I mean you are just wrong about Brady's first half, that isn't trolling or giving Brady more credit than he is due, and yes Kevin King was awful.

But they didn’t really need a sense of urgency. They got back in the game. They squandered several opportunities and were a much discussed penalty away from getting the ball back and having a chance to win it at the end. Time management wasn’t an issue in this game.

Thanks for putting the no trolling tag there. I didn’t think his first half was that great. He floated a number of passes and should have been disrupted at the least. It made me feel like I was watching a bears qb, which isn’t good.

You understand the perfectly placed soft touch passes to extend drives are both intentional and a good thing right?

Can you realize if the CB isn’t stumbling all over himself and mistiming a jump those passes are really bad?

Not sure how much of Brady's career you have watched but the first two plays are a big part of his game, always has been:

1st quarter 13:36 great throw, intentionally floated
2nd quarter 3:43 great throw, intentionally floated
2nd quarter :18 horrible throw and decision


Meanwhile for Rodgers

2nd quarter 5:04 forces the ball to Adams, Lazard is wide open for a TD

[BruceW]

Saw a stat this morning that puts into perspective how flawless Aaron Rodgers typically has to be for the Packers to win playoff games:

The Packers are 9-0 in the postseason when Rodgers does not throw an INT. They are 2-8 if he throws 1 or more.

Not great. Don't mess up!

[Timebomb07]

It's shitty. Easily should be 3-7 after winning last week. We blew it.

The Packers are planning to Joe Barry as defensive coordinator, a source told ESPN.com

Barry was on the Rams staff with LaFleur in 2017, had previously served as DC of the Lions in 07-08 and Washington in 2015-16.

when you get a chance to hire a coordinator from the 0-16 Lions, you gotta go for it right

[TwoStep2888]

not great Bob

Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein
LaFleur will have to sell Barry to #Packers fans. In his four years as a DC, his teams ranked 32nd, 32nd, 28th and 28th in yards allowed and 32nd, 32nd, 17th and 19th in scoring. The first two years were with the #Lions in '07/'08, the second two were in Wash in '15/'16.

Congrats to Aaron for MVP and Woodson for the HOF. Maybe next year for Leroy.

Our D is probably totally screwed.

[TwoStep2888]

yep grats to Aaron and Charles, yep defense is boned

[TwoStep2888]

Aaron Jones back on a 4-year $48 million deal

[Timebomb07]

Love it! Run in back.

[jaking1185]

I guess this means Linsley is definitely gone.

Better draft a center high then.

[jaking1185]

Our team is saved. We re-signed Kevin King.

[TwoStep2888]

lol of course. we'd better draft a CB early because I don't know if we can count on King to last a whole season.

[Whiteyxc514]

Welp. Nice going, guys.

[jayman414]

It has been a fun ride. Maybe we can strike gold three times in a row and Love is another generational quarterback.

[jaking1185]

Wouldn't be this team without drafting secondary players in the first round. Been like that for a decade it seems.

We're screwed.

[Timebomb07]

I didn’t follow anything leading up to the draft. Anyone know anything about this kid?

Pro Football Focus had him as 3rd-4th round prospect and the 11th best CB in the draft. He’s fast though:

Stokes is one of the fastest players in this class, regardless of position. He’s not particularly fluid or instinctive, though. That’s why we viewed him as a third-round product at best. He does play the catch point well, has press experience and won’t get beat deep, but this is still a major reach. Stokes may have a bit of a learning curve getting used to the NFL illegal contact penalty, too.

My mind was blown seeing this stat: https://twitter.com/danorlovsky7/sta...258614273?s=21

The @packers last 10 first rounders have been 9 defensive guys and the QB selected to replace Rodgers?!?!??

What is the point of hanging onto Rodgers if they don’t give him more weapons?

That is a jarring stat and I agree that it's odd, but at the same time, the offense has rarely been the problem with this team.

[TwoStep2888]

kind of a boring draft outside of the AR12 drama, basically going down a checklist of needs, nothing flashy

[clayj41]

Reported home schedule for 2021:

https://twitter.com/MoenBryan/status...171371008?s=20

So much for the reports that we'd get fewer primetime games because of the Rodgers situation. We're also rumored to play at San Fran on SNF in Week 3.

[clayj41]

And now it's being reported that the Chiefs will host us Week 9. I'm scheduled to be in KC the week before that.
