Exactly Non.

Shotgun what has to be 75% of the snaps. When you run the shotgun that often, the instant slant is pretty much taken away, because the ball has air time even to get to the QB, then the grip has to be adjusted. Plus the Dline can tee off, because they are able to learn the Center, who is now responsible for the timing. No hard count to throw the defense off.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I would love to see numbers on how often Rodgers' predecessor was in the shotgun while in Green Bay. I doubt it was even 30% of the time and I'd bet it was significantly less than 20%. I was always a little surprised when he lined up in the shotgun. It was usually on third and long.

Of course, this team is usually in third and long, but we're starting in the shotgun on first and second downs too.

Actually, NSD, I think the predecessor was in the shotgun a lot in 2007. But that's my notoriously bad memory.

Of course, 2007 was within the Mike McCarthy era. I was speaking historically, during his entire tenure in Green Bay. Maybe I forgot to put that in my sentence. If so, I apologize for not clarifying.

IMO Teds doing a good job but Mike McCarthy on the other hand... looking forward to what mike has to say about this loss.

I have tried to remain positive. But how can you, with the same damn mistakes every week? No pass rush, special teams giving up HUGE plays, no pass protection. Penalties. Same crap every week. And it never gets any better.
Mike McCarthy needs to be shown the door. He has shown he has no clue how to "fix" anything.

Not to mention all the "reputation" penalties on defense.

I guess the Packers can't afford to fire anybody and hire anyone else.
Funny that they could afford to offer Favre 20-25 million not to play.

Since we can't afford to fire Thompson and McCarthy I'm betting at least Slocum will be fired.

When Favre finally retires, the Packers cannot sell any Favre merchendise without his permission. The $20 million dollar offer was a marketing deal that would have allowed the Packers to profit off of his name when he retires.

beast (23h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast
beast (23h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?
Zero2Cool (23h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.
Zero2Cool (23h) : I could be wrong there though
Zero2Cool (23h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there
Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it
beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.
beast (8-Jan) : 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) : 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
