Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dantés" data-source="post: 893221" data-attributes="member: 12283">I find the argument of "what if they shut down Adams" to be a little mystifying.1) Teams are gearing up to stop Adams every week. Given the season he's having, that has to be at the top of every DC's to do list. 2) You could say this about any team's best players-- stopping them, believe it or not, gives you a better chance to beat them. 3) Using the TB game as a case in point doesn't make any sense. I remember that game, and the problem, other than turning the ball over, was protection, not play at the WR position.4) In the 7 games this season when Adams has not been the leading receiver, the Packers are 6-1 and +64 in scoring differential. Their scoring differential when he's not the leading receiver is actually better than when he is.So if you follow the data, there's no real argument here. But people aren't following the evidence, they're playing out a narrative that they created seven months ago. And any time the offense produces a negative result, they force that result into the narrative they've created, whether it fits or not.</blockquote>
