You should add another category:
The Stupid: Johnny Jolly:
“I play like that every game. It ain’t going to change from here,” Jolly said. “The next game, I’m going to be out there playing hard. It is what it is. That didn’t cost (us) the game.”
Really? Headbutting someone after the whistle is “playing hard?” Really? Seriously?
Aaron, Mason Crosby has been an ugly shade of bad all season. Punting wasn’t great. Special teams in general deserved a nod in the bad (maybe even ugly) category. Agreed on MM though. It is becoming apparent that he’s in over his head and he is not growing with the job.
I’d add Capers to the bad. 3rd down and 17 for the Queens. 3 man rush results in a 19 yd gain to Barian. Just plain unbelieveable. Nest play 51 yd. TD pass!
Ron – directly after that play, my Twitter account read: What the FUCK is Capers DOING?
Oh, and next play a 51 yd TD to Harven.
Kampman and Jenkins deserve to be on that bad, or at least a newly defined ‘invisible’ list. Jenkins can say he’s being handcuffed by the scheme all he wants but both still had there hands in the ground moving up the field on at least 60% of the plays and were completely invisible.
There are a handful of guys currently starting that possibly should be displaced by better talent in the very near future. I’m witholding judgement on everybody until we hit the 12 game mark with one exception:
RYAN GRANT has no vision whatsoever and isn’t a fit in any scheme. Look at the Browns tape where he had his stats and you will see a back that leaves a LOT of yards on the field. Grant is at best a backup next season, but I don’t even want to see him on the roster.
There was one play in which Grant ran laterally across the field, (COMPLETELY missing two holes) resulting in a loss. Because of this, Barbre was forced into holding and even more yards were lost. It was painful to watch.
Man, I thought Special Teams needed to be called out for this one. It’s a totally different game if the Vikings aren’t getting that amazing field position.
I would like to leave a comment about the inconsistent calls on roughing the QB. Ray Edward gets a very skeptical call on throwing the QB into the ground. It was impossible to stop his momentum and gentle land on Aaron. This has been the problem around the league that could destroy an outcome of a very important game. This year has been very inconsistent from week to week on these very skeptical calls on the QB. I wish the rules were much clearer on how a defensive lineman is supposed to hit the QB. I hope the NFL commissioner doesn’t allow a referee to throw a game on cheap call.
Todd: go to Minn boards
The Good: Aaron Rodgers, Driver, Havner, Pickett, Ahman Green, Mathews
The Bad: Barber, Grant,Jolly, Crosby, Jenkins, Barnett, Hawk
The Ugly: McCarthy(play calling), Capers(play calling), special teams, McCarthy(discipline)
Another week where Brandon Jackson is the forgotten man. Will this kid ever get a shot in green bay?
Dusty – it’s telling that Ahman Green got the touches he got yesterday.
