Day After Discussion
Here we are on Monday morning after another loss. But honestly I don't feel that bad about this one. The lack of a crowd in the dome definitely gave the Packers a little boost. Aaron Rogers is one of the best QBs to ever play.
The defense played ok, not great. You give Green Bay five times at the goal line, they're going to score. Some of that was a bad pass interference call to extend it. Then there was that mystery horse collar tackle.
Green Bay is a playoff team and it was a very close match. Maybe I'm just so happy to not be a Falcons fan today, but I'm not discouraged after last night. |

Re: Day After Discussion
Turbo, it’s pretty much how I feel also. That’s a very, Very good GB team, a SB contender. One that can score points at will and move the ball in huge chunks at a time. The Raiders loss worries me still, way more than the GB loss.

That's absolutely awful defensively. With the exception of Demario Davis, this defense is totally inept, undisciplined and not prepared. |

Regardless, cherry picking stats, from specific and deliberately selected times, in order to “prove” statistically a preconceived notion is nothing short of deliberate bias.

Cam J is declining, Trey H is a good rotational player but we need a true #1 at DE (Davenport). Play has been sloppy and the 3rd down defense is atrocious. Lattimore, MJenkins and MWilliams look awful thus far. The penalties must be cleaned up. Penalties = lack of discipline. If it's not cleaned up, this could turn into 2012 Rob Ryan's defense. |

Seven punts out of thirty two drives, one int, another int for a TD, a blocked field goal and an end of game, etc... Bottom line, any of us can massage the stats into an individual confirming bias, if we want. That tweeterologist just proved it. Yes, there are issues, and yes, both of the last two games were losses and should be analyzed..., but deliberately leaving stats out of the beginning of one game, simultaneously including later, more damaging stats shows bias, and cherry picking the numbers. |

I am not depressed. I am not depressed. I am not depressed. I am not depressed. I'm going to keep telling myself that until I believe it.

Re: Day After Discussion
My biggest gripe is that DA always takes a few weeks before he make changes to the defense and it will always cost us at least one game. In the past, we have the offense to over come that like they did last year against the Texans.
If Kamara and McCoy don’t make that huge YAC this game isn’t even close. We have to figure out a way to make plays down the field. Sometimes it’s just the threat and/or ability to draw a flag even if the pass is incomplete. It’s going to be hard to win with this defense and also having to sustain 8-12 play drives. |

Packers get the ball - 20 yard gain, 60 yard gain, TD run. Drew still didn't look right, but Kamara did enough for us to win. Lattimore ain't worth an extension, guy has regressed every year since his rookie season. Dennis Allen, why the hell does this guy have a DC job. He is awful. |
