Game 1: Packers @ Vikings - Sunday, September 13th, Noon

0 for 3 in the red zone (td %) again. Is this just something to expect out of a MLF type system and scheme?

Now let’s go get our FG and get the lead back!

 

Made me laugh.

 

It'd be funnier if it wasn't also true.

I think we were pretty good on red zone efficiency last year

#Packers were actually pretty good at converting red-zone trips into touchdowns last season, ranking second in the NFL with a 67% clip last season.

 

They're 0-for-3 converting red zone trips into TDs today. Only six points in three red-zone trips. Not what you want.

They were 8th in the NFL last year.

I like seeing the Vikings coming out passing. Good job D.

Broadcast had 64% and 8th in NFL.

The Vikings are not even attempting to run now.

Rocket science it ain't.

[wildcat83]

Time of possession getting real lopsided. Maybe Vikings D will wear down being first live action and playing a ton of snaps.

3 red zone trips, 6 points. SMH.

I know they ended up pretty decent. Edge of the top 25% of teams in the league. Just seems early season, they had the same struggles. Wonder what it was through the first 6 games last year.

[OldHeidelberg]

Well that makes you feel better about going for it on 4th

 

I agree with going for it on 4th and goal from the 1.

 

I don't agree with having 2nd and goal at the 1 and never once in 3 plays using the bruising 250 pound back for the exact sole situation that you invested a 2nd round pick in him for.

 

I knew they would go for it, over the years that has evolved into the default call when 4th and goal at the 1. I wish coaches had a better feel for it though, sometimes you can just feel the momentum shift on the previous downs. I don't know why Dillon is not in there but Jones is pretty good at the goal line.

Bruiser looked good on that first carry.

[homer]

Trubisky is still horrible

[adambr2]

Rodgers a QB sneak on 4th and short? What a concept!

[yourout]

Trubisky is still horrible

In this case consistency is a good thing.

[adambr2]

Trubisky is still horrible

 

It's hilarious that the Bears' big offseason acquisition is a guy who couldn't even beat out Mitchell Trubisky for a job. They payed a draft pick and a lot of money to buy their bad player a worse backup. That is literally what they did.

I think we should add it to the red zone play book.

[wildcat83]

Taylor only 1 carry for Indy right now too. Hines and Mack getting early work

[adambr2]

Milk that clock, let's go into the half no worse than 11-7.

Mack was carted off. Taylor might be the guy now.

Well or just score is fine.

[homer]

The solution to red zone scoring issues is to just score from outside the red zone.

[adambr2]

We're going to lose another TD to review. Sweet.

[yourout]

That's really close.
