Green Bay Packers are incredible right now lol

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

My anger with this team grows by the f***ing week.

And we can't even blow it up because of all that guaranteed money to the selfish prick under center.

Why did McLauren not get flagged for taking his helmet off? The fact that they didn’t flag him let a go ahead score happen.

Because he took it off after Washington called timeout to stop the clock.

[Push R Truth]

This Packer Team isn't likeable. Rodgers bitching to the refs every play and tossing teammates under the bus. Defenders getting ejected for fighting with opposing coaches. A head coach that can't figure out who shit in his own diaper. Commentators that have spent decades sucking up to the Packers now suddenly have to start pointing out the obvious negatives and the fragile ego of the spoiled Packers melts like a snowflake in the sun.

It was gonna happen sooner or later, they've drafted extremely poorly. They put all their eggs into the D basket and the D isn't that good while you're HOF QB is aging and can't carry a bunch of shit stains to the playoffs anymore.

He still repeatedly yelled in several defenders’ faces about Indy being his town (yes, I realize he grew up there but it’s still taunting).

Can we not ask for taunting penalties? This has been a year full of terrible taunting calls that affected the outcomes of games...

If anything there should be less taunting than what is called.

I don’t care if they call them more or less. I’m tired of inconsistent penalties being called. I’ve watched 8 Colts games this season and the only consistent thing I’ve seen is that the Colts will get calls against them (and being honest, it’s not like they were phantom calls) but their opponents do the same and rarely get whistled for them.

The Colts offensive line gets holding penalties called against them (and again, they were legit calls) but I’ve seen Tyquan Lewis get tackled by more than one OT that he blew up while Winkin and Blinkin look the other way. Alec Pierce gets mauled on half of his routs and often doesn’t get the calls because he’s bigger and stronger than the DBs trying to deal with him. Last week Hines literally got spun around 180 degrees by getting tackled by his face mask with no penalty called.

Honestly, I’m beginning to wonder if the league is trying to force the Colts to tank and actually draft a QB since they won’t tank on their own (and no, starting Ehlinger isn’t an attempt to tank, believe it or not). That’s not an excuse for them losing as they have been shitting the bed quite nicely on their own. It’s just an additional source of frustration.

He didn't direct to anyone. He was walking straight while talking

[Rolent Tex]

Browns and Bengals out here playing like it’s a Thursday night game.

[XIII]

Bengals are awful

[Cyno]

Manningcast is the only reason I'm still watching this awful game lmao.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

I knew Jamarr being out would mess with the Bengals offense but holy shit

That new offensive line is getting carved up worse than the old one...

[Ben Wyatt]

I see last Night's game went as a Thursday Night game for Halloween

I have legit worries that Burrow is going to be Andrew Luck-ed in a couple of years.  They tried to address the line (unlike Indy) but the results haven't been awesome.

It's worse than you think. It's not that Ryan Grigson, the GM for the Colts during most of Luck's career, did not try to fix the O-line. The issue is that HE TRIED TO FIX IT IN MORE OR LESS THE SAME WAY THE BENGALS HAVE. Grigson spent a lot of effort to use veterans with only the occasional draft pick and never a high investment until Irsay told him he was on his last legs (though, to be fair he did use a 2nd on Mewhort only to have injuries derail his career).

Here's the additions to the O-line by Grigson through the years:

2012

Draft picks:
None

Free agents:
G Mike McGlynn
C AQ Shipley
C Samson Satele
LS Matt Overton


2013

Draft picks:
G Hugh Thornton (3rd rd)
C Khaled Holmes (4th rd)

Free agents:
T Gosder Cherilus
T/G Joe Reitz (signed off of Dolphins' PS)
T Xavier Nixon (signed off of Racialslurs' PS)

2014

Draft picks:
T/G Jack Mewhort (2nd rd)
T Ulrick John (7th rd)

Free agents:
T Jack Breckner (from CFL)
C Jonotthan Harrison (UDA)

2015

Draft picks:
G/T Denzelle Good (7th rd - compensatory pick)

Free agents:
G Todd Herremans

2016

Draft picks:
C Ryan Kelly (1st rd)
T Le'Raven Clark (3rd rd)
G/T Joe Haeg (5th rd)
C Austin Blythe (7th rd)

Free Agents:
G Jeremy Vujnovich (from Packers' PS)

Of the lot, only a handful were even serviceable options. Joe Reitz, after some time, developed into a versatile backup and short term starter. Mewhort was a decent pick but injuries messed that up. Haeg is still around and has a ring from his stint starting for the Bucs. Blythe has started more often than not in his career (and is the current starter for the Seahawks). Kelly has been to the Pro Bowl. Clark, Good, and Harrison all hung around for years after they left the Colts, sometimes even getting starts (more for Harrison and Good than Clark, however).
