Ravishing Rick Rude would be proud of this Clay Matthews sack dance.

Watching the Packers this season can be very frustrating. You have shoddy pass blocking, dropped passes, a horrible kicker, failure to put teams away, shaky run defense, all kinds of injuries, odd playcalling and Fail Mary.

Yet here the Packers are, NFC North champs for the second season in a row.

It really is amazing what Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers have been able to do with this team. They’ve adjusted the offense once it became apparent that they weren’t the juggernaut from a season ago. They’ve also overcome all kinds of injuries.

Yes, watching this team can be maddening. But this is a group we can be proud of.

On to the stock report:

Clay Matthews
The Packers best pass rusher returned, sacked Jay Cutler twice and made several other plays on run defense. In other words, it was a typical day for Matthews against the Bears. More importantly, Matthews busted out a Ravishing Rick Rude sack dance. Seriously, it was amazing. For those of you who don’t know who Ravishing Rick Rude is, click here. I hope Matthews wears pants with a picture of his own face on the rear-end next week. Turn the music off!  Read more...

What was your favorite head-scratching moment from Sunday’s Packers win over the Bears? Here are your options:

• Dropped passes from Randall Cobb and Jermichael Finley on the first drive. Tough catches, yes, but catchable.
• Aaron Rodgers getting sacked three times in the first half.
• Cobb dropping a touchdown pass in the second quarter. The pass was slightly off, but it was catchable.
• Mason Crosby whiffing on two more field goals.
• Mike McCarthy going for it on fourth and 6 in the third, then trying a field goal on fourth and 1 in the fourth. Why not go for it both times?
• McCarthy calling a throwback on a punt return up 11 points in the fourth that resulted in a turnover. Ugh.
• Rodgers launching a bomb to Greg Jennings on third and 3 late in the fourth when a simple first down would have been fine.
• Ryan Grant’s fumble.

That’s a lot of head-scratching moments to choose from. Oh, and by the way, the Packers won 21-13 and are NFC North champions.

The Packers have made me scratch my head a lot this season, but they keep winning. Through all the injuries, all the missed field goals, all the stalled drives and all the weird playcalling, the Packers are NFC North champions.

It’s amazing what this team has been able to accomplish so far.  Read more... (393 words + 1 image, estimated 1:34 mins reading time)
