Packer Rats Winners and Losers of GB VS CHI

[MJZiggy]

Dave Rayner - well, no one was actually delusional enough to believe he was going to make a 53-yarder.

Maybe not make it, but keeping it in the same hemisphere would have been nice.

Hawk was all over the field I think he had a great game today also woodson had to be the biggest loser today I tried to focus on him all day today the only thing he did decent today was his returns and I dont think TT want to pay him thay much for his returning abilities .

[son of a vic]

I didn't see a push Retail, I saw a defender making a play on the ball(what a concept), and their feet got together. It wasn't a blatant push, he was more focused on the ball, than the receiver.

Just because I didn't think it was a penalty, doesn't make me a negative sov, does it?

[BallHawk]

I had a bet with my Dad he wouldn't come even close.

Let's say I'm $1 richer because of that.

[VegasPackFan]

Am I the only one who thinks we should give Fergie a shot at starting next week?

He has been "Given a shot" enough times in the past. Let it go. We might as well keep playing with Driver and Jennings as the starters. Jennings has a lot of upside potential. Fergie has done all he's ever gonna do.

nope, you did that last year. I called you black koolaid then too. i should do an avatar for you with a black kool aid guy... it would be great for you...

[billy_oliver880]

WTF happened to the team today? I went for a long ride on my bike and I came back and what the hell? I am glad I didn't stay home to watch it.

[FritzDontBlitz]

Am I the only one who thinks we should give Fergie a shot at starting next week?

i have said all along that fergy should be the 2 and jennings should handle all return duties. the return game was jennings' thing in college, expecting him to be the 2 against their most formidable division opponent was obviously asking too much of him in week one. jennings was invisible for most of the game until he showed up for two drops and as an innocent bystander on favre's two picks. i think jennings was overwhelmed today.

and while i'm discussing wr's, how STUPID does tt look now for only having 4 wideouts on the roster? is it too late to get rod gardner back? what about koren robinson? is don beebe still playing?

[retailguy]

yes, yes you are.

Who, Rayner?

I said outloud to my Bronco-fan companions that there was a better chance of the Bears blocking and returning the kick for a TD than Rayner making the kick. And I'm an optimist.

[VegasPackFan]

The problem is not the WR's on this team.

It is that we have a crappy offensive scheme that cant score any points. I refer you the the 49'ers offense of last year, which M3 was responsible for.

[FavreChild]

Yet *someone* was responsible for hiring McCarthy.

AHEM.

[Deputy Nutz]

Winners:

Cullen Jenkins
Aaron Kampman
Nick Barnett
Donald Driver
Ahman Green


Losers:

Entire defensive backfield
Brady Poppinga (Not down on him, but a tough day).
Chad Clifton
Mark Tauscher
Noah Herron

I agree with Cullen Jenkins, other than Kampman he was the only one that got after Grossman. I wasn't al that impressed with Barnett after the INT. I thought he he got stoned on a couple of blocks. That one they showed the replay of, where Desmond Clark led up the hole and pancaked Barnett. That looked like it hurt, Barnett didn't even see him coming.

[retailguy]

Yet *someone* was responsible for hiring McCarthy.

AHEM.

We were trying NOT to point this out, but YES, YOU were responsible!

[motife]

Just listened to the McCarthy interview.

He sounded very rational. Says it's a great learning experience.

Mccarthy's definitely not a whiner.

If this team stays scrappy, I like it. I like the commitment to the running game. Favre needs protection, but let's face it, he's a borderline liability to this team and to some extent is holding back its future progress. I love Favre, but he's becoming another Vinny Testaverde.

Bob Sanders and his whole staff must be fired and a real Defensive co-ordinator hired before we know what kind of talent we have. This is a Bob Slowik type defensive staff.


But for the reason for the post is, at the end of the interview something McCarthy said he thinks his biggest problem is his team not getting a big head from their successes.
