Lodestar Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 The only regular season Packers game I've attended was 2008 in Seattle. I wore a white Aaron Rodgers jersey and got a lot of flak from Seahawks fans (it was his first year as a starter) but I had the ultimate comeback: they were starting Charlie Frye.

Pugger Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I hope those of you attending the game in person give us a report on your experiences afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFP7 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Probably a useless stat but there have been 11 Thursday night games where the road team has traveled across 2 time zones. The road team is 0-11 in those games. Hopefully the Packers can break the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Crazy that Jones and Williams have the same amount of carries, but look at the difference in production. A. Jones 73 Att 494 yds 4 td J Williams 73 Att 270 yds 1 td Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup J. Williams is supposed to be The Closer - a big enough bruiser to grind out the yards at the end of a game - when the defense knows what's coming Kind of a lighter version of Blount in NE and Philly. (Unfortunately, the Packers haven't been sitting on leads late in games so far this season...) Jones is The Playmaker. Their stats will always look like that, in part because of the quickness/athleticism and in part because of the superior vision that Jones has Remember when Williams was first starting out and he kept running into the arse of the OL ? He's gotten much better, but he's still more of a battering ram who manages to fall/fight forward for an extra yard or two. I hope to see both of them kicking some butt tomorrow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOnlyThing Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 As much as they run the ball, Seattle's center and 2 guards can still be had. Looking forward to big games from Kenny Clark and Mike Daniels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 25 carries last week. Rodgers had 28 passing attempts and was sacked twice last week. 25 rushes on 55 plays is a ton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOnlyThing Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Jones carried 15 the ball times. Williams carried 3 times. Raven Green ran 1 time on a fake punt. Rodgers finished with 28 passing attempts. He was sacked 2 times on passing plays. He also finished with 6 rushes for 21 yards. 3 of these were kneel downs to end the game. Thus, GB RBs ran the ball by design on 18 of 51 offensive plays last Sunday. The implication that GB ran the ball by design on 25 of its 55 offensive plays is, at best, disingenuous .

How good are they are stopping the run? I looked it up and they are about as good as we are. They aren't much better than we are against the pass. They are middle of the road at sacking the QB (I still can't believe we are #1...). Their defense isn't the juggernaut it once was. IF we don't screw up we have a decent chance to win this. Unfortunately we have screwed up with penalties and turnovers too much this season and you can't do that, especially on the road, and expect to win.
