I wouldn't have been quite so hard on Finley if he hadn't run his mouth last week about the staff figuring out a way to get the ball to the playmaker. Run your mouth, get what you ask for, then drop sure points off the board. Twice. That's what frustrated me last night.

I told Pete last night that great teams find a way to win even when they don't play great. That happened last night. It was a gritty performance by the offense, which was crippled having to play without both of their tackles. And I think this was a signature win for the defense. Looked like garbage practically the entire first half, yet held a good offense to 14 points. Then come out after the half and lock it up for the final two quarters. It was impressive how both the O and the D were able to turn around poor starts to gut out a win against a good team; a team that may have been more motivated than any other team in the league to beat us this year. And in their home, no less. We came to town, took care of business, and got the W. 5-0. Next.

Lost in all this is the fact that Jarrett Bush -- yes, that Jarrett Bush -- had yet another interception last night. So did Charlie Peprah. That brings the Packers up to 10 on the season. Only the Bills (12) have more.

Believe it or not, the Steelers only have 1 interception on the season!

The defense looked aweful in the first half.

Other than that though...great post. Would read again.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

P.S. This feels like revenge for my anal-retentiveness in the other thread. And I like it, because it is deserved. Much love, NSD.

I figured that was what you were saying, but it would have been less confusing placed before the part of the sentence you were actually bemoaning.

The only reason I actually brought it up is that I have actually seen people using "alas" to mean something comparable to "hurray"! I couldn't believe it.

This, WPR, is the reason that I started a new thread, like I wrote in the intro. There are wandering arguments that lead away from the original thought.

Zero, feel free to merge it if you so please.

After last night, Aaron Rodgers now leads the league in completion percentage (71.7), yards per attempt (9.6, tied with Tom Brady), touchdowns (14, tied with Tom Brady), passes of 40+ yards (6, tied with Eli Manning and Matt Schaub), and of course, passer rating (122.9).

He is third in the league in completions (129), 7th for attempts (180), 11th for attempts per game (36.0), 3rd for yards (1721), 3rd for yards per game (344.2), 2nd for interceptions (2, tied with Donovan McNabb), 4th for 1st downs (72, tied with Matt Ryan), 5th for 1st down percentage (40), 2nd for longest pass completion (84 yards, tied with Andy Dalton), and 9th for passes of 20+ yards (19).

I don't know how to find the QB rankings for rushes.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (4h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (5h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (22h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23h) : 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) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

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

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
