What must happen against GB


lightsout

Recommended Posts

I know the main point of conversation has been JR, but there is a football game being played today and anything short of a win would be disappointing. What do we need?


Offensive explosion

This Packers defense is not very good, but they're not totally awful either. Aaron Rodgers may or may not have rust, so we have to assume he'll be closer to 100% than we'd like to hope. GB brings a middling run defense and a fairly porous secondary. They give up around 23 points per game. If we can hang 28-32 then that should do it even if Rodgers balls out. The passing game has to show up, because we're not going to be getting 200 yards on the ground. The real kicker? The GB defense let's their opposing offense convert on 3rd down 44.4% of the time. This bodes well as we've been pretty good on third.

Special teams needs to stay special

The field position game can swing this for either team. Again, with Rodgers being a question  mark in terms of his ability coming off such a long layoff we need to gain every advantage. If they're starting on our side of their 35 yard line too many times, we're going to find ourselves in a position where we're consistently struggling on long fields or we're in a shootout with the king of shootouts.

Rivera needs to get out of the way

Let Cam take this game over once you cross the GB 49. If it's 3rd and 3 or shorter, you take a shot and trust that Cam and the offense picks up the yards on 4th. This doesn't apply if we're up by 20+ at any point, but we definitely need to start getting the "screw you" confidence going on this last stretch. No dumb use of timeouts. Tell Shula to have plays in quick. The staff cannot have errors that result in penalties or putting the team in less than ideal positions.

Cam needs to reclaim BoA

Cam has not been great at home this season. If this is to change, it starts today. If not, we may be in trouble because Cam has been our main weapon all season. We go as Cam goes. If #1 is dominant from the first whistle to the last, we're in good shape no matter the opponent.


Let's do this. Keep Pounding!

Lol.. good luck with that happening. Every time this team gets up 10-14 points it goes into full puckered butthole mode

Oh up 10-14 we go in to full shut down scrap the creative plays we got this win in the bag mode. Dumbest thing ever

How about just win. 

Probably need 2 turnovers, hold them to 2 field goals on 2 drives and a couple of stops for us at least and special teams to show up, would be great to see Clay redeem himself.

offensively if we stay loose and less predictable as we’ve seen possible instead of getting tight then we have a chance.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
