Third string demotion is the kiss of death. Flynn will never take another snap for the Oakland Raiders. His future in the NFL, assuming he still has one is holding a clipboard. What a precipitous fall from grace. Not unlike the Josh Freeman saga, but admittedly less dramatic.

Anyone remember that "not dead yet" scene from Monty Python?
New Year's Day, 2012, Flynn came into Lambeau vs the Detroit Lions and went:
31 for 44
480 yards
6 TDs (1 Int)
Stafford had a heck of a day that day too btw (5 TDs & a 2 pt conv, but lost 45-41).
That Packer team was 14-1 though. And this is before Flynn's "noodle" arm became "withered."
Jordy Nelson went 9/162/3.

This deserves more discussion:
Not to a/c this, but between RG3, McCown and Flynn, Im strongly leaning towards going GB in a big day matchup with WRs desperate to go off and a QB desperate to regain glory.
What are people thinking about his chances tomorrow? DET can definitely be torched and they can score, so he should be throwing... a lot

I picked up Flynn today and will start him over RGIII. I need a win to get in, and RG can't be trusted.
Flynn had 15 points in three qtrs in my league, so I'm hoping he can put 20-25 on the board. As stated above, Det gives up some big points to Qb's.
Come on Flynn, you own the Lions!!!

I think this is a high scoring game. 35-31 Packers. I'd start Jordy, Jones, Boykin, Calvin, Stafford, Bush, Burleson, and Lacy. As it stands I only have Burleson, Calvin and Jordy. All are in the lineup today.
Shutout

Surprisingly, of all the guys you'd figure to start, lacy is the one I am a bit concerned about today. Maybe I am just thinking of that epic game Flynn had against Detroit or something but I see this as a good game for Flynn and mayb about 6-7 points for lacy just because of how it plays out. Hope I'm wrong.

Free Jordy!
All I know is that the Packers need this game more than anything, win this and they know Rodgers can come back and take them to the playoffs, if not, well...
So what about Matt's allegedly withered noodle arm and macaroni elbow? All better now?
I just have images of Tiquan Underwood romping free in the Lions backfield.
Flynn went 23/36/218/6.1/1/0 vs MIN - give me that and a little more with a whole 60 minutes, and toss that TD plus one more to Jordy and I can just go to sleep on the tryptophan.
I must say it always cracks me up to look at rankings and you see a team's two WR's ranked in the top 5 or top 20 for a given game and then you scroll down to the QB and he's like not even top 15. Who do they think the receivers will be having all this success with?

In like Flynn baby! He's gonna wreck Detroit today. That secondary is terrible and they likely don't have their best CB.

GB fans, I saw lat week that Jones had 12 targets and Boykin 10. Any insight into who Flynn prefers? Any edge of one WR over the other?

Last time Flynn played the lions they helped him get a 25m contract, wonder what the shaky lion pass defense will serve up to Matty boy this time.

I'm betting on Jones in DFS!! I'm hoping for one of Jones monster 2 TD games today.

I did the same thing. Don't really need the win but I wouldn't mind knocking somebody out of a first-round bye in the playoffs.

The game plan did the guy no favors. You have an offensive line that can't give him any time yet they call a 5-7 step drop every play. How about calling plays that get the ball out of his hands quickly? How about rolling him out? How about anything? It took them 4 possessions to realize maybe they should put him in the shotgun. How do they expect the guy to go through his progressions when the pocket is collapsing almost instantly?

Cut this son of a biscuit eater and hand him a bus ticket back to Baton Rouge.
Oh. Man. What a disaster for all Packers.

He scored -2.5 points for me. I should of started myself and scored zero.
I'm going to try to take a dump on my own chest because I am an idiot.

He was probably cut last night.
The guy was cut by the Raiders a few weeks ago. No more NFL for Flynn.

Lacy was great for Lacy! With Flynn at QB, he'll see 8 in box nonstop.He was great for Lacy last week though.fantasycurse42 said:

That. Was. Awful.
Any of us starting Lacy/Nelson/Boykin/ GB DST must have been engaging in wishful thinking and got drawn in by the stat matchup.
No bad defense can make an awful QB worthwhile.

Ya but he also checked down 4 or 5 times to Lacy against Minnesota. Lacy was still good but Rodgers, doesn't do the dump offs very often.Lacy was great for Lacy! With Flynn at QB, he'll see 8 in box nonstop.He was great for Lacy last week though.fantasycurse42 said:

Clearly Flynn was not prepared to play that game. Not sure what book he's been reading lately, but it was not his playbook.
Snap, drop back, and lock in on Jordy Nelson. He looked like a guy that won a "so you want to be an NFL QB" contest during the pregame warm-up.
I can think of two plays off the top of my head; the Andrew Quarless wide open crossing the field (whom he threw past/behind) and Eddie Lacy standing all alone, facing Flynn, while he sits in the pocket waiting to be sacked.
Should be cut immediately for lack of interest.

Except for the Vikings... Their defense seems to make a living out of making bad QB's look good. The game last year against Jacksonville, when Gabbert lit them up at the dome (and nearly beat them), comes to mind as a good example.

Matt Flynn has been on the active rosters of 4 NFL teams in the past 10 months. Is that an NFL record for a quarterback?
