I am not coaching material, but the fake punt call was a bad call. The Packers sniffed it out and the play failed. It gave the Pack the best field position of the whole game I think. The call shows the aggressiveness Nagy calls the game with. He is doing a terrific job in ways that are not even obvious, but even I knew that was not a good call.
On another note, I was a bit curious on the last play of offense for GB when Rogers was sacked and they had no timeouts with 15 seconds to play in the game, why was the clock stopped? it was a sack in bounds. I know there was a penalty, but I thought the clock restarted. The Bears didn't take the penalty. That seemed odd to me.
Agreed. I was literally yelling at the TV to run the clock. We got a sack and the clock should of run. They committed a penalty and BENEFITED. GRR.
Good post. One point I will disagree on slightly is about the Packers secondary. I think those corners are going to be a terror for years to come as they come into their own.
I'm not sure we are all saying it was a bad call if it had worked... I like the agressive nature that Nagy has, and once in a while it will bite him.
What I do like is the idea that Nagy wanted to keep pressing to avoid the typical Packer come back.
Not true. Mack does not make a legitimate impact on this team. He's simply not worth it. Or at least that's what I read here
Speaking of bad calls or at least questionable calls, GB went for the field goal on 3rd down late in the game. Why did they do that instead of waiting for 4th down?
On a GB note...I find it interesting the money they've shelled out in FA trying to find "that TE" but rarely comes to fruition.
The fake punt was a bad call.....not the way they did it, but the timing. Rory is correct, the Bears D had Rodgers on his heels the whole game...should have pinned them deep. Don't give Rodgers a short field, ever.
Nagy is a creative genius who is his own worst enemy at times as he is always trying to do something extraordinary and cute even when something simple is required. At this point, you can pretty much count on him making a horrible decision at least once per game but so far it hasn't cost us but it is my biggest concern heading into the playoffs even beyond Trubs at QB.
Yeah, ever since Jermichael Finley went down, which seems like a decade ago now, the Packers haven't had a threat at TE. The last few years McCarthy was always bringing in TEs who no one really wanted anymore as replacements...Lance Kendricks, Martellus Bennett (the worst), Jimmy Graham. Even though all of those guys sucked, they were still getting way too many targets and producing nothing.
