I Must Have Been Watching a Different Game

The win over the Philadelphia Eagles was nice and some of the young guys played well as did a few of the older bubble players, but putting aside the glowing reports from the “Kiss Ass” local media and the “Homer” TV and radio network casters I saw some troubling things to worry about.

First and foremost shoddy tackling by the starters. Clay Matthews missing a sack he used to make in his sleep that led to a long TD completion was very troubling. The Claymaker hasn’t been the Claymaker for several seasons and that play makes me feel queasy.

You See I’m Not the Only One

This morning Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio summed up three of my main pet peeves of the current state of affairs of the Packers: 1. The “Just Good Enough” Packers. 2. Dom Capers. 3. Ted Thompson.

I have been accused of having a vendetta against Defensive Coordinator Dom Capers and General Manager Ted Thompson while being out in the opinion wilderness (and if there is something Packers Backers know about is being in the Wilderness) as far as those men are concerned and the general direction of the Packers by the “In Ted We Trust” crowd or as I call them “Tedders” and sycophants (a servile self-seeking flatterer by definition, but I have expanded that definition to compare them to those sad losers in sex chat rooms who pay the models thousands of dollars because they think they have a personal relationship with the girls while never having and never having a chance in hell to actually meeting them in person, but spend their time attacking others in the chat room they perceive not respecting their loved ones). Now doesn’t that sum up the “Tedders” to a tee?

New Teams for Old Packers

It took a while, but the career of former Packer Backer favorite (until he got beat for the winning TD in overtime of the 2014 “Great Collapse”) isn’t over after Tramon Williams signed a 1-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals.
