I'm particularly looking forward to the Steelers Ravens game, should be a high scoring affair with both teams utilizing their talent stacked rosters.
theres been a ton of no call pi on Nelson which seems to have increased over the past few weeks, I originally thought his slow down in states was directly related to Rodgers being out but after rewatching the games, I think the closer he was getting to a monster season the more they allowed this kind of thing to happen. I think Rodgers being out doesn't help but he could still be putting up big stats each week, I think it would just take some more targets because the backups aren't as accurate as Rodgers.
did anyone catch Hawk running step for step w Reggie Bush? unfortunately it was a great pass right on the money that would have been almost impossible for a db to defend.

also using him more as a possession receiver than the deep threat he is, but that could just be an indication on his versatility. His big season he had 47 first downs on 68 catches, he has 42 on 61 catches in 11 games (he had 15 tds on those 68 catches, he has about half that with 7 right now)
Ugh I can't stand how our guys have to serve racial apprenticeships, I think a big thing that winds up happening with this, is White guys are left out of the all time record books. He is 28 now and only really got to start 3 years ago at 26, the same age as Welker. Hopefully he can keep cranking out the yards. Welker is top 50 at number 47 right now, 9249 but was the focal part of the offense for several years, Nelson isn't targeted as much, and neither is Welker now with the Broncos. If Welker got to start earlier he would probably be closer to top 30.
Nelson has a bigger ladder to climb with 4223 right now. I think he could have easily gotten 1600 this year which would have given him a bigger boost. 1800 wouldn't be a stretch either. He is a guy that should be getting at least 1200 to 1400 a year, so maybe he can crack the 10k point in his career.
No excuses. Packers O-line and Flynn are simply atrocious today.
Nelson's season has been derailed since Rodgers injury. god damn, he should get 100+ every single week! today he has 1 catch for 9 yards!
That's one of the (many, many) things that places us on the moral high ground. We don't make excuses when "our" guys perform poorly.
I can still root for Stafford/Durham...
at least Durham is having a decent outing with 3/68. that sets him firmly as Lions number 2 receiver, stat wise.
Flynn has been terrible but Nelson has been held all game long, it was briefly mentioned by Aikman from what I heard, after he was held, then hit out of bounds, but the call offset because one of those random offensive holding calls that comes out of nowhere (stupid that 2 calls can offset one, but you can only choose one penalty which doesn't make sense).
They said "its just unimaginable to see these kinds of numbers for an NFL team. Umm...what about all the black quarterbacks that put up these kinds of numbers. It doesn't help that Eddie Lacy has been non existent, who was supposed to be one of the only recent Alabama backs that wasn't a bust, but he has been average at best, with 2 or 3 good games, he hasn't been consistent at all, less than half of his games he has averaged 4 or more ypc, this is going to be his 4th game with 3 ypc or less.
They keep mentioning Scott Tolzien who can throw better deeper, why havent the put him in? Put in Kuhn and more tight ends to chip the rushers coming to the qb, give him some time. This should have been done in the 2nd half at least.
Mike McCarthy is an idiot, that's why. Maybe it's just me but he always seems to lose when games are close at halftime. Maybe he's really bad at adjustments.
Haha, you got that right.I'm particularly looking forward to the Steelers Ravens game, should be a high scoring affair with both teams utilizing their talent stacked rosters.
