Offensive Line Domination: 12 Seconds, WHAT!?· Page 2

It is nice to point to the 12 seconds that Aaron had but NE only rushed 3 guys and dropped the rest into coverage. It also helped both NE's coverage and giving Aaron the time to look the field over that GB was down in the red zone. If they were out between the 40's someone would have gone deep taking a couple of defenders with him and someone would have been able to get open. As it was there was no room to do anything which is why Aaron ran up to the line before dropping back again trying to draw a couple of the dbs toward him.

I was reading that Rodgers was having tonnes of time, I was surprised how we ran the final series before the 2 minute warning that won us the game. Granted Cobb made the catch to seal the win, but with that time I was surprised we didn't try to pass for the first down. It was all for naught, but could of bit us in the ass if we had to punt.

Packers were up by five with 2:40 to go on the 37 yard line. You absolutely RUN the ball twice to burn Patriots remaining time outs. You figure at worst you'll have 3rd and 10 to which you have a QB roll-out to kill more time and only throw if it's open. Otherwise the QB runs and slides, even if it's a sack. You have to eat up the clock here.

Running it twice then passing it was the best scenario, especially since your RB is getting nearly five yards a pop. You cannot throw it on 1st down hoping to catch them off guard. That's kind of gimmicky trickery and I'm glad the Packers just pounded it down their throat to seal the game with the DAGGER!

If Aaron passed on first down and it was incomplete, then NE would have been able to save a TO. Running the ball on the first two plays was the best way to go.

I think it would have been a surprise. I think Lacy was running into known coverage. I think he did better on second down because they anticipated a possible pass. I wish we had a better developed dink and dunk offense. It is my wish for Harris and planned screens.

It all worked out, but I swear I drank a beer in those 3 downs.

What was that about the passing game being a better way to get the 1st down?

Whats wrong with stress? This was an infinitely more enjoyable game for me than the Eagles blowout. Or even the Bears blowout. Why? Because of the stress/ competitive level of play. I want games like this not 50-2 blowouts.

Seems like there is a lot of nitpicking of what was a good/great victory against a good/great team. Let's just enjoy it!

Something like that is incredibly rare. Tight games will usually be the norm, so there will be no shortage of nail-biters to enjoy throughout the decades.

Our guys faced adversity and stood strong. To me, that means more then a blowout.
They had to hold onto the lead, and stop NE at the end, AND pick up a key first down.
When everything is going right, you tend to "relax". They had to make big plays when they counted.
That is where I see this team different then the 15-1 season. The D had to step up against one of the best QB's in football, and were up to the task.
That will build their confidence for the last quarter of the season and the playoffs. They now know that if they play to their potential, good things will happen.

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 (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

Martha Careful (29-Apr) : ty bboystyle...fat fingers

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

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?

beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)
