The Face

It was really bugging me that we could hear Clay Matthews' voice in the video below (check it out if you're a gd fool and haven't seen it yet) but that we couldn't see his face. So, here's his picture to look at while listening.

Clay Matthews and Jay Cutler discuss the game

Psycho Defense Ready to Knock Cutler into State of 'Inception' Dreams

Bears quarterback admits to "losing sleep" in anticipation of Monday night's game against the Packers and the Psycho Defense.

Post your thoughts of the upcoming game in the comments thread. Clearly I'm expecting Cutler to spend the rest of his life in a state of dream-like confusion.

Wk 2

Buffalo is not a very good football team, The Packers are a good football team. What do good football teams do to bad ones? Dongwhip them. Cullen Jenkins knows what I am talking about.



The front seven really dominated the game. Club Jenkins, Raji, Hawk, Chillar, Clay III all played pretty damn good. Even Wynn showed some nice flashes in the second half. They swarmed as a unit and made the secondarys job very easy.

Clay Mathews is just on another level, his preformance has not only dominated the two games so far, but has caused 6 sacks, two quaterback changes, and untold hours of unsettled sleep for opposing quarterbacks. Here is a sample of Trent's dreams on Sunday night.




On O the Packers had a mediocre first half. Rodgers missed a few throws and didn't check down his options very well. In the second half he played like his normal Supermodel plowing self. JerSexel Finley was his usual swaggerswarming self. The recievers played well and if Rogers had his typical accuracy in the first half, Jones would have had a huge game. That said Ryan Grant was missed. Brandon Jackson looked like he was hesitating at the hole and not making his zone read/cut fast enough. Kuhn looked like a 250lb fullback running the ball. I am not sure exactly why they split carries. I watched game again, Kuhn probally had 4 runs where an NFL running back would have gained a lot more yards. I just don't understand the equal carries split between the two. Kuhn is a good football player but is not a good NFL running back. Hopefully the answer was on the field yesterday.




Discuss the Buffalo game, possible beast mode trades, and the big division matchup on Monday in Chicago.

Buffalo

Hello Gang, I belive you guys have covered the Packers win over the eagles well enough, so I took the liberty, to create an artist's rendering of what the Packer's Practice/The Packer's Game plan is going to be like for this week. Enjoy

Yikes.

Serious Question, Part 2

What would you rather see running at you at full speed - Clay Matthews or a paternity suit? Matthews' loins are responsible for countless blond-haired toddlers in the southern California area, while you're probably getting suckered into paying for one or more of them.

Serious Question

Yesterday we discussed Clay Matthews and what you'd rather see coming at you at full speed. We decided a full-sized train would be worse than Matthews, but a smaller train (like the one at the zoo) would be far less threatening than Matthews. Similarly, a truck (regardless of size) would be less fearsome than Matthews.

I figured we could discuss other options to determine precisely how terrifying Matthews is. Let's start with the obvious - the Predator. Who would you rather see coming at you at full speed?

Packers Have Ability to End, Create Life

It's really fun to watch a team with elite players, and the Packers have at least 4 of them. Clay Matthews is a murderer. Plain and simple. And Jermichael Finley, well, the guy is a life breathing god who spared Kevin Kolb's heartless, lifeless body.

I refuse to get down about the Packers second half performance. The Eagles were a team Football Outsiders picked to win over 9 games this year and win the NFC East. The Packers went on the road and handled business. It's a huge win for the Packers, whose schedule does not afford them any margin of error. They must win games like this against good opponents on the road. Yes, the Packers struggled against Michael Vick and let a team back into a game that was seemingly out of reach. But they won. Michael Vick is a gimmick quarterback, and the Packers don't play anyone else like him the rest of the year. So I'm not going to worry about the team collapsing a pocket, being in good position and ultimately giving up big plays because of a superbly elusive QB.

And there were plenty of bright spots to cover a pretty bad game from Aaron Rodgers. Number one bright spot for sure was the special teams play. Maligned throughout last year and all of the preseason, the special teams may have ultimately been the difference in the game (besides, of course, Clay Matthews's soul crushing physicality). Mason Crosby was perfect, the kickoff returns led to 3 straight Packer possessions in great field position, and the Packers gave up nothing close to a big play on special teams. If I were Timmy VV on the Packers Blitz (and believe me I wish I were), I'd give the special teams a grade of A+. I'm also extremely happy with the team's discipline and attention to detail - taking only 2 penalties in Week 1 of the season. This again from a team riddled with penalty problems in previous seasons.

All in all, a great start to the season. They could have played a much better game on offense and were stung by a scrambling college quarterback, but they got a huge win to start the season.

* My apologies on the pictures. They were the best I could do with limited time and resources.
