First, do NOT take ESPN's words on players, especially when they're using cut up quotes like they did with Woodson. ESPN likes to play sports like a Soap Opera. As for this game, it's shakey. Very odd. The lack of penalties against the Vikings was incredibly noticeable. Notice how the only...

People need to stop with Tauscher. IF he could come back in time and IF he was in proper shape to play football he'd still have a ton of catching up to do in a position we don't really need help with. Barbre was terrible the first game, but since he's been solid. Nearly all our pressures and...

Chillar was in as SS which meant Bishop came in for Barnett after Barnett had his 40 reps. Which may sound great to a lot of you, but Bishop blows in coverage and is more used to lining up in Hawk's position, not Barnett's. Then again Barnett didn't have the most fantastic game either. Either...

Defense did alright, but Chillar as a SS clearly did not work and should not be tried again. Ever. Him being out of place I think really made some holes on the defense which were taken advantage of again and again and you can bet that if a team ever spot that setup again they're going to abuse...

I agree that we may have focused too much on ST with this season's roster. ST can be surprisingly impactful, but so can depth. On the flipside, Meredith would not have contributed anything this year whatsoever and it's surprising someone actually signed him and Smith obviously had some...

Experiment? What experiment? There is no experiment here and thinking like this is why so many things, not just in football, fail. If it's not working right now? Get rid of it. This impatience and willingness to replace, replace, replace only creates chaos which only hurts the team. Yet...

Aye, that's the frustrating thing. We know the talent is there. We know the ability is there. We know the coaches we have are good coaches (well, for the most part). Yet we get that Bengals game. If I'm not a fan of the Packers and I see that game then I'm thinking they're one of the bottom...

I think people are too in love with getting rid of the old if they're not best of the best. If it's not Thompson then who? And the new guy who comes in, does he replace the coaching staff? Then if the coaching staff changes we're basically in rebuild mode all over again. Thompson has had...

Putting the blame on one person is really not the solution in this situation. McCarthy failed to get these guys into the mindset they needed for the games, but he did not fail in adjustments. Most of the game the team was using heavy protection, but they were still making penalties, dropping...

Clifton, Colledge, Spitz. That's two seconds and a third. The latter two were selected by Thompson. Aside from this, yes, you can create a fundamentally sound line with mostly 4th or more round draft picks. The O-line had it's problems, but the receivers were just as horrible tonight...

If we cannot pass protect then chances are we won't make it to any playoffs. And no kidding I won't hold my position. But that game there wasn't a problem with any one person in particular. Our offense as a whole blew it until two players managed to get it right on the last drive. Alright...

Smith as a number 3 SS? It's unreasonable to think that would have ever happened or that it would have even been a good thing. The times he'd likely come into play would be few and far between and he doesn't add anything else to the team.

Rouse played alright last week. He's going to get burned on a couple soft coverages, but I do think Capers is smart enough not to depend on him overly much for coverage. He's best used to try to move the offense into the playmakers and when used as such he's generally effective and will...

Jumping the gun much, gents? Tausch is done. He won't be coming back this season and with so long out at the age he is nobody will pick him up. As for Barbre, yeah, he had a poor performance. It was also his first start and he was up against a pretty good and experienced DE. More, he got...

The game was a bit of a fluke in a lot of ways. 1) It was unusually hot for GB. 79 degrees at the start of the game and a lot of guys on both sides of the ball played slower than usual, sloppier than usual or both. Driver and Woodson being perfect examples. 2) We probably should have seen...
