Packers vs Giants Game Thread: It's too early for this shift edition

[McKnowledge]

Why does Green Bay not utilize the run game?

Why is it an afterthought?

You have two RBs to lean on...

Why did AJ Dillon only get 6 rush attempts?

So depressing to see fans who ignored ppl saying this team lacked offensive playmaker after passing on them in 2020 and now blaming everyone but Gute for fielding an offense that lacks any playmaker who consistently makes plays downfield one-on-one. Barry is a terrible DC but the offense is crippled because they’r it’s relying on freaking Cobb and Lazard to be true #1 receivers, but let’s blame the coaches and players for not magically turning those two into something they’ve never been.

Team after team showing you dont need a prima donna head case soaking your cap dry to be effective

Can’t even get it off - AR walking off with a grin on his face- I hate that! You just played embarrassing football, what the h*** is there to be grinning about, especially not even a minute after this terrible loss. I just don’t get how any competitor can have a smile or grin on his face immediately after a performance like that - oh yes I do, about 40 million reasons or thereabouts.

 

[Team Ronny]

Myers & Newman SUCK!!! Two weakest links on the oline!!! How many more 1st rd picks do they need on defense to make them better? Joe Barry..you knew all week they were going to run the ball..yet still let them have their way with your defense!!

 

[ThePerfectBeard]

It's almost like LaFleur makes some bone headed decisions. Hiring Barry was a huge one.. people gave him a pass last year because we tightened up a bit, but realistically, hiring a DC with Barry's track record should have never been considered. He was a good linebacker coach, but has never proved he could be a DC. It was like this last year before LaFleur had to tell him to play coverage or go after the QB. His defense is soft just like Pettine's was and he doesn't adjust.

This defense has way too much talent to play this bad.

 

[GBowner]

After that Giants timeout, I think whatever was called was Aaron's call. Rodgers came out and MLF clearly mouthed 'Really? This close?'

I’ve felt for quite awhile now that all those short yardage pass plays are all Rodgers. He cant stand not being the hero. It’s always all about him, damn the team. He could’ve beat Tampa and SF both in the playoffs but he’s all about stats, period.

While theres truth to that, we still ignored our running game several times this season. The Giants were missing their entire starting cast of WR! They Won definitively against a superior team imo. You find ways to win using your strengths and our game plan was inferior

im sorry. casual Fans should not have to tell a HC to use his dual star RB’s to get 1.5 yards yards in 2 tries. Especially when the object is to burn that minute off the clock down to under 20 seconds where you can get 3-4 plays and call timeouts to leave zero time. Or make them churn their last 2 timeouts. That’s embarrassing play calling. Had we scored and left them 1:05 sec and 2 timeouts we’d lose by A walk off FG


it was 3rd and 1 at the 6 yard line. With 1:11 on the clock. Total mismanagement. We needed 1 YARD. We run it and get 4 tries from the 5 yard line And they burn their Timeouts

 

[Chaluke]

It's tough being a Packer fan.

 

[Big L]

It’s bewildering. We neEd 2 yards in 2 tries. You want to burn clock at least 30-40 sec. You throw twice. miss twice and stop the clock ?

I stated it before,/with the defense the Giants were in, that third down play should have been an inside handoff to Dillion, how did they not see that

I agree they should run more but that’s much more difficult when the defense is perfectly happy to stack the box knowing you have nobody who can do anything downfield. That being said, i too don’t understand letting Dillon try for 2 yards; he’s been awful at breaking big plays but he’s pretty good at getting 4 yards.

Not argument what so ever!

This team is just not very good. Way too much holding them back. A qb & coach who gets flustered when they are trailing. Wrs running wrong routes& can't get open downfield..oline giving up sacks on 3rd down. Abandoning running game in crucial moments. A run defense that is not good, and a coordinator who refuses to adjust or plan for run heavy teams..but..at least special teams isn't a total disaster!!

It’s been teeth grinding watching a team that can’t play 4 Qtrs of football, make changes now MLF Amari, was denied a Visa to stay in London so were stuck with him

I still can't believe we took Myers over Humphrey...

 

[Big L]

Realistically, this is a league with very few real good football teams. Most so called experts had the Packers as the 4th or 5th best team in league after last week as inconsistent as they were. That says more about the league then about the Packers.

There are no A teams in the NFL, a few A- teams maybe. You can’t be as inconsistent as the Packers have been, and be anything more then a B / B- ball club as compared to the rest of the league.

The Giants were the better ball club today, and maybe just better - not sure

It’s just frustrating. It said 3rd n 1 but it was a long 1. Run it twice.but we got embarrassed and it wasn’t just lack of WR1 Although that is an issue also it was a bi product it should’ve been an OT game worst case. I know Matt gets the intricacies and he’s brilliant at design, but he’s proven not good on clock to play management to finish games.

If this is the best we can expect from AR & MLF then I'd like to see Love get experience and see what he can do before Gute needs to 5th year option him or not.

3 & out on 3 straight bombs down field? 3&2 from the 6 yd line and 2 straight failed pass plays? Jordan Love time!!

 

[Firethorn1001]

No one is getting fired in week 6 and Rodgers isn't getting benched for Love. That's all just emotional twiddle-twaddle.

Sunshine is right though on is needing 1 more great Veteran WR. Cobb did great, but no way should he be relied upon to carry our team.

Lazard looks more like a good WR3. Romeo is a future Great, but he can’t be expected to carry us through a SB. He’s a best supporting actor great WR3 for now. That’s fantastic for a Rookie not an insult.

Sammy is a WR2 and he can’t stay on the field. It’s a conundrum.

 

[Packerbacker1996]

Three lousy passes, three and out. What happened to the receivers? Aaron's bombs were so effective. Now nobody can catch them.

Once again we put up points in the first half and hope that the other team won't score in the second.

Super Bowl, maybe next year folks.

Not with this coaching staff

Love would look like @$$ and then the 2020 draft would officially be garbage; by not playing it still gives some fans hope.

 

[Packerbacker1996]

There's no question about it.

Only thing you can hope for is that it's a massive wake up call and a spring board forward.

I don't think so. Bot with MLF and Barry.
Hire Parcells or promote Bissacia to start and find a good DC
