And we're going to study Green Bay?

The OT rules are okay since they changed them. If the first team on offense kicks a FG, then the other team has a chance to answer. You can argue that it's still a little unfair, but a team can't win in OT the old fashioned way (which was ridiculous).

You know the rule is unfair when an entire stadium goes nuts over winning a coin flip. No one should give a rip who wins the coin flip.

Yep. Settle for field goals and take your foot off the gas.

And fail to field an onside kick. Good stuff.

Ferentz didn't settle for many field goals after the Ball St. game. He went for it 4th down quite a lot actually.

Overall, I'd say it's smart to try and emulate the Packers style of play. Instead of looking at one game against the best defense in the league, if you follow GB's whole body of work, I'd say the smart play would be emulation.

You are correct about the failure on the onside kick though.

Hey deanvogs it's NOT that they chose GB it's that they chose GB and it was a mirror image of everything ailing the Iowa program. Also, the way the game played out is alllll to eerily familiar with how GB lost that game. Problem is KF runs his program like he has Rogers, Cobb, Lacy, and Nelso in his arsenal. He does NOT so quit trying to make it fit when you don't have any of those pieces to execute. They play calling was vintage conservative bad with several plays looking like a Ferentz offense. This thread was brilliant and someone beat me posting it.

KF isn't going to other schools to find out what play to call on 3rd down. He is going to look at schemes. Green Bay has a good offense, top 25-30% in the NFL. If Iowa could have a top 40 offense in college football I'd be a lot happier.

Couple le other things, KF goes for it on 4th and a foot by the goal line, he did it all year long. Also we are talking about one of the 4 best team in the freaking NFL.....yet dopes like you are screaming that we don't want to look at winning offenses and winning teams and cultures. You are bangin the drum to keep the status quo.....just dumb.

Some people really have no clue. It isn't like the Iowa coaches are headed to GB so McCarthy can tell them how to call a game, it's formations, personnel groupings, sets, etc.

I get that people are upset with KF and where the program is but at least have some basic football knowledge before you post something as idiotic as above.
 
I thought this thread was made in jest to point out the similarities between how that game played out and how a lot of games play out at iowa. I doubt the OP truly believes that Green Bay isn't worth of us mimicking.
 
Either you guys need better reading comprehension or I need to be less lenient in giving the benefit of doubt. Not sure which one.
 
The most heart breaking loss of my life, we dominated the champs and should of blown them out. Now I have to watch that piece of trash Wilson luck his way to another title. I definitely see similarities between Mcarthy and Kirk, play not too lose and you lose.

A lot of things are ailing the Iowa program but Seattle is the mirror image of Iowa, or at least how KF wants Iowa to be. Solid defense. Conservative offense. Run the ball down their throats.

For 2 1/2 quarters or so GB was stoning Seattle's running game. Then came the pass from the holder to the lineman. What a game changer. Seattle was about ready to call it a day. Then after all that pounding by the OL albeit they were unproductive runs, Seattle started to shove GB out of the LOS. After that, GB couldn't stop Seattle on the ground. Which kept Rodgers off the field. Yep, just like KF envisions Iowa's offense.

Not a bad plan. I like Seattle's plan. Too bad Iowa can't execute it. And with next season's defense, no way Iowa executes it.

That is how I pretty much took it. Yeah, a couple of guys went off the deep end, but I think most people in this thread got that.

There are far worse human beings than RW sir.....
 
not sure if mentioned - but that 2 point conversion was brutal - the GB defender has to do something there. he just watched him catch it -

I don't normally agree with posts by underwear models, but when I do, they look like this.

As someone who absolutely hates the Packers, I'm not sure about the "dominated part". I think they had every opportunity to put the game out of reach but in my opinion a dominant effort would have punched in TDs rather than watched 1st and goals turn into chip shot field goals. The defense forced 4 ints and its only a 16 point game in the 4th? I don't see that as dominant. Defense was dominant, maybe but not a total domination in terms of the entire team. And still have to play a complete 60 minutes.
