So I guess ya'all prefer a team like the Bears to a team like the Packers? Ideally, we have super D AND super O, but that's pretty rare. If it comes down to one or the other, I'll take offense hands down, and not just from the standpoint of interest as a fan - it also IMO is a better recipe for being a winning team. I don't hear many people saying, "the Packers still suck".What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

If you can only have one, the good offense is better because it is more entertaining and you will win games against weaker teams and get to he playoffs. Unless your defense is good you won't get to the SB, let alone win it.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View Post2025 Ratpickers champion.Comment

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. To win it all, you need some degree of good D too. Problem is, though, the consistent top D teams seem to be that up and down type - feast or famine, win it all then drop down for a while. The Giants are the example that comes to mind, although I'm sure there have been others.
Speaking for myself, though, no way I would trade the quarter century or more of excellence the Packers have had through the Favre and Rodgers years just to have an up and down team like that. I suppose there are others who see it the other way around, but I sure as hell don't.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

Packers favored by 14. Jags will again be starting rookie QB Jake Luton who played well last week against Houston. Jags pass defense is 28th in the NFL, allowing 280 yards per game, with 17 TD passes allowed with 6 INT's.I can't run no more

Good news for me, I have Robinson on my fantasy team. If the Jags D can play at least halfway decent, he should have a ton of yards before they get too far behind.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostOriginally posted by 3irty1Comment

The even better thing is when DirecTV gives you free NFL Sunday Ticket, you don't need to worry about these maps.Comment

I appreciate the sympathy, but my wife and I ditched cable and installed an antenna, and Fox is simply no longer available to us. Thus, I am forced to go to sleazy websites on my computer in order to watch Packer games while ads are inserting themselves everywhere on my screen, asking me if I'd like to meet hot European women.Originally posted by Joemailman View Posthttps://506sports.com/nfl.php?yr=2020&wk=10

Packers place Dexter Williams on IR; sign former Cowboys RB Mike Weber to PS. Weber was 2019 7th round pick.
Feet - Love the timing of his footwork and step frequency pressing the line of scrimmage. Runs with impressive rhythm and balance. Modest burst is generated off his plant foot but his pace and timing helps overcome that.
Vision - Wonderful field vision and spatial awareness with a nuanced approach to attacking it. Effectively patient and works off his blocks. Always two steps ahead and he always a plan. Impressive feel between the tackles and attacking the perimeter. Confident and decisive runner that does well to anticipate creases.
Pass Protection - Was not frequently tasked with reps in pass protection but his effort is adequate. With that said, his anchor does not appear overly stout. Needs to be more effective fitting his hands and leveraging his hips in pass pro.
Receiving - Is a reliable target out of the backfield and he was featured a decent amount as a receiver at Ohio State. Some impressive reps where he extends and plucks the football outside his frame. Quickly looks to create yards after the catch after he secures the ball.
Balance - Does well to set up tacklers and make it difficult for them to square him up. Impressive ability to absorb contact and continue up the field. Regularly spins out of contact and remains controlled stringing together moves. High steps allow him to get through junk around his feet.
Elusiveness - Has some wiggle, agility and juice about him although he isn’t overly dynamic. Can create some space for himself with his unique blend of power and finesse components as a runner.
Power - He is a physical runner that features a low center of gravity and runs with an aggressive mentality. With that said, he doesn’t have game-changing power although he is plenty strong.
Competitive Toughness - No questions here. Weber competes to the max on every touch, battling for extra yardage through contact. Effort never wanes and he is never shy about exchanging power. Not quick to find the sideline.
Versatility - Has at least baseline ability in every area, making him a multifaceted back that can help an offense in a variety of ways. No glaring restrictions are present in his skill set. Has potential in gap and zone schemes.
BEST TRAIT - Balance
WORST TRAIT - Pass Protection
A staple across the last three seasons for the Ohio State offense, Weber is a nuanced runner with a minimum baseline skill set in every important area. What really stands out with Weber is his pace, timing, vision and balance as a ball carrier. He’s an effective receiver with good power and enough elusiveness to be dangerous in space. Weber should be a quality rotational back at the next level that offers quality contributions in every facet.
