Packers vs Seahawks Game Thread: Rain City Shootout Editon

The clock management of the end makes me wonder about MLF whether or not he is in elite coach

What's with Matt's being bad at clock management

 

[GBowner]

FG was the correct call

Agree. 3 scores up instead of 2 could be huge.

It’s actually been one of just several areas of weakness for Matt imo. When a casual fan like me can scream TO

Should’ve called a TO after the Reed 3 yard catch at :49 seconds. It’s 3rd down and you’re shy of FG range worst case.

Great half!

Now we need to play a 2nd half with more pts

 

[AKCheese]

Need 10 more points

We can’t get complacent.

Need a Blitz or Sack on this next drive.

I’d come right out trying to move the chains on O with a few roll out option plays. Then when midfield take a shot to Watson on jump ball.

MLF better make that his half time speech

10? I really would feel a heck of a lot more comfortable if we got a least 17 more. Let's not forget that they start off with the ball in the 2nd half, and our defense likes to play soft zone, kind of a lot.

 

[DoURant]

Jacobs 111 total yds, 73 on the ground. Love 12-13 for 142, 2 3rd down sacks and an INT by the Defense. Need a repeat for the 2nd half

 

[PackerDNA]

Man we're just physically weak. I'm so tired of nine times out of tendency and running back to three or four yards at their contact on us

 

[OldSchool101]

Wyatt!’ !!!’

 

[DoURant]

Nice move by Wyatt to get that sack on Geno

 

[OldSchool101]

yes!!! Sounds like us 6 weeks ago!

 

[Zartan]

Good stuff so far tonight.

 

[GBowner]

Another punt fielded inside the 10. WTH is that?

 

[DoURant]

Defense has given up a few plays, but they have come up with the stops when they needed to. Time for a nice 7 minute drive and points to take their will away.

 

[OldSchool101]

If we can get a Long 7 minute click eating drive and score 7? It’d be hard for Seattle not to abandon the Run

exactly what I was typing!! lol

 

[PackerDNA]

Don't crawl in a shell and stop playing. Pour it on.

What's with Matt's being bad at clock management

My personal suspicion is that it's yet another example of why he needs to turn over in-game playcalling responsiblities to someone else. I think he's just trying to do too many things in that 25-40 second period of time. Some coaches are able to do that, but he doesn't seem to be one of them.

There's no shame in it. He's exceptional at play design, but that skill is wasted if the right plays aren't being run at the right time.

I put some of this on Love, though. He's been around long enough that he should have been able to sense how the clock was developing and take charge of the situation. That's what a smart veteran would be able to do, and it's the sort of thing we need to be able to expect from him.

 

[melvin dangerr]

Only time I would toss a fish is on the grill

 

[OldSchool101]

Great Play by Reed.

 

[OldSchool101]

Please don’t throw that red flag!

 

[OldSchool101]

Too predictable. Poor play calling

 

[OldSchool101]

Terrible punt. I could make the 50 on a roll!!!

 

[Zartan]

What the heck was that..
