You guys are right about Walden. He was the player who stood out on defense. I wasn't expecting that at all. It was a fantastic effort from him, and they needed it. He may be better than Zombo, who may be better than Jones. (Imagine how good our FOURTH stringer would be?)

I don't think there can be any debate about this. Masthay was unquestionably the player of the game. It's impossible to overstate the importance of field position in the NFL, and he set the Bears up with consistently terrible field position.

I think I'll go ahead and question it.

To clear the air: Masthay played beautifully. No doubt about it. And while his role is fundamentally tied to field position, and field position is important, to me Walden made more high impact plays. It can tend to be easier to shine when you have one responsibility: kick the ball. When you have to rush the passer, play the run, and drop back in coverage, it's hard to stick out. Walden stuck out. Two sacks, 10 tackles, key tipped pass -- just generally always being around the ball.

Now, a few have pointed out he gave up contain. Yeah. But he made up for it.

This is entirely subjective, of course. But Walden gets my game ball.

It's a whole different story than just "kick the ball" though when you are responsible for kicking to Hester.

If we're going to split it up like that, I would break it down like this:

Offense: No award. No one stood out this game. Even Rodgers was barely above 50% for most of the game. Honorable mention: No award. Jennings might have gotten it had he put out any significant effort to catch the ball on that interception. But he didn't, so he is disqualified.

Defense: Walden. With the exception of his one failure to contain, he came up big series after series. Honorable mention: Raji.

Special teams: Masthay. Honorable mention: Bush.

I hardly consider Punters to be ball players.. lol.. but his effort today, and that of the Gunners, most notably Bush was excellent.

And as much as I protested it.. we haven't suffered and injury to Williams yet this season as a punt returner.. but he helped flip the field for us as well..

MVP of the game is a bit of a stretch for me and my bias on the punter.. but hard to argue that point.

Hope he brings that to the playoffs.

Bias against punters.. yes, a product of the position they play.

The Quarterbacks as a whole.. the number of guys over the years of camps and play.. they earned that... candy ass me first jackasses for the most part. lol.

Let's not forget.....as cold as it was, kicking that ball is like kicking a rock!
He kept it away from Hester, which was HUGE.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent
