OFFICIAL Game Day Thread: Bengals @ Packers

[wpony]

why did he go over the middle with only a few seconds to go and no time outs

[Rastak]

God dmanit Aaron. What are you doing throwing it inthe middle of the field you tard.

Moving the ball.

The official didn't do a good job getting the ball spotted very quickly, but I don't think it would have mattered. There was time to get the ball snapped, but Finley wasn't set quick enough.

Everyone knew the game was over if they went over the middle.. Don't be that guy. What a dumb pass. Take the shot at the end zone or throw the ball away. Stupid play. Worst game as a Packer imo. He surely looked like a below average to horrible QB today.

Then what the fuck was Driver running a pass route over the middle for in the first place?

Maybe that's what MM called?

Had boy wonder Rodgers not thrown the ball to yhe middle of the field they more than likely would have had another play. But I doubt it would have helped.

They should have had another play anyway. That wouldn't have helped because Finley was not lined up quick enough, but that's no fault of Rodgers.

Maybe it was a false start - but there was definitely 1 second left on the clock. Sideline?

10 second runoff.....rendered it moot.

was that really a false start ? I didn't really see him move. The officials did a shit job spotting the ball after Driver lost the ball.

Either way they were losers today

They did all the little things losers do to screw up a game

7-31 without the D's picks... The D was awful, but at least they gave us a few scores. More than the offense can say.

If you try to blame this on the offense I might reach through the computer and punch you in the face. The offense sucked, the defense sucked, and special teams sucked. Lots of blame to go around.

there was not one facet of this game where the packers played well. singling things out is pointless and stupid.

you don't play games like this two weeks in a row and come out with 2 wins. we should be fortunate that they are 1-1 with two stinkers like this.

he wasn't set. it was the right call.

[Brohm]

This game was pathetic on all counts. Nothing was even remotely good. Well, we did get the onside kick

You just cannot play this was and be a winning team. Especially at home. Especially against a team like the Bengals.

Totally undisciplined, totally shit. If you play a good, hard game and get beat, that's one thing. This is just bad football to the core. Hard to even watch.

Yep. Dominated in all four facets of the game two weeks in a row. Terrible, terrible stuff.

Exaclty. But I know I'm going to see the usual it was Rodgers fault, not it wasn't crap from the usual suspects.

Well of course, but I was responding to Partial's assertion that everybody knew the game was over if he didn't throw to the sidelines. Apparently there were some who thought they could get another snap off should the middle open up for Rodgers to throw to. And, truth be told, they would have if the official had been a bit quicker spotting the ball. It wouldn't have mattered anyway with Finley not getting lined up quickly enough, but again, that wouldn't have been on Rodgers.

The game should have never gotten to that point to begin with, and I'm not placing blame on the final play, but it is what it is.

Just saying that Ed's explanation was incorrect.

[falco]

Hard to blame this game on Rodgers.

He had no run support. His WR's didn't catch the ball. He had no protection.

Yes, he had some bad throws and held on too long. But no way a guy can find a rhythm like that.

We got outcoached and outplayed.

[Partial]

Just because someone is running a route does not mean it's a good idea to throw to them. It's called a decoy. They're not going to leave him wide open because then he would score. By running a shallow route with a shorter guy like Driver, it keeps one less guy off a taller guy like Finley in the end zone for the jump ball.

It's strategy

[Fosco33]

And let's relax - it's just an AFC loss... and the Bears are down 7-0 (to another AFC team).
