More Banjo: Week 9 @ Los Angeles Chargers

[RashanGary]

AR wasn’t mad at MLF cuz he knew it was just a bad run. MLF didn’t freak out on AR cuz he knew the same. Nobodies upset. They’re gonna regroup and play more solid football next week.

I was "handling" it just fine, especially the last month or so, until I heard MLF say that. the "spead" BS wouldn't even be in the playbook if it weren't for Rodgers.

MLF wants to air it out on 2nd and 4 or first and 5 after an offside. He doesn’t want to be forced to air it out because of score or down and distance. In context, what he’s saying makes more sense

[RashanGary]

A football guy like Lafleur, he just assumes everyone knows what he means by “we don’t want to be about dropping back and airing it out.” What he’s saying in full context is, we don’t want to be in situations where we have to do that because it gives the defense an advantage.” If you read between the lines, that’s what he was really saying.

[RashanGary]

We don’t want to be about just airing it out means two things

1. We don’t want to be so predictable in what we do that teams pin their ears back and kill our QB

And

2. We don’t want to be so bad early in downs or early in games that we’re forced into predictable play style that allows teams to tee off



That’s all he’s saying.

Good Post within limitations. We've got major personnel deficiency in both lines, and that ain't gonna be easy to overcome.

Let Rodgers be Rodgers - unleash him ....... that will do wonders for the offense.

Let the Smiths be the Smiths - unleash the pass rush - a lot more blitzing. That will do wonders for the defense even if it opens up some lanes for teams to run on us.

[mraynrand]

Chargers had constant pressure on Rodgers despite blitzing just once.

Natch.

yes but not from spread and shotgun formations all the time. the proliferation of that is from rodgers, the "work in progress" O, the mish mash of mccarthy and MLF's O. i'm not blaming the loss on rodgers. there's plenty of that to go around. i'm just saying that part of the O needs to go. i'm not saying MLF is mad at rodgers either. i'm just saying i think that may have been an "i told you so" from MLF to rodgers. rodgers goes public and sends messages through the pressers. i hope this was one from MLF to him. three possessions in the first half is terrible. back to ball control and moving the chains.

[mraynrand]

3 penalties (delay of game, 2 false start) 2 sacks he mentioned. Put them in bad down and distance situations. Takes you away from run.

Get to second half and maybe down 9 you can reset (he specifically mentioned down by less than 2 scores two times) and you can probably run your offense. But then the SD TD and game script takes a turn for the worse.

You can't have those penalties on the road and they needed a better answer to that pass D.

Sometimes, when the D dares you to run it, you should run it. Right down their throats until they are forced out of their defense.

even if you are behind by 3 scores, you have to do what works

the spread crap hasn't worked in years. we know that

do what works, take what they give you

this was stubborn mike mccarthy crap yesterday (or the aaron rodgers offense)

The Flower isn't going to be under center using a play fake on 3rd and 9. We are talking about marginal instances here, not the whole design.

That said, this game was probably the game to start with 2 TE and run, run, run. But that is hindsight talking.

I can't believe anyone thought Bulaga and Bach would look so bad against head and shoulder fakes. They weren't even being abused by speed. They were probably too focused on speed to b honest.

Agree. But you need snaps to do that and they can't be 2nd and 15 or 3rd and 9.

You do realize that the Chargers gave the Packers 4.1 ypc? It wasn't a dominating performance, it was just better than the pass game.

The Packers are Top 10 in the League in offense with that spread crap. That spread crap ran up the score on the Cowboys and the Chiefs. It nearly won back the game against the Eagles.

Even at its worst last year, the Packers offense was mediocre, not terrible. They were never the Browns with Rodgers at QB.
