The Official Packers-Cowgirls Discussion Thread

[Guest]

Yo Tex, give us the 411 on ‘Merica’s Team, your 2nd favorite NFL team.

I used to root for a 2nd NFL team - even a 3rd team, too. The Milwaukee Badgers and Racine Rednecks went bankrupt and don’t exist anymore. Abominable capitalism.

Gamblers, if I put frogskins on the Packers at +3.5 against ‘Merica’s Team, the Packers have to win by at least 3.5 points or lose by at least 3.5 points for me to win my frogskins back, plus change, right?

Dropping back to pass success doesn't seem to indicate the Packers need to run more. But they probably need to run better.

The red line is the frontier of establishment, also known as the don't do that-diagonal.

Fuck the cowbois.

Measuring passing efficiency (right) against running efficiency (left) with rate of dropping back to pass versus run (top v bottom). Efficiency is defined as expected points added.

Ideally, you want to be centered.

The chart is basically measuring you tendency versus your efficiency. So all those teams in lower right are running a lot more than efficiency would suggest.

But this doesn't account for the flow of the game. Regardless of this chart, I would not have stopped running if I was the Eagles last week.

I enjoy the fact that ATL, NO, and NE are tightly clustered.

I'm just having visions of Zeke going off for 150+, I hope I'm wrong.

Apparently Burks is getting some limited practice. Adams is day to day. Bulaga and Mt. Adams not practicing..still?

Didn't realize until today that Crosby's wife had a tumor removed from lung in August (non-metastatic, no rad or chem therapy required fortunately)

Weird: Dak is 28/28 in the third quarter this year. Cowboys have scored a TD on their first possession of the third quarter in every game.

Graph is saying, whenever the Packers run the rock consecutively on 1st and 2nd downs without moving the chain, they end up punting 99.9% of the time.

Kellen Moore might have solved their Head Coach/Owner problem. Temporarily I am sure, but still.

Without a doubt, this is gonna be my 1 point game in Pick'Em.

The Dallas offense kinda got exposed last week, just like the Packers run D two weeks in a row. I have to think Pettine will come up with something to stop their running game, but I'm really worried we will be left open to passing. You know Randall Cobb is gonna be fired up; I think Alexander is good enough to shut down Amari Cooper, but you never know. Look out for Devin Smith against Kevin King.

The Cowboys D Line is good, and their LBs are super, and it doesn't take much to stop the Packers running game.

It's gonna come down to Aaron Rodgers winning the game for us vs. Dak winning the game for them. That would seem to favor the Packers, but the horrible disparity in O Lines gives Dak a big advantage.

I'll take the Packers - of course, but it'll be close, and as I said, just 1 confidence point.

They're saying now Davante Adams may not play; I think we will be ok without him, but that too is questionable.

I know why you don’t like the Packers OL. They’re not comparable to Dallas. But we have a 35M QB. We could have three top tier OL for that price. So AR wants the money. That means he has to be better with less surrounding talent because that’s what his contract causes.
