The Elephant In The Room

Final report on carnage:



http://host.madison.com/wsj/sports/f...182a473c9.html

most of those guys were lost after the blowout was pretty much a lock

thought i would throw that out there before people start blaming the loss on losing those guys

just shows how pussified this team has become, we suffered about 15% casualties for one game

[ptisme]

Correct me if I'm wrong but we were only missing one starter on defense yesterday (Shields). Seven first rounders on that defense... 16 draft picks in the first four rounds on defense since 2012.. The defense is not good and the man in charge of it needs to go...

[vince]

He has had several carries with the Walter Payton loaf of bread hold and I have thought he was going to cough up. Its part of his style.

Now you're just trolling me. 34 carries 4.4 ypc 2 TD's and no mention of fumbling. Now he coughs one up and it's McCarthy's fault for giving him the ball in that situation because his ball security has been a problem the whole time? Someone else says, "How could Stubby give the ball to a lineman in that situation."

That hindsight-driven "analysis" seems reasonable to you?

yeah pretty much

but people will say its because everyone else on defense was playing hurt, unlike atlantas D which i'm sure were all 100%

[Rutnstrut]

While the D needs to get the majority of the blame for yesterday. The offense was far from stellar against a mediocre at best Atlanta D. Atlanta was so injury riddled on defense earlier this season that they signed AJ Hawk.

[Bretsky]

Very. Here's another one that yours prompted me to look up...

The Packers gave up 42+ 3 times in the last 11 games.
In the 15 Brady years (267 games, since 2001) the Pats have never given up 42+.

ONLY ONE HOODY GENIUS; WE COULD TRADE OUR WHOLE DRAFT FOR HIM....IF...HE WASN"T THE GM TOO

Sounds to me like we made a lot of crappy 1st round draft picks on defense......TOP OF HEAD......HOW MANY GOOD ONES DO YOU THROW OUT ??

Matthews
Ha Ha

A .333 batting average on first round draft picks is not good

[Bretsky]

out of all playoff teams this year, we ranked dead last in yards given up

for the season

we ranked 21st in points given up per game
22nd in yards per game
28th in yards given up per play
19th for 1st downs allowed per game
24th for third down %
24 for 4th down %
23rd for penalty yards


yeah, lets all talk about how we should keep capers

Dear Captain Obvious

Please print off the last 5 drafts and let me know how you think about our defensive selections.

[Bretsky]

to hammer that home

we needed to score 45 points, or 7 TD's or 6 td's and a FG. but we needed to score of at least 7 possessions

we had the ball 9 times

if we had settled for more then 1 FG, we would have had to score on all but 1 possession

so really, once rip fumbled, we had no chance to catch them

this is about spot on

[Bretsky]

Ok....fuck it. Is it really time to let a new GM take over and roll with this thing? I am always hesitant to change in this way but fuck it!

ANOTHER ON BOARD WITH MELVANIZATION !!!!!

[The Shadow]

I think Capers need to go. I'm fine with Ted.

[texaspackerbacker]

I think Capers need to go. I'm fine with Ted.

Get rid of Dom and his scheming and compensation, and this house of cards that Ted built to go along with our all world QB falls flat.

[Pugger]

I'd rather try a new DC before we go for a new GM right now.

[Pugger]

Things get tough when you don't execute and let the other team get out to a big lead.....Going in everyone knew it was going to be a game that took scoring in the 30's to win. Putting up 0 in the first 2 drives was the death knell for this team....they needed to just hang around by scoring and they didn't...we all knew it going in.....had they hung around early...they had a couple opportunities for turnovers in the first half....they didn't keep hanging around and didn't make the plays when they were there....This D has been making those plays lately, just not yesterday. The NFL has gone to high scoring and limiting what D's can do.....I feel the O let this team down and the D got torched like we thought they would....I tell you what, better O limits that though.

But no matter how good your O is they aren't gonna play lights out every week and this is why you need half way decent defense to compensate when your offense has an off day. Considering the state of this team right now unless Rodgers plays lights out we lose and lose big.

I'm down. Do it now.
