This is probably going to bite me in the rear end, but I didn't think the Vikings looked incredible. The 49ers could've easily won that game with a few less dropped passes by your receivers... and I don't think the 49ers are a particularly good team. Vikings are good, certainly, but not terrifying.

The only way to win is to play aggressively and pile on so many points and take so much time off the clock that he physically can't come back. This is doubly funny because this has been the source of many Packers losses over the past decade, Fat Mike going "Eh, good enough," and relaxing and then they come back. 2014 NFCCG in particular. I think it's just a symptom of the NFL as a whole, honestly, coaches suddenly relaxing and trying to conserve energy for inexplicable reasons instead of winning winning winning.

The way that second to last Bears drive ended, you felt it in your bones that it was over. Safe football doesn't work there, this is a team who's beaten you silly year in and year out. It was seriously amazing how it just played out exactly how you knew it was going to.

Trubisky repeatedly made awful decisions in the second half. There was a play that stuck out where he was in the pocket and most of the action was to his right, but he had a back set up to his left a few yards downfield in a reasonable amount of space. Trubisky could've made a quick pass for a good 5-6 yard gain, with a chance for more if the back can break a tackle — but he doesn't, and instead he starts scrambling left. So, okay, the back sees Trubisky's running, and he comes back and sets up a decent block to make a lane outside. Now Trubisky can take that for maybe 3-4 yards depending on the angle — but instead he goes inside the block, and of course the defender just comes off the block and tackles him for no gain. Over and over, he took a manageable situation and made the least of it. Just awful.

I mean, wouldn’t “playing it safe” have been calling running plays to try and burn clock which probably would have won them the game? Much like Atlanta in the Super Bowl?

"let's play conservatively and run the ball to burn the clock" still makes sense if you're a very strong running team however, that is an extreme rarity now - virtually no team in the modern nfl can reliably generate good running plays if the defense knows they're running like, coaches have figured out it's a passing league, but haven't quite adjusted to the necessary distaff, which is that the running game is now situational and not to be relied upon the 60s packers could run into a stacked box, the 70s steelers could run into a stacked box, the 80s washington teams could run into a stacked box. teams in 2018 can't do this. teams aren't built that way anymore (even if you're a defense-first team like the jaguars or bears) and the game doesn't work that way anymore this is partly due to defensive advances, partly due to the evolution of the offensive line into a more specialized pass-blocking role, partly due schematic trends - most offenses just don't have a mechanism for reliable down-blocking on 8 box defenders. tl;dr: running is fake, the rule is ABC (Always Be Chucking) PupsOfWar fucked around with this message at 06:30 on Sep 10, 2018 |

The calls to run more was because Trubisky looked petrified in the 2nd half and was unwilling to throw the ball downfield. Calling a passing play that wasn't a screen just resulted in him scrambling around in hopes of getting a 3 yard gain. I'm not a big "ground and pound" guy but when your QB sucks, it's sometimes all you have. Also they had 3rd and 1 at the end of the game. Two chances to get a single loving yard running the ball behind an offensive line that is pretty good at run blocking (plus a QB who can run). They chose to pass and kick a FG.

My only consolation about Aaron Rodgers bullshit is that he seems to pull it off more often against the Bears than the Lions. Even so I will never feel sorry for the Packers after the way they've played my entire life. mcmagic posted:At least Aaron Rodgers is not an evil piece of Trumpist poo poo who cheats and kisses kids on the mouth.

If another team was capable of having their season wrecked by the Dolphins, then they weren't going to have much of a season anyway. So don't feel bad! What was it like at the game? Did concessions begin to run out? Did they cut off beer sales? Or did everyone just go through cycles of being sloppy, bored, sobering, and tired?

SHOAH NUFF posted:Spin up the new set of Mahomes gifs, someone There are some good gifs, which I'd imagine will not be a problem since KC has not had a quarterback this exciting since at least the corpse of Montana. Even if he flames out it seems likely there will be highlights. Mahomes looked promising, he made some bad decisions although half of those were in the running game somehow (don't give him that many options to work with yet please, Andy. Especially if he's going to run into getting pasted into the turf by large men that often). This was his prettiest pass yesterday in my opinion, we know he can laser things in there but there's just enough touch on this: https://twitter.com/NFLFilmStudy/status/1038914324675354629 Also an Andy Reid fancy playcalling highlight that will stop working by midseason if it doesn't stop working next week: https://twitter.com/RealMNchiefsfan/status/1038972822415175680 The Chargers were so screwed up Kelce doesn't even have anything to do other than stand there on this play. They ran it again for a TD later on to Tyreek Hill. ... ... My loving god the defense is trash. Rivers absolutely should have thrown for 500 yesterday and should have had a chance at the single game record. So many drops.
