NFL 2015 Week 8 |OT| - A Fraud Knows What He Likes
- Thread starter ActStriker
- Start date
We throw around the joke about exposing teams as frauds a lot but this is actually one of the closest examples to that actually happening.
People thought that Green Bay had a good defense because they played shitty offense teams. People expected them to also have a great offense because they have the best QB in the league on their side.

I hope so. Don't want to see the NFC being frauds
lol you're going to run with this phony act all the way into the playoffs aren't you?
Colts have a Staffordesque record this year when it comes to teams not in its own division.

Offensive line played really, really bad. Either they are awful, or good at pretending. Secondary played almost as bad. Ditto.Just tuned in.
*sees score*
GB, why?
The first problem is the most worrying. People complain about injuries, but we're mostly healthy up front. Not a good sign.

The only victory for the Packers tonight is Clay not being seriously injured from that ankle roll.

Fallout 4 so close
Uhh, who?
Anyone that has seen this team play in the last 4 years knows nothing has changed. They play up, they play down, but their median is garbage tier with the hope of winning the turnover battle.
And Rodgers didn't die on the field.

They have a shot at having a legit defense this year. But it all depends on getting the back end sorted out, and it's ugly right now.
The o-line is the really worrying problem, though
Pats OL is more injured then the Packs as far as I know.
The thing is, that the OL doesn't matter as much with the Pats. Those little picks an rubs, slants, quick crossing routes, and dump offs and forced mismatches with Gronk are hard to defend. The ball gets out so fast, that it negates the pass rush as well as the power of the secondary being able to consistently cover.
It's not going to be easy.
I think if you actually watch football you would know it could've gone this way
never been great against line pressure, offense hasn't been clicking for weeks, injured defense stuck on the field

Could have been 29-0 without the penalties.

He's not wrong. The Pats focus on quick, short passes. That can negate even a great pass rush. Even though their OL is inexperienced, they are not bad. Brady has shown blitzing him is almost always a bad idea. The better bet would be to rush less (especially since Ware and Miller can almost put people on a swivel all on their own) and play zone, but having seen Wade-led defenses against Brady before the results have not been very good...
We'll see. The game is not in Lambeau, which might bode well for the Broncos this time around.

Can't flex until week 10.
EDIT: Wait, no, you can only flex two games between 5-10. They're not flexing an NFC East game though.
Well if it looked like the chargers game after green bay id be worried.....

Week 5
I don't see it happening this year. At season's end I expect them to be graded out in the 20-32 spot. That doesn't mean the team can't succeed with that, but I don't think they're a 'good' defense.
Defensive Bright Spots: DT Raji, SS Burnett, OLB Perry are all returning form injury, probably not in the best playing condition for Denver. Rookie CBs gain some much needed experience playing against someone like Peyton. The D Line plays well for the most part.
Defensive Dark Hole: Hayward isn't a very good cover corner and doesn't seem to be turning the corner. The depth behind Matthews at ILB is passable so far; they look small and get pushed around. Terrible coverage in the middle of the field.
No...

Rodgers had 77 yards? HAHAHAHA.
How the hell from such an elite qb? Jamarcus Russell would've had more yards.
