The official Packers VS Redskins game day thread!

[Badgerinmaine]

I'm missing those two time outs now...

[Mr. T]

Perfect coverage! Tramon!!

[Badgerinmaine]

Good coverage TWill :tup:

[imscott72]

tied up..Plenty of time for us and Mason's strong leg..

[Tony Oday]

one minute...one timeout...one dream...only need one point

[pbmax]

That thing was drifting right. Just not enough.

[gex]

I think the not seeing the ball on fg is cause all the red and brown/dark color in the stands

[gbgary]

thank you D. can the O win it late?

[Badgerinmaine]

Come on, Packers. I still have not forgiven the Redskins for the 1972 playoffs. :x :x

[mmmdk]

Tramon is playing way better than Chuck, so far, this season.

[The Leaper]

This is where you love having Crosby...we can try a 60 yarder if necessary.

[Badgerinmaine]

At least Jordy didn't fumble.

[Tony Oday]

anyone else pray every time we return to HOLD ON TO THE BALL?

[mmmdk]

This is where you love having Crosby...we can try a 60 yarder if necessary.

Neil Rackers once kicked a kick off through the uprights - in a game :shock:

[pbmax]

Go OUT OF BOND AARON!

[Jimx29]

I think the not seeing the ball on fg is cause all the red and brown/dark color in the standsthe bigass TV screen playing the same play right behind the endzone doesn't help

[Badgerinmaine]

I love having things in ARod's hands.

[red]

get out of bounds rodgers

what the hell was that?

[Bretsky]

THey had too many guys on the field for the kick ?

Man, that's absoultely inexcusable for a special teams coach to allow that to happen

GET OUT OF BOUNDS AROD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pbmax]

Why didn't he run out of bounds!

[Badgerinmaine]

No time outs left now.

[Jimx29]

I love having things in ARod's hands.not that there's anything wrong with that

[red]

THey had too many guys on the field for the kick ?

Man, that's absoultely inexcusable for a special teams coach to allow that to happen

GET OUT OF BOUNDS AROD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, how do you have the wrong guys out there for a FG?

that shows you the complete mess we are

[Badgerinmaine]

spike it!

[red]

nice play

come on now mase

[pbmax]

Rodgers read the exact blitz that time and called the right protection.

BEAUTIFUL READ ARODGE!

[Tony Oday]

Cmon Crosby!!!

[imscott72]

What a mess that was..COME ON MASON!!

[Bretsky]

THey had too many guys on the field for the kick ?

Man, that's absoultely inexcusable for a special teams coach to allow that to happen

GET OUT OF BOUNDS AROD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah, how do you have the wrong guys out there for a FG?

that shows you the complete mess we are


INCOMPETENCE

[Jimx29]

FUCK ME.........

[imscott72]

NO FUCKING WAY

[pbmax]

Boinked it.

[red]

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gbgary]

omg

[Tony Oday]

FFFFFFFFFFF

[Badgerinmaine]

Good try from 53--but if they hadn't f-up those time outs earlier that would not have been necessary. Damn.

[Bretsky]

Karma

[The Leaper]

That thing could've been good from 70.

SO CLOSE!

[Jimx29]

Good try from 53--but if they hadn't f-up those time outs earlier that would not have been necessary. Damn.or spiked the ball quicker so they could run another play

[red]

DAMNIT!!!!!!!!!

almost

[mmmdk]

Karma

...but karma isn't a bitch - THIS IS !!! :x

[Badgerinmaine]

Well, THAT was an interesting last play.

[The Leaper]

Good try from 53--but if they hadn't f-up those time outs earlier that would not have been necessary. Damn.

If McCarthy had just kicked the FG on 4th and 1, the game would've been over already.

[wist43]

if they win the coin toss... i think it's curtains :(

[pbmax]

Woodson just hurt Trent Williams.

[gbgary]

tails

[mmmdk]

if they win the coin toss... i think it's curtains :(

Most def

[Tony Oday]

OUR BALL!!!!

[pbmax]

Tails never fails but Hall gets HEADS to work.

[mmmdk]

tails

...no heads

[Mr. T]

MVP goes to Hall for winning the OT toss.

[ND72]

FUCK ME.........


If you looked like the girl in your picture, I'm game.

:lol:

[gbgary]

OUR BALL!!!!

[imscott72]

thank GOD we won the toss...

[mmmdk]

thank GOD we won the toss...

...so we won the game too?

[TravisWilliams23]

You think Stubby's done fucking around?

[red]

FUCK ME.........


If you looked like the girl in your picture, I'm game.

even if he just wears a bag over his head so i can pretent he's the girl in his pick i'd be game

[Jimx29]

lets just hang onto the damned ball

[billy_oliver880]

thank GOD we won the toss...

...so we won the game too?

working on it

[gbgary]

slant to jennings to win the game.

[pbmax]

lets just hang onto the damned ball
Agree.

[Jimx29]

I suppose I can hope that Arod calls his own plays at the huddle

[Mr. T]

Hey MM R U N

[mmmdk]

thank GOD we won the toss...

...so we won the game too?

working on it

...have tho looks of a tie to me 8-)

[pbmax]

3 yards and a cloud of dust.

[mmmdk]

slant to jennings to win the game.

...that's what's gonna happen? :shock:

[pbmax]

Carlos Rogers plays a mean CB.

[red]

yikes

[ND72]

I love how we are running all goes....how about we work the ball down the damn field, and actually try to win the fucking ball game, instead of hoping for a home run?

[TennesseePackerBacker]

When will the injuries stop? I hope this isn't a repeat of 2005. Samkon Gado where are you?

[Badgerinmaine]

false start---argh!

[pbmax]

And a penalty. Redskins had Rodgers dead to rights that time.

[imscott72]

son of a bitch

[pbmax]

Clifton couldn't get wide enough.

[Jimx29]

cue the fat lady

[TennesseePackerBacker]

My god. Can we fucking replace Clifton now?

[DannoMac21]

We're gonna lose

[Badgerinmaine]

Yeeeeps.

[Mr. T]

Dagger?

[red]

fucking a

game

[gbgary]

geesh

[ND72]

Redskins need to just win, sick of watching this fucking game. McCarthy can't make any half time adjustments. Just sick of it.

[Jimx29]

another injury

[pbmax]

Who keeps overrunning the punt returner?

And Martin is hurt.

[Badgerinmaine]

a special team penalty for someone else for a change!

[gbgary]

woodson time

[red]

Clifton couldn't get wide enough.

i could have sworn it was #73

[mmmdk]

Dagger?

I'd say we're clubbed!

[TennesseePackerBacker]

I'm glad the Redskins are as equally inept as us.

[Mr. T]

Dagger?

I'd say we're clubbed!
yup

[pbmax]

Poppinga is going nowhere on the pass rush.

[red]

Who keeps overrunning the punt returner?

And Martin is hurt.

bush did it one time, but that wasn't him the last time

[ND72]

we better figure something out quick, cause McNabb doesn't even have to move right now.

[The Leaper]

McCarthy once again shows how badly he gets outcoached at halftime. Packers dominate the first half, then completely disappear in 2nd half.

I'm so tired of it. McCarthy better be on a hot seat right now.

[Jimx29]

i'm hungry. get the loss over with already

[Mr. T]

10 more yards and we don't have to watch this anymore.

[gbgary]

yikes

[Tony Oday]

its over...turn out the lights nothing to see here.

[DannoMac21]

Just get this shit over with

[The Leaper]

we better figure something out quick, cause McNabb doesn't even have to move right now.

Without Clay, our defense is a sitting duck.

[mmmdk]

TT just tweeted: u better believe Leaper!

[red]

10 more yards and we don't have to watch this anymore.

thank god

three straight ugly games

[Mr. T]

we better figure something out quick, cause McNabb doesn't even have to move right now.

Without Clay, Harris, Barnett, Chillar, Burnett, backup DT's our defense is a sitting duck.

Fixed

[Badgerinmaine]

Make 'em have to punt. Come on, D

[Badgerinmaine]

SACK!!!!!!

[retailguy]

wow :shock:

[Mr. T]

And a blind squirrel finds a nut.

[imscott72]

FUCK YES!!!

[gbgary]

possible game saver there.

[Tony Oday]

POP!!!

[pbmax]

So Brady can blitz but not rush from the wide OLB. Good to know. Of course, it helps he was unblocked.

[red]

time to muff a punt

[pbmax]

Ouch.

[retailguy]

ouch

[The Leaper]

The question is...does McNabb know this can end in a tie?

[Bretsky]

Poppinga is going nowhere on the pass rush.

reverse whammy

[Badgerinmaine]

POP!!!
-PINGA!

[red]

And a blind squirrel finds a nut.

lol

[mmmdk]

And a blind squirrel finds a nut.

D can't be blamed today - at all!!

[pbmax]

Scott Wells had one guy to block and he cut him. And the guynever went down.

[The Leaper]

C'mon Jackson...tackled by a guy on the ground? WTF.

[Badgerinmaine]

UGH.

[Mr. T]

And a blind squirrel finds a nut.

D can't be blamed today - at all!!

I agree whole-heartedly, but poppinga is not a starter.

AND GAME OVER! AROD THROWS THE WINNING PASS!

[retailguy]

fuck

[pbmax]

Rodgers got crushed.

[DannoMac21]

Incredible.

[imscott72]

What a pathetic throw..

[red]

LOL

fuck us

we didn't deserve to win this one

[mmmdk]

Raiders up 5-0 vs Boltz...just sayin'. :)

[The Leaper]

Season over.

We can't recover from this many injuries to be a title contender. However, we'll recover enough so McCarthy will stick around and we can continue to be mediocre for several more years.

[Badgerinmaine]

PLAY UNDER REVIEW

[Bretsky]

Scott Wells had one guy to block and he cut him. And the guynever went down.


Piss Poor Block
Piss Poor Job by Brandon Jackson

Wells gave him a shot to avoid the tackler but Jackson was still talented enough to run into him

[red]

where was the high hit on rodgers?

it was a clean pick

[gbgary]

no roughing the passer there? helmet to helmet on ar.

[imscott72]

with a guy right up in his grill he should of just ate the ball. That was a Brett Favre throw right there..

[retailguy]

he was touched.

[red]

M3 is just pissed he didn't get a chance to challenge that

[DannoMac21]

He's down.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Why did we abandon the run game today? Why?

Just a crappy gameplan today.

[mmmdk]

PLAY UNDER REVIEW

It's a catch.

[Tony Oday]

alright defense!!! One more stop!!!

[retailguy]

PLAY UNDER REVIEW

It's a catch.

but no return.

[mmmdk]

He's down.

Ah!!!

[red]

Season over.

We can't recover from this many injuries to be a title contender. However, we'll recover enough so McCarthy will stick around and we can continue to be mediocre for several more years.

pretty much

[Badgerinmaine]

I think they're looking to see if Jennings touched him down

[Mr. T]

OMFG what luck. Maybe Dom can turn water into wine for the 5th time today.

[Badgerinmaine]

20+ yard difference there

[The Leaper]

Why did we abandon the run game today? Why?

Just a crappy gameplan today.

Yep...play action passing has been completely removed from our playbook through the way the games have been called recently. Defenders have no fear of our running game, even with a 100 yard day.

[red]

Why did we abandon the run game today? Why?

Just a crappy gameplan today.

yeah, and it was actually working pretty good. b-jack had like 3 nice runs over 10 yards

[gbgary]

come on Packer D!

[Badgerinmaine]

but the D has got to be tired by now

[Bretsky]

gotta be aggressive stacking the box here

gut tells me we are done

[The Leaper]

I still can't believe McCarthy went for it on 4th and 1 on the goalline without a credible running game and on the road. What a dumbass.

[retailguy]

gotta be aggressive stacking the box here

gut tells me we are done

yup

[Badgerinmaine]

GET A STOP :cow: :cow:

[Bretsky]

I still can't believe McCarthy went for it on 4th and 1 on the goalline without a credible running game and on the road. What a dumbass.


yuip

[Mr. T]

Blind squirrel. See?

[red]

I still can't believe McCarthy went for it on 4th and 1 on the goalline without a credible running game and on the road. What a dumbass.

at the time we were dominating the game

no reason to think M3's dick would fall off after that

[imscott72]

I still can't believe McCarthy went for it on 4th and 1 on the goalline without a credible running game and on the road. What a dumbass.

I don't agree. You're playing the hindsight game now..I wanted him to go for it..

[pbmax]

Incredible. They stop them again and another penalty of coverage.

[DannoMac21]

WHERES THE HOLDING?!??!?!

[Tony Oday]

fucking terrible call

[ND72]

When we lose here, I put as much blame on Aaron Rodgers as I do McCarthy today. Happy feet every play. I don't remember a single play where he sat there and let the play develop, he was moving before he even hit his drop foot.

WHAT A HORRIBLE FUCKING PENALTY

[Bretsky]

HOLDING ????????

[gbgary]

come on Packer D!

[Badgerinmaine]

It's as though they are trying to make this as painful a loss as possible. :?

[imscott72]

What a joke. Fuck you refs..just gave them the game..

[pbmax]

Raji with a great stop./

[mmmdk]

I still can't believe McCarthy went for it on 4th and 1 on the goalline without a credible running game and on the road. What a dumbass.

at the time we were dominating the game

no reason to think M3's dick would fall off after that

Hey, can u text a picture?

[The Leaper]

Raji...wow.

Where has that been all game.

[Iron Mike]

Once again.....too many penalties. :evil:

[Bretsky]

I still can't believe McCarthy went for it on 4th and 1 on the goalline without a credible running game and on the road. What a dumbass.

I don't agree. You're playing the hindsight game now..I wanted him to go for it..


No, Leaper was one of 3 who said kick at the time

[Badgerinmaine]

Talk about death by a thousand cuts.

[gbgary]

come on Packer D!

[red]

here come the flags

i think we can still break the team record if we keep it up and try real hard

[ND72]

DO REFS GET FINED? they should

[retailguy]

hand in the pads, call that everytime...

[wist43]

just kick and end it, lol...

[Bretsky]

that was PI by Woodsen

[pbmax]

Terrible game.

[Tony Oday]

NOONAN!!!

[retailguy]

that was PI by Woodsen

yup

[red]

come on make it you pussy looking little mother fucker

[The Leaper]

that was PI by Woodsen

That was a tackle by Woodson.

He hasn't played nearly as well this year as he did last year. Of course, you can't really expect him to...he was ridiculously good last year.

[Bretsky]

He may make that kick even w/o the penalty; bottom line is we sucked in the second half and should lose.

[ND72]

It was interference on Chuck, but I'm still pissed about the Poppinga call, just horrible. Refs making decisions on games, fuck them.

[imscott72]

I still can't believe McCarthy went for it on 4th and 1 on the goalline without a credible running game and on the road. What a dumbass.

I don't agree. You're playing the hindsight game now..I wanted him to go for it..


No, Leaper was one of 3 who said kick at the time

I know, what I'm saying is it's hindsight now that not kicking the FG plays a role in the outcome. I still think going for it was the right call considering how our D was playing at the time.

[gbgary]

:roll:

[DannoMac21]

We fucking suck.

[red]

FIRE MIKE MCARTHY

[Badgerinmaine]

disgusting. Washington deserved to win, and the Packers sure as hell deserved to lose.
:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

[wist43]

on the bright side... we draft higher :D

[pbmax]

Completely gave it away. Even with Matthews on the sidelines.

McCarthy and ROdgers never figured the terrible Redskin D pressure out in the second half.

[retailguy]

I still can't believe McCarthy went for it on 4th and 1 on the goalline without a credible running game and on the road. What a dumbass.

but if he wanted to kick at the time, it isn't hindsight. it's all he's posted in the game thread... what you wanted doesn't matter

[The Leaper]

I know, what I'm saying is it's hindsight now that not kicking the FG plays a role in the outcome. I still think going for it was the right call considering how our D was playing at the time.

If your D is playing so well...don't you want the sure points?

[Jimx29]

damn it....God wanted them to win. all our prayers are left unanswered

[red]

sorry, that was one of 3 easy games left on the schedule

we're done

[Bretsky]

Terrible game.

I may need to put in my Frank Caliendo tape for a bit of humor and listen to his Charles Barkley imitation

That was trrrrrrrrribbble

[The Leaper]

McCarthy and ROdgers never figured the terrible Redskin D pressure out in the second half.

Yep...McCarthy outcoached YET AGAIN. Fancy that.

[Badgerinmaine]

Completely gave it away. Even with Matthews on the sidelines.

McCarthy and ROdgers never figured the terrible Redskin D pressure out in the second half.
Outcoached at halftime yet again. I'm sick of it. McCarthy is a great QB developer but he is just NOT cut out to be an NFL head coach.

[Jimx29]

McCarthy and ROdgers never figured the terrible Redskin D pressure out in the second half.

If your D is playing so well...don't you want the sure points?

No. I'd go for the 7, and if I don't get it count on my D getting the ball back in good field position. If you recall we were inches away from getting a safety on the next play.

[ND72]

Jackson 10 carries 115 yards....fucking kidding me Professional Head Football Coach Mike McCarthy?

[mmmdk]

on the bright side... we draft higher :D

I thought my 10-6 prediction was solid...we'll have to fight to get to .500

Officially upset Bears & Vikings season.

[Cheesehead Craig]

QB sneak was stupid there, as was the pass.

Should have gone for 3 and take the points.

[Bretsky]

If your D is playing so well...don't you want the sure points?


With out pathetic short yardage rushing attack I take the sure points also
I have just as much confidence that we make it at fourth and five spreading them out and passing than I do at fourth and one with our offense

[Cheesehead Craig]

Jackson 10 carries 115 yards....fucking kidding me Professional Head Football Coach Mike McCarthy?
Just gave up on the run today to placate Rodgers so he can throw the ball and be "the man". Fucking fuckers.

[Bretsky]

If I'm an opposing coach I still don't take GB's run attack seriously

By all means disagree with me if you want to, just sayin I agreed at the time to go for it, and I'm not going to waver just because that's one of many many many plays that cost us the game.

i'm with you on this one. if its later in the game then i might kick the field goal. but at that time i thought going for it from the one was the right move

very true

Instead of going for three they might have converted on fourth down and scored a TD in regulation anyways

The Poppinga penalty was piss poor

In the big picture not going to beat many teams with all the injuries and then when losing Finley and Matthews in the game

Going for it didn't lose the game as it resulted in 3 points anyway.

Jackson 10 carries 115 yards....fucking kidding me Professional Head Football Coach Mike McCarthy?

Especially when we don't even try.

Run game averaged 9 yards a carry and you're blaming that for the loss? How about we sucked ass on 3rd down? We missed a FG? Too many penalties? Injuries?

[Bretsky]

For the most part every media outlet has not hammered GB for not getting another RB via trade.

How about Driver's drops (again) and Jennings disappearing during the game (again)?

[denverYooper]

Well that was rough.

I was impressed with our 3rd string D. They held their own for being strapped together with duct tape and sawdust. Offense looked dead after Finley and Lee went out, even though Quarless made some nice plays.

[red]

For the most part every media outlet has not hammered GB for not getting another RB via trade.

really? i've heard it

espn has been harping about it for a couple weeks, and i think it was fox or cbs was saying last week we had to make a move

[Freak Out]

Large hairy DC donkey balls are being sucked by the Packers.

[Badgerinmaine]

In the big picture not going to beat many teams with all the injuries and then when losing Finley and Matthews in the game
After I am done screaming, I will probably have the maturity to look at it this way in a day or three. :?

[Joemailman]

When you lose a close game like this, there will be a dozen things you can point to that caused the loss. Bottom line though is that this team is a shadow of what they would be if healthy. They just need to try to stay above.500 right now and hope they can get on another late season run once they get some players back.

[Freak Out]

Holy fuck....how bad are those guys injured?

[digitaldean]

I'd rather have gone for the points in the first half, but that didn't lose this game.

Absolutely horrible blocking in 2nd half, bad penalties (even with the 2 gift non-calls we should have gotten for PI) at least FOUR dropped passes and absolute abandonment of the run game did this team in.

This one is on the offense and the coaching more than anyone else.

You can't let a substandard team like the Skins hang around like that. The missed 48 yarder bit us in the rear big time.

Continually losing key players doesn't help either. Shudder to think what it'll be like without Finley in the lineup.

[pittstang5]

Wow. This one hurts alot.

Stupid penalties at crucial moments, turnovers at crucial moments, no offense when needed....I see a pattern here. I know it's one game...and now with the injuries, this ship is sinking...fast.

[Tarlam!]

Well that was rough.

I was impressed with our 3rd string D. They held their own for being strapped together with duct tape and sawdust. Offense looked dead after Finley and Lee went out, even though Quarless made some nice plays.

I think you nailed it with this opinion.

Plenty of blame to go around to for the vets, coaching and ST's, but the replacements played pretty damned well.

To be fair to the team and , it's tough to implement a gameplan when you lose 4 starters during a single game, 3 in the first quarter!

And without Mathews, well, 'nuff said.

[Joemailman]

Holy fuck....how bad are those guys injured?

No word yet. Word was Matthews had a hamstring cramp. Pickett an ankle. Lee a shoulder. Finley was on crutches with a knee injury.

[pbmax]

Run game or trading for a running back is not the problem. They didn't convert into scores in the first half.

Then in the second half, they never figured out how to protect and beat their coverage.

Some of that I blame on Finley being out. You run a two or three man route so you can protect with 7 or 8, Finley is still going to be a viable option for a catch. They never came up with something reliable to replace him on 3rd down. Drops hurt a ton, as did turnovers and penalties again.

Just using the run game more in the second half might have avoided more 3rd and long. But they did not need a new O line or new RB to do it.

Well a Viking loss can make it a better week. We're still 3-2. No reason to panic. Lets get some guys healthy.

[Fritz]

I don't know if Lynch woulda been the answer. Where were the running plays today?

Why does MM steadfastly refuse to run the football today? After closing out last week's game with the run, he won't use it today?

The injuries are a factor, no doubt. But your defense was battered and it held up.

And the Skins' D is statistically one of the worst in the league. And the Packers can score only 13?

This season is turning into a mess.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Jackson 10 carries 115 yards....fucking kidding me Professional Head Football Coach Mike McCarthy?


If I'm an opposing coach I still don't take GB's run attack seriously
Especially when we don't even try.

Run game averaged 9 yards a carry and you're blaming that for the loss? How about we sucked ass on 3rd down? We missed a FG? Too many penalties? Injuries?
When we just become one dimensional and the Redskins can just pin their ears back and pass rush all the damn time that's a problem.

We needed to run the ball more so we didn't have 3rd and long.

I'm not solely blaming the loss on the lack of attempts with the run game, I'm just pissed that we didn't even try and run the ball more when it was successful.

Obviously not perfect, but the defense did its job today.

This offense is not even close to the same without Finley.

[pittstang5]

not to get too mushy on everyone in hear, but I'm glad I have a place to go and see people pissed off and rant about this game. I'm a lone Packer fan in Iggles Country. It makes me feel better that I'm not the only one irritated, irrate, upset...whatever.

Misery loves company.

[imscott72]

At least the cowgirls are getting owned..

Nice to know there are still some posters on here who aren't crabby ass motherfuckers who wait with baited breath for the team to lose so they can let out all their frustration from the real world on Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson.

Woodson has GOT to keep his hands off receivers after 5 yards. He's kiling us at key times with PI, hands to the face, holding, etc.

[Fritz]

I'm really bugged about this - supposedly all this talented receivers would take up slack - there was so much talent! - but when MM won't even pretend to run the football, stuff's not going to work in the passing game because the Skins' D doesn't have to honor the run.

This seems to be to me about more than just injuries. This is an offense that has no identity. An offense without a running game is like a man without balls.

[mmmdk]

Frek it - so now we have to listen the "what went wrong" song - all season long?

This isn't the dilemma of the Chicken or egg 'cos McCarthy was here before the injuries started.

Fire McCarthy

[Bretsky]

I think he's gotten real bad the past couple years. He gets away with more than any CB I witness as well......but it seems like he's getting handsy on most plays even when he doesn't need to.

Will agree on the run. BJack was seein' it a little today and should have got more carries. He had 10 carries for 115 yards... 11.5 ypc. You can play the "take out the 71 yarder game but that still gives 9/44, almost 5 per carry. He looked pretty good.

[Tarlam!]

Drops and penalties will kill even the best passing game, Fritz. There were too many of both today.

[mmmdk]

Obviously not perfect, but the defense did its job today.

I agree.

I don't think the running game is the problem. The Redskins have about the worst pass defense in the league and they couldn't attack them there effectively. Finley opens up the whole offense IMO. Without him, it's too easy to take Jennings out of the game and the rest of the guys can pretty much be singled up pretty consistently.

Guys need to hang on to the ball too. Driver had 4 drops, Jones had a bunch, and so on. I'd like to think that won't continue. It's amazing how the NFL is such a game of inches. We barely lose the Bear game, we barely win the Lion game, and we barely lose this game. If Mason's kick clanks in we win just like that. It didn't and we didn't

I have a hard time putting too much blame on MM

Somewhere in the middle of this thread posters criticized MM for a series when Jackson run for about seven or so.........and then MM ran Jackson wide off tackle and he was stuffed for a two yard loss. Then an incomplete pass and punt. It was pointed out that is where you use Kuhn and pound it straight forward for a first down.

A few series later, Jackson ran for six yards. Kuhn came in and they tried to do exactly what a couple posters suggested.........and Kuhn lost two to three yards.

Take the Seventy Two Yard run away. What is our yards per carry ? Our running game lacked consistency and that's why MM lacks confidence there.

I don't blame MM for not having confidence in the run game.
I don't blame MM for not thinking the run game can be consistent with Jacksona and Kuhn

I do completely agree that right now our offense lacks an identity

[channtheman]

How bout the fucking TOP receiving corp in the league catch the fucking ball? How many drops today? Useless motherfuckers. Oh, and I thought the refs weren't supposed to call close calls at the end of the game. Two in a row to fuck us over (I'd argue neither were even real penalties). MM did his job (except for not challenging Jordy's TD early in the game). The receivers we have are shit, and fuck the refs.

[mmmdk]

Dropped passes by DD was dissapointing too - all 4 of them.

AR hasn't been in rhythm for a whole game this season. More on dispute between AR & McCarthy? I think so for sure - though it might be kept indoors or it might blow out in the press too.

I'm not one to blow smoke up anyone's ass just to make it all lollipops and roses, but when the Offense can't convert a 3rd and 2, you know there's a problem. :roll:

Completely agree here; and anybody who really thought Jones and Nelson could be dominant number two WR's for most teams are probably disappointed here.

Sounds like AROD has a concussion
