Five More Thoughts on Packers’ 17-13 Loss to Bears
Something stinks in here and it isn’t my post-Thanksgiving farts. Well, those stink too, but the bigger stench is coming from the Green Bay Packers.
Where is that dead, rotting carcass smell coming from? Primarily from the Packers offense. And what are we going to do about it?
Nothing!
We have a plan and we’re sticking to it, goddamit! It doesn’t matter that it’s a plan that’s not working, by golly. It’s a plan and that’s the important thing!
We CANNNOT deviate from a plan!
Yeah, so away we go.
Whatever the Packers do from here on out, they better not play Jeff Janis more
Let’s just take a look at a couple statistics. Jeff Janis has returned four kicks this season. He’s averaging 41.3 yards per return. He’s caught two passes this season. He’s averaging 39.5 yards per reception. The guy has touched the ball six times and has gained 244 yards in those six touches. That’s slightly over 40 yards per play. I would like someone, whether they be on the Packers coaching staff or one of the buttplugs who covers the team, to come to my home and explain to me the reasons why Jeff Janis should not be on the field on a regular basis. That way, when they’re done talking, I can cock back real far and blast my fist through their fucking face.
Well, they’ve figured out the running game
This just makes me incredulous. For an entire half of the season we had to listen to how Eddie Lacy was fat. How he must be injured. How WE JUST CAN’T FIGURE OUT WHAT’S WRONG! Most of that nonsense came from the nitwits who cover the team. Meanwhile, we just looked at the stats and found the simple solution. You hand the ball to Ed 15 or more times in a game and you have a running game. Fucking amazing, right? I mean, you commit to running the football with your big, fat bruising back and that’s when you see results? Like, you mean we actually have to hand him the ball? CRAZY! So it only took the Packers until their ninth game to figure that out. And thankfully, the idiot in charge of telling the offense what to do actually stuck with it against the Bears. Although his fumble was costly, Lacy gained 105 yards on 15 carries. He also caught four for 34. Lacy’s increased utilization has moved James Starks back to where he belongs — to No. 2 on the depth chart. Starks contributed 39 yards on seven carries and 41 more on four catches. These guys are literally the only thing that made the Packers offense move. At this point, they should be an even bigger part of the game plan.
When is enough enough?
That’s the question I’m asking myself about two guys. Two guys who are clearly dogshit. Two guys who have no business being in an NFL starting lineup, much less the Green Bay Packers’ starting lineup. And yet, let’s keep sending them out there because, look, this is probably the week they’ll get it. This is probably the week they’ll make some plays. I’m speaking of receiver Davante Adams and tight end Richard Rodgers. As we documented last night, Adams is the primary reason the Packers offense was so awful. He’s like a black hole of suck, sucking everything around him in and crushing it with his pure awfulness. Eleven targets on Thursday night. Two catches. And how about DickRodge? Well, four catches for 30 yards, which is a sterling 7.5 yards per reception. This piece of shit is averaging 7.3 yards per catch this season. He couldn’t couldn’t break a tackle or get YAC if a paper bag were covering him. A ball of anger and hatred is swelling up inside of me just thinking about these two fuckwads. They are both PURE FUCKING SHIT. They have no business on our football field or any goddam other one. Bench them both! We’re way the hell past enough!
It won’t happen, but…
It’s time for a change. And I’m not talking about just sitting players who are hurting the team. I’m talking about accountability with the coaching staff. Losing a couple of games to the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers, I can accept. Those are good football teams. They’re clearly better football teams than the one in Green Bay. Plus, those games were on the road. Now, losing to the worst two teams in the NFC North at home, that is not acceptable. The Packers were just beaten by the Lions and Bears at home. To make it worse, they were beaten in games in which two team legends were honored — Ron Wolf (Detroit) and Brett Favre (Chicago). And do you want to know what’s worse than that? Those two teams had a combined five wins when they played the Packers. Do you know what’s going to happen now? Fat Mike will say how disappointed he is and then he’ll tell us how he’s sticking to his plan because, you know, plans can’t change. Well, I say plans can change and the Packers need to do something if for no other reason than to send the message that this shit isn’t acceptable.
And here it is
Tom Clements, you’re fucking out. Done. Gone. Finished. You got the shot you wanted. You failed. No other way to see it at this point. Clements has been a major issue in the Packers’ lack of offensive success this season. From refusing to run the football and then wondering why the Packers don’t have a running game to refusing to utilize plays and formations that get the team’s shitty receivers open, the play calling has been a disaster. And you know what? The Packers have one of the best offensive play callers in the entire league standing around, telling us about his great plan. Well, I don’t know. What to do here?

Adams is beyond awful. Yet somehow he sees the most targets every week. He is paid to catch a football and he cannot do his job. In any other profession he would have been fired long ago. RR is the worst tight end in football. This team gives me chest pains. The end
Eddie had 15 carries and Rodgers threw more than 40 passes. This has been the status quo. As hard as you’re bringing it Monty, I actually think you’re giving GB too much credit for the minimal carries they had….at 6 yards a clip.
Bill Belichick would have run the ball all night. Lacy would have had over 200 yards and 3 TDs and Brady’s yardage stats would look like Rodgers did. Only difference is Belichick would have thrown the ball only 15 times in a game like that.
McCarthy, the offensive genius, throws twice as many times and has done this his entire career. Remember 15-1 and the loss to the Chiefs. Identical. Refusal to run the ball when the passing game struggles.
The McCarthy regime is incapable of learning and always have been.
Yep Buffoon and Buffoon V.2 (Clements) are fucking clueless. They make no rational adjustments, and continue to run lame fucking ISO routes. Adams shows very little fire, while Janis tears up the field every time that he gets an opportunity to. Someone is obviously playing favorites to say the least. Lacy and Starks should have been pounding the fucking ball all night long. Rodgers seems angry and tentative and off. Go with what is working, not something that isn’t.
Regarding Adams — it’s not just the drops. He is infuriatingly slow. It looks like he’s jogging. His routes are lazy. The pick was all on him. That play vs Miami last year must have bought him so much good will with 12 because I can’t understand why he keeps tossing it to him.
Aaron Rodgers should take responsibility for his awful play and stop blaming receivers, I think his girlfriend is distracting him.
I remember when Rodgers used to hit 5-8 different targets PER FUCKING GAME! WTF happened to that? Where did that go? Does anyone else remember that? How does that just disappear?
You mean Aaron Rodgers the TV commercial actor ? I love those Discount Double Check ads he’s in. Such a great acting talent.
He actually played football at one time ?
Hmmmm, I’ll have to Google him ….
Good article Monty, great comments
The minus-2 turnover ratio won the game for Cutty – painful to watch, especially that friggin’ ground-scraper by Tretter – they get that one back and GB wins 19-17 on game ending Crosby FG….
#12 admitted it was a team losing effort – they blew lots of chances to win ….
They need to make statement against Lions on Thursday. I’m Not writing them off yet – with Romo out they can go 4-1 for rest of season – (ain’t gonna beat Arizona in Phoenix)… to finish 11-5 and win division – only because Vikings have a tougher schedule – 4 home games will allow them to finish 3-3.
Watch out for Bears – could see similar resurgence that Lions made after beating GB in Lambeau – they have new confidence and really soft remaining schedule – could readily make a 4-1 run finishing at 9-7, to pressure Queens and GB if they don’t get their shit together….
I believe it’s all moot GB can’t stack up on road against Cardinals and Cam NuTone’s Panthers playing awesome D in post season – though home field ain’t providing any benefits to GB right now anyway
It wasn’t a team losing effort. The defense played fine. Our offense lost that game.
Does anyone out there know how to get a hold of Gruden. I wouldn`t mind seeing Lovie Smith as are new DC
Well thanks to my main sewer line backing up, that pathetic offense wasn’t the shittiest thing I saw yesterday. Long live Bart Starr, dude risked pneumonia just to see that shit show.
Amen on Starr! Sorry about your sewer line . . .
Classiest Packer ever ….
Wouldn’t be using my name without him !
Yep
I want answers.Does anyone know a reporter that covers the team that can ask head turd why he refuses to replace players who are not performing.
This is something that Bellecheat excels at. His players are all afraid of losing their jobs because he doesn’t tolerate mistakes. In Green Bay, players can’t even look at the playbook for a couple hours a day because they know the MM-sponsored gravy train will continue even if they shit the bed.
Adams playing (and I say that loosely) and Janis sitting is the dumbest thing I have seen in years.
So, it is the 2nd article regarding yesterday’s “bed shitting” . Out of those 2 articles I have only seen 1 fucking homer on them! Hey you tough guy assholes! I was on the board right after the Pack beat the ViQueens and endured your homer fuckwad comments. All of the time continuing to write that they still did not feel right as a team. Where are all of you REAL BANDWAGON FUCKS? I love this team, win or lose! But I have a big set of balls to call them out when they play and coach like fucktards, and endure all of you dickheads” wrath. Where are you now when the tide has turned? Hiding like cunts! Yes, real fans talk about wins and loses and ask questions! Cunts just follow along when all is going well and cast stones at the ones pointing to the leaks in the dam . . .
loses = losses . . . duh
we know what you meant.
And nothing is going to change.Having said that.
I repeat Rodgers should be fined for evry time out he takes , he took only one this game but he liked to have more but there weren’t any
I repeat Randall can’t cover.
I repeat ST is always late.
And I realy don’t get that after Janis made that good return ( again) let’s Cobb , who had some shit in his hands , do it further on.
All the other things about coaching and that I don’t repeat.
Yeah, but Cobb returns punts only. Janis replaced Hyde on kickoffs only. But it would be nice to see what Janis might be able to do on punts as well . . .
I bet there’s another stat Rodgers lead, taking time outs.
Eddie fumbles and gets benched until the 3rd quarter. Adams repeatedly drops passes, gives up a pick, and stays on the field only to drop what would have been the game winning touchdown. WTF WTF WTF WTF (please repeat as necessary).
I am a shareholder (yeah, it is only 1, but I bought it) and it is time that the rest of us shareholders to start demanding some changes.
I’m done watching this stupid team play. We lose to the FUCKING BEARS!?!?!?!?! REALLY? Those fucking losers and their senile coach somehow outplayed us and embarrassed us? It’s even worse because I know a few Bears fans that are annoying as fuck. I’m done fuck this GUTLESS team.
Rogers just plain sucks. Too many commercials and reading his adoring press clippings.
He was outplayed by Cutler, of all people. I would trade Rogers for Cutler right now, if the Bears would even do the deal.
you know… the funny thing here is that this is the only team in the league who’s sole purpose is to win games. There is no real owner wanting to make a profit. why in hell aren’t things changing? I don’t even want to say “lose out the season for the draft pick” because TT misses on first rounders every time anymore. I’m just disgusted by these fucking primadonna children out there disgracing the history of this once fine organization
The profit / loss is a good point. I believe that this organization is all about breaking even though it makes me wonder if there is a real board of directors or different set of shareholders that “share” in the profits. Worth checking out people!
Would you rather take the delay of game over the time out? In some scenarios that might be beneficial but not usually. Its not usually Rodgers fault that the play takes 30 seconds to get in.
If the play clock is at zero and the snap isn’t coming 9 out of 10 times the Qb is going to call a timeout. Regardless of who he is.
Definitely agree about Randall. He is decent tackler but he plays loose and most balls thrown his way are caught. Ill give him some growing room though since he is a rookie thrown into a starting position right away. Not to mention playing injured.
I still wouldn’t trade Rogers for Cutler at all. The Bears will come back down to earth like they always do because they are fucking losers.
What is this nonsense of trading the best QB in the league for fucking Jay Cutler? That’s got to be the dumbest shit I’ve read all week and that’s including the stupid shit I read on br comment section.
Trade rodgers? For cutler? Ok fuck talking about football. After that comment I’ve lost hope for humanity itself.
Who did you pay to type that comment? Certainly someone who is that fucking stupid doesn’t posses the basic motor skills required to log onto a computer and post a communication.
Rodgers is looking awfully average lately.
After seeing Clements’ college try at OC another frustration with TT has come into play. Not only does he not sign FA (very rarely compared to other teams). He also doesn’t bring in coaches from other organizations. We know that MM won’t go against the grain, like to promote from within, a la Clements. Vic Fangio was looking for a new gig last year and went to Chicago (DC to DC), remember how good SFs D was during that time? I know a lot had to do with personnel but damn. At some point, common sense must be applied (and maybe statistics as well) to get talent from an outside source. Is this because he is worried that they will not fall in line with the “Packers” way? Would this new coach challenge TTs refusal to get actual position players instead of “projects” and hybrids?
Nice to read about you turd-packers having your pathetic panic attacks. As a Viking fan since the 70’s, it’s a nice change of pace! Gonna be fun to watch my Vikes storm into your sad little stadium for the last game of the season & destroy your dreams of another Division Title. Then you’ll have lost to every team in the North “AT YOUR HOUSE”! Get used to coach Zim bringing big heat to your cold, pathetic lives! Don’t you wish you had a coach, rather than Big “stick to the plan ” Mike?
You are funny! considering this “turd packers” team (as fucking bad as they really are) came into your house and shot their half limp dicks off into your players asses . . . fuck!
In a word…Yep.
As bad as it is this team is still in a good spot to win this trash can of a division. The vikings look like pure fade material down the stretch and three weeks from now could easily be 7-6 or 8-5. So as bad as the packers are (and they are awful right now) at least they can rely on the vikings being worse. Especially with terrible teddy and his awful passing “ability” leading the way for them. We know how this story ends for the purple pirates and their sad fan base. (the usual way)
