    Why even flip a coin? Why not just let the home team decide? 53% is still an advantage. The Packers have lost 7 coin tosses in a row and it is costing them possessions (but so are the turnovers, obviously). 53% is basically within a margin of error. You're not going to be able to make it exactly 50/50. (I was referring to the OT coin toss on that stat, not all coin tosses) The coin toss isn't costing the Packers anything. They won the OT coin toss the other day, possessed the ball in OT and still lost. Losing the opening coin toss means nothing. It's just flipped in half 2. Each team still gets the exact same amount of possession opportunities whether they win or lose the coin toss. Losing the coin toss is a red herring, it simply isn't among the Packers' issues right now or in any way comparable to turning the ball over. Well, you are never going to convince me that winning the OT coin toss isn't an advantage. I was really making the point that the NFL just doubles down rather than fixing obvious issue like 4 team divisions. But a lot NFL fans probably like these quirks and feel like GB-Bears twice a year is worth getting a lousy playoff team that gets quickly bounced every year. I think their argument for giving division winners home games is they want to get the 1st round home games spread around so the same teams don't get all the extra revenue every year.

    McCarthy just fake punted on his own 24 yard line on 4th and 10. -1 yard gain EDIT: 23 yard touchdown run, Dallas now down 27-16 in the 4th. What on earth is McCarthy thinking today. Maybe he wants to get fired so he can retire after his one last big contract? I am of the opinion he was just coasting his last few years in GB so no surprise the team that let him cash in on his SB ring one last time got burned. Glad it was Dallas.

    The NBA effectively eliminated divisions years ago. I think 2 eight team divisions per conference is the way to go, just alternate the home and away division schedule every year like college does. For the Packers I think this would likely mean a merger with the NFL west, would prefer the East of course but there are a lot of old historic NFL teams in the west and we actually have rivalries with Rams/Niners/Cardinals that go back beyond most of our memories. Makes too much sense though and the NFL is loathe to admit how they are doing it now isn't perfect, they still make a coin toss in OT a major play.

    A couple of those offsides were ZSmith and they were 2 plays apart, on the 2 point conversion you could tell he was being sort of lazy about it and just not paying attention to where he was.

    Man I could sure use some Badger buckets after this weekend. Looking forward to this season, hopefully they can stay Covid free.

    Tough way to lose but you don't win very often when you fumble it way 3 times. Clocking it from the 15 was a mistake but those things happen when you have no timeouts and pressure is on. We just don't have a Super Bowl defense, the offense sucked in the second half but they didn't get enough chances.
  7. OldHeidelberg
    I think we get shutout in 2nd half
  8. OldHeidelberg
    Yep, we are going to get rolled if we don't nip this in the bud right now. I am worried about a quick turnover here.
  9. OldHeidelberg
    I was feeling like we wouldn't convert that 3rd and 1 and after just giving up the TD did not want the ball going back to the Colts. Letting the clock run was right call. Not only was that pass interference but the ball was so right there MVS probably should have caught it one handed. Didn't expect a TD there at all, nice call going deep.
  10. OldHeidelberg
    They lined up leaving the middle open for Rivers to step into, just weird the calls we make on 3rd down. At least we rushed 4...
  11. OldHeidelberg
    Amazing what a couple of turnovers can do, seems like we probably doubled our season total.

    In the most literal sense, it could have been better. I'm definitely concerned with the optics of how our organization is run lately. It's a poor, amateurish look. I remarked the other day about how the financials of the NBA are too complicated for me to ever understand. While that remains true, I didn't assume they were too complicated for our own professionals to understand. I would like to think if someone paid me I could figure it out. How hard can it be?

    It is fair to say that I want the Packers to draft all the Badgers but Watt was climbing fast going into the draft and sort of fell into our lap and we passed. My memory of it was that he was BPA. King is active.
  14. OldHeidelberg
    Just realized King was added to injury report with yet ANOTHER injury. Do not resign this guy and yeah I am still pissed about TJ Watt. Scott now in Indy and expected to play.
  15. OldHeidelberg
    oof. Ugly. Oh well hard to get too upset in a maybe 6 game season. Maybe good for Mertz to get knocked down a peg

    20/32 on FG 30+ the last 3 years. 63% chance of it being a 1 score game. There’s zero reason Wisconsin can’t kick a 39 yard FG. That was a terrible decision. I get both your points, Badgers don't seem to ever go for longish field goals with their mediocre kickers yet in a game like today 3 points seemed like a pretty big deal.
  17. OldHeidelberg
    At least punting from the 35 on 4th and 3 earlier in the game paid off. Wait, did it?
  18. OldHeidelberg
    You expected different playing Northwestern? Par for the course but yeah still frustrating..
  19. OldHeidelberg
    I don't know, would we make the playoffs without the win over OSU in the BTC? I sort of want the badgers to get over that OSU hump rather than back in during a weird season. I still haven't got my head around Indiana being good anyway so expect they are going to get thumped today. But yeah rooting for them.
  20. OldHeidelberg
    Looks like the Packers opened at -2.5 but it has now swung to Indy -1.5. Pretty big move, not sure what the betters are looking at now that Adams looks to be a go. King and Alexander good to go as well, as healthy as we have been in a while.
  21. OldHeidelberg
    I am glad they got Bak done, Jones is a tough call just like King, both guys have been injury plagued. They got the win and we can relax so I won't bash on them anymore today, just happy to be 7-2.
  22. OldHeidelberg
    We deserve to lose this game no doubt, play action is likely an easy 1st down and Jax has been stuffing the run all day
  23. OldHeidelberg
    dammit I knew they would waste a timeout there
  24. OldHeidelberg
    Hell I am calling it right now, MVS is a true #1 WR!
  25. OldHeidelberg
    Well if we lose it's going to be 3 of 5, 2 of which we were heavily favored at home and 1 of the wins was a Covid joke. Not a great trend. But the Jags suck, maybe we pull it out and things won't seem so bleak.
