ATL is 6-3. Watch them play and they look nothing like a playoff team either.
So you have to look good while winning. Is that one of the tie breakers?

It has been really bad. It's as if MM is protecting Clements.
It's called smoke n mirrors. And teams like this are identified come playoff time.
2011 Packers a good example.
Something definitely isn't right.
It's almost as if they're purposely playing vanilla & saving it for the stretch run so as not to put anything on tape.

Can't wait for the playoffs and the new plays, wrinkles, schemes and trickaeration MM and Dom are working on.

With 5 of the six divisional games remaining plus a tough NFC roadie with Arizona that thought has crossed my mind quite a bit.
Also not having Ty Montgomery on the field is probably hurting quite a bit. 88 is made for the short passing game on the perimeter, either from the backfield or slot.

Jordy 4.51
Monty 4.50
Jordy, faster than other guys on gameday.

This offense is broke. This is what makes the game against Detroit a toss up.
It is a systematic team failure and nobody seems to know how to fix it or are just plain incompetent. They should be embarrassed.

Not a good look for many players, especially Kuhn and Hayward.
FYI I'm betting the Lions on the money line. +550

drifted toward receiver Jerricho Cotchery as cornerback Casey Hayward lagged slightly behind.
Well, Cotchery is a hell of a burner. Wait, I meant to say legless slowhump.
Sounds like the team just wasn't prepared and didn't communicate well. Linsley's communication issues are surprising not only because of how good he was last year, but also because he's flanked by two all-pro guards. If he's struggling, those guys need to pick up some slack and make the right calls.

I don't know the extent of the cheating nor the impact it has made on the Patriot's success. And I have a dislike for the franchise on this whole issue.
Regardless, the level of legitimate play of the Patriots is unfortunately probably the finest in the league and the cheating element cannot dismiss that.
When the two of you decide which side of the fence you're on let us know. Thanks.
I didn't know I was on any fence.
Stat of Week from Peter King
Aaron Rodgers, 2014: 38 TD, 5 Int.
Rodgers, 2015 (projected) 38 TD, 6 Int.
Packers after 8 games
2014: 5-3 T-1st NFC-N
2015: 6-2 T-1st NFC-N
Rookies always have a bit of an element of surprise vs opponents because of the lack of tape on them. Sophomore slump has a lot to do with teams having enough history to gameplan vs. them and attack their weaknesses. How will guys like Linsley, RR, HHCD and Adams counter?
Richard Rodgers will freak them out by being even slower than expected. Good coverage guys will be so far ahead of him he'll be open in the dust cloud.

I played IM basketball in grad school with a guy like that. Great post moves but slower than slow. Defenders couldn't handle the slowmo moves.

Rodgers was off for the whole Denver game and half of the Carolina game. He has played great otherwise.
Hey...This is Idiocracy.
No room for common sense in these posts.
Here's a really revealing stat from Demovsky- a full 40% of the Packer drives go three and out, the worst in the league. Dysfunctional, broken, or whatever you want to call it it ain't working and Pittsburgh Macho needs to rediscover the magic.
There's a reason I bet the Lions to win.
The Packers aren't very good right now & any NFL team getting 5.5/1 odds to win a game is insane.
Don't worry. I haven't cashed a ticket in over 3 years
You'll go 3 and out more often when you suck ass on 1st and 2nd. Lots of 3rd and 8 or more lately.
Should have added that last year they were tied for lowest league percentage of three and outs. That's how significant the offensive deterioration has been.

Exactly, last week we had something like 13 first downs where we gained zero or negative yards. Third down is just a symptom of first down.

Too clever by half, is the technical term for it.

Especially now that there is a rookie salary limit. Before, there might have been more logic to risking trading a first round pick that might not pan out with a salary that could cripple a cap (Ryan Leaf anyone?). MUCH less financial risk involved in first rounders now.
You guys have obviously never seen Draft Day.
With Lacy's total lack of effectiveness, I want to start a grassroots movement to lobby Coach to put in Alonzo Harris! Harris and Starks=RUNNING GAME!!!
I like Harris, but It's something that Eddie is going to have to work his way through. The last thing you want to do is shut him down completely.
