Since we're quoting Cheesehead TV...

...I thought I'd pass on the thoughts of Zach Kruse, another solid and well-respected contributor:
– For the second straight week, the Packers defense made big stops in the fourth quarter. While Flynn and the offense is receiving credit for the comeback, the defense played its best football late in regulation and gave the Packers a chance to rally. However, that fact was lost when the Vikings bullied their way down the field when all the defense needed was one stop to win the game in overtime. Such is life in a results-based business.
– I won’t knock Mike McCarthy for two decisions he is taking some heat for now. Starting Scott Tolzien was an easy choice based on his previous two performances, even with the five picks included. He made big time throws but just needed to clean up the inexperience-based mistakes. Instead of piling on for starting Tolzien, credit McCarthy for acting swiftly in bringing in Flynn when Tolzien wasn’t getting it done. The second decision under fire was the one to go for two down 16 in the fourth quarter. In theory, the Packers could have won the game by one had McCarthy kicked the extra point. But considering how the game was developing, did it really seem likely that the Packers were going to score three times in the fourth quarter? At the time, going for two gave Green Bay the best chance to get back into the game.
– Greg Jennings caught three passes on six targets for 38 yards in his two games against the Packers this season. He was booed loudly following each of his catches Sunday.
– There’s little doubt in my mind that the Packers would be 9-2 and in contention for home field advantage in the NFC without Rodgers’ injury. Hate playing the “what if” game, but that reality stings given the current situation. The good news? Nine wins and one tie might actually win this division.
– The Packers are still right in the thick of the division title race, thanks in large part to the inability of neither the Lions nor Bears to take advantage of a Rodgers-less NFC North. Who knows if Rodgers will be back Thursday, but a big part of the division will be decided when the Packers take on the Lions for some holiday fun in four day’s time.

DUCK SEEMS TO AGREE WITH ZACK KRUSE

THROTTLEPLATE SAYS,Duck,this guy is wrong,the dude admits tolz needed to clean up the inexperience,well this is no time to gain that experience when we need a win and he admits to the 5 picks which are atrocious.Then he says fatty acted swiftly?bullshit,fatty waited till after the start of the 3rd quarter.Flynn came in and was able to run the no huddle offense,tolz not.

So you would have started Flynn? Really? Easy to say now after the fact but I sure didn't notice anyone pounding on the table last week that Flynn should have started.

as a fan i have to trust that fatty and the coaches no whom is best to play qb.You would think that they had to have seen more in flynn than tolzien such as flynns ability to run the no huddle offense and his past experience with the team.In my opinion they should have put flynn in during the 2nd qtr,not wait till 8 minutes left in the 3rd.What was the adjustment fatty made during halftime?he still came out with tolz and failed.

Exactly. If you make the right call when the call needs to be made--only THAT buys you the privilege of flapping your gums when the foreseeable fuck-up becomes a reality...duck wrote:So you would have started Flynn?

I will say this--that scramble that Tolzien made with the spin-move into the end-zone was a real thing of beauty. Flynn couldn't have made that move in his dreams while grasping his tool with the kung fu grip...
