I honestly think Aaron Jones is the back we have been waiting for. Will MM let him loose and actually perform? That’s the question. I’d take Earl Thomas and Eric Reid over him in a heartbeat.
The #Packers are placing veteran CB Davon House on Injured Reserve, source said. That explains GB working out a bunch of FA CBs.
Rodgers and MM might have come to that point in a standstill. (Postgame interview everybody) Rodgers doesn’t like him and I don’t think MM likes him at this point. Brady & Bill at this point with their relationship. Bill is going to work with Brady imo (if it came to that) I don’t think the same with Mike. The NFL has evolved, our offense has not. (And Rodgers wasn’t good today, that doesn’t change anything I just said)
Yeah Rodgers missed lots of open throws today. I'm guessing his bum knee is messing with his mechanics some but still not sharp.
I thought he looked much better running/moving in the pocket than he has at any point since the injury
He looked better running, his accuracy was meh for Rodgers and i think that had a lot to do with not being able to practice. Rodgers isn’t dumb, he sees KC, LA, San Fran (with mostly shit qb) and it drives him bonkers he has the offensive style he has. This offense talent is set up for the modern game. A #1 wr that is a great after the catch runner, a big red-zone tight end, Aaron fucking Jones, etc. Rodgers isn’t Rodgers from 2011. He is still amazing but it’s not the same qb. And instead of evolving with the times we run this archaic offense. We rarely run hurry up, we rarely bring in our best back, etc. You want to know why it takes our wr’s 3 years to get up to speed in this offense? Its fucking impossible to not take that long. And why the fuck haven’t we seen Jones and TM on the field at the same time. You have two guys that can’t be covered by linebackers and both can run out of the backfield so you choose to never play them on the field at the same time. That’s the entire point. You miss 100% shots you don’t take and we laugh at this because we have Larry Bird and are stuck dribbling the ball for 11 seconds behind half court (9 if you like the nba)
Agreed that our offense needs to evolve quickly. Disagree that Rodgers isn't the same QB as 2011. Our offensive design was actually pretty good back then. Then teams started running tons of Cover 2 and we struggled a little bit as we couldn't run well until Lacy was drafted.
2011 Rodgers was able to run much more and it opened up passing windows. He is still great but if you could pick between the two versions of Rodgers it isn't really close.
How many quarters this season has Rodgers been the best qb on the field? 6 at best? 2nd half against the Bears and against the Bills is all I got
I follow the Packers and Huskers and between penalties and being the dumbest team on the field I’m fucking undefeated every single year. Every single fucking year. Let’s not even get into special teams
Why the fuck is Williams in on 3rd down when he doesn’t even block? He is on passing routes. On passing routes. It’s the dumbest thing in the world how much they hate Aaron Jones
I'm done with McCarthy offense is stuck in 2011, isn't aggressive on 4th downs, sticks with trash coordinators for far too long kick Mike to the curb and hire somebody with a decent offensive mind, you know like somebody who's watched football in the past 3 years
The NFL is set up for offenses and we run these long developing iso routes. We have a legit running back. Not even a good one, Jones is legit. He gets 25 snaps a game and the starter gets 50% and averages a shade over 3 yards a carry. Rodgers misses throws lately, guess when that last happened? Early, 2 years ago. When we only ran long, iso routes, with young wrs. Guess what we are doing again? It’s maddening.
I don't think it's hyperbole to say that the next coaching hire is the most important decision this franchise will have made in 10 years *assuming we even make a change which who knows
Why the fuck isn’t Montgomery a WR again? That’s like completely a waste of time for him to get 3 one yard carries a game when 3 guys literally don’t know the routes.
