You know what? We had these fuckers.
We had em.
But then we didn’t. I don’t want to say the Green Bay Packers’ defense didn’t make enough plays. They did. Two picks.
They knew they had to step up and they did. Hats off to Davon House, in particular.
Money.
Motherfuckin’ money!
Sorry if you don’t like my language.
These guys didn’t beat us, they’re not better than us.
I feel like Brett Hundley was handcuffed. 87 yards? I mean, are you fucking kidding me? Mike McCarthy said Brett Hundley was his boy and then didn’t allow him to do shit.
That isn’t utilizing your quarterback that you supposedly believe in.
Brett Hundley is capable, he made plays when he was given the opportunity to. Certainly, Aaron Jones was the main focus of this game for the Packers. He performed well — 171 on 13 carries. Amazing!!
However, every time we needed Hundley to get the job done, McCarthy wouldn’t take the leash off. Brett Hundley can play. I would like for the Packers to let him play. Because we would have beat these fucks.
Exactly. Two picks. What did McCarthy produce from that? Zero points. Zero first downs. Run the ball twice and pass on third and long. Punt the ball to about the 45.
Like you said, we had them. The defense wasn’t the problem, the offensive playcalling was. Hundly played as well as you could ask him to. Whenever I see Montgomery running the ball I ask myself why? Jones is infinitely better. Without Rodgers to pull miracle plays out of his ass every game McCarthy is being exposed for the buffoon that he is.
The Packers moved Ty to rb before they acquired Jones. They fucked the pooch with thinking that Ty can be a rb, i think they finally admit they were wrong and move him back before next season, possibly sooner.
That experiment failed. Despite his 5.9 ypc. last season. Which we don’t hear about much anymore.
It might be debatable if the defense was a problem, but if a defense gives up 485 yards, it sure as hell isn’t the solution.
Defense wasn’t problem??? WTF you kidding! give up 3-17, 3-12, 3-10 rinse & repeat. Saints punted once. They don’t get 2 ints games larger blowout. Defense sucks and can never get off field.
I was trying to be diplomatic about it. : )
While I mostly agree with you, the offense didn’t help matters. When you don’t control the ball on offense and allow the saints a 13 minute edge in TOP, that certainly doesn’t help things.
Did we see the same game ?
Stopped counting the 3rd and long and 4th and short the D let Brees convert.
Offense was 1D, The Other Aaron (Jones) was doing the job setting up manageable 3rd downs, but carp play calling didn’t let them convert. Payton figured it out, made changes, McCarthy knew that he did but didn’t adjust realizing Hundley too slow on release to go deep.
When was last time Nelson, Adams and Cobb were held to so few receptions? Hoping they work on getting passing game going during bye week break. Looks like you gotta be named Aaron to play well on this team…
At least the pace of injuries was reduced….
This loss was a total team effort.
The offense didn’t put up points on early turnovers. They didn’t move the ball at all in the second half. What about that wonderful depth at wide receiver? True that there were not a lot of passing attempts, but the TV coverage showed that they were not open. We finally have a running game, but no aerial attack to complement it.
Yeah, the defense did get a couple pics early, but the Saints were successfully moving the ball on both those drives. After that, they couldn’t get a stop, even on 3rd and long (3rd and 9 maybe) and then again on 3rd and really long (3rd and 17). Yeah, they had an occasional good play other than the pics, but not nearly enough consistency.
Special teams didn’t do enough either. Could have had another turnover, but a penalty gave the ball away. For kickoffs, PLEASE, if the ball ends up in the end zone it should stay there. It is far better to start at the 25 rather than the 10 after another penalty or inside the 20 after an short reurn (that started at least 6 yards deep).
Bonehead coaching at the end of the half gave the Saints an opportunity for a “hail Mary”. If they had called that play (instead of the check-down / screen that they did run), a defensive penalty or a good play from them could have lead to a late score.
The biggest positive from the game – didn’t see many new injuries.
I was fine with Davis bringing that ball out. Shit, get a spark going. I’m not fine with the WRs moping around like their best pig died. Yea we get it, Aaron is your guy and he knows how you like the ball. But Jesus Christ, step it up for the sake of the team. Adjust to Brett, help him out. McCarthy, grow a pair. This guy played at UCLA. You don’t need to design a YMCA league game plan for this guy. He can handle some shit I’m sure.
Buffoon has been exposed long before this game.Perhaps all you McCarthy defenders will see the light,probably not.
I was formerly a “Highly Successful” coach. I was a genius QB whisperer, everybody said so. 4 and 12 were nothing until they went through my QB camp. Next week we will “clean things up”….pad level….etc.
Repeat for the next 10 weeks…Cleveland gets their first W against this team. Is that enough to get this idiot fired? I want them to lose every remaining game and hear the excuses from this fool. It’s been 7 years since the SB win, when will they wise up and dump him? Throw a bag of bit coins at Chucky, he liked Green Bay.
Jones had himself another nice game, but i’m not so sure he ran for 171 yards on 13 carries.
I’m not sure when and where Hundley has shown he is capable. I just don’t consider 1 TD and 4 picks in the last two games Hundley has played, capable. I’m from the old school i guess where someone has to show they are capable.
In Rodgers first real playing time in week 13 in his 3rd year against Dallas, Rodgers went 18/26 for 201 yards, 1 TD and 0 picks with a 104 passer rating.
Hundley in his first outing last week was 18/33 for 157 yards, 1 TD and 3 picks for a 39.6 passer rating. Today wasn’t much better.
Capable?……potentially capable maybe, we’ll have to wait and see.
Did King really get over his concussion? King looked like he was not in the same ball park as the receivers he was suppose to cover. He was either lost or was having very poor footing problems. Looked very unaware on several plays. I think King gave up almost every yard on that one TD drive, including the TD. King was not close in coverage.
Yea, this kid runs really hot and cold. One game he’s playing nice and tight, other games he’s out in left field somewhere.
Interesting facts: Passing yards per attempt.
Eli Manning: 3.4 YPA
Brett Hundley: 3.4 YPA
Blake Bortles: 12.6 YPA
The Mike McCarthy coaching branch is not doing well.
I thought he was concussed on the first play from scrimmage. I cringed knowing he just came off one before this game.
Chalk it up to another Cadaver Thompson DB draft bust. Injury prone, can’t tackle, lost on back-end. Randall & Rollins weren’t enough?? Ted needed more.
First note I made King does a Randall impersonation. Later thet thought well if so let’s bring in Randall. Luckely only for a while.
Ok, now try it in English.
okay thet is they. Satisfied now nag?
The defense did enough to keep us in the game. And we know they cannot handle the whole game if the offense goes three-and-out too often. They are not SEA2013 or DEN2015. Leave them on the field long enough and they end up collapsing: the opponent advances by air, ground, and sea.
But today they somehow held up well up to the third qt.
It is the offense that by default gets a pass, but is very adept at collecting three-and-outs, and leaving our defense too long on the field. We are supposed to be an explosive offense, but not even with Rodgers at the helm has that happened much. And I am not sure whether it is Rodgers wanting to complete a 20yd bomb every play, our receivers being unable to get any separation against man coverage or McCarthy’s playcalling. I discarded the first hypothesis after a few times that McCarthy called plays designed to get the short-to-middle-ranged passes going, and helping our WRs get separation by play design, not just by outrunning or outmaneuvering CBs with crisp routes. Then he stubbornly returns to “run up the middle, run up the middle, third-and-long: pass, punt”. Today, their defense showed a loaded box, expecting a run from us. And what do we do? Audible it to a pass? That would be letting them down. No, we run precisely up the middle, run stuffed for no gain, thanks for trying.
Back to our receivers, we have no deep threat. They are all good possession receivers, but no one has breakout speed (maybe Janis, but we have given up on that experiment, or Trevor Davis). They function well with Rodgers, but give us an average QB and he will not be able to work with the WRs gaining such a poor separation. They are all nice threats in the red zone, but we have to get there first. At least McCarthy should help them with better routes.
At this point I ask why are people still upset. You should be numbed after several seasons of Big Mike.
This stuff is not news and it’s not worth getting worked up about as if it ever was. Go hunting, read a
book, build a fence. You can’t do anything about the mess or the injuries or Big Mike.
That’s what fans are pissed about. The fact NO ONE (Murphy) will do anything. Were stuck with this Pad Level train wreck
Hundley had a 39 qb rating.
Scott Tolzien and Seneca Wallace had about a 65 qb rating in their pathetic showings, just to put the 39 qb rating into perspective.
So about that top 5 draft pick next year…
The CTE laden TT will fuck it up . . .
To add to the list of ill-fated McCarthy decisions- 59 yard FG attempt in the wind and rain at the end of the first half was asinine. Even in good conditions that’s iffy for Crosby-that was a classic Hail Mary situation, TD or PI opportunity + time runs out. Don’t recall I’ve ever seen a Pick-6 on a Hail Mary, so that ain’t happening’. Instead, McCarthy gives the SAINTS a shot at a Hail Mary!!?? Their play call was conservative, but I’ll let Saints fans rag on Payton about that-my plate is full enough with McCarthy.
I’ve got to tell you, I actually bought into Hundley’s bit of self-promotion/reassurance after the Vikings game. He said he hadn’t had a week of preparation with the first team offense and practice snaps. I felt it was a decent point. I also thought the other three factors could be huge — 1. A bunch of back-ups and out-of-position players on the O-line, 2. The home field differential, and, 3. The Vikings defense can make anyone under any circumstances look terrible.
With the Saints Hundley would have a full week, nearly a complete O-line, home field advantage, and a much less difficult defense.
Result? 86 yards! And still another interception!
I no longer buy what Hundley — or MM — are selling.
Packers have 9 more games. 4-5 may be optimistic but, then again, Browns, Ravens, Bears, Buccaneers. Those 4 should be automatic wins and you’d think at least 1 of the other 5 would fall into place even if just by blind luck. OK, 5-4 then. Which puts the Packers likely out of the play-offs at 9-7 and yet with a draft pick in the 17-23 range. Not a game changer pick, especially with TT at the controls.
compliments K. – one of the most readable pieces you’ve ever posted on this site ….
There’s hope – for you and (maybe) #7
At this point, is Hundley your starting an the rest of the year and you tank? Or do you sign another qb hoping that you win enough until Rodgers potential return? They aren’t winning a lot of games with Hundley at the helm based on what I have seen the past couple weeks
Brett Hundley: “Good game dude, i almost beat you”.
Drew Brees: “Excuse me?”
Brett Hundley: “I’m sorry, i’m Brett, nice to meet you.”….I’m a future Hall of fame QB.”
Drew Brees: “Ok then, ummmm good luck”…..”listen can you let go of my hand, i have to go now”
Brett Hundley: “No prob”…. “Probably see you at the Pro Bowl…buddy.”
The worst part is the fact New Orleans practically treated this as a bye week. They turned the ball over twice and moved around like the walking dead for the first hour and there still wasn’t any question who would win at the end of the day.
I noticed that too. 2 picks and they seemed like, no big deal. McSlob minus Rodgers = Doormat team, Incompetent Coach.
Well stated^^^^
