Official GB vs Pat's, studs n duds

[Pokerbrat2000]

It seems that the Pack cannot overcome hurry up offense and trick plays. The team just seems to be too vanilla in their play calling.

The answer is in your statement. Notice what the Patriots did on offense?

1. Played fast, keeping the Packer defense out of sync and unable to substitute.
2. Used creative "trick plays" successfully to keep drives going or get huge chunks of yards.
3. Didn't spend 30 seconds of the play clock standing in a huddle picking their noses. This allowed TB to actually look at the defense he was facing and audible if need be.

#3 is still my biggest beef with the way AR and the Packers are running their offense. They are more effective playing faster and not wasting so much time huddling up and then getting to the line with little time on the play clock. This offense is playing with no sense of urgency, even when down 2 scores. Combing #2, the Packer offense is about as Vanilla as I have ever seen it.

BTW.....WTF was going on with letting Scott Punt the ball at the end of the half with 14 seconds still on the clock and almost the same amount of time on the play clock? Surprisingly with all 3 timeouts, Brady merciful took a knee, but that decision by MM or Zook to not let the clock run all the way down was just plain stupid and are the little things the Packers seem to continuously get wrong.

It's a way for me to signal where I'm from, and who I support. Was I suppose to be a phony and come in here as Bart Star?

I definitely wasn't saying that. But, I will just ignore it for now, as a moderator wants it to end.

Dud: Kevin King injured yet again, dude is starting to look like a bust.

 

[Ogsponge]

Jimmy Graham, by now he should have showed us why they gave him the money the word Bust was made for his position...

I don’t think graham is the problem, I have supported MM the last couple of years but at this point I really think it is time for him to go.

 

[adambr2]

Graham is okay. Not great anymore, but $10M a year doesn't get you what it used to.

He's still one of our best producing players on offense, sadly.

We can't have studs at every position. But plenty of offenses are doing more with less.

 

[Cornelius Weems]

PC police are here, and clueless as usual.

OMG, give it a rest. You obviously only read that. Yawn, ignore.

He needs to go...this scrub pulls something every time he sneezes

Agreed, I don't think it's Graham. He's definitely not the same as was when catching passes from Brees. I can only think coaching is to blame. No creativity at all. Hell, BB was more creative. And our offense just had me scratching my head at times.

 

[Ken smith]

It is so offensive.

Soup, insurance, shampoo commercials, avoiding injury... the mans a career progression genius.

 

[Ken smith]

Duds... the packers team leaders.
Wait... scratch that. There’d have to be one.

Just saw this on ESPN:
Packers 17 points was tied for their worst of the season.
Packers 31 points allowed tied for their worst of the season.
Packers 5.8 passing yards per attempt worst of the season.

Disappointing game. We hung with them for awhile, but again costly mistakes, poor special teams play, got suckered by a trick play, can't get 60 minutes.
Brady outplayed Rodgers. A lot of injuries in a losing effort.

Poor special teams play? I didn't see that. Elaborate, please. And where do you get that Brady outplayed Rodgers? Rodgers isn't the one who went 0-8 passing at one point and Brady isn't the one who threw 2 TDs.

Rodgers 24 for 43, for a completion percentage of 56%.
Brady 22 for 35, completion percentage 63%.

Rodgers 259 yards, Brady 294
Rodgers passer rating 89.2, Brady 99.0

Rodgers did have the better QBR though, I wonder if Skip Bayless will mention that.
Rodgers also led in TD-INT (2-0) to Brady's 1-0. Rodgers did have a fumble, however.
Best you could do is call it a wash, but since the Patriots won the game, I'm inclined to give it to Brady.

Special teams wasn't so bad I guess, I was thinking of the opening kickoff where NE was able to start at the 45 or whatever it was.

Studs
MVS
D-line- I think they did a fine job. Brady gets rid of it so quick. Not their fault Clay and Perry the Fairy are the worst pair of starting OLB's in the National Football League.
Mike Pettine- outside of the brain fart on the fake screen where Tramon also missed the tackle I thought he called a great game. Brady was very average tonight.

Duds
Adams/Cobb- Box score will say Adams had 6 catches for 40 yards but didn't have his usual impact going against Gilmore. Cobb 5 catches for 24 yards against whoever their other corner is. Cobb is washed up.
O-line- Bakhtiari in a rare bad game too. Spriggs didn't get smoked this game, more so with the guards who have been crap all year.
Commercial Clay and Perry the Fairy- don't need to explain.
McDouble McCarthy- If Murphy brings him back for another year I want to see a current Packer employee mess up his teeth worse than it already is (may not be possible).
Joe Philbin- I don't know what his duties were in the past or his current duties but the offense has not got any better from last year.

Mike Pettine- outside of the brain fart on the fake screen where Tramon also missed the tackle I thought he called a great game. Brady was very average tonight.

How is that on Pettine? He's not the one who bit on the fake. He's not sitting up there with a PS4 controller in his hands.

I think if you take into account the horrible offensive line play, Rodgers gets the nod.

 

[Mike McCarthy]

Randall Cobb also earns mention in the dud category. Pay the man!

 

[PackerFanLV]

Studs-scantling

DuD- MM out coached (again) *yawns*

 

[Born Sinner]

Yes, black people like myself are very accepting of the name Blackie. Look, it may not have meant to be offensive, but it is still very offensive. Blackie is extremely offensive. I'm not arguing about it being a reference to the past, but today it is very offensive. Not trying to be like some flippy dippy hippie. Just saying it has zero place here and now.

Relax snowflake. I’m also black and it’s not offensive at all.

 

[adambr2]

5 Missed fg? And the wrong call in Matthews.

Would be 5 3 and tied with bears

Or if we don't convert a late 4th down against the 49ers, if Carlson can hit an XP length FG in OT against us, and if AR doesn't pull a miracle comeback against the Bears, we're sitting at 1-7 and in position for a top 3 pick.

Those arguments work both ways. There's nothing unlucky or undeserved about our mediocre 3-4-1 record, and it's plenty indicative of our performance this season.

 

[BostonBlackie]

Brady was very average tonight.

He's 41, it's beginning to show at times.

Man, I thought Sweet River Baines helped us all move past this.

Anyway, the Pats did what they always do, play pretty good football. Then when you make a mistake, or opportunity presents itself they take it and get to the endzone. GB had its moments and time and time again, instead of capitalizing, they came up short. It's tough to win there, and they're a good team and we "should" be a better team. But we're not. Even when we're looking like we'll take adavantage of something or put pressure on the opposing team, it seems they'd rather shoot themselves in the foot. All year it's been like that. D get's a tough stop, get decent field position, nope, lets give them the ball back and make our D get another stop before get the ball back. oh sweet, we get to start inside the 20 again on offense instead of 30-40. you know us, we like to gain as many yards as possible before scoring any points. who can proud of a 60 yard drive you know, those are for *******.

GB isn't far off, but they may as well be.

Didn't see anything offensive in your post.

Absolutely agree on #3. Everybody's onto you AR. Nobody is drawn offsides anymore. Give it the ******** hell up.
