Post game Packers

Great all-around win. I'm slightly concerned about our rushing defense still in the fact it seems like the other teams get 0 yards or 12. I'd love to see them be a little more consistent in that. Overall, defense is vastly improved...

For all the questions about Doctson, does anyone else feel like the balls throw to him seem really inaccurate? Like, it's almost where it's just bad luck or something. It's like Smith seems accurate to everyone else and then throws a little bit out of reach of Doctson. Maybe he needs to start sacrificing enough to Jobu?

Did anyone else watch the Colts/Eagles game? Just wondered if their defensive line worked the Eagles like they did ours? Really trying to nail down how that all happened and hope it was just a scheme thing.

Another point to support Kerrigan: Scheme. I would wager with Allen, Payne and Matt I, the scheme for the week called for him to keep a gimpy Rodgers in the pocket. I think it worked for the most part.

The PI and defensive holding penalties all seemed like pretty fair calls. That to me is a good offense making its own luck. You could look at those as forced penalties.

When you look at the raw stats, you think Washington did great against the pass but struggled to stop the run. So far this season, teams have had more success on the ground than many predicted. But you have to put it all in context: By playing lighter in the box, Washington is challenging the opposing offense to try to push around its defensive linemen and linebackers to take advantage. And for the most part, the front seven is holding up so well that Washington doesn’t have to bring a safety forward. It helps the team allow fewer explosive plays in the passing game. The trade-off is a few more rushing yards, but not enough for it to matter.

MalcomConnection -- This is a great article about the rush D. Makes sense, we finally have big studs on DL / front 7 so we don't need to sacrifice secondary into the box. So if we wanted to stop the run, we could load up the box, but if we want to primarily stop the pass (on Rodgers and all the elite passers coming in) - we just go "light" in the box. Hope it continues, we have a string of QB studs coming in soon..

They played the eagles tough all game, made wentz look bad at times. Grades aren't up yet but the Colts D is much improved from last yr.

Im into some stats today...total QBR for the season:

Alex at a very respectable 10

Cousins 14

Eli 19

Dak at a very garbage 28

Jimmy G was terrible before his injury ranking 30 in the league right behind Bradford who was ranked 29.

You know whats crazy?

Baker Mayfield had the second highest QBR performance of the year with his comeback vs the Jets. had a 95.5 QBR for his play in that game.

Ahh, excellent, thanks!

Good to know. And the Eagles offensive line is no joke either...

How about some love for Bergstrom?
No botched snaps and didn't get exposed out there.
