While not tearing it up, Driver had a solid effort today. We barely had the ball so not the fault of Driver. 3 times, Aaron threw the ball to Driver and all 3 times resulted in big plays. First pass attempt was a nice 29-yard TD pass to Driver on a broken play. That shows that Aaron and Driver have good chemistry.

The second attempt was an almost 50 yard completion to Driver. I complained earlier that we weren't looking for Driver deep enough. Good to see this happen.

The 3rd attempt was a 12-yard completion to Driver for an important 1st down. Driver fought to tack on the extra 2 yards.

So another A earned by Driver from the Zombieslayer. Excellent effort/performance. He only had 3 catches not because of anything Driver did, but because our O barely had the ball today. Until the final drive, it was all Detroit in terms of time of possession and total plays.

Good news and bad news, Driver fans.

First the bad news. After 130 straight games of catching at least one completion, an injured (but still playing) Donald Driver did not catch a single ball all game long. He had one "thrown" in his direction. The ball was so bad that I could have thrown better than that even after two martinis.

Driver served as a decoy the whole game and helped open up things for James Jones and Gregorious. Now Jones is the good news. Remember back in 2007 I said how I was a big fan of James Jones, how he will eventually replaced Driver as our possession receiver? I also said he had a little bit of Sterling Sharpe in him. Well, he certainly showed traces of it yesterday. For all the Jones hate on this board, give the guy time. He's going to be good. Watch.

Here's to hoping Driver makes a full recovery asap. Miss seeing him throw in 100% effort with every play and fighting like Rocky Balboa for every extra yard of YAC.

Agree, Zombie, It has been said DD is tougher to make sit down than any other player, the guy is "The Ultimate team player", it was a shame his streak came to an end, especially since i had him in my lineup last night.

I am hoping DD can be convinced to sit down this week(they will have to take away his helmet!!!)that would give him 2 weeks to get healthy and be ready for the "Boys" then another week off with the bye, DD would be ready for the final run to the play-offs.

The Packers need a healthy DD for that stretch run!!!

couldn't agree more on the driver sentiments...

but I want to hijack the thread and agree with what zombie said. Back when there was talk about using jones as trade bait for williams out of carolina, both zombie and I were screaming no (maybe Ted heard us! 🙂 because we/I know what he can become. He plays much bigger and tougher than his size, and is almost like a TE. The chicago debacle, and a slower than desireable development aside, the kid is showing how good he can and will become.

JJ's play last night hopefully will convince Driver and the coaching staff that he can sit for this next game and get healthy.

LOL.

Although it's funny, Driver is one of the only Packers (or maybe the only one) who still likes Favre, the person.

Na.. there were a number of players that came up to Favre before the game.. and after it.

I should mock it up with the Vikings overall.. which is what the intended symbolism really is.

The Irony there is Driver didn't have a catch for the first time in how many games..

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
