2021 Green Bay Packers @ Baltimore Ravens Official Game Thread

soft D, 3 and out on offense and poor special teams. can only improve from here

Scheiße! 

Savage beaten again.

Savage gets schooled again

Savage unable to cover a slow tight end all day.

They should be blitzing the shit out of this guy.

Savage can’t cover him

Oh, ST can always get worse.

Savage is getting worked.

Mug Andrews at the los

Huntley is impressive.  

Run the ball. Patience.

So can we expect the offense to find a rhythm by 3rd quarter?

Hubris on 3! 1, 2, 3, Hubris!

Where’s Wayne Simmons when you need him?

@Henry posted:

Gunt needs to be churning the bottom of the roster to find ANYTHING for ST.  Yiadom holding a roster spot is just worthless.

He's been one of their better special teamers prior to that play. Let that sink in.

Not so sure it would work.  Huntley doesn’t look like a chump rookie back there.  They are getting pressure but the normal coverage sacks are nowhere to be found today.

Working the middle of the field.  Gotta love Sullivan.

That’s another schmuck taking up a roster spot.  Him and Yeahdumb useless as a third pinkie.

What special teams gaffes and/or poor performances am I missing?

1. Blocked FGs due to a scheme problem

2. Missed FGs due to poor holds

3. Missed FGs due to the kicker becoming a head case because of the first two  problems.

4. Shanked punts

5. Kickoffs out of bounds - opposition gets the ball at the 40

6. Long kickoff returns

7. Muffed punts

8. Punt returns for TDs

9. Running over the punt returner before he touches the ball

10.  Fielding a kickoff and running out of bounds at the 5

11. Averaging 6.7 yards per punt return (none longer than 17)

12. Averaging 17 yards per kick return

So, we are missing a punt being blocked, but we have almost everything else covered.

Ravens one of the best run defenses in the league.

This puts Andrews over 1000 yards. He should not be treated like an ordinary TE. Basically he is their main receiving threat.

Of course a flag on a good return.

JFC!

And there goes a great return negated...SHOCKER

And a flag on a decent return.

Of course there’s a penalty.  Drayton’d again.

Of course; can't have a return without a penalty.
Just take the touchback, for heaven's sake.

The officials were like  - "there had to be a penalty on that, there's no way the Packers can get that nice a return without holding someone."

STAY IN THE END ZONE.

DRAYTON IS SIMPLY OVERWHELMED.

WHO ELSE CAN WE PROMOTE FOR ASSISTING THE WORST UNIT IN THE NFL?

Of course.

Ooh, another ST penalty.

Thanks special teams wiping out a huge return.

Kelly false start.

You lack imagination.

And now a false start. 

McDuffie wipes out a 43 yard return.

Why do you open a drive inside your 20 going empty? It allows the DL to tee off (and likely contributed to Kelly's false start).

Nice, Lazard!

Offense needs a sustained drive or the D will be gassed before halftime.

Nice job by Lazard.
