    Jokes aside, I hope we get a third game. It would just be fun as a fan. There's a lot of bad blood with these teams now and it would just be good TV. I feel as good about where the Packers are and the matchup as I think I can, given that I think we are the weaker team, if that makes sense. I would rather play Detroit indoors a third time than go to Philadelphia for the Divisional.

    They were down a couple guys last night that will be back soon. But two points - one of the "backups" they were counting was Z. Smith, which is a joke, and really, they pressured so well that it shouldn't really matter if they play again. The regular guys couldn't have played a lot better than the front they used.

    They flat-out will not win the Super Bowl without a pass-rusher getting hot, a new blitz package or both. It becomes that much more important when you're now only playing good QBs.

    The funny thing is there is a lot of evidence this team is way better than last year. At 9-4 they have lost 4 games to 3 teams at a combined 32-5. 3/4 losses had the game still in question on the final possession or two. Last season they had a handful of very blah losses. They did get hot, but even going into Dallas the consensus was they had already had a good season no matter what. It's not apples to apples, I understand heightened expectations, but this is a good football team. They are a good candidate for a playoff dark horse. I think it's reasonable to consider the season overall a disappointment if they are eliminated in Rd 1 or Rd 2. But that's life. You don't always get the results.

    One could. One could also make the argument the Packers had a chance because of the one they failed to get. The game was most likely still won without them converting the last one and just kicking. The one to end the first half was a gutsy one that I love, that was probably the biggest one of the game, that I think most coaches would not attempt. The other one at the goal line was pretty obvious to try. Packers punted 3x. From the 35, 37 and 4th and 5 from the DET 47. The 47 is the one you'd consider chancing, but I thought it was the right move to play the field position game at that point of the game. It was very early. The distance is relevant too. Packers were in 4th and long. I don't recall exactly but the Lions were in a very short distance every time I believe.

    Pretty much where I'm at. The Packers are not beyond having a dogfight with Tampa/Seattle/Atlanta in the Wild Card. But they are close enough to Detroit that who knows, some goofy bounces and they can steal one. The Lions were missing guys, but so were the Packers. One of their "backup DL" was Za'Darius Smith. It's being played up a bit much. My money is on a 2nd round loss. I think they are playing as well as we can hope right now though to end the season. Love looks better. Need a few guys healthy and hoping they can scheme a way to get better pressure. I am optimistic. They have not gone with a heavy-run offensive scheme yet against Detroit, and I am hoping they kept some defensive looks in their back pocket.

    Idk. He is 4-0 against McVay including a thumping the year they won the SB and a playoff game. I don't think that's at all the be-all, end-all, but I thought that was the weakest champion in years and they got lucky they didn't have to play GB again. McDermott? He would fail the same "big game" test. Reid is the best in the business. Tomlin's history speaks for itself but even he transitioned from Ben with Russell Wilson. The Harbaughs have lost a LOT of big games and have 1 title between them. Great coaches, not saying they are worse. But I get the sense that most fans are a lot more generous with other team's coaches than their own. MLF got the Packers back into contention when they clearly looked cooked with Rodgers at the helm. They didn't get back to the SB which sucked, but it was still an achievement. Then seamlessly transitioned with a young QB that most people wanted run out of town. I agree that the pool of guys you listed are pretty subjective, but would still think MLF is top 5 based on the impressiveness of the good he has done.

    They came in with the youngest team in the league again this year and are sitting 9-4. This is a brutal crowd. They have the talent "to win." I just don't think they are quite literally one of the best 4 teams in the NFL. It's not like they are 3-10 here. Not gonna deny some of the 1st round whifs though. They should probably just stop drafting out of Georgia completely.
  9. OldSchoolSnapper
    I don't know. It doesn't sound like you do either. The fact that the 4th down play probably had like a 37% chance of failure or something is enough reason to punt when you are at the 30 and have a lead. The bad side of the failed conversion is a lot worse than a decent punt. And I am not arguing with "mathematical principles." This is actually of the things that drives me INSANE about the analytics movement. You can argue a call based on the situational variables and rationalize going against the percentages. Fact: NFL coaches have been punting and kicking stupid FGs for way too long. But also Fact: All sports take this crap too far and ignore the situational aspect of it at times, that was one of those times. As was the last one, but that one is much more justifiable than this one was. The Lions actually had a lot more on the line last night than GB did so I can get why he was going so hard.
  10. OldSchoolSnapper
    And what was the win probability once they didn't covert it and the Packers immediately scored? Did it go down by more than 2%? Or the probability if the Packers start their next possession at their own 31? That is the problem with this crap. You are not going to convince me that was the correct call. It's not "because I'm used to it." It's just plain stupid and not necessary.
  11. OldSchoolSnapper
    Without going down the list of names I would say he is a top 5 coach. They do not have the defensive personnel to be an elite team. Their star defensive player has turned into David Bhaktiari and they just do not pressure without a blitz. They transitioned QBs in a rebuild year and nearly made the NFCCG. Then lost their starting QB 3x and won all 3 games with a guy they picked up in August. I like his offense most of the time, if I had an issue with it, I think he gets away from the run too much. When we got the ball with 8 minutes left, I was really hoping we would try to grind them out and eat most of the time, instead we just went for big chunk plays. I get it, you have to score first, but I was hoping for some possession. You can count on him to waste a timeout at least once a half too. That seems to be the norm.
  12. OldSchoolSnapper
    That's a pretty drastic exaggeration. I am not sure the starters on the DL would have pressured Love any better than the group they had out there. They didn't really struggle to do that. And they didn't give the Packers 7 points. They had to make a stop and they did, once anyway. I think it's you and a couple others that need to take off the post-loss pouty glasses. The Packers played a very good team very tight on the road and came up a bit short. I think they will have a difficult time beating them if they have to, but they have enough of a chance that it's reasonable to see it happen. Detroit has clobbered a lot of teams this year and the Packers have shown twice that it at least shouldn't be a laugher when they play, and the first game was probably the worst the Packers have played all year. I hope there is a third game. I think it would be very fun to watch.
  13. OldSchoolSnapper
    Yeah I'm with you. I am assuming we aren't going to the Super Bowl so Buffalo is my adopted team. The love affair with the Loser Lions is, in my opinion, also leading to everyone really overstating how much better they are than everyone else. They're good, probably the best team on paper, but they are also definitely vulnerable..
  14. OldSchoolSnapper
    No it was not. I'm sorry but that is insane. "By a lot"? Come on, give me a break. You're up by 3 points in the second half, at your own 29, you punt the ball. He gave us a 30 yard field and we scored in 2 plays. If that's analytically correct, analytics are broken. You would rightfully lose your mind on MLF if he did something that stupid and it didn't work. Yes I'm sure your odds of converting 4th and 1 are greater than 50%, but you can't just say it's the correct call and ignore all the situational variables.
  15. OldSchoolSnapper
    Ok but kicking the FG was very, very likely to work as well and if it didn't, the game would go to overtime at worst. Going for that 4th not only jeopardized the attempt but also opened a small window for the Packers to actually win in regulation which was pretty much a 0%. They won the game - that doesn't mean it was the right call. Just like the stupid one from his own 30 wasn't right either. The other ones at least made logical sense. But he overdoes it and defies logic just to show off his nuts. And it is going to bite him. They're winning because they're good.
  16. OldSchoolSnapper
    MLF's opening script for the offense was atrocious. Other than that, it is what it is. A fun game to watch, competitive, great team and I expect to concede some points to them.
  17. OldSchoolSnapper
    I wasn't particularly confident in making the stop. But if you are asking me if I am more confident in a field goal to tie with, let's say 36 seconds, no timeouts, and needing 40 yards and a spike...I would take my chances on a lucky read and stuffing the 4th down play. ,
  18. OldSchoolSnapper
    Jaire is about as likely to play as Woodson.
  19. OldSchoolSnapper
    The stop. The stop is one play. Getting a field goal with no timeouts and like 35 seconds is still pretty hard to do.
  20. OldSchoolSnapper
    I cannot wait for this season to blow up in Dan Campbell's face when he does this stuff with Philly or Buffalo.
  21. OldSchoolSnapper
    We would totally jump offsides
  22. OldSchoolSnapper
    Imagine being 2nd and 17 and realistically you just have to run a couple times and kick a decently long FG but instead you decide to just throw a 17 yard pass because hey why not.
  23. OldSchoolSnapper
    Agree. That is the worst part of the team. It's not good.
  24. OldSchoolSnapper
    I don't think we'd get off the field in any scenario.
  25. OldSchoolSnapper
    Call me unconventional, I'd have stood still and see if they'd just score a TD once they got to the 50.
