Well ill keep this post in mind when Sunday rolls around again. And see how the scripting goes. But its just really if the Rams play half as good as the Bengals and the Packers play as good as they did Sunday then im just worried!

But my thinking is........Now the defense has made some improvements....(granted its not 100% but with Capers its much better) That the the offense is getting alot more attention especially with all the Turnovers the defense is making. Some of my stats

FIRST DOWNS (Rushing-passing-by penalty) Pack = 9 - 21 - 4 Opps = 11 - 22 - 4
3DC: Packers = 10/27 and Opponents = 13/29

I want to see the improvement in the 3DC. But lets see what Sunday brings before we start calling for Mikes Head....could still end the season 16-1?

we kept Wynn because he can pick up the blitz

Now that we have two weeks of sub-par offensive line play under our belts, I think this fact speaks volumes. We elected to can a guy who did nothing but gain yards for a guy who shows flashes on third downs but can't stay healthy and a guy who is good at picking up the blitz.

If that was their main reason for keeping Wynn -- and by all indications, it was -- sounds to me like our coaching staff had serious concerns about the offensive line before the season even started.

Through two weeks, Wynn has 3 rushing attempts for 8 yard (2.7 avg) and 1 reception for 8 yards. You're telling me that Sutton couldn't have done better?

It's not like our offense is picking up the blitz anyway.

Weirdest part might be that, on most passing downs, we still have Grant. Saw him slide over next to the RT quite a few times last week. Didn't see a whole lot of Wynn.

I just hope that Jackson has been working on his blocking skills, because I'm pretty sure that we'll be seeing him a lot on 3rd down again. Maybe put Lee in there more. All things that shouldn't be necessary for a normal passing play, btw.

As for this thread, I like it. I wonder as to how much he sticks to his scripting on these first plays as, like said, we keep putting ourselfs in horrible down and distances. Even if it's more execution than anything else, though, it's still up to him to crack that whip and have them stop making these rookie and boneheaded mistakes.

I've read that part of the rationale for scripting plays is to introduce some unpredictability into the offense; e.g., if you end up in a second-and-long situation, the "predictable" call would be to pass, but if your scripted play is a run, you might catch the defense off guard and gain some extra yardage. While I do understand this idea in theory, and I'm sure it can work now and then, it seems to be substituting the element of luck or randomness for solid statistical play of the odds. Sure, you might catch the defense totally off guard (but these are professionals, so I doubt it's going to happen very often), but statistically, you're much more likely to gain needed yardage from a pass play. I'd like to see a statistical analysis of how often these scripted "unexpected" plays actually place the team in a manageable third down situation versus how many just end up in a third and long.

Sounds like a good idea, and something pretty easy to do.

Wynn was kept for blocking and short yardage. Sutton was never in competition with Wynn. Sutton was competing with Jackson.

I was really surprised that Sutton wasn't kept around after Jacksons injury, and when he was let go, I figured Jackson wasn't hurt that bad. Now we have two weeks down and Jackson hasn't touched the field. and no Idea when he will return.

I think we should have kept another back on the roster, maybe Sutton, but another one for sure.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Thanks for this clarification.

I was lobbying for Jackson to be cut most of the offseason, so naturally I was disappointed that they kept him. McCarthy's availability mantra from last season seems to ring hollow.

First post updated. Running at the start of the game continues to be a problem.

Here is the problem I have with this break down. While using a pass run breakdown is convient as far as making a statement in regards to predictability. Is it not always pass or run? True question should be what where the formations. Was it a pass run option? That is how you determine tendancies.
I am therefor 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 (4h) : 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 (4h) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (4h) : 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 (5h) : 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 (5h) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (6h) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (6h) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (6h) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (6h) : 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 (9h) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread
Zero2Cool (9h) : I literally just said it.
packerfanoutwest (9h) : show us a scenario where Pack don't get in? bet you can't
Zero2Cool (9h) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.
Zero2Cool (9h) : 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
