THIS!!!!!! Every qb should have at least 3 plays on every play... There is no reason for Bobby not to adjust to what was going on... Every 3rd down.. actually every long down... They brought the entire defense for the entire game... Yes our OL is not the best... but not many OL can block 9 for a long route to develop... T_Man
The D played admirably despite who was playing and who they were playing against... the O on the other hand was frustrating. You cannot have one of the better QBs in the game, with good skill players around, and be that pathetic. Coaches usually find a way around any weakness, this coaching staff isn't. If Slowik is going to be here, we need to look at some experienced consultant that can provide guidance
Tank catches that easy TD we win DeMeco throws the flag on the OBVIOUS lateral we win DeMeco forces GB to use up ALL their timeouts instead of only 2 we win Minny is a MUCH better team than GB it isnt even debatable. Sucks to play down to the opponent and lose to a wishy washy team like the Pack. If we dont do SOMETHING about the OL this week then doubt will start to creep in regarding DeMeco as a leader.
Man......on an overreaction Monday I am still pissed by the Pack loss, I assumed we would lose but not like this. The D played well enough to win even with all the starters hurt, this O Line has shown to be BAD all season and they went from bad to worse VS a very good Packer team. CJ was frustrated and I don't blame him, he had no time all day and his receivers did him no favors in creating separation and the Tank drop in the end zone was the epidemy of our day. I love our coaches but to not challenge the lateral was a huge mistake, even if you lose the challenge you get to regroup and as it stood the Pack threw a TD on the next play. The FG at the end seemed like we were conceding we could not score a TD The O Line SUCKS but not much we can do at this point, it is what it is, maybe a tweak or two but not much we can do, we can't bench the entire group. One last rant, stop calling plays to run in the bunch formation, spread it out DAM it. I dont want to get on Slowik but he needs to show us he can get something out of this O Line and be creative............................Mixon was awesome in spite of the O Line, the dude was a magician hopping and skipping to find a crease and hell Pierce is showing he can contribute as RB2 As it stands right this minute (it is an overreaction Monday), I don't see us doing anything "special", CJ deserves better.................I was really pissed when CJ was on the Pack sideline after getting hit that he was defending himself and no help from his O Line. The O Line seems more concerned about the bag and not the performance....................in a perfect world one of them would be cut today to set a tone but that's not reality and it is what it is, which is why I am not going to say we are a "contender" anymore until we can actually play like one.
Maybe they can hire Belichick as that consultant, if he can spare time from playing with his 24 year old gf.
I wonder would Kubiak come out of retirement? He has a great relationship with Meco and if he made Matt a pro bowl qb imagine what he could do with CJ.
Playing for the FG and then immediately going into zone coverage with a 4 man rush was idiotic. They surrendered to easy 1st downs to the pack before they actually tried to stop them. Demeco lost this game and he needs to quit being scared at the end of the game. Not throwing the challenge flag, right away was stupid. There was absolutely not a single viable reason not to. They need to quit getting so conservative late in the game.
What a maddening loss. Even with all the offensive futility the game was still there to be won with smart, late game management. That was the most frustrating part because as a fan, I thought the decades of bonehead late game s*** were behind us. Other than that, too many FGs, you can't win on the road like that. Tank's drops are becoming a big problem. I can think of two dropped TD's this season. With Nico out you CANNOT drop TD's man. Slowik seems to be poor at making in-game adjustments. The O-Line was trash for sure, but at least some part of that is schematic. You have too great of a QB with weapons to not be able to coordinate your way and neutralize a pass rush like that, one way or another. It really seemed like a "I don't know what to do" situation.
In an alternate world, they go all out trying to get the final TD, Stroud throws a pass that is tipped and intercepted, game over... then everyone is complaining that they didn't run the clock and take the lead. Given how bad the o line and Stroud looked all game, they made the right choice, it just didn't work out. The defense and kicker were more reliable that game.... the defense just failed.
How the Texans handled the end of that game yesterday still pisses me off. How they didn’t realize they needed to play for either the TD or at the very least one more 1st down is baffling. To automatically settle for the FG and then not even fully commit was atrocious. Deciding to on purpose give the ball back to the opponent only up 1 with over 1 min left and a timeout was asking for exactly what they got. A stupid ****ing loss.
I agree, but if that was the plan then why the hell would you throw on 3rd and 15? The drive is already toast by that point, at that point you manage the clock the best you can to help out your defense after the FG.
Super valid point, they should have run it one more time and forced the Packers to use their final time out.
They're doing cut ups of the all 22 and the 0 line is much scarier than originally thought. proceed with caution.
