Studs & Duds

Stud: Boykin, excellent awareness.

Well, he got a great assist from Rodgers via Trgovac and Kuhn yelling from the sideline.

LOL



Jeffries? Jeffrey? Jeffery?

If Shields was looking for help, that's an error in scheme/philosophy. Shields should be told/know that he can't give up coverage on Jeffery. Someone else can make the tackle on the dump off pass. Can't give up that deep toss.

More than likely he missed an adjustment.

[mraynrand]

It looked like Perry was lined up over the TE and was supposed to jam him off the line and drop the flat. Instead he jammed him for 6 yards and couldn't get anywhere near his assigned zone.

I'd like to go bak and look at the coverage, but there is no doubt that the Packers eliminated Martellus Bennett from the game.

*or miss it, as the case may be

Hyde had his guy well covered up the middle. Burnett still went after that guy leaving Shields on an island. That bomb was on Burnett, methinks.

I said to Mae what made him finally go for and pick up that ball and score? It had to be someone yelling at him.

He hesitated and some more hesitation and final... the scoop and dodge for six.

But Shields broke off the coverage, as though he's either expecting help, or didn't think they were going deep and just lost concentration. I'm OK with Shields on the island - but plaster. He did it other times in the game and was effective.

Studs: Packers

Duds: Bears

Well said.

Martellus Bennet was a non factor with one reception for 15 yards. I expected to see him post more than that.

Thought the ol played very well in general

Might have been about their best pass protection of the season.

Wasnt the down and distance manageable for the Bears? Shields was probably anticipating/gambling on a slant or short throw. If you watch the replay, Burnett went after the wrong guy, the guy well-covered by Hyde.

With the outcome in hindsight, lets just agree to disagree.

[Bossman641]

Going off memory here. Think it was third and 4 or 5. I believe bears had Marshall in the left slot. Shields certainly played jeffrey like he was expecting help over the top. It's possible capers had bracket coverage on marshall but I think burnett screwed up

[Bretsky]

It really looked like Shields was expecting help over the top; he didn't even put his burners on until he turned around with an oh shit...there is no help behind me reaction

[pbmax]

I think he and Burnett were expecting a 1st down route and each jumped up. That left no one deep to corral Jeffrey.

Very Sharper like and both should run laps and take a pay cut. Or be traded to the Vikes.

Yeah, I think there was an expectation that everything was going to be short. My guess is Shields lost concentration. See what they say post-game interviews.
