More Banjo - Packers vs Titans

[Freak Out]

Dafney who?

[MadScientist]

Not much bad to say!

I few missteps in the kicking game - Crosby with an uncharacteristic XP miss and the blocked FG try. Called back for an offside the announcers seemed to think was phantom so hard to tell if that was the cause.

The announcers were dumb fucks on that one, just whining that a play that might get TN back in the game to keep things exciting. The ref who made the call is standing on the line. It's a simple, straight forward call. No judgement there.

I kinda felt like the refs made a couple of bailout calls (the hands to the face, the offsides), but the first one was legit. On the offsides, I agree it's hard to say if you're not standing on the line. The refs also missed Jones stepping out of bounds, so all the Packer haters out there will have lots of fodder for the "Packers cheat" and "The Refs and League office want GB to win" conspiracy theories. There really weren't many penalties called in this game which (pleasantly) surprised me. They just let them play.

True about the penalties. Most of us woulda been raising holy hell if the shoe had been on the other foot. I hate to say it, but it reminded me of the way the refs favored the Celtics in that first Bucks game. Shit happens, but is it really shit when it's in your favor? hahahahaha

Probably the most satisfying Packer win for me in a long long long time. Just going to enjoy this for a bit.

Cool!! For sure. I can't even claim to know anything because I think best case every year. But this is pretty much the best case that a few of us foreshadowed. Glad that best case finally came though! Most years my best case ends up looking like a bunch of bullshit.

But the defense is definitely taken a step. All of that practice and effort they put into learning how to play zone defense is paying off with the way the mixed and masked their looks yesterday. That is oh so promising. Three years of being a young and inexperienced secondary have morphed into a really damn solid young veteran bunch! Keeping the band together in the secondary has to be a priority! They've just now figured out how to do this thing. Keep it going!

Linsley coming back for this game was also a “Game Changer.” The whole complexion of the OL and what we could do upfront changed. Dude is a total stud!!!

[Bretsky]

Linsley may be the best center in the NFL; he's a stud.

AJo is history; still one of my favorite all time Packers though. I hope he gets filthy rich wherever he goes

Yeah, AJ is a situation where they let it play out. If Rodgers somehow didn’t play well and AJ did then they might of entertained keeping AJ with a Rodgers exit strategy in mind but with Rodgers probably winning MVP the numbers just don’t add up in Green Bay for AJ.

I think we’re gonna start to see even more of Dillion moving forward on this run. Gute pretty much had all bases covered either way.

Except at WR!!

However; as I’ve posted if what we saw yesterday is real on that defense it might not matter. With a defense that plays like that and an MVP QB with what they do have would be enough in the current NFL landscape.

[GB-Brandon]

I love AJ Too. Dillon is a MULE. They can re-sign Williams for cheap. You can find a speed back all day long in the 4th-5Th round. It’s just the way it is. Gute is going about it the right way here.

You don't want to be #92.

Actually, Tannehill is a great athlete. He was a good college WR (had 844 yards receiving as a freshman) before moving to QB. He ran 4.58 40 at the combine. For comparison sake, Davante Adams ran a 4.56 at the combine.

I went and looked at his numbers after my last post and saw his time, I was shocked! 4.58 is certainly a respectable time, and while Adams gets caught from behind he doesn't get a 10 yard 2 mississipi's before pursuit starts!

[GB-Brandon]

Yeah, Tannehill is fast. He used to run the ball when he was with the Dolphins all the time on zone reads. I’ve let that play go. I saw what I needed to see. Overall, collectively for the first time this defense played with the vision we have all been waiting for!!!!

I saw it with a play here and a play there with Savage in the previous weeks with a little more here and a little more there and incrementally growing. He is Fucken dialed in right now. Amos is playing like a beast too. When you get safety play like that and then have a near shut down corner in Jaire it opens up so much. Throw in the new juice coming with Gary and it’s BEAUTIFUL!!!

[GB-Brandon]

They are also getting really good snaps out of Kamal Martin. Barnes has been helpful too.

This is pretty much it. 3rd and long or playing from behind and needing to score means certain things for the running back position. Things like pass protection, screen ability, intelligence and chemistry with the QB, route running and hands, and maybe the ability to run a little too. Those things matter more when you have to pass than pure running ability. Must pass situations are a decent part of every NFL game and a huge part if you're behind to a good team in the playoffs. Other than Kamara and McCaffrey, Williams is the 3rd best 3rd down back in the NFL. And because he's cheap and played so much ball with 12,it makes him even more valuable to our team.

As far as Dillon, he is a speed back. He's just as fast as Jones. He will break many a huge run in his career.

[RashanGary]

Dillon finally getting comfortable in the offense combined with the 3rd down back who 12 loves working with because of chemistry and 33 who 12 also loves working with due to chemistry and game breaking ability......

We have 3 very different and very talented running backs. It is one of the biggest position luxuries and strengths on the playoff contending teams.

WR/TE we have just enough with Adams, Lizard, Big Bob, with the 4 spot a mix of (EQ/Mercedes/MVS/Austin/the new FB and Stergberger)


Elite QB
Elite RB stable with perfect compliments
Upper tier OL
When healthy just enough pass weapons to be considered solid)



That offense, in the salary cap NFL, is absolutely loaded. LOADED!
