Quarterbacks. 8 Dan Orlovsky. 14 Jake Rudock. ...heh.

As in the same Dan Orlovsky who ran out of the end zone for a safety?

Hard to believe the Lions still give him a job after that play.

They play NY, DAL, and GB.

Oh, because it looks like you mentioned them in the prior post of yours that I quoted.

Ask AD if he can borrow some of his ointment.

Is Aaron Rodgers injury prone?

Aaron Rodgers has missed one game due to injury in his career, outside his injury (Collarbone) in 2013, which kept him out 7 games. That is impressive especially considering his O line used to be worse then your current O line. (For more then one year I might add)

Is AD injury prone? There is much more of an argument there. (Just to let you know if you didnt pick up on it, I dont think AD is injury prone at all, that is the point.)

It's always nice to win, but my God, what an uninspiring win that was.

I have just become resolved to the fact that this team is going to force the run game. There is simply no other explanation.

Also, with yet another game without a catch, Laquon Treadwell has reached Jonathan Baldwin-level bad. It is utterly disappointing to not only be struggling offensively, but also to have ZERO contribution from your first round pick.

He got hurt within the first few plays of the game and was out for the remainder. So I'm not sure how he's suppose to get a catch if he's hurt

Well, after taking the one loss Cowboys to the brink, we made a 2 win team look decent. Is that parity or did we play to the level of the opponent in each case?

Some positives:

1) we had a number of explosive plays (Rudy's big catch, Thielen's sideline grabber, Diggs' gorgeous diving catch over the middle); it was nice to see Bradford get some time for these deeper routes to develop. In pass pro, our OL looked OK yesterday.

2) (Almost) perfect performance from our kicker; if it hadn't been for a false start penalty on the extra point attempt, Forbath would have been perfect. It was important that he made all of those FGs early on. A miss on any of those would have deflated morale.

3) The D got stout in the 4th quarter when they really had to close out the game.

Some negatives:

1) Run game (under 100 yards once again); no run blocking at all. Most of our yards seem to come only when the D is expecting pass.

2) Goal line O; we can't get 6 inches of push from our OL. Asiata ran with heart but forgot to use his brain and exposed the ball unnecessarily on the second TD effort. On the first, he was close enough to justify the attempt. It would be nice to get AD back for these scenarios, but I'm afraid he won't look too much better with this shoddy OL.

3) Rhodes lost his composure. He got beat by Marquis Lee a couple of times and his competitiveness got the better of him.

I don't think that Bridgewater could have made the throw to Rudolph.....the one where he (SB) was scrambling and kinda threw over some linemen to hit Rudy on the right side of the field (his right) for a big gain. What do you guys think? Thielen again comes up big....I love that guy....except when he fumbles punts

In general, I think Sam is more accurate. On the other hand, Teddy (pre-injury, at least) had better pocket presence, so he wouldn't have had to throw it off one foot as Sam did!

I can imagine Teddy completing that pass. I don't see why not. Sam is more accurate down the field though.

TB had more balls tipped or knocked down than SB (it seems...could be wrong). I could see that throw being knocked down if Ted tried that same throw. Who knows. Or maybe he runs and doesn't throw.
