It's a Quarterback driven league


Recommended Posts

here's the thing about that Seattle/GB game.... they battered Rogers, they beat up Rogers, they held Rogers in check....

 

Then he won the game for Green Bay.... before the refs stole it away

 

Seattle, as much as they dominated, could not score.

 

The Packers did zero in the first half offensively because they tried to throw the ball and ignored the run. They only ran the ball 3 times and one of those was a wide receiver reverse. They had zero points and 88 yards offense in the first half.

 

In the second half they took the opening kickoff and drove 80 yards for a field goal in a drive which featured 7 runs by Cedric Benson. On their next drive, an 88 yard field goal drive, they handed the ball to Benson 3 more times.

 

On their next drive, Benson carried the ball 3 more times including the TD run.

 

In the second half, after balancing the offense (forcing Seattle to actually play some run D instead of pinning their ears back) the Packers generated 180 yards offense and 12 points.

 

If Rodgers would have continued to throw on every down, he would have continued to get pummeled like he was in the first half.

 

And Seattle's offense looks like a college offense.

 

Russell Wilson didn't look very good but it's hard to evaluate him right now because the Seahawks either don't trust him or their offense is simply too simple to succeed in the NFL.
