    More Banjo: Week 5 @ Detroit

    Face plant for one half. Better but not good enough in the second half.

    Turnovers, penalties, errors, a bad call (that ball never touched King) and two big plays killed a sputtering offense and an improved but still leaky D.

    Played like a bunch of youngsters. Led big in yards but trailed in the score the entire game. Red zone is a problem again.

    Jones just doesn't get work in must pass situations and that shelved him in the second half.

    Second worst news (after the offense) might be that ST, a strength last year, is playing horrible and Crosby is now in a funk.

    Injuries: Brice came off the field late, Clark got poked in the face, King was bleeding like Chuck Cecil

    On Jones and pass catching:

    @slightedge17
    Interesting you say that. Maybe because they don’t try it? Every time he [Jones] has had a shot he has done good. College would also suggest your wrong.

    he had the worst receiving numbers of any player in NFL history last season. I’ve written that many times.

        Here's a stat: Sunday marked just the second time in Aaron Rodgers' career that he's lost multiple fumbles in the same game. Rodgers has had a number of games with more than one fumble, but this was only the second time an opposing team recovered two or more. #Packers

        Packers have 11 penalties for 107 yards.

        Mason Crosby is the first kicker with five missed kicks (4 FGs and a PAT) in a game since at least 2001, according to ESPN Stats & Information. https://es.pn/2Pku33V

          Packers are 23-23-1 in their past 47 regular-season games

          9 missed by Rodgers, 5 this year on bad leg. Pretty mediocre though.

            They had plenty of time to give Jones some runs in that second half. Hell they gave some to worthless Montgomery. It's a piss poor excuse. The main problem is a QB and a head coach that only want to win their way, the big pass play.

              I saw Rodgers playing on a bad leg. I saw receivers covered tightly. Rodgers was unable to buy time scrambling, and his accuracy was off.

              I've also seen all year that the Lions are a pretty decent team. PAckers were underdogs in this game for a reason.

              Take away Crosby's nightmare game, and the freaky punt turnover near the endzone, and Packers probably win the game.

                  Mainly, they want to QB to stay upright. And they have never compromised on the back who blocks in pass pro. That's how they got two years of Brandon Jackson.

                  You stick Jones out there and the defense plays the run. And if you pass, greater threat of Rodgers getting drilled.

                    Yeah because they were protecting Rodgers so well the way they played it. How many times did he get sacked? How many hurries? How many QB hits?

                      And your recommendation is for him to get hit more?

                      If they are going to fall behind by three scores while using Jones in a first half, then they are going to have to protect better in the second while passing to catch up.

                      Jones had some awful numbers in the passing game last year (remember all the screen drops?) so it will need to be do or die with both Monty and Williams failing for the plan to change. Because the only thing worse than no Jones is no Rodgers.

                        Bad ST, bad defense, bad offense, bad penalties, bad turnovers, bad sense of urgency, bad execution, bad holding the ball too long. Ugh, ugly ugly game. Is it any wonder we lost? Of 5 games this year, not one has been much fun to watch at all. We got down big immediately in 3 of them, blew a lead against the Queens, and looked horrible against a terrible Bills team. Yawn.

                          Rodgers took the blame for at least two of the fumbles. Really he had a lot of time to throw.

                          It would be nice if Jones were reliable in the passing game because rn when he’s in the defense can pretty much key on run. Even the stupid announcers figured this out with the Graham/Lewis duo.

                          I would agree that you have to give Jones at least a couple of targets just to keep the defense honest. But it’s hard to do when you’re looking 45 yards downfield all the time and coughing up the ball.

                            I think the fear is more blocking than receiving, but I could be wrong. Has to be a mix of both.

                            Given the state of the offense and the injuries though, I am not sure there is much choice. The WR screen they tried to run with 83 in the backfield didn't succeed either.

                              Sure, either or both is sufficient to make him unreliable. But you have to have him out there for some passing downs to throw off the scent.
