Well, the Green Bay Packers should have won this game comfortably. Except, we forgot to factor in the fact that they’re the Green Bay Packers.
And what does that mean? If you play for the Green Bay Packers, it means injuries.
Catastrophic. Season-ending. To key players. Each and every goddam year.
And this year, it might just have occurred to the only guy who can’t get injured — quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
So, first of all, I’ll say this. You’re a highly-successful football coach, Mike McCarthy? I guess we’ll really see how much of that success is tied to that one guy we all know it’s tied to, now.
Won’t we?
All I saw on the field after Rodgers exited with a broken collarbone — the second such injury of his career — was out-and-out buffoonery.
Haven’t used that word in while. Frankly, my theory has always been that Rodgers covers up McCarthy’s buffoonery to a large degree. And now we’ll see. Rodgers is possibly lost for the season.
Not only that, but the offensive line that was out there in front of Brett Hundley at the end of the game? I didn’t even know who one of those dudes was.
David Bakhtiari finally came back. Left. Bryan Bulaga was in. Concussion. Lane Taylor, the only guy who has been consistently solid. Lost to a knee/ankle injury.
The Packers finished with Justin McCray, Corey Linsley — who was garbage, by the way, Lucas Patrick and some guy with the last name John. Who the hell is he? Where did he come from?
NO FUCKING IDEA.
That’s the state of things.
And ultimately, I’ll give the credit. The Minnesota Vikings beat the hell out of the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, 23-10.
Hundley wasn’t ready and the Packers’ defense — big surprise — couldn’t stop the Vikings. The Vikings with a backup quarterback, backup running back, without their top receiver.
Really, the defense should have done one job. The only guy on the field who could have hurt them was receiver Adam Thielen. And what did they do about that?
Didn’t really even bother to cover him. Thielen went for nine and 97. And that may not sound like much, but for some reason, Damarious Randall, Josh Hawkins, whoever it was, would always line up five or 10 yards off the guy. I mean, don’t want to try to slow the only guy who can beat you at the point of attack, right?
BRILLIANT defensive strategy.
So Case Keenum dinked-and-dunked his way down the field. Jerick McKinnon did his damage on the ground, because frankly, if you get into the Packers’ secondary, no one can tackle worth a shit.
Seriously, can’t tackle. The secondary. Not at all. I can’t be more serious.
If anyone in the Packers’ secondary has a wife, I’m making a run at her, whether she’s hot or not, just because I know you have no chance of stopping me.
You’ll be laying on the ground wondering what happened and meanwhile, I’ll already have my dick in your wife.
All of that said, I’m not going to overreact and neither should you.
We all know what the Packers are. An amazing offense based on a garbage defense that needs to make one or two plays a game.
On Sunday, that defense made those two plays. Aaron Rodgers just wasn’t there to bail them out.
However, with a week under center taking the No. 1 reps, I would expect Brett Hundley to carry this team. That’s what he’s been there for, right?
And this guy wants to start for another team. Better go out and show us and earn that money, son.
Here’s your Matt Flynn shot. The one you always wanted.
Prove it, motherfucker. Earn that cash!
Well, this will be interesting. Will the packers sign Kaepernick or maybe even Romo in a few weeks if Hundley struggles like he did today?
Seriously?
Yes. You have seen this offensive line. How long do you think Hundley lasts? Why not get someone else in to at least learn the offense? I thought we were about being prepared.
Btw, we have now seen the results of watching 3 good offensive linemen walk the past two seasons. It ended, predictably, with AR getting hurt
I thought Ted was prepared. Didn’t he trade up for a left tackle? I also wouldn’t exactly say Ted was/is well prepared at cornerback.
We have 2 healthy QB’s who know the offense, know the Packers. You think Ted is going to bring in a cancer, or a guy who gets injured doing his laundry……………..and pay them? They may bring in a QB, but he’s going to come cheap whoever he is.
I’ll assume you posted this while intoxicated….
No, stone cold sober my friend
Holy shit this site finally works, Anyway, they wanted to showcase Hundley so bad during preseason, now they get the chance. Maybe TT can get a 3rd round pick for him next year. That will make it all a success right? Let’s see McCarthy be successful without Rodgers pulling miracle plays out of his ass every game. Say hello to the Cleveland Packers. I think Hundley will be decent once he gets time to practice with the first team but he’s no Aaron Rodgers. Plus how long will Hundley stay healthy the way O-line has been? Fuck the Vikings and Anthony Barr.
Yes this site works for maybe a little while. So now I get a chance and I’m going to take it. I know this site likes calling it like it is and you can like it or not. I like it, but I’m going to say it like it is. Maybe you could have cloud flare ban me again. Fuck them! This site needs to fucking fix their problems with people getting on. Fucking fire these cloud flare clowns then punch the fuckers in the mouth, or punch them then fire them.
Since I probably won’t be able to get on again for awhile. Not sure what you can do about the injuries. If you have no o-lineman and a backup QB you are in trouble. The defense did as well as they could. In fact the score could have been Packers 0 without the D. You can’t win when you score 0 points on offense I don’t care how fucking bad or good your defense played. Jones should have been used more as a runner. Huntley should have been allowed to air it out to keep the defense honest. Maybe he wouldn’t have enough time, but maybe he would have. Throw the damn ball deep on first down don’t allow the Vikings to just play the first 5 yards from the line.
There is one player who played today at corner that can and will tackle in the secondary, Pipkins. Watch the tape. Pipkins needs to play more, starter no, but keep putting him on the field.
Oh and by the way how can you post to fast when all you do is push a fucking button? X 3,4,5,6,7!
You must be the type to beat your wife or G/F (maybe your B/F) when the Packers loose.
Typical Packer fan.
If that was meant for me fuck off and have a nice day looser ;-). If it was meant for cheese fuck off looser :-).
Yeah! Don’t talk to Howard like that you “looser!”
“You’ll be laying on the ground wondering what happened and meanwhile, I’ll already have my dick in your wife.
All of that said, I’m not going to overreact…”
LOLOLOLOLOL!!!
It’s a good thing Randall got gifted another interception, Also, it’s a good thing the queens offense was somewhat impotent today, otherwise the score would have been 42-3, queens.
Is it time to talk about Bennett’s blocking and pass catching skills yet? I’m ready.
Gifted is a good word for it. Otherwise he (23) was barely in the same zip code as to where he belonged most of the day. Just inconsistent.
Hey man. Bennett’s bro had a racist cop stick a gat in his ear-hole a while back. Cut him some slack. Takes a while to get your head around that stuff and get the creativity back in the game. Missin’ Jared Cook yet? I am.
Hoping that practicing with the first string makes a difference but man, did Hundley ever really step forward in a collapsing pocket to create more time? Many times one or two steps up would have made a difference.
I’m sorry, but this season now could, and should expose a lot. What we all really knew all along. TT and MM have been riding on the back of Rodgers and that has covered so many shortcomings. Highly successful NFL coach? We shall see. Hundley might improve a bit more with more first team practice, but the line that made Rodgers vulnerable is protecting him too. Good luck with that. Otherwise on the offense you have good center and three, maybe four, good receivers. That’s it. You might have a decent running back, if he gets the touches.
If this season becomes write off and we wind up with a high draft pick, good Lord in heaven please don’t let Ted be doing picking next year. Some how, some way, just give him the TV remote at an assisted living facility and he can follow along with Kiper, Mayock, or Casserly but do not let him pick anymore.
As most of his interceptions they were gifted cause he can’t cover so he’s wandering around and then hey there is a ball might as well catch it. Saw that play about 3:30 to go in the first quarter? Man he didn’t know how to get out of the way fast enough from the two guys running at him to block for the guy behind them.After that he made a half hearted attempt to
push that guy out of bounds. I told everyone from the beginning he’s never gonna learn it.
I got a phone call from TT a couple hours ago. I told him that technically I was available, but questiond why he wanted a 60 year old short fat guy to play on the O Line.
Also – need to change something with the servers for the web site. Whatever has been tried in the past 3 weeks simply isn’t working.
Losing Rodgers to an injury was a given. With this GM, coaching staff and training staff it was inevitable. When Aikman again starts questioning MM’s ridiculous play calling you know the cat is out of the bag. Does Hundley have anything other than rudimentary “vision” in the pocket? He looked completely blinded by most every play! This Packers year just went up in smoke . . . Sad for this, but most all of us saw it coming. FUCK TT, MM, DC and Murphy! They have created this mess, and this is where everyone will finally see just how FUCKING awful this charlatan coaching staff is . . . speaking of BAD, WTF is up with this website? It is quite schizophrenic to say the least . . .
Speaking of Aikman, how could those 3 dumb-asses in the booth take 5 minutes before realizing McCarthy burned his challenges up in the first half? Someone ought to hide McCarthy’s red flag until the second half. And where the hell are these double TE sets we heard about that were supposed to be a huge improvement? They could have used some of that to assist the porous offensive line since it appears Bennett can’t catch.
Honestly, I’m surprised Rodgers lasted this long with the hits he was taking this season. They take Rodgers for granted big time. Hopefully Hundley will perform better than the clown show McCarthy trotted out there in 2013. But I really think McCarthy is going to finally be exposed for the fraud he is. No way Hundley can overcome the offensive and defensive liabilities that await a mere mortal at QB. It will take a miracle.
We all know Cadaver Thompson won’t do a FKG thing, they will draft & Develop Hundley to finish out season at 4-12. The sonic boom you’ll hear is McSlobs outstanding coaching record take serious nose dive.
funny. Well if any good comes out of this it will be to expose the real McCarthy. Will Big Mike, a.k.a., Bubba, fat slob, stupid, etc. be saying by December, “I am a highly successful NFL coach,” or will he be leaning over a trash can in the Lambeau parking lot, saying, “This is the best thing that ever happened in my life.” Can anyone tell me who the strength and conditioning coach is? What does he do for a living? Maybe he hires gremlins to sneak in linemens’ rooms at night to drive nails into their knees and pour soap on their Captain Crunch. Thompson/McCarthy/Hundley is not Wolf/Holmgren/Favre. Let’s get off the speed, no illusions here. This situation can only end badly. I am a Packer fan, but also a realist. It is going to take a major implosion before the ownership of the Packers makes the right choices and brings in another Wolf to turn this mess around. I actually think that bringing Favre back now would provided more hope than having Hundley finish out the season. At least it would sell some tickets. The only way the Packers win is if they play teams that are just as miserable.
Cant even begin. Rodgers was playing at a level we have not seen before (and thats saying something) hence why a team with a poor coaching staff and a shoddy defense was able to be 4-1. Well that and the shitty level of play on any given week in the NFL, I mean really has this product ever looked worse? All the fancy stadiums and bright new uniforms cant cover up the turd that is the NFL product today.
Also when you consider the sheer size and speed of the NFL player today, there is just no way exposed players (rb’s, qb’s, linemen) arent gonna get hurt, and hurt in large quantities year after year. So take a bad product and take away the few stars making it somewhat worth watching and what do you get? Well you get what we saw for 45 minutes (game time) yesterday. 2 bad football teams looking like Duke vs. UNC Charlotte football.
Troy Aikman actually talked over me at the exact same time when I said “what kind of play calling is this?” I mean you have a team that is stacked to stop the run on 1st and 2nd down because your #1 Qb is out and what do you do? You run? And what a big surprise when they then pin their ears back on 3rd and head straight up field to try and kill your last remaining QB. Who was Mcfatty gonna trot out there once Hundley got hurt? I mean hey lets keep the guy in the pocket and only let him throw on 3rd down behind an offensive line made up of guys who were sweeping floors at a grocery store 6 weeks ago.
Im no fair weather fan, everyone knows I cant stand Mccarthy, havent been able to stand him since the year after the super bowl. He is extremely arrogant (sure most coaches probably are) but so much to the point I think he sticks to losing strategies just to say “nananananana na”. We have one 1 Super Bowl with arguably the best player to ever grace a pro sports team. We are now gonna see what happens without Arodge to cover up Mccarthys idiocy. This team has a serious lack of super stars. Look England wins without star power but guess what, Tom fucking Brady. Well Brady’s not on this team and neither is Arodge anymore. At least not for another 8 weeks minimum.
Oh and im not being dramatic when I say “cut Bennet”. I mean it. Cut him. Huge mistake picking that guy up. We should have paid Cook whatever he wanted. He earned it. Bennet used to be a cancer who still had game. Now he is a cancer who no longer gives a fuck about football other than his paycheck. Seriously watch the guy. He playes with ZERO enthusiasm or effort. Drops balls and gives up sacks, doesnt block downfield…watch when he comes off the field after dropping another pass, his teammates make a wide path around him. Noone is slapping his ass saying “its ok, shake it off”. Why would you bring a guy like that onto this veteran team? Fuck him.
Jake Ryan, really? That guys needs to be traded to Cleveland. Linebackers are supposed to move upfield and meet incoming RB’s. Fill holes and cause mayhem. He sits on his heels and thats a mistake for a guy who doesnt have the speed to make up yards on the lam. Fuck him too.
This teams training and conditioning is a joke, or these guys dont play hurt anymore. Does anyone think its out of the realm of possibilities that the players union isnt telling these guys behind closed doors “if you even have the minorist of dings, sit out. Why play even slightly hurt for these rich owners. Besides every game you miss is a one more game your career extends.” Ive believed this for years.
Well at least now I can do shit with my kids on Sundays.
Well said! My disdain for McCarthy started after they lost to Arizona in 2009. Told my father in law they wouldn’t win shit under McCarthy, then they went out and Rodgers wins one in spite of that dipshit. We shall see just highly successful this NFL coach is once he doesn’t have Rodgers to bail him out. The worst scenario is Hundley plays lights out and inflates McCrthy’s ego anymore than it already is. Somehow I doubt we will have any TV shots of Hundley mouthing to the sideline “Stupid fucking play” anytime soon though.
“what kind of play calling is this? I mean you have a team that is stacked to stop the run on 1st and 2nd down because your #1 Qb is out and what do you do? You run? And what a big surprise when they then pin their ears back on 3rd and head straight up field to try and kill your last remaining QB.”
This is how I felt during the NFCCG when McCarthy predictably ran Lacey up the middle into a congested line three consecutive times in a row. He says he wanted to run the clock out and would do it all over again but we all know how that played out right? He has the best QB in the league and 5 minutes left on the clock before they win a trip to the super bowl but lets just give the ball back to Seattle. Fucking Moron.
Empacador- “Told my father in law they wouldn’t win shit under McCarthy, then they went out and Rodgers wins one in spite of that dipshit. We shall see just highly successful this NFL coach is once he doesn’t have Rodgers to bail him out.”
This is EXACTLY how I felt during that time. Even when they were in the playoffs in 2010 I had zero confidence they would win because I knew McCarthy ALWAYS did something completely boneheaded to fuck things up, despite the team having more than enough potential to win.
Just start looking forward to a top 10 draft pick that TT can use on a hybrid safety/linebacker/CB that nobody has heard of, when Barry Sanders is still available.
We can always draft Leon Sandcastle.
Leon can’t do everything.
If this mess costs that mentally deranged overrated white haired freak his job, maybe it’s worth it. When Peyton went down and the Colts won one fucking game, the world realized, duh, they were just a one man team and changes were made. That’s what this douchebag built with his shit draft picks and reluctancy to add an occasional FA from day one. May win one game the rest of the way, but maybe not!
Last season the Patriots went 3-1 when Brady was serving his suspension…unfortunately the Packers resemble the Colts in terms of relying 99% on their QB
Everybody wonders why was Jones not played more and earlier. Is Martinez the only one who can tackle?
L’l Mike will say hé how can any coach stay highly succesful with so much injured starters.How come even Atkins noticed we have so much injuries over the years? I don’t have to answer those stupid questions.
The only “good” thing to come out of this is Hundley has been here a few years. Not like 2013 when McCarthy blew up the QB position on the eve of the regular season. Still, Rodgers went 6-10 his first season as starter after sitting 3 years. Hundley, spotted a 4-1 record, probably isn’t going to have a .500 winning percentage in 10 games. With no O-line and as long as they insist on pretending Randall and Rollins are quality DBs (saw way too much of both their numbers on Sunday) due to their draft positions, 3-7 might be wishful thinking at this point.
This ^^^^
Packers Organization is run by FKG Ass%$&es, Murphy, Thompson, McSlob. They have no concerns or worries. Coach like shit, Draft bums, and a Useless gap-tooth figure head whose balls were removed at birth. I guess Hue Jackson will get his 1 win after all.
HOW in the love of Christ is Dom Capers employed?????? he must have pictures of Ted & Mike with farm animals?? Is there anyone in that secondary who can tackle??? let alone cover
Hundley & Callahan, I feel better already. Rearranging deck chairs on Titanic
Knowing McCarthy’s history, he probably has a section of his BK menu dedicated to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic depending on down and distance…as predetermined before the game is played.
Exactly. As predetermined! While also remembering to get in a “certain amount” of running plays on offense without regard to the score, weather or injury, because, well because his little voice says so . . . ( coaching skill set not necessarily required to do this). MM looked like a dim-wit on Sunday, just like he always does when he listens to that little voice . . .
And so here we are. Exactly what I predicted. (On Total Packers, 9/29/17).
Not protecting AR will “not end well, and it will be on you Ted Thompson.”
Sitton, Lang, Tretter, purposely let go. Rodgers exposed. BANG. Season over.
Fuck you, you cheapskate Ted Thompson. Fuck you, you stupid, predictable
Mike McCarthy. Fuck you, you yawning on national TV, Dom Capers.
Shame on you all.
