Thread: More Banjo: Week 4 vs. New Orleans

    You know I was thinking that maybe the owners and players shot themselves in the foot by negotiating all these practice rules in the CBA. It's probably affecting the quality of product that's put on the field Sundays and might also have something to do with all the injuries. Ultimately, both wind up diminishing interest in the games and NFL attendance/profits suffer.
    Many teams have substituted Saturday for Friday. Total number of padded practices are the same for all teams. So its not a net gain. Supposed to allow for peak performance on Sunday.

    Regards time, place and amounts of padded practices, AKA live fire.

    Don't know for sure, but seems to fit.
    That's it, mandated four days off, Thursday through Sunday.

    Article 24
    Section 2.
    Bye Weeks: During any regular season bye week period occurring during the term of this Agreement, players will be given a minimum of four consecutive days off. Such four-day period must include a Saturday and a Sunday unless the Club is scheduled to play a game on the Thursday following the bye week, in which case players may be required to report to the Club on the Sunday preceding the Thursday game. In such an event, the four-day period shall be Wednesday through Saturday. Any injured player may be required to undergo medical or rehabilitation treatment during such four-day period provided that such treatment is deemed reasonably necessary by the Club’s medical staff.

    So the announcer was wrong. It was probably Collingsworth.

    Anyway, my point's still valid, isn't it? These millionaire players are featherbedding!
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Job #1 is keeping Rodgers upright. Jones needed work.
    Jones did a great job blocking yesterday from what I saw.

    He knocked his guy down once even while falling himself.

    He's willing and that is half the battle.

    Over on Footballs Future there is a great thread in the Packers' subforum of a poster breaking down Hundley's plays in Sunday's game. There were some nice plays called by Stubby that Hundley missed on.

    Saw this quote from MM yesterday:

    McCarthy added: "You know, Madden Football screwed this whole thing up. It was a much better gig before. Everybody knows football so well now.

    We know where the game plan and halftime adjustments come from now.

    sounds like sarcasm to me! Stubby gettin' testy. I'm betting that Golden Corral buffet didn't go down so well Sunday night...

    Nice clips they have.

    I forgot that Nelson went in motion on that Cobb/Jones Read Option and that Adams 8 yard catch on 3rd and 18 was a crossing route.

    There is always hope.

    You're linking to another forum??? You're in trouble now. Mad's gonna ban you....
    No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

    I listened to the game on Sunday, just watched the end of it this morning. As inconsistent as Hundley and the offense were, they still lead 17-16 with 14:46 to go in the game. Following a kickoff, NO had the ball at their own 14. The game was there to be won.

    The defense did nothing to win the game.
    The offense did nothing to win the game.
    STs negated a decent kickoff return with a penalty to put the offense at their own 10 yard line, and had a penalty on a punt.

    Embarassing 4th quarter for the entire team.

    I don't understand what happened with the solid players on 'O'? Where was the play calling and these guys?

    Why weren't there more plays to WR's Jordy Nelson, Devanta Adams, Randall Cobb and even Martellus Bennett?

    Where are the 10-20 yards crossing routes and shallow Hook Patterns? What happened to the Screen Pass?

    It's pretty obvious now that Aaron Jones is the REAL RB and that he has good hands and can even attempt and complete Blocks. Clearly Aaron Jones is our NO. 1 RB. Still MM has to somehow use TY Montgomery in passing plays when the opposing teams Safety is drawn to the LOS and get the ball to him over the top of the LBers.

    Why not use an Offensive set splitting Aaron Jones and Ty Montgomery to draw the opposing teams 'D' to the outside and then use Aaron Ripkowski to run through the middle?

    Where's Mike McCarthy's imagination and any real hope of winning a football game?


    I get the part and Brett Hundley and Conservative to protect the ball (Picks).I get not showing us much of an arm and the deep pass. All the same Brett Hundley has to pass for more than 150 yards in the NFL to have any decent chance of winning and < 100 Yards = ridiculous play calling.

    To be honest, I am more frustrated with the D and STs. The O lost it's leader, yet they put together an effective running game. At times Hundley did some good things. I didn't expect much more. They had a lead to start the 4th quarter, and NO was at their own 14. A stop by the D could have given GB some control. it took them 60 yards to make the "stop", holding the saints to a FG. The possession was only 8 plays, yet Matthews and Perry apparently had to be rested for a couple of the big ones. If these guys are worth their salaries, where were they?

    I hear ya. But I did see Khalil Mack on the sideline for a critical play the other night too.

    75 plays on Defense versus 50 on offense and missing Brooks has costs.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
