Linsley and the Shotgun

What was up (or down) with Linsley's snapping?

How many snaps did it seem that Aaron had to stoop down to get the snap because it was low? I'm very surprised one of them didn't lead to a fumbled snap. Aaron did an incredible job handling all those off the mark snaps.

Linsley better work on that a lot...I've never seen that happen before and never that often.

Aaron had to freeze for a second every time Linsley snapped it liked that.

You want to get it and step back not have to lean forward and down. Had to screw up the timing a little

Helped the Cowboys pass rush, too.

Clean that up!

I also saw that, all the snaps were just too low.

He had some slow motion snaps too. The ball needs to get back there quick

I'd like to hear an explanation for that. I've never seen anything like it in my 40+ years of watching football.

Surprised Aaron didn't go Geronimo on Linsley for continually snapping so poorly. Good thing he's not our long snapper. Mason would've had it blocked if he could've gotten a chance at all.

I think we all saw it and wondered what that was all about. It didn't seem to faze Aaron at all.

Anybody got a video/gif/etc of that "handoff" where the ball kind of bounces off Rodgers' hand and into Montgomery's? Looked weird as hell and I couldn't tell if it was a bad snap, a bad handle, Rodgers just wasn't ready for it, or what.

I'm just glad that the Packers seem to be getting lucky with a lot of those weird bounces lately.

Zero2Cool (8m) : Falcons, Buccaneers would need to win final two games.

Zero2Cool (8m) : Yes, if they win one of three, they are lock. If they lose out, they can be eliminated.

packerfanoutwest (18m) : as I just said,,gtheyh are in no matter what

Zero2Cool (24m) : Packers should get in. I just hope it's not 7th seed. Feels dirty.

beast (47m) : If Packers lose the rest of their games and Falcons win the rest of theirs, they could pass us... but not gonna happen

packerfanoutwest (53m) : they still are in the playoffs

packerfanoutwest (53m) : If Packers lose the remaining games,,,,at 10-7

Zero2Cool (2h) : We can say it. We don't play.

Mucky Tundra (3h) : But to say they are in is looking past the Saints

Mucky Tundra (3h) : That said, their odds are very favorable with a >99% chance of making the playoffs entering this week's games

Mucky Tundra (3h) : Packers are not in and have not clinched a playoff spot.

buckeyepackfan (4h) : Packers are in, they need to keep winning to improve their seed#.

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Getting help would have been nice, but helping ourselves should always be the plan

beast (13h) : Too bad Seahawks couldn't beat Vikings

bboystyle (14h) : We just need to win Monday night and were in

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Or ties, but let's be real here

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Other scenario was Falcons+Rams losses

Mucky Tundra (17h) : Needed a Falcons loss for a Seahawk loss to clinch

buckeyepackfan (17h) : Am I wring in saying if Tge Vikings beat The Seahawks, The Packers clinch?

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : Agreed; you stinks

Zero2Cool (21-Dec) : I'm not beating anyone. I stinks.

Mucky Tundra (21-Dec) : rough injury for tank dell. guy can't catch abreak

beast (21-Dec) : So far the college playoffs have sucked... One team absolutely dominates the other

beast (21-Dec) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (20-Dec) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”
