Attacking pussys from multiple angles is a given, and highly effective for the desired result.

ZOMG, H5! I think you've given me my new 'tagline'!
So hey baby, I got squirrel on my head wasn't working anymore?!?!
You know, speaking of, I wonder whatever happened to squirrel pee?

I think she asked jaymo for directions how to get here.
Some comments on "getting jobbed":
I thought the PF on Matthews would've been enforced (half the distance and automatic 1st down), then the PF on Staley (back 'em up 15). I assume since the ref said "by rule" the penalties offset, the fact that they were dead ball fouls must factor in.
I have no problem with the call on CM3; it wasn't particularly flagrant, but it's too obvious a call for the refs to not make. I have no problem with the call on Staley; it was deserved no matter what flimsy excuse the league wants to offer.
I have a BIG problem with the league saying the call on Staley was "wrong", without also mentioning there should've been a call on Boldin. He should've been tossed right then and there; not because he had a big day against us, but because it was deserved no matter who it was.
Also saw lots of taunting going on. I thought that was a "point of emphasis" this year?
Thing is GD, the call on Staley is a JUDGEMENT call. Those are missed every other play it seems. The extra down is a MISINTERPRETATION of the rules themselves. Apples and oranges and the league is trying to say one negates the other. Total BS.
Hankya: Bob says EDS was "fine."
Just thought I'd pass that on in case you missed it.
Bob is drunk, again.

Green Bay Packers: Inside linebacker A.J. Hawk was the only middle/inside linebacker who had more missed tackles (3) than solo tackles (2) last week.

Guard Flip
"Much was made this offseason about the Packers flipping their guards from their usual spots as Josh Sitton has now moved in at left guard while T.J. Lang is starting on the right. It wasn’t a good start on either side as both players graded at an identical -4.0, though for slightly different reasons."
much more in the article
EDS graded out at +1.7 on PFF. Allowing no sacks, hits or hurries in 41 pass blocking snaps.
Having to play along side lang and sitton is effecting EDS or EDS would be grading out better.
And having to play along side 10 other guys is effecting hawk or hawk would be grading out better.
On the play that Eddie Lacy leaped for a touchdown, EDS completely whiffed on his block, ran 5 yards into the endzone, then turned around and raised his arms up in a "touchdown" signal while he stood and watched the play.
The cool thing about having the likes of Bush, EDS, Hawk, Slodum and Campen on the team is we always have a built-in person to blame. It saves quite a bit of time analyzing.
I thought the offensive line, as a whole, played pretty damn good against the Niners. I also thought the worst performance on the offensive line against SF wasn't handed in by EDS.
EDS didn't completely whiff on his block. The 9er DL moved out of the way - RESPECT!
In addition to respect yards we also now have respect blocks. Love it!
How did some of the other players grade out? Specifically, Tramon, Shields, Hawk, Perry, Datone and Lacy?
Here's McGinn's ratings (whether you think is a complete idiot or genius is up to you):
Opinions on McGinn vary greatly depending on whether or not his analysis is in line with popular thinking.
One that made me laugh but also respect was McGinn's comment about Bush playing dimeback where he attempted to take on Mike Iupati's block. Yeah, he got utterly destroyed but in hindsight how many corners would even try to clog that lane.
No, opinions on McGinn vary because sometimes he posts outstanding articles and other times his takes are horrible. I don't know that one should draw an opinion on him overall based on any one singular piece.
For instance, I think his analysis pieces are really good, as he incorporates perspectives from scouts and a network that you know he has spent an entire career building. I think he sucks in interviews just because he comes off as a guy who isn't great with people. Listen to his podcast with Dunne sometime - he's not a guy who likes the new reality of having to deal somewhat directly with readers.
He also stirs the pot from time to time, which in the modern world of 'journalism' you're supposed to do. He's also still got a bit of a skid mark on his chest from that horrible, horrible piece on tacking in training camp and injuries, as folks will probably remember that pile of stupid much like some remember Bedard as the 'Rodgers = Jay Fiedler' guy. Some takes are so bad they stick to you for awhile.
EDS graded out at +1.7 on PFF. Allowing no sacks, hits or hurries in 41 pass blocking snaps.
What about his run blocking? No BS, I saw him go several plays without even touching a defender. Just complete whiffs.

That sounds made up.
On the play that Eddie Lacy leaped for a touchdown, EDS completely whiffed on his block, ran 5 yards into the endzone, then turned around and raised his arms up in a "touchdown" signal while he stood and watched the play.
That's what he's supposed to do on that play.
That's worth +1.7 all by itself
Another look at Jordy Nelson's sideline catch vs. SF with the help of ESPN's @Sport_Science http://t.co/Ss07eMTsci #Packers

Excellent!
As much as I hate Cris Carter, Jordy's catch reminded me of him doing the same thing countless times. The ball out of bounds, the lean, the toe-tap were all perfect. How he caught that Rodgers bullet while doing all of that was awesome!
As great as AR is and as much credit as he gets, he gets help from catches like that. Yeah the WRs get paid to do that but show me how many WR corps in the NFL make as many tough catches as ours does on a regular basis.
More importantly, did Rodgers take responsibility for that INT he threw to placate Gerg?
AR didn't throw that int. Finley kicked it to the db. Ugliest muff/dropkick/wiff/drop/ right in Finley's hands/dingeridoo I've seen in a long time.

Laughable. Now go analyze the overall body of work for EDS, a "development" project going 4 years strong. He's a backup, not a starter. You work with what you have and some areas are weaker than others, that's just fact. He's a weak link going on 4 years now. You want to think he's super man after one game, go ahead.
EDS, always playing to be "not the worst". That's like saying you only have a slight case of herpes.
that wasn't very positive
EDS is a probowler. Meaning, he's probably really good at bowling.
Turns out he is running a probowl campaign on youtube.. "TheRealEDS62"
Here is his first highlight video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...amp;feature=youtu.be
I have a feeling he will be sharring some more today, stay tuned.
He runs right past 31, who ends up tackling Lacy at the goal line.. LOL
I have hope that EDS will develop into a stable player (that's me being positive). Again, I would be okay with a average, consistent player (see AJ Hawk). I look forward to Tretter coming off the PUP and getting some experience.
