    My thought exactly. I would gladly have my #3 WR covered by the other teams #1. That should open everyone else up. I think part of the problem was they need to go to the TE even more.

    Hell, the O would move the ball pretty well but had long fields all night. After a couple of first downs we would still be punting from our 35 and Mastay had some bad punts and couldn't flip the field position battle.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    I just checked the box score. The O never went 3 and out all night. They just couldn't sustain long drives.

    I wonder if that is related to the 4th Quarter comeback question. Someone pointed out McCarthy lamenting he did not get to his big shot plays due to game circumstance and down and distance.

    If you take the Packers big play away (either coverage or pass rush) they can struggle launching 12 play scoring drives. While they have them (and last year might have had more with Lacy and a hurt Rodgers than typical) I would bet its not as common as some other dominant offenses.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    If McCarthy wants to run 65-70 plays a game you need some longer drives. But I think the O is built around longer plays not 4 yards a play and 6 first downs on the way to scoring.

    It would help also if your D stopped yielding first downs on penalties.

    And Rodgers is in cahoots with MM who doesn't want win because he isn't responsible to an owner and TT who is too arrogant to admit a mistake with his draft picks.

    Im watching SD v Seattle and Rivers is challenging the ENTIRE defense and looking awfully good...he threw at Sherman 3 times in the 1st half and completed all 3!!

    His WR Allen is looking impressive v Sherman and the play calling has been not only great but exciting as well!!
    Brandon Marshall, MAN...!!

    Rivers is a very ballsy QB, he doesn't back down from anyone. Which at times can be a detriment, but imo it has more upside than down.

    Chargers' Keenan @Keenan13Allen Allen on Richard Sherman: "He's just a normal guy. We're gonna go @ him. He's not really a shut down corner"

    I'm sure Sherman just needs to adjust his adderall dosage and everything will be all right.

    The most exposed player on that defense last night was Chancellor not Sherman. They took their shots at Sherman but in the end it was for what? 54 yards?

    Kam Chancellor will have nightmares about Antonio Gates this week.

    Very nice breakdown by Matt Bowen here: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...for-nfl-week-2

    Funny, but the "exposed" Sherman doesn't feature in this TD.
