More Banjo: vs Patriots Week 13

[denverYooper]

It's the biggest win for them since the superbowl. Keep the mental edge at Lambeau; beat an elite QB; Defense is not a liability.

Both teams played a good, clean game and the home team held serve by clinching it on the last drive. That's the way it's supposed to look among the best.

[denverYooper]

Rodgers may not be elite because it wasn't a close win or a game winning drive, but he is ahead of Peyton Manning in one category; lifetime record versus Brady.

That gets all of the run in the metrics community due to the arbitrary boundaries of said stats but that 3rd down throw to Cobb to kill the game was everything that is clutch.

Going against an earlier post I made... pay the man 9 million and be done with it...

Absolutely. And to be fair, the guy doing to research has been adding to it and trying to weed out defense and other influences. Scott Kascmar is legit and he knows its an outlier but finds it interesting, which it certainly is.

Problem is no other media outlet wants to look at context, they just want to argue and find fault. Kinda what we do here. But I trust the guy to do solid work on it. He acknowleged to Wilde on Twitter that it wasn't the whole story on Rodgers play and had multiple causes.

Don't know much about interception guy at 538, but he seems on the level too, though more convinced his finding should result in changes to approach.

Patriots 4-10 on 3rd down
Packers 10-17

Packers defense able to get off the field today.

I am stealing this for More Banjo. That's a huge deal for a D that usually yields long drives.

Yes. I have to hand it to Captain Comeback on his continuing evolution. I really enjoy what the FO guys and their ilk have done in terms of redefining the general narrative that flows through typical talking-head analysis.

#Packers QB @AaronRodgers12 told @ESPN's @RobDemovsky (in a press conference) that he did not need stitches for the gash on his left hand.

More @TJLang70: "I saw maybe 2 out of 20 [media] people picked us to win the game. That kind of lights a fire under your ass a little bit."

Rob Gronkowski on his near TD in the fourth... "When my number is called, I have to come down with that play."

Mike Daniels on #Packers third-down sack... "That was awesome, that was clutch, that was a play that needed to happen.”

This is pretty amazing: The last time Aaron Rodgers was intercepted at Lambeau Field was Dec. 2, 2012.

Yes. I have to hand it to Captain Comeback on his continuing evolution. I really enjoy what the FO guys and their ilk have done in terms of redefining the general narrative that flows through typical talking-head analysis.

And the 538 INT guy will be celebrating the contested throw Rodgers made to Cobb to get the first down and seal the game.

From Wilde on Red Zone: http://www.espnwisconsin.com/common/...medium=twitter

Red-zone blues: Had they lost, the Packers’ biggest regret would have been their red-zone inefficiency. They came into the game with the league’s ninth-best TD percentage in the red zone entering this week at 63.6 percent, and that was down from earlier in the year, when they were over the 70 percent threshold. On Sunday, though, they settled for four Mason Crosby field goals – Crosby also missed another – and their touchdowns came from 32 yards (Richard Rodgers) and 45 yards (Jordy Nelson). The other would-have-been regret: A drop by Davante Adams on what would have been a 4-yard TD catch on the final field-goal drive. Now Adams can enjoy the first 100-yard receiving game of his young career.

Proof pass rating isn't everything from JSO and Silverstein:

Brady was productive in posting a 102.7 passer rating on 22-of-35 passing with 245 yards and two touchdowns.

Need to re-watch the 2nd half, I was not paying full attention. What happened to the O that scored on all but one possession in the first?

This on the sack... Peppers things that don't show up on the stats.

Julius Peppers drew a double-team and both Daniels and Neal beat their men to get to Brady.

[denverYooper]

Also, HaHa had a nice game. Covered Gronk well when called and didn't let anything get behind him. He always looked to have a cap on things.

Hoody is setting them up for the rematch: http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/284278381.html

Belichick shook hands with McCarthy and talked to him for far longer than the usual, "Nice game." It appeared like he was telling McCarthy that he had "a heck of a team."
