Okay, so I essentially missed the Packer game; I was busy watching ‘Dega and the teams laughing at Hen¢AR’s attempt to keep the speeds under 200 mph (I counted at least 20 teams turning at least 1 lap above that mark), so my recollections will be on the few plays I saw and on the NFL.com’s GameCenter play-by-play. Some randomized thoughts:
- What is Vernand Morency still doing in a Packers’ uniform? 3 turnovers he caused (2 charged rather unfairly to Brett Favre) in 5 quarters of play. If the Wolf/Holmgren team were still here, he would’ve been released at halftime yesterday.
- Noah Herron can work in the zone-blocking scheme. However, his 2 fumbles in 33 touches this season (none lost, however) is a bit troubling.
- For those of you defending the line, consider this; out of 43 drop-backs for Favre, 26 of them were from the shotgun, and still he got sacked twice.
- Famous last words (not quite a quote) from Wile E. Thompson (mud spelled backwards) – Kickers are overrated. Really? How many 45-yarders did Ryan Longwell miss?
- The drops have extended to both sides of the ball. In addition to the usual WR/TE drops, you had Al Harris dropping a long-distance pick-six, and AJ Hawk and Charles Woodson dropping picks.
- Speaking of the secondary, Patrick Dendy, who replaced Ahmad “Toasted Hands” Carroll, had a decent game, giving up 1 completion for 10 yards and a blown tackle to turn a 9-yard run into a 40-yarder. I wonder if tool Bob McGinn will now retract his ridiculous statement that it was “premature” to release Toasted Hands.
- Only one word can describe that last play – UGLY!
I’m busy working on my voices to bring back the Bob and Brian classic. If the boys don’t bring it back by Wednesday, I will.
Anti-spam word “wtf”!
At least your Packers have a win. My Buccaneers are still looking for one.
I do have a sense of humor, even if it is a bit twisted.
AGREED!! I’ve been calling for this for a while. I can do a good Randy Wright and Blaise Winter voice
