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

I was 100% sure we were getting roughing on that. 

[Fear The Chorizo]

I swear this defense plays coverage like they're missing 2 in the secondary with how often guys are just uncovered.

Not against the Raiders. RUN THE GDAM BALL

They have 18 carries to 13 passes so I would say that they are doing that. 

[adambr2]

Whatever magic Nixon showed last year is gone. Just make the smart decisions and hold onto the rock is all I ask.

On their 2 successful, drives, yes.  but it is more of a commentary toward the shat here....

[HarveysWBs]

There’s Watson, finally!

I mean that play to Watson was alright too...;)

Attaboy Watson!

yeah, but I think this team needs to keep trying to find big plays from special teams...

And that's the type of play action you need, none of that shotgun mesh crap where the defense just doesn't respect the run.

Now punch it in here

[adambr2]

Pretty discouraging to only come away with 3 after that big play. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

You should get the ball at the goal line on that kind of penalty. Really dumb that you don't. 

[HarveysWBs]

I get that you do it until they stop it, well, they stopped Dillon on 1st down.  I don’t get why you go back to it again on 2nd.  Really uninspiring.

[Fear The Chorizo]

shame that a horse collar cost them 6...

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Why run Dillon out of shotgun formation? He’s not the type of running back for those plays. Compare to the TD drive where he could get momentum into the line. Poor play calling in the red zone.

[adambr2]

I really thought Watson would be able to house that play with his speed once he broke into the open field.

Doesn’t look as explosive this year. Wonder if he doesn’t trust the hammy yet.

Yeah, I had the same thought.  Made me think he didn’t really open it up because he’s still a little worried about the hammy.  Which is fine, because were better with 80-90% Watson than 0 Watson.

[adambr2]

Run defense not exactly Jaire's forte.

Watson was pretty close to doing so. He basically had to start his sprint from a standstill. Nearly beat the Raiders safety who had a decent angle and a running start. Don’t know if the turf track might be just a little slow also. 

[homer]

Gary hasnt done much of anything tonight

[Fear The Chorizo]

Packers down all kinds of defenders in the middle now...thinning out their weakest link even more.

Jimmy G loves to give defenses chances to pick the ball off

[HarveysWBs]

I wouldn’t advise covering Adams with Preston Smith.  Maybe call a timeout?

[Fear The Chorizo]

lol at Preston Smith covering Adams

[adambr2]

Such vintage Packers D to allow a big drive after we finally turn momentum. 

[HarryDoyle]

Yes, let's continue to put a LB on Davante. It's a bold strategy, let's see if it pays off for them.
