First I haven't seen you around here until two or three weeks ago. Secondly you have no idea what I know and don't know since you don't know me. Third I know Grant Paulsen's background and lastly if you don't believe me then maybe you'll agree with Chris Baker:
The Redskins lost to Green Bay 35-18, so one call wasn’t going to make or break the outcome. But it was a series in which the Packers started to generate offensive momentum. They had been forced to punt on three consecutive possessions before using more up-tempo offense – and before catching the Redskins with 12 men on the field.
Rodgers actually did this twice on the same drive, forcing Washington to alter its defensive strategy and preventing the Redskins from subbing more.
“That tempo messed up our defensive strategy,” Redskins end Chris Baker said. “We had to stick with our nickel so we didn’t get caught in bad passing situations.”
I am sure someone said this same thing a couple of days ago in thread on here. Now I am betting you will argue with Baker also and that is fine. I am arguing with a guy that thinks there is a "dink and dunk offense" and that is really sad on my part.
I'll stand on my point that Barry doesn't deserve to be fired after one year. That was your original thread.![]()
I'm not sure how long I've been here has anything to do with this issue. If you'd like to know, I've been on these boards months before and took a hiatus until now. Pretty puzzling how this has any bearing on what we're talking about.
As for Baker, he's not saying anything that differs with what I've said. My main point here is that Barry got outcoached when he failed to do zip when Rodgers took over. I can understand if Rodgers caught him off guard on one drive. But Rodgers smartly kept pressing the strategy to see if Barry responded, which he didn't. Countless commentators, pundits and, in particular, Packers beat reporters noted before the game how to deal with Rodgers even before he started his small ball game. Somehow, this all seems to elude you. Good thing you don't argue for a living.
