Where are all the Bulaga lovers now?
All the fans who wanted Tauscher pushed out the door for the rookie from Iowa?
A healthy Mark Tauscher is >>>>> Bulaga. We need to pray that Tauscher can miraculously get healthy because Bulaga is going to cause Arod to be the next IR casualty with Ray Edwards, Jason Taylor, DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer coming up.
Bulaga almost got Rodgers killed in the Redskin game, and yesterday he was even worse.
Our special teams continues to suck. Jordy & Pat Lee are clueless as KRers, but worse than that is our blocking scheme. Contrast that to our own kick coverage units, where Crosby and Masthay are often counted on to make tackles.
Speaking of Masthay, great work by this regime to keep using patchwork stiffs at punter. How's that working for us since they inexplicably decided to release Jon Ryan, who had proven himself as an above-average punter IN REAL GAMES. Bizarre.
Props to Cullen Jenkins and BJ Raji yesterday for manning up and playing tons of snaps while everyone else was too banged up to go (Neal again, and Pickett).
I'm a big Mike Neal fan, but are we seeing a pattern there from the super-muscled guy?
I've said it before, but Charles Woodson is killing us with his clutching and grabbing. He looks like an NHL player with all the illegal contact, holding he pulls. I'm sure he's lost a step, or half-step, but it seems that in his mind he's lost 3 steps because he feels like he needs to resort to grabbing every receiver. No wonder why we like to put him on opposing TEs whenever they are top pass-catchers like Witten.
We're screwed this week with Harvin, Moss, and Shiancoe because Tramon can't cover them all.
THE PACKERS LAST 5 LOSSES:
-yesterday in OT, game decided by any ONE of these key plays:
F**** penalty call late in the game on our guy lining up over the snapper on the Dolphins punt. Or the block-in-the-back penalty in OT called on Korey Hall when we were about to get nice field position in OT, but because Tramon went left, right, left, right, Hall ended up getting a guy in the back, so we had to start inside our own 15 yard line.
-Last week in OT.
-Week 3 in Chicago, a game we gave away with Jones fumble, and the refs took away with the BS penalty on Tauscher on Finley's TD, and the BS call on Zombo on Barnett's Int.
-Playoff game in OT at Arizona.... we all know that story. All 3 of these OT losses, OUR OFFENSE HAD THE BALL at least ONE drive, and some of them 2 drives. I love Rodgers to death, but he's had 5 chances in 3 OTs to lead us to a game-winning FG, and he's come up blank period. We don't need TDs in OT, just drives to the 35 yard line.
-Heartbreaking loss at Pittsburgh on the final play of the game.
Those are our last 5 losses. All extruciating m**** f**** heartbreak losses. All those games could have easily been won with just one less f*** up. We find a way to lose a lot of close games for some reason. Are we mentally weak or what?
Now, here's the good news:
IF, IF, IF (I know, big IF at this point) we beat the Grape Apes Sunday night, and if the Redskins beat the Bears, this is what we will be looking at:
Packers 4-3
Bears 4-3
Vikings 2-4
We'd still be the favorites to win the division if that happens.
But it could also look like this:
Bears 5-2
Vikings 3-3
Packers 3-4
And then it's a long uphill battle with games at the Jets, Dallas, then at the Vikings and at the Falcons. Most likely we'd be about 4-7 after that 4-game stretch.
