Week 10: Panthers @ Packers [H]

[rodell330]

Don’t stop the run and they will lose. End of story.

I'm not even speculating on Sunday's game. After last week's game and the fact that I'm on 2 different antibiotics and steriods all week, I'm afraid I might go look for a silo to leap from.

I never know what to expect week to week with this team. After the Philly debacle, I expected getting blown out in Dallas. But they came out focused and competed
. I'm hoping for a similar response this week. The Packers are capable of beating Carolina.

This, bounce back already been proven.

Also I know they're going to win now because the clown of Fox Sports 1 Clay Travis just gave them new bulletin board material

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

Oh yes it's going to get cold out there this Sunday. These guys stink in cold weather.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Book the win Sunday. I got "the call" from my buddy with season tickets, I'm going to the game and putting my streak of only seeing wins on the line again!

No throwing snowballs at me Mondio!

Packers play very well, setting the tone early. The craptacular play last week, the low point of the season, had an effect. We see a more focused team here on out.

Big day for our RBs. Our first defensive score of the year. Alexander pick 6.

IF the guys play like they are capable of and keep McCaffery from running wild we should be victorious. If they play like they did in LA last Sunday they won't be able to beat anybody. Let's hope they learned their lesson that you have to take every team/game seriously or you'll be embarrassed like they were against the Chargers.

More so than any other professional sports league, the NFL will humble you in a hurry if you BS around.

I only watched the last 5 or so minutes of the Charger-Raider game last night, but based on that and the final score, the LAC's aren't that great of a team. Rivers looked like garbage in crunch time. So for them to dominate the Packers in almost every phase last week, makes me wonder what we really have in Green Bay and just hope that the Charger game last week, was an anomaly for both teams.

Hopefully, the Panthers game rights the ship....for the Packers

The difference in the 2 games is in LA we faced a desperate team who played way above any performance they have had all season and we looked like a group just going thru the motions. That isn't gonna cut it against any NFL team. Last night they looked like they have for most of the season. The Raiders were successful putting pressure on Rivers where we did not. Our O line had its worst game in a while. The Panthers are a much better team than the Chargers. If we play as poorly this week as we did in LA we'll be embarrassed yet again.

 

[Wi. Mike now in Florida]

I don't know how this game will end but I do know one thing.

If the season ended today with a lose in the playoffs, I would be
proud that the Packers got this far with a all new coaching staff.

Free agency/draft will be here soon, then we can fill the gaps with
players we need.

I figured this would be brought up.

Rivers over the last several years has had a history of being hot and cold week to week. He also had put up good numbers against us in all his previous games but came up on the short end of the stick. I'd guess at age 37 that will probably be his last game against us. I think of that as sort of a Steve Young kind of thing. We had his number for three years in a row in the playoffs, but he was going to get one against us eventually, and he did. Same went for Rivers.


Our OL came into the game a bit slow, out of sync, got pegged for false starts, I've seen football for a while, and even good teams are going to have games like that sometimes. I figured the Raiders would have good success against them because their OL has done a good job all year, and they got completely healthy heading into last night. Don't be surprised either if the Raiders find a way to sneak into the playoffs. At 5-4 that's very possible.

Now I've been talking about our OL wanting Gute to upgrade the T position and all, but I still think they're better than what we saw last week. I think LaFleur and Rodgers wanted to get Adams back in the flow after coming off of injury and hence he got targeted a lot early on. I think this week we'll get back to a more even distribution method, mix in play action, and in general I expect a more crisp execution.


Ohh, ALSO ....

Anyone hear about Rodgers new catch phrase?

Moving on from the championship belt, R-E-L-A-X and Run The Table ...

It's now JUICE!!! Rodgers saying he wants juice!! After seeing his previous couple statements work, I think he's found another.

I feel like certain teams match up well with certain teams. We’ve all seen it. The 3-6 team beats an undefeated or whatever. We went on the Road thinking we could trip through a Win with Davante returning and this “supposed” Home Field advantage. Everyone seemed lethargic in LA. We know now we didn’t prepare by essentially their own admission from an insider.

I really don’t know how we match up to Carolina overall. One would think they will absolutely smear us in the run game. But ironically, that’s about the only situation that would pretty much force us to go out of our way to focus on the run D and short yardage.

I think this game may be just the opposite of what many GB fans would fear. As long as our Offense gets adequate rhythm, I think we will put early pressure in the box and limit their short yardage production, thus redirecting Carolina by challenging them to air it out to beat us.

Don’t expect Davante to be held to 41 yards back to back.

To me, the Pats have to be more concerned about their offense than we do.

That Josh McDaniels offense got exposed as a nothingburger without Gronkowski last week. Ravens have given opponents a blueprint sending a message that if you double down on Edelman in the slot, Brady will get lost determining where else to go with the football.

Davante Adams certainly takes some of the ball distribution in certain series, but at least he's not the lone playmaker we got out there. I'll tell ya, Matt LaFleur has been running circles around that phony offensive coordinator in New England.

It was one game.

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

It was one game.

My assessment isn't based on one game, it's on knowing McDaniels body of work and why he'd have been a terrible hire here.

 

[Pugger]

It was one game.

Yes, but this was also the first time NE faced a decent team so far this season and lost.

 

[RepStar15]

The packers need to find a way to stop McCaffery or this game could be ugly.

 

[Wi. Mike now in Florida]

I still haven't figure what happen against the Charger lose.

If every team that plays us from now until the end of the season,
should use this game as a review film titled: "How to bet the Packers."

 

[PackerfaninCarolina]

I am so ****ing ready I am not even nervous.

Big prediction: Rodgers busts em play one with a play action and hits a 75 yard TD to MVS

So answer me this then, should everyone use the formula going on now in the Superdome on how to beat Brees and the Saints?

Cuz right now they look just like we did last week


This is why the game last week is an anomaly

 

[HardRightEdge]

The packers need to find a way to stop McCaffery or this game could be ugly.

That seems to be the obvious take of the week. Let's take a closer look.

In 8 games, McCaffrey has 207 touches for 1244 yard, 53 first downs, 13 TDs. Yeah, those are MVP-type numbers if they make the playoffs and several guys split the QB vote.

But this is a one-back offense. McCaffrey has a 93% snap count. Their #2 back, is Reggie Bonnafon with 13 touches. If we take out his 59 yard TD run as an outlier, he's done next to nothing, 12 touches for 46 yards. Here's that big run, clean through the hole and nobody is there, just follow the GPS and bear right at 6th. St.:

You must be logged in to see this image or video!

Compare to Jones and Williams combined have these numbers in 9 games:

234 touches, 1234 yards, 63 first downs, 17 TDs.

In real football, as opposed to fantasy football roster with McCaffrey, there's no reason to give Carolina an edge at the RB position.

Back to McCaffrey, the answer is not stopping him. The answer is stopping him from making big plays. He's got nine 20+ yard plays, 6 rushing and 3 receivings, including four +40 plays. He's going to get his touches and yards, but the answer resides with the safeties and Pettine uses them in preventing the big plays.

king's in zone coverage and the rest of the guys are in man...and he gives up a big gain...which leads to car's first td. geesh.
