[quote="DakotaT"]Our offense screwed the pooch again in the red zone./quote]

I don't understand the "again" part. The Packers have done very well in the red zone this season. Even in this game, the fumble was the only problem. In their other three red zone appearances, they got two TDs and a field goal.

Let's not turn a failure on one drive into a chronic shortcoming.

I wouldn't consider a FG a successful outcome when the team makes it down to the red zone, though. It is just the same as punting, the field position is the only difference. Obviously a FG is better than punting, but I still say that a FG is not exactly a success.

My thoughts...if Brickhands Johnson catches that one pass on the goal line, Rodgers never gets the chance to fumble, which turns into an eventual Falcon TD. 7 point swing right there, game!

Shoulda, woulda coulda though...oh well.

So two TDs and a field goal is not good enough. Apparently they must score a TD every single time they are in the red zone. High standards.

Worst part.. the pass wasn't intended for him.

Which is why it was nearly impossible to catch. Brick hands, my ass. If he's guilty of anything, he may have run the wrong route. Or maybe the other guy did. Or maybe Rodgers underthrew it.

Not at all. I'm just saying that coming out with a FG is good, but obviously we would much rather have a touchdown. If we force a turnover in the opposing team's 1-35 yard line, putting us in FG range immediately, we could do nothing and kick a FG on 4th and 10. Do you consider that series a success? Kind of, but in a tongue in cheek sort of way. Does Aaron Rodgers and his supporting 10 consider a FG a success, or are they upset that they didn't come away with 6? The field position is the only thing that changes how you feel about it, which in this case had nothing to do with the offense. I just don't like going to 4th down. Ever.

A field goal at the end of a long drive is a success in a tongue-in-cheek way? Can you explain what you mean by this? I'm confused how considering a field goal to be a success is a humorous assessment.

Considering we lost all four freaking games by a FG and would have won the Redskins game with one at the end I'll take whatever points we can put up.

IMO I think it is wise to take the points whenever your on the road playing a good team. Especially in games where it's pretty obvious neither team is going to go up and down the field scoring a ton of points.

Now in certain games like possibly NE coming up when the scoreboard is more than likely going to get lit up and the team your playing isn't that stout on defense I say you go for it there.

On the other hand when we play teams like NY or the Bears I say put the 3 points on the board every time.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
