Two tackles and one assist and one bone-headed penalty that cost us a win, and that against a backup tackle for much of the game. I'm not seeing a pretty good game there. I am going to respectfully disagree.sho nuff said:
Running the ball at that late in the game is not conservative. Running the ball forces Vikings to use timeouts, that they had to move the ball down the field. Packers ran the ball pretty good at times during the game and once again McCarthy goes away from it. McCarthy gives a lot of lips service to the run game, but quickly goes to the pass game. IF Rodgers is switching the plays then he needs to be educated on clock management and not to switch to pass plays.
I disagree when you have a below average running game and the best QB in the game it is. If Kendrick’s doesn’t make a great play in the end zone they ice the game away, And I’m no MM apologist I think he’s overrated and made his career off Rodgers.
Penalty was officiating more than boneheaded and he had preset ethat led to other sacks or quick grows on other plays.
No. It was a bonehead play. He learned absolutely nothing from doing almost the same thing one week earlier.
Except last week he was later, he launched himself and got the qb high. The two plays were as different as possible.
Situational awareness. That's the common theme. He's a step slower and he hasn't and won't adjust to it. It's hurting the team.
At least it wasn’t in Minnesota with that stupid horn.I'm really glad that we didn't lose today, even though this should have been a "W". Can't say how much I hate the Vikings. Or the players. Or the coaches. Or the fans. Except some of the fans on this board.
True. GoPackGo is insanely lame. But that horn might be the #####-ist thing in the entire NFL.
Horn is bad or panther noise in Carolina, some others have some bird screech...and don’t get me started on lame NFL fight songs like it’s college.
Sure, but not equally. Jimmy Graham non-PI call, Davante Adams phantom push off. And let's be honest here, this poor call changed the game from a Packers win to a tie.Heatman said:
They make rules and see what happens now. Kind of like Nascar did about 15 years ago. How'd that work out?
Actually if you want to be honest, we still have no idea how the game would have ended. That's why they play it out.
1:45 left, Packers up 8 with the ball..yeah, we have a pretty darn good idea how the game would have ended.
I do not think the call was justified... but neither was the "low" or late hit on Rodgers at the end of the first half that kept that drive going and lead to a FG. He tackled him a the waist and did not hit him with his helmet. I think both calls stunk and NFL needs to figure this out. The officials are determining the outcome of games and that blows.
The call on the Vikings was closer to a true "roughing the passer" moment. In that case, the defender actually drove Rodgers into the ground. Clearly.
I mostly agree Alex - It was closer, but I think they called it a low hit. I could be wrong on that. Either way - just like Clay, neither could hold up. I think they are both no calls.
The call against Minnesota didn’t keep a drive going. It was the first play of the drive...and there was a defensive holding cal in that play too.
He's not getting into the backfield, getting sacks or TFL's like he did in 2016, but he does draw a crowd. Opposing OL's are always focused on him, and it seems he never takes a play off, always fighting.
True. I just want a splash play or two every other game or so. Same with Wilkerson. I thought he would be more impactful, but maybe its coming.
You must not have watched the low lights of Stafford so far this year..
ucks incoming shoes from Lion fans: I'm hoping he maintains his current level of play when the Packers face the Lions. The thing is, he will likely et things squared away again.You must not have watched the low lights of Stafford so far this year..
I mean Tommy Kramer would be the second best Q.B. in Bears history, had he been a Bear.
I worked at the Horse track (Canterbury Downs) in Minnesota nearing the end of the Tommy days...
I partied with a few of those Vikings back in those days. The eighties were a weird decade, frankly no one was sober for the entire decade except those a-holes who really needed to get drunk and get blown, Donald Rumsfeld types.
The things I saw and heard from him there explained his downhill roll...
hint .. he was DEFINITELY the guy on the right
Common theme: despite ditching Don Capers, opposing QBs have a career day versus our defense
