More Banjo: Week 4 vs Buffalo

[hoosier]

Packers are bogging down when they get in field goal range. So far, 8 offensive TD's and 10 FG's. Compare to 2016 when they had 51 TD's and 26 field goals.

The million dollar question: is it execution or scheme? I've seen plenty of poor execution, from dropped passes, inaccurate throws and botched running plays to a perpetually leaky offensive line. Although I have always liked beer and still like beer, I am not qualified to pass judgment on the scheme

Because I care about truth, justice and the American Way, I looked up the list of running backs with most carries per game.
Aaron Jones got 12 yesterday, the same number that Minnesota's speedster Cook gets each week.

Packers are a pass-first team with 2 1/2 good men at the running back position. Maybe Jones could use a few more, but you moron armchair coaches think McCarthy is out of bounds. I'd say anywhere in the 12-16 range is ideal, given the Packer situation.

Yes, but Cook is averaging lees than 3 YPC. Shouldn't the guy averaging 6 get the ball more than the guy averaging less than 3? If Jones had Cook's average, I don't think people would be clamoring for him to get more carries.

You're right, in a game when Jones is that hot, he should have gotten more carries.

Jones has had very few carries, we'll see at end of season if Jones is really so much better than Cook.

I am liking the Packer O-line this season.

[Fritz]

Where are you getting snap counts this early in the week?

I don't think he means exact number of snaps; he means Moore or less.

Nice trick. You young people are wizards.

For a Marquez, I thought there was Scantling evidence he was making it all up.

Thank you. But you still owe us Kenneth Dixon's average number of carries. I can't stand the suspense.

Problems in the red zone is an old problem for our offense

Big target TEs and wrs we’re suppose to fix that problem

Its not a red zone issue, I don't think. Its a 35 yard line issue. Lots of 40-55 yard FG attempts.

That's weird what beer does. My daughter was at the game yesterday, had a beer, thought she saw Fackrell jump on Allen, then Clay piled on, knocked Fackrell off, then Allen then ran away - out of bounds. Funny thing, no one else saw it, including her friend who was sitting right next to her, my daughter can't remember what quarter it happened in, or what side of the field, and now she tells me she doesn't know how she even got to and from the game!

So Packer fans have this going for them, which is nice.

Buffalo's D was a big part of how they won 9 games last year. Putting up 22 isn't great, but not awful either. GB was sloppy with the ball - dropped passes and fumbles. The Rodgers pick was on a tipped ball. I find it hard to imagine targeting anyone 20 times in a game, except maybe during the Favre-Sharpe era...so I'm wondering about the sanity of that comment. If Adams was so open and dominant, why wasn't he targeted more? I thought Tre White covered him pretty well.
Rodgers was not his best yesterday, but neither was the playcalling. Hope they learn and improve vs. make a big deal of it in the pressers.

I'm ok with Jones splitting snaps. Ty was pretty effective as a receiver, and Jamaal gives you everything he has. I don't think Jones is built to be a 20-25 carry back.
I think they could give Jones a few more snaps at the expense of the others, but a 40/40/20 split between Jones, Williams and Ty would be fine IMO in general.

A chunk of that also assumes there are matchups they can exploit, Ty can be a factor there.

good point. Makes sense.
