[Joemailman]

Studs:

Gary

Aaron Jones

Clark

Duds:

Rodgers

Special Teams

Offensive coaches - That was pathetic after 1st drive.

[Thirteen Below]

Dud:

Matt LaFleur.

That was the game plan he spent two fucking weeks putting together? You kidding me? And not firing Drayton months ago? Jesus christ, LaFleur even called out his own special teams coach before the game, saying he just hoped special teams didn't cost them the game. Have you ever heard a head coach say that before? If he's that aware of it, why didn't he do something about it months ago? Replace him, or get him some help? Bring in a special assistant, whatever.

This is on LaFleur more than any single other person.

Additional duds:

Any TE on the roster. They made one play the entire night.

I have to agree with this. Rodgers played poorly, but the offensive ineptitude is also at least somewhat on MLF. The decision to not fire Drayton will be one that MLF rues to his grave.

Another dud:

Long snapper Wirtel (edited for mistake of saying Hunter Bradley). The blocked punt was nothing special. He let a rusher drive him all the way back into the punter.

Studs:

For the time they were available:
Z. Smith
Dillon
Amari Rodgers is doing better on returns

Also:
Gary
Clark
Barnes
D. Adams

Duds:
Wirtel - snapped OK, needs to block
Rodgers - nothing specific, just expected more
M. Lewis - for that one drop, still blocking well
Lazard - had a good year, not a good night tonight

[Bretsky]

DUDS

Coaches
Tight Ends
Offensive Line
Quarterback
Special Teams
Wide Receivers except Adams

Really, hard to find any bright spots besides the defense

Yes, I think it is Wirtel though. Bradley was released earlier. Wirtel is wiry at 228 and lost his balance on that rush on the punt. Can we get Patrick or Myers to learn to long snap?

[call_me_ishmael]

Man, this one stings. How can the Packers special teams be so f'n inept year after year?

How did Aaron Freaking Rodgers not spread the ball around?

I kind of think it's just nice to close out the era and move on.

I was wondering why one of the hogs wasn't out there. Those guys just got wooped.

Yes your right. He took Bradley’s number.
