[QUOTE="DarkHelmet, post: 848073, member: 9399"] Studs: Williams. Great game. Great presence of mind and discipline on the non-TD. He can run with power, he can catch, he can block. Not as quick as Jones, but he proved to me he deserves roughly equal touches. Rodgers. A couple of those throws were insane. Running to convert on a crucial third down. Should have had TDs on both the Jones drop and the Shepard face bounce/interception. Marcedes Lewis. A couple of big catches. He should be getting paid more than Graham. Lazard. Clutch, clutch catch for the TD. He's got size, and attitude. Love that he took it right into the body of the DB on that midfield sideline play. "No, I'm not skittering out of bounds -- I'm gonna hit you! Stop me if you can!" We need a whole lot more of that. Fackrell. Made some key tackles. The Smiths. The free agency acquisition of these guys keeps getting validated. Easily worth the money so far. Without the Smiths we're more likely 3-3 rather than 5-1. Crosby. Perfect night on a night when he needed to be perfect. Scott. We should not take him for granted. O-line: got the job done The brain trust: LaFleur, Pettine, etc. Good game plan. Kept the guys in it with some salvage work when the momentum was all Detroit. Excellent clock management. Not to bash McCarthy, but it's clear to me that LaFleur & his staff are better with the clock. Both end of half and end of game. Duds: The ESPN crew. The announcers were mostly bad, adding little, getting stuff wrong, and then harping on a 10 yard penalty. They also showed little curiosity about calls that could have gone the Packers' way and didn't like the goal line Detroit TD, the possibility of the opening flea-flicker actually being incomplete, various other borderline calls. Jones. Great game last week. Bad game this week. The fumble wasn't egregious -- good defensive play and sometimes it just happens. The dropped TD was worse, IMO. No excuse not to catch that. Shepard. No details necessary. I liked Lazard better than Shepard based on pre-season anyway. IMO Lazard should absolutely be ahead of Shepard on the depth chart. Maybe ahead of Kumerow and Allison, too. Allison. I like the guy, but he just doesn't make contested catches very often. That means he's not a slot receiver and probably not a starter at all. He's depth. Refs. A couple questionable calls in both directions. Two different rulings on the Lions goal line TD. Probably missed a PI call against the Packers, though PI is now a lot like holding: you could probably call it on nearly every play if you wanted to. Feels good to get back to beating the Lions! 5-1 for a first year head coach and our number 1 receiver missing important games? We are very well positioned. [/QUOTE]
