PokerPacker Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 1 minute ago, GhostofSparta said: And unlike last week, this one had almost no impact on the game. Sure, it gave the Redskins 15 and a first, but then they had a hold and false start to give the 15 back, and ended up punting anyway. Oh well, the more egg on the NFL's face over this asinine rule, the better. The thing that will make it such a big story is that it was already a big story last week when it cost the Packers a victory, and then a week later the very same player got called for it again. Had it been anyone else, it wouldn't be as big of a story. But as you said, it's better this way if it leads to the NFL being forced to backpedal on this BS, because it will ruin football. Oh, and just as I type that out, the Cowboys got hit with one. My goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoshuaj Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Takeaways from the game: AP looked like he got tweaked. It's early but good time for a bye. Defense, game ball Win or lose, our coaches suck ass Alex Smith/Kirk Cousins "discussion", meh, it's a coin flip between the two but by all means keep banging that drum of unproductive angst. as whiney ****es as this board can produce with all things ref related, I'd hate to have been on the Packers side of calls today, wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSSkinz Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 What a great game, it wasn't pretty but watch some other games around the league and you see much of the same, we just beat a banner franchise and I don't care about the excuses about bad knees and what not. It's not easy to get wins in the NFL and while we dropped one last week we thought we would win, we won one this week we thought we would lose.

UKskins Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Great win. Very happy with that, even if it was ugly at points. Dad kinda plays at being a Packers fan but isn't really that bothered on it and doesn't know much about football - His verdict was Peterson minced them and Alex Smith ain't great. I was pleased to see some big plays from the new guys too - Payne with the sack, P-Rich with a few nice catches, including the 45 yard TD. Peterson is just a machine though. He's incredible. Anyway, great win - didn't expect much out of tonight but the defense played a real nice game and the Offense got a real nice half in before collapsing. I don't care if Rodgers was on one leg, we beat him somehow and that's all the record books will say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 1 minute ago, Nerm said: I think Skins fans have a lot to be happy about with this game. Big plays from the 1st round picks, Alex averaging almost 20 yards per completion in the first half, good overall defense (except the blown coverage). The Skins were really in control throughout the game. I wouldn't stress too much about the 2nd half offense, they played conservative, but that kept their win probability over 90% throuout the 4th qtr. Great 1st half offense. Some moments of crap play from the defense but then again it's against Rodgers so sometimes you take that with a grain of salt...they came up with some big plays when they needed it. However I disagree about it being 90%. When you're up by 11 against Rodgers with anything over 10 minutes left the game is absolutely a 100% toss up and if you decide to go conservative and turtle to try and protect that lead, IMO it drops to about a 25% chance of winning. We got insanely lucky with some horribly timed drops and penalties from the Packers. Happy about the win, but unhappy that Jay still seems to have one (or more) of a few problems... 1) Insists on going conservative and protecting a lead even against one of the GOAT QBs. 2) Is completely unable to make any adjustments. 3) Wants to make adjustments but is incompetent at it when a defense adjusts to what he's doing. Probably a combination. It's insanely frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad it didn’t really affect the outcome of this game but it is hurting the game in general. It also cost the packers a win last week. I don’t know what Mathews was supposed to do.

It's not like he picked him up and body slammed him. It was a clean, hard hit. Which is generally part of football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdlives Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 What a disappointing win. Our team has a tendency towards complacency and that ain’t good. I think it stems from Snyder, quite frankly. There’s too much history going back years to think otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The call was right and the rule is a good one. A hit just like that broke Aaron Rodgers's collarbone last season. The NFL game doesn't need hits like that to be watchable. But you know what the NFL game does need in order to be watchable? Competent QB play. That's why they are being protected from injury. If you leave your feet to hit the QB then you have to roll most of your weight off of him before the landing. Smart defenders will adjust quickly. It's a good rule change and I'd be surprised if the NFL abandons it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stories to me were Washington coming out of the gate hot, and Packers receivers killing drives with drops on 3rd/4th. What everyone will talk about, though, is Roughing The Passer. The Fox crew said the same thing along the lines I did... in another words making excuses for Rodgers...lol Well last week Rodgers was on fire so they decided to start him but should have given him a game off.. .

justice98 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The improved DL was our pass rush today. And I dont think it was the edge forcing Rodgers to step up into the rush up the middle. Our edge rushers were MIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
