More Banjo: Week 2 vs. Minnesota

[pbmax]

If the Packers offenses can improve enough to put up 28+ points a game, coupled with their defense, they will win a lot of games.

I can find no fault with your logic.

Question: What does the 2 play call look like for 3rd and long?

On other downs, earlier or shorter, pass/run, it can be the same. What about a well defensed 3rd and long look? What is the call?

Pro Football Focus offered this as context for Cousins’ INT on 1st-&-goal from 8: “From the opponents’ 10-yard line and in, Cousins ranks 27th out of 27 qualifying QBs in passer rating (76.5) since 2017, completing 44.6 percent of his passes w/ lowest yards per attempt avg (1.6)

I was chatting with a friend I hadn't seen in MANY years but from what I did see watching the game, he was NOT GOOD.

That late INT was such an unforced error. The Packer D was tired and on it's heels a bit. Bad play call, and bad decision by Cousins.

The Packer should have had a Minimum of 4 interceptions...he looks real gun shy with any pressure applied. Clean pocket he looks like a world beater.

Nice matchup between the Running Backs. Difference was that long TD run.

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.

I agree with this, and there's still the possibility one of the youngsters will pan out, but I can't help but think isn't that why they have Graham -- to play a de facto vet WR role?

World beater might be a stretch but yea, you are mostly correct.

I suspect Rodgers wants options to match defenses. But his alternates are either young (MVS, ESB), old (Graham, Lewis) or buried on the depth chart (Kumerow). Plus a new offense with a new focus on the run. Vikes just bracketed Adams.

So how much of his offense is out there? Hard to say. LaFleur has definitely agreed to put him in shotgun quite a bit. But that hasn't been a good option so far though I have not lost hope there, because Williams has run out of it OK.

I think they need to run the base and just add in bits as they go.

However, I do think its a good question what the heck their plan is on 3rd and short because its been problematic. Also, what is the plan on 3rd and long because shotgun has issues too.

Everyone suggested 6 weeks to figure it out and that might be exactly true.

Well, I agree it's not a high class stadium in a billion dollar industry with fucking bleachers....

PS...you don't need to be trading for Minkah, I'll be back I promise....

[Bretsky]

I was really down for this signing; but I'll say the obvious

Right now Jimmy Graham Sucks; he can't get open. He's not fast enough and he doesn't run good enough patterns. We are short a weapon on offense. Allison is not a #2. MVS and the other WR's need time to develop.

The HOCK was the prefect first round draft pick but he was gone so we got stuck with Shary

And AROD has to lead Aaron Jones on that pass. That should have been a TD and then it would have been game over.

Instead it took Viking incompetence to sneak out a win where the offense sleepwalked through the entire second half
