Official Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahaks Game Thread

[Fosco33]

Please - someone who's smarter than me -

Why do teams play 'prevent' defense? I don't get it.

[FritzDontBlitz]

Still not much pass rush by the front four.

Read somewhere - but can't recall - but it basically showed that we haven't had many (handful) of sacks in the last 4 games.

Having huge runstuffers inside kinda negates your inside pressure on passes. That's why I miss Grady, he was collapsing the pocket by himself last week for the Jags.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

I want a Pickett jersey.

You could use it as a "tent" when you aren't wearing it. Good Lord, he's huge.

Oh, I would order it "Pickett-sized" and hang it on the wall. Or use it as a curtain.

[Fosco33]

Very good point.

Please - someone who's smarter than me -

Why do teams play 'prevent' defense? I don't get it.

To prevent you from winning.

[Fosco33]

Snow looks crazy cool on HD.

[GrnBay007]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..........

[pbmax]

we aren't in prevent, but that was the first blitz I have seen in second half

I agree Grady looked good. Losing Jack Jolly hurt our ability to collapse the pocket.

Please - someone who's smarter than me -

Why do teams play 'prevent' defense? I don't get it.

Prevent defenses are geared almost exclusively towards stopping an extremely long pass. They are frequently used in obvious passing situations, such as a third-and-very-long situation, or to prevent a long score on the last play of a half, or when the defense believes that the offense must pass (for example, if the offense is trailing late in a game). Otherwise the prevent is almost never used. The defense trades size for speed, and tries to ensure that no receiver can get behind the defense. A prevent defense backs up the coverage so far that it will often give up long yardage, but it makes scoring a touchdown in a single play very difficult.

It was the "smarter than me" comment that got me to respond. :wink:

[TennesseePackerBacker]

The walrus needs to retire and be team pres.

[Fosco33]

Please - someone who's smarter than me -

Why do teams play 'prevent' defense? I don't get it.

To prevent you from winning.

So - you hold a team to 84 yards in the 1st half -- and then play 4 down and lots of nickle/zone. I'm obviously not a coach - but never understood why you'd stop what's been working.

[FritzDontBlitz]

SAnders does not pay attention to the game much. Hasselbeck is easily rattled by pressure up the middle, and he still has not applied any.

Big break on the dropped pass. Wake up safeties.

[FritzDontBlitz]

Great job holding them to a FG defense.

We need a nice time consuming TD drive here to close the door on Seattle. If they don't at least cross midfield here they keep Seattle alive.

[Willard]

Snow looks crazy cool on HD.
Indeed. Although I feel an epileptic seizure coming on......freaky.....

[gbgary]

Snow looks crazy cool on HD.

ya know.........the Pack hasn't had a snow game in a long time.

So - is wiki smarter than me? 35-6 would be a lot better than 35-20.

Remember that 2 TD lead that evaporated........ why let a team back in it?

[b bulldog]

They chewed up a lot of time for 3 points

[gbgary]

They chewed up a lot of time for 3 points

that's why we started playing soft on D...so they'd eat up their own clock-time. pretty smart plan by MM.

lol

[Willard]

They chewed up a lot of time for 3 points
OUr D needs a rest. I would like to order up a 9 minute, 20 play TD drive for the Pack please. Heavy doses of Grant, but TD to Bubba. Thanks.

[GrnBay007]

Snow looks crazy cool on HD.

ya know.........the Pack hasn't had a snow game in a long time.

It would be cool to be there....but I kinda like being warm and dry. lol

[Brando19]

Oh man the field is covered. It was like this the last time these two teams met...i hope this is a different outcome. C'mon Favre...throw for another one!

[FritzDontBlitz]

I have no problem with showing dime/nickel if you still attack from it. Sitting back in zone is just as bad as prevent no matter whar formation you use,

I know what you mean, but I think I'll go to the game next week anyway!

[Guiness]

Here we go. Sanders is going vanilla and giving up huge chunks of yardage.

Prevent is the worst gameplan ever. Why stop what's working well? Never made sense to me. So - you may give yp a TD - is that worse than always giving up tons of yards - hell no.

Way too early - and no lead is big enough today.

I know what you mean, but having played safety, there is one thing that prevent rarely gets credit for...the D gets to absolutely PUNISH the O, especially the WR's. I've seen teams crawling back from a lead, but it peters out because they are tired of getting drilled, and just want to go home. And I've seen the secondary lay a few on that last drive.

I'm not necessarily advocating it - just saying there are good points other than the obvious.

[gbgary]

ya know...........the field is gonna be in sad shape for next weeks game!

[Fosco33]

Hey Tennessee - you got your 40+

:lol:

I'll say Grant is now even for the game.

[pbmax]

Grant is my new hero.

And Jackson not far behind.

the offense as a whole is really something today. clicking on all cylinders

HAHAHAHA I LOVE IT

GIANTS AT PACKERS

SUPER BOWL FOR SURE

[gbgary]

Good point - but I don't see them giving up and wanting to go home in the playoffs.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Grant needs another drive like that to get to even in my book.

Grant busts a 40+'er today, he's been close on several occasions already.


There we go, I figured that'd come true.

[pbmax]

Funny how road game and slippery field makes the Seahawks D a bit slower. I wonder of the field crew order up snowmakers from the UP skiing resorts. :lol:

[mmmdk]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow..........

LOL :lol:

[Willard]

ya know...........the field is gonna be in sad shape for next weeks game!
Snow game followed by a mud bowl? Bring it on BABY!!! I want Eli's uniform saturated in Lambeau Field muck while he sits in his own puddle and wonders why he isn't is good as his big bro'...........OK OK, I may being getting ahead of myself a little..

[Fosco33]

Can barely read Favre's name on the back of the jersey with all the snow. gnarly

[Brando19]

I wish i woulda taped this game.

[Fosco33]

I wish i woulda taped this game.

I did.....

[GrnBay007]

I wish i woulda taped this game.

Me too! :(

[gbgary]

well........just look for the number 4.

:D

[Fosco33]

Keep this clock moving - a FG makes it 2+ scores down (much better than 2 to tie). A TD would break a Packer record.

[Willard]

I wish i woulda taped this game.

I did.....
Me too :D

[gbgary]

GRANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[GrnBay007]

Have I mentioned lately....

I LOVE THE GREEN BAY PACKERS!!!!

[Guiness]

Having huge runstuffers inside kinda negates your inside pressure on passes. That's why I miss Grady, he was collapsing the pocket by himself last week for the Jags.

There's a guy who can really state he gets no respect, and it be true. He plays well year after year, but it's like teams keep thinking that it was his last year to be effective...

[pbmax]

Who is TOny Moll in for? I have seen him twice at least. Is he in for an extra blocker or is Spitz hurt?

[Brando19]

Let's score 50!!!
Has anyone scored 42 against the Seahawks this year?

[b bulldog]

Total domination today people. We have given them all but their last 3 points.

[Fosco33]

See my prior post. I have no problem with the prevent itself but its the worst defense to be in when there's enough time on the clock to attack the middle. Unless you throw a few well-disguised blitzes to keep the offense guessing you are leaving yourself open to give up huge chunks of yardage.

Poor pass but roughing the passer gives them a fresh set of downs.

Why aren't they utilizing Bubba in the short release?????

Oh well. Nevermind. Touchdown Grant. Right off Bubba's hip.

Bubba's blocking in the run game has been awesome today. He's my unsung hero today along with Brandon Jackson on special teams.

And still no punts from the Pack.

[gbgary]

GEEEZ, so now WHAT?

The Chili is simmering on the stove, housework is done. What is there to do for 4 hours??????

Guess I'll take the dog for a walk. At least that will keep her mind off the Chili lol


got any chili left?

[b bulldog]

No punts, I didn't realize that.

[The Shadow]

This game - the way the team responded to adversity -will pay enormous dividends for a long time.

[Joemailman]

What a game by the Packers offensive line. Maybe the best they've looked since we lost Wahle and Rivera.

[Fosco33]

Let's score 50!!!
Has anyone scored 42 against the Seahawks this year?

Falcons scored 44 in last game of reg season.

[b bulldog]

My two kids are going nuts in front of the TV

[pbmax]

No reason to risk stopping the clock.


Why aren't they utilizing Bubba in the short release?????

I LOVE THE GREEN BAY PACKERS!!!!
I love Gwen Stefani

[pbmax]

Nice play by Travon on coverage there.

[Fosco33]

Punting on 4th and 2 down 3 scores w/ 12 min left in the playoffs.

Walrus is too conservative.

[FritzDontBlitz]

Gutcheck time for Seattle. I want see how they respond in this weather now that it's a 22 point deficit.

Great deflection by Tramon Williams.

[gbgary]

Punting on 4th and 2 down 3 scores w/ 12 min left in the playoffs.

What a brain fart I had though. Of all things to forget for chili.....chili beans. Had to make an extra trip to the store lol

[KYPack]

Tausch pitchin' a shutout.

Our young guys don't play like kids anymore.

All of 'em are spreading their wings.

[Fosco33]

Looking for 2 hundo for Mr. Grant. Those first 3 carries were terrible - amazing recovery.

[FritzDontBlitz]

Grant is almost over 200 yards.

Well, almost 200 it that is.

First appearance by Jon Ryan, and we live to tell about it.

I am in stats-hog mode now. Please, please PLEASE wait until under 5:00 before you ease up on defense Bob Sanders.

[gbgary]

how many yards for Grant is that?

[GrnBay007]

That's so funny. First they are using a broom to clear the lines.....then a shovel....now there's a machine out there.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

put jackson in now

[Fosco33]

how many yards for Grant is that?

Might be 220+...

[Packers4Glory]

put jackson in now :!:

[gbgary]

on the next possession...time to take Brett and Grant (and others) out for some big applause and let the back-ups play.

[Fosco33]

I think Jon Ryan wanted to play too.

ARod is healthy - time for him to see playoff action.

[Brando19]

Grant has 201 today.

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah, I think it's time to sit them. Seattle knows it's over and they might start acting like lil bitches.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Yeah, I think it's time to sit them. Seattle knows it's over and they might start acting like lil bitches.

or do the stop and go

[Fosco33]

Grant has 201 today.

47 yards from tieing Eric Dickerson's playoff game record of 248....

[Brando19]

We need to pull Favre, Grant, Woodson, Kampman, Jennings, and Driver.

[FritzDontBlitz]

Oh God. MAJOR facemask?

[Fosco33]

No way in hell that was a major face mask - TiVO confirmed.

[Fosco33]

WOW - what bad - bad calls.

He threw it behind the line of scrimmage!!!!

[channtheman]

that was a fucking backword pass. or a lateral which means its a fucking FUMBLE! god these refs suck ass.

[Fosco33]

I dont' care if this game is 'in the bag'. That one has got to go to the league office for one of the worst calls in playoff history.

Stupid - stupid - stupid.

[gbgary]

that was a fucking backword pass. or a lateral which means its a fucking FUMBLE! god these refs suck ass.

yeah.....the league will be apologizing for that later this week.

[b bulldog]

That was clearly a fumble, he threw the ball backwards

[channtheman]

no kidding, when it is thrown backwords it isn't a pass so it can't be incomplete. these refs are awful!

[GrnBay007]

Action Jackson is making a show today!!

[channtheman]

the announcer just said that since his foot was going forward it is incomplete? wtf?

[Joemailman]

I wonder what the Packers had for their pre-game meal. These guys are playing with an intensity I haven't seen.

[Brando19]

I wonder what the Packers had for their pre-game meal. These guys are playing with an intensity I haven't seen.

Spinach...Popeye's spinach.

[FritzDontBlitz]

It was a backwards pass, which means it was still a live ball. Maybe M3 felt it would be perceived as piling on if he called for a review but it should have cost Seattle 10 yards at least. I also thought it was a bit strange that as they were scrambling to recover it a Packer defender kindly slapped it out of bounds.

Piss-poor explanation by Moose Johnston of why that wasn't a a backwards pass. He said it was because Hasselbeck was stepping forward, but Hasselbeck stepped SIDEWAYS.

Jackson is looking good in mopup duty.

[gbgary]

i like the way MM hung with Grant today instead of benching him like he did JJ earlier this year. guess he learned a lesson there.

[Fosco33]

I really hope we didn't just play our best game - because that effort (besides the fumbles early) could have beaten the Pats....

[Brando19]

I LOVE THIS GAME. I was so pissed off at first...now I can't be happier.

i'M GOING JUST AS NUTS AS THE KIDS ARE. :lol: i TOLD MY OLDEST SON THAT IF WE play in Lambeau next weekend, I'll buy some tickets and the two of us will go.

Good luck with that!!!!!

I'm guessing 2 tickets will run roughly a mortgage payment 8-)

[GrnBay007]

i like the way MM hung with Grant today instead of benching him like he did JJ earlier this year. guess he learned a lesson there.

Yep!

[FritzDontBlitz]

I am looking for a pick 6 to close this out.

[Fosco33]

I am looking for a pick 6 to close this out.

I like sacks too.

[Brando19]

Lets go Jaguars Lets go....Lets go Chargers Lets go....Lets go Giants Lets go............... 8-)

[Guiness]

I know he probably will, but I'll be annoyed if Favre comes out for this next series...but I know he will.

[FritzDontBlitz]

This has been another vintage Favre afternoon. Eat doody Phil Michaels.

[mmmdk]

i'M GOING JUST AS NUTS AS THE KIDS ARE. :lol: i TOLD MY OLDEST SON THAT IF WE play in Lambeau next weekend, I'll buy some tickets and the two of us will go.

I hope you get tickets :D

[TennesseePackerBacker]

I didn't think I'd see the Packers in an NFC Championship game this year. This is amazing.

edit: talking about prediction-wise of course, I figured they'd beat the seachickens today.

[Fosco33]

Sounded like 'MVP, MVP, MVP'

Great game everyone - let's go Bolts, Jags and Giants!

Super Bowl or Bust.

[b bulldog]

I have coMVP's in this game, brett and the Oline. Both played perfectly.

[GrnBay007]

And to think....at 3:40 today we were all feeling pretty sick!! :D

[mmmdk]

I LOVE THIS GAME. I was so pissed off at first...now I can't be happier.

It's alright - I understand more than anyone :lol:

[retailguy]

And to think....at 3:40 today we were all feeling pretty sick!! :D

I wasn't. I had faith. :P

[FritzDontBlitz]

And to think....at 3:40 today we were all feeling pretty sick!! :D

Yeah there was a serious panic attack early.

Should Dallas win tomorrow all we will be hearing about for the next week is how Favre has never won there.

[Fosco33]

And to think....at 3:40 today we were all feeling pretty sick!! :D

Us West Coasters had a different feeling at 3:40. I admit - my thought of a few in a hundred was pessimistic - but wow - they just blew the doors off this one.

No matter what - can't start like that next week. Let's ride this momemtum to a victory party at Lambeau in February!!!

[Fosco33]

And to think....at 3:40 today we were all feeling pretty sick!! :D

I wasn't. I had faith. :P

:worship: :bclap: :bow: :thank:

[Freak Out]

Kia!!

[b bulldog]

I admit it, I didnt, glad I was too jumpy. :lol:

[Chubbyhubby]

Lets hope Giants win tomrrow so the "G-Men will come to Green Bay next week! Go "G\Men!"

[cheesner]

I have coMVP's in this game, brett and the Oline. Both played perfectly.How about on defense Atari Bigby. He set the tone early.

[Fosco33]

And to think....at 3:40 today we were all feeling pretty sick!! :D

Yeah there was a serious panic attack early.

Should Dallas win tomorrow all we will be hearing about for the next week is how Favre has never won there.


Just now - I want the Boys to win. Brett to beat the crap out of them and shut these announcers up. The Pats to make the SB.

Packers over Pats ruining the 'perfect' season - Favre SB MVP -

There is no better ending.

[mmmdk]

I admit it, I didnt, glad I was too jumpy. :lol:

Me too!

[Willard]

I have coMVP's in this game, brett and the Oline. Both played perfectly.
O-Line was wonderful. Great job to Coach also to keep the wheels on early.

[mmmdk]

And to think....at 3:40 today we were all feeling pretty sick!! :D

I wasn't. I had faith. :P

How do ya do it?

Note: Packers now 7-0 this season when I wear my AJ Hawk jersey :P

[gbgary]

everyone calm down. it'll be fine.


the comeback begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


COMEBACK COMPLETE!!! NEW BALL GAME!!!


i predict Grant will be the games MVP!!


THIS GAME IS F'N OVER!!!!!!


Brett's amazing


GRANT


GRANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ya know...........the field is gonna be in sad shape for next weeks game!

[mmmdk]

Danish TV 3+ is arranging a game for Danish fans to Lambeau next season...in November.

C YA THERE! AWESOME!!!

[The Shadow]

Bigby's play really set the tone. His contribution was immense.

[gbgary]

everybody played a good game today.

[retailguy]

Bigby's play really set the tone. His contribution was immense.

Look, I don't want to be a contrarian, however, Bigby can lay a hard hit, but he couldn't cover with a blanket and a 10 yard head start.

This offseason, if he can improve his coverage skills I'm there with you, if he can't, it's just a matter of time before he becomes a major liability.

[gbgary]

i've been on the phone.......who got mvp of the game?

[MadtownPacker]

i've been on the phone.......who got mvp of the game?Favre has to be the MVP of this one. Even though he redeemed himself Grant could have cost the game. Favre bailed him out.

[Lurker64]

Look, I don't want to be a contrarian, however, Bigby can lay a hard hit, but he couldn't cover with a blanket and a 10 yard head start.

This offseason, if he can improve his coverage skills I'm there with you, if he can't, it's just a matter of time before he becomes a major liability.

I think in a different defensive scheme, Bigby could be a major asset even if he doesn't learn to cover. A lot of teams don't ask much in coverage from their strong safeties. It's really one of the peculiarities of the Bates defense that the the safeties are more or less interchageable.

Regardless, thus far it's working.

[mmmdk]

Spitzy - nickname given by Brett :lol:

Favre was MVP.

Just got off the phone with my nephew who was at the game. They were in the south end zone, and he said when the snow really started coming down in the third quarter. they couldn't see the other end zone.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Bigby's play really set the tone. His contribution was immense.

I think it is time for Skinbasket to start the Atari Bigby fanclub

[The Shadow]

Bigby's play really set the tone. His contribution was immense.

Look, I don't want to be a contrarian, however, Bigby can lay a hard hit, but he couldn't cover with a blanket and a 10 yard head start.

This offseason, if he can improve his coverage skills I'm there with you, if he can't, it's just a matter of time before he becomes a major liability.

Big's fierce attitude picked them up tremendously at an early point in the game, just as Wayne Simmons' take-no-prisoner's play buoyed the team in the San Francisco game of years past.
Can't be underestimated.

Comments....


Favre admitted that he was not optimistic after being down 14-0.... and said, "oh boy, this ain't too good... this is the exact game I didn't want to be in.... put us in a situation where we have to throw against their Defense... but all those things we handled well."

On the stumble/shuffle pass, "that looked bad. glad i got it completed. probably looked slow and not athletic. we were pressed for time. brought Lee in for protection. had to point to him for whom to block. stepped to left and it was covered well. spun out of it. not quite as nimble and tripped - maybe over my own feet.... i knew i had room to run or make a play.... i held on long enough and thinking 'just get your feet underneath you' - low and behold Lee is there. gave him the underhand pass - practice it all the time. no one was more excited than me in the building. continue the drive and not risk a bad kick. 9 of 10 times it would've fell incomplete or I would've fallen. it was a big play for a lot of reasons."

"Most snow I've ever played in. Hoping for that for 17 years.... I wanted to play where you couldn't see the field. It's amazing - that the first time it's snowed like that."

On the 4th and 1 challenge to M3, "I drifted to the right and dumped it to bubba. Field was iffy - saw where they spotted it. Standing there waiting and saw the replay.. couldn't see if his knee was down but I thought he had extended the ball further. just needed an inch. at that point in the game it was worth taking the shot."

On his comeback each year - feeling of being one game from Super Bowl, "My mentality is probably dif't than most guys in the lockerroom and myself 10 years ago. Now it's totally different.... these types of seasons are harder to come by than I previously thought. I am closer to retirement. Makes you appreciate it. gotta make the most of the opportunity. We could be 3-13 next year."

On coming back, "I never said I was coming back... not suprised by the reaction. Glad it wasn't a distraction."

[Packers4Ever]

The Packs "D" needs to step up to playoff intensity.

It's gonna be three heart-wrenching hours for me. I love it.

I would say the first hour was GUT wrenching, after that it was
pretty much downhill. So many contributed, Grant of course, and Favre was
a star, looking really good - but how about that solid defense, the whole secondary was outstanding and hasn't Atari Bigby grown up?

[KYPack]

Yer right, RG.

Today was different. His coverage was much better on the slow track.

If we have to got to Texas, he's still a problem child, but he's learnin'.

Too funny. There were some people understandably overreacting. It sure looked like a great season might be going down the drain. Glad the team kept their cool.

[b bulldog]

Good one Lurker

[swede]

Fun game thread, Rats!

The team took us on a roller coaster today.

I'm so proud of Bigby! And he had an AWESOME defended pass where he tomahawked the ball out of receiver's hands from behind just as the ball arrived.

When Seattle's #18 dropped the ball on the critical 3rd down that would have put them into position to tie the game I slammed the table and yelled so loud I caused a panic among the rest of the family watching in another room. That drop was caused by Bigby's previous big hits--the guy was hearing footsteps--and the receiver STILL got got a face full 0f #20.

What a day to be a Packer fan. Enjoy the glow. Whatever will be will be next week but for today our team created a memory as sweet as 4th and 26 was sour.

[Guiness]

Seahawk facemask and NO call ?


Who said the officials are profesionals and will not avenge/remember hurting one of theirs ?


I'd clean forgotten Bearman showed a bit of empathy!!! :P

[HarveyWallbangers]

Why is this team looking like dumb rookies.

Well, McCarthy is a rookie at playoff action and not been part of a winner in the past.

McCarthuy doesn't know how to prepare for the playoffs.

We have to wait for haltime for adjustments.

Some of these are hilarious!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Who would've thought game would be over in under 5 min of play?

This is so fucking sad.

Sorry, Fosco!

Yeah - that was way over the top. In the postgame, even Favre said he wasn't optimistic -- I've just had this weird intuitiion that the Packers should always kickoff to start the game....

[HarveyWallbangers]

Judgement call ! ? :shock:

Bearman first shows up at 14-0. I'm betting that he doesn't make a post after halftime--if he makes it that far.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Oops. I wasn't wearing my lucky GBP baseball cap and sweatshirt! Problem solved. Smooth sailing from here on out. My bad........

It was. Apparently, Willard and his GBP cap controls the fate of the Pack.

[BallHawk]

I always think the team that wins the toss should kick. If the unforeseen happens you are giving them a huge momentum boost, as we saw today. Kick, let them score on you, and see what happens. If you stop them and then you score, fantastic. If they score, oh well, you get a chance to make it up in the 2nd half.

[Bretsky]

I think the Packers are going to kick ass today. Bigby is going to crush somebody. Kampman is going to have a monster day. Jennings is going to make a big play. Driver is going to get his chances with Trufant one on one. Grant is going to have an inconsistant day, but he'll break enough big ones to change the game.

Good calls

[Partial]

Very solid, solid game. Packers dominated from 6 minutes in until the 4th quarter when they let up a bit.

Favre looked sharp as a tack. Jennings looked like a true play maker. Grant ran hard. The OL was simply incredible. Kudos to Colledge and Spitz. Chuck Woodson was rarely tested due to excellent coverage. Tramon Williams looks like a good DB.

I am still a bit concerned by the amount of pressure we got on Hasselback. That needs to improve next week.

[Bretsky]

Realistic. 0.5% of the entire season was played by 10 points or more down. We spot them 14 and have 2 turnovers on 2 possessions.

Don't know the %'s - but I'd be willing to bet there's only a few in a hundred games that could be turned around after this start.


Add one more to the few :wink:

[RashanGary]

I was scared shitless after those penalties. I was thinking "ah well, if we lose, it's a young team and they can come back stronger next year".

Then at times I was saying "It wouldn't be so bad but Seattle is holding on to the ball the right way. If they were one arming it too, it wouldn't burn me so bad". I think a said "they deserve to lose if they lose this" and "our chances of winning are slim right now".



That was an ugly way to start that game. Packers ended up pounding them 42 - 6 after they gave them 14.

Most impressive game of the year. Great coaching. Great everything. I didn't think the Packers could thoroughly dominate like that.

[Bretsky]

Hopefully all the Rats that are there are yelling their butts off

Action Jackson is making a show today!!

He ran hard today. I was very impressed. Maybe that Thompson guy did alright after all :lol:

[RashanGary]

Thanks B. That really does help IMO.

[RashanGary]

Jackson has looked good lately. I was hoping they took Grant out earlier just so he would be fresher next week. We do get an extra day though. That is a nice little advantage.

[Partial]

Bigby's play really set the tone. His contribution was immense.

Look, I don't want to be a contrarian, however, Bigby can lay a hard hit, but he couldn't cover with a blanket and a 10 yard head start.

This offseason, if he can improve his coverage skills I'm there with you, if he can't, it's just a matter of time before he becomes a major liability.

I thought he played pretty decently in coverage today. He didn't make any plays but I don't think he was thrown on too often. That is a good thing. He definitely set the tone today.

[Partial]

That underhanded stumbling toss to Lee was vintage Brett Favre and why he is one of the all time best.

[Bretsky]

Seattles D should be wearing down. Grant could get 150-175 today


good call

[HarveyWallbangers]

That underhanded stumbling toss to Lee was vintage Brett Favre and why he is one of the all time best.

I've said this before, but I'll say it again. Some think Favre is the best QB ever. Most would probably say top 5 (that would include me). Some say he's overrated and not in the top 5 or even top 10. Regardless, I'm not sure there's been a more entertaining QB. It's why he'll go down as one of the most beloved players in league history (along with his personal tragedies and triumphs).

[Bretsky]

I have no voice left

Thanks B. That really does help IMO.


After Green Bay scored and was down 14-7, the crowd was the loudest I've ever heard it. Hasselbeck couldn't hear a thing; he was running back and forth screaming to his players because they could not hear him. It was nuts. The crowd was really into it; we were standing almost the whole game.

[RashanGary]

That was one of the best games I ever remember Favre playing. His stats were not through the roof, but he didn't make a single mistake, didn't miss a throw and still managed to mix in a few "WOW, I can't believe he did that" plays. Truely GREAT game by Favre. As good as Bigby and Grant played for stretches, we had true HOF QB play today and that was the difference. A QB cannot play any better than he played IMO. I really can't say enough about how he played.


Then the way he went to Grant after the fumbles and told him that he had been there himself and just to keep his head up. Great leadership right there. The whole team just rallied behind Grant and wanted to make it OK for their teammate not blame their teammate, starting with FAvre.

Everything about this season is special. Whereever it goes from here, it's just icing on the cake. This has been a blast to watch.

[Fosco33]

I always think the team that wins the toss should kick. If the unforeseen happens you are giving them a huge momentum boost, as we saw today. Kick, let them score on you, and see what happens. If you stop them and then you score, fantastic. If they score, oh well, you get a chance to make it up in the 2nd half.

I like kicking off in general - not always the team's choice.

In 07, Pack kicked off 11 times (65%) and were 10-1 in those contests. When receiving the ball to start the 2nd half, the Pack got 3 FGs, 4 TDs on those drives (along with three punts and an INT).

When the Packers received the ball to start the game, they were 4-2. To start the 2nd half on Defense, the Pack gave up one TD, one FG but did get 2 punts, 1 INT and a turnover on downs.

When we won the coin toss and elected to receive, I was already pissed (first game without smoking cigs in 4 years). Then to fumble and give a 2 yr TD and then fumble again (and give up another quick TD - 6 plays/50 yards), I thought the game was over.... :oops:

Very glad I was soooo wrong.

That being said, I still prefer to Kickoff to start games.

[Partial]

I like to kickoff as well.

[RashanGary]

I love some of MM's quotes

"I thought we put our best foot forward". . . . NO SHIT, Mike, we sort of saw that.


"Atary played a physical game". . . . hahaha, no shit, Mike. He was a freaking killer out there.


It's just funny. You'd think he'd be like "Wow, I can't even believe we kicked their ass that bad"

Or "Atari lit them up. They clearly looked scared of him" or something a little more worthy of what acctually happened. His descriptions are just funny because they are so low key and what happened was so amazing.

[RashanGary]

These interviews are priceless. I'm laughing hystarically.

Jennings is like "I'm pretty sure they sensed the momentum change too. We just methodically moved the ball at will"

Its' just funny to hear them describe an ass kicking. It's almost nice but what they are acctually saying is embarassing for Seattle.

[Fosco33]

These interviews are priceless. I'm laughing hystarically.

Jennings is like "I'm pretty sure they sensed the momentum change too. We just methodically moved the ball at will"

Grant needs another drive like that to get to even in my book.

Grant busts a 40+'er today, he's been close on several occasions already.

After nearly giving the season away - he better have a tremendous rest of the game.

He did get that 40+er - and he did have a tremendous recovery. Wonder how his career would've went if the Pack went on to lose this one....

I think it was all a light-hearted attempt to poke fun at fandom. We (pretty much all of us) tend to panic way to early. You just had a particularly poetic example of the phenomenon, but if you read up from where Bretsky made that post, you notice that there are others that are very similar that are being poked at.

I don't think any offense was intended, it was just a reminder to laugh at ourselves and our fandom sometimes.

I think you're right but B had 20+ post of mine to pick from last night - I think we have a history.

I am still so happy from last night and still am. I NEVER do as B does/did.

That post was with the score 14-0 Seattle and my pregame hunch was that the quick starting team would probably win it.

Denmark- I'm just as emotional and was very disappointed with the start. When they announcers through that stat out there about 99.5% of all the minutes in the season being better - I wasn't optimistic.

Take it as a light jab and enjoy it. No matter what - nothing anyone of us does/says/thinks/prays is going to change the outcome of the game... Bretsky/Harv/et all are a big part of the reason why this forum is successful.

And take a look at the previous page of this thread - I decided to skip dinner and tried eating a crow myself. Doesn't taste like chicken 8-)

[SeahawkDude]

Oops. I wasn't wearing my lucky GBP baseball cap and sweatshirt! Problem solved. Smooth sailing from here on out. My bad........


THAT'S IT!....THAT'S why the Seahawks lost!

Congratulations Pack fans. Your team showed a lot by getting off the mat and playing well. They could go all the way. As far as the play of the Seahawks, we should have put on a more positive showing I think. Grasping at excuses, I believe had the footing been better, maybe we'd have only lost by 15 points instead of 22. :) Don't really care if Holmgren leaves now. Maybe assistant coach Jim Mora Jr could take over.

Seahawk - what is the general opinion about Holmgren coming back? Do you guys want him to stay another year?

I know during his last tenure in GB many were ready for him to move on. We all love what he did was this organization, but it was time to cut the ties.

BTW, kudos for coming back here. This is a great forum, we'd love for you to stick around ! I even have an extra Favre jersey for you to wear for next week's game :wink:

ENORMOUS GAME!!

Never been prouder to be a Packer fan.

NEXT????!!!

PACKERS FOREVER!

A virtual jersey or a real one? :D As far as Holmgren, it might be time for some new blood. You guys have any feelings about Mora one way or the other? He'll probably have a rule against players getting involved in dogfighting, but I think they'll be OK with that. :)

[Joemailman]

He'll probably ask his dad, "You think we have a shot at The Playoffs?!

[GBRulz]

I can't think of Mora and not think of his "playoffs, you kidding me, don't talk about playoffs" press conference!

brought to you in part by Coors Light!

But I don't know much about his son, lol !

Wow - classy :bow: I hope the best for your Seahawks in the future sans vs my Packers :D

Hey, props from coming back. One day is pretty quick for an opposing team's fan to come back after a loss. Bearman usually hibernates for a couple months to make his return. :lol:

I will say this, looking across all of the Seahawks forums you've got a great bunch of fans. None of them are making excuses or blaming the refs (which I'm sure they have experience doing :wink: .) The consensus is "yeah, maybe we would of done better if it wasn't for the snow, but we were outplayed." To add to it, most 'Hawks fans are saying they're going to be rooting for the Pack here on out. :glug:

Finally! Somebody gives me the credit I so richly deserve! I will never take off my "hoody" again. Kind of like that kid in CT. I don't care what it does to my career....or my love life.....oh, who am I kidding?.... :oops: :wink:

[Lurker64]

I just figure we'll have to beat whoever it is wins this next game.

[SeahawkDude]

Thanks all. You folks have been gracious. I'm trying to regain my enthusiasm for football by watching the SD/IND game. The NFL is the greatest sport in the world so by next week I should be back to cheering on one team or the other. Might be the Pack.

[MJZiggy]

No one will bring back the excitement for you like Brett Favre...

You are full of BS ! Beside, Da BEARS whooped your pack TWICE this year ! So I am not going anywhere this season ! I am waiting to see if the reffs calls make your pack lose the next one tho ! :shock:

That's a hell of a strategy you have there. Hope the refs make the Pack lose. :roll: :lol:

You didn't see all the bad calls or non calls going against the pack yesterday ?

[woodbuck27]

Naaaaa.

Yup ' bolts to nuts' whoever. . . let's get prepared and just do it again.

We're going to the Super Bowl.

PACKERS FOREVER.

It was snowing kinda hard for most of the game, hard to see a lot of things.

Screw you! I gave you credit a couple of pages before he did.
