Our WR this year? what the deuce?

What is it with our receivers this year anyway? Game after game they seem utterly lacking in passion or even interest in the game. There have been only a few games this year where they've shown any effort in laying out for difficult passes. Most of the time they seem to be content watching them fly overhead. Maybe our wide receiver's coach should be on the chopping block too. His boys don't seem very eager to be on the field.

I hated watching Greg lollygag around after his INT while the safety was jetting down the field thanks to Greg's fuck up.

There does seem to be this apathy amongst the WRs and I don't get it. Driver IMO is even worse at drops than Jones, yet he can make the one-handed, upside down, behind the back blindfolded catch.

I've joked about it in pvs. threads, but it seems that you need to make it difficult on the WRs or they won't catch it.

Watching Greg just casually walk away after looking behind him (how did he not see the DB with the ball?) and continue walking bothered me. I thought c'mon you tipped the ball up in the air, that's a secondary's wet dream!

That was the first thing I noticed on the INT...Greg just kept on jogging. Apparently he didn't realize it was intercepted.

Yes. That would explain it. The way I remember it, it was not tipped up into the air, it was tipped pretty much sideways, and it just happened to go right into the defender's hands. It's been awhile since Jennings has dropped one of those, so I don't want to rip on him too much. Still, it was very, very costly.

I saw that too.

Jennings look non-chalant in slow motion after that INT.

But in real-time, it takes time to realize that its been intercepted, stop your forward sprint, and chase the ball.

Either way, GJ is back to under performing like in the beginning of the year.

I'll give you that, but he tipped the ball UP ... you have to make sure the ball was NOT caught before being nonchalant. Right? Just irks me when players give up. Ya gotta play for the full 60 minutes. I could never be a coach, I'd have a damn ulcer. I'd have been chewing Greg's ass off.

After this loss I think everyone here wants our coaching staff to be gone well I got news for you guys firing them won't do shit.At least for the remainder of the year.Look ill say it time and time again why do the coaches always and I mean ALWAYS get blamed.It's the players playing the game all our coaches are capable of coaching a good team.Cut the god damn packers some slack,they are still in playoff contention when half our starters are out we are limited to work with here.And yes im using injures as an excuse for this one.We played a horrible game it fucking happens even if its the lions i seen half of you say its gonna be a tough game what did u expect it is an lions team thats 3-10 that plays like an 7-6 team.Fine fire the offensive line coach maybe are WR coach because i think it won't make a difference.

lol this was the most hilarious, out of place comment. You picked a bad thread to post this in because no one blamed the coaches. Not a single poster said anything about a coach.

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!

Martha Careful (17h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (17h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Rude!

beast (21h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
