Meh, the refs were bad to both teams all night. Especially that not-quite-a-catch off the ground by the fullback. Hard to take it personally. Packers lost that game themselves by being stupid in goal line situations. If in those 1-yard-line situations they run the ball, they probably score 14 more points.

Yeah the refs were atrocious but I didn’t feel like it was slanted in favor of either team. The loss lands pretty firmly on the coaching staff. The play calling was downright bizarre tonight.

Aaron Jones on 1st and 2nd downs doesn't really work, he's slippery but he's not really a tackle buster. I will say though I'm confused why they didn't hand it to Vitale in the red zone. Dude is huge and jacked, he could easily break a couple tackles.

I'm talking myself into the idea that the chiefs are going to have one of the two or three lovely games that every good team seems to have in a season against the lions. Makes sense: the lions beat a contender, we get our hopes up that maybe, just maybe, they are for real this time, and they proceed to get destroyed by every team except the bears for the rest of the way. I could also see taking a loss, winning the next five or something, then making GBS threads the bed until the post season as well.

Pokemaster #421 posted:So I think tonight is going to be a decent barometer of how the packers are coming along. The defense will finally play a good qb, even if the receiving corps are a little banged up, and almost certainly the best oline so far this year. If the Smith's can perform somewhat close to how they have been that will be an excellent indicator that they will be a force to reckon with all season. What a beautiful and well composed post. Deeply unfortunate that your fears were all confirmed, though, chap.

That is pretty danged bad news. I think Adams has the best first steps in all of football and obv that's gonna gently caress that up but good. Also I didnt notice last night but did Goodson start playing more? Hes been here a few weeks now so I would think they should be throwing him out there by now to help in the middle of the field. Because we might really need help there. Like a lot of help

Packers are fool's gold. They've been exposed. Not having Adams or Williams is going to torpedo the offense, and the defense seems to be utterly incapable of stopping any run. Looks like 8-8 is best case scenario.

It's a weird injury because sometimes people play through it and it will linger, but shutting him down for a week or 2 might be a good idea so he can come back at 100%

I think some people are overreacting to a loss, kinda like we were overreacting a little to a string of wins. We were one tipped catch away from tying the game up last night, and Wentz's a really good quarterback.

Run defense really needs work but the passing defense is fantastic. Offense sans never loving running looked good too. Hopefully Adams isn't too hurt. Hopefully Williams didn't have his career ruined. Thursday games are lovely and I'm not going to take too much away from it. They had the ball within the five twice and ran once. The game was theirs to lose and they did.

Also, isn't there some weird stat for TNF where the team who has been with their coach the longest tends to win? It has something to do with the abbreviated time to practice/prepare. Like opening the season with a Thursday night game is fine, but after that... there should only be Thursday games between two teams who had a bye the previous week. Everyone knows TNF sucks.

i think the goal-line pass playcall is more sensible than the one in the seahawks-pats superbowl, since aaron jones ain't marshawn lynch and had been stuffed all game or, rather, it would have been more sensible if they'd only done it once rather than repeatedly THAT SAID i dont know why you're carrying a fullback and two blocking-specialist tight ends on the roster if you ain't gonna run the ball on short yardages i understand that they favor williams over jones in short yardage situations and might've run it if williams hadn't got hosed up but you can do other things with your personnel - maybe emulate the old bucs alstott package with vitale at tailback and lewis lead blocking or something anyway rodgers is washed time to blow it up and rebuild

I think the coaches are outthinking themselves. They believe the other teams defense will expect the run on such a short distance so they try to be devious and throw it, when really a run is effective most of the time regardless of expectations.

That said the pass would've been caught if not for two Eagles wrapping themselves around the receiver's arms I'm not too worried.

SKULL.GIF posted:I'm not too worried. My worries: Defense is exposed - can't stop the run. This should've been obvious after the Vikings and Broncos games, so it was somewhat inevitable. What can the coaching staff do to fix the run defense with the guys they have right now? Jimmy Graham - Him catching some good passes and a TD last night means that they're going to keep trying to get him involved for the rest of the season, and for every good play he makes, he seems to make a boner play (which is a better good:boner ratio than last seasons at least?). Running game - Packers need both Williams and Jones. If Williams is out, it looks like the running game is shut down. Aaron Rodgers looks better every game, but he needs dudes he can through to, and Adams having a turf toe injury is going to have a huge impact for the rest of the season.

LabyaMynora posted:My worries: I think part of the issue here is that the defense has been selling out against the pass, so they're naturally going to give up a lot more running yards. The other part is broken tackles. The former is a conscious coaching decision, the latter I don't think can be coached fixable in only 2-3 months remaining. One thing you didn't bring up that I was concerned about last night -- Preston Smith completely vanished in the game last night. Za'Darius had some pressures, Clark was eating up blocks, but I didn't see Preston's name called all night unless I missed it.
