Stoney's He-Man Steeler Haters NFL Playoff Thread ... No Yinzers allowed

That's what the whole country is thinking . . . two trips to the 1 and no TDs. We'll see how big these turn out to be.

 

It's 6-0. If he goes for it twice the most likely outcome is it is 0-0.

 

No, actually it's not.

 

Actually. I think the numbers disagree strongly with you there. And again even if the miss they have them backed up and a 3-and-outhalf puts them right back in/near field goal range. Again nothing is guaranteed, but this is rediculpusly chicken shit.

They hold Seattles offence they are almost in fg range after the punt.

 

Also something to be said about trying to curb momentum. If Green Bay gets stuffed, they come away with no points, crowd goes bonkers, offensive is further demoralized. It's very delicate. Getting points -- while 6-0 and not, say 17-0 -- still matters.

Seattle has no rhythm on offense yet. Green Bay is wearing down Seattle on defense, especially with the runs. McCarthy is playing "rope a dope" in the first half and it's working.

 

They haven't had a problem running it.

 

Rodgers moved surprisingly well om that one.

 

There's a difference between running it on 1st and 10 from the Seattle 27 and doing it on 4th and goal from the 1.

 

It doesn't matter, it's playing scared. You fail Seattle has the ball on the 1.

 

Take the points early. Take the chances late.

 

Yep.
