I tended to think the way things went was somewhat of an advantage to the Packers. Their #1CB covering your #3 WR should be very beneficial. It meant Cobb across the middle and Jordy on the other sideline had better chances, and for a while it looked like Jordy was going to have a big night, a few catches on a drive that resulted in a TD. That seemed to taper off, I couldn't quite sort out what happened, did they give the CB covering him help?

Is it true that we NEVER threw in Sherman's direction at all Thursday night?
Yes. But I have a better question. Why on God's green earth would you waste throws to Boykin wrapped up with Sherman when Cobb and Nelson are getting nickel CBs and the new guy?Originally Posted by Pugger
I would be more concerned if they never threw to that side of the field period.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
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.

Rivers was BALLN! made sherman look pedestrian! Hopefully in the NFCCG ScareRon Rodgers will make amends for week one foolishness
Brandon Marshall, MAN...!!

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.

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.

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.

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.
70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.

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

Manning is challenging Sherman as well, with success!!

It's clearly paying off for the Broncos.
