NFC Divisional Playoffs: Rams @ Packers - Saturday, Jan 16th, 3:35PM

And there’s another patented Packer specials team issue.

Can remember the last time the special teams had a clean game.

[CheezWizHed]

Our ST is maddening, but bad long snaps have been very rare.

[young guns]

Maybe let's not try to shovel pass to Crosby ever again.

Yeah, you could see the sheer panic on Scott's face - I can't get rid of this ball soon enough!

[HarveysWBs]

I wonder if Pettine is a RB denier. As in, he doesn’t think they actually exist and are just urban legends.

And there’s another patented Packer specials team issue.

 

 

I see the Rams are ranked below the Packers in ST's DVOA and in that Dallas papers yearly ranking...but it's really hard to imagine how.

[PinaMadness]

I happened to get video recommendations on Youtube of Mennenga's press conferences and made the mistake of watching them. It made me sick with him just giving out stock answers like "We just have to put them in positions to make plays."

[HiAndTight]

Our ST is maddening, but bad long snaps have been very rare.

 

 

They have been. Kinda wish they'd just go down in that situation though. There's ALMOST zero chance they'll actually score on that.

 

Also...so much for the pressure being on the Rams here. Good play calling by them to not panic and just start dropping back. Ackers keeping them alive right now.

Need a fumble

[CheezWizHed]

Prevent defense = prevent stops.

Close. I think he's a middle-earther. He denies the middle of the field exists.

[HiAndTight]

Need a fumble

 

Or a pick. Or even just a FG. Keep Snacks in there...

[yourout]

Way to easy.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Rams right back in it. Huge answer TD for them.

[PeaveyFury]

Everything going according to plan? A devastatingly stupid special teams play and a horrid defensive drive will fix that!!

[wildcat83]

The 2nd and 6 out of the 2 minute warning was 100% a run and we get gashed by it. They weren’t going to risk the Packers having time left.

[HarveysWBs]

Ugh. Ugly series. Rams aren’t going to lay down, guys. Need a solid third quarter to put them on the ground for good.

[PinaMadness]

When a team gets the ball back in a two minute situation it's pretty much guaranteed points.

[yourout]

This is one of the few times it's ok to return the kick.

[adambr2]

A TD here and you can effectively eliminate their running game.

 

The Rams did not agree.

[CheezWizHed]

Barnes out there with a club. Somehow I missed his injury...when did that happen?

[OldHeidelberg]

Every single play worked on that drive. Defense laying down when we are feeling good is like death and taxes

[HiAndTight]

Prevent defense = prevent stops.

 

I don't even think we were in prevent, that was just bad defense. And Geoff made some nice throws.

 

Do we try and get press our luck and come out throwing here or just go into the half with a 6 point lead?

[MrTPlush]

This is one of the few times it's ok to return the kick.

 

I’d rather give Rodgers an extra pass.

[HarveysWBs]

This is one of the few times it's ok to return the kick.

Unless that returner is Tavon Austin. A fumble sets up a go-ahead TD for LA. I don’t need that in my life.
