Losers blame refs.
Don't put the refs in a position to make the difference. Yes, I mean you, Clay Matthews. Yes, i mean you, Josh Sitton.
You are two of the studs of the team. You're supposed to lead by example. By _good_ example. By smart play on the sideline, Matthews! By good fundamental blocking technique, Sitton.
Lombardi would be causing hearing loss for these two guys this week. Wonder what Mike'll do?
I wonder who would have hit the pines longer today under Lombardi, Matthews or Lacy?
I'm doubtless alone in this, but that "launch" by Matthews bothers me a lot more than Lacy's fumble or Ross's mistakes on returns. Rookies fumble from time to time. It happens. Return men make bad decisions in the instant. I mean, it isn't like Cobb didn't do dumb things when he was back there from time to time.
But when a leader of the team makes a dumbshit play. That is worrisome to me. That way leads to the Oakland Raiders or the Forrest Gregg (coaching) era.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
