Huge part of problem? Except he wasn't last two minutes?
Doesn't make sense.
Where did the running game go? Why did the d allow multiple long scoring drives. Not only wearing them out but allowing points? Allowing 4th down conversions. Some times stopping them.
Losing is a team problem. Russ could do better hitting open recievers. Let's some balls sail yes. But how does the conclusion he is broken solve anything when he can drive the field in less than two minutes?
It doesn't. On that drive he converted multiple short passes. Multiple sideline passes. Tell me why we can do that in two minutes but not the entire game?
It's not russ. The entire team is broken. That indicates coaching.
Also, non of this would be point of discussion with onside kick not being a illegal formation. Or Collins fumble on a hell of a drive. Or multiple pressures on russ. Or having no run game.
Okay, what about Wilson having the worst third down conversion in the NFL? You do realize that under the same exact circumstances, Geno Smith had a much higher third down conversion rate, right? I don't care about what Wilson does on onedrive, he was a liability the whole game. He should have been picked off several times, he missed open receivers and hasn't been seeing open receivers for awhile now. He's not playing good football. Refer to Kurt Warner's analysis and then look at Keasley's posts if you want more in depth examples with screenshots of Russ struggling with the same concepts that Warner was mentioning in his analysis.
This stuff has been an ongoing theme, now with his throwing hand screwed up, i don't think he should be out there. I think he is a good QB, but for the last year he's been pressing and now with his hand being screwed up he's just a liability rather than an asset. You can only shove so much blame onto Waldron and Pete, they're not part of the solution,. but right now Wilson is every bit as culpable as they are.
Wrong...give me a play...I will dispell your theories again. More going on than russ not making plays. I have already said he is not playing the best. Still far from the problem. He sailed some. Also, had some where recievers didn't run to open spaces like they normally do. See tyler completely turning toward sideline when he had open middle field. Let's forget dk too. Can't rely on him to defeat a one on one deep ball.
Can you tell me why we refused run entire second half? Washington d sure, but stick the run. Choose better run plays. Why was russ consistently pressured? Oh yeah Washington d again. Nothing on oline though. You remain focused on russ. And the reason I bring up the last drive is because it completely negates all your points about open recievers and short/middle.
Worst 3rd down conversion. Tell me why we only pass on third downs. Oh yeah because we don't try to convert on previous downs. I don't care about just 3rd down completion rates. It matters, but only when we don't convert on previous downs. Why are we not converting 10 yard tries on 1st or even second downs?
You mean like the theory that Russ routiunely misses open guys that are BLATANTLY open like Dissly last week and whoever it was eating a sandwhich in the middle of the field alone against the WFT...
Not stepping up in the pocket... thats a theory too?
Or not anticipating Swain coming open in the back of the endzone... theory.
LOL. Why dont we run more? Why didnt we run against GB? Why didnt we run before finally giving the ball to Dallas against AZ last week? Why do we stop running, or for that matter, throwing to the obvious open guy in the short when we only need 6 yards for a first down instead of chucking the ball 40 yards down the sideline?
We dont always pass on 3rd downs. We ran on 3rd down in this game. Russ's rating anyway you cut it is bad. Is that a theory or fact?
Line play wasnt great, but it also isnt helped when the defense shows an obvious blitz, and yet the play isnt changed to a hot read. Over and over again. thats QB to WR communication. thats what Rodgers and whoever his WR do all game. He sees a pressure, communicates to his players what to do, and they beat the play. The defense could literllay put 15 guys on the line and scream that theyre blitzing and Russel will just hike the ball and run the play. Its not a theory. he did it a few times in this game and Kurt Warner pointed it out in his prior reviews and Troy Aikman virtually every game he covers calls out one or two of those. So yeah, theres more going on than Russ? sure. Theres also more going on than just ... the line not playing well... or Waldron calling a crap game - on that one, Russ and Shane hatch the offensive plan. Russ has full control at the line. Its been asked of Pete and Shane and they both said he does. Again, look at the GB game. you think any OC concerned for their job calls 40 passes to 11 runs?
more going on indeed. And the only common denominator on every play, every read, every drop back, every first down success and 3rd down missed pass, scripting the plays for the upcoming week, picking at the line what gets run, what the audibles are, who gets the ball.
Thats one dude. #3
Here's a theory - Russ could set fire to Lumen Field. Be caught on camera doing it. Admit an obsession with combustible things, and you'd still say Pete put him up to it, Waldron framed him, and that it doesnt matter anyway because 'Lumen Field' is a stupid name for a stadium and the fire department could have saved it if only they'd invested in super long hoses. Oh, and that Geno Smith should take the fall.
Its crazy the level of denial going on in here. Sometimes you just have to find a way to laugh at it.
