More Banjo - Packers vs Chiefs

[Upnorth]

The defense is bad. If you disagree tell me the name of the chefs punter. I have no clue because he didn't appear in the game.

3 stops, 1 punt, one int, one turn over on downs. All 3 when it mattered.
Early on 2 times in a row, we got td, they got fg.

Itwas a good d games. Not great, but good

Since trading Rasul Douglas, the Packers are 4-1 and the Bills are 1-3.

Thank you for cutting through all this detailed analysis bullshit and getting right to the center of the issue.

Goddammit, if the trade deadline hadn't passed, they could trade Jaire and win the Super Bowl, baby!!

Fun aside, glad to see someone else - runpmc I think - also thinks Kelce was trying to sell that push in the back on the Hail Mary.

That's the most enjoyable Packer game I've seen in a while. I am concerned with Alexander though - he's been hurt most of the year, and I think he was last year, wasn't he? I wonder if he's going to keep getting hurt and going in and out of the lineup.

However, I did hear they have some other corner that they're bringing back, and maybe he could help.What's his name? Stopes? Smokes? I vaguely remember him, but he hasn't played since nineteen and ninety four, or so it seems. Boy, what a shame. Had a reallly solid rookie year, but since then, it's been injuries and lousy play. We'll see.

Maybe all the gambling he does.

PFF Best, Worse scores.

Top 5 offense

1. QB Jordan Love: 91.8
2. WR Christian Watson: 88.9
3. WR Dontayvion Wicks: 85.3
4. C Josh Myers: 73.7
5. RB A.J. Dillon: 73.2

Love produced four “big-time throws” and zero “turnover-worthy plays.” More on his performance later. Watson caught seven passes, scored twice and averaged almost 2.5 yards per route run while also adding 15 rushing yards. Wicks caught three of four targets and had another catch of 20+ yards on just 16 routes run. Myers allowed one quarterback hit but graded out well as both a run-blocker and pass-blocker. Dillon gained 51 yards after first contact, caught his only target for 14 yards and was excellent as a pass-blocker.

Top 5 defense

1. S Darnell Savage: 85.0
2. OLB Kingsley Enagbare: 78.5
3. CB Keisean Nixon: 76.9
4. DL Kenny Clark: 65.2
5. CB Carrington Valentine: 64.9

Savage delivered two stops and a pass breakup and allowed just one catch in coverage in his return from injured reserve. Enagbare produced a pair of pressures and was solid against the run on the edge. Nixon gave up four catches but was otherwise solid in both coverage and run support, and his interception was a huge play. Clark added six more pressures, including a sack and a hit. He has 20 pressures in the last three games.


Bottom 5 offense

1. RG Jon Runyan Jr: 54.4
2. WR Malik Heath: 55.5
3. RB Patrick Taylor: 60.9
4. WR Jayden Reed: 61.4
5. LG Elgton Jenkins: 62.5

Runyan gave up two quick pressures and was only so-so in the run game. Heath dropped a pass. Taylor had an explosive run in the first half but also gave up a pressure. Reed ran 20 routes and caught four passes but managed only 16 total yards. Jenkins gave up two pressures and was the offensive line’s lowest-graded run-blocker. The offense did not have an egregiously poor performance from an individual.


Bottom 5 defense

1. DL Karl Brooks: 35.0
2. LB De’Vondre Campbell: 49.1
3. CB Corey Ballentine: 53.6
4. OLB Lukas Van Ness: 56.2
5. OLB Preston Smith: 57.4

Brooks missed a tackle and was the defense’s lowest-graded run defender over 24 total snaps. Campbell missed a tackle, gave up four completions in coverage and was poor against the run. Ballentine was credited with allowing six catches, and he was penalized for pass interference. Van Ness had a sack and two total pressures but struggled at times against the run. Smith had a sack but it was his only pressure over 28 pass-rushing snaps.


Special teams

Isaiah McDuffie and Kristan Welch had the two special teams tackles. The Packers didn’t miss one. Henry Pearson (offside on kickoff) had the only penalty. Anders Carlson made all five kicks, including two clutch field goals, Daniel Whelan put both of his punts inside the 20-yard line and Keisean Nixon had a 35-yard kickoff return. Robert Rochell (14 snaps) had the highest special teams grade.


Quarterback

Jordan Love: 91.8

Love dazzled. He completed 20 of 23 passes from clean pockets, hit 12 of 15 passes off play-action, found four completions thrown 20 or more yards and didn’t have a turnover worthy play. He even averaged 8.1 yards while under pressure and successfully handled the Chiefs’ blitz-happy defense. He had one pass dropped and two throwaways, so his adjusted completion percentage was once again almost 80 percent. The Chiefs pressured him on 16 dropbacks but finished with just two sacks. Love’s 91.8 overall grade was a career-best.

God-damned media shitheads!

[CaptainKickass]

Just a couple neat additions I didn't see anyone else post:

1.) Packers finished with 129 rushing yards on 25 carries (5.2 yards per carry).

2.) Per the Elias Sports Bureau, the Packers are the first team in the Super Bowl era to have three rookie tight ends catch a TD pass in a season.

Quay is meditating now. He is past his issues. /sarcasm

/s for sure! We all saw him choke slam that dude!

[Fosco33]

In addition to the refs not winding the clock on the non fumble - they didn’t do a 10sec runoff either on that PF/DQ.

I always chuckle at quay Walker. Everything he does is more rude and disrespectful than it has to be. It’s heart warming, really.

[MadScientist]

In addition to the refs not winding the clock on the non fumble - they didn’t do a 10sec runoff either on that PF/DQ.

Here's the rule:

WHEN DOES A 10-SECOND RUNOFF OCCUR?
When there is a 10-second runoff, the clock starts on the referee’s signal. A 10-second runoff occurs when a team commits any of these acts after the two-minute warning with the clock running:

An offensive foul that prevents the snap (e.g., false start)
Intentional grounding
Illegal forward pass thrown from beyond the line of scrimmage
Throwing a backward pass out of bounds
Spiking or throwing the ball in the field of play after the down ends (except after a touchdown)
Any other intentional foul that causes the clock to stop

There is a 10-second runoff if a replay review of a play after the two-minute warning results in the on-field ruling being reversed and the correct ruling would not have stopped the clock.

This runoff only applies to the offense. The defense always has the option to decline the 10-second runoff and have the yardage penalty enforced, but if the yardage penalty is declined, the 10-second runoff is also declined.

A full swing does sound like an intentional foul that causes the clock to stop, but it's possible that the guidelines are for something else. Or perhaps they thought an ejection-worthy full swing was too stupid to be an intentional foul.

Also, the original call was a TD which stopped the clock, so maybe they didn't consider the punch as the thing that stopped the clock.

Love 5-7 on throws 20+ yards downfield. Quite a turnaround from earlier in the season.

[Joemailman]

The Green Bay Packers claimed 2019 third-round pick David Long off of waivers from the Carolina Panthers on Monday, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

The Packers will be Long’s third team in 2023. He signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in March and was claimed off of waivers by the Panthers in November.

The Los Angeles Rams made Long the 79th overall pick in 2019. The 2018 Big Ten All-American at Michigan won a Super Bowl as a member of the Rams in 2021.

Long (5-11, 196) has appeared in 63 career regular season games and made 12 starts. He spent two seasons with current Packers defensive coordinator Joe Barry while Barry was the linebackers coach and assistant head coach in Los Angeles.

Packers had an open roster spot. He's also played a lot of special teams.

I thought for a second he’d get a flag for that, but all the while I was thrilled to see it.

Wayne Simmons is his godfather.

I think the last point is correct. If the foul is not why the clock stopped, no run off. In a different situation a personal foul would trigger a run off.

Itwas a good d games. Not great, but good

They got better as KC needed to pass more and run less. The first half they didn't break, but boy did they bend. I am barely complaining because if you limit the chiefs you did your job. Bottom line, I'm not declaring them "fixed" yet, but I will say "improved" but still suck overall. Nixon's pick was huge. The final turnover on downs happened because we gave them a long field, not a ton of time and needing 8 to tie. Again, they did what they had to, but its not like a stop in the middle of the 3rd quarter.

And yes, we are 4-1(or whatever it was) without Rasul and likely headed to the playoffs if this isn't a big tease....Be honest, would you feel better entering the playoffs with or without Rasul??
