for sure. Schematically it still worked but that doesn’t mean it was optimal execution. That said it likely underscores just how correct the style of play was as even with sub optimal execution the result was a two score win with no real pressure or pain.

yes, he’s arguing we should’ve aggressively pursued a scheme that catered to the only route that could’ve realistically given the packers a chance to win because of…. Principles? Pride?

rodgers has two weapons, a sheet of paper and an old musket. Neither likely to kill us but I’ll take the paper cuts to avoid the possibility of the musket getting a few shots off accurately one had no chance of winning, the other was simply a long shot. We let them go with the no chance.

it’s never the goal to allow 7 per carry but when missing 3 elite players in the secondary, and protecting a 3 score lead, I’m sure they weren’t losing too much sleep about it. You keep the safeties back protecting the big play and if you give up a couple 10 yard runs so be it.

How many of those? How many shorter? How much time comes off the clock for a stuffed run vs an incomplete pass? 20 - 2 - 3 - 10 rushing is 2 minutes for 35 yards and low risk of the blown play 60 yard touchdown 20 -incomplete - incomplete - 15 is 1 minute for 35 yards

Yuuup. I’ll trade 10 yards for 30 seconds of clock every time when you are up 3 scores in the 4th. yet alone the times it was 2 yards for 30 seconds. The only risk is that they start throwing and those chunks get bigger and the clock gets stopped when they fail. to say the bills were afraid of the packers wide receivers wasn’t the case. They just had zero fear of them running.

the packers never were. it’s like the old stat where the bills were basically winless when Scott chandler had a big game. the packers were going never going to win with running their way out of a 3 score deficit. Let them run!

also, 7 minute drives that aren’t consistently finishing are gold when you are up 3 scores. with a depleted secondary, an extra vet corner isn’t terrible. Let them get 100 carries at 5-6 yards a clip and 30 seconds of clock at that point

mckenzie has 3 touches for 10 yards and a TD let’s not get too crazy about him

he made a play! Fit him for a jacket!

it’s not a can they or not. they can. its a matter of does it move their odds from 20% to 25% as even that is huge

every year this board would say “omg how did that contender afford that” and now it’s time for us to be that contender

I think every game has been picked in the first 10 or so posts?

I didn’t think we were supposed to discuss the secret board threads.

I didn’t realize how bad the stats were… just knew that I’m never comfortable. How is he still back there

we have seen plenty of guys that can make a play but aren’t players. to be even on the practice squad you have to be a pretty capable specimen. He should show flashes. He shouldn’t show so many poor plays

“has come through for us before” is a bit much. He’s an nfl player. Of course he has caught a few balls. Patriots game aside he’s shown only flashes of the upside and has also had so many issues that he was benched. We aren’t a 5-11 team and he is a lot of risk for very modest rewards

though we see dozens of balls any given game that pull guys away fro coverage, hits etc… he’s pointing out has he simply executed to stop it would’ve been a perfectly normal placement but because he tripped it made the placement seem more extreme than it would’ve looked with the receiver staying on his feet

who was the last meaningful mid season OL move in the league?

the flip side, chad Pennington could never become him. He’s become special because he has the arm, legs and brain

That is what November and December are for.

we are liable to pay him hundreds of thousands for those 3 games! The horror, to help bolster our roster for a run.

he cares way to much about his legacy to do that.

im still surprised he wasn’t trucking and hurdling guys from “southwest northeastern central square state university” think cam newton when he was in juco for instance

their defense will be “I am not a doctor, we allowed him to choose to follow what multiple doctors confirmed as an approved path”
