YoloinOhio Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Oh and the GB WRs who were skeered of being hit @AdamSchefter: Packers had 7 drops Sunday by 7 different receivers after entering the game with just 13 drops this season.
Kelly the Dog Posted December 14, 2014 Posted December 14, 2014 Oh and the GB WRs who were skeered of being hit @AdamSchefter: Packers had 7 drops Sunday by 7 different receivers after entering the game with just 13 drops this season. The Jordy one was huge. Half of them meant nothing and we not going to be any yardage or change the drive.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Game Balls: Green Bay At Buffalo Bills reporter Mike Rodak's game ball goes to safety Bacarri Rambo, who intercepted Aaron Rodgers twice in the second half. Packers reporter Rob Demovsky's game ball goes to running back Eddie Lacy, who had 15 carries for 97 yards.
dave mcbride Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I don't want to hear his detractors say anything negative about this guy again. He's an excellent CB. Yes - he's really good and playing well right now.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Not a single mention of Marcus Thigpen? I mentioned him in the OP of the thread.
CardinalScotts Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Unfortunately, Marrone probably saved his job with this win. what the hell do you want out of a coach? game balls to Mario, Dan Carpenter, Rambo and if you get a chance to watch the game again..or even in the high lites check out Kyle Williams held on virtually every play
Kirby Jackson Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 There are so many to go around after this game. 1 guy that should be mentioned that hasn't yet been is Ron Brooks. He was great yesterday. He is s phenomenal open field tackler and a good cover guy as well. He may very well be the most underrated player on that team.
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Damn man, what does Marone have to do to be appreciated here. This team has overachieved this year with him at the helm. Has hemade mistakes, yes on that, but he's done alot of good This! Marcus Easley.
racecitybills Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Marcus Easley has become the best special teams player we have had since Mark Pike. Had two huge plays - making a stop and downing the ball deep- very under-appreciated but this guy is doing a terrific job-
thebandit27 Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Lots of ST love going around, so I'll reiterate one of my game balls from earlier in this thread: Danny Crossman. Nice to have guys like Dixon and Graham around for sure; let's also recognize the job he's done getting great ST output from Brooks, Easley, Robey, Rambo, etc.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 I am going to add that a game ball should go to the RB's-- all three of them collectively. All three guys had crazy plays, where they turned like 5-yard losses into big gains through individual effort. Freddy grinding out yards on that last drive was classic Freddy too.

Don't forget Dixon fighting to recover his fumble.
26CornerBlitz Posted December 15, 2014 Author Posted December 15, 2014 Don't forget Dixon fighting to recover his fumble. Talk about a fortuitous bounce. That is one lucky Boobie!
The Frankish Reich Posted December 15, 2014 Posted December 15, 2014 Not game balls, but attaboys to some players who I thought (just watching the network feed) did a nice job yesterday: 1. Lee Smith. Our favorite whipping boy. From what I saw, he did his job as a blocking TE, and did it well. 2. Easley and some of the other special teams grinders. Again, a lot of us question roster moves, and the common response is "but he's a valuable special teams player." And we saw that value yesterday. Easley, Hogan (before he was in the regular receiver mix), Dixon, Brooks -- all these guys are good to great special teamers, and it makes a difference. 3. The inside O line. I actually saw some holes up the middle yesterday. No, the Pack defense is not the Bills defense, or even the Broncos defense. But they opened some holes and Fred found them. Another beleaguered unit that turned in a good performance. Now, as for what's happened to Cordy Glenn, that's another story. 4. Schwartz and the defensive line rotation guys -- we saw it again. They were fresh. The Packers O line was beat up and was not. Funny, when Schwartz was with the Lions I thought of him as an old Raiders style coach -- undisciplined, too aggressive, dumb penalties (Suh etc.). What I've seen here is he has his plan, he doesn't overreact (as in yesterday after the Packers scored their TD by running it inside for big gains -- some D coordinators would've stacked the box right away and Rodgers would've killed them on the next drive), he just makes sound adjustments and trusts his players.
