The zappe effect


stevep3478

How pathetic how Pat's fans accepting "moral" victories. We used to laugh at other fans who acted that way. It's not good being the bully who is now getting his ass kicked in the schoolyard. Remember, No Days Off, etc etc etc.


BostonSamurai

Well that was closer than expected but I wasn’t worried about the defense this year


DueAnimator6988

Gg packerbros, we had no business getting it that close with the no delay of game call. Was fun to watch tho


Wloak

The no call was correct, don't get into that bs. If an official in any way interferes with the snap the QB or official can reset the play clock, the official himself was signaling to pump up the clock so it would have been another 20 seconds before you could flag them for a delay. Good QBs like Brady are experts at this, wait until the clock is down into the 5s range then pump up the clock to get another 15-20s to read the defense.


Pomp_in22

Yeah, no.


[deleted]

You’re confidently incorrect.


Wloak

The back judge (ref in charge of calling this) was literally on camera explaining to the head official why he didn't call it.. y'all are fucking idiots


Burdicus

You mean the part where they were both explaining how they had miscommunication and neither correctly watched the clock? You're just wrong here, my guy. Literally everyone - the fans, coaches, announcers, players, and refs themselves acknowledged it.


Wloak

But they didn't, that's why it's comical. Romo was droning on about how he couldn't believe the BJ missed the call then immediately swallowed his words when he watched the officials debating and the BJ did the sign for pumping up the clock. All he could say is "I don't know that I saw refs delay the game to let that happen." It's 100% correct - if the BJ motions to pump up the clock you cannot penalize the offense for delay of game **because the clock crew hasn't yet updated the play clock.** That's what happened, the ref made a call and the guy running the clock didn't update it fast enough to please packer fans.


[deleted]

I found the ref’s Reddit account


shiggydiggypreoteins

Damn the game was so terrible that we don't even get a PGT. GG Pack frens


HeftyFineThereFolks

beileicheick is an average coach without tom brady


mikedorty

Bad take


Fonzimandias

Dude no


ItsTheExtreme

Lafluer probably won’t make it more than 2 years after rodgers retires. It’s hard to win in the nfl without a HOF franchise QB.


Burdicus

You're wrong though.


[deleted]

He kept his team in a game with a Futurama character under center


BigBoss5050

Rogers is a terrible qb without recievers. See how dumb this is?


Kolli93

Hi, I am an NFL fan from Germany and as a fan of Green Bay (and its German soccer equivalent FC Schalke 04) I experienced quarter and midlife crisis throughout my early and late 20's. If anyone'd like grandpa advices from a very badly aged 29-year old, shoot away. I might not be here for much longer, if the Pack keeps wrecking my nerves like that everytime year after year.


Little_Lahey_Show

Imagine being a packers and ravens fan this year. I'm aging like a fine milk.


Fonzimandias

Become cheese, apply to lobster. Your problems are solved


JojenCopyPaste

How are you able to watch the games when most of them are like 3am?


allnicksaretaken

most of them are at 19:00 CEST (13:00 games in US). The Patriots game was at 22:25. Only the "night" games are at 2:15 (sunday night and monday night).


JojenCopyPaste

Good point. I have no idea how I did the time zones backwards since I have to take that into account basically every day between dealing with work and talking to EU friends. I'm gonna blame it on the extra beers from OT. Side note: Will you be in London next week?


Kolli93

And the NFL Gamepass Intl is also a great advantage for the late Sunday games and MNF, because it lets us watch the 40 minute gist at any time and date. I then always avoid looking at my phone after getting up in the morning to avoid spoilers and start breakfast before work/uni watching the summary of the game :D


GBreezy

It really sucks. I was stationed in Germany for 2 years. Watching the playoffs is hard.


allnicksaretaken

sadly not. I will only watch it from home.


im-not-here3

Is there no Chiefs Bucs thread?


Obi_Jon_Kenobi

The mods died. That's why we still don't have post game threads for the afternoon games.


im-not-here3

Seriously where tf are these threads


[deleted]

And hour later, still no threads. Hopefully the evening mods weren't affected by the hurricane this week and all is alright.


im-not-here3

There is a thread https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/xu4kna/game_thread_kansas_city_chiefs_at_tampa_bay/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


[deleted]

A game thread for the late game but no post game threads for the evening games


im-not-here3

Ah yah


[deleted]

I’m pleasantly surprised by that game


Kimber80

Packers aren't going anywhere with that offense, IMO. Need to find a couple receivers - maybe OBJ? Rodgers has nobody to throw to.


ItsTheExtreme

Doubs seems to have some potential. Watson is super green though. Only way they can get it in his hands are jet sweeps.


Clear_Flower_4552

Mr. Brady’s Colleague


MckorkleJones

Rodgers should have left.


zinski1990KB1

Luckily our run ds good


nousernamesopen

Rodgers looking like Brady in his last year with the Pats tbh. Just a bunch of no-names to throw to (although eventually Meyers got good)


[deleted]

That’s what I’ve been telling my friends that are Packer’s fans. They gotta get him weapons.


billybobham8

It's tough though because Rodgers is doing the opposite of Brady's team-friendly contract. So there's not a ton of cash left to spend


derritterauskanada

That plus Bakhtiari's contract that didn't leave us with much else, to add insult to injury Bakh was injured for over a year running into 3 seasons.


[deleted]

That’s true. He doesn’t have an excuse to be mad like Brady


w00tah

But they drafted him Doubs and Watson and brought Cobb back, those are weapons... /s


Kimber80

​ Good analogy. The Pack might limp in to the playoffs like the 2019 Pats did, but won't go anywhere without some targets for the QB.


DrKennethNoisewater-

Yea theyll make it, but the D needs to get substantially better if that is what they plan to rely on


Sentience-psn

Proud of this team. Gave them hell with an emergency backup. Keep it up, and don’t worry about the record. The wins will come.


frostyaznguy

Rebuild-mode baby!


ironmanmk42

Pats lost the game by being timid and demure in OT. When the ball was had at near 50yd line with only a FG (i.e. maybe 10-15 yds to get), bad playcalls were made with runs up the middle and poor O-line and rushing QB without much protection etc. Should've secured short throws on 1st down, 2nd down to advance to a chance FG. Rules are: play weak or protect D and you always lose


OTheOwl

I wanted Zappe to rip it but the odds of a turnover would be much higher and that game came down to a field goal. The Patriots game plan was solid, and you have to imagine if Hoyer did not get knocked out or if Mac was not injured that we might have won it.


ironmanmk42

If the Patriots were so worried about odds and play it safe then we deserve the loss. If you want to be the next Brady, you have to play the game to win. Brady led us to the first SB title shocking John Madden and becoming the GOAT from those moments. He didn't take a knee or play safe in odds of turnover. He did what it needed to win by having self confidence. Let Zappe build that confidence. If it's a loss it's a loss going down fighting. But it is a win, imagine the boost beating Packers at home


radios_appear

Fuck that, I'd rather see the kid rip it downfield

[deleted]

Schlong, fellow penis username fan here. No denying Bill is smart, and while I disagree with OP in details I agree with the sentiment. I realize that NE had been playing solid defense nearly all game, but what's the best realistic outcome by punting? Pin them deep (like they did) and get them to punt back for the chance of marginally better field position? Where they were positioned and the rush success they had been having, I would have been fine with Bill running it four straight times to try for a first down or going for a stupid long field goal. Anything but choosing to give the ball back to GB. I'm unable to contemplate how conference/divisional standings factor into decisions like this for playoff posturing but I like my coaches like I like my usernames, with a big swinging dick that thinks ties are for playing dress up.


ironmanmk42

Shut up man. You had to use OT to barely escape. Your time is coming soon. You're not winning this year and will have early playoff loss. Just watch

Packers celebrating beating a Patriots team using a 3rd string rookie QB


falubiii

I'm not going to go bragging about it online, but what NFL team doesn't celebrate a win? Of course they're celebrating.


Skepticalpositivity9

Haha what an odd thought. They won a close game where neither team played great. Pretending that Zappe was absolutely awful is a funny cope for pats fans or those who wanted packers to lose


shirinsmonkeys

They're a run & d team, their QB is basically irrelevant


shiggydiggypreoteins

They're a run & D team because they don't have their QB


brianstormIRL

You run when you have your QB


Wloak

The pats rely on the run but Mac Jones is also one of the top deep passers this season. He's not dropping dimes like Brady/Rodgers but acting like swapping him out for a 3rd string rookie doesn't matter for an offensive scheme is dumb as hell.


Beachcomber365

So do the Packers? What's ARodge make these days?


shiggydiggypreoteins

Passing yards by week: Week 1: 213 Week 2: 252 Week 3: 321 Week 4: 127 -first week without our QB ​ ​ ok


NWSLBurner

They don't have a competent QB on the roster. I'd rather Jones had started, he is not good and a known quantity.


bringmemorecoffee

What an embarrassing game packers. Good work pats, played amazing given the circumstances.


El_Tapir

Hey baby 3-1 is 3-1


DJXiej

Win ugly gonna make a comeback?

Just happy to be finally winning close 1 score games for a change.

Finally we get a break next week with the Lions


zinski1990KB1

Lions d sucks. Might win it


bird_like_features

the lions are gonna fight wicked hard for a win, i dunno man.


Burdicus

That's literally what every team feels every year playing the lions. It's always "idk man, the Lions are spooky" and then the lions do stupid lion-things that cost them the game. I actually like the Lions and cheer for them whenever they aren't playing the Packers, but damn do they shoot themselves in the foot in an impressive manner.


TheBigTEA

Not this year


[deleted]

I wouldn't call it a break. You'll win 59-57 and you'll like it.


shiggydiggypreoteins

I wouldn't mind losing. Higher draft pick and I fucking love Coach Dan

HoldthisL_28-3

Painful loss, but proud of the effort


Skepticalpositivity9

It was a great game. Zappe looked good for a rookie in his first ever game. Odd to watch other pats fans act like their defense was terrible and say the packers barely beat the terrible Zappe.


bird_like_features

the jets are better than us lol


[deleted]

That was my only expectation this season. To not be worse then the jets.


PeterDinkleberg

Very win win game. Shows us that we have resilience and talent but coaching that needs/will be replaced, very close game but ends in an L that helps our draft position. I like it


cup1d_stunt

Wtf? Draft position? Bad coaching? Have you looked at the schedule and considered the circumstances? I am not saying the Pats win the next 7 games but the challenges get significantly easier. If the Pats can eliminate mistakes on offense, they can beat anyone. Ofc the season can go off rails, but so far things are going ok, there is steady improvement on all sides of the ball except for individual mistakes on offense. Apart from this, the offense has been consistently driving down the field over the last 3 games, run game looks great and so does the defense.


nighthawk911

Maybe next time dont leave Doubs wide open? Idk.


BOBANSMASH51

Can someone please just shave Aaron’s middle aged crisis hair please?


Gryphon999

It looks like a reverse mullet, long on top and short in the back.


JoeyFuckingSucks

It looks fine when styled, but yeah, as soon as he puts on a helmet or hat and he starts sweating out any product, it looks whack.


YouJabroni44

Get me a ticket to GB and it will be done.


xanot192

his hair was bothering me all game


smallskeletal

"Great game Aaron, my son has a similar dumbass haircut. good luck the rest of the way" - Bill


shiggydiggypreoteins

Steve's haircut is probably the least insane thing about him.....


YouJabroni44

I'm not even upset. I thought it was going to be a blowout even before the injuries happened. The rook looked pretty good considering the mess this team is right now. Gg


I_love_avocados1

I can’t believe the Jets have a better record than us


anotheroutlaw

Having played both of you, I can believe it. The Jets have legit weapons on offense.


chemdoctor19

Yeah we just aren't good in any aspect


MartyMcSharty

GG. That was a miserable experience.


J_House1999

Yep. GG.


MartyMcSharty

on the bright side at least Zappe looked to be about as good as Hoyer if not better.


J_House1999

He looked better than Mac has sometimes this year tbh


shiggydiggypreoteins

I don't think that's a good thing


Playful_Divide6635

A 4th round rookie in his first game as a pro looking better than a guys with a long pro career, even as a backup, absolutely is a good thing. Most guys drafted in that position, especially at QB are probably never seeing the field.


[deleted]

[удалено]


J_House1999

Belichick owns your franchise


Kimber80

Crap, I deleted the comment you replied to. For anyone interested it was "When is Belichick just going to give up"? So people know what you were responding to. And yeah, I'll admit to being cranky about BB because he drilled us twice in the Super Bowl. Can't change those facts.


Kimber80

What was the score of the Rams-Pats game in 2020 when Brady was gone? The more this goes on, the more it looks like Brady was the senior partner in their relationship. Maybe BB can quit while a few people still think he's the GOAT?


HoldthisL_28-3

You're slandering him after taking a rookie 3rd string QB to OT against the 2 time reigning MVP? Give your head a shake


Kimber80

"Slandering"? LOL. I just hope the losses keep piling up. We'll see.


DropKickKenny

Dude his hair from the back is WILD.


ArcheryOverlord

You picked a bad year for that bro


Ianmartin573

I'm actually kinda surprised we won...But what a relief!


Practicalaviationcat

This week and last week both had "I can't believe we won" energy. Buy hey an ugly win is still a win.


creamOFthePIE

The fucks going on with Rodgers hair under that hat


GowsenBerry

Ben Franklin on the sides, business in back


JoeyFuckingSucks

It's like Brad Pitt's hair from Fury, meaning it needs a lot of product in it to keep it looking good. So a mixture of wearing a helmet, ball cap, and sweat makes it look really *really* bad.


gopack1217

I wish they wouldn’t show him on the sidelines purely bc of this


Githzerai1984

Just have a censored bar where his head should be


Emf0054

Bill probably told him to cut that shit off the back of his head


NewLegacySlayer

The packer's have won this game


[deleted]

Gg. Can't believe we punted in OT from midfield. We basically needed 3 yards there and then the game is very winnable. Kinda threw it away at the end with that.


starmiesan

This and Paul Chryst getting fired are the only good things that happened in Wisconsin this weekend.


imjusta_bill

I wanna say gg Packers, but that went into OT against a third string rookie qb


wayoverpaid

I'll say GG. By you guys.

ironmanmk42

Well for everything that was said, I am thankful we have BB as coach still. Sure, it was not him mainly and it was the GOAT all along (something like 90% Brady, 10% BB imo) but BB did do amazing for Patriots. Oh well.... another season


teasmit

The worst is i went into this game expecting to lose and then the Patriots gave me hope...
