Did the 2011 Week 1 Packers Defense Suck?· Page 2

McCarthy was mainly pissed off because Finley was being bear hugged for 15 yards down the field. I think Rodgers didn't like what he saw (I give him credit for not bitching about the no call on Finley) and dumped it to Kuhn for at LEAST a reception so the clock kept going. I thought it was a smart play by Rodgers and aggressive defense on Finley that they were lucky didn't get called.

That said, when the Packers blitz they were successful. When you are up 2 touchdowns it is the time to blitz, not let them methodically march the ball down the field. Same shit with McCarthey - step on their fricken necks - then let the scrubs play.

Still don't like folks saying an active player is a Hall of Fame player. It's inaccurate and uncreative to say, and bah... oh well, society is ignorant.

I don't think the Packers defense sucked. I think it was the first game of the season against one of the best offenses in the league. If this happened in week 4 or later, then I'd put more thought into does the defense suck.

3)Did you expect Capers to blitz every down? Because that would almost surely have lead to more big plays by the N.O. offense. I won't deny they made a handful of really nice plays on blitzes, but the Saints also picked up the blitz on numerous occasions, leading to big gains. Now, late in the game when it was an obvious hurry up situation, blitzing can really fatigue a team if they do it every down. Not to mention whenever the Saints move the ball, those blitzers have to run back to the LOS.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I won't use the word "sucked", yet.

But I don't see how people can say they played a "good" game, either.

1. 34 points, and half a yard away from 40.
2. What, 1 punt? (or were there 2?)

Frankly, it reminded me of a certain Monday night game way back when against Washington.

Game was a lot of fun to watch. But good as the Packers offense is, you can't expect 40 points every game.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Our defense vs a HOF QB, that could probably rip any defense up. (Steelers defense last year amazing ... Aaron Rodgers ripped it apart)

All tho:

Sacked Brees in the red zone on a 3rd and 4 I think ... Let him to 3 points.
Stopped a 4th and 1 or 4th and 2 can't remember (in red zone) ... No Points.
Stopped a 4th and 1 last minute of the game @ the goal line ... 0 points.

I'm not to worried, 3 td's for Brees is normal.

Some things need to be tweeked of course:

Wrap your tackles, Bishop - Hawk - Woodson all missed tackles that allowed an extra first down.
Shields got beat up a couple of play.

Then again that's what an hof qb does...

I too think suck is a little strong but it definitely wasn't good. Part of that goes to NO, they are a good offense, likely one of the better one we'll face all season (outside of practice anyway).

I do think the pass rush needs to improve a lot. Too much use of the 3 man rush. When that happened Brees just had all day to throw and even with 8 dropping in coverage, somebody always came open.

It was probably the most heads up play I've seen Hawk make in his career. A game-clinching play. And it was nullified by a pissant fucking official making a fucking pissant anti-football call. I don't see any contact before the ball was knocked away.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Defense allowed only 1 TD on 5 redzone trips by the Saints. That stat I did like. Didn't like the other 2 big score plays though. On the one Shields just flat out didn't get his jam on and there wasn't enough time for Collins to get over. The same exact play that the Steelers ran against us with Mike Williams. At that distance Capers needs to dial up something different I think.

Zero2Cool (2h) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (2h) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (2h) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (2h) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (2h) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (2h) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (2h) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (2h) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (3h) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (3h) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (3h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (3h) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (4h) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (4h) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (4h) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (4h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (5h) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (5h) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (6h) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (7h) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (7h) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (8h) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (8h) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (8h) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (8h) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (8h) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (8h) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (8h) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (8h) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (8h) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (8h) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (8h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (8h) : I literally just said it.

packerfanoutwest (8h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't

Zero2Cool (8h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

packerfanoutwest (9h) : If packers lose out, no matter what, they are in

packerfanoutwest (9h) : both teams can not male the playoffs....falcon hold the tie breaker

packerfanoutwest (9h) : if bucs win out they win their division

beast (9h) : Fine, Buccaneers and Falcons can get ahead of us

packerfanoutwest (9h) : falcons are already ahead of us

beast (9h) : Packers will get in

beast (9h) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen
