Game 5: Packers @ Bengals - Sunday, October 10th, Noon

Pathetic defense.

 

Had all the momentum before half and now pissed it away.

[PinaMadness]

Not what you want to do when you kick off to start the second half.

[adambr2]

Far be it from me to defend King, but that’s on the pass rush

 

King still sucks and misplayed the ball badly.

[jason21nl]

Not only should that ball have been knocked down but should have been picked off

Wasn't that Savage?

[adambr2]

Well so much for getting anything back before the half. What a poorly played last minute by the Pack.

I thought for sure I saw #20 whiff, but I could be wrong.

[SDBrew fan]

It was Savage.

[PinaMadness]

King wasn't anywhere near the play. I can understand why people would think that though.

The network put the camera on King like it was him, I think that's where the confusion was. Inexcusable not to knock that down but he was probably a little out of control sprinting to get in position.

[DuWayne Steurer]

Thoroughly outplay Cincy for most of the first half, other than their first drive on a short field, and piss it all away on one dumb play. Our defense is so bad.

It's amazing how defenses know the ball is going to Adams and they still can't stop it.

Is Davante Adams the best Packers WR of all-time? He might not have the longevity numbers (yet), but he’s probably the most talented.

Here's a breakdown of the play.

It's still Sterling Sharpe, but I would think DA would be right behind him.

I’d argue he doesn’t have the longevity numbers either, but he also didn’t play with Favre (much) or Rodgers either. Stellar QB play has buoyed WR stats for the last 20-some years (see Jennings, Greg).

[PinaMadness]

What a terrible throw by Burrow. Thank you very much.

That’s a fair assessment, although the defense looked pretty good for the first 29 minutes. I think you could assign equal blame across all 3 phases. Rodgers had the pick, plus special teams had 3 miscues (missed PAT, 31-yard punt, and a 43-yard return).

[PinaMadness]

I don't think you need longevity to realize Sharpe was on a trajectory to be the second best receiver of all time. Same for Adams. They've proven themselves in their short time.

The defense did play good, like I said. For most of the first half. But like they said, 0 - 15 in the last 15 tries against opposing offenses in the red zone. You play well for 29 minutes and 23 seconds and then give up a 70 yard crossing route. It's just things "good" defenses don't do. This shouldn't be a 2 point game. For multiple reasons.

[jason21nl]

The OL really needs to get healthy

[HarveysWBs]

I love AJ Dillon. A part of me thought we’d really miss Jamaal Williams. I was wrong.

[adambr2]

Well we got something. This has all the looks of a close finish.

[OldHeidelberg]

Starting to give up yards after contact on runs, need to toughen up

[yourout]

Caught a break on that holding call....weak sauce.

[jason21nl]

Way to hang tough D! A nice long drive ending in points would be nice now
