After 2 weeks

After two weeks...

 

The Steelers (team) have 74 yards rushing. James Starks had 132 yesterday.

 

 

After two weeks...

 

Aaron Rodgers has been pressured on 26% of his drop backs. 3rd lowest in the league, per PFF.

Rodgers has 813 yards passing. 

 

Eli Manning has 812 yards passing

One of those 2 QBs is elite and one isn't.

The parity also exists in fantasy football.  Hey, maybe they are related!

This is what I like to see as a fan (a tweet from Wilde): McCarthy on concerns about mental performance, why? "Coaching. When your team isn't sharp as it needs to be, we take that personally."

 

I like that attitude that the coaches take it personally when guys don't mentally do as well as they should; the coaches set a high standard for themselves and the players. Still, the players need to take some responsibility for playing mentally sharp as well. Blown coverages, for example. But, with this coaching staff and the way GB is playing, I wouldn't be surprised if we get raided after this year for staff members again. I think MM and TT will hang on to as many as possible, but some may want to have an opportunity that they could only get elsewhere. Edgar has really done a job with the receivers and now their YAC tied a record at 280 yards against Washington, Greene the LBs, etc. It might be time next year to move them into "assistant coordinator" positions to further their growth and hang onto them.

I would hope that Greene can coach CMIII (in whatever role) for most of the Claymaker's career.  He knows how to get the best out of CMIII.    

ESPN:

 

Packers wide receivers have had 37 catches without a drop this season. Green Bay receivers had 21 drops last year, fourth most in the league.

Apparently, the interception off Finley's hands in Game 1 doesn't count as a drop?

Wide receivers

After two weeks...

 

Evan Dietrich-Smith is the suckiest suck that ever sucked at football.

 

 

Suckier and a bigger abomination to the human race than AJ Hawk?

 

I agree EDS is a shameful human being, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.  

After 2 weeks Crosby is also worthless. Tied for 2nd to last in the league with 1 field goal. 1!!

 

 

After 2 weeks Usama Young has more sacks than CMIII. Cut his ass.

I heard EDS tried to falcon-punch a cancer lady, but whiffed.

 

 

and then she scored a touchdown

After 2 weeks Aaron Rodgers doesn't properly know how to take a knee. Step 1 is not actually touching your knee on the ground. Step 2 is placing the ball on the ground and telling the ref it's down. 

Right, I forgot. TDs are always scored when EDS whiffs.

EDS= Everytime Defender Slips past!!!

With 66 points in two games, the Packers rank second in the NFL in scoring. Only the Denver Broncos (90 points) have scored more in the first two weeks.

The Packers are only slightly off their scoring pace from 2011, when they averaged 35 points per game and scored a franchise-record 560 points, which remains the second-highest single-season total in NFL history. Through two weeks this season, the Packers lead the NFL in yards per game (482.5) and rank second in passing yards per game (381.5)

Rodgers is looking as sharp as he did in 2011.

how can that be?  he didn't play enough in the preseason and had barely established any chemistry with his receivers.  these numbers must lie.

If he, the OL, and those WR's stay healthy as the sayin' goes "we ain't seen nothin' yet"

Funny...I heard CM III tried to headslap the same lady, but did NOT bring the knuckles!

Agreed, Tdog, and it takes 2 to tango.
How can Nelson be making catches after surgeries and missing a large portion of TC/preseason?

How can Cobb be doing the same with his injured bicep?
And how is this group of receivers surviving with he departure of the great Greg Jennings???

 

Interesting....

Things are changing quickly!!!

After week one:

16 teams were 1-0

16 teams were 0-1

Very interesting post though!!

And you're still a skidmark.  Whodathunk?

Yes, but instead of it being all chorizo, this week it's 1/3 chorizo, 1/3 breast milk from a goat and 1/3 liquid misery.  

 

The times they are a changin.

Mmmm, skidmark diversity.

A gay skidmark?  

 

So lots of Zima that week?

Zima, because zhit happens.

Okay..okay already!!!  I give!

Per @PFF, Desmond Bishop has played two snaps this season, and has one missed tackle. (Brad Jones has 15 stops, with no missed tackles.)

 

 

 

 

Greg Cosell chimes in with his film review of the Mighty Green Bay Packers after 2 weeks

On Jordy 14 yard td

"Rodgers beat a defense designed to take that throw away."





Sick.

Packers fan is in a great spot with Rodgers and the receivers he has to throw to... and Packers fan should not wet the bed when an average QB throws for 300 and a couple TDs.

 

 

From Kevin Siefert - Impossible to stop the pass?

• The league set single-week records in total passing yards (8,143) and touchdowns (63) in Week 1. Through two weeks, teams have passed for 16,355 yards and 111 touchdowns, the most-ever over that span.
• Five quarterbacks have thrown for at least 400 yards in a game without an interception, one off the record for an entire season. (It happened six times in 2012 and 2010.)
• There have been more than four times as many 100-yard receivers (38) as 100-yard rushers (nine) through two weeks. (And one of those 100-yard rushing games was by a quarterback, the Oakland Raiders' QB Terrelle Pryor.) That differential of 29 is by far the highest over the first two weeks of any NFL season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The largest differential before this season was 19 in 2011.
• Teams have combined for 36 rushing touchdowns and an average of 3.8 yards per carry, the lowest such marks through two weeks since the 2001 season.

 

"I think if you would have asked me a couple of years ago I would have said, 'Yeah.' But now, I don't think so. We've adjusted to it. We kind of take it for what it is and we don't look at it anymore as them giving an advantage to the offense. So I don't really think so. Like I said, if you had asked me a couple of years ago, it might have been different. But it's a pretty level playing field right now."
-- Leon Hall, Bengals cornerback

 

"I wouldn't say it's impossible, but it's tougher, definitely tougher. It's the way the league is now. We play in an offensive league, so they're going to protect offensive players. I don't really care for it. But that's how it is."
-- Ryan Pickett, Packers defensive tackle

400-yard passing games are the new 300-yard passing games.
