Slow day for WRs against Philly

The game against the Eagles had to be some kind of low point for our wide receivers. Here are their numbers:

Driver: 5 catches for 56 yards
Jennings: 1 catch for 8 yards
Jones: 1 catch for 9 yards and a TD
Nelson: 0 catches

Meanwhile, the RBs, FBs, and TEs combined for 11 catches, 107 yards, and 2 TDs. I think it's safe to say that the balance will swing back the other way against the Falcons.

I think the Starks run for 18 yards relatively early in the first quarter set the tone for the gameplan. Had he not been effective, I think those numbers would have been a whole lot different.

I think plan A was the "Balanced offense" gameplan, had it not worked, we probably would have seen plan B - situational running with a heavy dose of passing. Needless to say, I prefer it balanced.

Jones obviously should have had another catch, for 40+ though.

Zero2Cool is my captain.

Im wondering if the wind and cold condition had something to do with the receivers not getting the ball as much ...

Im glad at least we got more of an option vs chicago ... with starks

Jennings dropped 2 and Driver dropped 1. Along with Jones, that is probably close to 100 yards in receiving they dropped.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

It's encouraging that MM appears willing to go with what is working at the time rather than be a slave to preconceived gameplans. This couldn't be coming at a better time since, presumably, the Falcons will be watching a lot of tape of the 20-17 game, and the Philly game. In one game we rushed for about 60 yards and passed for 340, and Philly was about a 50-50 mix.

The damn dirty birds won't know what's coming!

I think the receivers, especially Jennings and Jones, will be highly motivated to perform in Atlanta after their poor showing in Philly. I hope the Packers can get a running game going, but I don't expect them to be as successful with it as they were in Philly.

Rodgers had 3900 odd yards, and a rating of right around 102. I wonder what his rating would be if half of the drops this season would have been completed. Even take away the YAC. Just catches. This season has been unbelievable for drops. Just horrible. One of these times, it will cost us dearly. We thought losing to the Lions from drops was bad. It could cost us the playoffs, or even the Super Bowl.

Green Bay: Home of the Green & Gold. And the hunter orange. And the camouflage.

I know how to fix it.

When Freeman was playing, he dropped a lot of easy catches and made the tough, circus ones. Then a DB speared him and broke his arm. He played with a cast on and really had to concentrate on catching with his hands.

He became a much more dependable receiver after that.

Lets take all the receivers out back and break their arms.

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
