Damn LaFleur

[mraynrand]

The comments from Frenchie about his whole game plan being wrecked because Williams got hurt is asinine. Jones is still better than Williams. I really do not understand why we kept running into the brick wall of the Eagles and they were 100% susceptible to the pass and we decided to keep running into the teeth of their defense.

Narrator: Pack ran 20 times and attempted 53 passes. three bad runs in each half.

Packers first run was Jones for a 3 yard TD
Packers second run by Jones was for 7 yards
Packers third run was Alison for 7
Fourth Jones 0
Fifth Jones 0
Sixth Vitale 3
7th Jones -2
8th Jones 4
9th Jones 4
10th Rodgers 4

Half

11th Jones 4
12 Jones 3
13 Jones 0
14th -2
15th Rodgers 14
16th Jones -4
17th Rodgers 14
18 Rodgers 11
19 Jones 4
20th ?

Jones is a better runner, but Williams might be a better one cut runner. Result is that Jones can hit bigger runs, but Williams is more consistent in this offense. Less no yard runs I think.

But saying your game plan got trashed because a RB went down is a poor excuse. However, the other guys scored 27 points.

Still worried about defense.

left 10-14 points on the field too.

Defense collapsed. It's interesting how an effective running game just absolutely puts a defense on it's heels. Imagine that.

Its the down and distance. Makes third down miserable for the defense.

Short fields don't help. They were really behind the gun in this game.

Yeah, run-first works ....... if you have a decent O Line and if the opponent has crap for a D Line. Even then, it takes a decent passing game. That's why the Eagles were successful and Denver wasn't.

Just the same, I would have expected Pettine to do a better job of adjusting - like maybe getting those two fat cows, Lowry and Lancaster out, using the LBs to fill gaps instead of taking themselves out of plays.

Most of the blame goes to LaFleur, though. We shoulda been able to outscore them even on a bad night for the defense.

M4 gives Rodgers 4 shots from the 1 without running the ball and you blame M4 but Rodgers is god. Do you see a flaw in your thought process....and oh yea, he actually called one run/pass option that Rodgers opted to pass and ended up throwing the ball away in about 2 seconds.

Did you even read what I said?

"All this run-first idiocy - wasting downs running it into the line on first down repeatedly in the game, then when they should run it, they don't."

1st and goal from the 1 as well as 2nd and goal from the 3, it's dead obvious even with our lame-assed O Line that you try once, twice, or more to run it in, but Damn LaFleur chose those times to depart from his run first idiocy.

[Fritz]

1st and goal at the one, and 2nd and goal at the 3, and all the crap about run-first, then they choose not to run. LaFleur's play calling is down right idiotic. Even with the pathetic O Line the Packers have, they should be able to push it in from the 1 or even the 3.

And the only thing more pathetic than our O Line is our D Line. Probably LaFleur thinks the team can run the ball because it works in practice - against damn cows like Lowry and Lancaster.

Wait, so you wanted them to run the ball? When the Packers have the greatest quarterback of all time back there, with four downs to work with? What the hell is wrong with you?

I'm sick of all you whiny bastards calling for running plays when the Packers have the best who's ever played the game at the quarterback position. You give Rodgers four shots from inside the ten yard line, don't waste any of that trying to run the ball. That's stupid. That's wasting your talent.

There . . . how'd I do, Tex?

[texaspackerbacker]

First and Goal at the 1, you run - Period.

Pretty much any other time or place on the field, yeah, you got it, although you forgot to mention how shitty our O Line is hahahaha.

Pragmatists only run the ball when it’s successful.

[George Cumby]

I miss Favre’s short yardage QB sneaks. I don’t recall seeing that much with Rodgers.

I think that pretty much stopped after 2 concussions in 2010 even though that's not how the concussions happened.

Minority Report but for play calling.

"Coach! Coach! A red ball! Call a run!!"

Brady is awesome at this. I wish the Packers did it more.

Matt LaFleur estimated explosive gains from Cowboys accounted for roughly 361 yards: "There were far too many explosives. There's no doubt about that."

Rodgers is playing at an MVP level. Twitter is littered with hilarious bonding moments between Lafleur and AR. Packers are 6-1 and one of the favorites to win the NFC. The offense is playing better than it has in years with one different starter from last year and no Davante Adams.

I’m not so sure Lafleur is the Problem, Tex....
