The New Extra Point Thing

We may give up a bigger percentage of 2 point conversions than we make.

It seems to me that this may turn out to be a little bit disadvantageous for the Packers. Scheming to make up for personnel deficiencies and a "bend don't break" defense spells trouble in short yardage situations, and when we have the ball, our O Line doesn't seem to be able to out-muscle anybody - trouble in the red zone and 2 point conversions.

Bend but don't break is a mentality that is PERFECT for two point conversion stops because the bending is between the twenties and you don't break in the red zone. I am stoked! Screw the league!

Randall Cobb in the backfield will give EVERY defense a nightmare for weeks, no, MONTHS! And on defense, no one is gonna get by B.J. Raji.

The strategy of the game may change completely if this gets used anywhere near as much as it has this preseason.

I don't like Cobb in the backfield. I like Lacy ramming it in for 2 yards, but too often, the O Line lets the D get to him before he can get started. I like the idea of our regular offense getting two - Rodgers finding an open receiver, BUT he's gonna be running for his life like always, and last game at least, things didn't go very well. I like a wildcat with Hundley, but it seems like the Packers don't go in for that sort of thing.

And OBVIOUSLY, I don't like the thought of Raji trying to stop anything. When has there ever been a running play that he didn't get pushed back at least 2 yards? I hate being pessimistic, but I remember too many times in short yardage that teams just lined up and brutalized our D Line.

I think Tex is onto something not on something.

My guess is we will give up more conversions than we make. Can't wait to see a running total of that.

Rodgers didn't like it at all. I'm sure that is largely because he knows they suck down there and Mason can be very questionable at times especially in the conditions he's going to have to kick in late in the season.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Read on pft that through Saturday night 39 of 40 PATs were made this weekend, so very close to the previous average.

As far as the 2pt, if Hundley is on the team in the backfield, I'm happy with it.

Every time we try a two point attempt the play is so funny I can't stop laughing.
We struggle in the red zone, we could have made 60pts per game last season with a decent red zone playbook.
So this is definitively not our cup of tea, it just moves the XP behind our 2pt plays still suck.

Zero2Cool (1m) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (1h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (15h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (15h) : 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) : 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.
