Texans at Packers 12/7/2008

Here’s my thoughts….keep in mind i watched the first half and some of the 3rd
then listened on the radio the rest of the way..

1. Greg bedard’s jsonline pre-game post: “The parking lots are empty”


2. WHy is brandon jackson not getting the ball more? He had 2 catches
and no rushes yesterday…


3. Holding call on that kick return killed them, and that last one on
tony moll was horrendous (according to Larry and Wayne)


3a. That last drive by the packers and then the one by the Texans
could sum up their entire year…Explosive play to start, nice running
play…seems like their going to win…then a huge controversial
holding call, followed by a sack. Then allow houston to go right down
the field after the best punt we’ve had in like 2 years.

Including:
Long pass play to vonta leach with facemask and an injury that cost
the packers a timeout. And then our defense just lays down and that’s
it.


4. Wayne/Larry said repeatedly in the 2nd half that hawk and poppinga
were getting run over by steve slayton. ..”He’s running over the
packers like hes a 250 pound back!”


5. I love how our D can’t stop the quick run off tackle or the simple
flare pass to a running back


P.S. This was the Vonta Leach revenge game not the Mike Sherman revenge game

6. Loved the caller who tried to compare Hawk’s loss of tenacity and
explosiveness to Tony Mandarich. IE Hinting that he was on roids at
OSU. I’m hoping that its due to the fact that Hawks groin is slowing
him down.


7. Only one who showed on D was Bishop, hes a beast.

So if you look at avail 2009 free agents, compared to the last two
years, the packers have a lot of options for players. Question is,
will anyone want to play here? My hopes, they have to lockup
jennings…sign that punter from Oakland, go after Peppers or that
dude from AZ, haynesworth will not be a reality, ditch tausher (hes
seen better days), trade some draft picks and sign some legit O
lineman. No more building through the draft for next year.

Or maybe the crazy move would be to sign Ray Lewis?
