That is just not how I imagined Ringo to look like at all.
This was always the image of Ringo in my head at Packers game (drunk as hell is also an important feature)
Side note. I have met this guy in the photo. The man was dddrrruuuuuunnnnkkkkkkkk.
Just assumed it was always Ringo.

Great halftime ceremonies for Willie Davis and Bobby Dillon today.
Watching replay now. Just realized Crosby almost missed the XP before half.

Either your memory is really, really good... or you read the board frequently.
Read More. Post Less.
4 first half carries for Dillon and Jones. Eek.
Heckuva ball to Tonyan for his TD.

Jaylon smith was better this week than he was last week, and better than Oren Burks. Which is the main reason I want Smith on the team (keep burks off field)

Wow just realized how unlucky they got on the heneicke sneak where they called him dead.
Also 53 had nice coverage on the pass catcher on 2nd down and goal, then goes up and lays out lowry lol

That was just a great play by Campbell

How was that bad luck" Campbell caused a fumble before the ball broke the plane. Although the QB recovered his own fumble, he was in the grasp of several Packers and does not get to advance a fumble after he was touched. It was the right call. It was not luck but good D by the Packers.
That's very well in theory, and I agree in theory that he should have had a TD. But not in practice.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑24 Oct 2021 17:00If he was giving himself up to avoid a hit or tackle, sure. This was a guy on the wide open field with no threat to him who didn’t go feet first. It was dumb. Not a soul would have complained if they called it a TD and never reviewed. Sure, Taylor will learn from his mistake, but to me the consequence was far too great for the mistake
In practice, the law says, as it must say, that if the QB gives himself up, he gives himself up full stop, no question. You can't have a law where the defender has to work out why the QB is sliding before deciding whether to tackle. Either the QB is performing an action during which he can be tackled, or he is performing an action which saves him from being tackled, and the reason behind the action is irrelevant.

The asterisk was for calling the defense, "dominant." It was not meant as toward the game overall. Dominant defenses do not allow over 400 yards. WFT mistakes had a lot to do with them not scoring more points. It's great that the defense did not allow more than ten points, but they were not dominant.Pugger wrote: ↑24 Oct 2021 17:40An asterisk? Why? A win is a win in this league. There are no style points in the NFL. The WFT won their division last year and I was impressed with that defense of theirs. We had 4 starters on D out too. This was a big win because next week is gonna be a major challenge on a short week against an undefeated team.williewasgreat wrote: ↑24 Oct 2021 15:17I would put an asterisk next to this one. The WFT screwed themselves to keep from scoring more points. Was not really a dominant defensive game.

I said “sneak”, probably should have said “scramble”

Was he giving himself up or diving to the goal line? Looked like an unathletic (even tho he seems fairly athletic) dive to the goal line to me.dsr wrote: ↑25 Oct 2021 04:38That's very well in theory, and I agree in theory that he should have had a TD.

I think at this point we are finding we are a top 10 defense with an offense that is probably around average. Maybe top 10 offense too if they have to.williewasgreat wrote: ↑25 Oct 2021 05:13The asterisk was for calling the defense, "dominant." It was not meant as toward the game overall.

We have beaten up teams that we should beat up with good wins on the road vs San Fran and Cincy. All other teams we should have beaten we have beat by double digits which is what you would expect; what has been impressive is we are doing this with a lot of injuries.
Overall our players have had up and down seasons with the primary consistent performers being Clark, Adams and Campbell. I think Gary is getting close to being in that group as well. Maybe Stokes too.
Our offensive line has been admirable with the injuries and based on their opponent (just a killer row of defensive fronts since week 3) but they have to start performing better to allow our passing game to thrive.
Packers Defense Total Yards: 7th with 331 yards per game
Packers Passing Defense: 6th with 211 yards per game
Packers Rushing Defense: 22nd with 121 yards per game
Packers Defense Points Allowed: 7th with 20.9 points per game

I think right now our defensive statistics are being inflated due to the opponents we are facing. I think we are likely more in that 9th to 12th range (maybe 10th to 13th) rather than 6th to 8th range. Still pretty admirable considering we are not playing with 2 All Pro players the last few weeks and relying on guys we signed 10 days ago or less.
I would say our weakness at this point is allowing opposing QBs to make big plays with their feet. We also have issues finishing plays which has been a weakness of the Packers defense my whole life. The players are in position, they just don't make the play whether it be a sack, a tackle or turning their head around and knocking the ball down.
I feel like I have been noticing a lot less of Tyler Lancaster and a lot more of Lowry and Keke playing the last few weeks. Likely a cause of why our rush defense isn't as strong, but they also have been producing more in the passing defense attack.
