Studs And Duds - Packers vs. Rams

[mraynrand]

How about stubby as a dud just for that dumbass call that resulted in the safety. Also for trying to throw on 3rd and a short 2, yet trying to run on 3rd and long.

Two calls to complain about. Did you notice the Juggernaut Rams offense had some awful calls and possessions against a pathetic defense?

What is crazy is if MN ends up losing tonight we'll only be a game out of first place in this division. I hope what we saw today is a sign of things to come. You never know...

Could be. We could lose a lot of close competitive games due to brain lock epic stupid maneuvers. I'm hoping for wins.

Studs - Aaron Jones and Alexander on defense.

Duds - rest of team and coaching staff. We have yet to put together a complete game on offense, defense, and special teams. This team is frustrating to watch to say the least.

Maybe I'm like a broken record, but the whole O Line, with the possible exception of Linsley, are DUDS - perpetual duds. Yeah, at times today they were better than usual, but the only way they weren't DUDS is horribly low expectations. Lane Taylor and Bulaga were particularly bad. They stand out as especially bad when the other team has a good O Line.

Scott was a dud today. Montgomery shouldn't even be on the team after his colossally duddish performance.

Most of our D was Studs today. Martinez, Clark, and Daniels, of course. Lowery was decent. Fackrell had some moments, as did Gilbert. Did Nick Perry even play? If so, I guess he would qualify as a dud. Jaire Alexander was excellent. Whitehead was decent considering low expectations.

Aaron Rodgers was Aaron Rodgers - you just can't say better than that. Davante Adams - who several years ago I didn't like - is approaching superstar status. MVS and ESB are gonna be star players too, sooner rather than later. Aaron Jones was decent, maybe better than decent.

I'm rapidly coming around to being a Pettine fan, although he shoulda used that jailbreak blitz more and found away to counter the Rams counter to it.

As for McCarthy, I'm not quite ready to hop on the Fire McCarthy train yet, but I'm getting there.

A special Dud award to the team doctors who declared Sam Shields unfit a couple of years ago.

Stubby can't block for Taylor. I know this is hard to process, but they really had a great play call there.

There should have been three aggressive shots down the field. If they fail, I can live with that.

What I can't live with is Stubby's all too predictable dink, run routine.

He needs to be replaced 12 minutes and 36 seconds after our season ends. I've completely bailed on his ass.

Duds: Uncool Pack fans and their cries for smashmouth futbol.

To quote a wise man, “the Packers have Aaron Fucking Rodgers at QB, and uncool Pack fans want Rodgers to hand the ball off all day?” (Yes, Rand, you have my permission to use this quote as your sig.)

Zook is a dope who should be shown the door but I don't blame him for the fake punt. That was just a great call by the Rams. Plus they didn't get anything out of it in the end.

Affirmative.

It's a passing league. Packers basically played a defense that dared the Rams to beat them with running the ball, a relying on dominant corners, and a good D-line interior. Shut down the pass and you can take gut punches all day.

I dunno if you’re being sarcastic, and I know that stats are for losers, but the O was more out of sync in the 1st half than a Brooks Bollinger-led offense with that smash mouth shit, scoring only 8 points (-2 for the stupid safety). 2nd half, Pack ran only 4 times. O was more in sync than N’Sync in its prime. Jones’ homer was set up by the pass.

Want to run all day? Sign Brooks Fucking Bollinger!!!

This was a tough loss and I didn't expect Packers being in a possible winning situation vs Rams but it wasn't just the stupid fumble by Ty; it was evident during the first half that the Packers D had come to play...yet the offense was slow and play calling was the usual Stubby style which is the lack of smart playcalling. Packers offense were not on the same page aggressively as the Packers D; Packers should have scored 17-21 points in the first half and only giving up a TD. I want Stubby gone - NOW! The season is an 8 wins season at best anyway. Show some life, dear Green Bay Packers, and show that you care about winning now and that being average (plus way below average without AR) isn't good enough. Packers doesn't deserve a 4th HOF in the future; they need to learn to win as a team. Bye Stubby!

nope. look at the defensive game plan. Packers much more focused on shutting down passing attack. Let their front handle Gurley in the run game, but stop the pass. It shoulda worked.

It worked in the 1st half. Pack O was out of sync due mainly to that smashmouth shit. Had the Pack fucked the run and threw a million times, Pack would've been up 35-8 at the half, rendering Gurley irrelevant in the 2nd half.

Fuck the run, especially with the Great Arm of Butte at QB.

Stubby drives me crazy but he did have this bunch of misfits ready to play yesterday.

I think the interior of the O line had big time problems with the Rams front and that is why our offense sputtered at times.
