Since I live among many alcoholic mullet wearing cowboys, his celebrations don't really bother me. What bothers me is the pad level at which our O-line is playing with. Jesus Christ boys, grab his facemask and push, like Loadholt gets to.

It doesn't bother me.
If our guys were doing their job, we wouldn't SEE it.
So i blame the Packers for that.

---

You saw that too? lol Huge wingspan of Loadholt, and he catches not one, but two Packer rushers in the face with his paws. It was impressive, not considering it was illegal. I was surprised he wasn't called on that.

---

Please Formo, your O-line gets away with more holding than Al and and Chuck, and that's a lot of fricken holding. Man for man they're really not that good but if the flags never fly than keep doing what your doing. It gives me a nice platform in which to piss from.

---

I think it pretty much evens out.

Mr. Sour Grapes. 😃

---

B. S. my good man, they throw flags on Al and Chuck. I think the flying V formation also needs a flag once in a while. Pretty soon those fat bastards are going to side by side with Peterson.

---

Well, yeah. Of course they do. Al and Chuckles have a history of mugging WRs, eventually they will get caught. And they still get away with it at times.



What? This went waaay over my melon.

Which means that they're overcalling them from time to time. When Bailey or Winfield gets his hand on someone, they don't care too much. When Woodson, Harris or, for example, Roy Williams gets his hand on someone, they're going to throw that flag far earlier.

Pretty much the reverse Brett Favre effect. (As to intentional grounding etc)



I asume that he means that you're playing a borderline illegal formation with your tackles nearly standing in the backfield and your guards on the place that your tackles should be.

I think it's mostly on the refreeing crew than the team playing.. Some crews let the players play more so than others. This isn't a conspiracy against the Packers CBs, if that's what you guys are implying.



Ahhh! I agree that's an odd formation. But c'mon.. That just gives the play away to the defense that it's almost a given it's going to be a pass play. They NEED those tackles back that far if they want to stop the outside rush (just look at the history of Kampman vs. McKinney). But, I'd rather want an explanation as to why they are allowing them to line up so far off the line of scrimmage than just let it go.

I don't think it's a conspiracy, but I do think that they have our CBs on a lot shorter leash because they're known for their physical play. It's something the NFL doesn't like, physical and dominating defenses. They've been favoring the offense with rule changes for nearly 40 years now. Again, it's no conspiracy, but they are looking at players like Harris and Roy Williams closer than other DBs.

And on the O-line formation, I don't really mind. Like you said, it gives away what you're going to do in most situations. The biggest thing I can imagine that Dakota has a problem with is that they have the front of the tackles should at least overlap the back of the center. So they should be on one line in essence. Like I said, it's been borderline illegal, but you're getting away with it every single time so far.
