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

[HarryDoyle]

Four extra days to prepare for this game and this is what we get.

[adambr2]

This might be the most boring offense in the NFL.

[young guns]

Why didn't they call a timeout?

We don't have Aaron Jones and the rest of our RBs suck. If we can't take some shots downfield with the QB we took 3+ years ago in the 1st round, we don't have the right guy. 

A QB who has all his weapons not named Jones.  Watson is supposed to be a game changer.  Where is he?  Doubs is supposed to have this rapport with Love?  Where is that tonight?  We had a week and a half to get ready for this middling defense.  We’re unprepared, and I’m ready to put MLF squarely on the hot seat.  They won’t, of course, because “it’s Love’s first year as a starter” and “we’ve had so many injuries,” but there’s no excuse for looking this bad.

it's weird that I think it'd be a big plus if this game is still a 1 score ballgame at half with the Raiders getting the ball to open the 2nd half...but that's where we are right now, unfortunately.

Just nothing even threatening downfield because I don't think they trust their line to pass block long enough against Crosby and a bunch of guys.

Going to be an awfully long season if we shut down the offense and go into turtle shell mode every time we face a defense that has a competent pass rusher out of fear. 

[young guns]

What happened to quay?  I missed him coming out.

[Fear The Chorizo]

McDaniel and MLF taking turns at bungling 1st half timeout decisions...why burn one there?

 

[adambr2]

Classic 3rd and long Berry'd.

they're saying knee...he walked off but hasn't been back in

[yourout]

Straight from the MM handbook....calling a timeout before 4th down.

And giving up points because of it.

[HarveysWBs]

jimmy G always goes middle of the field when he has to have a play. He’s the anti-Rodgers.  His arm to the boundary is questionable, but he has no fear of the pick,

[adambr2]

Savage sucks so bad. 

 

And now, they're in FG range. 

[RobertR]

I was expecting something out of the Packers this half with all this time to prepare and facing a bad Raiders team. I don't know if anyone is held accountable.

Gotten worse every season. Rookie year was his best.

[Fear The Chorizo]

somebody gamble and jump a route on the sideline for god sakes

Why were you expecting something? It's been a staple of MLF to come out of bye weeks/long stretches off looking like he spent no time whatsoever preparing his team.

At least he wasn’t carted off but the towel on the head look didn’t look too encouraging.

[young guns]

Well nijman can block 

[adambr2]

Would be nice to have a timeout here to go 20 yards downfield and try a FG, but we just burned 3 of them pointlessly. 

[homer]

Yosh! 

[HarryDoyle]

THROW THE BALL!!!

[duewizard]

At least the FG got blocked

Or at least get yourself out of bounds after a few yards closer for a Hail Mary. It was like he was trying to get the first down

[homer]

well at least the Packers came out of the gate fast for once....
