Official Packers - Seahawks Game Thread 1/18/15

I don't know how Kearse (Baldwin?) got that open on 3rd and 19 with eight men in coverage. It looked like the Seattle game.

That's what Capers does in that situation - he has the players simply occupy a patch of turf without regard to where any of the receivers are, and with no pass rush... well, you saw what happened.

The 11th commandment - "Thou shalt never, ever, rush 3"

Rush 3 and cover no one is a staple of Capers and has been for years.

Our roaming prevent LB's were too shallow. They looked setup around the 1st but the WR's were behind.
That was a terrible call by Dom; sending three. Wilson could have cooked a six pack of brats back there he had so much time

There has to be someone on him. Playing the sticks is for the shallowest defenders. The deep guys have to come up. The defense isn't called to have a hole in the zone or 25 yard catches.

wist thinks that is the call, but it clearly isn't the idea. Someone sat WAY too far back.

Play your regular defense, rush the passer, contest the reception, make the tackle and get the fuck off the field... not dunderdummy though - he's amazing, isn't he??

Absolutely agree.

Sometimes guys actually fuck up on the field. Sometimes the coaches do everything a coach can do and players still don't execute or get beat by the opposition to make a play. Everything that goes wrong - in fact most of the things that go wrong - are the result of players not executing or making mistakes or just getting beat by other players.

Expecting the coaches - any coaches - to get their players to never get beat or have perfect execution - is expecting the impossible.

Get the lead - check
Shut down Wilson - check
Win the turnover battle - check
Maintain the lead until you get the team in position for victory formation - check
Recover the onside kick - win the NFC Championship - uncheck
Everything else that occured after victory is secured - irrelevant

The Packers killed themselves today but:

Long live the Green Bay Packer Organization and Packerrats.

There isn't one member here today that isn't a little shocked as this game went.

For reason (s) few experts called the Packers to win this game in Seattle.

it was a marvelous win that was and suddenly ...wasn't.

That really is difficult to take. Imagine how the Green Pay Packer team (Players and Coaches and TT and the Powers To Be feel !? Many of them can't even express their feelings.

This loss is PAIN !

Rodgers showed up today.

They need to solve the red zone issue.

What were Rodgers stat lines (honestly do not know) ? I would not consider him a weapon. He catches the ball well....I'd take him on ST over Bostick for sure....but I don't think he's a guy teams think they even have to put any focus on

If only Dom has a remote that could pause time and space and then could move the players to the right position on the field and then un-pause the remote. The players have to think on their feet, don't they? Of course, he can also call a time-out as his "pause button".

Again I agree.

In any game like this u can question a few coaching decisions. But to me the game plan and play calling was fine. The players didnt execute enough in key situations.

AJ hawk, why are you leaving the one eligible receiver on the fake fg? You had a choice between a kicker beating 3 other defenders for a 10 yard rush, or having to complete a wide open 15 yd pass.
Morgan Burnett, why are you sliding on an interception with 5 minutes left and no one but lineman and the quarterback left to tackle you. I've never seen someone slide on a pick with that much time left.
Haha, why in the world did you flat out allow Luke Wilson to catch that 2 pt conversion?
Brandon Bostick, if you are barely good enough to be on the team, maybe get the fuck out of the way and let your teams best receiver catch an onside kick?
And the biggest GOAT, and it pains me to say it.....Aaron Rodgers. Your defense giftwrapped you the game in the first half. You throw a jump ball for Richard Sherman vs a rookie receiver. You missed and easy TD to jordy on the goaline. And you missed several easy screen passes. You also were not accurate on a few key 3rd down plays that went for completions but were not where they needed to be to secure first downs and key chunks of yardage.

Our coaches put us in a perfect position. It should have been 30-0 at half time. Our offense couldn't get out of our own way.

I saw that movie, it was terrible.

Not even you would pin this on DOM; he was Domgenius for 3 quarters and if not for TWO epic special teams fuckups most of what we witnessed never happens.

I still think every coach in the league would call 3 running plays with a 19-7 lead, under 5 minutes to play, and a defense that had played lights out the entire game. The defense choked in the final 3 minutes of the game and in the first 3 minutes of OT.

Absolutely. You have to execute running the ball and keep the clock going. Throwing incomplete passes hurts far worse than running for no gain. Don't want either result but if guys don't execute that's what you get.

It really does come down to 'the moment'.

Then the next moment....and the next. In the end !

Get it done or face the consequences.

Nailed it !

How many posted this week that ST's would bite the team in the arse!?
