Post game Packers

[skinsfaninok]

Last years loss to them should be motivation, since we let them off the hook

Eli is like Joe Flacco, except he did it twice with a way better defense. The dude is just OK, but he got hot twice when it counted (arguably once if you factor in that defense they had when they beat the Patriots).

Speaking of people who got hot that were mediocre QBs... how about Todd Collins as a blast from the past?!

Seen a couple people questioning Ryan Kerrigan after no sacks through 3 games. He was a constant thorn in the side of the Packers. Plenty of pressures, got a couple of holding calls, nice strong edge set vs the run. Packers chipped him with a TE 6 or 7 times too

Lots of discussion about Kerrigan. Agree with pressures being important, and if you have a lot of pressures you affect the game / sacks should come. Stopping the run is important. But at some level it seems like RK is underperforming, he doesn't seem to be changing games. When you discuss Khalil Mack and Von Miller - we're not talking about how pressures they've had, we're talking about game-changing talent.. And we haven't seen top tier Olines (Arizona may be one of the worst, Colts Olines were battered up,etc). Just saying I would have expected more from RK to this point, and his PFF grade is only 65.7 (above average), and the 50th ranked edge defender, which seems about right.

I think we all can agree Kerrigan just hasn't made the plays we are typical of seeing...but its just 3 games and he is still effective in his role. I have faith the sacks will come...he's been putting in the work.

Zero worried about Kerrigan....I'm more concerned with the other OLB. And actually Im MOST concerned with WR group.

Defense overall has been effective with its pass rush

Feels like every year we put Kerrigan under the microscope and it's just beyond silly at this point.

Here's a guy who averages 10 sacks a year, has been to 3 Pro Bowls, and probably most impressively hasn't missed a single damn game and somehow he's always the one getting singled out. I don't get it, never have, never will.

LOL! Now here's a guy who recognizes a CC when he sees it. We talked to him before this post and he had a great week of practice, he said he's feeling great. I think he's one of those guys who could really have a major impact on this thread.

People don't understand what they're watching. Too many just follow the ball with their eyes and conclude that if the player didn't tackle the player with the ball, they were not impactful. It's a basic lack of understanding about the game of football.

And yes they deserve to be condescended for it.

Do you ever read back any of your posts and throw up in your mouth a little bit like the rest of us when we read them?

At this point I just lol at the shit that comes out of your mouth. It's pure comedy and entertainment.

It wasn't my intent to focus on Kerrigan. However, I think I know why there is so much focus on him. When people think that there is only one OLB who can be counted on bring a consistent pass rush, it is human nature to want more from him because they believe they can't expect to get much more from the others.

Well if you're a OLB in a 3-4 you're supposed to be under a microscope.It comes w/ the territory.
