It was an ugly win due to poor, predictable coaching on the O. According to Smitty, his TD was something he, AJ, and Hurts schemed up. AJ should have drawn a DPI. GB has a good D, still no reason over this season for not being able to scheme AJ open. With the emphasis on ball safety, Hurts is not going to throw as many contested throws, where AJ excels when he's being used for more than a blocker or decoy. It used to be screens behind the LOS on long ydg drove me nuts. Now it's predicted runs up the gut.

Stinks it’s come to this..but feels like it’s going to be up to the players

For a former TE it’s really surprising how you don’t recognize or understand expectations on any route running. That wasn’t an Out Route. Why would you think it was?

Maybe I missed something but where did he say it was an out route?

Speaking of out routes with the Pack sitting on the out routes i have to wonder why the Eagles didn't call an out and go

I was simply saying the play calls were too predictable and non-aggressive. If the D knows ( heck, we all knew ) we were going to run it up the gut on 3rd and 11, they kept bringing the safety up and stopping that play. Patullo could have used that, repeatedly played it safe instead, giving up on the drive.

You are correct. I’ll update the spread sheet and repost.

I mean...the players play the game. Make better decisions, throws and don't fumble and it gets much easier

Play calls were not the reason Mailata slipped, Fred Johnson completely missed his blocking, Hurts fumbled or made any bad throws. Play calling was fine. Head coaching, game decisions at the end were questionable...and I think dumb. But players need to execute. Both offenses had issues with their players last night. Green Bay has the great O mind...doesn't mean squat when the players mess up

Except that could easily be a pick 6 if that defender catches the ball. I'm not a fan of throwing through the defense

Just bad play calling when you call for your player to slip.

Well neither team wanted to score because according to Ham that was the game plan ,so you have to be creative with your pre planned errors LOL

Never did, but it will reported I did into the year 2029 🤣 and could possibly follow me into the afterlife. At the pearly gates he will say "OH you ALMOST made it in, except when you called that out route" Then I will go to hell serving eternity as a Browns fan

Play calls are definitely a major part of the issue, have been all season. Waiting for a game where the plays are on the jumbotron before we execute them. Running up the gut not working, let's run it more - the very definition of insanity. I want a play caller that sees the problem and finds a creative solution, like involving our other weapons from the same formation once the D bites. Reality - what a concept - Robin Williams.

So Mailata slipped, Fred Johnson completely whiffed, Hurts fumbled and made bad throws because of the play calling?

SO what do you do when nothing is working? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I know I don't function as well at 20 degrees in a crosswind as I do at 80 with a breeze. It was the first cold/windy game. IDK that alot of risk was in order. Ball is like a brick at that temp. We saw the wind affect both QB's. I WAS hoping for some cheap, quick short stuff in the middle of the field . I saw they were vulnerable there over their LB's like to Ship or Geodert. We did a few after the 1/2. Could have done that more IMO . We don't do crossing routes which is easy grabs for most WR's so SMH but taking the W anyway

TBH I can't even tell you who was in the slot. I didn't notice because there were no balls thrown to him? I assume it was Dotson, but if you cornered me I couldn't tell you

If they're bringing in the S, it leaves someone or somewhere open. A good OC would take advantage of that.

pointing to last night's slips and falls, cold weather and false starts doesn't explain away the fact that they are ranked 23rd offensively to this point.

it's a combo of everything that could go wrong, going wrong.

• injuries

• playcalling

• execution (yes @cunninghamtheman, that includes hurts)

again though, they are 7-2, not 2-7. the record can't be ignored.

The Eagles are the first team to hold the Packers to seven or fewer points at Lambeau since 2018.

I think we got lucky as they kept shooting themselves in the foot(we just did that a little less)

at the end of the day, i'll take ugly the wins, especially on 2/8/26. 🫡

Regarding Hurts’ fumble last night, there are fumbles, and there are bad fumbles. Do you think his fumble last night was a bad fumble?

Fumble in the red zone is a bad fumble. Watching the play, I thought he went to the wrong side of Toth....who was pushing the block right, if he goes to Toth's left there were more yards to get... the defender (the 2nd one who was there on the right) made a very nice play on the ball. He wouldn’t have been there if Hurts went left. Also you could argue he should have had 2 hands on the ball and fell on his back or left shoulder instead of reaching his left hand out to break the fall.

It's a bad time to fumble...great play by D that Hurts could have done a couple things differently to avoid. Game is much easier from the sidelines without 11 guys looking to kill you...so only so much criticism we can give. But I dis think his error was not following the block correctly to avoid the defenders who made the play

Another thing... regardless of it being a " bad" fumble... the bigger thing, it was an excellent play call.

No but it does highlight a lot of what went wrong for us last night.

1st drive what like 17 plays and we are driving the ball should have walked away with some kind of points if not for the fumble that killed the drive.

2nd drive mailata slips resulting in a loss of yards then next play Saquon slips after catching a screen. The give up draw run to Shipley though I don’t understand and we did this numerous times put the ball in Hurts hands give one of our WRs a chance.

4th drive Mailata false starts puts us in a hole then we have a 21 yard Barkley run negated by a hold putting us even more into a hole before eventually having to punt.

End of half we just gave up which would be the areas of this game that I don’t like 23 seconds at least 2 timeouts might have had all three

Mind you we only had 5 drives the entire 1st half if you even want to count the 23 seconds at the end as a 5th drive….. 1st quarter both teams only saw the ball once before it ended.
