    Love the commitment to the run.
    Nope. There was a stupid time out. Couldn't make them jump offside so had to burn one.

    Pay attention.

    That was on Rodgers though. They did seem to be doing a better job of getting the plays in on time.

    I don't think that TO was a mistake at all. I think the plan was to draw D offsides and if they get 'em throw the bomb. There was single coverage on the outside. After the TO, I believe they changed personnel. I'll check.

    He used two separate hard cadences there, seemed like it was the plan.

    Evidently McCarthy made this change last Monday. I don't recall hearing anything about it until this morning! This was one well kept secret for sure.

    They did. It was Starks. Then it was Lacy after TO.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Anyone think we saw different plays or even sequences of plays?

    This looked like execution to me. Especially O line this week. Decent protection against a talented front four (and some blitzing for some reason) and a run game.

    Also saw some of same problems versus man coverage. Not sure team is out of woods yet. Monty will help more.

    Rodgers admitted there were more plays called Sunday that didn't feature check-offs at the line of scrimmage that allow him to change from a run to a pass or a pass to run. It's an indication McCarthy has taken more control of the offense and wants his plays run.

    Asked if he feels like he can still check out of plays, Rodgers said, "I still have the opportunity to get us in the best situation possible when I see it."
    This makes a lot of sense.

    This was my perception. I don't know enough or at least don't track the playcalling closely enough to know if the playcalls were really very much different than what they'd been doing. But what I did see were holes, big holes, to run through.

    For all the joy in Whoville, too, that offense from the end of the second quarter through the third - five punts in a row - looked like the same offense we've been watching for much of the season. So where was Stubby's playcalling magic during that stretch??

    I don't know, I thought the play calling was very different. Seemed to take advantage of Cobb more, getting him in matchups he could win. Stuck with run game for the most part. Seemed to run to get in 3rd and shorts, instead of running to set up the pass. Used the screen game extensively against a over aggressive front. I liked what I saw, but this team needs Adams to get healthy or his head out his ass if they want to take it up a notch....Monty will help a ton, he seemed to really be a matchup nightmare...

    I agree about sticking with the run, but that is easy if you are averaging nearly 5 yards per carry.

    But do we really need both an Associate HC/offense and an OC?

    Offensively yes, Dallas stinks but their defense is not to bad. They are in the top 10 in total yards allowed.

    Especially if neither one is responsible for the offensive game plan and play calling?

    I would prefer they do anything they can to get Edgar back in front of the WRs.

    Really? We were averaging more than that against Chicago, but the OC decided to throw, throw, throw, throw, throw.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
