I am all for throat stomping up until time becomes as big of a problem for them as you are. Some people don't realize three consecutive runs can actually result in a first down even if the defense knows it's coming. You mean like what happened against GB at the end of the 1st half vs Seattle? GB knew the run was coming, Seattle was trying to run the clock out for the half, got the first down and now we have a thread about time management.

I'm guessing they weren't super comfortable with Williams in there. That would be weird. Williams fumbled once every 157 touches or so in college. While Aaron Rodgers has fumbled every 80 or so drop backs/carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Given the fact that the Seahawks defense was already heading into the lockerroom, getting Rodgers out there even for what 30 seconds ish? and a couple snaps could have been a quick 7 if it had gone the other day, and we'd be calling it smart.

It was mathematically impossible unless seattle threw an incompletion or otherwise stopped the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 given on how GB's D had been playing to that point, them throwing on third down wouldn't have been surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would risk throwing it with only 40 seconds left on 3rd down and potentially giving the ball back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spilltray Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Ok I was thinking they'd get it back with like 3-4 seconds left if they stuffed the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannondale Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Coaches are weird. I'm sure there was a game where this strategy worked 5 years ago - we got a field goal - and MM will chase it again every chance he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should've been the coaching staffs sign that they were running out the clock. No I'm not worried about MM however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubz41 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 The fact remains that MM has played 'not to lose' quite often. Whether it's defensively or offensively. Playing 'not to lose' is a mindset and after a while it filters down through the team. I think MM is a good coach who has been bailed out by the best QB in our generation. (the best, not the winningest) He does a good job of calling plays, but gets conservative with a two score lead. Greg Jennings was moved to mention it recently and it was easily seen in the playoff game against Seattle. That 'not to lose' attitude is why we seldom get to relax in the second half of games we should be cruising along. Maybe the MO is changing though, Marty Bennett made the 'seal it' catch on Sunday when I fully expected another running play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReadyToThump Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 My main problem(s) is he seems to make it really obvious when we're going to run the ball. The other one is a lot of the time we don't attack the MIDDLE of the field enough when passing the ball and our routes are a HIGH majority of deep/sideline routes, which take too much time to develop a lot of the times. These two things have worn on me since MM took over and seem so obvious to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well within Crosby's range. Defense is KILLING IT. At that point they went 63 yards on 8 plays. 15 yards rushing and the rest on 4 completions. How can you be mad? They didn't run the ball down the field. They had 2 6 yard runs and a 3 yard run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugger Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Yes, his time management can be frustrating at times along with his challenges. I wasn't thrilled when he was calling time outs late in the first half last Sunday against Seattle. Why stop the clock for them? Let them use their TOs and go into halftime tied seeing we get the ball first after the break Over the years he often has tossed his red hankie when he shouldn't have. He does seem to not cherish time outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
