In that case ... I don't care if it was open... we needed to control the clock and keep the defense off of the field .... first downs are the way to do that.... Frankly a longer field is your friend in that case.... but not if you throw it incomplete on a lower percentage play.If I remember correctly though, Adams was open, he just over threw him. Sure it's a less likely pass, because it's deeper, but Rodgers has been pretty good at them over his career. One of them one the game for us. But what defense was Chicago in? what was the appropriate play to run? Maybe that was it? It was open. Unless i'm thinking of a different one. Then scratch everything I've said
But I am more in the camp of move the ball, take what's in front of you, move the chains. Then take your shots type of guy overall.
. I`m drunk half the time.
Bill..........HALF the time???????Hey, you want to have to moderate in the shoutbox. It can be hell in there
I agree, but without knowing the offensive package on the field and the defensive play call, we're really not debating from any position of strength. Just stating something didn't work. There are defenses to take away short, ball controlling offenses and stop the run and all sorts of things. Without knowing exactly what the defense was doing, if an open play just isn't executed, it really isn't about anything more than execution. He was open, he missed the pass.
I don't need to know the offensive play call to complain about this issue... it may well be the offensive play call that I have the issue with in the first place. All I know is that it was 4th and 2 and Adams was way down field. A good offense can dictate to the defense. If you need to pick up 2 yards..... get them. That play should have been over in less than 4 seconds from the snap.
a good offense still has to execute though. They can dictate whatever they want, no matter the play call if you don't execute, it's over. So they get a match up with cobb on a linebacker who lines up deep to give him some space and cobb cuts underneath, basically ad 3 step slant, but the end doesn't get cut and gets up and knocks it down. Same outcome. Different play call.
Of... course.... but it's about percentages.... my opinion... Rodgers is still looking deep too often.
I agree because it was 4th down ... the only risk was a pick 6....
I think so too overall, but, we've run the short passing game with great effectiveness this year and recently i think there's been a shift more towards looking downfield in the pasdt week or 2. Is thru offensive game plan or how the defense is playing us? I remember some short quick passes, one to montgomery in particular that i think lost 2-3 yards, so they don't always work. The defense might be ready for it.
We need to run the table and we will !!!!
