Studs And Duds - Packers vs. Redskins

[red]

it took so many factors working in concert to decisively lose this game, but I think a poverty of talent is the primary factor. Specifically, the Packers seem to have a lot of "B" type guys who just can't make the jump to stardom. These guys are solid starters, do their jobs for the most part, and make routine plays look routine. The thing about these types of players, especially young ones, is that the contracts they sign tend to reflect an expectation of growth. They're paid like A players or nearly so Yet stars usually catch the balls that our players often drop, make the tough solo tackles that our players often whiff, make more guys miss per year, tip a few extra passes, force a fumble or two over the course of a season etc just due to the superiority of their individual contribution. The calculus of football seems that the quality of a team is rarely a sum of its parts. A team of B players don't make a B team. More like a C team.

we don't have any impact players on D

and we only have 1 on offense

Brice dipped into M.D. Jennings territory Sunday.

Ouch. That is not territory you want to be in.

It wasn’t a stellar effort. I wish I could tell what they want to happen here.

Packer Report
I'm almost through one quarter of Sunday's game and Oren Burks is a bright spot. Not sure what the rest of the game will show.

how much did he play? i saw morrison on the field quite a bit, but i really wasn't paying attention to it

[Bretsky]

Well, we're not winning, so something(s) is wrong. Just have to identify the problem.

I'm willing to look past the Redskin game and look at the big picture... Pettine needs to figure out how to hide our weaknesses, which are many.

We're completely dead at LB... every LB on the roster is a below avg player.

I was trying to lead you to the answer by bolding that area and ask who should he responsible. Here's a hint...ThanksTed

Burks was on the field for only 8 snaps. Morrison 23. Not that surprising with Redskins running the ball almost twice as many times as they threw it.

Hunter Bradley had 4 funky ass snaps and that was his positive. He stunk all game. I don't think you should draft a Punter, but Scott is a big thing. On a couple Bradley stinko snaps, Scott saved us with brilliant fielding catches and did his job like nothing was happening. Brett Goode is still out there in FA land. Cut Bradley and sign 'ol Goode. He'll get back ion the swing of things and we won't have to sweat LSing.

That was asked in the presser and McCarthy said a change wasn't being considered.

In Packer Code means Brett Goode should be in Green and Gold by Weeks End.

Called it first in the Duke of Earl thread. There are only 2 things in the rye that Brice excels at, well, actually 3.

1. Hard hits

2. Getting injured

3. Getting teammates injured

Hard hits have been outlawed, rendering Brice impotent. Since mccarthy is mentality challenged and refuses to make change, Pack would actually be better off this season with Brice on IR.

Sign Eric Reid or trade for E-Tom!
