Packers Game Ball: Green Bay Crushes The Bills 34-7

but hes running from the pocket on every play. Clay Matthews should have a good day.

But we can argue that all day. The Bears will fold when they play against a more formidable team. The Cowpies are really overrated and it showed with their terrible game today. As BlackOutSOx said (Good to see ya from SSS, by the way)… Cutler will be the Claymaker’s chewtoy come next week.

I’m not sure what to make of them. They looked AWFUL in pre-season. they had a couple good breaks againts Detroit to win that game. I watched them go for it on 4th and goal to be stopped short and thought “What the heck is that????”

Then again, Dallas has looked like they need some kind of medication. They are not on the same page at all. Was it a good, convincing win? I didn’t watch enough to have an opinion. Given the preseason hype of Dallas, I’m lead to believe they have a good team. Yet they sure haven’t delivered.

“Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.”

Viqueens in an 0-2 hole.

Hawk didn’t play that poorly today. In fact he applied pressure to flush the QB out of the pocket on one of Matthews sacks.

I can see this sort of venom for a Packers player after a loss, but for cripes sake we won 34-7 and the defense played well overall.

Save the rants for the bad games. I’m sure I’ll be joining you in ganging up on Hawk at some point this season, but the man had a decent game.

but it is a real nice security blanket

i didn’t notice until after half-time. I did notice that Clifton got beat a few times early, but I thought I got his legs under him when the pressure stopped. Turns out he had been benched.

it’ll be interesting to see what they do. You’ve got to keep Clifton around. Bulaga will probably struggle at some point and if Clifton gets healthy he’d be a great guy to bring back in when that happens, and quite frankly, while I like that Bulaga got a look today, I’d rather he just play sporadically this year while he adjusts to the pro game.

totally missed Cliffy going out & NEVER commented
on the change til Bully got called for a penalty..they sucked…

not a great game

But we’re playing the Bears in Martz’s offense, so that probably won’t happen right away.

Hawk’s not gonna see the field much next week I bet.

It will take him a few weeks to get confident and moving around making plays. At this rate, if he keeps improving, Bigby may come back as a reserve.

He has passed three tests. Plus wasn’t the allegation on Cushing that he was using while he was home in NJ? Plus lots of NFL players on that USC team they were on. Only one has been busted for PED’s.

Do you feel that way about Malaluga too? I don’t get the whole Matthews is using aspect. The reality is, he came into college weighing like 170 pounds. He was a late bloomer. I’m sure you, and many others have had friends who were the smaller kids growing up, and then all of the sudden get very big as they hit puberty later. I know I have. I just don’t understand why it’s so far fetched too think that Matthews being a late bloomer compounded by him being a VERY hard worker has led to him becoming a physical specimen and very good football player.

Pretty cowardly attack without any evidence. I don’t know what he did at USC, but unless you know something I don’t, he’s apparently passed every test he’s taken in the NFL. Doesn’t stop people from making baseless accusations, I guess. If he tests positive, then you can rip him all you like. Til then, you should probably either sign your real name to a comment like that or just shut up.

I could try pointing out the fact that Clay Matthews has passed every test he’s taken, but I get the feeling that I shouldn’t confuse you with the facts.

… that in the MLB there was no testing program. We knew performance enhancing substances were being used because you could see them in the lockers of ballplayers, and when asked about them, they didn’t deny their use. I’m talking about Andro and Creatine, which at the time were legal substances, and not steroids. We also knew, based on the admissions of some retired players, that steroid use was widespread in baseball. We knew that the union was fighting testing and we knew that many players were coming from foreign countries where steroids were and are readily available, even moreso than they are in the US (and that’s saying something). And we knew that many of these players were entering the minor leagues without ever having been subjected to programs that were (at least nominally) subject to NCAA supervision and regulation.

Baseball in the 80’s and 90’s was the wild west when it came to PEDs. The NFL banned and began testing for steroids over a decade before the MLB did. Baseball fans moan about how their sport gets a bad rap (and I love baseball), but they got that reputation because the league was deliberately looking the other way, which was the opposite to the approach taken by the NFL (starting in the 90’s at least). In short, you could look at Bonds and Mac and others, see how their bodies had ballooned, and because of the culture of the sport and the complete lack of regulation AND their own admitted use of legal PEDs, and conclude that they might be using.

The other problem with that comparison is that Matthews grown happened between the ages of 18 and 23, which statistically is still a period where significant growth happens in humans. Bonds got big in his late 20’s and early 30’s, when that kind of growth, absent a disease or the use of substances, is highly unlikely.

In short, it’s not remotely the same situation. And given the fact that Matthews is apparently passing his tests (as far as we know, because the NFL certainly sat on the Cushing story for a while, didn’t they?), i think it’s unfair to make the assumption or to suggest that he’s using, or that he ever has. If he fails a test, then the story changes dramatically, of course.

You aren’t going to win the games you need to with TJack and if Favre is sitting he is not getting more in sync with the offense remember that Favre really didn’t start doing a whole lot for you guys till the last second of the San Fran game in week 3.

if he doesn’t want to be sat!

Chilly sure doesn’t have the stones to force the issue.
And, if he did, Bertt would prob’ly have the ultimate meltdown, and retire right there on the spot! lol.

haha you really think the coach has the balls to do it? I don’t. He’s starting all season…

not at all sure why they actually started #23 today as opposed to Spiller. Was it an “in your face Green Bay”? Was it an audition to get the trade bait up? After seeing BJ’s abysmal performance, I’d be willing to give up a 3rd for Lynch at this point because we have NO ONE that can run with the ball. Granted, we don’t know what the rushin’ Russian can do….but he was on the practice squad for a reason.

Buffalo has a crappy OLine. Their 3 headed monster at half back looked mostly pretty good against a pretty good run D. Think how good Lynch could do with a 1/2 way decent line and the threat of a good QB?

But didn’t Marshawn Lynch look pretty damn impressive against us at times?

to ensure that the Bills would want too high of a price for him, now.

Yup! I think they are trying to drive his value up. That is why you hear the “he’s not available” and then he’s suddenly the primary back the next week. The offers coming in weren’t enough so they are trying to get his value to spike so they can send him on his way and get ready for next year with another nice pick.

I read on ProFootBallTalk.com that the Bills want a Starter and a draft pick for Lynch. I’m not sure if that means one of our starters, or someone that could start for them.

Or perhaps it was 2. I’m not sure. But in 2 games he’s got 0 TD’s and 4(?) Ints. So what’s he getting per game 1.25 million? Think he’s giving any of that back (even though it’s not about the money).

Mathsay has done well too though. I think we’re just fine with him.

My feelings exactly. I just wish my other team (the Badgers) would do the same instead of relying on other teams’ mistakes and blocked PATs.
