GB obrana je skočila s prošlogodišnjeg 27.mjesta na 7.mjesto ove sezone. Hafley je bez dvojbe uspjeh i dobar trener, ali call koji je pozvao na zadnjem playu protiv Bearsa je najgori koji sam ikad vidio. Uvjerljivo. 

A pass rush, odnosno ovakav očaj od pass rusha mi je totalna enigma, nitko ne može dobit nikog 1 na 1. Platilo ekipu i ko u Space Jamu.

Neda mi se sad izvlačiti sve playoff ekipe, ali slična situacija bi trebala biti s svima. Ove sezone je bilo 16/16 ekipe s pozitivnim/negativnim rekordom, s tim da je jedno 12,13 momčadi bilo baš loše - većina do 5 pobjeda, još par 6,7.

Baš se prepolovila liga ove sezone. 

Njemu je vjerojatno izbor Briana Thomasa Jr. spasio posao na kraju.

Baš su čudni Packersi ovu sezonu po svemu bi trebali bit elita, ali oni to jednostavno nisu, nešto tu fali, a uz to kad dodaš kraj sezone za Jairea i Watsona nisam baš optimist...

The Packers finished the regular season ranked in the top 10 of NFL teams in points per game scored (27.1, 8th), points per game allowed (19.9, 6th), yards gained per play (6.1, 5th), yards allowed per play (5.2, 8th), takeaways (31, 4th), sacks (45, 8th), sacks allowed (22, 2nd), rushing yards (2,496, 5th), rushing yards allowed (1,689, 7th), yards per rushing attempt (4.7, 7th), yards per rushing attempt allowed (4.0, 3rd), passer rating (99.8, 10th), passer rating against (88.5, 9th), average net yards per attempt (7.7, 4th), touchdowns scored (52, 8th), red zone touchdown percentage (59.4, 10th), drives resulting in scores percentage (45.9, 6th) and interceptions (17, 3rd).

By DVOA, or value adjusted for opponent, the Packers rank third overall — including fourth on offense, seventh on defense and 15th on special teams.

By EPA per play, or expected points added per play, the Packers exist in the upper right quadrant of the team tiers — meaning they are among the best on both offense and defense after 18 weeks. The Packers rank eighth in EPA per play on offense and fourth in EPA per play on defense.

Zapravo ima jednostavan odgovor zašto nisu elita do kraja na obje strane

Napad je 1. u ligi po dropovima, na što se direktno nadovezuje da je Love 31. po completition percentageu iako je TOP 5 po svemu drugome unatoč ozljedama većinu sezone

Obrana - kriminal od pass rusha

Kad poklope utakmicu bez ovoga, kao Seattle, Arizona, SF.... igraju i izgledaju elitno

Kad ovo zašteka blizu su, ali nedovoljno da dobe elitnu ekipu

They massively benefit the home team and are involved in so many game deciding controversial calls that they weren't expected to be allowed to officiate these playoffs.

Frequency of Penalties: Above Average Penalties on Road Teams: Brad Allen's crew has historically called an above-average rate of penalties on road teams. This tendency was notably observed in games where there was a significant disparity in penalties called between home and away teams.

Penalty Trends: Home Team Performance: Since 2016, home teams officiated by Allen's crew have a 74-53-1 record on the moneyline and a 69-56-3 record against the spread (ATS).

Penalty Frequency: In the 2024 season, Allen's crew averaged 10.78 penalties per game, ranking among the higher end of officiating crews in terms of penalty calls.

Impact on Game Outcomes: Game-Deciding Moments: Allen's crew has been involved in several games where officiating decisions in the final moments significantly affected the result. This includes both offensive and defensive penalties that were either missed or incorrectly called.

Downgrading and Demotion: Due to these high-profile errors, there was an announcement that Brad Allen's crew would be downgraded and potentially excluded from officiating playoff games in 2024, indicating league acknowledgment of the issues with this crew's performance.

Lipo, lipo, lipo

Titansi otpustili GMa

Očito su shvatili da je otpuštanje Vrabela bila greška...

Zanimljivo.
