2012-13 NFL Week 6: D A L L A S

[Xajii]

Yeah p. much what Rhinox said. If anyone else thinks that's a legal hit then speak up, but that really doesn't look like one to me.

Done with Favre by 2005? Yeesh. Were you surprised by how well he did in Minnesota?

[Rhinox]

Hey, we should still be in the Big-10 championship.

Oh and we already humiliated the BEARS once already lol.

Look I get it. you're still salty.


You can still have fun stat watching Arod even if it meaningless.


6 draft picks in last years draft on the defensive side of the ball yet the Packs defense is almost as bad.

[Rhinox]

I'm sorry thats not fair.

It's not fair to judge the packers defense by the incredibly high standard the Bears defense sets for the rest of the league.

[Xajii]

Eh... I'm honestly impressed with how the Pack defense has been doing. Last week not so much, but compared to last year, they've performed fine. It's going to take more than 6 draft picks to improve a squad with that many holes, considering at least half of the picks will probably be busts.

There's just something off with the overall team. Coaching, play calling. Also, perfect example of a QB who needs a strong o-line to perform. I wish Brady's line would start sucking like Rodgers' has.

Below Average defense. like I said they're not as bad as last year but still below average


also 2009 Arod put up MVP type numbers even while being the most sacked QB that season. He generally preforms well under duress. Can't use his O-line as a crutch

[archibaldcrane]

Last year, GB's defense was ranked 25th in the league by football outsiders. This year they're 12th through 5 games. Their offense has fallen from 1st to 6th. Losing Greg Jennings hasn't helped. A team with a #6 offense and a #12 defense should be better than 2-3. Everyone knows why they aren't 3-2. While Houston will likely be the toughest regular season game of the year and we could easily fall to 2-4, I still have confidence in making the playoffs.*

Spoiler: show

barring even more refball

[archibaldcrane]

And seriously, 2012 Rodgers has a passer rating this season that is better than every other QB's career total in history, and he was the leading rusher in two of the five games they've played so far. Yeah, it's a dropoff from last year, but it's hilarious that his dropoff is better than any other QB in history's average.

[Xajii]

They certainly don't look like the 6th offense or 12th defense. Those numbers don't mean shit. In the top 5 offense according to that metric: Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints, Detroit Lions

[Cail]

WR A.J. Green became the first receiver in NFL history to have over 100 receptions, 1,500 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns in his first 20 games

Jesus christ, could you be a dumber football fan?

By DVOA, the Chiefs are 30th in offense, the Saints 11th, the Lions 6th.

Was confused because Packers aren't ranked 6th as you said anywhere. Fair point, the DVOA scores are higher than the team's record implies, but this is also true for Miami and even STL. That doesn't automatically scream "refball". I'll give you the one win, of course. 3-2 sounds about right

Still, here's the problem I see: only half games. Terrible first half versus Seattle. Terrible second half versus the Colts. It's something that can be patched up, but it's not something I'm used to seeing from that team. Having the stats doesn't mean you deserve the wins.

It isn't an easy road ahead for GB, so I would be surprised to see them make the playoffs. Two against a hot Vikings squad, Houston next week, a rematch with the Bears. After the collapse against the Colts, it's kind of hard to count out a few others as possible losses. I'd say 10-6, potential wild card. Parity in the NFC is wild this year.

[archibaldcrane]

My bad, GB is 5th in offense.

BG NFL: using obscure numbers used by absolutely no one inside of football.

[Rhinox]

hey guys remember that QBR?

that thing sure catched on didn't it?

[archibaldcrane]

BG NFL: using obscure numbers used by absolutely no one inside of football.

People inside of football believe the Packers defense last year was the worst of all time.

People inside of football are the ultimate dffs.

[archibaldcrane]

Try your best not to be like them please.

But they were

[Rhinox]

But I'm sure you're gonna pull out a random stat by Football Outsiders

Oh man they're the Football outsiders! they answer to no one!

[archibaldcrane]

But then again you think their D sucks this year even after sacking Cutler 7 times, intercepting him 4 times and holding the BEARS to 10 points, so you may already be beyond saving.

[archibaldcrane]

But they were

Lol
