Yeah agreed. The game was closer yesterday than it needed to be. A nice, long scoring drive would have set the Packers up well to start the 2H. That didn't happen, and the Bears used their RBs on two drives, one about 8 minutes, to wear out the Packers' D.
Yeah that "barely a handshake" after the game said it all. Johnson talked too much, and MLF and the Packers delivered. But Johnson's comments will be BB material for the Packers every season, every game. Not very smart of Johnson.
Love has really improved when it comes to delivering good throws with a defender in his face. That's confidence, and courage.
I could have sworn that coming into the Bears game, I saw a stat that Love was not good against the blitz this season. Obviously, yesterday he did really well.
From SumerSports and PFF....I would have to go back and double check, I don't think these numbers include yesterday's game yet...
Good news because the Broncos D plays man/press coverage. Doubs, Reed, and Watson are very good route runners. They get separation quickly and so all could have big YAC days.
Thanks, we like it. In the country about 18 miles straight south of East stadium in Green Bay if I Google mapped it right.
Nice place with a great view. One advantage of living in the "country".
Dogs can roam, cats are semi feral (they killed and ate three rabbits after first snow.)
From what I have seen the Broncos lead the league in sacks. They get off the ball quickly and blitz plenty. Nix is similar to Caleb but does not have as big an arm and sometimes tries very risky throws. Broncos are very good on special teams with a good punt returner. Whelan has to be careful not to over kick coverage.
We started with a play fake, no one open, and Love had to throw it away. Jacobs got stuffed. 3rd and 10 and we wind up punting after another incompletion. Bears got the ball with less than a minute off the clock in the 3rd quarter. And the possession after our 3rd TD, which only took a few plays, we had another 3 and out. This is what let the Bears back into the game. Cannot go down and score each possession but we needed at least to move the chains, give our D a rest, and try to pin them deep. Easier said than done against a good D.
Thanks for the intel on Denver milani. Against Chicago, when blitzed, Love completed 8 of 11 passes for 126 yards and 2 TDs.
I've never owned a dog and you cited the reason - space to roam. We lived in Northern CA for 18 years and even the single-family homes are built on postage-stamp sized parcels of land. That's just not a place for a dog.
A number of Packer pundits compared that Watson TD slant to the Nelson TD against Revis years ago.
That was almost all in the 2nd half. They had fewer than 40 yards in the first half, and Johnson made some excellent halftime adjustments and their running backs dominated the entire 2nd half.
Yep and I expect we will see more of these plays. Watson accelerated to 21 plus MPH on that TD, and he didn't even look like he was working hard. And all immediately after an ACL recovery.
