vike daddy Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb didn’t break his ankle in Sunday’s loss to the Jets, but he did suffer an injury that will keep him out of action for a while. Head coach Matt LaFleur said on Monday that the team expects Cobb to miss multiple weeks as a result of the injury, which happened when players rolled into his legs at the end of a play in the third quarter. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/10/18/randall-cobb-set-to-miss-multiple-weeks-with-ankle-injury/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Aaron Rodgers still throws more deep balls than the NFL average over the past four seasons, but he does it much less effectively. When Rodgers airs it out this season, he ranks 21st in raw QBR, 27th in yards per dropback, 18th in completion percentage over expected and 23rd in EPA per dropback. As a result, the snaps Green Bay has devoted to Rodgers’ bombs — he’s thrown the league’s fourth-most passes of 20 or more yards — have drastically underproduced. (He has just the 14th-most passing yards on those attempts.) Look into the Packer gameplan a little more deeply, and there’s evidence LaFleur is well aware of what his offense can and can’t do. The deep out is a classic test of quarterback arm strength, and ESPN’s 2021 “Quarterback Council” declared Rodgers’s arm the third-strongest in the league. But of the 1,041 routes Packers pass-catchers have run so far this year, only 35 were slow-developing deep outs or deep ins. No team has run fewer deep outs — and no Packers receiver has even run an out route of 20 yards or deeper, let alone had Rodgers throw it his way. Meanwhile, Green Bay pass-catchers are running screen routes at the highest clip in the league, and short out routes at the second-highest. Their wide receivers are averaging the NFL’s fourth-fewest air yards per target, at just 6.6. On balls thrown 20-plus yards in the air, their catch rate is tied for sixth-worst in the league, and they’ve dropped more long bombs than any other team’s receiving corps. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/aaron-rodgers-deep-ball-struggles/ discovered and exposed, it seems....

He finally showed some signs of life last week though, but I think it would cost the Packers a pretty penny to bring him in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Would Claypool really help the Packers at this point? He’s not some tried and true veteran who’s going to come in and know exactly what to do and where to be. Trust and chemistry between Rodgers and the Packers’ receivers seems to be the biggest issue with their offense. How would a player like Claypool remedy that issue? It’s probably a solid “long term” move, but is that what GB is looking for right now? I’d be more inclined to believe that they’d trade for a cheap veteran, like AJ Green. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted October 23, 2022 Share Posted October 23, 2022 It’s how Rodgers and the Pack lost that should be most concerning — their lifeless offense, undoubtedly due largely to Rodgers — cannot launch off the ground. Rodgers’ Packers didn’t convert a third down (0-of-6) against Washington. They had 38 yards rushing. At one point, late in the third quarter, Rodgers had 65 total yards passing — he finished with 194 net. https://ftw.usatoday.com/lists/aaron-rodgers-washed-up-packers-terrible-offense-commanders?csp=trueanthem&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A Trending Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR2Xjkom9CuSV8ZVGJYjLqQVBq6P2YEIZ1sRwsFUKV4neR6koB9ji9L2mYg are we atching the beginning of the true end, or something they recover from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Relax Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 The debate on the Packer board yesterday was between the crowd that wants to "fire everybody, including the ball boy and the parking lot attendant, then trade Rodgers;" and the other crowd looking at things with rose colored glasses, believing they will win all their remaining games and be 13-4 again, and be the NFC representative in the Super Bowl. Can the Packers play better and win games? Of course. Will they win the division? TBD, but yes they can. Will they steamroll through the rest of their schedule? Absolutely not. My guess for the off season is that BG might get fired. MLF will likely be kept. AR will go into passive/aggressive mode and get traded, released, or retire.

swede700 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 The only people looking through rose-colored glasses are the WARRIORS who are delusional that a team playing like this without their bye until Week 14 can manage to overcome their deficiencies exposed when they are losing at home to the Jets and Giants and at Washington and 4 of their next 5 games involve going to Buffalo and Philadelphia and at home vs. the Cowboys and Titans. Unless they somehow miraculously can get Doubs to play like Davante Adams, they are dead and buried this season. They may manage to get to 8 wins, but the only way they win the division is if the Vikings implode, ala 2003 and 2016...and I just can't see that happening. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swede700 Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I'm not going to post it since it's filled with a bazillion things that his mom would probably want to wash out his mouth with more than soap, but our dear friend, Carl Gerbschmidt (TheRealCarlG on Twitter and noted fictional Packer owner) posted a video from some Packer fan completely melting down over Aaron Rodgers. It is truly delicious. Edited October 24, 2022 by swede700 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
