They were the better team tonight.
At least he didn't say tomorrow because we know tomorrow never comes. Like in Free Beer Tomorrow.
he is here for the year because basically because nobody else on staff knows what to do. Bring Jerry Gray back next year. Give someone from Tennessee or Houstons defensive staff a shot. I did not think anyone could be worse than Petine or Capers at the end but I was wrong.
Just watched MLF presser .. .. talked all about "communication problems" ...translation - we have a lot of dumb players on defense.
Communication problems?
JFC quit talking like a damn accountant. You play defense, you line up and hit and tackle and cover the guy across the field wearing the other uniform.
MLF just doesn’t get it.
I wonder. Who would be in charge of making sure defensive players understood the defense and got their communication right? Someone would need to coach the defense or something to that effect.
Oh well, I guess we’ll never know.
MLF
Unless you're trying to tank the season and go 6-11
Then ....I'm all for it
@BrainDed posted:This is what I was talking about in the game thread. Someone commented on only giving up 13 points in the 1st half as being satisfactory. No, it wasn't. It was fools gold because they were getting slowly bled out. The red zone stops were not sustainable because of the amount of time spent on the field getting worn down.
The stat I'm interested in is points per drive. Barry's philosophy shortens the game as he allows these long drives so the points per game looks better than it is. But he puts his offense under extreme pressure as they need to score every drive to keep pace.
Brilliant post. Basically, Barry’s defense is designed to keep the ball away from his offense.

Wasn't the reason he kept Barry last year was something about continuity on defense? There is no one playing on the defense that hasn't been here since training camp. Communication problems shouldn't be happening in Game 14 after 6 months of practices and meetings.

And there it is. One of the most talented units in the league but poorly coached. As a result, they stink!

Starts with the dumb coaches.
@R MaN posted:The positional coaches.
Jerry Gray has zero problems communicating with the DB's. I wonder why that was? And he was CLEARLY undermining the DC who Gray knew was in over his head but he gets the DC gig....because he married Marinellis daughter?!?!
MLF has no balls.... 🖕🏼🖕🏼
The DC is clearly in over his head but hey.....let's let him "coach out the string" classic Packers
How many of the talented players on defense will want to leave after this season?
When Brandon Staley gave his press conference after they got hammered by the Raiders, I told the Wife.....he's gone tomorrow. Fired....
She sends me the link when it happened and I just laughed.
The fact Joe Barry is allowed to coach this team is a 💯% travesty and classic Packers

I hope Carolina beats the pants off of this shitty defense.

And kept Maurice Drayton on for an entire season even though he told Aikman and Buck THE WEEK BEFORE THE SF PLAYOFF GAME that year that he just hoped his special teams wouldn't do something to cost them the game.

I'm thinking Bryce Young might get himself in the Rookie of the Year conversation after this game.
Anyone notice what a REAL defense did to Tommy cutup of the Giants yesterday??
So in the final quarter and a third (aka Garbage time) Tommy picked up another 104 yards passing.
Saints completely shut him down with far less talent on their defense than the Packers.

Joe Barry actually made The Onion today
If the Packers lose to Carolina and the defense gives up more than 21 points, Joe Barry needs to be fired before they board the plane back to Green Bay.
The Panthers have not scored a TD in the last two games.
They have not scored a TD in the first half in the last 5 games.
They are averaging less than 12 points a game in their last 8 games.
Barring a special teams or offensive turnover to give them points, there is no excuse to give up more than 10 points against them.
@FLPACKER posted:Just watched MLF presser .. .. talked all about "communication problems" ...translation - we have a lot of dumb players on defense.
I think the communication problem is between MLF and Joe Blow. And why the hell he doesn't do something about I can't understand. Several times during games I have seen MLF appear to be livid when the D blew a play. Send Joe Blow packing, JUST DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barry has to see the handwriting on the wall. If he had any semblance of self respect he'd just resign now. But, oh wait, he wants to get paid to finish the year before getting shit canned. If the Packers trot him up to the podium for another press conference this year to mumble and bumble his lame horseshit I'm gonna gag. Surely wont watch if they do.

You really expect the guy to quit and give up his paychecks for the rest of the season…especially when he sees the writing on the wall and knows he’ll likely be out of a job soon?

The hiring of Barry was symptomatic of MLF's emphasis on "scheme" ....how about hiring with an emphasis on the ability to motivate, teach, and hold guys accountable, regardless of scheme.

Communication problems, as in Rudy Ford making Joe Barry look bad by jumping up and down while screaming at Jonathan Owens who apparently needed a word with Quay just before the snap. The tape of this game is 1000 times worse than watching it live. Communication problems in week 15 of year 3. MLF is running a clown show.
A little @Eagles scoopage today: Philly very quietly made a change at defensive coordinator this week moving out Sean Desai to another position and replacing him with Matt Patricia. Desai remains with the team in different capacity but Patricia now runs and calls the defense…

Well, the scheme sucks too. MLF doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Go to their website, scroll thru the sports section. Some headlines are hilarious
In the old days they used to distribute their paper around town free of charge. Awesome thing to read during my lunch. For some reason since they left town I’ve really stopped reading their stuff. I don’t know why.
Attending the state wrestling meet in Madison in the late 80s as a 15yr old, I came across a copy on the street. There was a front page story about Shalala being one of the evil flying monkeys in the wizard of oz. It was done so straight faced that I wasn't quite sure what I was reading. I had never seen anything like it and my head was exploding.
So many of their stories have been quoted in serious new stories around the world. It is absolutely hilarious.
Wait.
But she was an evil flying monkey.
What the fuck?
