Agreed. The point being that getting an OLman in the first round does not guarantee success (Carimi and Williams disproved that point). Heck, effective or no, our current OL has only one 1st rounder and he wasn't even drafted for the position he's currently filling in at. And what's more, he didn't even play the position he WAS drafted for all that long in college. BPA or skill is where you go when doing first round...IMHO. Yes Jason, that is subjective.

I'll say it once I'll say it again. Don't waste 1st Rd pick on ol. Need Safety, CB and or ILB

SHOCKER!

The Ducks RT will be a Junior next season. ?

You forgot Sweet Willie!!! The 'not OLB' DE!!!

Can't watch the game today but have seen what's being posted here and saw the first quarter and man oh man.... Looks like those that would prefer the team get a better draft pick are getting their wish.

If it makes you happy...sure.

Don't want to sound cold hearted but if it were such a distraction then he should have sat out. His wife gave birth the week prior and if anything would have been experiencing post partum depression when this took place. We don't know the circumstances of his missing but there leaves a lot to be explained according to this report: http://heavy.com/news/2015/12/kristin-cava...video-facebook/ Why is the family so 'hush hush' and that Kristin posted she was sad about missing her high school reunion when two days before was when he went missing? Inquiring minds wanna know. Brett Favre had one of his best games ever right after his dad passed away. I don't buy the distraction...

If you take into consideration how Rodgers somehow got a facemask call when the guy swiped by his face and this call was not a 'roughing the passer' or other similar call, then there is no doubt inconsistency. And if they review it and do in fact determine the guys deserves a fine then that confirms our team got screwed.

Excellent point! And yes, one that shows the sad disparity and inconsistency that is officiating this year.

And re-sign Gafford. ?

So how is it this same team can look stellar when playing on the road and near garbage when at home? Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?

Maybe it wasn't the long snappers fault after all?

SWEET WILLIE with two sacks! Both against former 1st round pick multiple Pro Bowl player Joe Staley!!!

I have a bad feeling we're not seeing Forte back next year.

Big screw up on the refs not calling that Cutler slam.

You know it's pointless for you to point things like this out right? It's always another player's fault when Jay throws these. This was one part Cutler needing to do a better job of selling the play and one part the defender making a good play. If you recall a few weeks back where Jay threw a similar 'pick six' to Verrett (who jumped that play) when playing the Chargers. Generally speaking when a defender jumps a route it's a combo of seeing and recognizing a play from film or experience and/or the QB not doing a good job of diverting away from the play. Experience shows Jay has a tendency to lock on players to include during the play set up, which easily could have happened here. And before Jason pees himself I will say Jay has played overall pretty well today. So far...

That's what I get for jumping your s#*t. Haha.. I originally thought it was Caddyshack but then thought Stripes (or you were a "Chiver"). Hell all of these are from the early 80's and I still feel old.

At first I thought; 'wow only $60 next year'? then I considered Lauvilin was to blame. ? And Ghostbusters was from '85? Holy smokes I feel old.

I was kinda more pulling your chain than anything. In fact when I watched the video, I couldn't help but think of how in NFL Madden you would find players given certain numerical player ratings. Similar to how Bryant was illustrating in his video. Yet if facing a higher rated player during a game, and with the right 'X' 'Y' buttons and a properly timed 'truck' move my 65 rated RB could outmaneuver their 85 rated LB. Similar analogy no? That's how I started to reminisce about Madden.

Your being reminded, reminded me of the great orator John Madden and how he discussed effort, "loads", biscuits and other fun Maddenisms.

Yeah pretty sad way to end the game. By watching this though GB to me is on the downside to their success. IF they make the playoffs, they won't last long. Like I said before; GB and Coach McCarthy better start getting used to losing to the Bears.

Well actually I'd say considering both Osweiller and Hasselbeck are backup QBs and so far are undefeated, an argument could be made they both had to overcome quite a bit to get where they are.
