Can someone check the Play By Play and see how many Starks runs went for a first down?

Thought he had a productive night. The yardage and ypc numbers won't say so, but after a rough first half where the Falcons were emphasizing keeping the Packers one dimensional he broke off some good runs to keep the offense running in the third.

This team is never going to run like it did against the Eagles, especially not since teams know it can happen. He does, however, keep the offense balanced and forces teams to respect the run.

He had 66 yards rushing and I wouldn't be surprised if that's about how many he had after first contact. He ran hard and fought for extra yardage. I just wish the offensive line had given him anything to work with. This game might have been even more of a blow out.

The run blocking was no better than it was in the first Atlanta game. The difference is that what were three yard losses for Brandon Jackson are no-gainers or even short gains for Starks. That makes a big difference, because when you consistently get negative yardage on runs, you really have no choice but to shut down the run, and obviously it puts the offense into bad down and distance situations.

Dammit, Greg, you stole my thunder. That's exactly what I was about to say. Well done.

That's what I was thinking when someone said the OL did well. I thought, really? I remember Starks having a helluva crowded backfield when he grabbed the ball quite often, lol.

I will concur that the run blocking was subpar from some of their efforts.. but the Oline (and backs and TE's) brought the bacon home in pass protection.

Damn fine game overall.. sure a few guys got loose or a couple well scheme blitzes left guys open.. but overall they get a A in pass protection and a C in run blocking.

How is that grade weighted, Shawn? What's the overall grade? 😉

Mucky Tundra (16h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (19h) : HUMP DAY

beast (19h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (19h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (19h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (19h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (19h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (19h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (19h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (19h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (20h) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (21h) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (21h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (21h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (21h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (21h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (21h) : 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 (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : 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.

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

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

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.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
