Packers Vs. Ravens: First Impressions

My immediate thoughts on the Packers - Ravens game without the benefit of a re-watch.

...

One play into the game and Brett Hundley already looks much more confident in the pocket.

Expected the Ravens to go for it on 4th-and-30, but I guess not.

That's essentially what it comes down to. Dom Capers has to put these guys in position to make plays -- but the players also have to make the plays. Clay Matthews did.

We talk so much about Brett Hundley's confidence level, but have to wonder where it's at right about now after two bone-headed interceptions.

First career carry for Devante Mays and it's the first fumble from a Packers running back this season. That'll put him in the dog house.

When you knock Capers and this defense, you have to praise them too. Three offensive turnovers and his unit has only given up three points.

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix atones for his earlier dropped interception by making a tremendous one in coverage. Helluva job.

That was a tremendous half of football played by the Packers' defense.

Can't stress how good this defense has been. Packers stall on fourth down offensively, defense gets a short field and forces a three-and-out. Huge.

Feels like the Packers are back to where they started with Hundley. Another game where they have to get him into a rhythm and help him develop confidence.

Today marks the 11-year anniversary of the Packers being shut out at Lambeau Field, 35-0 to the Patriots. They sure are celebrating the occasion today. Still, there's a lot of football left to be played.

Kenny Clark is now down on the field in the midst of what has been a career year. What a nightmare.

Even at this point in the game -- 3:04 left in the fourth quarter -- Hundley's flaws are so evident. Offensive line hasn't been great, but he's not doing them any favors by not stepping up in the pocket.

This is officially the first time in the history of the Green Bay Packers that they've been shutout by a score of 23-0, and I'm eating all kinds of crow for my prediction.

Listening to Dom Capers in his press interview is an absolute joke he played a crappy offense they have Joe Flacco as their quarterback they have no receivers to throw the freaking ball too they have really no running back and Allen guy is just okay he is not Leonard fournette he is not DeMarco Murray is not Ezekiel Elliott he is not David Johnson he's not Todd Gurley he is not Devonta Freeman there are so many good running backs this was a crap offense we played and we gave up 23 points my defense sucks I suck and I resign as defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers because next week when we play the Pittsburgh Steelers we're going to get around 60 to 0 my name is Dom Capers and I approve this message goodbye to the Green Bay Packers organization

That "give me Hundley over Flacco" piece was flat out idiotic. As was ever single CHTV "expert "who predicted GB over Baltimore. Objective thought would be nice. This team without #12 is the Browns and GBs head coach has been exposed as mediocre (less than mediocre?). Be nice if the media started reporting it that way as opposed to kissing MMs ass. And Ted's for that matter. The GB Packer homer truly is "fake news"..

Nope. They will write this season off due to lossing Rodgers and keep riding Rodgers till he retires then after we revert back the packers of the 80s will MM be fired... maybe

"I am confident once TT is gone so is MM and Capers. Hopefully AR is still there."

You HAVE to wonder what is going on in Rodgers head. He's signed through 2019 and will turn 34 in less than 2 weeks. The Packers could offer an extension but will he sign? I would hope he does but I would also imagine the ONLY way he'd sign is if Thompson is gone. The Packers aren't going to fix the mess of all the Ted Thompson draft busts with just a good draft in 2018. Whoever the GM is he'll have to convince Rodgers he's "ALL-IN" and willing to do whatever it takes to get Rodgers back to the SB.

Don't forget about the franchise tag meaning the Packers have 2 one year options on Rodgers. That puts him at 38 when he can be pretty much guaranteed the opportunity to leave. Maybe 37.

But I'm curious why you would completely discount that what is going through Rodgers' head is that they were 4-1 with SB aspirations before he got hurt. And there is no reason to believe they would have gone 1-4 with him since then.

You believe this team would be 9 -1 with Rodgers? Wow. I know he's great, but this team has some real issues including Caper's defense and an offensive line that, even when healthy, is not great. Rodgers covers a lot of team weaknesses, but this would be way too much to overcome.

Aaron Rodgers should not play again this season, even if they aren't mathematically eliminated: The team isn't good enough to win two playoff games even with Aaron back.

Hundley is unbelievably bad. A couple of weeks ago McCarthy came to the defense of his THIRD-year QB. He needs to come to his own defense this time. I haven't participated in the previous hype about Joe Callahan (or Hundley for that matter) but Callahan should start next week. Having Hundley start again sends a bad signal to the team.

I get that frustrations are high right now. But this Rodgers going elsewhere stuff is just idle speculation that ignores a whole lot of reality.

He's got 2 years left on his current deal and would have to play under the tag at least once, probably twice. 3-4 years is an eternity in the NFL. I seriously doubt he's ready to start walking though the next 3-4 years to reach freedom.

At that time, he'd be 37-38. DC would be 69-70 and TT would be 67-68. Both could retire at any time and everything changes in GB.

Not to mention that the exit gambit depends on Rodgers believing that he cannot win in GB. That doesn't sound like the Aaron Rodgers I have been following. Watching the carnage from the sidelines seems more likely to strengthen his inner fire than extinguish it, at least to me.

Hank - Rodgers is already discussing becoming an owner of an NBA team after his NFL career. He is thinking about following in the foot steps of Michael Jordan, Derek Jeter and Peyton Manning who is considering team ownership as well. That means Aaron needs to make as much money as possible before he ends his NFL career.

Do we really want to believe that this management team is going to pay what Aaron Rodgers will expect in his new contract. When Rodgers returns next season and leads the Packers back into the playoffs and maybe earns another MVP award he is going to expect to be the highest paid player in NFL history. That will probably require $30+ million per season. Denver may go for it like they did with Peyton, Washington may go for it if they don't resign Cousins, there will be other teams in the mix as well. Remember that Rodgers is smart and so is his agent. He will go where the money is combined with his best opportunity for returning to an SB. Also he will be 35, he won't be able to carry a team as well as he has been carrying the Packers. He is going to need a solid OL, an NFL level defense, and a good running game. A game break receiver would help as well.

I hope Rodgers doesn't leave GB but I will not be surprised if he moves on.
He's watching this fiasco unfold with the rest of us and we don't even want to watch it so why should expect him to remain a part of it?

For years, Tom Brady has given the Pats a deep discount on his actual salary vs his value relative to other QBs. His cap number for this year is $14 mil. That's pretty much the highest cap hit they have taken for him to date. It jumps to $22 mil for 2018 & 2019. Which is at least in the ballpark for elite QB but still a little low.

He can ask for whatever he wants to ask for. The more he makes, the less there is available to pay the other 52 on the roster.

He'll bank $20.9 in 2018 and $21.2 in 2019 based on his current contract. Barring an extension, in 2020, he'll play in GB for the franchise tag number of QBs for that year. According to ESPN, that number is about $21.6 mil in 2017. It will go up from there to maybe $23-25 mil. Subsequent use of the tag would be at 120% and 144% of the first tag or about $30 mil and $36 mil respectively

So let's assume your $30+ mil contract expectation is correct. If they tag him 3 times with a first tag @ $25 mil, they are on the hook for $91 mil to keep him under contract through 2023 when he turns 39. By that point, Capers and TT will likely both be gone, to voluntary retirement if nothing else. At least 60% of the roster today will be turned over, for better or worse. This issues of today will be but a distant memory.

He ain't going anywhere. Just.stop.the.nonsense.

Impressions:
1. Awful, Dreadful, and Pathetic.
2. Our defense played well enough to win today. They deserved a better fate than they received.
3. I said the Packers could not turn the ball over, they did. I posted that the Packers needed to run the ball effectively, they didn't. The OL needed to protect Hundley, they didn't. They needed to throw to the TE, Hundley could not execute. They needed to win the field position battle, they lost that and the game miserably.
4. We will be lucky to get a pair of cleats for Hundley if he continues to play like he did today.
5. Another failure by the Special Teams.
6. MM, WTF are you doing out there? C'mon man!
7. I will be looking forward to Cory Jennerjohn's article on why he would rather have Brett Hundley over Ben Rothlisberger next week.

Too much money coming in to wipe the smile off Murphy's face. The Packers record is irrelevant when your stadium is sold out for the next 25-30 years, plus there is the guaranteed TV revenue. Along with the sold out stadium comes the concession sales, the museum and Packer HOF visitors. Soon there will be an annual revenue stream from "Titletown" or Packer World or whatever Murphy is focused on building.

The on field results are becoming a hobby rather than the focus of the Packers organization. Besides if revenue slips they can always raise the ticket prices. Win or lose the beat goes on. "MM is a highly successful NFL coach." Thanks, Since '61

Seems like Slocum is still the ST coach.... Never any improvement. I think ST is a lost cause as long as Mashed Potato Mike is in control of the staff/team.

The defense played extremely well but even they got worn down eventually. McCarthy's offense is poo-poo without Rodgers, just awful. This was the first time in YEARS I've actually turned off a Packers Game because I had absolutely ZERO hope they could come back. My ONLY hope for 2017 is Ted Thompson and McCarthy not being with the Packers organization after say January 2nd.

Congrats to the defense. You guys played your ass off despite being put in horrible positions by your offense time and again.

Brett Hundley has actually played himself out of the NFL I believe. If not I hope wherever he goes the Packers play them and he's the QB.

I’m not impressed by the defense against a poor offense. They played at their respective levels and the Ravens offense just sucks.

Hundley alternates between athletic and stupid, sometimes within the same play. Unfortunately, today, it happened every series.

Ugh. Looking at draft websites today.

Hundley was a 5th rounder, ie a lottery ticket. If the Pack get a top 10 pick, they should be looking QB. Might not get a high pick again.

Pathetic showing on Offense 3 home losses in a row and 1-4 since AR went down. Not very successful MM. this is your guy Hundley. This was a must win and the team laid another egg! Looks like 7-9. Hopefully Murphy tells TT it’s time to retire and someone else is running the draft board. Isn’t enough enough already??

The "must-win" was Detroit. The most painful part of this game relative to season status was that it was a home game. If you're going to lose, lose to an AFC team like Baltimore, not to an NFC team like Detroit (or New Orleans).

I think Mike McCrathy has to explain a few things to Brett Hundley:

1. When he get the ball from center, he must throw the ball to the free player;
2. when throwing the ball to the player, that player must be from his team;
3. Throwing balls to the field where there is no one, and the ball fall on the field is not completition, but intentional grounding;
4. running from the pocket is not the idea of the game;
5. If he loves the ball so much, let him buy one for himself ...

That's what I saw today ...

And hats off for Packers D!

What became obvious today (if not before) is that it doesn't matter what anyone tells Hundley. When the pressure is on he can't process and either freezes or panic throws. No amount of arm can make an NFL quarterback unless there is a brain capable of operating it. These types often look great in practice without the pressure or unpredictability. The key is, now that this is clear, will McCarthy face up to it and move on?

Hundley practicing against Capers' defense is probably quite the epic battle. Both sides do enough to convince the coaches that they are getting in meaningful work that shows they are improving. But in reality it is the resistible object vs the movable force.

We needed some humor croatpackfan, your post reminded me of Max McGee describing Lombardi's first address to his team after he was hired, Vince held up a football and said, "this is a football", Max said, "don't go so fast coach". I remember the last shut out at home vs the Pat's, that was 35-0 and it was during "Spy Gate", Favre went down and Rodgers came in for the first time but believe me sitting there we all looked at each other and said, "they know every play that is coming". I don't know if "Deflate Gate" was real or not but SPY GATE WAS REAL. Thats what makes this shutout so bad, there are no excuses for this level of offensive play, none.

Actually, what we saw today was largely a result wrought singlehandedly. A rare event where one man pretty much completely drove the outcome despite the best efforts of those around him on both sides of the ball. That is how historically bad Hundley was today.

Defensive Performance: I'm Still not happy with it! The Ravens came right out in the 2nd half, and drove the field. They set the tone for the second half. The Ravens defense finished the job. Sorry but the Ravens were in control of this game, and they knew it. The Packers were one play away from being blown out. And Hundley supplied that later too. TT, Capers, and even MM better find some answers. MM has become desperate! The Packers are giving up the fight.

The Raven's offense stank. Our D was pretty much out there all the time and they still struggled to score even with short or even almost non-existent fields.

That said, I agree the Ravens thought they were in control: did anyone believe that the Packers were likely to score after the first drive? That is the Hundley effect.

I believe todays issues are the result of poor draft and development. Poor coaching, especially special teams. No returns for anything this year,blocked kicks, bad snaps,long returns by opponents. Poor game planning. It's easy to plan for an opponent you see twice per season but not so much for an opponent you rarely see. Lack of accountability from the top down to the players on the field. Look how the players who've left recently are doing.

Without disagreeing that there may be other issues, today was the product of one of the worst individual performances in ages. Nothing anyone else did on the team could materially change the impact of Hundley on today's game for good or bad. It is rare that one player can transcend a team game to such an extent, but Hundley managed it today. I feel sorry for him as an individual, but it is simply the truth. I personally do not think the traits shown today can be overcome. I wish him well in other walks of life.

The first 3 plays Sprigg's could not even lay a hand on the defender, he makes Marshall Newhouse look like 'Forrest Gregg. The Packers traded their 2nd pick (57th) and their 4th & 7th picks to move up to a 2nd (48th) for a "swinging gate. Harland tried to excuse him saying he just came off IR but when healthy playing against non starters in the pre-season he looked just like he did today. Too bad Murphy broke his foot, with Bulaga going down he looked like he could be their next solid right tackle going forward and could have used the reps.

I say let's be fair to Hundley. First he led div I in being sacked. Threw a lot of interceptions too not being able to read defenses. 31 count em, 31 GM's did there homework and passed. Ok some did not need a number three guy. Ted took him over other choices.
Lets not blame hundley for being picked up by the pack. They choose him. You get what you get.

It was a lot of pack fans that expected him to be the next coming and a real find. So dont blame him for being what he is.
