| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome once again to the Packernet podcast. I am your host and |
| 0:13.3 | resident fanalyst as always Ryan Schlipp. Check us out online, packernet.com. Find me on |
| 0:18.6 | Twitter, pack underscore dat. |
| 0:28.6 | Obviously, I'm annoyed. I'm not nearly as mad as I would have thought that I would have been. |
| 0:59.4 | This really is just kind of a shoulder shrug for me in so far as, look, I mean, either you're going to step up and do it or you're not. I don't know what else to say. And the more I, I mean, it's been 10 minutes since the game ended, but the more I sit and think about it, I mean, first of all, there's a lot of fluky stuff that happened in this game, and I'm just going to more or less disregard that. The stupid punt return thing. Okay, whatever. Yeah, cool. Save that in your back pocket until the last play, last game of the season, then you pull it out, whatever. I don't care about that. |
| 1:05.3 | The fumble by Jaden Reed, I'm kind of 50-50 on. It's not that it's impossible to not fumble there, but also it's a perfectly placed punch. |
| 1:14.7 | Fricking stuff happens. |
| 1:16.8 | A lot of fluky, stupid crap in this game. |
| 1:19.1 | But there's one issue. |
| 1:21.2 | And as far as I'm concerned, there's only one issue with this team. |
| 1:24.6 | We don't have a passing game. |
| 1:27.4 | We can't pass the football. And I mean, |
| 1:35.5 | you know, I mean, as much as it's like annoying, he's like, why didn't Matt Lafleur just run the |
| 1:39.2 | ball at the end? And I fully agree with that. We should have just run every single play. |
| 1:43.7 | That is absolutely not the answer to |
| 1:47.1 | anything moving forward because run the ball every play is not an option in the NFL. It's |
| 1:53.8 | certainly not an option for a team that's trying to win a Super Bowl. You're either going to start |
| 1:58.9 | passing effectively or we should just forfeit our seat and give it to somebody else. |
| 2:05.3 | Because if you cannot pass the football, we're done. We're done. Now, I don't know what happened on every single passing play because there was a lot of both quarterbacks holding the ball. |
| 2:18.4 | So either Matt Lafleur just had the worst day ever as a head coach because everything that |
| 2:24.1 | I can judge about Matt Lafleur, I think I judged negatively. |
| 2:28.0 | Most of the things I can't judge, but I've never seen quarterbacks hold the ball so long. |
