Too many drops, yes. But these receivers have made a lot of spectacular plays this year. I just don't buy it that they are going all out on so many plays and quitting on other plays. I think the drops are more due to the entire offense being out of synch. It's been a problem all season. They haven't been able to get into a groove for any longer than one game at a time, except for the Cowboys-Vikings sequence.

Also, I watch a lot of other games, and receivers drop passes in every one of them.

To be fair, what has Rourke NOT complained about? I used to really follow his stuff, but this year, it's like listening to an old man who has no sex life take out his frustrations on everything near him.

Fire this, fire that, crap this, boohoo that...

I think we should get Walter for Rourkes avatar! hahah

My complaints are limited and specific, Kevin.

Fire Campen.

Fire Slocum.

Fire Robinson. (I acknowledge others have made good arguments against that idea, so I'm not as passionate about it anymore.)

Stop playing soft zone against elite QBs. (Capers blitzed the shit out of Cutler today, which I thought was awesome.)

Dump Jackson.

Dump Harrell.

Dump Bigby.

The vast majority of those complaints I've been stating for two years now.

The drops are a little ridiculous sometimes. Today those drops were missed opportunities to open up the game for us. We must get that corrected when we head to philly because we cant make mistakes against them and expect to win.

Just speaking on my own behalf, I'm not saying, "Gee whiz, Greg dropped a pass or didn't cut to the ball he must not give a flip." I'm just saying Greg short arming a pass, not attacking a ball on a slant, Jones letting balls bounce off his palms game after game are all examples of lethargy or a lack of focus (in Aikman's account of McCarthy's words). Not chronic, just episodic.

The WRs have made some great plays this year (why Greg is in PB, Driver v San Fran) and are one hell of a group. I'm not denying some of the heart and effort they've shown...I'd just like to see some more consistency. If a ball hits you in the palms and you drop it, what else can you conclude other than a lack of focus?

I need to archive the chat logs.

(technically, I'm the old man without a sex life. Rourke is the oversexed dude.)

if true, clearly proves that point that alot of sex really can't make a man 'happy'. ;)

back to the drops.
i know at least twice i thought 'damn aaron you don't need to throw a bullet there'. anyone ever think that perhaps the problem is at times rodgers sometimes 'over' throws passes occassionally?
i agree with whoever said the offense was out of sync. i think it was greg but yes we've seen this over & over again this season.
i'm not buyin our wr's aren't giving 100%.

Experience proves one who talks about something excessively, is compensating for lack of.




I wonder how much of our WR catching the ball issues are related to them trying to run before they make the catch?

Indisputably true. Some of the bitterest, unhappiest men I know devote their lives to chasing tail. A few of them have a lot more sex than I do, yet they're miserable.

If this is supposed to be a knock on me, however, it misses wide of the mark. Sure, I like to ride the emotional rollercoaster of a game -- it's fun -- but to imply I'm somehow miserable for more than a few minutes after a loss is just silly. For me the whole process -- the emotional experience -- is why I follow football. There is a certain pleasure in the agony of defeat, just as there is in the thrill of victory. If it weren't for those emotional swings, I'd find it boring. If what I wanted was an emotionally neutral experience, I'd take up knitting.



Considering the guys you're criticizing by implication here, that's just hilarious.

By the way, what does any of this have to do with the topic at hand?
