Countdown to BA getting on with his life's work thread

Re: Countdown to BA getting on with his life's work thread

I never said the defense didn't play poorly this year. I still believe that if we didn't go three and out so many times in the 4th quarter (whilst passing thus stopping the clock) Green Bay would not have had the time to score 22 points. but what do I know. I guess two possessions that took less then a minute off the clock each isn't the problem.
the thread was about BA so i've tried to stick to the BA aspect.

I didn't go any further then the praise you gave for the D in the GB game regarding the D. They weren't good in the 4th.. I merely disagreed. I get the feeling that in BA threads the D can't get criticized.. but in D threads.. anyway...

The problem with our team is we aren't built to run with our OL... I agree we should be..but also remember we do not have Bettis and GB has a damn good run D. The days of lining up when we want to and running even if the D knows it are gone. It may work against lesser teams but not against stout run D's....

hopefully our OL coach gets these guys blocking better in the run.. but I doubt we ever become what we were with Bettis because he was a HOF. Ben is our Bettis and it's a chance we take passing.. but it has also helped us get SB rings so...just sayin'

3rd and 2 in KC and we run a sweep with Moore.. I didn't like it.. but that is the rub.. when is it OK to call a run? When is it OK to call a pass? I think we are calling plays to move the chains.. unfortunately when they don't work it doesn't grind clock.. when it does? We are scoring too quickly..

I think if the other side did their job like we know they are capable the frustration levels would be lower this year regarding the offense.

I've always assumed that the less the other team has the ball the more likely they are to not score points. I could be wrong though.

TOP was 4th in the league.. I know it can be skewed though.. somehow.

it can be. easily. throw a pick six here allow a kick return for a td there. allow the 4th most return yards per kick/punt return in the NFL. playing very poorly situational football. take sacks on 3rd and 1 against the browns (twice). you know that kinda crap.
