More Banjo: Week 2 vs. Minnesota

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Maybe it's just the dominance of the hip hop safety and his pals on defense.

12 had no problems dismantling that same D in '16 when he had Cobbs, Adams, Nelson and Cook.

Adams, Sloth, MVS, seemly washed up Graham ain't a potent aerial attack.

After the first quarter, how many times did Rodgers even attempt to throw the ball to an outside receiver or a TE. I can remember a couple of throws to Allison, one throw to Scandling, and one throw to Graham. He doesn’t throw interceptions, so they have to be very open for him to attempt a throw

They’re either not open, not on his progressions for that play, or...he doesn’t have trust in them.

It’s frustrating for me to watch so much good, on time QB play around the league and then watch Rodgers hold the ball. What the flying fuck. The only good thing is he doesn’t turn it over. That’s really helpful.

With ya. He held it too long and was inaccurate when he let fly after the first 11 passes. Even those he wasn't stellar, just had guys wide open a lot. He missed MVS for a TD by underthrowing it again. Was high on another that allowed D to carry him OOB. Rodgers looks bad unless you are watching some bad teams in which case he looks average.

They have to stay calm and keep working on it. They have two more home games before the road chaos throws them off. Now is the time to get this shit cleaned up. I’m gonna keep hoping.

For now, I agree. Being in a base offense, under center, threat of the run and then play action is their best bet until to get another weapon functioning.

Long term, they need a WR.

Amen.

It might be time to get back to drafting WR's in the 2nd round.

Gonna have to watch the game again. Rodgers did miss short at least twice. Bobble thought a third.

But given the tentative way Allison and MVS played at times, looked like they need another WR.

[channtheman]

Y'all blame the playcalling, Rodgers, LaFluer, whatever.

The truth is, the Packers lack receivers - plural - that can get open consistently.

Pack have Adams and who else? Wankers.

Meanwhile, DK Metcalf had another nice game today.

I agree with this. I don't know who Metcalf is but our receiving corp sucks. One number 1 guy and a bunch of number 4's. Maybe MVS makes a step up but right now he's just OK. Allison is unfortunately useless. I think it was him that ran the 0 yard route on 3rd and 1 and then couldn't squeeze upfield quickly enough to pick up the first down when we went for it on 4th down. I don't even know our other receivers names are except Kumerow, but he must really suck to hardly see the field above any of the other jags we have.

Also, that 4th down going for it was a bad call. We so desperately needed those points and something positive to happen for us at that point in the game and if Cousins doesn't gives us the game with the easy INT at the end, we might have lost because we didn't kick a field goal there.

JFC. Apparently ESPN requires a premium membership now to hear either the games or postgame radio shows live. "Will be available tomorrow after 3PM."

My world has exploded.

Personally, I thought Rodgers played a good game. Some strange (fumbled shotgun snap) and some good defensive plays where Rodgers the pinpoint passes.

This is what I’m seeing, also. It’s early, though.

[Gotarace]

It doesn’t look like he’s trying until it’s too late. They gotta re-program his brain to move a second earlier.

His Spin move in the pocket turning his back to the play is concerning with his lack of Mobility so far this Season.

Metcalf and Isabella were available. Took a fuckin center instead.

Yup, I'm watching some random backup QB for the Saints -- they just said his name, Bridgewater (former Viking?) -- and I saw a screen pass and then another pass that looked better than any throw from Rodgers I've seen all year. Both Bridgewater's plays got called back for penalties but the throws were on point, accurate, and on time.
