bears were driving deep in Packer territory, and after a completion that got them somewhere around the twelve, I think, a penalty was called on Nick Perry for roughing the passer, I think. On the replay, you see Trumansky throw the ball and Perry immediately slowed up but still hit him, then let up more so he didn't even knock Trubersky to the ground. I think he even held the guy up so Truzipski wouldn't fall down.

So how do you attempt to sack the quarterback at all without getting a penalty for roughing?

You have to sack him before he throws the ball?

Going back to Clay's penalty late in the game had he not hit Trubisky in the head with his forearm I doubt that would have been a penalty. You could tell Clay was trying not to hit him after the ball was gone but his momentum didn't let him. Defenders can't go near the head I guess...

Ultimate Team Game.

Studs - Packers

Duds - Bears

Team Game.

You funny.

But does that mean if you're running full speed and the QB just barely gets rid of it, you'd better figure out how to defy physics so as to avoid any impact at all?

I went back and rewatched all three roughing penalties. The first two the Packer hit the QB within a second of the slow motion replay. So, even less than that at normal speed. I have no idea how or what they are supposed to do. What if the QB doesn't actually throw the ball? Does a defensive player get awarded a sack if he runs by a QB who decides last second to not throw the ball?

Clay's was legit cause he hit the head of the QB.

[Guiness]

Man, Kenny Clark was blocked by 2 all game long. That’s respect. That opened everything else up. I thought king was sticky good too.

It did, but the rushers did not take very good advantage of it, not getting a single sack. Trubisky did get out of a few, and usually managed to pick up good yards on the ground when he did.

We finally found the shut down corner:

Kevin King @King_kevvoo
That 4th quarter on sunday was the loudest ive heard Lambeau since ive been here. Aha shit was live as fuck.

Actually sounds like APB/Tank

[Pugger]

Bulaga gets a pass due to all circumstances. He wasn't terrible.

He got better as the game went along.

[Pugger]

Dud- I'm going a different direction with mine and saying Gutekunst. Just for not having a better plan at the #2 QB spot. We got a brief glimpse into what will happen if AR gets hurt. I don't think Kizer is the answer. He may be worse than Hundley. Hell even the Bucs have a better backup QB than GB.

He isn't worse than Hundley. I see a lot more to like with Kizer. I doubt Fitzpatrick would have fared any better with Hicks and Mack terrorizing the offensive line.

[Harlan Huckleby]

He isn't worse than Hundley. I see a lot more to like with Kizer. I doubt Fitzpatrick would have fared any better with Hicks and Mack terrorizing the offensive line.

I'm gonna concede that Kizer is a little worse than Hundley right now. But after a few games, I expect he'll be better.

Most of the passes Kizer throws can't be made by Hundley, more zip.

[Guiness]

A small dud to whatever was going on with the defense during the Bear's drive that started at the 9 minute mark of the 4th quarter. A clock eating 6 minute 22 second 14 play drive that included three 3rd down conversions. Oh, and the Pack had to use all their timeouts during it as well. We can't have been the only people screaming at the tv!

[Guiness]

I disagree with you on Foles, just based on accuracy - though maybe Foles was just hot last year, and Kap is better long-term. There are probably about 3-5 teams who would start Kap next Sunday if they didn't have to worry about controversy.

Big Dick Nick Foles has a pretty strange career arc. Pro-bowler his second season in the league, then breaks his collarbone halfway through a mediocre season. Traded to by acknowledged wacko Chip Kelly to the Rams where he looked like a zombie playing under Fischer. Asks for his release and signs a 1.75M deal with the Chiefs...wins both games he starts, but then is released at the end of the season! (his contract did balloon to $5M)

Then this past year - SB MVP. I'd say he's a damn good QB when given a chance.
