Easy Fix · PACKERSHOME

Actually... It looks like a pretty easy fix for 2009.

I was just looking at some stats.

Now consider the Packers have lost (5) Five games by a field goal, and (2) two games by 4 points. Having won those games would have meant 7 more wins right now and a record of 12-3 with a game against the lions left.

Look at these stats...Now ask the question... Why do you lose close games?

You lose close games by not getting good field position.

Packers are ranked 30th in the NFL in Punting. 30th!

You lose close games by not hitting field goals opportunities.

GB is ranked 27th in the NFL in field goals between 30-39 yards. 27th!
You lose close games due to too many penalties.

Packers are ranked FIRST in the NFL in total penalty yards. 1st!

Crosby's stats between 30 and 39 (75% does not cut it) are shocking. The Punting we all know has been a joke. Penalties... I did not realize Packers lead the NFL with almost 1,000 penalty yards.

Sign F/A Shane Lechler the Raiders Pro Bowl Punter. Get a new kicker who can hit them between 30-39 yards... and cut down on penalties.

See... Easy!

You also lose them by your QB throwing a pick in the last 2 minutes of a comeback, or not moving the team down the field at all during this critical juncture. Or by not scoring enough points to put the game away earlier.

Are we ranked 27th for number of field goals attempted from that range or for field-goal completion percentage from that range?

A thousand yards in penalties is truly a mind-boggling statistic. Consider the fact that the Packers have 5134 yards of total offense this year (342.3 YPG). Tack on an extra 1000 yards and you're averaging 408.9 YPG -- second in the league only to New Orleans.

We've had penalties equivalent to almost three full games of offensive output!

I agree with you Raider, even some of those penalties if you guys remembers not only cost us 1st downs, big yardage plays in the season but also it made us give 1st downs to the opposing team on offense which led to points ... Penalties hurt us this season, so did the punting as it was mentioned by Raider ...

Another thing is the defensive line that killed us this year 2009 yards ...

Now I'd have to add to your post raider that Sanders needs to go ... I don't know if you would agree with me on that.

Now my question is ... how do we handle the penalty situation where does the problem start coaching or players?

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

This getting a new kicker crap needs to stop. Replacing Crosby is the most ridiculous knee-jerk suggestion ever. That would be a bigger mistake than replacing Ryan with Frost.

This team obviously is good enough to compete. They just need a few more players and some more confidence. They have the skill position players, now they just need to work on getting some studs in the trenches.

I would be in favor of signing Lechler.

I also think the penalties on the entire team points to the need for some vetran leadership. We need a Eugene Robinson type of guy on both sides of the ball.
Ted Thompson has a tough job this offseason, but if he does't sign one or two quality FA's this offseason, I think he will have made a grave error.

beast (7h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (7h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (7h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (7h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (7h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (9h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (10h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (10h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (23h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.
