The Anatomy of a Blowout 

As a Packers fan, this was three hours I wish I could experience for the first time again.

You know its gonna be good when Brett uploads it 4 days after he says he would

“Nobody hates the cowboys like cowboys fans” wonderfully put

This shit was so hard to watch live as a Cowboys fan. We sat down for that game at AT&T fully expecting to have another potential blowout win at home and the air was completely deflated after that first Packers drive. It went from bad to worse to uncontrollably bad so fast that we were all quite literally stunned by what we were seeing. The Packers just dominated every aspect of the game, it was bananas to watch in person.

9:06 it’s crazy that Dallas didn’t check out of the 0 blitz after blatantly showing it, and watching Love make adjustments for 10+ seconds.

It's funny that the Cowboys had a "Be Love" in one of their end zones while getting blown out by Love...lol

I think this game still attracts so much attention due to the fact that Jerry and the players spent all season telling everyone how good they were. Jerry tends to do that every year but Parsons saying that they are the best defense in the league or Ceedee Lamb saying that he's the best receiver in the game just added more ammo to the people who hate them. Watching them get murdered by Green Bay at home was so satisfying for so many. Jerry's interview at the end was the icing on the cake.

Love threw off his back foot so many times, watching it live I was sure he'd be picked. Then the camera would pan and you'd see the receiver had like 30 yards of separation.

Games like this really show the weaknesses of coaches like McCarthy and Quinn. They excel over the course of the regular season by sticking to plays that work, and that make the most of their super-talented roster, but they fall short in the postseason because they dont add a lot of new wrinkles, so if one of those super talented stars has a bad day at a bad time, or the other team has one of their go-to calls or packages scouted and countered, they're toast. When McCarthy was younger, he seemed to be more flexible and he was one of the best halftime adjustment coaches in the league, but he's become more set in his ways since his last 2-3 years in GB, and predictability is death come playoff time.

Dan Quinn can't play defense from behind. He's in love with the concept of the "Box Safety" even when it's an obvious running situation from the offense. His defensive tendencies have been on tape and haven't changed since his Seahawk days. Difference was, he had All pros at every level on the Seahawks that were able to consistently win 1 on 1s in the Cover 3. He's unable to scheme a defense around the talent he has, and instead forces his system on players that may not be fit for it.

It was kinda fun to be on the other side of a Mccarthy playoff game. Lefleur had this team fired up more than any recent coach, and he looked like he had a chip on his shoulder and something to prove. Too bad we couldnt get over the 49ers hump, but our SB window is officially open :D

As a Cowboys fan this was painful as hell. I was legit relaxed when fucking ads showed up to give me 30 seconds of respite.

"This was the throw that, as a Bears fan, made me audibly say, 'Doh, shit.'"🤣🤣 Had a good laugh when I heard that one. Well done as always, btw, Brett.

The game that sold me on Love being the future in how he masterfully handled this game. It was beyond anything I could've hoped for a first season.

Jordan Love is absolutely incredible

Brett, that opening wasn't too dramatic at all. It was phenomenal! I am a local news photographer and I put together news packages and reporter stories for a living and that was as well shot, as well edited and as well written as they come!

“Slow motion car wrecks.” *Shows Dak in slo mo* 😂😂😂

Hey Brett, just wanted to thank you for making these videos I've never been much of a sports fan growing up, as my family was not that into it and I never played any myself to learn how the games work. I've been getting more into sports in general the last few years and have been learning to love it. I think a big part of why it was tough for me to get into football specifically was not really understanding what was going on in the game beyond a basic understanding of the rules and objectives. Discovering your videos has helped me enjoy this NFL season sooo much more. Having someone break down the little nuances and explain how different concepts work (or don't work) has really opened my eyes to how cerebral and strategic the game can be and has given me a whole new appreciation for the sport. I still have a ton to learn, but I'm actually able to identify stuff that is going on and why. Anyways, all of that is to say, thanks so much for doing what you do. You clearly put a ton of effort into these videos and it does not go unappreciated. You've made a new fan out of me.

the vibe of filming at the training facility and in the stands / on the field is fantastic gives the video something special .100% something worth doing whenever you get the chance great video

I was just glad to see Love performing well. The season was rough to start, but the best part was seeing Love continue to improve. I was bummed they lost to the 49ers, but for the team I saw at the beginning of the season to be holding their own against the 49ers was incredible.

That intro was some professional movie stuff. Awesome vid Brett!

The story telling in the beginning is absolutely 🔥🔥🔥

I think this game showed us that the cowboys window is actually closed. I think a legit rebuild should be in place

As a cowboys fan i knew what was coming after our loss to the 49ers. We played better after sure, but that team was still in there

You ever see those videos where toddlers spill a little bit of water so they panic and dump out the rest of the cup? That’s the Cowboys anytime anything unexpected or inconvenient happens. I knew this was over in the first quarter. Any other team I would’ve said they’ve got time.

the wicks throw was everything, the route too. what a play

Can't wait to get a division finals analysis mid march

I’m 24 years old. We have never won anything and I get ridiculed for the old fans and the sins of my father before I was born told about our fanbase and who deserve everything we get. Yet every cowboys fan 30 and under actually just wants to die and hates the team as much as everyone else. I just wanna win man

I like that you have 41-16 rather than the true score when Dak was stat padding. Btw, it was 48-16 before they pulled the starters.

So you mean to tell me as a braindead Dallas fan, I identified that the coaches were being absolutely ROASTED by the GB coaching staff after the 3rd drive.

Its actually incredible how arod like that love to wicks TD was, from the hard count, the confident los adjustment, the poice to stand still and just flick a perfect pass to the endzone

You know it’s bad when you make a Joe Barry defense look good

Even as a cowboys fan I appreciate the analysis. Though it seems like there was more meat on this bone to discuss. There was so much more to dissect about the Cowboys pass coverage in the first half giving up like 4 different chunk plays (20+ yds). That loss was emotionally devastating as a fan, not quite 7-1 world cup territory, but to the point where when asked how my day was going last week I responded "still not over the cowboys" on more than one occasion.

i came up with an era-adjusted definition of “blowout” that works for football/hockey/soccer and possibly baseball (idk, i don’t actually watch it): a loss by a margin equal to or greater than the average number of points scored by teams in the league that year (or the previous year if you don’t have the data yet). for example, 2023 nfl teams scored an average of 21.8 points per game, so any loss by 22 or more would be a blowout

Packers fan here, found this episode late but so grateful for it. Brett you're the best on YT at making the complicated digestible and fun! (For packers fans at least!)

Your content is always high-quality but this is another level, Brett. Mad props!

love watching your videos. Thanks for making football-factual vids man, you really help me digest the game better. Go pack, but the presentation is incredible. Loved seeing it at Jerry world too!

Thanks for this awesome breakdown Mr kollmann. Love the content! Can’t wait for more!

The intro with the background music and build up is phenomenal

Awesome as always Brett. That love back foot throw on the post gave me some serious Rodgers vibes it was perfect

What a video. Thanks man. The technical insight was beautiful

Mad respect that not only did you go there.... but you went there in a remarkably well thought out and considered manner

I love the technical side of football! This is amazing!

Great job as always Brett, love your work both on here & on Bootleg 👏👍

Very cool! Brett, I first subscribed to your channel after watching your video "The Eagles are changing how NFL rosters are built". Then three years ago, I lost interest because your videos were very centered around individual players. But I'm so glad to have re-discovered your channel. I love the bigger picture content on systems, games, industry trends, etc.

I'm loving the gradual quality increase in camera and location work from this channel. You've come a long way from your Marcus Mariota / Jameis Winston vid, Brett.

Easily your best video ever. This was an excellent watch, thank you!

You are a godsend to the NFL community, perfect blend of knowledge and dramatization ❤

Another great video Brett, these always make my day!

Love your videos man

I love how you highlighted the TD play Love made when the Cowboys were in Cover 0 at the redzone. If any play was a testament to good coaching (by the Packers), and an emerging talent using the skills he's been taught- that was it. Getting the safeties to jump with a hard snap count, calling the audible, and making the perfect throw. That is when you know the Packers have potential to become a force in the coming years.

Absolutely marvelous.

Excellent analysis and breakdown.

Amazing video! Let’s get Brett to 400K! He deserves it all!

The production is uncanny & only getting better and better. Can't wait for your Chargers content in 2024, and please BOLT THE F*** UP!

wow man just found this channel this is amazing

The TD to Wicks was a thing of beauty and all you need to know about where 10ve is at. Pre snap read, adjustment, execution

I, for one, loved the melodramatic opening!

Bruh. That was excellent. Flat out. Thanks for your work . 😊

I like these Openings, Brett! Do more, please!

excellent video as always!

I hope you do a breakdown of the AFC Championship game next. So I can truly see the beauty of how the Chiefs Defense stopped an immovable object like the Ravens Offense. Great Video!

Just found this channel. You gained a sub, good stuff keep it up.

I'm glad I found this channel!

I'm only on for 1:24 but it already feels like one of your best videos to date Brett :)

Good shit Brett you da man

Very insightful, Great video 👍👍

1:30 in and I already know this gonna be one of those videos I watch 10 times a year

Bro im gonna be honest, as a packer fan i loved the video. As an aspiring film maker, i loved this more. The audio richness. The dramatics in the music selection and ur ability to tell a story and bring it all together. Outstanding. Id love to talk with you one day to learn frm you

The cinematography is off the charts with this one

Just when we were finally starting to forget the loss… thanks Brett

Brett has the best schematic breakdowns on RU-vid, and it's not even close. Plenty of other guys know their Xs and Os as well as Brett, but he is by far the best communicator. On a side note - MY SEAHAWKS ARE HIRING MIKE MACDONALD! LET'S F***ING GO! Could you maybe do an analysis of the hire, with a breakdown of MacDonald's defense, how our current personnel fit, and what we'll need to do in free agency and the draft to put him in the best possible position to succeed? Thanks again for all your content, Brett! You're the best!

I have to say the Sinner’s Children on the uprights really undercuts you saying this isn’t malicious 😂

I was ready for the game, layed down after the gym for a little too long and I wokeup to it being dark outside, checked the score and I realized I had been blessed, not by a cowboys win but by being spared from the torment of this game. Pernas cursed wheel lied to me.

Watching this as a packers fan, hearing from a bears fan, i give you hella credit for not being bias at all. most respectable bears fan.

This was EXCELLENT!!

Spot on my friend spot on

You weren't lyin' on Twitter. Real good video. Top notch. 👍

The editing on this is so nice good LAWD

GO PACK GOOOOO 💚💛 thank you for this! I love reliving this moment 😂

I assume this title is a reference to Anatomy of a Fall because Brett is a man of culture

I remember in the preseason when you as a bears fan said you'd worry this day may come. Not chortling in the slightest. I feel for you as a bears fan. Having grown up in Chicago a Packers fan it hasn't been easy to like a lot of the fans but I can say with ease you're what I wish more Bears fans would strive to be. Thanks for not slighting my favorite team in any of your videos ever and always sharing great content around your rival

Terry blacks is my favorite place in the world! Glad you got to experience it Brett

It was that throw to wicks when I thought “yep, we’ve got another one” as a packers fan. God I’m glad I was born in Wisconsin.

Dan Quinn in the 3rd quarter wanted to show Joe Barry on the other sideline how to play light boxes against the run. Unbelievable.

Romeo Doubs impressed me the most. There was no showboating after catching a pass. Just toss to the ref and head back to the sidelines. Class act!

When you go to the shrine bowl keep an eye out for Elijah Klein, OL from UTEP. Went to high school with him he’s a great dude and a beast on the field.

It had been a while since my mom, dad, and I sat together watching a game but we just happened to for this game and what a game to come back to

First video I’ve ever seen from this channel, and being a giants fan (and a fan of breakdowns like this) you’ve got a new sub for sure 🤌🏽

As a bears fan born in 89.... A childhood knowing the Cowboys were something worth striving for, but never being that good again beyond those halcyon days so poisoned by nostalgia. And the Green Bay packers. A team that has more hits on the jackpot for quarterback than they do super bowl rings in 33 years, despite those jackpots: There will come a day in my life where neither of you will comprehend joy. That will be the day I feel warmth again. I dont ever expect the Bears to ever be good. That is idiocy, sheer idiocy. I just hope both of you feel like us at some point before I get my ticket off of this godforsaken earth. Enjoy your lotus flowers until then.

I personally love the dramatic opening

Like how u brought up Alexanders ability to read plays cuz now that i take a 2nd/3rd/4th look i can c he knew what the receivers intentions r

Damn the camera work and editing on this is next level

Cover 3 cloud flats fixes a blowout 😢

YEAH HERE WE GO

This is an incredible video

"Be Love" in the end zone is damn near poetic

Brett in 4K is glorious

The best title in this channel.

oh im saving this for the TV
