The game by the numbers

[Anthony]

So the numbers

Carson great game 17 for 83 4.9 ypc and a td
Penny another great game 8 for 46 5.8 ypc
David 4 for 26 6,5 ypc and another 24 in the air for 5o total
Wilson was 2 for 20 till the the 3 neal downs so ended 5 for 17

Lockett 5 for 71
Moore 4 for 57
Doug 7 for 52 and a td
Dickson 1 for 1 15 and a TDm he has 4 rec and 2 tds LOL

Wagner 9 tackles
Clark 2 sacks and 4 tackles

Dickson avg 52 yards per punt

Wilson
21/31 68% complt, 225 yards, 7.3 ypa, 2 tds 110.3 qb rating

Pass plays 31
Run plays 35

we held the ball 34 minutes, 378 total yards more than GB. we did loose the TO battle 1-0 but were able to make it up. Penalties were hard at first especially given most of ours we false starts but evened out at the end

This distribution of the run-pass works much better and is good as long as we sprinkle It out through the game not just wait to the 4th qtr like last week.

Great game.

Well, now that you've had a chance to sober up, let's look at the glass half empty version:

Our offense in the first 3 quarters included 4 three-and-outs (we lead the league in that category) and a fumble. Russell misfired on at least 3 unhurried passing attempts. 5 false start penalties. The Pack missed a makeable FG.

In the 2nd half, the Packers mismanaged their timeouts, leaving them with just one in the last 10 minutes, which is probably why they didn't challenge a critical call that almost certainly would have been overturned...a 34 yard completion to Lockett that set up our game winning TD.

The Packers, with their one lonely timeout, took the ball out of Aaron Rodgers hands and punted on 4th and 2 with 4:20 left in the game, giving it back to the #1 rushing offense in the league that needed just one first down to seal the win. There's a lot of MMQB cheeseheads talking about that decision. Mike McCarthy could be on the hot seat by the end of the season.

This was a team that has yet to win a road game and will not be in the playoffs. We're going to have to play much more consistent football if we are to beat a playoff quality Panthers team on the road next week and get back into the playoff hunt.

Naw, you got that covered pretty well.

For myself this season is moving along pretty much as expected, I'll enjoy the highs as they come, there a plenty of lows to wallow in as they happen.

Season will most likely end with glass half full version. 6 games left and 3 quality opponents all in the playof hunt. Looks like an 8-8 season, unless the Hawks surprise someone. Logic says 8-8, but one never knows. In order to finish above .500 Russell and the offense have to be spot on for the remainder of the season. Shootouts are not the specialty of this offense. The defense is learning, but the curve gets dangerously steep from here to the end, so the offense has to be near perfect. Don’t think that’s gonna happen, but I’m always game for a good surprise.

No doubt the running game has been solid. But, at some point the run will be bottled up and Seattle will have to rely on the passing game. As you know, this is where it becomes very sketchy.....
