Only thing I can think of is the defense knows EXACTLY what's coming & when.
You know.... how a lot like most of us can call a play before we see it.
I have a hunch the guys on the other side of the field making millions can probably do the same....just a hunch.
The D should always have an idea of what is coming, but ultimately the issue with the offense is just execution. There are a million "what if's" with this offense and they all center are the throw being a little better or the receiver making the catch or the QB making the right decision. The three phases of the game are symbiotic...the O needs to drive the ball to give our crappy Punter some room, the crappy Punter needs to hit it right so the D isn't backed up with a short field, the D needs to keep the other O off the field to give their O more chances with the ball.
Also Capers sucks, so there's that also.
When McCarthy used the multiple personnel groups last week on the first 2 drives, they looked (and were) unstoppable.
That was too boring for McCarthy/Rodgers. They got up by a couple TD's and wanted to go for the kill rather than keep going for what works.
"Let's look at each of his punts because the issue seems to be disagree on how to generalize his stats. "
No, the issue is that I think his performance is entirely adequate. And by adequate, I mean effectively indistinguishable from the effects other punters have on their teams' success.
Okay well that's that. A 26% success rate is well below adequate and definitely below many of his peers. His net average may be indistinguishable, but again, that stat is as adequate as Jacob Schum...not at all.

I think it was Peanut Tillman on one of the shows this week who said just that....in his opinion the Packers are pretty predictable....
Yep, they predictably beat the Bears every time they played.

Honestly, it's like....
"OK! We better not put anything else on tape for Bill Belichick to see!"
Just play the game & crush teams like we know the Packers are capable of.

See Boss, this is exactly it.
I think at some point, MM3 got infatuated (or him and 12) about the 'tempo' offense.
I think it all traces back to when the Pats came to Lambeau and BB complemented MM3 with the whole package with Cobb as the 'wildcard'.
I am not sure he ever lost his feeling of pride from that comment. Then, after a couple of seasons of new shiny tempo, the focus has been lost.
Is it 12? Is it team 12MM3?
I think they know what they can do when they need to, but I think they are so infatuated with what they need to do in their minds, we all have to suffer a bit.
I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a bit of stubborness and surprise involved with what they do and can do. I still respect them both. But enough with the games. If we can see it, then they can too on their self scout.
Right now is not the time to see if you can make a pancake without baking soda.
Take the boxed stuff, add water, use the good syrup in the pantry, add bacon. Feast.
This'll probably jinx him.
The fact you haven’t heard much about Schum over the past two months is a good thing. He’s really hit his stride over the last six games. His 40.5 net average is currently tied for 14th in the NFL. If he maintains that pace, it actually would reset the franchise record Tim Masthay set last year at 40.2. That’s a testament to Schum’s consistency given the number of different players the Packers have had to use as their gunners this season.
And the fact Janis! sucks.
I noticed he hasn't been sucking. keep it up kid. I'll admit TT didn't blow it if I still feel this way next year at this time.
