Lots on the mind, so I’ll just do a data dump:

The Packers are in great hands at the quarterback position for years to come. That said, Mike McCarthy has GOT to figure out the puzzle that is Aaron Rodgers’ cold starts. Yet again Rodgers was sailing passes and missing guys throughout the first quarter.
Yes, the [...]

Gut Reactions: Wild Card

What a shitty way to lose.
That said, great game.

Gut Reactions: Week 17

Gut Reactions: Week 17

Hard to take a lot away from this one. Looking forward to next week
I understand ‘keeping the momentum going’ (OK, no I don’t) but McCarthy was really playing with fire having Rodgers out there so long
If Woodson’s injury had been serious, it would have been a long offseason.
Brandon Jackson has arrived. I’m sorry, but from [...]

Gut Reactions: Week 16

Playoffs baby. Playoffs.
Aaron Rodgers has been in a 1st Quarter-Funk for a month. McCarthy has got to do a better job of getting him into a rhythm early.
What a great day from both Ryan Grant and Brandon Jackson.
Jarrett Bush made a play. It’s a Christmas miracle…
I actually feel bad for Matt Hasselbeck. To go from [...]

Gut Reactions: Week 15

The Steelers obviously told their receivers to run into the Packers’ defensive backs at the top of their routes, and most likely, they’d get a flag. Complete horseshit.
Rodgers was again spotty early – but the offense was not the problem, obviously.
Please note that I said Jarrett Bush is terrible in man coverage in my post [...]

Gut Reactions: Week 14

Aaron Rodgers has not been sharp the last two weeks. At. All.
As active and as good as Brad Jones looked last week, he just disappeared today.
Nick Barnett was quietly excellent.
Dom Capers dialed up the same corner blitz that got Cutler in the first game on that Collins INT
Holy blitzing Tramon Williams Batman!
If the reason to [...]

Gut Reactions: Week 13

What an UGLY game.
Charles Woodson is unreal.
Rodgers was masterful at using the playclock all game long.
Did Ray Lewis make a play?
What on Earth happened to Donald Driver?
Brad Jones and Clay Matthews look good. Matthews looks like a star in the making.
Ryan Grant and Ahman Green are a tough one-two punch.
Why does Greg Jennings have to [...]

Charles Woodson: Defensive Player of the Year
Great job by the offensive line, even after Clifton went out
The red zone stuff is frustrating, but it’s a product of both how McCarthy calls plays and how Rodgers plays.
Cullen Jenkins was getting held on almost every play.
Rodgers was getting hit late again and again but nothing ever got [...]

Gut Reactions: Week 11

What a great, great job by McCarthy establishing the run
But why, oh why did he abandon it?
McCarthy needs to be less static in the red zone. More bunch formations and motion, move the pocket, etc.
Why on EARTH did Capers do ANYTHING but press Davis w/Woodson?
That said, I liked how Capers was going after Smith until [...]

Gut Reactions: Week 10

Charles Woodson for MVP
I’ve never seen Capers call so much Zero Coverage in my life
Rodgers, for all the crap he’s been given, had a fantastic game
Make no mistake, this is a season defining victory
Nick Barnett finished in ways he didn’t last week
Same for Matthews
How about Brad Jones?
So great to have Jordy Nelson back. Finley getting [...]
