Pos/Neg's Packers Lions

This.

-Slowscum

-Jones

-Otherwise decent posters talking about smoking Matt Flynn's cigar

 

Can't think of any positives.

+

Too much to list

 

-

Rodgers aggravating the calf

Suh doing his best to make it even worse

Blocked kick

Onside kick on free kick

+ =

Packers Win

 

- =

MM play calling in the first red zone series.

Suh is a POS

Special Teams

Bedwetters in the chat room that said the game and season was over when Arod tripped over the 10 yard line.

Why does it feel like the season's over.

4 time NFC North Champs. #2 seed. This game would have been 45-17 if AR doesn't get hurt. AR gets off the mat and saves 2014. The team was staggering a bit. What a QB

 

Zero negatives

 

Time for my 2014 NFC North clinching single malt scotch. 

Lot of players manned up today. Eddie is a freak. Aaron is a cyborg.

 

Richard Rodgers was a man out there tonight. A man.

Milestone: Jordy Nelson set the Packers’ single-season record for receiving yards and became the first receiver in team history to gain more than 1,500 yards. He finished with 1,519, breaking Robert Brooks' record of 1,497 yards in 1995.

++

NFC-N 4-peat

Rodgers, was not to be denied  (curious what the coach thinks of the sneak?)

Yes, OL

Cobb

Honorable mention to Jeremy Wilcox of Wausau, whose beard Aaron Rodgers tugged for good luck. He holds coach’s phone if headphones don’t work

 

 

--

ST

1 - Another blocked FG... that would cost them in the playoffs

2 - free-kick

3 - Morgan, right in the breadbasket

 

 

Masthay had 1 punt after Flynn's series, and then again after the game was over.

+ Rodgers gutty performance.

+ O line pass pro and run game against great front four.

+ No drops

+ Clay playing like SB year Clay.

+ Limited Megatron somehow.

 

- MM red zone play calling.

- Special teams coverage and block kick.

- Continue to give Brad Jones playing time.

+ Caldwell's idiotic challenge
- The referees couldn't tack on a helmet-to-helmet pentaly when they watched the replay

+ Matt Flynn didn't turn the ball over
- Is there anybody who didn't see the sace coming from a mile away?

- Going for it on 4th and goal
+ That probably set up the punt return TD

- Ndamokung Suh is a dirty player.  He deserves a suspension but probably won't get one.

- There aren't enough - signs to detail the level of suck that is Brad Jones.  It's tough to be worse than AJ Hawk, and yet every week, Jones proves that it is in fact possible.  Physics tells us there's no such thing as a total vacuum, but Brad Jones sucks more than a total vacuumwould.

- The referees even suggesting the non-fumble that led to the replay challenge was a turnover before changing their decision.  Logic dictates that if your ass is on the field when a defender touches you, that's down by contact.  Even an idiot like me sitting at home can figure that out.

+ I wasn't in the chat room when Rodgers tweaked his calf.  I can only imagine the pants-wetting that ensued.

Per NBC, NFL will review ass-suh's stomp but King says there is more of a "grey" area then Dominic Raoila. Suspension is possible.

 

As Aikman said in the game, there is no way you don't realize your stepping on a player.

Gray area my foot.

 

There's a sliver of plausible deniability that his first step back was unintentional, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He clearly knew what was going on when the second foot went on the leg, and then he deliberately put all the weight of his body on that foot.

 

This POS needs to be suspended, and I'd hope offensive linemen that face him from here on out make it their personal mission to hurt him.

Positives

- NFC NORTH CHAMPS AGAIN

- 8-0 at home

- MVP Rodgers gutting it out in a big game and playing well

- OL did much better vs Lions DL this time around. Unit is playing very well

- Lacy/Starks - Was this best performance by RB vs Lions D this season?

- Fumble recovery...huge momentum shift

- Cobb. Pay that man

- Get that much needed Bye week!

- Hyde Punt return for TD

- Getting the Safety

 

Negatives

- Red zone playcalling on that first series. Give it to Lacy early and often at the 1 there

- Rodgers re-aggravating calf strain. Positive he was able to return, but he likely is back to square one with that injury

- Another blocked FG

- ST still with too many gaffes

- Brad Jones

- Brad Jones

- Brad Jones...seriously, I hate seeing him on the field

- Lacy fumble

 

He felt the leg under his right foot, and he went back with the left leg on pure impulse. It's what he does, he probably can't help himself.

Brad jones is incapable of good football at this point.

We saw a lot of AJ Hawk in packages. Don't know why. Dude just runs in cement and arrives at plays a week late. He's not just hit the wall, he's laying 6 feet under it.

- Another blocked FG

I would have gone for it there, myself.

So fired up about Suh...forgot this

 

+++ FIRST ROUND BYE

 

---- I dunno...Brad Jones sucks?

+++ Doc McKenzie and his halftime treatment 

 

Very impressive:

 

@zachkruse2

In 2014:

 

Eddie Lacy: 1,139 yards, 13 total TDs

 

Jordy Nelson: 98 receptions, 1,519 yards, 13 TDs

 

Randall Cobb: 91 rec, 1,287 yards, 12 TDs

 

 

We gotta throw up some beach balls for you occasionally.

 

 

I have McCallan's Directors Edition. It's a blend of the best Single malts

this is the only real disappointment of the game in my mind, I honestly don't see why he is in the games at all at this point when the marbles count...

That's insane.  

 

More impressive, making personnel changes to the defense that take it from the cellar to middle of the pack.  Thank you MM.

Yes, Henry. The Clay Matthews moves were inspired. Maybe the best in season coaching move I can remember.

Plus

 

TOG who?

Eddie "The Train" Lacy...All Aboard!

Nelson...tough

Cobb...tough

Rodgers clutch catches

Defense

Good for Lang to be mouthing back at Suh

Rodgers smug but confident look(s)   ...12 is more than 4

 

Minuses

S/Ts again

Bad play-calling in first series at goalline...more imagination

 

Ugly

Suh

Technically, then, it's not a single malt, is it? 

(My hard alcohol was generally limited to vodka, what with my having started on hard alcohol in Russia.  If it weren't for the fact you'll all make merciless fun of me, I'd tell the story of my first hangover. )

+Rodgers MVP

 +Lacy

 the o line

 the D line

 

- MCarthy is such a good coach, but it helps that he has Rodgers…please next time, kick the first field goal, don't kick the second field goal and don't drop Flynn back  on 3rd and 4….you don't know Rodgers is coming back, play field position

-Cobb not under contract with the season ending

-this could be said every week from the inception of the league---but what a terrible officiating crew

-Suh's behavior should be dealt with  thru significant fines to the Lions coaching staff, once is on the player, the second week is on the coaches

Think about it....Yes it is STILL a single malt. It's a blend of the best Single malts. No actual year (aging) on it. But a single malt nonetheless.

Ugly
Suh

Brad Jones belongs in the ugly, too.

Aaron Rodgers (on his calf injury): "Give me 2 weeks and I should be good to go."

 

Stated his calf strain is in a different spot then last week.

Are you sure 'Check down' Teddy hasn't accomplished that as well?

Special teams issues remain

Suh stomp sure appeared intentional, but he may get away with it from the league.

Need to either take the points on that first drive or leave Lacy on the field and use him. 

Spermhead fans already in full force blaming the refs, followed by Detailers fans in tow.  

 

You really have to be reaching for delusion when it comes to this game.  They weren't calling squat unless it was blatant.

As I said, I don't drink whisk(e)y, but I seriously would have thought that once you blend single malts together, they're no longer single.  Apparently not.  Food and drink labelling rules can be weird, though.

Rodgers reads x4?!?

 

My guess is that  his nom de pleur is Blair Kiel. 

I need to track down some of this for you.
