Dang yo.....what a shitshow.

Dang yo.....what a shitshow.

Game or thread?

Problem here is the biggest error was not technique related at all. He has a leverage and gap to pay and he bailed on it to make a solo tackle. He has to keep that guy from escaping outside. Whatever lick he laid on him, it should have been outside in. SO if he escapes its back into Dix's help.

Go to the 30 second mark. Don't tell me diving at folks feet is how Perry teaches his safeties to tackle.

[pbmax]

No, that was WAY too tentative and he broke down too far from the WR.

[George Cumby]

Game or thread?

Both.

[mraynrand]

How are those rules working out? Why does just about every other forum blacklist him?

because they are far more rigid than PR. I thought that was what made this forum 'great' - the ability to handle all types of strangeness and irritations.

Quit making excuses. That was Exhibition 1 for Fundamentally Unsound Tackle, or to quote the layman (which I am NOT, btw), diving at people's feet.

Btw, I doubt the little Gulls receiver would've knocked Dix off his socks had Dix tried to tackle him the Claymaker way.

Not to get into the feud, but Clinton-Dix needs to keep his head up when tackling and wrap up. He needs to not be so excited to make the big hit.

Probably good advice for any young DB, Dep.

When people comment on the erosion of tackling in football these days, I always bring up ESPN.

The desire of the young boys to make a blow-up tackle and look like the guys on the highlight reel causes many guys to miss their assignment.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Both.

That reminds me of an old commercial staring my childhood hero, Prime Time.

c'mon down, darlin' and get kissed by Richard Dawson!

KyPack has been blacklisted by other forums?
I intend to dog that criminal until he's out of this one.

You can run, KY, I will find you.
you broke the rules, you know it too.

Your cheatin heart will make you weep,
You'll cry and cry, and try to sleep,
But sleep won't come, the whole night through,
Your cheatin heart, will tell on you...

This shit gets better and better.

[sharpe1027]

I saw nothing much wrong with Dix's tackle technique. He should not be going high on a RB. The only problem is that he gave up outside contain. Even that was only because of a great spin move. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.

Could be worse, he could be MD Jennings

Here's a thought:

It's generally acknowledged that the Pack could afford to lose either NE OR the Buff game. What would your thoughts be had they lost to NE and won vs. Buff?

The reality is NE is going to the playoffs and I don't think Buff is. Which game is a truer test?

This isn't great, but it's not a death knell, either.

Agreed. No one likes a loss, and it was a clusterf*_!k on the whole, but if anything's going to light a fire under Rodgers, who loves to have that chip on his shoulder, this should be it. And Jordy's going to shed that sackcloth too and blow up for the rest of the season.

It's not a death knell - the offense will likely not score 38 in the post-season, but they will score more than 13, most likely. The defense did its part, recovering from the second-half mess of last week.

However, we can only hope that somehow, miraculously, and it would be miraculously, the ST figures out how to block on field goal and extra point attempts, and learns how to tackle on kickoffs and punts.

The ST was the scariest part of all this, as we move ahead.

That road game yesterday was a true test. The rich spoils of a win there were all in sight and today those spoils are seemingly all but lost.

It sure appears to me that New England is the team to beat in the AFC. New England was an ultimate challenge when they arrived at Lambeau field. It was our house and our team got it done. New England lost that game and didn't really lose a step towards their mission to win the Super Bowl.


Losing yesterday in Buffalo possibly could be crushing.
