Studs and Duds, Chefs

Studs: Gary. A great draft pick. Barnes, other than on the long reception to Kelce. Dillon and Jones. Could have used more carries.

Duds: Drayton. Wirtel. Amari Rodgers. Matt LaFleur. Seriously. Why not call plays that attack the middle of the field which is continually being vacated during 5- and 6-man blitzes?

Might be a little harsh, but I knew the game was over when King gave up that soft completion to Hardman. He's just not a good player. He wasn't horrible in this game, but he was more of a liability than Rasul fucking Douglas, so...

I suppose Love was a dud, but I put the blame on LaFleur first. Things would probably have been considerably different with a line of Bak/Jenkins/Myers/Runyan/Turner, but that's what we had to work with.

[King Friday]

Completely agree on King. Your defense needs to prevent a first down. When you see they are going to complete a short pass just past the LOS, come up and try to make an immediate tackle. You may fail, but you have to go for it. King was hesitant and gave up a 7 yard play. He's not a good player. He never should have been resigned.

[Joemailman]

Thought Krys Barnes was a stud. Gave up a completion or two 2 Kelce (What LB doesn't), but had some great tackles in the run defense. One of which saved the Packers 4 points.

Packers CB's were studs: Chiefs WR's had 8 catches for 59 yards and 0 TD's.

Duds:

Aaron Rodgers. I am so done with that motherfucker. So done. He carps all offseason about the team not listening to him and using him to help recruit, and he feels disrespected. And he had a point there. So Guter sorta fesses up, trades for Cobb, things look a little better. And Rodgers, in the post games, sounds like he's a little mellower, maybe he's changed a little, maybe this could work out.

But in fact, he was a douchebag all along. He always thinks he's the smartest guy in the room, so he played word games when he was asked if he was vaccintated instead of being honest. On top of that, he used his leverage against the Packers to push them to help him cover up the fact that he wasn't vaccinated. They let him in the media room unmasked, and so on. And boo on the organization for playing along.

I know as fans we are generally hypocritical - we don't care about the morals of the players as long as they are great players. I'm that way, too. But this guy has just gone too far, even for me. He's a fucking jackass, thinks he's the smartest guy in the room and too bad for you if you can't keep up. But in truth he's a manipulative liar. And now the whole organization's in knots because of him. And fuck the organization too for how they handled this. I know they felt their backs were to the wall, but now look what's resulted. Will they lose draft picks?Maybe.

So for me, Aaron Rodgers is the biggest fucking dud of all, and I hope the minute the season's over they ship his ass somewhere else. I don't care that Jordan Love didn't look great. I'd rather watch him try to develop than watch the Rodgers shitshow any more.

Second dud? Maurice Drayton. I'm sorry, I hear he's a great guy, but the special teams were a disaster and have been off and on for the entire season.

Third dud? The punter. Bojo. I know he's a great punter, but on the two botched field goals, he didn't even make an attempt to spin the laces around. And he was doing that before they switched long snappers, so it's hard to simply blame the long snapper. Crosby often looks aggravated with Bojo after field goal attempts.

So I hope they find someone else who can be the holder. Bojo seems to have no ability in that area.

Love didn't look great, but that's to be expected. I wonder if LeFleur had leaned on the running game more, especially Dillon, if that would've slowed those blitzes down a bit. I think LeFleur forgot he had a very raw young guy starting at QB on the road.

[Joemailman]

People calling Kevin King a dud in this game are seeing what they want to see. He's the favorite whipping boy. Everybody gives up some short stuff to Chief's WR's because their deep speed is so dangerous. The key is to tackle well when it happens. The Packers CB's all did that well Sunday.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't care that Jordan Love didn't look great. I'd rather watch him try to develop than watch the Rodgers shitshow any more.

I'm down with a Randy Wright reboot. Trade Rodgers for Taysom Hill & former Badger offensive tackle to be named later.

Following the packers has gotten uncomfortable for a large chunk of fans. I was able to see past favre's ego. Hot Tub Chewy was fuzzy situation. Aunt raping crossed a line. AR has proved to be such a completely selfish, insufferable ass. Damn. I think I'll probably give up the Packers until AR is out of town. Or maybe I'll feel differently in a couple weeks

Dillion was a stud. We had good blocking. Rushing or recieving we should have smashed the crap outta them like hrs the Titans.

Blitzing can stifle the run game too. I was a broken record through most of the game, I thought they needed to pass more - and downfield - on first down. The blitzing was effective, IMO, because they were doing it on long yardage situations. I kinda have the opposite prescription, they needed to treat Love like he was a capable QB. Roll the dice and hope he finds a rhythum. The short passing was pointless, they were sitting on the routes.

Packers had 20 rushes (by running backs) and 34 pass plays. Those numbers should have been pretty much reversed.

Can you think of a game where an NFL team won with a 3:2 run-pass ratio? Maybe you can. But I think you might be stuck in the last century.

Preach it, Brother.

I'm sure the Titans and Ravens have been there in recent years. I'm just too lazy to look it up.

Duds:
Homeopathic therapy
MLF Love and scheme not able to handle the pressure they knew would come
ST - catastrophically shitty
Studs
Defense - light years from the New Orleans game

Ravens last year nearly did it for an entire season. They were 11-5. At any rate, this was not a typical game. Packers were starting a QB making his 1st start, and their RB's were averaging 5 YPC. A.J. Dillon averaged as much per rush as Love averaged per pass attempt. But Dillon got 8 carries and Love threw the ball 34 times.
