ko12010 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The Milwaukee paper said Gilmore was one of the 2-3 best cornerbacks the Pack has faced the whole year. Nice the other teams reporters see that. When he's allowed to be physical, ie. real football, Gilmore definitely is. Rodgers is just so used to this brand of p*ssy two hand touch garbage where he can rack up 50 points without breaking a sweat because no one is allowed to touch his receivers. QB's like Manning, Rodgers, Brady, and Brees are obviously awesome, but the rules changes have made it a joke with how jacked up their stats are. If they had played in the era of real football they might not be quite the gods they think they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSOL Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I think what Aaron means by these comments is that a very tough defense held his prolific offense to only 13 points. Id be pretty upset too, cant blame him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I just want to see a fair game. The reason the Bills won was the defense played a great game against a great team. Last week the officials were horrible. I do believe had they called a fair game Manning would have managed a victory anyway. It's better when victories are earned.

boyst Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 This is how QB's describe premier D's. They always question the hits and calls because the premier D's always play well in the gray area of the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The Bills DBs did get away with a lot in that game that should have been called, and have been in other games. But what A. Rogers should be pissed about much more were the blatant drops by his receivers, particularly the sure TD right in his hands, and how out of sync he was with the receivers early in the game. The Pack had plenty of opportunities to win that game, and they blew it. Just that simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah John Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 It's bothered me all year, not just with the Bills games, that there's so much emphasis on illegal contact. I think the league went overboard on emphasizing those rules, probably because elite passing games are good box office, and I hope they tone that back down in the future. What I saw yesterday was what was normal a couple of years ago for how DBs play, and it made for a better game. When a QB and receiver can practice timing and distances and know they will never be disrupted, that's not real tackle football. A DB should be allowed to influence the route, which forces the QB and receiver to make instant adjustments. A really different skill set, and one that requires more athletic ability and less ballet.

Lv-Bills Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I love it. That's code for the Bills db's were physical and beat the piss out of us. It's also code for the referees didn't make the Bills get less physical. Summation = The Bills physically manhandled us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCinBuffalo Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Pfft. Rodgers best option, when he goes back and "looks at it" is to recognize how many holding penalites his O line got away with, especially in the 1st half, and then keep his mouth shut. They finally starting calling them on it in the 2nd half....and that's when Eddie Lacy's big runs magically disappeared, and a bunch of their big plays got called back. What a coincidence!

Direhard Fan Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I loved the Ref's. They let the football players play football. Maybe just gave us a little pay back for last weeks calls. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rumblefish Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 why is it players, coaches, fans have to find excuses for not winning, sometimes it very tiring to hear adults talk and act like children biggest difference in calls may have come down to who bitched the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 This is how QB's describe premier D's. They always question the hits and calls because the premier D's always play well in the gray area of the rules. Excellent point. Case in point Seattle last year. They just rough housed every time they played so it just got accepted as good football by the refs. Like you said if you play well in that gray area consistently you get away with it.

CSBill Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 maybe he should look at his o lineman who were mauling our def line all day THIS !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLbills Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I don't think it's nice to hear an opponent say this. I'd rather they say the Bills players we're great today and kicked our butt. I do like hearing it. He's whining and making excuses because he just got his ass handed to him by Buffalo's D. C'mon, if he's so automatic, then something had him off. Awesome game to the Defense & ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said if you play well in that gray area consistently you get away with it. way back in the daynin another life as a coach I used to tell my athletes that winners never made excuses. You can give me a thousand reasons that something did not turn out right but I' just need you give me one solid effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice bowl 67 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 My Pack isn't going anywhere this season. We may win the division but one and done for this team in the postseason. Anytime we play against a good defense we always get beat and that isn't changing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The Milwaukee paper said Gilmore was one of the 2-3 best cornerbacks the Pack has faced the whole year. Nice the other teams reporters see that. I've been a fan of Gilmore and taken flack for it, but that guy played his best game Sunday and has put together an impressive second half of the season. What a stud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Linen Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 (edited) I've been a fan of Gilmore and taken flack for it, but that guy played his best game Sunday and has put together an impressive second half of the season. What a stud. Yes he has and I've also been a big supporter. In my view after Quarterback - its the most difficult position on the field. Obviously being in the trenches is more physically demanding but pound for pound corner is a brutal position.
