Week 14 Other Games Thread

[pbmax]

In the dreadful home game against Lions, Packers were in similar situation. They let Rodgers throw a quick back-shoulder throw to Adams for 3 or 4 yards just to give Crosby a better shot. No way would Rodgers be so dumb as to hold ball 3+ seconds and risk a sack. Even so, it was a slightly risky play.

Yeah but it put them in a spot of the field with a hole in the ground near Masthay. And the rest looked like a boomerang.

Are you being facetious? Hindsight.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Hindsight.

hinder sight - pb pulled that story out of his rectum.

During this down period for the O, I've noticed something that makes me wince. When we need to move the ball down, one of the staple plays seems to be those smoke routes thrown parallel or only slightly down field. I keep freakin' out, it seems that eventually a DB is gonna jump a route and take it back on us. Isn't there anybody who can run a decent route downfield or a deep cross or somethin'?

Jones and Adams get zero separation and this is the only routes that have any room. I guess Adams and Jonesy are dinged, but Goddamn, somebody should be able to shake cover other than Cobb and RicRod.

[Rastak]

Still will probably come down to the last game match-up.

Good luck next season, Ras.

Hey KY. Sorry for the late reply. I agree, unless you guys go on a hot streak which is certainly possible it may come down to the final game.

It's been a far more interesting season in the North than I thought it would be.

I expected GB to win the division, Vikings and Lions doing battle a ways back and the Bears dropping down to last.

[smuggler]

I had a feeling the Lions would fall away. Viking D was on the rise, so that was the logical choice for the division #2. We'll see how right that logic holds.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I was rooting for the Vikings against Arizona. I want the NFC-North to be tough and competitive. I want the Pack to have to beat Minn to win the division. It's more fun that way. I need some excitement in my life, man.

You know, I've noticed the same thing. I keep wondering when a DB is going to swoop in and turn that into a pick six.

I also wonder what happened to the back shoulder throws? You don't have to be open to get one of those; in fact, it's better if you're not ahead of your guy. James Jones, where'd that play go?

I'm so starved for excitement in my life I was rooting for both teams to lose. That's never happened in the history of the NFL to my knowledge! Alas, the bigger the dream the greater the disappointment.

And I am not sure RichRod gets open as much as he is just bigger than his D counterpart.

Would a tie have been acceptable?

[Maxie the Taxi]

Would a tie have been acceptable?

Marginally.

Good idea! Watching it on the Zenith with my girls...Now that's really living it up!

I withdraw my "good luck next season" comment. With Zim coaching, you guys will be ready to go & won't need any luck.
