I think Vic has this one spot on. Excellent play call and if Julius Peppers catches it, those whining about it, would be praising it. Hindsight makes us all brilliant lol

Even if the play worked, even if the fans cheered, it is still the wrong call at the wrong time. Succeeding doesn't make it the right call. Bad call and poor judgement on Mike's part.

Quarless had that great catch to beat Miami. Even though he has 71 receptions in his career he was not who most people would have thrown to in a do or die situation but he had something that Peppers will never have. Experience. Aaron has thrown the ball the ball to Quarless hundreds of times in practice. With the backup QBs, Quarless has 1000s of opportunities in his professional career. I doubt Peppers had more than 10 passes thrown to him in practice. When the game was on the line he flinched just a little. He was too busy thinking about catching the ball instead of just catching it.

If they had this new toy (trick play) that they just have to show off to the neighbor kids then they should have done so on first down. That way they still had too chances if it failed. After it failed on second down they only had one more chance to get the TD. I would have preferred that they tried again on 4th down than take the FG. If you have a crappy defense you can't settle for FGs.

If you want to use the "players not plays" line then you have to have the players who can make the plays otherwise why can you or I or anyone else go out there and try and make the catch too? Why not line up other extremely talented athletes from other sports? You have to have the guys out there who can actually make the plays not just any old schmoe.

It's not a complicated route, nor a deep route. You run 5-10 yards, curl inside and catch the ball. The play was called at the right time with the right personnel. I'm willing to bet 9 times out of 10 Julius makes that catch.

Out of the 60 minutes of the game, its hard to believe fans can be in an uproar over such good called play.


I prefer they have Rodgers under center, play-action while he rolls out when they get inside the 12 yard line. This allows Rodgers to use his feet and his arm as weapons and the defense has to respect both. And I'd prefer it always thrown to Randall Cobb for this season. [grin1]

That being said, the Peppers play was a good play call.

Who knows what they were thinking this time but I'm sure it took a few people by surprise.

Now when Peppers comes in on offense the other teams will think "its going to Peppers" and it probably never will again. Plays like this work at surprising the defense only when you show it as a potential for use far more than you actually use it.

I agree with you on everything else though except I make it 8 out of 10.

Frankly I thought the throw was rushed and awkward, ill timed. This was after the hammy wasn't it? Seemed like he wasn't able to step up or was forcing it out early.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire
Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
