First one was a terrible call, having CJ stand still waiting for the pass to get there. and the 2nd one was a bd throw with CJ on the move. I liked the 2nd one but the throw was awful
I forgot about that one. As an OC, you hope and pray for a CJ vs. Julius Peppers matchup in space.
First game we lost due to a lack WR and CB depth not being addressed. As soon as Decker went out, we had nothing except Kerley. I wont say the play calling was great, but Salas couldnt get separation across the middle and GB started doubling Kerley (even on the timeout play he was double covered).
I know no one agrees, but not adding a #2 CB or WR in the offseason definitely bogged down the offense and made playing a 80% Milliner a must.
On the other hand, we lost to GB at GB due to a BS timeout. Not that GB is anything special, they're an 8-7-1 team last year even with Aaron Rodgers...they'll be an 8-8 team this year too. Due to not adding a #2 CB or #2 WR...we likely will be too.
Would have liked to see Pryor finally make an impact or Amaro make some plays. Rookies, despite 12 picks, aren't helping us at all.
Ivory looks like he lost some weight and has some wiggle, love what he's giving us and TBo made up for a lack of production from the TEs. Really wish Geno recognized the blitz on that INT because he had a TE in the flats wide open but Sudfeld did break wide open. Geno was hot but the second half as soon as Decker went out, our offense went out. Tate, Sanders, DJax, Catchery, Maclin, Nicks, Andre Roberts, Miles Austin, or Riley Cooper sure would have helped this week...but I guess that stack of money we're sitting on was worth giving Stephen Hill another chance.
Oh well, lack of depth and we definitely looked young and conservative once we got the lead. Wont be the last time.
We just lost to a mediocre Packers team that will likely finish last in the division.
