[Forget Favre]

How are there not more Adams duds? This guy literally dropped two easy touchdown passes, and could've cost us the game. I'm not sold on him yet for this very reason. He will have a big game and then suck the next. A chance to show he's finally "arrived" and he lays a giant dud.

Catch either one and that would have been the dagger for us even before it gets taken out of the sheath.

Little possums walk early (this defense), big possums walk late (Rodgers to Nelson).

You know, when QBs like Wilson and Barkley are not air mailing balls, the short-to-intermediate middle has been there for the taking all season. Fire Capers.

The weak pass rush sure didn't help things today. Other than Peppers' strip sack, I don't think the Packers got more than one or two hits on Barkley all day (Ryan's 15 yd. penalty hit doesn't count). After a very good game last week, Jones went back into hiding.

Nowadays she just might.

 

[HardRightEdge]

Maybe Capers played a hard coverage defense the entire game against Seattle. ( If he did it worked). Honestly, I don't know what he did in the Seattle game. Why deviate in today's game from something that worked through three quarters. This is my first negative comment about Capers. It's quite obvious he made a bad move in today's game and came very close to losing the game for the Packers.

When Wilson wasn't misfiring his receivers were dropping balls. But one critical difference was the Packers got pressure on Wilson thanks to Seattle's lousy pass blocking line. Not this week against the Bears. Seattle had one of the days where the offense couldn't do anything right. I think we saw some of that earlier in the Packer season, without the bunches of INTs of course.

I'm so confused. And so is Dom Capers.

 

[HardRightEdge]

Duds: MM not taking easy points in the 1st quarter.

Yeah, I did not understand going on 4th. down instead of kicking the 39 FG for a 10 point lead.

 

[Robert Mason]

Not sure, but it seemed to me in the Bears game today that the Packers were not gaining much on first down plays. Seemed like a lot of 2nd and 10's and 3rd and 10's etc....A lot of long pass attempts ( 10 plus) and not many short pass attempts (under 10).

Good point ! Not only a soft zone coverage, but no pass rush against the Bears. The few bright points on defense were the interceptions.

 

[longtimefan]

People complaining about it was the Bears? But they had their number 1 w back for 1st time in 4 games..

The games with out him.. 1 and 3.. Giants, And Tennessee by 6 both games.. Let by 3 to Detroit.. Beat miners.

So even a losses, but without arguably best player...

So today that player was fresh and ready to go

Was this mentioned yet?

 

[Robert Mason]

That's just a gamble by the coach. Sometimes it works.....sometimes it doesn't. The second time they went for the FG.

 

[Snoops]

So I was looking at standings if Green Bay wins next week and Detroit loses wouldn't we win the division regardless since we would be 4-1 in the division and just have a tie breaker over Detroit even if they beat us?

They would both be 9-6 with one game left. GB vs Det. winner take all.

Schum - should be his LAST year in GG, I do not understand how he continues to have a job.

Schum had one terrible punt yesterday but the weather made it tough for kickers. He has performed on a high level over the past few weeks therefore I expect him to be back next year.

It seems like the whole complexion of games change with a big lead. Defense goes into prevent which is like saying " We will give up points in exchange for time off the clock". Offense just tries to eat clock time. Just look at the difference in today's third and fourth quarters.

It doesn't make any sense to change the scheme with a big lead though getting away from what has worked to get you there. It almost cost the Packers a win yesterday.

Stud: John Fox for not taking the 10 second run off after Taylor's injury. Had he, would there have been enough time left after Jordys catch to spike the ball?

I realized that as well. No way the Packers have enough time to spike the ball after the long completion to Nelson if Fox had decided to let 10 seconds run off the clock after Taylor´s injury.

Not sure, but it seemed to me in the Bears game today that the Packers were not gaining much on first down plays. Seemed like a lot of 2nd and 10's and 3rd and 10's etc....A lot of long pass attempts ( 10 plus) and not many short pass attempts (under 10).

The Packers averaged 7.52 yards on first down plays vs. the Bears. That number is significantly higher than the team´s average of 5.02 yards for the season.

 

[RepStar15]

Studs: Rodgers playing injured; Jordy Nelson, Jared Cook, Ty Montgomery, Peppers, HAHA, Christine Michael, Oline, Micah Hyde and Crosby
Duds: Dom Capers 2nd half PREVENT defense; Davante Adams, Clay Matthews (granted he is playing hurt, but can we all agree this is the most overpaid player on the team....besides Sam Shields)

 

[Poppa San]

I realized that as well. No way the Packers have enough time to spike the ball after the long completion to Nelson if Fox had decided to let 10 seconds run off the clock after Taylor´s injury.

Packers were at 3rd and long on there own 20. Fox had a choice between about 45 seconds and 35 seconds with timeouts left. Bears wanted the ball with as much time as possible. I didn't realize the 10 second runoff was optional. Rodgers also burned some time making sure the offense was set before snapping the ball. If it takes Arodg that long to get downfield, why not have him stop at about the 50 and let Ty or Cobb take the snap and spike it?

Studs: Monty - a semblance of a running game is in the midst.
Rodgers - cant win in clutch time? wrong.
Cook - Big plays equals big rewards
Oline. - they made the plays to win a game, solid pass pro for the most part, run line was better.

Duds: Dom Capers - this should do it as far as scheme is concerned. I understand he didn't let the Bayers walk down the field, HIS SCHEMES did. Unacceptable even to a pedestrian level. He does not appear to know when to put the gas pedal on high as far as defensive play calling is concerned. It doesn't get any more clear - he needs to go.
DDP - don't know what to say, start working on your concentration week in and week out. Mr. Inconsistancy. this guy has every tool except concentration on technique. Guy is a superstar if he could it put his hands in the reliable category - again I blame the coaching here to a certain degree.
Schum - should be his LAST year in GG, I do not understand how he continues to have a job.

All in all, it was a lucky win that in most cases should've been a Loss. I question whether Rollins was worth a 2nd round pick playing 10 yards off the line and still getting burned repeatedly, but that is coaching - Capers.

Did you miss every punt over the last 5-6 games?

Schum has been fine.

 

[Carl]

I agree 100%. This coaching staff continues to disappoint and seem destined to fail. Pass up points early. Give up huge leads late. I'm sick of sneaking into the playoffs and being one and done. No killer instinct at all with this staff. It's disgusting.

More and more of fans thinking MM losing games all the time with a lead.

Rodgers and him are 40 something and 2 with a two score lead and have won about 30 in a row in the regular season when leading going into the 4th.

And just two weeks ago, they earned a 28 point and lead and kept it, but for some reason only this game gets mentioned as an example against him.

 

[Arod2gjdd]

Studs:
Peppers-monster play to open the second half, nice recovery
Hyde-batting away 3rd and goal attempt
Nelson-finally escaping deep when we needed it most
Ha Ha-2 more picks
Running game-both Monty and Michael looked explosive
Cook-Nice to see him involved, hope to see more

Duds:
Adams-Worst game of his career. Not one but two free touchdowns lost because of concentration lapses. I fully expect him to bounce back
Soft coverage in fourth
Foot off the gas pedal as usual
Clay-Did he play yesterday?
Announcers for beating the Rodgers injury to death

I´m not sure I want anyone else than Rodgers taking that snap as a penalty results in a 10 second runoff sending the game into overtime. I took another look at the replay and in my opinion it would have been awfully close to be able to get the snap off in time with 10 seconds less on the clock.

ummm.... no. pretty sure 10-6 beats 9-7. Lions already have 9 wins... a win over the Pack would give them 10

I rewatched the end as well and you are right Captain, it would be have been extremely close without those 10 seconds, I do think AR was watching the clock and kind of took his time, knowing there was enough, but glad he had it. Poppa brings up a good point, especially with Rodgers not at full speed, it would be wise to have a play in their arsenal to do just what Poppa stated. Have the other 10 guys hustle to the line, Rodgers would have to stop forward progress somewhere on the field and just get that ball snapped and spiked.
