    More Banjo: Week 3 vs Lions

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I read on Twitter that everyone hurt came back in. I think that report was obviously wrong for Cook.

    But Martinez and Randall did come back after leaving the field.

    Aaron Rodgers: It's a good win for us. Division opponent. Nice to be back home after several weeks on the road.

    Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 46s47 seconds ago
    Rodgers: Jordy & I connected. Whenever we're doing that it kind of opens things up for the offense. #DETvsGB

    Green Bay Packers ‏@packers 27m27 minutes ago
    Rodgers on #Packers offense: I care about winning. We need to harness that feeling we had in the first half & keep doing that stuff.

    Rodgers on Week 4 bye: Not a big fan of it, but it comes at a good time for us health-wise.

    Randall should have stayed in the Locker room

    IMO the reason Detroit stayed in the game was because the Lions took advantage of our extremely thin D line, no CM3 and 2 starting DBs out.

    It also helped them that stubby took his foot of the gas, yet again.

    Is this a thing that happens to all NFL teams? Is it human nature to relax, or is it the prevent defense and the conservative playcalling?

    I get, to some extent, backing off on defense so you don't get burned for a quick touchdown. But wait, didn't that happen anyway? It wasn't until the end of the game, when Dom went back to a more aggressive defense and MM let Rodgers throw that slant to Adams, that they salted it away.

    That second half kinda took some of the joy out of that game.

    This is just wrong.

    Detroit was eating up possession in the second half with long sustained drives (due to Packers thin D).

    We had one drive stall for a FG due to a holding penalty.

    One drive end due to a drop by Cobb

    Another drive basically end due to a Trevor Davis drop

    In the above drives McCarthy called excellent plays, I believe. You want to run the clock out and put the team in manageable 3rd down distances. That was achieved but the players did not execute as well as they should have.

    On the final drive Lacy made some great runs to end the game.

    Now please explain to us how the foot was taken off the gas? Should we throw every single play and eat up only 20 seconds off the clock on a drive? Then we will be reading posts from you about how the play calling sucks and McCarthy didn't feed Lacy who had a great day?
    I am better looking than you.

    Dang, Arclite. All that factual recounting. You're messing me up, man.

    Sorry.

    Would hate to get in the way of a good 'Fire McCarthy' narrative

    but we didn't eat time off the clock, and they destroyed us in the TOP battle

    not to mention we saw a-rod going back to looking for the deep balls too many times

    sure you could sit there and blame the lack of offense in the second half on 3 plays. but the fact is, we came out with a different game plan both on offense and defense in the second half.

    why stop what was working so well in the first half?

    a rod was 3-6 for 31 yards in the second half.

    does that look anywhere close to the same type of output we had in the first half?

    you have to have balance on offense. i think we called 9 pass plays the whole half

    and we called somewhere around 12 or 13 runs (not counting kneel downs and qb scrambles or sacks)

    so we did go run heavy in the second

    I don't want to see McCarthy fired. If he got fired, he'd have a new job in about two minutes.

    I just want to bitch.

    Though I am happy they won, and in the big picture, honestly, it's a win without a bunch of starters, and you could say the team just let down.

    But that baseless bitching sure was fun.

    Okay, double post, but I don't care. Here's what Jeff Seidel of the Detroit Free Press wrote after the game:


    "The Packers were tougher. They were smarter. And they were better coached, jumping out to a 31-3 lead."

    Wow. Tough? Smart? Well-coached?

    Maybe we're all too inside our heads. Or maybe the Lions just suck really bad. I don't know.

    and i call that mike sherman syndrome

    both of the last 2 mikes are very similar IMO, both did next to nothing as far as coaching was concerned, both just rode HOF QB's to success

    many packer fans couldn't believe we could get rid of such a winning coach as sherman. he did jack squat after leaving green bay BTW

    hell, if a lot of packer fans had their way, sherman would probably still be the head coach. and the sad thing is, we probably would have won just as many super bowls in that timeframe
