Let’s see if Mitch and Matt can find new and exciting ways to get to fourth down as quickly and efficiently as possible.
How about that. Running game is not an anomaly if you do it right. And in a "real" game, when you do that and they have to bring their safeties up and LB into the box, guess what opens up?
Greenbay basically said - both on the field and, well, they actually said, they were going to force our QB to paly QB. So what did we do? We did what they wanted us to do. THEY dictated our offensive game plan. When you have a solid Oline, and good RB's and a solid TE, you don't let the Defense dictate your offense. You attack with your plan and make THEM adjust. Mitch is a liability. But our coaching has not helped.
So.... After the win, I'm pretty much where I was before. Maybe in a worse place. Great D. World class. We took the ball away 5 times. Only one take-away was a mistake by their O. I think we had 5 sacks? Special teams was fine. But Pinerdo's leg is an issue. We have a kicker who has a fucked up knee on his kicking leg... This is an issue. On O, Mitch was mediocre to below at best. He missed big throws. He made bad throws. He still can't look of DB's. He still decides on a receiver pre-snap and eye-balls him. The worst pass D in the NFL held him to 230 yards and they picked him off in the red zone. Keenum against the best D in the NFL had 100 yards more.... Mitch is a disaster. But what is more concerning? Our Oline is a shit show as well.
Mitch, when there’s one guy on a single read can make great throws. But my god did he throw some bloopers. Yes he was under pressure but that’s zero excuse. Great win by the D, came out and got those turnovers that were missing. Won’t hold it against them that the second half was so lackadaisical, Pagano had Irving, RRH and Lynch in for a sizable portion of the entire second half. Nothing much changes for me here. Trubs liability big time. O line is garbage far too often. Nagy pulling out some head scratchers, but at this point I honestly think he might be partly hamstringed by his QB. I really don’t know what they can do about this problem, it’s a lot of hope at the moment.
That INT thrown by Mitch was such an awful throw on second look. Stuttering feet, then throws off his back foot, and underthrows Robinson (who was blatantly hooked around the neck, btw) by a good 4 yards. A Rob was behind Norman, all Mitch has to do there is toss it over Norman’s head to the back corner and easy TD. Nope, terribly under thrown for a pick. He’s incapable of getting better IMO.
I may be mistaken but wasn't that his knee brace that was pulled down as he walked out ? They showed he had one on during the game on the outside .
