Trade Deadline Targets

[Heyjoe4]

So with today’s loss do we become “sellers” at the trade deadline to stockpile some draft picks?

I don’t think so. But I can’t see how the GB secondary would be worse without HHCD. He’s become “just a guy”.

 

[melvin dangerr]

Unless his name rhymes with Melvin Fester, that ball had zero reason to be brought out of the end zone. None. Has soon as I saw them kick it in the end zone I thought the Rams mad a mistake. Monty said, “hold my beer”

Why is it that the Packer can’t get a true K O returner we had one and can’t think of something that rhymes with Desmond Howard...

 

[RepStar15]

If we lost this game by the Rams making the stop on 4th down in under 2 minutes I would not feel this disgusted. I would feel we lost to the much better team. We did not get a chance to lose to the better team because we had one selfish player, make a stupid decision.

 

[melvin dangerr]

If this 1 bonehead play that made the Packers 3-3 had playoff effects than players should be cut and coaches dismissed..but nothing will change...I am waiting for his explanation interview if he comes out of hiding.

 

[PackerFanLV]

There was a reason they didn’t have a good game. Mostly be cause we contained Gurley for most of it and Alexander was everywhere.

Hey alexander was a beast today and the D did alot better with handling gurley then i would have thought. Damn near every 3 and long teams are pinning there ears back and coming for rodgers , rams was getting sacked in the first half then what Mcvay do? he adjusted and started creeping TE's in the flats and having gurley and receivers crossing. MM doesn't adjust to nothing and he has the best qb in the league. Im sick of MM stale same ole offense and awareness, what was up with that fake punt, you know when they get to certain field position you have to look for the fake punt, king was like 15 yards off. With a qb like arod you shouldn't have that many 3 and outs and dead drives, its getting old. What ever happened to keeping Defenses guessing?

 

[brandon2348]

It hurts because guys like Jaire Alexander beasted out. Its been since Woodson since we have had that type of corner play in a game. Even Clay Matthew's showed up today who I have been critical of. What a wasted effort.

Another special teams blunder. I made a post a few weeks back calling for ST coach Ron Zook"s head. I know Zook can only coach but at some point someone has to be held accountable. Unfortunately the position coach is held accountable except in Green Bay.

Ty Montgomery went to Stanford. Montgomery knows he won't out run anyone so the decision to bring the ball out is just mind blowing. Montgomery decision was fatal to this team. This game was here for the taking.

At this point Montgomery is just taking reps from Jones and Williams who in my opinion are much better backs. I thought Montgomery would turn out to be a good WR. I just don't know what role Montgomery plays.

If anyone is waiting for McCarthy to do anything you will be waiting a while.

Frustrated.

There is the issue. This organization doesn't hold anyone accountable. Hell, they don't even scapegoat.

 

[PackerFanLV]

Also what the hell kind of return was that? Ty wasnt even trying to return the kick he was looking for contact he ran right into the defender and tried to run him over and got his *** stripped. Why is he returning kicks? He slow

 

[sjb12681]

Yes, that was a bad play. He's made lots of good ones in similar situations this year. He's better at picking up the blitz than Jones. It's just a fact. Whether that's enough reason to keep him on the roster is another question.

If they need a blitz pickup, go back out and get a FB. We have 3 rbs, no FBs. I don't see how ty is an upgrade at any position at this time.

 

[HardRightEdge]

I will make the bold prediction that Montgomery will not be be cut.

 

[MadCat]

Can someone explain how we are awarded an automatic win if not for Monty's blunder?

 

[HardRightEdge]

Next week is a character week. They either come back and play twice as hard or this season will just about be a write-off.

They can't play twice as hard because they played their ***** off.

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

It isn't just one blunder, it's that he's pretty much contributed nothing to this offense this year.

I told people he was not a good pass blocker, and his stupid missed block that caused the Rodgers sack proved I was right.

He single-handedly holds the offense back when he is on the field, and his kick return blunder as far as I'm concerned was simply the nail in the coffin. Trade deadline is in two days, and if I was Gute I'd stick him on the trade block pronto.

 

[brandon2348]

They can't play twice as hard because they played their ***** off.

They really did. They gave the effort I have been looking for. I'll take that kind of play every week and roll with the results if they can duplicate that play.

I could see a potential re-match down the road back in LA.

Play calling had nothing to with the loss today.

The Rams had stalled drives too, so you sir have selective vision.

This loss is 100℅ dumpster Monty's fault.

You are right, there was not an automatic win if he kneels in the end-zone but the best chance of scoring was to let Rodgers take it at the 25 with 2 minutes and 1 time out. Montgomery took the risk on a low percentage play and it failed. Did a coach directly tell him "Don't bring it out" because if that's what happened then he should fear for his job. If a coach failed to do this then I think that coach should fear for his job. Personally, I would cut someone at this point just to send a message. The gazelles never run as fast as right after a lion culls one of the herd.

 

[melvin dangerr]

Bostick manned up for his major mistake Ty would not talk to reporters,if it is found out coach told him to take a knee bye Ty if a coach told him to run it out bye to both, but I would not get rid of a player here or a player there I would wait to the end of the season to clean out the house....

I agree, and have never understood MM's insistence on having him out on the field. But my point was that regardless of any of that, there was no guarantee we were going to win the game if he didn't fumble or run the kick out. Had we been ahead at that point and his fumble picked up for a go-ahead score, then yes. But pinning this loss solely on him when we were losing at the time is ridiculous. Personally, I was just as disgusted by the safety, which was the actual difference in the game, in both points and momentum.

Bro what game was you watching? So that Saftey that changed the whole momentum of the game was a good call? on the half yard line in a single back formation you run it with no lead blocker? Come on man. They punt on like the 40-50 yard line and you line the DB 15 yards off the wide out and in scouting report and game film you know their punter can throw the ball. Come on man!

 

[PackAttack12]

The Packers should cut Ty Montgomery immediately. I’m going to take a credible poster at their word that McCarthy essentially said the plan and communication was for there to not be a return out of the end zone.

IF that is the case, it should be announced tomorrow. It’s absolutely inexcusable for a player to be told one thing, and to do the exact opposite.

If this isn’t done, then McCarthy needs to be on the hot seat. You cannot let players, especially boarderline players like Montgomery, make a mockery of team strategy and get away with it.

This is why Bill Belichick has appeared in 8 Super Bowls since 2001. He has the balls to 1. Cut a player for unacceptable performance or insubordination and 2. Because of #1 strike the fear of God into his football team. He runs a FOOTBALL program.

This cannot go without consequence. You cannot allow a player to get away with making a decision that directly compromises your team an opportunity to win the football game.

 

[Forget Favre]

2:05. Aaron’s rodgers can have the ball at the 25, with essentially two timeouts. A 2 minute warning and timeout. You run the ball out of the endZone. For what reason exactly?

Cut him today.

I agree that he probably should have taken a knee.
But then something else could have happened.
A fumble somewhere else.
Stopped on a 4th down.
Interception and maybe a pick 6.
And you can't just blame it all on him.
If they would have thrown instead of a hand off in the end zone then there wouldn't have been the safety.
Or if our O and D was better and had kept us ahead with a higher score.
I disagree to lay it all on one player when others did or didn't do things either.

 

[PackAttack12]

Sorry. Pulled a rookie mistake and didn’t see the sticky. Please merge.

It's Aaron Rodgers. We were going to win if Montgomery takes a knee.

 

[Guacamole]

MM needs to be on the hot seat? He's been on the hot seat for quite some time. I don't think even Cleveland would want him..

 

[BrokenArrow]

I would hope Zook told him not to take that out but maybe he didn’t. Still a terrible decision regardless. Obviously didn’t know the game situation

Zook shouldn't have had to. A high school kid should have known better. Rodgers can into FG range in 4 down territory every time. Waive him now.
