We finally found out why Clay Matthews was on the sidelines while the defense was hemorrhaging late in the NFC...

... and now we know why Kevin Greene "retired" from coaching Outside Linebackers for the Green Bay Packers. Major, MAJOR conflicts of personalities right there. Greene is live and die team first and Clay Matthews III is "take care of number one".

Sore knees?

Or just no desire to participate in preseason?

So much for veteran leadership from Clay.

EDIT:

Second thought not going to over react until Clay talks with the Packers beat reporters.

Not that I don't believe him, but the guy does work for ESPN, the network that likes to create news stories instead of just reporting the latest news.

As far a trading for Jimmy Graham
😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Here I thought Uffda had actually posted a story that we all could discuss.
Didn't take long to see his motivation.
Looking forward to another week of Ted bashing and 1000 New reasons Jimmy Graham would solve Uffda's self conceived TE problems.
I'm out of this one, like an old rerun of Bonanza, seen it too many of times.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think this should necessarily be a big deal. I mean, the author of the article was OK with the entire quote until the last phrase.

"...it was a bunch of things catching up to me. That’s what I’ve said since the game. It was a bunch of little things. It was knee. It was hip. I took that hit on the sack in which I had. I had a big hit on the tight end coming across the middle. It was a bunch of little stuff and that point, I didn’t feel confident putting myself out there. I had to do what’s in the best interests of not only the team..."

The way I see it he was just reiterating what he had already said. Lots of little things made him feel that he should take time to recover. I know that a lot of people may view that as selfish, but it depends on how exactly he felt and we the fans simply can't know that. The athlete knows his body better than anyone else, and if he thought he wasn't fit to be on the line, or that by lining up and playing he would actually be a hindrance to the team, then I'm fine with him making that call. If he was being a baby or just making excuses then I would be pretty damn disappointed, but I don't think I have enough information to condemn him at this point so I wont.

In a TEAM game, you don't talk about what's best for YOU. Yeah, maybe, off the field in a contract situation but NEVER on it and especially when a SuperBowl is on the line.

He's tarnished. I would love to see him dealt out of Green Bay. He's a heckuva nice guy off the field but this is too much for me and my tastes.

Man, we should've dealt him for Jimmy Graham. 🙂 Cure two problems...get rid of an egomaniac and add a star TE.

Hope it wasn't a Jay Cutler tap out...That Seattle loss is still a tough pill to choke down.

This is pretty tough to spin in a positive light, and as you said Buckeye, if he's willing to take himself out for a booboo on his knee minutes from the SB, it makes you wonder how bad his knee, hamstring, etc. Have been.

I don't want to completely give up on the guy, but that comment is inexcusable. Sack up and play when your team needs you.

I think its bull. He had a concussion and they arent saying anything about it because he went back in the game after it happened. When he collided with their TE on a play he looked KO.
