Winners - Losers Packers vs. Falcons

[Carolina_Packer]

Loser
Adjustments on defense in the second half. I was not crazy about the bend/don't break of the first half defense. Jones was already having a night by half, but the way they were defending (or not defending) him in the second half was very surprising.

So, was it more lack of pass rush or more lack of coverage, or both?

The sky is not falling, but those clouds better clear fast. Atlanta's offensive line was patch work, and Ryan had too much time to throw, and Atlanta receivers were not well covered.

Fantasy football players:

If I played, I'd be wanting to get Sammy Watkins this week.

Winner
Monday Night Football Ratings...many games are unwatchable by the second half...not that I wanted to see what Atlanta's offense did to our defense. The D was in Cover No One.

hahahaha ...... Our 'D' was in 'Cover No one'.

Repped.

[woodbuck27]

Winners:

Aaron Rodgers 123.3 Pass Rating. 3 more TD pass's. Many very athletic plays to move the ball and put points on the board. Another game at home and no picks....extending his record of passing attempts and no picks.

For six straight games, the Packers have scored at least 23 points at home in the first half — that's an NFL record.

They've outscored opponents 182-30 before halftime.

All things must end. They had a streak of 89 consecutive points scored at home come to an end Monday in the 43-37 victory against the Atlanta Falcons.

Eddie Lacy played solidly. 106 Total Yards and 2 TD's.

James Starks....10 rushes for 75 yards and the opening touchdown. He had clock-killing runs in the four-minute offense when Lacy suffered a hip injury.

Jordy Nelson was outstanding again. 8 Receptions for 146 Yards ... an 18.2 Avg. and 2 TD'S

Losers:

Our 'D' went to sleep in the second half and gave up 30 'YES' 30 Points ! That 'NO' small 'd' defense was 'dazed and confused'.

The Green Bay Packer fans....Did they get bored? The fans have to give energy to the team and not fall asleep.

The takeaway, as always, is that there is no good reason to attend NFL games.

riiiight.

He might be getting close. He torched Patrick Peterson last week.

Apparently, PP is not having an overall good year, or so others have told me. But, if PP is so great, and Jones torched him, it makes all the more sense then to single cover him with banged-up Shields and, when Shields is ineffective, bring in the backup and expect him to single cover the guy. That's brilliant.

[pbmax]

riiiight.

For some, it would be good to take a break. Standing by elevators at top of the world, I saw one being held open. One minute later a woman on a gurney was wheeled through. Unconcious and I think intubated. Emergency personnel were not joking about that one. Ushers said they were not sure what had happened.

Capers gets a Stubby for that one.

Any chance Shields was still suffering from his concussion? Has to be a possibility.

Put her on the Loser train if she was wasted, along with the entire Packer defense, but most specifically the lack of pass rush. Where the hell was Mike Daniels? Was Datone Jones really a first round pick designed to give the team a pass rush? Did Julius Peppers ever wake up all night?

Winners? The offense, and most especially Aaron Rodgers. We saw what this team was without him last year: one of the many 7-9 or 6-10 teams that litter the league every year.
