Packers vs Giants Game Thread: It's too early for this shift edition

[PackAttack12]

Rodgers patting his chest and pointing to Lazard like "yeah, that wasn't my best. Nice catch".

 

[Old Guy]

Could be worse. You could be listening to a British accent.

Actually, that may be a bloody nice change of pace!

 

[OldSchool101]

That was a good call There.

ih he goes free that’s a TD

 

[Cornelius Weems]

Dillon!

 

[PackAttack12]

The offense looks soooooo fluid today. Some missed opportunities, granted. But it's looking really solid right now overall.

 

[longtimefan]

Finally they bring up David

 

[melvin dangerr]

Looks like a catch

 

[PackerDNA]

See the turf go up? Toe drag by Cobb. That should be complete.

 

[Cornelius Weems]

I knew that was going to be challenged

 

[OldSchool101]

That’s a catch

cobb is doing wonderful

 

[Big L]

Watson looks very hesitant returning kicks in my opinion

 

[OldSchool101]

This is not good, we should have stomped the Pats, (with a 3rd string QB) and we're letting the Giants hang around. I'm not saying we should be world beaters, but d***, we need to start playing better.

The giants are the #1 rushing team so they aren’t pushovers. We have to play the game but we should win by 2 scores against an average team

 

[Cornelius Weems]

That's a catch

 

[AKCheese]

Should be a catch

 

[OldSchool101]

Those chain movers are huge!

 

[OldSchool101]

We’re eating this quarter. We need points here. Get 5 yards and it’s FG range

 

[melvin dangerr]

What a wasted drive

 

[OldSchool101]

That should’ve been a draw

I agree, but there are a lot of opportunities and the Giants are hurt in the secondary, and SB is almost their only option on offense.

They keep talking about getting the five best linemen on the field. If Newman or Hansen are out there, then you're five best aren't.

 

[Big L]

Oh well

 

[Old Guy]

Teams are not jumping off sides anymore. Stop doing that crap and wasting TO over and over. TO for a sack. Sheesh. Very frustrating to see the same result over and over.

.....and then that last sequence happens.

 

[OldSchool101]

The only thing you can’t do is take a sack. Should’ve been a rollout or draw play

To me, it was clear the play didn't get in on time. Rodgers saw 12 seconds left on the clock and the huddle still wasn't broke. He told the huddle to just go up and try to get them to jump, and if not he was going to call the timeout.

Not excusing it, but that's the way it looked to me. For one reason or another, the play wasn't coming in quick enough. And you don't want to break the huddle with 7 seconds without getting a chance to see what the defense is doing.
