Good thing the Packers didn't need Lynch!

[nomorebuycks]

Nah, you don't want a running back that can break tackles and make one of the greatest TD runs in NFL playoff history.  Thanks for nothing, Ted Thompson.

You must hate life.  Subjecting all of us to your rants, whines, crys, and whimpers.

Hilarious.  Congratulations, it was a great run no doubt about that.  But almost every starting running back has one of those in his career.  His was on a bigger stage than most get on theirs.

Thanks for nothing?  So when you have 9 opening day roster starters placed on the IR list and you STILL manage to go 10-6 and make the playoffs I suppose your roster must be paper thin and just awful, right?  The man picks people up out of nowhere that nobody has ever heard of and they go and have 11 tackle, 2 sack games in the biggest games of the year.  I guess that's nothing to be thankful for...man if we could just have Al Davis or Jerry Jones!

Lynch has been horribly unproductive this year. One good run doesn't change that.

If you cant see how good of a job TT did with this roster, you dont understand football.

I'll be interested to see what you have to say tomorrow when Jackson averages 1yd per carry and repeatedly falls down when someone breathes too hard on him.

BTW, GB will lose due to the horrendous running game (no surprise), the inability to stop Vick (who has owned the Pack during his career), and McCarthy's idiotic comments this week about how great GB is and how they will play anyone, anywhere.  Saying that when you have a home game is stupid.  Saying it when you are going into a hornet's nest in Philly is suicidal.

I will gladly take your money Mr. Buycks.  PM me.

Feel free to worship at the feet of TT and to celebrate another first round playoff disappointment.  Lynch showed more ability on that TD run than all the GB running backs combined.  Seattle probably goes on to lose the game without that huge play from Lynch.  That run alone made the trade worthwhile for the Seahawks.

Let's see how far the Brandon Jackson's of the world (or any of the other RB duds) take the Pack.

[GOMU1104]

Funny thing...Brandon Jackson was better than Lynch in pretty much every statistical category this year.

Well, then enjoy his 1yd slogs tomorrow.  I doubt he'll break a single tackle all day much less 5 or so on one TD run like Lynch.

I seem to remember the Packers going into Philly earlier this year and winning.

[GGGG]

Do you honestly think that if the Packers had Lynch this year, that they would be any better off?  Especially considering they would have had to trade AJ Hawk to get him?  (AJ had a pretty good second half...)

I seem to remember Vick destroying the Packers when he came into the game.  He starts and the Packers lose.

Yes, and especially come playoff time when the running game is extra important.  Tomlinson made a difference for the Jets tonight, as well.  GB doesn't have a single running back good enough to excel in the playoffs, imo.  That inability to run the football will come back to bite them.

And AJ Hawk is just another guy.  You can count on one hand (and have fingers left over) the amount of big plays he's made in his career with GB.

The Vick they will see tomorrow is not the same guy they saw week one.  He has been beat to shreds this season, and it is showing. That being said, man does he have a cannon.  Semingly effortless 50 yard throws, still amazing to watch.

[IAmMarquette]

I seem to remember the Packers game-planning for Kevin Kolb, too. Give Capers a week to prepare. I'm not worried.

[Moonboots]

Truth.

Feel however you want about McCarthy, but he, maybe more than anyone else, has the right to say the Packers will play "anywhere, with anyone."

I did some research for a blog this past week, and found that the 2010 Packers are the only team since the merger in 1970 to have not been down by more than 7 at ANY point during the season.  A handful of teams did it before that. But it's been that long. Obviously, only 10 of those 16 are wins, but given the in-season roster turnover that's an accomplishment in itself.

To say that because AJ hasn't made that many big plays in his career as a Packer he is expendable is pretty short sighted.  Buzz was recently quoted on Wes Matthews saying that while Wes was not always the best player out on the court, he never gave you a reason to take him off the court.  I'd rather have a team of entirely guys that simply do what they do day in day out over having a bunch of guys that make one ESPN top 10 play for every handful of missed plays

Hank Aaron looks pretty good running today.

If no more buycks is wrong -as he is so far. Jackson doesnt have a lot of yards, but a great TD grab, can NoMoreBuycks be banned? I mean he is fucking retarded.

[Markusquette]

Now I can safely say how dumb nomorebuycks is.  Starks was huge.

You're right. 20+ carries for 123 yards sucks.

EDIT: Don't forget he set a rookie post-season record tonight as well

Thompson stole Starks in the 7th round. Before an injury is senior year, he was a projected 1st rounder. Right now, it looks like he found the back of the future (or at least a solid contributor besides Grant) for next to nothing and didn't have to trade anything away in the process. Sounds like exactly what you'd expect a savvy GM to do.
