Concussions made him stupid for picking his running lanes. I'm hoping coaching can solve the problem over time because we'll need him more and more as winter sets in....theoretically. We won a Super Bowl with "falls forward" so maybe we don't?
We also played three abysmal games against some really good D-Lines. Bears have a garbage defense and he still only put up 60 yards though.
Basically to answer your question, maybe? Maybe not? I don't see him getting more than 100 yards a game from here on out though.

So I guess the whole Eddie Lacy/Rollout fad is over now.

The player stuff, sure. But what about the stuff before the season about Lurie thinking he can get anybody to coach this team to a good record or the interest from team x y and z? Doubt that came from Crabs too.
Oh, that stuff I definitely buy, but that's contract issue stuff. Players only cry about music and cards when they are losing.
We need him to start punching DBs in the head during practice. Then I'll feel ok.

Harbaugh will not be in San Francisco in 2016, and at this point I don't think that's a shocking or false statement to make

Supposedly our coaches are lazier than the players so we'll never have to worry about any of this!
I imagine Rodgers basically conducting the entire practice for the offense.
Defense just goes out for ice cream instead.

Hey man, I was on the KB bandwagon as well, but that's cause I'm a homer :jnc He should have 5 TDs already. Almost had a TD in the Lions game, just barely couldn't get two feet in bounds, and the same thing yesterday in the 3rd Q vs the Ravens.
He's currently on pace for 84 rec, 1,316 yards, and 12 TDs. Probably won't hit those numbers, but I definitely think he'll get 1,000+ yards and 8 TDs at least.

When it comes to a good milkshake the seperation is in the preperation.
So is there some point to it?
This was my feeling as well. It's a weirdly similar scenario in that they are similar runners who both had promising rookie seasons, were hyped up as future stud RBs and then totally came crashing back down to earth in year two.

Yeah that wasn't directed at you, just reminded me of that exchange from a few weeks ago. Great draft pick for the Panthers. Imagine if they still had Steve Smith too.
Thank God the Packers didn't use a high draft pick on him!
The comparison is pretty dumb because Richardson is a Huge Bust not because he is a bad running back but because he was picked 3rd overall (and then was traded for another first!). Lacy went at the end of the second round.
As glorious as that TD throw was, ref made the right call. If the tackle doesn't hold, Rodgers is easily sacked.
Still though, that throw is what dreams are made of.
Also, just a thought about Smitty, but people were always talking about how besides Muhsin Muhammad, the Panthers could never find a #2 WR to compliment him, regardless of who we drafted/signed (Keyshawn, LaFell, Keary Colbert, Dwayne Jarrett, etc)...but maybe it has more do with Smith? Take a look at Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones numbers alongside Smitty:
S. Smith: 25 rec, 429 yds, 3 TDs
T. Smith: 8 rec, 138 yds, 1 TD
J. Jones: 3 rec, 20 yds
Smitty's got nearly twice as many targets (41) as Torrey does (22). I think Smitty might have had more to do with not having a #2 WR than vice versa...

but in fairness, jacoby jones sucks.
What a shit head, getting open all the time like that.
Hey, who knows, maybe Torrey Smith has fallen off (I admit Jacoby is trash). But it is interesting to see a guy who used to be Flacco's best target, a guy who has never put up less than 800 yards in a season (841 (7 TDs), 855 (8 TDs), 1,128 (4 TDs)) suddenly on pace to have only 550 yards this season.
Just interesting to note IMO.
This is true. I was referring more to fantasy. Both guys were first round picks going into their second years and both have so far been busts ever since.
But yeah, in real football, Green Bay's investment in Lacy isn't as high as Cleveland's was in Richardson. Of course, Richardson's bust factor was mitigated by the Browns a bit, thanks to the trade. Not sure Green Bay would be able to get much of anything for Lacy right now.
At least your defense is still alive!
We fucking brought James Harrison out of retirement last week!
Speaking of coaches, my coach is a fraud too!

Still waiting for Dennis Allen to be fired.
Keep waiting, him and the other 2 stooges are still hanging out in London.

Oof RT @APtcollins: My sources tell me that @RAIDERS head coach Dennis Allen is fired and an announcement could come as soon as Tuesday
3 of the five graded positive in the run game per PFF. Linsley had a really bad game but Bulaga, Lang and Sitton play well, Sitton specifically.
Like me, PFF puts most of the blame squarely on Lacy, though unlike last week he shares it a bit with Linsley.

Torrey smith is Mike Wallace 2.0 - 1 route body catcher. Same with Jones.
Smith gets the targets because he's more versatile than both those 2 put together and multiplied by 10.

Rough start to the season for you guys. Sorry, man.
So I guess it'll be Sparano until the end of the year? Oh boy.
Oh no. Two rookie linemen making their first starts on Monday Night Football at Arrowhead, against Dontari Poe, Justin Houston, and Tamba Hali. And Fleming was a college tackle who took his first snaps at guard last Wednesday. I guess it can't be worse than what they had before, right? Right?

RIP Brady
ESPN is saying he's only at 329 yards, weird.
Or are you still applying that Reggie Bush "he would have gotten these yards if these imaginary games were played" logic?

We should've hired Idzik
If Bulaga can stay healthy for an extended period of time we could build some much needed consistency on that O Line. I only got to watch the fourth quarter, but was this a better Defensive effort or was it more of Rodgers carrying the team on his shoulders. If it's more the latter, we can't expect that week in and week out. And from what I've heard it was pretty tight the first half and the Bears shot themselves in the foot in addition to Aaron playing out of his mind.

Wallace has 246 yards and 3 TD's this season and none of that has been from a 9 route. He's become a much better route runner simply because of how quick he is.
That said, he's still bad at catching in traffic and he's way overpaid.
His TD yesterday was pretty nice.

And trade for Foles
Idzik might not have a job ever in the NFL after this season.
If he came out and said he is foced on the future instead of this season maybe he could sell his moves but this team is too talented to tank.
Is it though? Can't do much with no cornerbacks, a crappy QB, and a bad receiving corps.

He would be a huge upgrade of what you have had this year. Let you guys have him for a 1st, deal?
I wouldn't mind having him on the Steelers.
We need a deep threat. Add him to Brown, Miller and Bell and our offense would be insane.

Best part is the Dom Capers style afternoon nap after lunch and ice cream too.
Well maybe Omar Epps is the coach now?
Don't forget we brought Ahman Green back from the dead not too long ago. It happens...
Brown is fucking going off this year.
Falcons defense=558 yards offense led by a rookie QB. Injuries meant a TE was starting at RG.
We're doomed. Might as well start the reset this year. Mr. Nolan is going backwards. Mr. Smith doesn't have a clue these days. The GM has been resting on his laurels the last 5 years.
