More Banjo: Week3 vs. Chiefs

[pbmax]

Never has a 10 point win been more excruciatingly concluded.

I had hoped M3 would be more aggressive in these situations, but at least in the regular season at home, he is not.

That said, Janis does not look ready for prime time. And please tell me someone saw Shields come back into the game after he left during the last KC TD drive.

Shields was back in the game.

Shields was back in the game.

Phew. I thought so, but because of the rain ESPN switched to a roof cam. I though I was watching an intersectional matchup between K-State and Coastal Carolina.

[smuggler]

Janis got a long pass on the first play of the 2nd drive. Was it close?

Janis let the DB squeeze him on the sideline. The pass was probably 3 yards OOB. I dunno if Rodgers misthrew or if he put it there cause Janis didn't make himself available.

KC was selling out to shut down the run. If you are just running into a wall, why not just have Rodgers take a knee?

I wish they would have stayed aggressive in 4th quarter. AR is pretty safe with quick passes. That was painful.

It's been over three years since Aaron Rodgers lost a regular season home game (min: 3 pass attempts).

[Bossman641]

Is anyone else upset we allowed a Chief WR to catch a TD? I'm probably more upset by this win than I am by the Bears win, and yes I realize that's spoiled.

Quarless, knee (on Marcus Peters low hit, looked similar to hit that laid up Cobb)
Jake Ryan, hamstring
Adams, same ankle
Datone Jones, possible concussion

[mraynrand]

I'm just glad Jones doesn't have a neck injury. That didn't look good.

Getting a bit thin at TE. Time to bring back Bostick!

I agreed. When it happened I yelled "shit, not again" I was about to nominate Joe Thomas for a doggfuckle award. (or whatever the hell the reverse was called)

Ankle biter.

@ByRyanWood: Was James Jones good signing? #Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has completed 12-14 passes thrown to him for 219 yards, 4 TDs, PERFECT 158.3 rating.

@ByRyanWood: #Packers WR James Jones is the only receiver in NFL with double-digit targets and a perfect QB rating on those targets.

What an incredibly fortunate pickup J.J. has been so far. Dude has been money and I love his attitude and professionalism.

Looks like a defenseless receiver to me. Targeting for sure.

[gbgary]

not once did I, think the game was in doubt, bite a fingernail, or get nervous. 2nd half was all garbage time and they let it show some in the forth quarter. it was a dominate win from the get-go.

perfect technique. shoulder-chest.

[mraynrand]

perfect technique. shoulder-chest.

He hit him way too hard - and the receiver wasn't looking or properly prepared. Probably deserves a four game suspension and a stiff fine. Have to punish/fine away the hard hits. Maybe a good rule change would be for the defender to shout a strong warning before the hit.

[Bossman641]

Quarless MCL sprain, out 4-6 weeks
Adams looks like he will be out a week or 2

[Joemailman]

Quarless is having a really tough year. An arrest, an infant death, and now an injury.

[KYPack]

perfect technique. shoulder-chest.


Oh yeah.

Form tackle, through and through.

That shit gets the sideline hollerin'.

When he left, he did so in the same manner, classy and professional. I really like how he comports himself.

McGinn split the difference and gave him 4 out of 5 footballs.

The Russian judge must have also given him a pretty good score PB!

[Patler]

Nah, way too complicated. Did he shout the correct warning? Did he shout it loud enough? Was the shout timely? If there are two defenders in the area, do they have to shout directional information as part of the warning? ("I'm going to crush you from your left side!") What if two defenders from different locations both shout warnings? Wouldn't that be confusing to the poor, poor wide receiver?

Much simpler to just eliminate tackling of receivers all together. DBs can play the ball, but not touch the receiver. In fairness, you could eliminate y.a.c. and give the offense the ball at the point of the reception; although the NFL might like every completed pass leading to a TD, with defenders limited to only trying to punch out the ball.

We are moving towards electronic touch football. I figure the closer it gets to that, the less interest there will be and the game will die. The push will come from the high schools, where hysterical helicopter moms are steering kids away from football (never mind that plenty of other sports have their attendant injuries, concussions, etc.). At some point, the well is going to go dry, but these things take time.

[George Cumby]

I love football. I loved playing organized football. I love a good pick up game of football. When the time comes, I will allow my son to play football, but one concussion ano I won't let him play again.

[pbmax]

You just need proximity indicators that start to really squeal in a high pitch when something is approaching at full running speed.

And adopt some more rugby tackling techniques rather than rules about where to hit.

The you need to create space on the LOS both horizontally and vertically (away from the ball).

But Roger will keep pushing them to implement rules to prevent hits that the public thinks look scary. Colleges will figure it out first.
