The extra protection in the rules that the offensive guys now get kind of skews it, too. Its hard to put up those kinds of numbers when the guy catching the ball is going to get flattened by Ronnie Lott or Chuck Cecil one step after catching it.
As for me being salty, yeah I am. But its mostly at McCarthy. He is the worst coach ever to win a superbowl. Unfortunately, getting really lucky one year will let him and Teddy the Ghost Thompson keep their jobs no matter what happens. We will win our division and then be one and done, as usual. Martyball 4 life! As someone who watched the entire Favre era, this is looking a lot like a repeat where we get in once and then ride the mediocrity train all the way down, except Favre actually made it to two superbowls.
But seriously, I get being flustered after the non call for PI, but only a neckbeard retard playing Madden goes for it on 4th and 5 at midfield with the game close, let alone in a lopsided venue like Seattle. But then when you KNOW the fucking play clock did not get wound, you don't call time out and sort it out with the refs? Total fucking amateur hour. He threw the whole game away right there. Plus we're popping off five yards a run even though we lost our starting center and guard, but lets not do that more than twice a drive and throw every fucking down instead, because fuck it Rodgers will save my fat ass. Except when he doesn't, because the Hawks actually HAVE a secondary, unlike the dead weight in our own division.
I am not mad about the loss itself. I expected to lose (I thought 13-19 score was likely) in that situation. What I am mad about is the poor choices our head coach continues to make where he makes Andy Reid's clock management look good in comparison. This is just another slow start that will end in us winning the division by default and scrubbing out in the playoffs. This team will never see another Superbowl appearance under this coach and GM. We were lucky beyond belief to get the one we did.
