Official Packers/Browns Thread (Preseason Ver)

[jmbarnes101]

Well according to my cousin, 95% of WR's in the league would prefer to have Cutler throwing to them than Rodgers. I just laughed and laughed and laughed some more. Typical Bears fan.

[pbmax]

3-4 looked good out of the gate. But the Browns offense last year was horrible. Didn't they go several games without a TD?

i heard cutler sucked tonight. lol

Two picks...maybe one...not sure.

Sorry...one pick.

[rbaloha1]

Surpirsed they didn't punch it in at the end...in my mind the final score is 24 to 0. They were running all over them at the end. I guess McCarthy felt sorry for them.

Remember there is a regular season game. Also teams legitimately practice the kneel down.

[Bossman641]

Didn't get a chance to watch the game tonight.

How did Grant, Bigby and Hawk look? Also, how comfortable did the D seem in terms of timing blitzes and being on the same page (no communication issues)?

Thanks

He had one pick. Nothing major. The Offense two top weapons did not even play, Forte and Olsen. Plus the Best O-lineman did not play (Orlando Pace). He looked hesitant on some throws but did ok on the very vanilla plays they called while he was in there.

No reason for concern on my end. I look at possession players and see how they are working out. I am never concerned after the first preseason game. The lions look good every preseason, but you see how they turn out. Some teams run VERY vanilla calls on both side of the ball just to see what they need to install. And some teams go into preseason with plays they will run frequently in the regular season, only then the teams have tape on it and they go nowhere..ala Detroit.

I think the main problem may be that Orlando Pace is your best OL.

[Lurker64]

I missed the game, but looking at the stat line... Jesús Christo is Brohm terrible. 3/10 with 2 picks and a 1.8 YPA? How on earth was he drafted in the second?

Umm, and that would make him still better than anyone the pack has on their O-line. Did you forget who had the worst o-line play last year? The False start kings? come on man.

But enough about the Bears in a thread about the Packers preseason game. Just make a thread that says Bears suck, and I will gladly join in there.

Are you familiar with the term 'whistling past the graveyard'?
Here's a few things you SHOULD be concerned about :
1. injuries and a big-money contract have made DT Tommie Harris a shell of his former self. Not much talent inside. Adams, Harrison, and Dvorcek?
Please!
2. the secondary is a mess. Best player Tillman's injury should keep him out for a considerable while, and trying to eventually play corner effectively with a bad back - good luck! The rest of the secondary's play resembles a Chinese firedrill.
3. Still no sign of a pass rush. Defensive ends don't look good.
4. the worst receiving corp in the NFL.
5. the offensive line looks mediocre at best.

"No reason for concern on my end" sure sounds a bit like General Custer's last memo!

Just razzing you a little bit. I live in IL but haven't been paying much attention to the Bears this offseason. I personally think Pace is finished but we will see. I just can't help but laugh when my Bear fans point to guys like Knox and Rideau as the answer to the Bear WR problems. I don't think the Bears have enough WR talent to do much this year, but that's why they play the games.

I missed the game, but looking at the stat line... Jesús Christo is Brohm terrible. 3/10 with 2 picks and a 1.8 YPA? How on earth was he drafted in the second?

The two interceptions weren't Brohm's fault, on one play there was too much pressure and he got hit as he threw, and the 2nd interception was in and out of the hands of the receiever. He started off decisive, but the more he played, the more he hung onto the ball. Also, as I stated before in this thread, his passes are lobbed to receivers. He has no velocity on his passes, and it is clear that Matt Flynn is miles ahead of him in terms of ability and decisiveness. Although Flynn scrambled more than he had to, he impressed me tonight. I predict Brohm will be released from the Packers after this season.

[OkayKyle]

Although I was excited for the first look at the new 3-4, the part of the team that impressed me the most was the offensive line. Last year was one of the worst o-line performances I have ever seen. Announcers frequently called Daryn Colledge "Mister Consistency" - and he was terrible at times. Clifton was completely inconsistent and Tauscher wasn't himself.

However, tonight the O-line looked good, even in run blocking. I can't remember the last time Rodgers had that much time in the pocket. Even Flynn had an incredible amount of time to throw until the 3rd and 4th string line came in. If the line continues to perform like it did tonight, expect great things from this offense this year.
