So much for that vaunted GB running game.

Ground game would've been much more effective if Seneca played the entire game. Obviously not nearly as solid as when Rodgers is in there, but Seneca got a week of first-string reps and would've been able to operate the offense a hell of a lot more competently than what we saw out there today (no offense to Tolzien -- not his fault).
I'm not sure if any NFL team could come close to winning a game or even looking remotely functional with their scout-team QB.Comment -
mccoy ate clay mathews and gb defense today. was a workhorse. foles didn't play all that but stats will show he played good.Cause Sleep is the Cousin of DeathComment -
You seriously think Wallace would have saved that game??
Tolzien is an improvement over Wallace.
Regardless, it doesn't matter. They could have started Tolzien and ended up in the same boat. This match was all about the hot hand vs. a bad QB situation. People backing GB are blind. They think that because it's in Lambeau it's an autoplay.
Philly is at home vs. Washington next week. Jump all over it.Comment -

It's not that he is or isn't physically better. That's not the point.
To say that Tolzien is an "improvement over Wallace" when he's never played a single down in the NFL and didn't get a chance to prepare at all with the first-string offense this week -- compared to Wallace, who has been around for forever and did get all the first-string reps -- is asinine, regardless of skill set.Comment -
One player teams don't win in the nfl. Pack should have known better.Comment -
Ya....it's so asinine....because we all know that it's impossible for someone off the practice squad to be better than one of the worst QB's in the league.
Tolzien was a top performer in that game. 280 yards at 61%. Wallace could not have done that.
So asinine of me to even suggest such a thing.

If you'd have told me beforehand that Seneca would be out by mid-first quarter and I'd have to rely on a scout-team QB to win the bet, I'd obviously had passed. Circumstances changed during the game. Had Wallace played, I would have made the bet again. You can't replace his first-string reps at practice and in-game experience at the snap of a finger for some kid who's never played an NFL down before.Comment -
Did you see Tolzien in the red zone? Threw a huge pick at the 5 in the second quarter, couldn't pick up a first down that led to a missed field goal on the next possession, had to settle for a field goal on 1st and goal from the 8 right before the half, and by the time he finally cashed in on a trip, it was 20-3. Then he misfires again on the next possession and they settle for a FG, and he throws three straight incompletions after Foles fumbles inside the 10.

That is called lack of experience and lack of NFL snaps. Again, nothing against Tolzien, but you aren't going to win an NFL game with some scout team kid who is a blank slate. Period.
I rest my case.
Throwing out arbitrary stats that were accumulated after the game was decided doesn't prove anything.Comment -
TJ Yates says you can be thrown into a game and win.Comment -
It isn't. It's about experience.
Re-read my posts re: GB's red zone offense. 10 points in six trips. It's not that Tolzien is a bad QB or Seneca is a good QB, but when you combine first-team practice reps with receivers, backs and linemen with nine years as an NFL QB, you are much better situationally than a kid carrying a clipboard suddenly being thrown to the wolves.
I'm not saying the bet would've won, necessarily, if Wallace had played the entire game, but I would've liked my chances much more instead of what transpired today.Comment -
Refs made a huge mistake blowing the whistle on the Foles fumble. Would've been a 7 point game w 10 minutes left. Those morons should learn to err on the side of caution.Comment -
Clipboard? I bet you Tolzein has taken more snaps this year than Wallace has in his last 2-3 seasons.
Better situationally? Obviously not. Tolzein out performed anything that Wallace could have done. Ill assume that Wallace has had some practice with the team. He had 11 completions for about 100 yards last week when Rodgers went out. One week of practice is supposed to make the difference?
So if SITUATIONALLY it's better with Wallace then how could that be when you have a rookie off the farm team in his 1st game ever who clearly is better?
Face it. You have no idea what you are talking about. Wallace is not better than Tolzein. Trying to claim that GB had better chances with Wallace is stupid. He already showed everyone last week how lousy he is. Wallace was replaced by a better QB and they STILL lost the game.
So YES, Tolzein was an improvement over Wallace.Comment -
Green Bay will miss the playoffsComment -
Snaps on the practice squad.
Before last week, Wallace had not thrown a regular season pass in years.Comment
