Will Wide Receivers Hold Back This Offense?

[bobblehead]

How many GB Packer WR's would you trade for the top Badger WR ?

Just seems like we got Devante, a #4, and a bunch of #6's

Seems like we have a QB who focuses too much on Devante. This offense was pretty good and we all were giddy when Devante was out. Coincidence?

This year Davante Adams has played in 7 games so far.

When targeted 10 or more times, #Packers are 1-3.

When targeted 9 times or less, Green Bay is 3-0.

Sounds like a winning game plan to me

Richard Sherman was quoted saying Packer Wr didn’t scare them. Face it while fans may like our band of FA WR.
None are a # 2 on most teams . There is a reason they were FA. While they have talent . Good defenses expose their shortcomings.


You need three threats. They have two (Adams and Jones). You could get precision performance and get by, but Rodgers is still running too much extended offense).

Also, Davante's numbers problem point to game script, not a game plan or QB issue.

I agree. When Adams wss out, Rodgers seemed to actually run the offense. Adams comes back, and the other Rodgers comes back - always chasing the big play.

I could deal with this if the defense was shutting teams down, but they are giving up big plays like a dirty college girl.

Teams have adjusted too. Its not just a binary of Adams or no Adams.

[Fritz]

Agreed. But that means The Flower has to re-adjust, and Rodgers needs to run the offense.

Did you seriously see Rodgers "chasing the big play"? What I saw was no time to do anything except throw those shitty little sideways passes or run for his life - our pathetic O Line didn't allow time for anything else. Am I the only one who prefers extending the play to throwing quick often into coverage, etc.? When Adams was out, I saw just as much extending the play and throwing it down the field as with him back. That IMO is the best way to execute the offense - unless, of course, the pass blocking is absolutely non-existent, as it was in the Chargers and Niners games. Against everybody else, even with a minimum of decent pass blocking, Rodgers mobility allowed him to do what it took to win games.

And as for "running the offense", if you mean more running plays, that isn't possible either against a good defense for the same reason - shitty O Line play.

exactly

No, I saw some of those crummy two yard passes, too. I wonder why the Packers can't go over the middle like so many teams do. I was hoping Tonyan could help with that, but he didn't have any impact at all.

[texaspackerbacker]

Same answer - no time because the damn line can't block a lick.

[th87]

Was at the 49ers game and repeatedly saw the receivers get open, and Rodgers refusing to pull the trigger.

Something has happened to him, and better receivers isn't going to fix it.

[woodbuck27]

Or a sign that management doesn’t think this team is ready. After our last 2 years finishing 11-5 is beyond my wildest expectations. We are over performing our talent on this team. We need another year or two to make up for the couple of draft class clunkers TT had that should be some core year 3 to 5 players.

Rethinking my post I agree and the Cap had to be a consideration.

Yes.

and thats the big fear

some of us see the open receivers, others deny it happens

Three 20+ yard deep throws did not connect when Rodgers had time. He has been horrible deep this year with a few exceptions. They sprung two of them wide open.

He is thinking too much, you can seem him wait and put air into the throw when he doesn’t have to.

Crossing routes and slants are too slow, but a deep post isn’t?
