NFL Thread 2014-2015

Shouldn't John Kerry be focusing on more important things than this game?
 
Just run it with Blount and Gray, even if Bill hates him.

I think I explained my reasoning previously.

Athletes invoke god covertly/overtly citing god's plan or god is good as conveying that god helped said club/team win and/or player make key plays. I find it ludicrous to do such as god* clearly has no rooting interest in sport, seemingly more important things to worry about. It's akin to imbeciles citing god as the key factor in medical "miracles" while ignoring science and not giving credit to physicians. The same crowd will claim it's god's plan if the person dies. It's a logic failure.

*Assuming god exists, which I highly doubt.

As much as I'd like to debate you on it, we are in the NFL thread lol. I'm sure the topic has been done to death on the forum anyway. FWIW I'm a Christian and I don't think God is into picking favourites in sport either.

What I think was worse than all that was the offence we we got possession with 4 minutes left. Rather than making some 1st downs to run the clock, they opted to just make 4 loss of yards plays. Rodgers should have held to the ball for a couple of first downs.

Agreed, it was too negative and Seahawks were set for the run cos they knew we were going to try run the clock. It was silly management and play calling that cost us in the end (as well as bad decisions by players not doing their jobs)

I find the after game guessing on play-calling to be typical armchair quarterbacking from fans. Up 12 with around four/five minutes remaining, the other side hasn't done squat offensively, it makes sense to play conservatively. Instead of blaming the play-calling, blame the player that fecked up the onside kick and/or the defense for not stopping an offense that had looked miserable for 56 minutes.

Well you say after game guessing, but if you were on twitter you would see that I was discussing this with other packer fans who expected this as soon as we got the interception that we would run every single play. And thats what we did.

Yes we fecked up the onside kick and the 2 point conversion, but negativity in our plays throughout the game cost us in the end. 5 turnovers only resulted in 6 points. Says it all
 
That FB has great aggression! A TD here would be massive.

Fair points although Twitter is certainly not a solid reference point. ;)
 
fecks sake. Good D from Indy.

This game is much closer than it should be. Completely dominated so far.
 
Surprised Patriots didnt try to run it at least once there.

True, but more so because it was during the game rather than in hindsight. Mccarthy can get too conservative and in the 4th quarter we played not to lose rather than keep up the intensity and it cost us. Our biggest form of attack is letting Rodgers get the ball in his hand and pick up yards.

No matter what though, Packers blew it. :(
 
Good half. Score is closer than it should be.

Need to start the second half with a TD.
 
Surprised Colts didnt attempt one there with Luck as their QB.
 
Run more, free Jonas Gray, win this game. Let's go Pats!
 
Needed that TD. Good drive. Just keep running it with the odd pass thrown in.

Nah, When we have the ball we hold on to it to run the clock. Giving it back within a minute especially when we can expect hail mary plays is just insane. I knew we were making a mistake and it came true.
 
Haven't even wasted my time watching the shit.

It's got so bad I'm now going to have to cheer on the Seahawks in the Superbowl.

He needs a RB to help him. I hope they get one as I really like what the Colts and Luck have done the last couple of seasons.
