You're kind of proving another point I made, in that this run of theirs has been all Rodgers. I'd also like to point out that they haven't exactly faced a murderer's row of offenses in that stretch either. When you're the 4th ranked scoring offense in the league, it's not exactly hard to beat...

I agree with everything you said except this. The management structure has changed significantly since Garrett became the head coach, which he's been only since 2011. Jerry still insists on being GM, but ultimately he shares decision making power with Stephen, Garrett, and Will McClay. The last...

Recent history doesn't mean much. Packers have been in what? 8 playoffs in a row? That's pretty impressive. Looks like they're really good at getting out of Wild Card weekend too. 4-2 in those games. 2-3 in the Division round though. With all that experience you'd think they'd be better prepared...

I like the "if they can stay healthy" part. Isn't that always the key? Even if they think they're 2-3 guys away, and they can get those guys, what about the depth? Seems to me that the answer to the "if they can stay healthy" part isn't getting 2-3 guys but getting 5-6 guys who fit the system...

Cassel's subsequent lack of success injects a certain amount of skepticism on players coming out of New England because of that. But it also illustrates that you can succeed with even slightly above average play at QB if the skill players (in their case, Welker and Moss) are good as well. I...

They missed the playoffs at 11-5. Outside of the AFC West, the conference was pretty strong that year, 6 teams with 11 or more wins. Miami caught them flatfooted with the Wildcat stuff, but overall they were still a good team.

It's like you're not even paying attention to the conversations around here. Hey, Rodgers is a pretty good QB right? How come he doesn't have more rings? Oh, that's right, his coach probably sucks and the rest of the team is only just good enough for them to win the division versus three teams...

I've done a lot of translating from Java to Kotlin over the past year. Even though they both compile down into Java bytecode, there's not always a 1:1. Syntax knowledge is very important and sometimes the translation isn't obvious.

Seattle was at home though, and even at 7-9 they were dangerous there. Then there was the ultimate Beast Mode run that felt like Lynch was channeling Tecmo Bo. Houston is on the road and might be one of the more uninspiring 9-7 teams in recent years to win a division. They ran over a team...

Aren't they built as a 4-3 defense though? Wade's been a 3-4 guy his whole career, that's why Jerry brought him in after Parcells left. Unless they're committed to a switch of that type, which can take 3-4 years depending on how much draft capital they spend, I think it's more likely Wade goes...

Agreed. Even by 70s standards he was pedestrian. He just benefited from one of the greatest defensive units in history and some great offensive skill players.

He's always been this way though. Not sure how much worse it could get honestly.

All those other guys needed to step up though. Pack aren't exactly world beaters in coverage. One guy can't be your offense, but that's what it's turned into. With Manning on the back end of his career, there ain't much time left to do anything. As it stands, they're very much at risk of wasting...

WAT?! vs Tampa - 26 pts, 449 yards, 264 passing, 185 rushing. vs Lions - 42 pts, 375 yards, 211 passing, 164 rushing. Literally two of their three last games, with the Lions game being played after having secured home field through playoffs. Their healthy scratches in the final game vs Philly...

I think you're missing a fair amount of context here. You can't go by pure numbers because that was the same metric used going into the first GB/Dal game when it came to the rushing defense. "OMG, what will Dallas do against the #1 rushing defense?". Rush for 191 yards, that's fucking what...
