    Yeah if you want to pin it on one play it was the TD right before half. Something totally preventable had they just been in a reasonable defense. Sure TB might have checked down and gotten them a field goal but the odds of that with zero timeouts were slim. Yeah, there's no question that was the play of the game. They had two areas of the field that they needed to cover. The end zone (primary) and the sidelines (secondary). I understand you don't want to give them a chance for the FG but you literally have everything from boundary to boundary to push the play to. Any completion in the field of play ends the half. I could have at least lived with Cover 2, split the field in half deep and if someone gets beat you're going to have help over the top. But really you should probably be in Cover 3 and make sure anything deep is not going to have any opportunity for a one on one. Cover 1 is inexplicable. Your safety is lined up in literally the one part of the field that doesn't need to be covered. Anything deep and your safety is not going to be in position to make a play unless they read it perfectly. I wouldn't have trusted the prime of Ronnie Lott in Cover 1 for that play much less Will Redmond. Mike Pettine called a play that is designed to protect the middle of the field on literally the one play of the game that the middle of the field did not need to be covered at all.

    I would have went for 4th and 8 and definitely disagreed with it. But there were so many things that still needed to cut our way if we made the other decision. - Convert 4th and 8 - Convert the 2 - Keep Brady from getting back in FG range - Win in OT The real problem was the numerous things we did to put ourselves in a position to be down by 8 right there.

    Hard to even get excited about that. It's almost February and I literally can't think of anyone we've added off the top of my head.

    I honestly thought they should have just went onsides. That would at least have assured they still got the 2 minute warning and they still needed to stop them 3 and out regardless. They got a break on the kickoff. Dumb special teams play by Tampa.

    And on King, I have no interest in King being back in 2021. Not for a 8M a year on a multi year deal, and not for a 1 year 3M prove it deal. No interest. King sucks. He has sporadic flashes of good play and even good games that hide this fact, but overall, he sucks. What Pettine sees in King over Jackson I am really not sure but considering how bad Pettine is at most of his job it would not surprise me that he's a lousy talent evaluator as well.

    We're going to be down one of the best Centers and one of the best Running Backs in football just to get under the cap next year. We'll be down Preston Smith, too. Remember, this is just to get under the cap so forget about being active in free agency. It's tough to squint hard enough to see how we are going to have a better roster next year. The NFC will likely be a tougher conference. It was a big down year for the NFC. I expect the 49ers to be relevant again recovering from some big injuries. We had the conference championship at home. We had all the stars align perfectly to win a championship this year and couldn't get it done. We won't have an easy road to get back.

    GoFundMe

    adambr2 posted a topic in Off-Topic Forum

    This is probably a sensitive topic, so I'll try to tread as carefully as possible. I'll start off by saying I think GoFundMe is a wonderful tool for helping the public rally around a worthy cause when an unpreventable life emergency happens. I've donated to plenty of GoFundMes, mostly for issues like childhood cancer fundraising. Now with that said, I get pretty disgusted with some of the requests I now see. Pay for my college? I need to raise $5K so I can travel abroad? Are you serious? The two worst offenders (and often one in the same) are the ones who get their 15 minutes of fame and immediately try to turn that into cash, and the ones that hit their goal for some frivolous item and then when they HIT their goals, they realize, "wow, hey, I didn't realize how much I could get out of this", and subsequently RAISE their goal, sometimes multiple times.

    Are there other plays that still could have gone their way to still pull the game out? Uh yeah, I never said otherwise. But it was absolutely an enormous play that really opened up the game for Tampa at the time and put us in a hole we never got out of. Tony Dungy called it the worst defensive playcall he's ever seen. Ed Reed was flabbergasted. Our own HC was blunt in his assessment of the call. I cannot believe anyone is downplaying that call.
  9. adambr2
    Yes it was a bad call (& its time for a DC change), but it wasn't as bad as Gregg Williams going cover ZERO/ all out blitz on the final 2 plays of the game so that the LV Raiders could come back against the NY Jets this season. The Jets season was far in the toilet by this point. Whereas our DCs decision cost us a chance at a Super Bowl.

    https://ftw.usatoday.com/2021/01/the-packers-need-to-move-on-from-defensive-coordinator-mike-pettine Pettine had a robber in the middle of the field...seriously, he covered the middle of the field. A 30 yard completion down the middle of the field would have been the perfect play for us. Did he think Tampa had a timeout left? Please help me understand...I cannot totally discount the possibility that he had money on this game against us, it was that bad of a call. At the LEAST they needed to split the field with 2 deep safeties which would have been infinitely better than Cover 1. The safety on that side of the field is likely going to get over to get in front of Miller in time. But really you have no reason to not play at least 3 deep or even quarters. Inexplicably they went with Cover 1 which literally put a safety in the only part of the field that they did not actually need to cover.

    I actually don't blame Bostick as much as I do Peppers for having the DB lay down after the pick with at least 20 yards ahead of him. It's all the same. Bostick. Peppers having Burnett go down. Haha blowing the 2 pointer. Tying Arizona on a miracle only to have the defense give it back on one play in OT. Letting Colin K run for 200 yards. Inexplicable coaching decisions and missed opportunities costing us the one NFC Championship we finally had at home. Going 15-1 and getting curbstomped at home by a 9-7 Wild Card team. We're the Packers, we choke in the playoffs. That's been our identity ever since SB 45. We can beat Dallas, that's all we have going for us.

    I also think Kevin King probably cost himself millions of dollars today. Normally I would expect an NFL GM to withhold judgment off of one terrible game, but if I'm an NFL GM watching him perform this badly on this big of stage, there's no way in hell I'm paying up for this guy.

    I hope the Chiefs steamroll the Bucs, but I have no interest in watching the Super Bowl.
  14. adambr2
    I don't want to overanalyze it, but it feels like the younger generation of coaches (McVay, Lafleur, Stefanski) tend to be great regular season preparation coaches, and tend to crap their pants and get outcoached by veteran coaches like Reid, Arians, and Belichick when the stakes get highest.
  15. adambr2
    Well, any idiot with a controller playing "Madden" knows that you don't play Cover 1 with 8 seconds left in the half and your opponent is at the 40 with no timeouts, so we can start there and work our way up. Gregg Williams comes to mind. I don't think they'll look too heavily at internal candidates. Hopefully a handpicked guy will be a better fit for MLF, but we'll see. Shawn Mennanga was a handpicked guy, and he's been a disaster.
  16. adambr2
    LaFleur confirmed that Pettine called man coverage on the touchdown at the end of the first half that pushed the Buccaneers’ lead to 21-10. The 39-yard score from Tom Brady to Scott Miller beat Kevin King up the left sideline, and the Packers were in a single-high safety look with man coverage underneath. LaFleur was extremely unhappy about the call, saying “Yeah, that was man coverage; definitely not the right call for the situation. You can’t do stuff like that against a good football team like that and expect to win.” I have to say it again for emphasis -- Mike Pettine had a timeout to figure out what playcall to go with and with only needing to cover the sidelines and endzone he called this albatross of a play.

    Even Ted Thompson wasn't willing to trade up to get Rodgers. He fell into his lap. I don't think he went into 2005 targeting Rodgers. Sorry, but Rodgers was in the conversation for the first overall pick. He took an unprecedented fall and the value was just too much to pass up. Comparing it trading up 4 spots to #26 to get a guy who was widely seen as a late 1st or 2nd round project is just not even close to being the same thing. The equivalency would have been Justin Herbert falling all the way to us at #30 and taking him there. I think that would have been a lot different conversation. Rodgers also hasn't been threatening to retire every offseason like Favre did. Favre's future was a lot more uncertain. All indications from Rodgers have been that he'd be happy to play to 43 if we were actually competing in Super Bowls.

    My point was that Boyle is the backup QB of this team while Love is a healthy scratch, but I'm sure you know that's what I was saying. And yet this FO will watch their frustrated first ballot HOF quarterback not play in the Super Bowl for the 10th consecutive time while the FO that did everything in their power to surround their first ballot HOF quarterback with the best possible players and coaches will be playing for a Lombardi in 2 weeks in their first season with him.
  19. adambr2
    You seem to have missed the point. The goal of the draft is to make the team better, not just to 'try'. Queen would literally have made them worse. You just can't say 'take anybody', because the NFL doesn't work that way. You have to take the right player. They took a player who they do not currently even trust enough to play in a game over Tim Boyle, and they gave up both a 1st and 3rd round pick to do so. I'm not sure that was the right player either.
  20. adambr2
    It's hard to buy into any "the future is bright" shtick at this point for the franchise. They had a good enough team to get it done this year. They didn't get it done. No guarantee of being back in a conference championship next year, no guarantee of getting HFA at Lambeau, no guarantee of a weak wide open NFC. It's another massive opportunity blown.
  21. adambr2
    They could have traded up for Jefferson when he started falling, they did it with Jaire. There were numerous guys who could have positively impacted this year's team in the first couple rounds. Chase Claypool. Tee Higgins. Antoine Winfield. Heck, if they wanted to go QB they could have kept their 3rd rounder and taken Jalen Hurts.
  22. adambr2
    We're really blaming Rodgers for that 2? It was St. Brown, not Lazard, and it could not have hit him in a better spot. It was a tight window and if it's 90 instead of 101 as you describe it he never has a chance because it gets tipped more flush and never gets to him. ESB needs to catch that. Never did I blame Rodgers. It's a critique of Rodgers that I get every time I watch Brees and Brady play...they often manage to put the perfect air underneath the ball...sometimes rifled, sometimes lofted. Rodgers is one of the greatest of all time, but it's one area where I rate others better than him. I was stating that it should have been caught Just seems like an odd play to bring up when mentioning the touch throws of Brees and Brady. There was no opportunity there for a touch throw.
  23. adambr2
    Pettine is a dead man walking. You don't throw your DC under the bus that egregiously unless you're certain he isn't going to be your DC next year. MLF had his mind made up at halftime. Maybe a win could have bought him a mulligan, but he's gone.
  24. adambr2
    I agree that emotions are probably a part of it. With that said, I think it's highly likely that next season is his last in Green Bay. If they win it all, I think he'll retire. If they don't, I think he'll have had enough and look to finish up his career elsewhere. Imagine Rodgers with the Saints. Or the Colts. We've had 10 years to get him enough help to win another championship and we haven't even been able to get back to the game. The organization has failed him. Tampa Bay did everything they could to put enough talent around Brady to win today despite him not having his best game and that's part of the reason they're playing in Super Bowl 55 and we are not. It took them one single try with a HOF QB to get to the game that we've had 10 consecutive failures at getting him to.
  25. adambr2
    Rodgers sounded like a guy who genuinely isn't sure if he'll be back next year. I think kicking that field goal might have damaged his relationship with Rodgers irreparably. MLF will never be able to get the decision to trust Pettine over Rodgers back.
