Re: ARod is NFC Offensive Player of the Month

I'm glad Dan Comper thinks AR is better than Neil O'Donnell. I guess this means that he thinks AR is better than Jay Fiedler, too. Sounds like fightin words for Pie Face Betard.

Re: NOT CAPERS FAULT!

JJSD ·
I tend to agree that perhaps a new perspective would light a fire under these players, but let's compare what Dan Comper had on Sunday to what he had at the end of 2010, when everyone, and I mean everyone thought he was a geenyous. Secondary 2010 - Younger/En Fuego Tramon, Collins, Peprah and Woodson with Shields as the nickel 2013 - Older Tramon, Burnett, Richardson/Jennings/Flotsam and Shields with Hyde as the nickel. Which do you like better? LBs 2010 - Younger/En Fuego/Healthy Matthews,...

Re: If the Packers win those two OT games

JJSD ·
I think those losses did have a bit of a motivating/focusing effect, and it does seem that MM teams almost need to be pushed against a wall before they turn it on. I actually think the biggest factor in this latest turnaround is simply that they're starting to get somewhat settled on lineups and rotations/packages after having seemingly a million new faces in the lineup weekly for the first six games. Continuity is a pretty underrated concept, and for the past few games GB has been able to...

Re: If the Packers win those two OT games

FreeSafety ·
Correct. Injuries didn't make Crosby push the ball just a bit so that it hit the upright, or cause Francois to stand a few inches too close to the LOS. IMO the Packers should have won both of those games. My question is do you think a 5-1 Packers team coming off of two dramatic wins goes on the 3 game streak and shuts out the Jets? I am not sure that it does, although Bert came in and gave the ball to our defense 3 times and Dan Comper had the perfect scheme lined up for the Jets so part of...

Re: 11-1 in last 12

JJSD ·
10, 45, 34, 45, 28, 20, 28, 34, 48, 27, 30, 17... These are the points GB put up in those last 12 home games. 366 points total. 30.5 points per game if you're scoring at home. A few of those scores were by the D, but perhaps some actual numbers would be helpful. I'm not disagreeing that the defense has outperformed the offense this year. To say it's all Dan Comper is a huge stretch JMO IMHO.

Speaking of Dan Compers, I noticed no one is talking about him being considered for any head coaching jobs which suits me just fine. I heard McCarthy awhile back say how he should be considered for one of the upcoming job openings. I thought,"shut up you fat penguin!!" I think the entire defensive deserve raises

Re: Pass Defense

JJSD ·
The approach was clearly to have Newton try to beat them throwing, which he came closer to doing than most, probably Dan Comper included, thought he would. Not having Tramon was also enormous, as Woodson was playing outside in coverage instead of wreaking havoc near the line with blitzes and covering those slot/outlet guys like the TE or the back to eliminate those throws.

Re: Thought's on today's game?

JJSD ·
Gotta admit that before and even during the game today, I agreed with FreeSafety in that I had Pakrz -like thoughts. Huge win against a desperate, albeit terribly coached team on the road with the JV's. Seriously - that defense looked like the second half of preseason games on paper, and they got it done. Credos to Dan Comper.

Re: Admit you were wrong (But at least you know who Red Green is)

JJSD ·
I thought Shields had a lot of potential, but I also thought Dan Comper would stop trying to tweak Kampy's YAC and spend that time trying to cover Shields up while he worked towards reaching that potential. I cannot believe how good Shields has become within one season. Sacks, forced fumbles and INT's on Sunday, both of which were huge picks. He's like a budding baby Woodson with the way he plays. He's made at least one huge play in every game recently it seems, and it's at the point where...

Re: 2012 Packers Defense. What do you expect?

JJSD ·
15 or higher and they take home another Lombardi, assuming the offense stays relatively healthy. They don't need to be the 2000 Ravens. The offense is historically good. Ted just loaded Dan Comper up with a cavalcade of athletes to stick into holes. You have to figure at least a couple of them make an impact based purely on averages. They'll be better for sure. They can't get worse.

Don Compers somehow able to out strategize the immortal Lombardi-esque Belichick and to hold the up and coming Minneapolis Zimmers to under 25 points. He held the Peterson-less Vikings to under 25! Wowza!!! Happy days are here again! In all honesty, I gotta hand it to the Dominator, he did a fantastic job today. And yes, BB is still a better coach than MM. Until MM gets to that 5th SB, that'll be the case. 1 down, 4 to go.

It's easy to knock Dom and his scheme, etc. But his defense this year has only given up more than 24 points twice this year. And only more than 21 two other times. Seattle just flat out beat them. But the Saints don't score 44 if Rodgers doesn't tweak the hammy.

This is an elite team board. I know you tend to react negatively when anyone suggests the possibility that someone outside the organization may be better than their counterpart inside the organization. I'll try to be more aware of your sensibilities in the future.

I think the D has turned the corner. Its no coincidence it happened in the season that MM gets more involved and in particular when we start addressing ILB. So to answer your question, yes. This is an Elite team with a legit shot at Lombardi Trophy.

I'm referring to your suggestion that NO wouldn't have scored 44 if Rodgers didn't get hurt, which I agree with. That would suggest that he's really the no. 1 factor of this team succeeding or failing.

Yes, it is an elite team. But that's not over-optimism or crowing, it's the bar they need to live up to. They are elite and need to keep playing like that until they are holding the Lombardi trophy at the end of the season.

Of course he is. It's just that the people who try to paint AR as some sort of mark against the guy are ****ing morons. It took balls of Sheetrock to draft AR and balls to develop him and move on to him. They developed the best player in football.

Doesn't take a jeenyous to figure out AR is the #1 factor in the team succeeding or not. But that wasn't the point of my comment. It was merely to point out that while the D has given up yards this year (near bottom of league), they've not given up to points to match....for a variety of reasons.

Points given up is the main stat, besides wins and losses. Yards surrendered mean zilch if you come up with a W, so I guess we agree. Yes, this is an elite team, and is probably the prohibitive favorite to win the SB right now, along with the team they just beat today, to answer the original question.

I'll say this about NE. Then they get filed until February. I wonder what they're history looks like if Charles Woodson gets the game winning strip/fumble in 2001 that he caused. Gruden took a CA team to a Foxborough snowstorm against Billy and won. Does Gruden stay? Does Bledsoe start 2002?

1 play that changed history? The Packers (coaches and players) downplayed the Win last night in the post game interviews. Brady was visibly upset during the game and was not happy with the loss after the game. Brady knew they were playing the best in the league and they couldn't get it done. Yes, the Packers are elite.

Green Bay has been considered a finesse team under McCarthy mostly due to the offense, and that seems fair. Yesterday that was a smash mouth physical defense. Barrington with two physical stops on the Pats 1st drive. Other than two Gronk receptions, the DBs tackled well, not a lot of YAC. Very nice to see.

It is also really nice to see this team without a bunch of starters on IR. TT, MM and DC all look better when they can execute their game plans with the proper players. This team has been elite for the past 20 years. Two poor seasons during that span? Not many teams can claim that.
