More Banjo: @ Bills Week 15

[call_me_ishmael]

Packers had 7 drops today, most by any team in a single game this year

"drops" though. Rodgers threw a ton of garbage that our guys at least put a hand on it. I can think of 4-5 balls thrown way behind off the top of my head.

The pass to Nelly that was almost picked is the single worst pass I've ever seen Aaron throw. What the hell was that????????

They will need more than character to go to Seattle and come away with a win.

That much is sure. The NFL has swallowed the whistle on illegal contact and DPI at the end of the year.

Which favors SEA at the end of the year.

Rants You Should Ignore:

Packers couldn't get off the field and that cost them TOP: Bills were 4 of 16 on 3rd downs (no 4th down attempts)
--Bills had 3 minute advantage in TOP because of the Packers offense, not the Packer D

FG on second to last drive at Bills 16 made sense with 4.5 minutes left: Packers were in red zone twice ALL GAME
--odds of getting that close again with limited possessions were NIL. That was the time to use both 3rd and 4th down to get another first and try to score.
--Throw into end zone was just a terrible play. Not the least of which because Cobb was open.
--Packers would be able to run in red zone
--Long passing game had not worked all game
--Trying to get into FG position with less than 2 minutes remaining is FAR easier and Crosby would have had the wind

Coach's would be insane not to test the refs on this. I would mug the receivers from the start of the game and force the officials to declare what they will call. The same thing happened last year SF at GB. Refs swallowed the whistle and only called gross holding. Probably was a wash though, because House mugged receivers several times; Jordy and Cobb got mugged once each. Helps to have a running game, a TE, and a WR who can get open against press coverage.

I didnt see this on TV... 1st Rambo INT, Nelson wide open!!! Busted coverage...

[mraynrand]

^^^ saw that during the game. Poor vision by Rodgers, but you have to think he's feeling the pressure. Coachspeak claimed he assumed the safety help would go to Jordy and that Cobb would be open. Dubious explanation.

Rodgers was able to step up into the pocket. There was no real pressure on that play. He just misread the safety.

Yeah, the thing I don't understand is why he was so nervous?? Happy feet causing him to miss numerous throws, narrowed vision, its not like he was getting mucho pressure. Maybe something he saw on film got to his head?
