Uh Oh! A QB finally finds the Packers weakest link..
Here are some quick thoughts on yesterday’s Steelers / Packers game.
- Late hits / hits to the head on Rodgers…where are the flags?
- Too many drops by the WR’s in the first half (Driver, Jones, Lee)
- Leaving worst player on Defense in single coverage on final play of the game is inexcusable (Bell)
- This could’ve easily been a blowout, Steelers up 21-14 driving for TD in third quarter…Packer’s hold them to FG. Packers were facing desparate, super bowl champion on 10 days rest.
- Steelers had a definite game plan on offense that other teams have yet to do since the Al Harris injury….Pick on Packer’s worst defenders in pass. 3rd and 4th corners (Bush/Bell), simple crossing routes to TE with AJ Hawk covering.
- 2nd to last play with 13 seconds left, Cullen Jenkins could have had game ending sack but somehow he sort of just bounced off of Roth.
- Holding penatly on Packers with 35 seconds left stopped clock and nullified sack.
- Maybe instead of scoring a TD James Jones should have stepped out of bounds at the 1? This would have given Green Bay the ball at the Steelers 1 yard line, down by 2 with 2 minutes left.
- Worst instant replay reviews of the season: Matthews sack/strip and long pass to Holmes in 3rd quarter. The first play would have given Green Bay the ball on the Steelers 20 with the game tied 7-7.
- Crosby is done mentally. All his kicks go wide right. Instead of missing a 32 yard field goal, what if the Packers go for it on 4th and 2?
- Tonight’s Giants at Redskins game is huge for Green Bay. Giants loss plus Green Bay win over Seattle next week clinch’s playoff spot.
Week 15 Winners
- Ben Rothlisburger (spelling) – Best game by a QB this year
- Rodgers – Again, played great with no mistakes
- Clay Matthews – Other than C Jenkins was one of the only defenders making plays
- Steve Smith – He owns the Vikings
Week 15 Losers
- Mason Crosby – What happened to you? I don’t get it.
- Jarret Bush, Josh Bell – Finally the Packers depth at cornerback was exposed
- Favre / Chilli – They fell flat and now they have to face an angry Bears team at Soldier Field on Monday night.
