    Where did the running game go?

    early in the game yesterday lacy seemed to be running very well

    but after halftime i didn't notice him so much. did we give up on the run? did they just stop the run?

    i don't think we were ever down so far that we would just have to abandon the run all together

    why did we go away from it when it was working?

    and why the hell didn't starks get more carries? i can remember 2.

    They were doing the pass rush twists on run downs that the Browns did. Packers countered that in the second half with the toss sweep.

    Tolzien only intermittently made them pay for having a safety in the box and forcing the toss sweep as well.

    Eagles also blitzed the A-gap relentlessly. Lang and the Guards weren't picking that up cleanly.

    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

      Red, they ran a lot in the second half it just wasn't effective.
      But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

          With 60% of the line different than it was at the start of the game, that isn't surprising.

          The C-RG-RT combination of EDS - Lang - Barclay became Lang - Barclay/Taylor -Newhouse.

            It's bad enough when a single injury causes a two player switch. I think it is ridiculous when a single injury to EDS requires changing three positions.

              its sad when we're down to starting a TE at guard and a guy who clearly doesn't want to be on the field at RT

                When you look at all of what happened yesterday it should be surprising we lost. Our line was all messed up, our 3rd string QB just signed off the PS was forced to go in, our best defensive player was playing one handed and 2 more guys who just got back in the line-up re-injured themselves. My fear is we're gonna literally run out of guys to suit up.
