These are for specifically short-yardage downs, Roethlisberger throws it deep about as often as Rodgers does, just not on short downs

Hey speaking of which, how has Vernon been in NY?

he's been amazing against the run and was whipping every OT he faced in the preseason in both the run and pass game, of course, being a Giant, he filled out the questionnaire they give all incoming free agents and draft picks for what random injury he wanted to suffer before the season started and he chose his wrist. So he's barely practiced all year leading up to every game and it's obviously effecting him in games because he's not getting much work done in the passing game.

JPP also chose to injure his shoulder in week 1 and hasn't been the same player either, but both he and OV refuse to come off the field so they've played a ton of snaps at half effectiveness. Unfortunately none of the rotational DEs have stepped up at all so the Giant pass rush basically depends on one of them getting healthy at some point.

I am not entirely sure if that's actually telling us the correct thing or if 'pass deep' in the query is just based on how the play worked out? Surely there has to be something there or it wouldn't return any incompletions. But if it is correct Alex ought to try that a little more often.

Mariota has had some periods where he has just looked goddamn awesome that Dak really hasn't had yet, but Dak hasn't had the total spaz moments that Mariota continues to have either.

The Cowboys, God help me, are so much better run top to bottom than the Titans that it's hard to compare them fairly. The Titans are mismanaged at nearly a Browns level of stupid and lazy, while the Cowboys seem to be doing a good job of keeping Jerry away from everything but the executive liquor cabinet and Garrett is boringly mediocre rather than disastrously idiotic.

I haven't been super-serious so far but Mariota's highs were his 4-td first game against the Bucs' abysmal pass defense last year and another 4-td game against the Saints' historically bad defense last year. You'll excuse me if I hold my enthusiasm for a guy who put up a 91.5 rating against some of the league's worst defenses last year

I'm always surprised the Packers have somehow only won one Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. I suppose it's not technically a waste since they did win one, but considering he has the best stats of all time up to this point I feel like they should be a dynasty.

2011 still makes me mad with how unrepentantly awful the defense was, yet the offense buzzsawed through the entire league. And the one time the offense finally stumbles, it's in the playoffs. What a missed opportunity that season was. But, I can't actually get too mad because watching Rodgers just bomb it deep every single game for endless touchdowns was a wonder.

If you watched the games this season though Rodgers just hasn't really looked right. He's always been able to make amazingly ridiculous throws from body positions that no other quarterback in the league could do. This year, he's been really off target on most of those types of scramble throws. I almost wonder if this is just him getting older.

My uneducated impression of the current-day Packers is that they're a good organization overall, but the game-day coaching is mediocre without being outright terrible in a way that gets a lot of publicity, so they underachieve just enough to gently caress themselves out of deeper playoff runs.

Of course the attempts are super low, I didn't expect him to have good numbers in whatever few attempts he had though. If we expanded that out to all situations instead of super low down and distance I'm sure he's appropriately ugly because man does he miss wide open guys. Oh hell let's do it.

Still better than I expected but at least a little more in line. 223/534 41.7% 33 TD 29 INT.

We should also keep in mind that 'deep' in this situation is only 15 yards in the air. If I had a way to change that to 25 I'd expect the both the attempts and the good numbers to go down.

i imagine the routes he throws are different as well, and the ones hes going to go for are only going to be high % ones cause hes not comfortable with it. with andy reid specifically it would not be shocking if hes throwing those as counters to other plays they are running on short distance all game, altho thats just entirely speculation.

The 2014 team was very good, but I think the 2016 defense is straight up a few tiers better than the 2014 defense. This defense is actually really good, and if Sam Shields doesn't get any more concussions (:() the pass defense may step up to be competitive alongside the run defense.

The writeup that I linked that kicked this whole discussion off argues that the offense will get back into sync as the season progresses, and blames lack of preseason practice for Rodgers and his receivers being badly out of sync. As the season has gone on the offense has looked better and better (at least before the second half).

I'm not going to make any doomsayer proclamations at least until the second divisional loss :v:

This topic came up a few years ago and just like today back then it was concluded that Alex Smith's deep ball was actually pretty solid, his coaches just straight up forbade him to throw deep for some reason.

kakarot ain't got shit on me

Only ahead of the Browns and behind the Jets, Texans, and Rams. I really hope they fix this. McCarthy's conservative nature once they get a lead + aggressiveness on 3rd and short doesn't really add up and maybe there is some truth to the idea that they should play to keep drives alive rather than look for the big play so much. Rodgers seems to have regressed somewhat on deep balls.

Maybe the answer is to get more creative with playcalling in general?

I will say that I think the Packers offensive woes are overstated. The defense looks better than its been in years and will make it less of an issue that the offense isn't scoring 30 points a game. The game this weekend against Dallas will tell us more about what to expect come January.
