Seems to have not have been the problem tonight as far as I can tell.

I only vaguely paid attention though for obvious reasons.

Yeah, the D wasn't BAD and it could have been worse, but still getting shutout at home is ugly.

e: oh and our OLBs were backups today.

Hundley is terrible, and the first 2 WRs were out. Turns out everybody else hand numb hands or something, or else they didn't feel like running very hard on the deep routes.

A win is a win, and shutting out the Packers in Lambeau will never be not worth it, but good lord Hundley is bad.

Has Hundley even thrown a TD at home this year? Why not give Callahan a shot? Can't hurt anything now. Are they trying to keep teams from getting film on him or something?

Huh, he hasn't. I'm actually more surprised that he's had two games where he's thrown three after looking it up though (@PIT, @CLE). He's uh, got 8 on the year though, which is...not very good in the other 6 games he's played significant time in.

I haven’t watched many Packers games but is the coaching staff actually doing anything with the game plan to suit Hundley’s strengths?

It always seems like Rodgers is the only reason this team ever succeeds

He looked okay in the Pittsburgh game. Watching Rodgers last week was so night and day though. Rodgers did throw 3 really bad passes, but his decision making and speed of pulling the trigger on passes was sooooooo much better to watch than Hundley. Hundley does the same poo poo every time; back up, run around a bit, roll right and then throw it out of bounds. Or else, quick pass behind the line of scrimmage that gets sniffed out instantly and loses yards.

Both QB's had problems connecting on long passes. The WR's couldn't run as fast as expected on the half frozen surface.

They've already destroyed the trade value for one Rodgers backup, no sense in doing it for two.

Matt Flynn was bad timing, they probably would have gotten a third for him or maybe even a second if he had his one great game the year before his rookie contract was up.

But anyway, hilariously at least one Packers fan here was honestly arguing Hundley was worth a first this preseason. Which means there were probably a whole lot of Packers fans who felt this way, since as a group we're slightly (often maybe only slightly, but at least slightly) more level-headed than a lot of other groups of football fans most of the time. I...predict that will not come to pass.

I am pretty sure every team now has fans who claim their first round pick is worth something. Despite not doing poo poo.

As a chiefs fan you have experienced this first hand.

I spent the duration of the Packers game on a ladder truck platform dumping 20k gallons of water onto a house that was burning. Came off the truck, saw the home owner, and he says, "man, loving Packers".

I think he was in shock and didn't realize what was going on, but same dude. Same.

This would seem to apply more if Hundley was an untested first round pick? I actually went to look it up wondering if I was remembering this completely wrong or something--I do remember he had first round buzz for a while but that was long gone by the draft.

e: 5th round, 147th overall.

You are right I forgot how much he dropped off after the early hype.

Still my point stands if you eliminate the first round part.

People tend to overrate young QBs based on okay training camps.

Made the Engine guys do all the hose loading as we sat in the back of the box eating cookies. Owns.

Strangely, as the smoke was billowing from the roof, it formed two words... "Dom Capers". I think it was a sign.

I've seen enough.

Fire McCarthy and Capers. Get new blood into the organization. Demote Ted to area scout or something.

McCarthy can't put together an offense to save his life without one of the most talented quarterbacks to ever play the game. Pathetic.

The league office running replay is so lovely, and I knew it would be lovely and I'm glad everyone hates it.

Yeah, they really shouldn't have overturned that call.

Man the patriots in the second half just turned it on though, that was vicious. Dion Lewis had a beastly game. Gronk, Brady and Shaq Mason were just machines in the 2nd half.

Rooting for Cowboys over Seahawks I guess. Since they have a better shot of losing to the eagles so the bad falcons can still make it into the playoffs.

The most impressive thing the Patriots do is in the halftime adjustments. There have been so many games where they look like completely different teams from one half to the next.

Another quality replay decision, glad the league office held strong against the pressure to let a touchdown stand against the patriots.
