More Banjo: Week 16 @ NYJets

[pbmax]

J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

If you need a road win, this is the place to go. They didn't make Gute's job any easier, but I am glad they won.

Condolences to the lame-assed "fans" who wanted the Packers to lose.

I always root for the Packers, but I sure would have liked a higher draft pick.

Rodgers had one of his best games. Did not start out that way and he is still holding onto the ball too long with shaky protection.

Stunned Bulaga made it through the game. Especially after he took a knee and looked hurt on one play.

McCray spent more than half the year looking like he cannot play. But Lucas Patrick looks like a keeper. If they got one new guard starter somewhere, Taylor or Patrick would round it out OK, even though it wasn't Taylor's strongest year either.

Not sure about either receiver except that MVS quick start probably got overtaken by ESB. Moore is buried. Kumerow knows how to run routes. If they do not sign Cobb, he could be the slot, 3rd down guy easily if they have threats outside to complement Adams.

Alexander had a groin and didn't return. Been a tough year for DBs.

I agree with you about the guards, but I believe we should keep Bulaga and draft a new tackle. Kumerow may be Cobb’s replacement. He does have moves and seems to integrate into the offense better than the other rookies. I still think we need to draft another WR early for development, because I think 2 of the 3 rookies we drafted this year will wash.

Brown may be a keeper. We need to re-sign Breeland and maybe keep Williams at safety next year.

[Bossman641]

Tony Brown? I dunno. He seems like he tries hard but I feel like he gets beat all day.

[texaspackerbacker]

Again today, when it was desperation time, and they turned it over to Aaron Rodgers, things went great. Short quick passes don't cut it. Throwing it down the field is the way to go. Avoiding the rush and scrambling, primarily to pass, but with the QB running as an option also, that also is what's needed.

All the noise about how we need to draft a WR, a big no way to that. Adams, MVS, St. Brown, Kumerow, and yes, Moore is still in the picture. What more do you want? If we need a 6th WR, there's always somebody good around as a UDFA or maybe 7th round. What we need among receivers is better coaching - coming back to the QB in the scramble drill, whatever.

TE also, drafting one early is not a good idea. I have come to the conclusion that I'd rather see the Packers get rid of Graham and save the money. Kendrick, though, has improved to where I don't hate him and would like to see him re-signed for a moderate amount. Also, Tonyan seems worth keeping. Any more than that, we ought to be able to draft late or get as a UDFA.

The future is bright for RBs. A few downs each game with both A. Jones and Williams on the field is fine, but rotating them is better. The probable UDFA I'd like to see picked up is Taiwan Deal of the Badgers. The guy just might be a decent pro.

I also like Lucas Patrick. I'm thinking part of the shittiness of our O Line will be fixed with a new O Line coach. Still, we should draft at least 2 between the 2nd and 5th rounds.

It wouldn't bother me at all if the new head coach lets Pettine go. I really don't see that he is all that great. With him or with somebody else as D Coordinator, we need to draft mostly on the D side.

And I really hope we pick up a kicker (or several) to find somebody to replace Crosby. He makes a helluva lot of money, and a whole lot of kickers drawing near minimum pay do as good or better than he does.

remember that when in 4 to 5 years youre still bitching that we are always mediocre because we never get high draft picks

at least you'll forever be able to celebrate this win that will go down in history as doing nothing but cost us the chance at an elite prospect

we won a meaningless game today, and it might have cost us the chance to get back to the super bowl one more time in the rodgers era

what was proved by the win today? that we can beat a really really bad team in overtime? thats it

[Rutnstrut]

Tex, I notice you didn't say anything about how well they ran the ball today. Without the threat of the run late in the game, they don't win. I'm not talking about Rodgers running.

one good thing looking forward is that, at least for another season, we are completely set at RB with jones and williams

we just need to find a HC and OC that know how to use them

EDIT: should have been "best games of this year". Not an all timer.

Yes on Tackle. Working on assumption that everyone thinks this was probably confusing on my part.

Also agree on WR. Need another wide threat since none appear to be locks.

I know some of you are unhappy about dropping in the upcoming draft but I for one am glad we won't be in the same list along with the woeful 1958 Scooter McLain Packers that lost every damn road game.

After going to all the trouble they did to tank the season, and position themselves for better draft picks, having Rodgers pull out all the stops to prove he can win without Stubby was a meaningless and potentially very costly display of pure vanity.

But I confess, I enjoyed the second half. It's still just a transient football game, and I might be dead come next fall.

Did you know before this season that the 58 team was the last packer team to lose all their road games?

No one did, cause no one cared until this years team was so bad

We’ll now forget again about the 58 team just like history will forget this years team and today’s loss

Win or lose today, history will only remember this season for being complete shitshow, we may as well have gotten something good out of it
