Re: The offense
I respectfully disagree. We were the superior team and had ample amount of chances to step on their throat and end it but we played conservative. 3 turnovers and we get 6points? I can't remember. That's how you lose games you should win, letting a team hang around. To me that's unacceptable, especially on the road.

Re: The offense
I can see your point, I've just seen that story too many times. I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the line play, did they make any adjustments to help protect him ie bring a te over. In that situation, what's wrong with just going straight shotgun? I haven't read any breakdowns yet

Re: The offense
The announcers at one point said that the play calls were obvious because of the formation and personnel. Basically they always run the same plays. If the announcers are saying that I imagine DCs are feasting on it as they watch a ton more film.

Re: The offense
I think they know the o-line is shit and they don't want to get Joe killed. So they run the ball and design plays where Joe can get rid of the ball quickly. I mean, Hurst was a human turn-style yesterday. Austin didn't do so well on the right side either.

Re: The offense
What about switching to shotgun, how much would that help in these cases? Any time I see a 5 step drop, I fear all hell is about to break loose thanks to #43 in the playoffs years ago, although Rice missed that blitz pickup if I remember correctly

Re: The offense
They did give him help but there were breakdowns on the right side as well. Bowanka was playing RG yesterday. Our line is depleted beyond recognition right now. It's a problem, at least until Stanley gets back. However, I think the line played well enough, coupled with the conservative play calling.

Re: The offense
The main adjustment that was made was Clay Matthews getting hurt. If he continued to play it's a completely different ball game. With him out it pretty much negated any pass rush they had. Aside from that they were using their TE's in the backfield a lot being used as a lead blocker. This creates a big issue however, and Rich Gannon pointed it out a bunch, that the personnel we have in completely telegraphs what kind of play we are going to run.
