2013 TM93 WK3: Green Bay @ Cincinnati Gameday Thread

Sarcasm?

You don't get to post dum like that and claim sarcasm later.  

nah, he's hanging out at Excalibur's house.    

even if the niners lose today, they still own the tiebreaker against gb. which is why it's time to pile on wins, or else...

It's intentional trolling. I get it, very few other people do. Just move on. The last thing we need is more **** here.

That's for sure!

the schedule is very tough no doubt (how can new england, for example, continue to play these ready-made schedules). but really, it may take 12 wins to secure a spot in the nfc. 

Stupid remark. Grown up men (supposedly) getting worked up my questioning Saint Ted. Take Rodgers away and look at the rest of the overall talent both sides of the ball. TT is a good GM, not great. Nothing at TE beyond the drop-meister Finley. Letting Wells go last year has hurt them, a lot. And a poster here tells me about a rookie from Cornell was the plan at Center in 2013?

New England plays in a crap division. When you have six games guaranteed against scrubs it helps.

wasn't seeing the amount of whining I'd like to so I took charge. I'm a leader. 

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod

Take w/ grain of salt but Clay Matthews said sitting was preventative, plans on playing vs DET. "I don’t see myself missing any time"

If true, I owe you an apology.  

No, he's right.  They'll probably lose in next week's playoff game too.

Well be able to see that hot mess of a game on NFL Replay this week.

Aaron Rodgers after the game: Felt we gave it away offensively. ... I played poorly.

I don't know why but when a player or a coach owns up its easier to take.

Get healthy Packers.

You have no idea what you're talking about.  It's really that simple.  Read through some threads here and educate yourself on just how successful the Packer franchise has been over the past several seasons.  Just do a search under posts from Satori and you'll be on the right track.  

Seriously. You really need to do some research before you spout stuff like this. Scott Wells managed to break his foot and missed most of the 2012 season. He was a costly FA pick up for the Rams who watched sit in a boot cast most of the year. 

When he did play?:

From ESPN:

Now 32, Wells struggled mightily as a run blocker in just seven starts in 2012

I like the idea of Rodgers playing pissed off coming out of a bye week. 

Wells priced himself off the team. Can't blame him for taking the money but the team can't pay everyone.

You been posting the same dribble all day

.  Backbenchers like you are always coming out of the woodwork when the Packers are losing, or have lost a game.  Nowhere to heard from with these criticisms when we win--which, one would think, if these are your true beliefs you would be posting after we win.

They do have the bye week, so likely he'll be ready unless a later diagnosis is a more severe problem. My problem is after he left the game no one shouldered his load. They needed to sign a pass rush specialist but Ted rarely, very rarely, uses FA.  After the Bronco screw-up over Dumerville I was hoping. Or Osi.

defense played well.

While I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express how's this for a play call. 4th and inches, you call a Qb sneak. You go up to the line and as soon as your set you snap it catching the other team in it's adjustments or possibly napping thinking your going to try to draw them offside? 

@ excalidumdum: So if Ted doesn't sign players you want that makes him overrated? What exactly are your qualifcations to run a NFL franchise again?

MM said after the game that he was going to kick the field goal at the end, then "overthought" it and decided to go for it.

People forget that Jason Spitz actually took the starting job at center from Wells in 2009 before he was injured. Spitz is a free agent right now. Unless his body is just completely trashed, it would be worthwhile for the Packers to bring him in for a tryout.

I just signed into this place last Sunday. I have echoed these criticisms at KFFL, but thanks for the lecture.

Hind sight is 20/20.  At the time, Franklin was tearing it up and didn't have a negative run that I recall.  

Thanks for stopping by.  You have contributed nothing meaningful.  Your insight won't be missed should you choose not to post here anymore.

A QB sneak with EDS at center? Did you see Peko dump his sorry ass right into Rodgers's lap on that "sack"? I've been trying really hard to like EDS, but he just won't let me.

Wells was stepped on. Who could predict such an injury had he been signed  to an extension in Green Bay rather then letting him play out the string? Wake up. Number one deal: Protect the franchise. Backup plan: EDS. Second backup plan: Rookie from Cornell.

From Roto World --

Wish it?  You're living it.

Clearly the Packers are way off base...Follow the vikings blueprint...sign all former packers and live vicariously through all things Green and Gold or the BoBs model....Here's the thing I love about Emery. When he sees a problem or deficiency, he attacks it via multiple angles. He doesn't just sign one FA, he drafts the position as well. I think the Trestman/Emery duo are going to have a fantastic run in Chicago.

Heavy dose of on the board today

UR A Jackass.

 Make it happen, Ted!

Go back to KFFL or whatever the **** that place is dip****. 

And your insight is....... ? The O-Line is good? No problems with Saint Ted's drafting?  Not using FA to fill a hole? That about it?

Well. The hind sight is in the situation. I don't recall him lining up in a "we don't care if you know its coming" formation and the Packers OL pushing folks off the ball. It was a situation where Kuhn has had trouble getting yardage behind the Packers OL the lat couple of seasons. Franklin did great on draws, pitches etc. where the threat of the pass was present. He demonstrated great vision and balance.  This was different. It required the OL to move a massed DL long enough for a hand-off to work. It isn't something the Packers have excelled at with any RB of late.

There will be second guessing in other venues besides this.

-----------

Pro bowlers at every position.  Please explain this strategy and how you would balance the cap, keeping the team competitive over the long haul.  I'm waiting.

As we all know, we have never seen a smart, rookie Olineman come in and make a difference.  Oh wait, I forgot I know how to read.  

Only seeking out half truths to fit your agenda while willfully ignoring the rest of the story?  Where have I heard that before?
