Good: Lacy

Bad: The Jumbo package didnt work? How can that not work? Also, the fake punt by the Steelers. I was tipped off when the WR on the right moved back to the formation. I thought it was a give-away that something was going to happen.

Ugly: Flynn throwing the fade in the end zone. Unless I am mistaken, he hasnt hit one yet, and I dont think he can.

Hyde seems to be a little bit of an "under-the-radar" returner- maybe just not flashy or fast enough for teams to want to kick away from him, which is a good thing. I was pleasantly surprised to hear yesterday that he's the #2 punt returner in the league.

My big critique of Flynn's game is that he seems to lock in on one target off the snap, and rarely will he look at a 2nd or 3rd option.

This was on display on the last play when Jordy broke open on the slant and Boykin was covered. I realize it was a shallow play where a quick decision was required, but the critique stands.

I think Nick Perry's forced fumble should negate his ugly... I think he should be moved to the bad category...

You get what you get with Flynn...Nuff said.

Assuming Lacy is back, if the Lacy, Starks tandem can't put 150 yards rushing on da bums next week, we're in trouble.

Capers is in the ugly for no imagination, keeping MD playing. Stick with Richardson. 26th in total D, 21st rushing & 26th passing. hate to keep beating this drum but...

UGLY: GB's Chances to beat the Hapless Bares without ARod, CM3, Lacy and Cobb.

Ugly..the ref comin up to tell Flynn with about 6 seconds to go ...."hey I started the clock dipshit"

Good + Boykin

Bad + Defense tackling

UGLY - From'Matty Ice' to WTF Flynn!

I pprrreeetttyy much erased that game from my mind when the eagles went up by 30 in the 4th. Let's focus on what's going on right now... Haters and doubters, alike, are starting to form their excuses as to how we made the playoffs, despite their incessant non-support amd pessimism.

And we TRUE Packer fans have, yet again, the very enviable task of knocking the bears out of the playoffs for the 2nd time in 4 years!

Let's rejoice in the "house money" we've been gallivanting around with in this putrid NFC North division!!

Good

Jarrett Boykin. TT has a knack for finding wide receivers. Which quite honestly is his only knack I think. But this kid has really stepped up in the absence of Cobb.

James Jones. He made some fantastic catches including literally robbing Ike Taylor of an interception. We need to re sign him in the off season.

Micah Hyde. A lot is expected of this 5th rounder and he's really stepped up to the plate. He's really come into his own in the return game and is not a liability in the secondary. I think he's been a great player for us!

Tim Masthay. Just because it can't be said enough what he does for this team. He gets off a punt on a terrible snap, he pinned them deep on a great punt, and was the one to stop a TD. Besides he may be the only special team player who can tackle.

Run Game. Eddie Lacy and James Starks are a fantastic combo because they are such different runners yet both effective. I wish MM would allow Starks more chances.

Bad

Flynn. He gave the Steelers 14 points with two huge turnovers. Take away those points and we win.

Perry. I'd put in him the ugly category but he did have a key fumble recovery. However his stupidity was costly. Very costly.

Defense. I won't put them in the ugly category because they did ok. But once again no pass rush or no ability to stop the run.

Ugly

Mike McCarthy. He once again was out coached at home when it counted. HIs play calling makes me want to smash something against the TV. But perhaps his biggest blunder as a coach is allowing such undisciplined sloppy play week in and week out. And let's not even get into the last minute of the game where we couldn't have looked like a bigger bunch of idiots if we tried.

Penalties. Way too many and way too many critical ones. There are no excuses for that.

Special Teams. Outside of Masthay and Hyde what a terrible day.

It seems like at this point we know who Flynn is: a decent QB who is capable of stretches solid play, who also tends to have at least one catastrophically bad play per game, and who is no good in end-of-game situations.

The question for me is, is it worth having a guy like that as your backup? I'm kind of torn. At least you know what you have in him, he'll know the playbook really well, and he is capable of winning at least some games. He could be Rodgers' Doug Pedersen. But then again, that prevents us from developing a young QB. I'm curious to see what Tolzien can do after a year in the QB school.

This doesn't relate directly to yesterdays Packer game, but in the "Ugly" category, I would put the increased likelihood of Detroit ousting Schwartz.

For years now, we Packer fans could count on the dysfunction from Detroit high-ups to throttle whatever collective talent the Lions may have assembled. Wayne Fontes, Matt Millen and now, most likely, Jim Schwartz. I'll miss you all.

Hey Detroit, Gary Kubiak is available for immediate hire

Speaking of Texas, Hey TT, give a call out to Wade Phillips after the season. He might be available or Give Greene a shot

Alright packer fans, unbiased opinions only. LACY OR BELL?

What this team has done with what they have is pretty dam good. All the bitching is unwarranted. Everyone knows this north race would have been over 6 weeks ago with Rodgers, Cobb, Finley, Matthews, Hayward, Bulaga, etc etc. The Pack would be looking at a buy. WTF, they're still in it thanks to the Bears and lolions. The Packers are the class of the north and will run away with it next year. A healthy Packers 14-2 next year. Book it.

If what I read was true, the ref had to tell Flynn, hey the clock is running 8,7,6. He did not know that and was standing there letting the time go by.
I blame Mac for not having a time out left. He does this all the time. Never has a time out to manage the game in situations like this. Chaos is his middle name.
An offensive coordinator would help. But then you would proably have to pay the guy. Mac is a cheap alternative.
