You guys are right about Walden. He was the player who stood out on defense. I wasn't expecting that at all. It was a fantastic effort from him, and they needed it. He may be better than Zombo, who may be better than Jones. (Imagine how good our FOURTH stringer would be?)

I don't think there can be any debate about this. Masthay was unquestionably the player of the game. It's impossible to overstate the importance of field position in the NFL, and he set the Bears up with consistently terrible field position.

I think I'll go ahead and question it.

To clear the air: Masthay played beautifully. No doubt about it. And while his role is fundamentally tied to field position, and field position is important, to me Walden made more high impact plays. It can tend to be easier to shine when you have one responsibility: kick the ball. When you have to rush the passer, play the run, and drop back in coverage, it's hard to stick out. Walden stuck out. Two sacks, 10 tackles, key tipped pass -- just generally always being around the ball.

Now, a few have pointed out he gave up contain. Yeah. But he made up for it.

This is entirely subjective, of course. But Walden gets my game ball.

It's a whole different story than just "kick the ball" though when you are responsible for kicking to Hester.

If we're going to split it up like that, I would break it down like this:

Offense: No award. No one stood out this game. Even Rodgers was barely above 50% for most of the game. Honorable mention: No award. Jennings might have gotten it had he put out any significant effort to catch the ball on that interception. But he didn't, so he is disqualified.

Defense: Walden. With the exception of his one failure to contain, he came up big series after series. Honorable mention: Raji.

Special teams: Masthay. Honorable mention: Bush.

I hardly consider Punters to be ball players.. lol.. but his effort today, and that of the Gunners, most notably Bush was excellent.

And as much as I protested it.. we haven't suffered and injury to Williams yet this season as a punt returner.. but he helped flip the field for us as well..

MVP of the game is a bit of a stretch for me and my bias on the punter.. but hard to argue that point.

Hope he brings that to the playoffs.

Bias against punters.. yes, a product of the position they play.

The Quarterbacks as a whole.. the number of guys over the years of camps and play.. they earned that... candy ass me first jackasses for the most part. lol.

Let's not forget.....as cold as it was, kicking that ball is like kicking a rock!
He kept it away from Hester, which was HUGE.

Zero2Cool (15h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (16h) : 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) : 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

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21-Jan) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.
