[QUOTE="PFanCan, post: 633016, member: 1989"] I agree. Though I am quite the noob when it comes to diagnosing the complexities of the NFL game, some of what I saw was surprising (to me). For example, and I invite some of the experts on this forum to help out explaining why these things occurred: 1. Why did they continue to run with Lacy? I was screaming when I saw him trot out for that unfortunate series that ended with his fumble. Sure, fumbles happen. Starks fumbles, too. But, it was clear early on who was hot and who was not. Plus, this seems to be a longer term issue. Ok, Lacy is better at picking up the blitz. But, Starks is better at screens, which counters the rush/blitz in the first place. Starks is averaging over a half yard better than Lacy this season, yet he continues to be the backup. Why? 2. They play Ripkowski once and he gains 18 yards while plowing over a Panther defender. Then, we don't see him again. Why? 3. I recall two screens to Starks. Both went for big yards. But, no more attempts. I don't recall a single screen that failed. 4. A. Rodgers was inexplicably focused on the right side of the field, despite being repeatedly hit from the left side. One would think he would start to peek that way to see who is coming. IDK, just seemed like he didn't have his usual "wide" awareness. 5. I don't recall a single boot leg. Deep pocket drops over and over, was mostly what I recall. Why? 6. Cobb did not get the ball a single time out of the back field. Nothing. No jet sweeps, nothing. All season long, they have only handed the ball to Cobb twice. Total yards = 22 for an average of 11 yards per play. Why not more often? 7. The coaches put in Jake Ryan and he performed well. At the point that the game was pretty much out of reach, why not try others? Is Gunter so bad or ill prepared that he would be a disaster out there in place of one of the more senior CBs- even Goodson? Why not give him a shot? 8. Why not try Aberderis or Janis? I noted that on the 4th and long play that Jones caught, Jones was running what looked like half speed. He actually looked (to me) to be surprised that the ball was coming his way. Prior to the pass, he was (as it looked to me) half-heartedly juking left and right and the defender was just running with him stride for stride, but Jones did not look like he had any expectation that the ball was going to come his way. Just looked strange to me. Why not put some fresh legs in and have them run simple routes? Again, I am a noob. What do I know. But, a fan can vent and wonder all the same. [/QUOTE]
