Packers Lose to ‘Fins - Not Really a Surprise, Right?
Posted in Any Given Sunday
Were you able to get up for this game?
I couldn’t.
With the Packers taking out listings on Craig’s List for linebackers, tight ends and medical staff, and the receiving corps, once considered among the deepest and most feared in the NFL but now among the most in need of stickum, I pretty much loaded up the porn clips on the lapper to keep my mind off the A2M the Packers were going to be dealt today.
There’s no such thing as a moral victory in the NFL, just like there’s no such thing as an “honest” profile picture on Facebook. But just like that chick who looks hot when she photographs herself from that impossible angle with her boobs all squished up high, this game gave me reasons to smile.
Rodgers still did a solid. Which I’ve learned does NOT mean making a firm poop. You kids and your lingo, I swear.
It was nice hearing from Greg Jennings. But it’d be nice if he was more than football’s equivalent of Babe Ruth; home run or nothing.
I was not Laughing Out Loud at all when Brady Poppinga, LOLb, went down with a knee injury. We so need Adam Sandler. Or some of his special water the Himalayas.
In the end, the Packers were able to take advantage of a sleepy Miami defense on 4th and goal, taking it to overtime, where coach McCarthy regularly gets his ass handed to him. Seriously. He had a shelf made for his ass in his office. I think the only OT win to McCarthy’s credit was a Favre-to-Jennings home run against the Broncos, the first play from scrimmage, and probably a Favre audible at that.
Because as we’re getting to become accustomed to, McCarthy’s naptime is scheduled like clockwork to start right at the end of the first half. Second half adjustments for McCarthy usually mean nothing more than shuffling his junk from one side of his pants to the other while he watches the sails go limp on his offensive ship and his defense gets picked apart like a chicken at a McNuggets factory.
The good news? Rodgers is healthy. And uh, that’s about it.

I don’t get the Packers….
Their play calling sucks - another 1st and goal and they hand of twice - getting stuffed each time. Thankfully Rodgers was able to sneak his way in on 4th down.
The secondary is crap.
I wish the fans got a chance just to laugh at them. Just sit them up at a conference table and invite fans to come in and point and laugh.
They just don’t have the horses to line up at the goal line and ram it down someone’s throat. They zone block. Zone blocking means smaller, nimble guys. Unless they’re feeding the O line cheeseburgers during the TV time out to add pounds before they try to punch one up the middle for a score, it’s just crazy to try to out-horse Clydesdales.
Had Colledge not seen the gaping hole on 4th and 1 and had 2 or 3 Miami defenders not been discussing Grey Poupon when they should’ve been in a 3-point stance, the game would have been over right then.
I don’t fault the secondary all that much. Hell the Packers called me asking if I was at “game speed” and if I knew how to cover. Seriously, they did. But I tweaked my back, see, and my mom likes for me to call her on Sundays, and so it just wasn’t gonna work out. But when you’re on 2nd and 3rd stringers for multiple positions on D, there’s bound to be a hole or seven another team can exploit.
Doesn’t make it any easier to watch, though.
Good point, JP.
I guess what also really bugged me was that Lions game - We were putting alot of pressure on Hill but he was releasing it so quick and still completing almost everything he through.
I just didn’t get it: we’re getting pressure on Hill so that he has to gun it quick…. but everything is still being caught.
Very frustrating.
We had a ton of pressure - what it looked like to me was that the Lions offense knew to expect lots of pressure and even some over-pursuit and so they made sure they had someone ready to take a quick dump pass a couple yards downfield. With everyone pinning their ears back to get to the QB, someone was always open in the middle of the field.
It was painful to watch, I know.
