To add even more reasons to the failing running game, the defense isn't watching the long-ball that much anymore, it seems.

Pretty often the safety's sneak up, the LBs play closer to their D-Line. Since Favre loved to throw it deep and Rodgers mostly throws it at the short routes, so they can just get some more men in the box and give up a 5 yard gain. Wich can backfire, like we've seen aswell on some plays.

This might just be my imagination ofcourse, so correct me if I'm wrong.

check long ball stats between Aaron Rodgers and BF

tell us who has more 20 yards and 40 yard completions :thumbleft:

Favre: 20 yard completions: 11. 40 yard completions:4

That's an overly simplistic comparison. There's a difference between a 20 or 40 yard pass beng thrown down the field and a 5-10 yard pass the receiver is breaking for a 20 or 40 yard gain. I have no idea how those numbers break out, but comparing the end results doesn't address the underlying question of who is throwing down the field more often. I'm not sure those numbers are going to be available without scouring through box scores.

The Packers run a west coast offense and the Jets run a more down field passing game so I would assume the Jets will have more attempts down field and since Brett is their QB they will have more completions than the Packers.

I'm not sure what the color guy was watching, but I kept watching our guys trying to arm tackle and reaching for their pads instead of hitting the mid section and wrapping up.

I think it's a matter of being one click off from being in the right spot. They are lunging because they are a few feet off from where they need to be to get in a good athletic position and deliver a shot.

In many cases the DL are not getting it done holding up the line of scrimmage and are being pushed back allowing for a down hill affect which also results in some of the arm tackling by the LB's.

All I know is I saw a lot of hits two/three yards down field and guys being drug another two or three. What was aggravating the hell out of me is it looked like we had the run bottled up for no gain or little gain and they would end up with four or five.
