Smashing De' Flower  December 26, 2021
Coach Mike Zimmer has been given a great opportunity, where that schedule has been against him most of the year.  In other words, within his mitts is the opportunity to Smash Matt LaFleur thereby jettisoning A. A. Ron to another location.  Of course, this is a sad cry from the idiots that are desperately trying to get Mike Zimmer fired instead of retiring on his own terms ... as if we were a real class organization.  

The first hard lesson learned is that regardless of the score, the last 2 minutes of the first half have been disastrous for this franchise ... AKA "Zimmer Time".  Although we'd all like to crawl under a rock during those moments, there is one thing that Mike Zimmer can do for himself to help rectify these events.  NEVER CALL A TIME OUT FOR THEIR OFFENSE DURING ANY END OF HALF DRIVE!!!!!    This franchise is playing the clock ... a very crewel clock ... where it is best to let it run when your offense is not trying to work the ball down the field to somehow secure points.  

The Packers just faced two very physical teams in the Raven's & the Brown's before our upcoming contest in Green Bay.  To be direct, these two team were clearly just a shadow of what this franchise had to face as we had to handle Lamar & a very devastating power edge blocker which were non-existent for the Packers.  As for the Browns, they could only field one devastating runner where two were rammed down our throats.  Of course this makes no mention to the Brown's depleted all world DE & a much more potent defense.  However, what we do know is that the Packers defense had to defend two very physical squads that were hell bent on running the ball which meant they pounded the crap out of A. A. Ron's defense.

Now there is one very vital statistic to keep in mind. When you pass the ball your completion rate is 60 to 70% & that is if your quarterback is close to 100% & not under enormous pressure.  However, when you run the ball, regardless if it is a gain or a loss, by comparison it's a 100% deal ... and to be direct ... at this juncture ... that Packer's defense under The Flower will not be capable of stopping the run which was well demonstrated playing the Browns.   

THE GIFT:  For some time, as an advocate, there was a deep thought of using Alexander Mattison in more of a power role, to soften up the defense, especially early in the 1st & 2nd quarter.  That would allow the to unleash a fresh Dalvin Cook & his explosiveness in the 3rd & 4th quarter against a depleted defense.  Unfortunately, we ruled by the critics of the game where we became blinded by Dalvin's talent that allowed him to be ground up (hits) throughout the game ... hoping for the fallacy of an early lead.  From a team concept, where everyone is chipping in toward that victory, this simple reasoning might have been exposed a better approach.  Said another way, was Lombardi brilliant in his use of Jim Taylor & Paul Hornung ... that put the team concept in front of everything ... that is mistakenly being overlooked today.  Regardless of our never ending pining, Dalvin Cook is now out ... under "The Wuhan 19" protocol this week ...  which means fresh legs versus the Packer's next week.  The last time Dalvin was given a week off he ground up over 200 yards on the ground.  In other words, "The Flower" & his crew are praying that Mike Zimmer overlooks all of these signs & doesn't give the Fudger's a heavy dose of that Viking "TIME CONSUMING RUN GAME".    

Of course, this doesn't mean Kirk Cousins will be without a job next week however it is in our all best interest to temper his role in favor of a heavy dose of that run game ... every quarterbacks best friend.

A. A. Ron will have to do everything possible to get an early lead, maybe try to get a 2 touchdown lead, however we need to understand that we will be in less of a football shootout & more like a 15 round fight, where never ending pounding will rule the day.  The only question being, will we allow "The Flower" to dictate the terms of this game or will we provide "THE TERMS".

As for the Fudgies ... "We own this Division" ... "Peer at our record (& be held in awe ... bow to us)" ... "We are playing at home in front our faithful" ... "We have revenge in our mind after getting beat earlier by these very Vikings in their complex".  In other words, the expectations of a blow-out will be high, sort of like the Buffalo Bills playing Parcels New York Giants that had to use a back up quarterback & a slow developing ball control offense that ate up clock.  After what Cleveland "ground up" verus the Packers on the ground ... at an alarming clip ... the entire CHEESE KOFF complex will be "ill at ease" watching the doings of Cook, Alexander & Kene Nwangwu ... tearing through all that delicate fabric that was hoping for "Coverage Jogging" instead.
