    I am always negative once things go bad during a game but I was like here we go when Williams fumbled on first drive. It never once felt like a game we would win after that. Pathetic performance..

    So, they for some reason traded a 4th and 5th rounder to trade up one spot for the 5th QB in draft, let 2 apparently legit starting QB's walk in FA, and said thanks but no thanks to another legit starter and future HOFer. All because they are sure JJ is the guy. I hope it works out for them. I feel bad for their fans.

    JJ McCarthy gets his second shot and has to go into Detroit where they will have to score a lot. It's pretty close to must win for them and it will be tough. It's sink or swim now for JJ, I think I can see now why they anguished about a Rodgers decision for a few days.

    Rams trade for CB Roger McCreary and don't give up much, just 5th and 6th pick swaps. It feels like the Packers have to do something, Stephon Gilmore still out there but guessing he will only play if paid a few million and he may be near washed up anyway. Packers miss perfect chance to address their biggest roster concern before the trade deadline arrives - A to Z Sports

    I was never really worried the Steelers would come back once we went up 2 scores, first time I have had that confidence in the D since Wash game. Totally agree Watson's return is huge for this offense, never dreamed he would be back this early and look that good. Please stay healthy.
  6. OldHeidelberg
    Yes, we are fairly healthy but continue to look like at talented yet middling team. We throw deep on first down it doesn’t work the drive is dead. I am just starting to expect every special teams down to go bad.

    It does seem odd they wouldn't give Valentine more snaps with Hobbs getting constantly beat, probably a combination of Valentine getting beat too and Hobbs being the high paid guy. Melton has yet to play a snap on defense unless he did Sunday. I think I saw PFF said Brinson graded out poorly this week.

    I think the storyline is more Love vs Rodgers than a Rodgers revenge game. I am sure he will be plenty motivated to beat us but that was all 3 offseasons ago and it's not like we released him like the Jets did. Rodgers can get the ball out quick which seems to be the way to beat our defense but he also has always had a tendency to hold it too long and he isn't as quick to escape as he was when still a Packer. Packers are 3.5 point favorites, after failing to cover 4 games in a row you would think the betters would catch on but Vegas sure loves the Packers this season. Detroit on a bye so this is our chance to get a full half game lead in division with 10 to go. Hoping for Wyatt and Watson this week but that's probably not going to happen.

    I think this one was different, the announcers beat it to death but we trailed most of the game, never got out to double digit lead like the others and even trailed by double digits briefly. Yep, plenty not to like, but the big game by Parsons sort of revives my hopes that we finally have the star on defense to take over a game.

    This game felt like a loss most of the way through and when I saw the kicker run out on 4th and 2 I figured that was it. Scoring a TD on that drive seemed like our last chance to steal it so I completely agree it was right call, too bad MLF needed 2 shots at the decision to get it right. It seems like we get a win or 2 like this early every season, had to sweat out Jags and Texans last year. We are banged up and even the bad teams still trying this time of year, I think Zona was supposed to be good this year too and may just have bad luck to come in 2-4. If we won one we shouldn't have that's just karma since we gagged one in Cleveland.
  11. OldHeidelberg
    Nice gut check win. Whew I was sure Kraft was out real time on 4th down.
  12. OldHeidelberg
    That is the story of this game, what a disappointment this defense is turning out to be. Money and picks thrown at it for years they still suck.
  13. OldHeidelberg
    I sort of thought they would put it together and those were just road meltdowns. It’s a long season but we aren’t very good right now.
  14. OldHeidelberg
    I am starting to think we aren’t nearly as good as I thought we were after Washington game. Jump offsides on 3rd and 23? Not a very smart or well coached team.
  15. OldHeidelberg
    Another backup QB this week, it would be nice for the D to step and have a complete game after the last couple of second half outings. Jacobs will be game time decision. This feels like a key game, we really need a road win and have Steelers/Eagles 2 of next 3. Not quite must win but going to be tough to win division if you can't win these games.

    I know this has probably been covered but Love sliding when first down wins the game made me furious. Then they followed it up with a throw on 3rd and 2...how many weeks in a row are we going keep team in games with these mental/coaching mistakes late in games? Count me as one who was shocked we actually made the FG. It's like we just can't execute once we are in position to win. It was a much needed win and maybe it was just a hangover from the Brewer win but I was about as unexcited after a Packer win as I can remember, didn't even feel like listening to postgame radio.

    To be clear, I was expecting a sweep after we were up 2-0. I certainly wasn't expecting to lose today but of course realized it is possible.
  19. OldHeidelberg
    What a let down, I was sure of a sweep and yet here we are 20 minutes in and I am starting to worry I need to find something else to do. Pull it together guys.

    At the end of the season the tie will probably either amount to a win or a loss for playoff positioning. Just have to hope for the former. Really ugly couple of games after such a promising start, we were 9 point and 7 point favorites and went 0-1-1. Pretty good time for a bye as it turns out.
  21. OldHeidelberg
    Going back to the Chicago loss last year we have 2 losses and 1 tie in our past 5 regular season games where the coaching staff, especially clock management, carried a good load of the blame. Look around the NFL, most games comes down to the end and it's a big problem if your coaches are making obvious brainlock mistakes repeatedly. After the false start at end of half pretty much every coach in the league knows it's time to take itin for the half. They probably just ran the same play and it took 5 yards longer to develop and it bit us.

    Giants Nabors has torn acl. Ouch some teams can’t catch a break.
  23. OldHeidelberg
    It was a situation where just taking a knee results in a 90% win probability. If MLF isn’t barking in his ear to eat it if he is not sure maybe it isn’t all on Love but Jordan needs to understand the situation without coach reminding him. The Browns D is tough, we knew this going in, but we had this game and Love blew it with a huge unforced error. It’s not the first time and it is concerning since playoff games so often come down to the wire. Hopefully the Dallas defense will cure all. It’s a road AFC loss, no big deal, it just stings the way it went down.
  24. OldHeidelberg
    After a couple of hours to cool down the thing that still bugs me is the interception. I didn’t listen to post game but friend told me MLF was excusing it just like that pick 6 he threw right before half vs Detroit last season. Those mistakes can’t happen and that Love may not be the guy to get us there is what I am taking into this week.
  25. OldHeidelberg
    Snapping the ball at end of 3rd quarter and then trying to snap it on 3rd down on last drive when you had 2 timeouts that ended with false start. You run the clock down and call the timeout, football 101 and MLF failed miserably today.
