More Banjo - Packers at Eagles Wild Card Game

[CaptainKickass]

I turned off all football for a couple days and all I can really muster up to say about the game is this:

Josh Jacobs Jingleheimer Schmidt tried - and almost succeeded - to singlehandedly will the entire team to the next playoff game.

Every game they've lost this year has been because of self-inflicted wounds. This was no different. The injuries didn't help.
They didn't bring their A game and you must do that as a road playoff team.

The opening fumble (which Nixon recovered, but whatever) and Losing Jenkins were big. Putting Glover/Telfort in hurt their pass protection (along with the penalties) and it snowballed from there.
They've been a bit stuck offensively as of late, I think defenses realized they could have success playing more man coverage.

Defense played ok all things considered, but that pass rush desperately needs help.
Malik Heath had a terrible game. Oof.

Josh Jacobs is a man.

Not sure where else to post this, Dept....

Former Packer and current thread title dude Chris Banjo is being interviewed by the 49ers to be ST Coordinator.

Shouldn't GB be given his services automatically considering his PackerRats legacy?

Who runs the show here at 'Packerrats?'

Post it on the site X account - which I believe has been dead for two years at least. Things get noticed there.

Who the fuck asked you? A coward that can’t even ask for his own account back isn’t someone who matters.

You seem like a nice fellow. So I take it from this, you are in charge here? Also on X? I just suggest dropping posts there and interacting. If not you, then find/ask someone who enjoys that. There are a number of quality sports reporters who will respond, even from opposing teams.

Other than that, I'm not sure what you're talking about.

We do have a Former Packers thread that's pretty active.

Again, who asked you? Stick to posting and if that isn’t good enough then do how you did with your last account.

Message received, loud and clear. I won't try directing traffic here from X. Enjoy your backwater.

Musk has turned X into a free for all sewer pit. Scammers, porn (which isn't all bad), etc. You are better off where you are.

Criticisms of X aside, let me make absolutely clear that I 1) DO NOT advocate a migration from PR to X. In fact, I generally prefer the blog format for football sports, etc. discussion, so suggest the exact opposite direction of migration for like-minded folks. 2) X is populated with many, if not all, football beat reporters who post both free and paid content, and many knowledgeable players, former players, fans, etc. so it is a good source for info. 3) My main point is that a presence there could be used to direct people to PR, specifically those who like a longer, ostensibly friendlier format. Using an imperfect analogy, ignoring X as a source of 'advertising' is much like businesses at the turn of the millennium sticking to newspapers because 'they always worked and will continue to work.' Traffic patterns change. 4) But who asked me. Later, dudes.

Welp. I do enjoy this backwater, it's sometimes stagnant, often fraught with hazards underneath the surface but, like real backwaters, it's a productive ecosystem with hidden treasures.

The backwater has been fine for almost 20 years so we will find a way to stay afloat.

The NFL fined Eagles LB Oren Burks $8,333 for unnecessary roughness (use of helmet) — his hit on Packer KR Keisean Nixon that caused a fumble on the opening kickoff last week. No flag was thrown.

[MadtownPacker]

Such bullshit for something that was truly game changing.

[Joemailman]

Even if they had called the penalty, I think it would still have been Eagles ball. They would have started drive 15 yards further back.
