JC1958cool – First of all, you are welcome to comment – that’s what this blog is about. If you choose to get personal by calling people morons, that’s your choice, I find it unnecessary, but whatever. Let me give you some moronic points:

1. Silly me, I forgot that Special Teams is even an apsect of a football game. I really should go back and change my prediction. If you are a football fan- and I’m assuming you know something, I guess I shouldn’t, you would know that a football game is comprised of three “teams” -Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. If you want to ignore Special Teams or minimize their importance – go ahead – please go ahead.

2. Let us discuss your viewpoint of penalties – because quite frankly, it is silly. Penalties demonstrate 3 things: discipline (or lack thereof), being beat, or being afraid. So, what you are basically saying is that the Packers lost the game to the Bears because they lacked discipline, were fearful, and were beat. I’ll elaborate – false starts. False starts result from lack of discipline and fear. Offensive lineman often leave early because they are trying to get an extra step advantage because of fear of being beat. Wonder if that happened at all with the Packers? They were afraid of the Bears Defensive Line and as a result were moving before the ball – FEAR. Holding penalties – holding penalties result from getting BEAT. When an offensive lineman, TE, or back hold – it is often from being BEAT. If they didn’t hold – they’d likely give up a sack and who knows – it may even result in a turnover. Pass Interference – often a result again of being BEAT. When corners or safeties get pass interference calls or holding calls – it is often because they know they are out of posiiton, going to get beat, or poorly time pass break-ups. They are being BEAT.

So your argument, as well as other people’s argument, about losing because of penalties is flat out silly. Penalties are a reflection of being beat and playing poorly. Their 18 penalties just demonstrate how badly they were being beat, how fearful they were of being beat, and how undiscplined they played.

Moronically yours,

Bart
