The Packers all-black secondary gets burned again by another long TD. I don't feel bad about any of this. The way they have screwed some white WRs, and their complete refusal to have any white TEs or secondary players or give a white RB a chance has turned me off this team. I wish Jordy all the success, but that's about it.

Cousins may be the best long passer in the league. He can really throw the bomb. The Packers have some secondary injuries but their defense isn't that good anyway.

Bernard tore his ACL. Hopefully Burkhead gets a shot.

Looks like A. J. Green is done for the year too. Bengals season is over as far as making the playoffs. Best scenario for the rest of the season: Burkhead and Erickson get a lot of playing time, and Marvin Lewis is finally fired at the end of the season. I can dream anyway.

Don't forget the NFL rule of when a white RB gets to carry the ball. After the 3 "real" RBs ahead of him in the depth chart get hurt, the team goes shopping. They may pick up someone from the scrap heap of released RBs by other teams, a player from a practice squad somewhere, or some bum selling phones at the mall. After every conceivable option has been tried and exhausted and no other choice is left, the white RB may finally get his chance.

The white RB will then proceed to do well and produce, only to go back to the bottom of the depth chart as soon as the real affletes are ready to go again.

Just another little tidbit about the Dolphins win today. Where do you think they have been today with Turner, Thomas and Douglas (sumos) playing the left side of the line instead of Young, Urbik and Steen (white) A big part of the turn-around in culture was when these 3 sumos were cut and it paid dividend on the field with a W!

Watched part of the GB game "Westworld" far more interesting for me but I watched them give Rip the FB the ball for a carry and he gains some ground and then that was it back to the usual hoping for a 4 second window so someone would get open on a long crossing play. Anyway I have been a supporter of McCarthy but if he doesn't realize that he needs a ground game and that the partial answer is a FB who can move the pile then this year is complete sub-mediocre toast. No expert here but why they don't play zone D for their DBs is beyond me they can't play with their backs to the ball at all.

I've tallied a receiving yardage update through 10 games. Realistically, I’d say that only Olsen and Nelson are "locks" for a 1,000-yard season, however, if Gronkowski remains healthy for the final 6 games, he could easily eclipse the mark. Beasley, Kelce, Edelman, Witten, and Thielen all have an outside chance, but they’d probably need a huge receiving game (150+ yards) mixed into one of the final contests. It's not too bad, considering we lost Decker and Woodhead to IR, Hogan/Edelman/Amendola were all hampered by Brady's 4-game suspension, Nelson is coming off a terrible ACL injury, Abbrederis was cut, Janis is being screwed, and Hartline and Cooper are free agents...

Greg Olsen – 745 yards. He’ll need to average 42 yards per game in the remaining 6 games.

Jordy Nelson – 663 yards. He’ll need to average 56 yards per game in the remaining 6 games.

Cole Beasley – 591 yards. He’ll need to average 68 yards per game in the remaining 6 games.

Travis Kelce – 574 yards. He’ll need to average 71 yards per game in the remaining 6 games.

Rob Gronkowski – 540 yards. He’ll need to average 76 yards per game in the remaining 6 games.

Julian Edelman – 534 yards. He’ll need to average 78 yards per game in the remaining 6 games.

Jason Witten – 520 yards. He’ll need to average 80 yards per game in the remaining 6 games.

Adam Thielen – 518 yards. He’ll need to average 81 yards per game in the remaining 6 games.

Like others here, I'm excited about Burkhead finally getting a chance to shine with Bernard's ACL tear. I know that Bernard was injured at the tail end of the game. Does anyone know when Burkhead had his 14-yard reception? Either way, I don't think it's possible for the Bengals to screw Rex, as he's the only RB besides Hill on the roster. If Burkhead shines, I'll be rooting for the Bengals to somehow right the ship.

Poor Pack. Third game in a row I quit watching because it was too painful. Wheels coming off, as they say.
There was so much promise after their draft picks and going into the training camps. I envisioned four Whites consistently starting on defense, including Dean Lowry, as well as a possibility of sometimes having Nelson, Abbrederis and Janis on the field at the same time, or at least two or those three. Green Bay seems afraid to reach their potential because doing so would require them to actually showcase their White talent, which would stand out in contrast to the rest of the league, sans New England. I'm hoping they will pick up a White Safety like Steelhammer, Gerry or Musso, but they probably won't and instead go down the path of drafting a coal-black defensive backfield instead.

I believe Burkheads reception was close to the end of the game, it got them into position for Dalton's hail mary attempt. On the Dolphins situation it was amazing watching a Dolphins O-line as white as the Pats, for a little while at least, until the athletes are back from injury I guess.

The Pack are a team with an identity disorder. They draft all these good white players that they know could really be something and push the team to the next level. Then when the chance comes they panic and say "oh shi#, if we actually play all these white guys at these caste positions people will say we are racist, like when we won the Super Bowl and that evil racist website said The Whitest Team Wins The Super Bowl." And obviously they would rather completely fall apart and have a season like this one than be accused of being RACIST.

The Packers deserve credit for starting Martinez as a rookie, and Ryan began starting last year as a rookie. Fackler should start eventually but has a tough road right now with Clay Matthews and Nick Perry ahead of him at OLB. I haven't heard much about Dean Lowry's development.

But Abbrederis was screwed (partly his fault though for being injured so much), and Janis is just too much like a young Jordy to allow to succeed.

The whole team just seems really stale right now. Last night was another one of those games where Rodgers refused to look Jordy's way; over 300 yards passing but just one catch by Nelson until the black QB backup came in at garbage time. What's up with that crap?

But if McCarthy goes, what comes after him is almost certain to be worse. Same with Ted Thompson.

A team that's like the Packers but much worse is the Bengals, who have a fair amount of White talent on their team at non-White positions but consign it almost exclusively to special teams.

Raiders are the blackest team in the league, coincidentally they also lead league with average of 10 penalties a game.
