Game 5: Packers @ Raiders - Monday, October 9th 7:15 PM

[OldHeidelberg]

Raiders not very good at anything, sort of like us. Saw in the other thread Jones likely out. I think Adams is in for LV. 

[homer]

the line has moved from Packers -1 to Raiders -2.5

That's a big shift toward LV

[wallus]

I hope they don't cut out the lights if the Pack is winning late.

Not sure what that third down play was supposed to accomplish.

It was a pretty low-percentage throw, that’s for sure.  Maybe everything underneath was blanketed, too, but that’s hard to imagine with three defenders in the area deep.

The all 22 on that would be interesting.

The "try to draw them off on 4th and short instead of actually going for it" might be more effective if it wasn't your go-to in that situation every single time.

Meh.  There's no reason not to try;

[HarryDoyle]

Defenses have to be complete morons to fall for that nowadays.

[HarveysWBs]

If Dillon can average these gains, Jones would be getting 10 a pop.

There's better reason to just go for it.

I swear to God, if MLF has a sheet of plays to run when they're on the fringe of the red zone, he's got to burn it....that endaround/whatever it was to Watson just shot themselves right in the foot again.

[adambr2]

Walker is a total turnstile. Very happy with Anders this year so far, knock on wood. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

Carlson making those training camp concerns about a FG kicker a distant memory to start the year.

It's every single time we start sustaining a good drive, we fart around with something cute and kill the drive.

Yeah, I've seen more bad than good from him - I want Tom over at LT and then see if Walker or Nijman can play RT

Between that and the 4th down hard count, MLF has the market cornered on plays that never work.

Yeah he cant be at LT long term. He will will shorten Love's career significantly.

[Fear The Chorizo]

This needs to be a game the Packer defense dominates and generates a few turnovers

He is terribly average as a play caller. And that is being generous.

[yourout]

Van Ness opened the door on that reverse.

[igor67]

I'm waiting for a team to do a fake out and quick snap after selling the defense that you are just trying to draw them off.. Kind of like Marino and Duper I think it was actually running a route back in the day instead of clocking it.

Maybe there's a reason Rodgers was always calling audibles at the line. 

[adambr2]

Pass rush has come up big on 3rd down.

with MLF, it seems like there might be one good, somewhat innovative play that works, then after he sees that he instantly digs even deeper into the playbook feeling lucky and dials one up that even he didn't have at the top of the playsheet.
