    About the best optimism I can offer is that this kind of has the feel of this time last year where we just clearly aren't in sync, aren't playing the football that we're capable of, just really a lot of young team struggles, only this year we are 6-3 instead of 3-6 or whatever we were at this time last year. So there's still hope that by the end of the season, much like last year, things will be clicking on all cylinders again. We were clearly a 2nd half of season team last year, hopefully the same is true. My hope was that this season we wouldn't see as many of those first half struggles as we worked through most of the initial growing pains last year. Unfortunately, progress is not always linear.

    You really need to change your team identity if you're scared of playing home games in January. That's pretty bad for any organization, but especially one like Green Bay that used to pride itself on the immense homefield advantage. I assume paying Josh Jacobs was a part of trying to change that identity. I'd also argue that most of the current Packer offense has had either little or no experience playing in a cold weather game at home to know what their identity is in those conditions.

    Flacco has Sermon wide open for a 1st in the flat on third and 2. Instead he throws into double coverage downfield, hangs Pittman out to dry, gets him hurt, and then they don't convert on 4th and 2.

    Of course Joe Flacco, who looks like the comeback player of the last 2 years, decides to look like a total pumpkin again when he goes to Minnesota.

    I also want to add that if you're going to receive to start the game, you damn well better make it worth it. All it takes is coming up short in the redzone, then giving up a TD and you're behind the 8 ball. I'd far prefer to try to play good 2 minute offense near the end of the half and get a 2 for 1 possession to end halftime/start the 3rd. Keep in mind 2 other ways in which this strategy proved costly today: 1) Detroit has far and away the best 3rd quarter offense in the NFL. 2) If we had a possession coming up after halftime, there's likely less desperation down 7, and quite possibly, the pick 6 never happens.

    This is mostly correct, but I'm not reading too much into the yardage totals today. A lot of game script and flow involved in that, and obviously Detroit could have capped off their final drive with another score. I have no doubt they could go for 400+ on us with the appropriate situation and conditions. I'm not going to say we were dominated today, but just far too many little things that you can't do to have a chance against a football team like this. Jordan's pick 6 was a turning point but this is a Matt LaFleur loss. You have to have your team disciplined and mentally prepared going into a game like this and he failed to do so.

    Quay Walker is an absolute liability on defense. They've got to take a long hard look at him during the bye week, do the right thing and send him to the bench coming out of the bye.

    Winning the division looks highly unlikely after today. I think we'd have to sweep the rest of our division games.

    We'll probably lose this game 24-21 on a last second FG and the Packer faithful on Facebook will be saying "Garshh!! If it weren't for 3 missed field goals this year we'd be undefeated!"
  11. adambr2
    The Packers still are in position to do some things this year, but much like they did last year left, they need to get a lot better and a lot healthier before the end of the season. Being down 4 scores and 3 scores at home in your only divisional games is not a good look.
  12. adambr2
    I don't want to hear any excuses about the conditions for all the drops today. The Lions' pass catchers caught the ball just fine all day.
  13. adambr2
    That's your creativity coming out of a timeout that you burned when you really couldn't afford to burn one with the clock stopped? I'm embarrassed for you, Matt.
  14. adambr2
    Wicks is a player that you essentially need to go up and place the ball in his hands to avoid him dropping it.
  15. adambr2
    Why did Watson stop??
  16. adambr2
    Operating way, way too slow on offense for a team down 18 points in the 4th quarter.
  17. adambr2
    By that logic, I'd guess 90% of NFL games could be considered competitive around halftime. Yes, the Lions did one very idiotic thing (well, 2 by the same guy) this game. We've done about 10. It is part of the difference between the two teams. Yes, we coulda shoulda woulda drove down and maybe gotten a field goal and not thrown the pick. We didn't. The Lions made a play, and we didn't. Even if it hadn't happened, it'd still be 17-6 right now with the Lions having the ball right now. I don't know why you are dying on this hill that we're on their level and have competed with them today when that clearly isn't the case. It doesn't mean that we can't get there. But right now, as of today? It's not close.
  18. adambr2
    Oh yes, let's punt on 4th and 3 down 21. That'll give us life.
  19. adambr2
    Sweet grab, Wicks.
  20. adambr2
    I mean, the fact that the Lions lost one of their best defenders for the game and then started absolutely smacking us in the mouth is pretty damning evidence of how much better they are than us. At least right now. I'm not happy about it. But it's clear that we have a long ways to go.
  21. adambr2
    Aside from robbing valuable game reps from a more deserving LB, is there anything that Quay Walker does well?
  22. adambr2
    You can't just gauge two teams by total yardage and turnovers and use that as a measuring stick. The undisciplined things that we've done today are part of our team identity. That's part of the equation. The horrible penalties, the flipping of field position, bad plays on 3rd and 4th down, the awful-timed mistakes. It's all part of our identity, and aside from Branch, the Lions have played disciplined, smart football. It's what separates good teams from great teams. Just because the game score was 10-3 before halftime with similar yardage totals doesn't mean that there isn't a wide gap between the teams.
  23. adambr2
    Curious, is any offensive player on the Packers aware of when it's important to get out of bounds/stay in bounds? Is it something that they actually have conversations about in meetings?
  24. adambr2
    Looks like we one more piece of stupid to get out of our system before halftime with Brooks not getting out of bounds, otherwise that's 3 points.
  25. adambr2
    Anyone tell Brooks that we only have 1 timeout and he has to get out of bounds? Nah?
