Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Speaking of poor game decisions, are those popping sounds I hear off to the north the town of Green Bay exploding this morning? Think of having your head coach pass up a "gimme" FG that would tie the game, then at the end losing by 3 points.

RyanC883 Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 I liked the play call. Still lots of time on the clock, and it was a chance to catch the D off guard. Although I would have run it under center and not the shotgun and had the QB sneak. Maximize the benefit of an "off-guard" D. At any rate, Rodgers had a bad game by Rodgers standards. And the Minn D is the real-deal. The rematch should be a great game.

There appears to be little criticism of McCarthy for the decision to go for it and not kick a FG. I guess that's the benefit-of-the-doubt years of success will earn a guy. Oh, yeah, and while we're at it, WTF was with Rodgers and fumbles? Has this been a problem for him all along? Did a LB stomp on his hand or something or did the Vikes see habits they could target on film? Maybe he needs gloves. But that's Exhibit A of why I think it's a problem when a QB fumbles a lot, even if it's recovered. Keep fumbling, and sooner or later your luck in recovery runs out.
Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 If you are going to go for it on 4th and 2 there, let Aaron Rodgers throw the ball.

But if they've lost AP for any appreciable time, the Vikes OL better make an all-out effort to keep Bradford cleaner or they won't keep him long under center. Trade, scour the scrap heap, extra film, whatever.

I have never been a Bradford fan but his play yesterday, after having been in the system for just 2 weeks was very very good. I will be interested to see how he does if he remains injury free all season.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 19, 2016 Author Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) If you are going to go for it on 4th and 2 there, let Aaron Rodgers throw the ball. I tell you what, Rogers did not look good last night. 20/36, 1:1 TD:INT, 3 fumbles, sacked 5 times. Can't tell much from TV - maybe it was coverage. Or maybe it was uncalled tripping and tackling of his WRs, though they called enough. Or maybe his OL needs to give up their Settlers of Cataan sessions in favor of extra work. Be that as it may, until they sort it out I'm not sure I would have given the ball to Rodgers. Lacy still looks slow and fat to me or I'd say, give it to Lacy. Give it to 2014 Lacy LOL!

He looked good with the Eagles last year and played 14 games, I was kind of surprised they moved on from him. Its the "if he remains injury free" that's the big question.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 they are thrilled http://www.acmepackingcompany.com/2016/9/18/12964004/packers-vikings-final-score-green-bay-offense-stinks-in-17-14-loss The Packers picked up just 263 yards of total offense in the game, while Aaron Rodgers was 29/36 for 213 yards, two scores (one rushing) and a killer interception late in the game. He also fumbled three times, losing one. They're mad about that? That's a banner day for Tyrod Taylor.
mob16151 Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 They're mad about that? That's a banner day for Tyrod Taylor. What's even funnier is hearing Redskins fans complain about Cousins 364 yards passing.
TheFunPolice Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Zimmer is an awesome coach. His first year was so so but now he has built up that defense and has them clicking A chip shot FG last year and they would have beaten Seattle in the playoffs
Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 What's even funnier is hearing Redskins fans complain about Cousins 364 yards passing. If you saw the game you'd complain too. Actually, they're not complaining about the yardage but about the misses to wide open receivers and the late, strange pick. Redskins were almost lucky as Garrett made a really boneheaded decision to go for an early, unnecessary onside kick, which Dallas turned into the winning points. BTW, how did Dak slip to the 4th round? Romo may not get his job back when healthy.

As an aside,can you imagine a Bills QB throwing for that many yards. Lol
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted September 19, 2016 Posted September 19, 2016 Must be tough being a Packers fan.. right?
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 (edited) Must be tough being a Packers fan..Not tough, but I do almost have a little sympathy for them. They are stuck with a crap coach who hasn't been able to fully utilize all the talent on the roster aside from the Super Bowl season. Sounds a little like what some think is happening here. There is no way this team shouldn't be better. They have failed to reach their potential the last several years. Aaron Rodgers is their QB for crying out loud They have far more talent then us, although I know plenty of posters who would disagree. They should have gone a lot father than they have in recent seasons. Edited September 20, 2016 by DriveFor1Outta5

nkreed Posted September 20, 2016 Posted September 20, 2016 How often does this really happen? If you watch the Bills D, actually quite often...
