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...

I know talking heads have to talk, but feels like the Rodgers cock-sucking is never ending at the moment. I get it. He basically willed this team into 7 straight wins and just ass-raped one of the best defenses in the league. But it's really all on their passing game, they have no run game and...

I don't know. The "official" NFL Research Twitter account could be faking it.

Parcells had a hard time stepping away from the game too. If it's something you love to do, no reason to stop if you feel you can do it.

And given that he's probably a third of the offense, him not doing anything definitely killed them. The surprising thing was how the defensive line fell off a cliff after the first quarter. Rodgers was also really on his game after he got warmed up. Only so much the secondary can do at that point.

Irvin with the troll.

Why do you think they're so salty? You go through a decade like the 80s, be one of the top teams in the NFC in the 90s, then fall to irrelevance until Harbaugh, almost win a SB again, then watch ownership buttfuck everyone back into being shit. Then again, I wouldn't expect a Chargers fan to...

So the 70s and 80s never happened? Guess you should tell Steeler and 49er fans that they've only got 1 super bowl win now.

Jooka?

I'll give you one guess on who they're chasing for the winning season streak. That's not taking away from the Pats current success, it's just that other such periods of success have been experienced before.

I still think the Patriots have the edge on team building. A 16-year run of winning seasons doesn't come easy, I don't care who your QB is. Cowboys need to continue to exhibit the success of this season to really get back to that level. 2014, as good as it was, still had holes on the team...

It's jooka, he really is that retarded.

Every QB gets hit. A good OL can only do so much for so long, which is why people make a big deal about how fast a QB can get through his reads and get the ball out. That said, you can't account for freak accidents on a hit. When he broke his collarbone the first time last year, it was because...

Too Tall Jones was drafted in '74.

Gotcha. I'm not old enough to go back that far and didn't get into the team until the mid 80s. That's an impressive haul for sure.

Not sure I would classify the '89 draft as a "haul". Aikman, Moose, and Stepnoski for sure. After that... Wisniewski sticks out but he played for the Raiders his whole career. Not even sure you're serious about the '75 draft. Randy White was it basically. Now the '91 draft is up there...

Gregory out for a year. But at least Smith's nerve started firing. He takes the field next year and the 2016 draft is going to go down as one of the best ever, for any team.

2011 - 66.3% completion, 4184 yards, 31 TDs, 10 Ints, 102.5 rating 2012 - 65.6% completion, 4903 yards, 28 TDs, 19 Ints, 90.5 rating 2013 - 63.9% completion, 3828 yards, 31 TDs, 10 Ints, 96.7 rating 2014 - 69.9% completion, 3705 yards, 34 TDs, 9 Ints, 113.2 rating While you're not entirely...

This. I said early in his career that he felt like the next Danny White. Some individual success, yes, but never the success fans wanted, meaning a Super Bowl.

When healthy, Romo is a very good QB. Someone will pony up for him this offseason, it's just a question of who and for how much. I figure if Linehan lands a HC job that'll be where he ends up. A 2nd for him, with conditionals for injury and/or success in the postseason, isn't too far fetched.

You basically just proved his point.

Jacksonville wasn't that bad on defense though (13th DVOA). It was their offense that was putrid (27th).

They've feasted well against the offensive dregs of the league. Rams (32nd scoring offense), Browns (31st), 2 games vs Jets (30th), Houston (T-28th), San Francisco (27th), Bengals (24th), Denver (22nd), and Baltimore (21st). You can only face the teams you're scheduled against but that there is...

Oddly enough they were pretty split on offensive/defensive snaps at 1003/1000, and TOP was just under 30m.

So Bowles isn't going anywhere but a several he brought on to help him are out. One more opening: Jets announce offensive coordinator Chan Gailey is retiring Pretty major step back for them overall this year. I'm sure the Fitzgerald drama didn't help matters. I figure he's going to need a major...

The one video linked previously talks about this. The story was the last thing they settled on because they felt they needed something even if it was shallow. Eventually they decided to embrace the lunacy of fighting demons, had the corporation go all in, and kept the story as something you...
