Winners - Losers Packers vs. Bills

[Striker]

Per ESPN:

The most surprising thing about Rodgers' uncharacteristically ineffective performance against the Bills might have been his inability to connect with receivers down the field.

It wasn't for a lack of trying.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, Rodgers attempted a season-high 14 passes that flew at least 15 yards downfield but completed just two of them. Before Sunday, Rodgers had the fifth best completion percentage (51.3) in the league on such passes. He was averaging 17.7 yards per attempt and had 11 touchdowns without an interception on such throws.

Against the Bills, he completed just 14.3 percent of his passes that went at least 15 yards for an average of just 2.3 yards per attempt and also had one of his two interceptions on such throws.

Before Sunday, Rodgers had faced a defense ranked in the top three in Total QBR in Week 6 or later eight times in his career, and he was near dominant, with an 80.6 QBR, 23 touchdowns and only one interception, per ESPN Stats & Information. But against the Bills, who were second in the NFL in QBR entering the game, Rodgers finished with a season-low QBR of 17.2 and two interceptions.

The task should be much easier this week, when the Packers face a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team ranked 27th in opponent QBR, at 68.3.

Look, Nutzy, this strategy is only going to work if we amass the blame upon Rodgers and Rodgers alone. He can't rustle up a big enough chip if he doesn't get all the blame. The more undeserved the criticism, the better he'll play in the following weeks.

I'm with Fritz, Rogers plays his best when mad, not nervous like Sunday. Somebody needs to bitch slap him, call him gay or some shit like that.

That's why I think Stubby psyched the team out. It's not a mystery. It's not an 'aggressive' defense that beats them, it's a good defense primarily with pass rush from 4 and/or the whole front seven. Then the secondary doesn't matter all that much, cuz Rodger's head is on a swivel. Stubby told the team that Buffalo is the toughest place to play and then - self-fulfilling prophecy - even though pass pro wasn't all that bad.

I think Stubby blew this one - before it even started.

He was nervous. He was cold.

He refused SEX.

He was terrible and he adapted.

He sucked and he will be OK.

He farted...Did he fart? I think he farted !?

Everything about Aaron Rodgers is examined.



He does fart and he will be ............. OK.

Placing phone calls to high school principals is creepy at best, regardless of the intent.

QFT. I would never call a high school principal.

I pretty much agree, Rodgers was due to have a shit game, and a perfect place to have it was in Buffalo because the Packers always play like shit there. They also had shitty production from everyone on offense but the running backs. 7 drops is the most this season by any NFL club, not exactly Rodgers problem. So to play the blame game, sure Rodgers was terrible, but nobody picked up the slack that was allowed to.

It was a collective effort of suckiness.

LOL. I though you claimed he refused sex


"It was cold"

I was just kidding when I said he was gay, what's with all the 'suck' comments?

Anyway, I in no way believe Rogers is gay, nor do I care, cause that queer sure can throw a football...

Hey, don't smear the queer!

This is Harlan's old "move".

First he creates a tempest in a teapot.

Then he generates a shit storm over it.

Then he makes his famous "Joan of Arc" speech about freedom of speech or something.

Then he threatens to quit if he doesn't get his way.

Then he takes a few weeks or months off.

This would be hissy fit #10 by my inaccurate memory.

His motive this time is to take the forum heat off Tanky.

Oh, the HUMANITY!!!

If Mad wants him here to have a little fun and drive posts, that's his call.

Good, end of story.

If you're looking for Christmas present suggestions, I want the Calvin and Hobbes book where the back has a picture of Calvin destroying the Chagrin Falls triangle

I don't know about 15 yards or more representing downfield. There have been other games I thought they were trying to attack more vertically.

But at 42 attempts, tying the season high, I suppose that its possible it represents business as usual.

I thought he threw short far more than normal.

That was his job.

He is my friend, an old pal.

I'll call him this afternoon if I feel like it.

Suck my cock.

Ahab.
