I think it`s more about spreading it around and not becoming predictable to the opponents. imho

Opponents are well aware the Packers lack talent at wide receiver behind Adams. Yet most of them can't contain him.

Once the Packers face a defense capable of limiting Adams' impact the passing offense will struggle no matter if Rodgers spread the ball around against a weaker opponent the week before.

Could one argue that with out getting game time reps, other wr can never get better?

Aside of EQ every other receiver currently on the roster has played more than 100 snaps on offense. Hasn't made any of them significantly better though.

What % of target for adams and what % for others

What % of target for adams and what % for others

Broken down by player

Adams has been targeted on 25.8% of Rodgers' pass attempts this season. That would have left enough opportunities for every other receiver on the roster to make an impact.

Also a valid argument

It would be a valid argument if the other wide receivers didn't receive a significant amount of snaps. That's not true though.

Mvs is only one that should be hammered.we know he drops and has been doing it for a while.

For me the rest havent had enough actual catching opportunity to see what they can do.
Repetion in game time is valuable.

Again its MY opinion they dont have enough game time experience.

Talent is another issue..but game time needs to be more.

Snaps are a lot different from being targeted. The question is, Are they even being looked at? Not complaining. Our offense is doing good. Just always looking for ways to be more complete. Double edged sword sometimes. But I do think LaFleur needs to be willing to change game tactics midstream. As does ARod.

The lack of talent is the main reason why they don't receive more targets while getting significant playing time though.

I don't know why anyone would suggest Rodgers should be forced to look somewhere else as long as the opponent can't contain Adams.

I am not very good at reading Aaron Rodger's mind, but I have noticed that most good QBs try to hit the open man. Given that 12 is far more than 'good' and routinely hits 6, 7, 8 guys each game, I believe he sees the value in spreading it around, and LaFleur's offense does rely on forcing a D to cover everybody. It's simple: after Adams GB just doesn't have anybody truly good. OK, but not good.

Rams debunk the silly NFC East claim again

Rams debunk the silly NFC East claim again

They're still only 2-3 against opponents outside the NFC East though.

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

Either way, the Rams win over Seattle yesterday was big. It keeps the NFC West wide open, especially since both the Rams and Cardinals got Ws vs the Hawks and still play each other.

The two NFC South teams are the ones we gotta hold at bay. What's a bit troubling is that on paper, the Saints have a big cupcake schedule remaining with only one tough opponent being KC. It's certainly possible that Atlanta will show up against them again this year like they did last year, but they won't be winning both games vs NO. Good news is TB also has to play vs the Rams and Chiefs, but should they win one of those games, we might need help from Detroit against them as well.

Meantime, not sure which team losing tonight would be better. I mean obviously the Bears going to 5-5 would keep them at 2 1/2 games behind and potentially jeopardize their playoff chances. But it could potentially give the Vikings a head of steam too that I'd rather they not have. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I don't think there's much to worry about with either NFCN team winning.

At 4-5, with games remaining against the Bucs and Saints, I think the Vikings' hole would still be too big to dig out of for the division. They're looking at anywhere from 7 to 9 wins.

At 6-4, I would still not be worried about the Bears. That offense is not taking them anywhere. All we would really need would be to split with them. And even against easy opponents, it would be easy for them to stumble once or twice because it's such a struggle for them to score.

If the Bears were 9-0 right now I MIGHT consider rooting for vikings tonight but they aren't and its way too early in the season to think about wanting the vikings to win.

Like you said though, I don't think either team will be able overtake the Packers no matter who wins tonight.

 

[gatorpack]

Well it sounds like brees will be out some time that should take care of the Saints for us depends how many games he is out for. I think we will need 12-4 to get the 1 seed. If we can beat the colts I will like our chances.

Lady friend of mine in Minneapolis says to me, "The Vikes are playing the Bears tonight. Can't you root for the Vikings?" She knows my dislike for the Bears and is playing mind games with me. My response? "Where is my .38?" Then sent her a pic of my Packers flag flying in the backyard...well, kinda hanging there which IS an unfortunate metaphor I guess ... she says, "You're a John Deere fan?" Grrrr... "Yep Jess, because John Deere has the best record in the NFC...."

I'LL try to keep you posted...
