This, WPR, is the reason that I started a new thread, like I wrote in the intro. There are wandering arguments that lead away from the original thought.

Zero, feel free to merge it if you so please.

Defense got off to a rough start (the first two drives), but locked and loaded after that.

The Falcons had the ball 7 times after that (not including the kneel down right before the half).

The first 5 drives (middle of the 2nd Qtr through beginning of the 4th Qtr) went for a combined TOTAL of 15 yards and all ended in punts, and the last two ended in interceptions.

There was a lot of bashing of Dom Capers in the GameDay Chat early in the game yesterday, including repeated calls for his being canned.

Seriously? Because the D got off to a slow start for the first 4 (1/2) games this year? Last year, the Packers ranked 2nd in scoring defense, 5th in the league in total defense, and 5th in pass defense.

In 2009, the Packers ranked 7th in scoring, 2nd in total defense, 5th in pass d, 1st against the run.

2008, the year before Capers arrived, the Packers ranked 22nd in scoring, 20th in total defense, 12th in pass, 26th against the run.

Seriously? Is Dom Capers a piece of crap we need to scrape off our shoes?

I do think it is kind of amusing to see good threads have four topics that could be four threads, and then we have four threads that should be one topic, even though we have a thread for it already. You just have to sit back and just laugh at it.

I didn't hear any Dom bashing.

Yes, Dom's the man. He made the half-time adjustments and the Falcons failed to adjust to Dom's adjustments.

So my question is, are we the '09 Saints? Are we now a 2nd half team? It seems both 🇲🇲 and Dom do better in the 2nd half.

*ahem*

For the record...I have been bashing our D all year but have never called for Capers' head. I still wubs him. And Kevin, dude. Chill. We all wubs you too.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

As for Capers, he's one of the best in the game. Whoever is bitching is a spoiled Packer fan that either forgot the 70's and 80's or never saw really bad Packer Football. 5-0, not much to complain about.

Goooosefrabba!

Go Brewers!

As for thoughts on the Falcons game, man, what a defensive adjustment. After letting them march through the field twice, everyone in the chat was ready to behead Capers (me included). Suddenly Capers went all Syrio Forel ("Not today") on our ass and completely shut them down.

This is a placeholder

My main takeaway so far this season: We aren't playing our best ball. Defense is struggling (against some good offenses, but struggling).

And we're 5-0.

Once we do start hitting our stride on O and D then nobody's going to stand a chance.

Does that need to be the 5th week of the season? Nope, just as long as we do it in time for the playoffs/SB.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (3h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (5h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (21h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE
