Same stuff I've been complaining about for four weeks. Running the ball on 2nd down too much. Running the same staples of our offense in high leverage situations. Adams slant. Slot receiver on the right running a flare screen while the boundary receiver blocks, in particular were painfully predictable tonight. I'm sure the guy next to me at the bar hated me after a minute as I predicted the plays to him. The lack of shot plays. Refusing to run the ball in the redzone. Kicking the XP at the end of the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much more are we expected to dump into it ?? Simply can't happen It is a coaching philosophy thing. Teams are gonna run on Pettine with the way he plays. Not many teams can win running more than they pass. That's all it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only play so much cover-2 in the 2-3-6 before somebody tries to punch you in the face. It takes a good offensive line and a patient coach to do it, but it happened tonight. We had been able to survive against lousy units on Clark being a stud inside. We finally ran into a team that could slow him down enough that the Lowry weakpoint became apparent. I know a lot of people are going to make WR the number one priority in the offseason after this one, but it's still OT. And then it's DT. Clark needs a running mate and he's not on our roster at the moment, and I like Adams. At this point would you rather have Extra LB instead of an extra DT? I feel like even though Goodson isn't great he probably should see the field more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is you can't count on Bulaga with his injury history. Now, Bak is having issues every week. I think ILB is an area that need to be addressed as well. Martinez was terrible tonight and right now we have nobody else. Highly doubt Gute is ever going to spring for an ILB early. He's more about the premiums than Ted ever was. Martinez is going to get killed on this, but he was put in a position to fail by the coaching staff. Being the only competent second level defender when the other team is willing to run is a very rough gig. There's a reason teams aren't playing 5-1-5s around the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kicking the XP at the end of the first half. How many times did they run the ball on 2nd down tonight? There were only 15 called runs and 1 of those was a jet weep to Allison Agreed on the variation in route and play combinations. Shot plays were hard to come by with the pressure the PHI front was generating and with Light in at RT. GB averaged around 1.7 yards per rush by the RBs.

When Burks comes back I think we're athletic enough to play with 2 ILB. Now I'm assuming he's made a leap from year two and can be in the right spot. Time will tell, but we need some help inside at the second level. Man throw Fackrell in there, he's pretty athletic. 93 is terrible. Adams coming back will help, but Lancaster was getting washed out terribly all game. Lowry was not much better tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaire_Island Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 2 things - Run D needs to get fixed.. and every defender in the league knows when we are going to run the ball. I guess its Arod Fault. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopackgonerd Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 interesting rodgers said he had scantling deep this play, still think this was a poor call at the 2 minute warning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
