Packers vs. Titans game thread

[digitaldean]

Hey, I'm on my lunch break at work, didn't see a game thread started, so let's get it rolling. Obviously the most uneventful of all 4 preseason games.

I think we need to see more out of our d-line plus better tackling. Like to see Grant get some extra touches to get up to speed for next week, but for safety's sake, don't think that's to likely.

[boiga]

I don't know, this is the game in which the backups will ultimately win or lose their spot on the roster. Our only hope to win this game is if our backups play their hearts out, so I'm rooting for them.

I'm expecting big games out of Lumpkin, Taj Smith (he's the guy I want to earn that 6th WR spot), Rouse and Blackmon. Also, Jordy needs to score some points today.

And we'll finally get to see just how rusty Grant is after being out of team practice all summer. A lot of our offense will depend on his skills so we better hope that he'll hold up.

[Gunakor]

The keys to this game are just stay healthy and figure out who the best 53 are. If we do that then I really don't care whether we win or lose this one.

[Guiness]

You're right on boiga. The guy's on the bubble are looking at this game as make or break. Lumpkin, Rouse and Bush in particular, IMO. Maybe a guy like Montgommery too, if Thompson is breathing down his neck.

I'm also looking forward to some carries by Grant, and seeing Jolly in there a bit.

There's no way that Rouse is on the bubble, he's on the team. Collins and Bigby are dinged and there's reason to believe that Rouse might actually be better than one of the two. Rouse is just the #1 backup safety, there's nobody else that's even close to him in that role.

Also, does anybody have a stream for those of us without NFLN who aren't living in Wisconsin or Tennessee?

I agree that he's not on the bubble, but if he plays hard enough he might earn that starting spot tonight. If Bigby or Collins miss 1 or 2 games from their injuries and Rouse is lights out, they might not have a spot open for them when they come back.

He's got as much reason to prove his worth as anyone.

[Rastak]

Wow, what a dead gameday thread. I can see why, these last preseason agmes are glorified scrimages, although if I heard correctly the Titans are playing their starters for an entire half. In an hour the vikings are playing and they indicated the starters wouldn't play at all.

[Guiness]

The troll is the only poster! Closet GB fan...

Apparently Tenn's going to send its starters out to start the 3rd quarter! If we play the 2 or 3 series expected, I imagine we're going to get killed.

You have to install sopcast and another program, I believe, because this is an IE Only stream.

I can't be bothered to do it.

[Rastak]

That was fast.


Yikes.

[The Gunshooter]

Pitch and catch.

[PackerTimer]

Damnit, I couldn't watch it. I don't have the software installed yet.

[BallHawk]

Nice.

[Guiness]

68 yarder I believe?

Dangerous throw...

[Spaulding]

Connection appears to be brutally slow - still waiting for feed to stream and took forever to render the website in the first place.

Anybody having any luck with channelsurfing website?

The channelsurfing site is working for me. The connection is a tad choppy, but still pretty decent.

Will do. Actually been watching Battlestar Galactica, the original series lately. Quite enjoying it. I can't believe it only ran for one season originally!

Also reading The Mortal Instruments trilogy by Cassandra Clare. More teen targeted, but I'm enjoying it.

Anyone for tennis lol?

[Brando19]

Can't get the channel surfing to work for me....the window pops up like it's loading, but there's a red X in the left top corner...oh well.

[Iron Mike]

Nice job on the pursuit, Barnett. :roll:

[CaliforniaCheez]

Nick Collins has not lived up to draft hype.

Rouse should start opening day.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Jolly missed a tackle for a sack and gives up a first down.

[Guiness]

Really bad containment on that run by Young.

[pack4to84]

nice to hold them for field goal

[CaliforniaCheez]

Can't get the channel surfing to work for me....the window pops up like it's loading, but there's a red X in the left top corner...oh well.

Keep trying.

[The Gunshooter]

Good thing Young sucks.

[The Gunshooter]

Last year I said i wouldn't trade Rodgers for yOUNG AND I GOT LAUGHED AT!

[CaliforniaCheez]

Nick Collins still looks like a rookie.

[FavreChild]

Can't get the channel surfing to work for me....the window pops up like it's loading, but there's a red X in the left top corner...oh well.

I had that originally, too. First of all, you have to use internet explorer. Then I had to download sopcast (the channelsurfing site provide you with some links at the top of the page). It was really fast to download.

[pack4to84]

Last year I said i wouldn't trade Rodgers for yOUNG AND I GOT LAUGHED AT!I wouldn't trade Rodgers for Favre either.

[Iron Mike]

Show me something, Brohm!!!

[pack4to84]

nice easy play for Brohm

[CaliforniaCheez]

Show me something, Brohm!!!

Show me something D-line!

[Iron Mike]

Orange Junius sighting at C.

[The Gunshooter]

Brohm looks like he never took a snap in his life.

[pack4to84]

nice angle punt

[Guiness]

on a related note, Favre didn't play tonight either

wtf? Even the starting OL is out. Why???

[Guiness]

no gamecenter at sportsline. They have the game starting an hour late!

[pack4to84]

beautiful break up by Williams

[Iron Mike]

T Will gotz da skillz. 8-)

[pack4to84]

what a play by Hodge

[Guiness]

way to turn around and spot the ball TWill

[pack4to84]

nice blitz call by DC very good pressure by back players vs there starters

[gex]

Hodge looks huge

[Chevelle2]

Last year I said i wouldn't trade Rodgers for yOUNG AND I GOT LAUGHED AT!I wouldn't trade Rodgers for Favre either.

Let is go :roll:

[Chevelle2]

Brohm is keeping the dream alive!

:lol:

[pack4to84]

what a punt 59 yard

[boiga]

The channelsurfing site seems to be down, but if anyone want's to listen to it online, here's the wtmj audio feed: http://www.620wtmj.com/home/ondemand/7442381.html

Better punt team work the second time around.

[Pugger]

I can't get that darn stream either and I can watch the regular season games so I'm not gonna bother now. The last I saw it was 7-3 Pack over Titans - any change?

[Brando19]

YES! I got the channelsurfing stream to work. Thanks for the tips, people.

[pack4to84]

big stop by Bishop

[pack4to84]

big hit on Young by Bishop

[CaliforniaCheez]

YES! I got the channelsurfing stream to work. Thanks for the tips, people.

Working fine.

[Fred's Slacks]

Unless they feel they can go with out White on specials, they have to keep 7 LB's. You can't cut Hodge or Bishop the way they've played. Unless they think they can cut Chillar, but I doubt it.

[pack4to84]

pass interference on Bush

[Iron Mike]

Bush kicks ass. :roll:

[Guiness]

Montgomery at DT? An experiment, or just filling a hole?

[boiga]

Dang it bush... do you want to stay on this team or not?

[pack4to84]

Montgomery at DT? An experiment, or just filling a hole?both

[Iron Mike]

Nice lick, Hodge. :P

[CaliforniaCheez]

Will the Packers score more points before the 4th QTR??

[Rastak]

Nice lick, Hodge. :P

I only have gamecast, who was he licking?

[pack4to84]

95 knocked down Young nice stop D

[Fred's Slacks]

Will the Packers score more points before the 4th QTR??

Not with Brohm behind center. I hope I'm wrong.

[Iron Mike]

Nice lick, Hodge. :P

I only have gamecast, who was he licking?

Joe.

[boiga]

Dang... the Titans stink.

6 points in the 1st half against our scrubs.....

[pack4to84]

Will the Packers score more points before the 4th QTR??

Not with Brohm behind center. I hope I'm wrong.He looks like a High School QB trying out for the NFL

[Iron Mike]

Did anybody see that last Citgo comercial?

[Iron Mike]

Where the hell are the Bikini Girls?? :wink:

[pack4to84]

Flynn is in

[pbmax]

So what have I missed besides a long Jennings TD?

[Fred's Slacks]

Will the Packers score more points before the 4th QTR??

Yeah, I'm not giving up on him yet but he has not looked good. If he still looks like this next preseason then I'll lose hope.

[CaliforniaCheez]

So what have I missed besides a long Jennings TD?

That's funny!

[imscott72]

Is the channelsurfing connection real bad for anyone else? I can't keep it going. Too choppy.

[Fred's Slacks]

Did Grant get a carry? Or did he leave with the rest of the starters?

[pack4to84]

Did Grant get a carry? Or did he leave with the rest of the starters?Rodgers to Jennings only offense of play with starters

[boiga]

Is it just me or have we been having a bad streak of late hit penalties this preseason?

[pack4to84]

96 and 95 sacked young

[boiga]

Muir and Montgomery. Our scrub D-line came out mean tonight.

[Iron Mike]

So what have I missed besides a long Jennings TD?

Our second team D is containing the Titans' first team O.

Ditto..From the little I've seen it seems Bishop is having a helluva night against Tenn's #1's.

[pack4to84]

nice play Williams wouldnt let him get the 1st down

[CaliforniaCheez]

Is the channelsurfing connection real bad for anyone else? I can't keep it going. Too choppy.

It is choppy but when you are in California you can't complain too much.

[Iron Mike]

Facemask.

[boiga]

penalties are flying like crazy.

Al Harris is still in? And what's he doing pulling face masks...?

Flynn Fumble... Second team D is looking much better than the second team O.

[pack4to84]

What pressure nearly a sack

[Rastak]

Are the network stations covering the game in Milwaukee and Green bay in high def?

[pack4to84]

batted down Blackman

[pack4to84]

fake punt TD titans

[boiga]

Go Blackmon to end that drive!

Edit.... never mind that....

How bad were they beat on that trick play???

Titans ran a trick play on 4th down that got them a TD. Fancy stuff for preseason.

[pack4to84]

[HarveyWallbangers]

So, they have starters against backups and do a ST fake also? Cheaters.
:D

In Minnesota the Communist National party convention has relegated the Vikes to standard def..........

Orrin thompson just lost his roster spot on that fumble.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Keep it close until we can get the third stringers against the second stringers. Then, make a late comeback. Actually, that probably won't work. Our backup QBs make it hard to even function offensively.
:(

[pack4to84]

nice stop D

[pbmax]

Conrad Bolston got huge penetration on the first play of this current drive. Nice play by him on 1st down. Drove the guard or center two yards deep.

[Rastak]

Oh who cares, on the Vikes side it's practically a scrimmage...(Pack too)I know you are kidding but man, these last games really really suck.


They need to shorten the pre-season and make the regular one longer.

[mmmdk]

No more Tennessee in pre-season - PLEASE!

[Fred's Slacks]

:(

Yeah, I wish they were at least getting some good experience. Instead, they go 3 and out and watch the other team put together a drive.

[Brando19]

We can always trade for Favre.

[pack4to84]

nice return Lee

[pbmax]

OK, i believe it now . Pat Lee, with two different decisions, one on each of the last two returns, would have two return TDs. He looks phenomenal.

[Fred's Slacks]

Most games it's backups vs. backups in this game. At least, the Vikings have a fighting chance. This is just a waste of time. I know it's good to evaluate guys, but for the fan it's practically worthless.

[boiga]

Yeah, it looks like Lee should be our starting kick returner. He's the most expendable and he's got speed and skills.

Yea, agree completely it means nothing for a fan. Moreso for Pack fans but at least you can evaluate scrubs against #1's and forget the score. Backups vs backups across the board doesn't mean shit. Man, I still say both the Vikies and the Packers games are pretty much scrimmages.

[pbmax]

Actually, Harv, I think we can see who is ready to play at this level. Maybe not the best evaluation tool, but some guys look like they belong. I know that sounds like soft logic, but Nelson, Lee, Bishop and White all look like keepers even against the 1s.

They might be freelancing and levaing teammates hanging out to drive, but the speed of the game doesn't faze them.

[Rastak]

Brohm vs Booty



Brohm wins by a nose.

[pack4to84]

good news bears starters getting wacked 10-0

[Rastak]

BTW, I'll shut up about the game I'm watching if you guys would like.

[HarveyWallbangers]

We've played the Titans in preseason week 4 several years in a row.

2007 - Tennessee 30, Green Bay 14
2006 - Tennessee 35, Green Bay 21
2005 - Green Bay 21, Tennessee 17 (how did this happen? ARod had a big game)
2004 - Tennessee 27, Green Bay 7
2003 - Tennessee 27, Green Bay 3

Average score - Tennessee 27, Green Bay 13

[boiga]

The Titans really look like they want this one more than we do. I'm okay with this though. Guys like Lumpkin, Rouse, Lee and Nelson get to prove they have what it takes to play at this level. The guys we're cutting next week are stinking it up, but it's good for everyone else.

Except of course for Flynn and Brohm. They have almost no chance to salvage this game considering the lack of protection and limited receiving options.

Edit: in other words, I agree with pbmax.

[pack4to84]

Brohm vs Booty



Brohm wins by a nose.So your saying Brohm's nose is longer

[pack4to84]

Yea, either that or he's slightly better this preseason.

[CaliforniaCheez]

The team just deflated with the second fumble.

After that guys just stopped playing hard. They look discouraged.

Hanging their heads like losers.

I don't mind necessarily, but I don't like to see the Packers get whalloped--even in the most meaningless preseason game ever. Good evaluation for the defense, I guess. Not so much the offense--because we barely run any plays.

[pack4to84]

[Iron Mike]

I'd like to see M3 rock out to the TP a little, wouldn't you?

[boiga]

Coston heading to locker room Shame for him. There goes his chance to make the team. An injury pay out for his release might be his best option at this point.

[HarveyWallbangers]

2007 - Tennessee 30, Green Bay 14
2006 - Tennessee 35, Green Bay 21

2004 - Tennessee 27, Green Bay 7
2003 - Tennessee 27, Green Bay 3

Kind of ironic that the only year we beat them, we sucked. The other year we got closest, we went 8-8. Good karma to get blown out by the Titans, I guess.
:D

Vikings actually started their 3rd string QB so I'm not sure they even have that.

[pack4to84]

Hodge still on the field

[pbmax]

Not that it means much but the replay review got the play right.

And good hit on the QB.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Vikings actually started their 3rd string QB so I'm not sure they even have that.

So did the Cowboys. Some guy named R. Bartell. I thought he was a corner for the Rams.

personal foul on Titans

[pbmax]

Looked like Frankie Bag O Doughnuts on that one.

[pack4to84]

no good

[pack4to84]

miss field goal

[boiga]

The WTMJ guys just mentioned that the Packers 2nd D is getting a bunch of great practice at redzone defense.

Titans can't catch a break.

[pack4to84]

The WTMJ guys just mentioned that the Packers 2nd D is getting a bunch of great practice at redzone defense.4 times in the redzone with 3 field goals and no TD's that is it. nicely done D.

[Guiness]

Our 2nd team D held them out of the endzone on a first and goal. Nice.

edit: held them pointless - kicker hit the upright!

[pbmax]

I don't know if Brohm has changed his cadence or just not practiced much with this line, but every snap teh O lineman move at a different time than Brohm does.

[Rastak]

It sucks for the fans but good for the second team defense. In reality, score means nothing and should benefit Green Bay.

[mmmdk]

ouch...Lumpkin -5 yards. Bad OL??? I think McCarthy keeps the safer RB, either Morency or Herron. Hope not though.

[Guiness]

what's everyone's thought on the starters playing 1 play?

I know the idea is to give them 1 or 2 series, but if a series goes 1 play, you still pull them??? If you bother dressing and warming them up, isn't it because there are a couple of plays you'd like to run?

I thought it was goofy but then I thought the Vikings starting a 3rd string QB and the rest second string was kinda dumb. Green bay and Minnesota have an eleven day break. I guess they both have injuries but it still seems odd.

I thought that was fine. The offense showed dominance for one play. Keeping them in the game couldn't have possibly made them look any better and risks injuries.

So, is it just me or do we have to find a way to keep both Hodge and Bishop on this team?

what's everyone's thought on the starters playing 1 play?

I know the idea is to give them 1 or 2 series, but if a series goes 1 play, you still pull them??? If you bother dressing and warming them up, isn't it because there are a couple of plays you'd like to run?

I thought that was fine. The offense showed dominance for one play. Keeping them in the game couldn't have possibly made them look any better and risks injuries.

So, is it just me or do we have to find a way to keep both Hodge and Bishop on this team?

I was going to post this in a new thread as one of my predictions, but I'll first post here. After the initial cuts to 53, the Packers always have an unbalanced roster. I see them carrying 7 LBs after those cuts, and then they'll try to trade White, Bishop, or Hodge after that. Or, if they see a good prospect at another position (DT, for instance), they'll cut one after the initial cuts.

Kerry Collins!

I feel like I've been Rick Rolled!

Who jumped that route on third down?

[boiga]

Ouch, Titans are rolling.

[pbmax]

Its fixed now, earlier the camera was off to the left and was at a 45 degree angle.



This link works in Firefox and you have to see it to believe it. Its the Packers game, but it must be an artistic statement to present it this way. Safe for all viewers.

who the hell is scorpio beaver?

[Tony Oday]

it actually looks ok

[pbmax]

Agreed, especially for positions where the cuts would never make it through waivers to the practice squad.

Nice move Hodge.

Our Red Zone D has been great.

Edit: Bush lost containment on 4th down though. Shame.

[pbmax]

Not so much with a corner blitz and a wheel route.

[Guiness]

bad coverage by Lee. Left a huge cushion - he has to learn from that.

Wow - nice play by Hodge. Agreed they have to keep him

[pbmax]

[superfan]

Just checking out the game - according to Yahoo's boxscore, Tennessee has attmpted 31 passes to our 5, and 30 rushes to our 13. Is that right? Have we really only run 18 plays to their 61?

Brohm, Flynn and the second string O-line have been bad against the Titans starters.

Hey, what up Superfan!


Yea, Packers struck gold early and then the second team came in and the Titans played starters vs backups. Nothing offensively since then.

[superfan]

Thanks, Cheez. So Rodgers went 1 for 1 with the bomb to Jennings - please tell me he didn't get hurt and Brohm took his place because of injury.

[pbmax]

I think Jereny Thompson got that deflection off Collins

Hi Ras,

Looking unlikely that we will get to watch a preseason game together this year. :)

Pulled after one play.

[pbmax]

No, I have it on TV. Thought the comment timing looked like you might be a play or two behind. :D

Yup!

Maybe a regular one.

[Guiness]

good wheels by Culver.

Good adjustment to the ball to get it, too. Just saw the replay, nice play by Thompson, too.

[pbmax]

No, they went right to the backups and Brohm esp. and Flynn have struggled passing and the backup O Line couldn't handle Haynesworth and Va Der Bosch. So they were three and out or turnover each time.


Thanks, Cheez. So Rodgers went 1 for 1 with the bomb to Jennings - please tell me he didn't get hurt and Brohm took his place because of injury.

[Iron Mike]

Lumpkin's Lambeau Leap was pretty weak. :shock:

[CaliforniaCheez]

If Vince Young didn't suck the Titans would have 40 points.


Packer back up QB's have shown nothing all preseason and are a serious weak spot of the team.

[motife]

wow. 23 to 15.

[BallHawk]

Lumpkin's career depends on whether he scores a TD here.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Superfan,

You might want to check out my post from earlier.
:D



2007 - Tennessee 30, Green Bay 14
2006 - Tennessee 35, Green Bay 21
2005 - Green Bay 21, Tennessee 17 (how did this happen? ARod had a big game)
2004 - Tennessee 27, Green Bay 7
2003 - Tennessee 27, Green Bay 3

Kind of ironic that the only year we beat them, we sucked. The other year we got closest, we went 8-8. Good karma to get blown out by the Titans, I guess.
:D

[superfan]

Maybe a regular one.

Yeah, we should get together for one this year. Your squad doing anything notable tonight?

[BallHawk]

Nope, went to Swain.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Flynn is now the 2nd string QB.

[HarveyWallbangers]

All of those games were played week 4 of the preseason.

[pbmax]

The 2nd string D actually made some plays and had three red zone stands that went well. But eventually they were put into too many bad situations and gave up TDs. Also some bad third down defense.

Then Lumpkin for the 2pt conversion. Both did a Lambeau Leap :)

Not really. Booty starting to look a bit better but he's 3rd string. I can't tell a thing from this game.


edit: Bobby Wade played more than usual and didn't show much...looked better earlier in the pre-season.

[pbmax]

Bush didn't see that handoff did he? Lasagna back in the game!

[superfan]

Superfan,

You might want to check out my post from earlier.
:D

Funny, I had the general thought earlier that we always lose to Tennessee in the preseason, but this makes it specific.

Close circuit to Harvey, just responded to your e-mail(s).

[motife]

what's Aaron Rodgers passer rating?

[superfan]

Anybody who is watching this game feel inclined to post some preliminary Winners/Losers?

[CaliforniaCheez]

Anyone think Porter is a practice squader??

[superfan]

what's Aaron Rodgers passer rating?

1 for 1 with a 68 yard TD? If that isn't perfect, I don't know what is. 153 something or whatever a perfect rating is.

[motife]

Winners :

Abdul Hodge
Jason Hunter
Desmond Bishop
Will Blackmon
Tramon Williams
Jeremy Thompson

[pbmax]

Flynn over Brohm. Bishop, Jennings, T Williams, Lumpkin have done well.

The Bad: Brohm, Swain, Coston got hurt

[Bretsky]

Orange Juice getting hurt is the best way to give that POS a wage this year; he's probably lucky to be placed on the IR :lol:

[pbmax]

Have we seen much Morency or B Jackson?

Does that mean they have made it? Has it all been Herron and Lumpkin?

[pbmax]

That's the acting we need from Brohm in this quarter so we can stash him and sign a vet.

Sounds good to me. We need a roster spot for a veteran QB.

[pbmax]

What the hell is up with Brohm and the count/cadence? Its been off all night.

[CaliforniaCheez]

What is your opinion on Hunter??

Anyone thinks he makes the roster? Hodge may have stole his spot.

[pbmax]

I would not oppose it now. Brohm has been lost and Flynn is just a notch better. If not, Flynn needs to be #2.

I think Hunter and Montgomery both make it. Hodge may have stolen White's spot.

[pbmax]

Unless they do something else or KGB heals, he is your fifth lineman. He is the rush RDE, isn't he?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Broncos' Brandon Marshall has suspension reduced to single game

Awesome. I got him in my most important league.

[Guiness]

Anybody who is watching this game feel inclined to post some preliminary Winners/Losers?

Winners
Hodge/Bishop: these two LB's played lights out tonight.
TWill: some good coverage
Havner: nice ST tackles.
Jennings and Rodgers!
Ryan: averaging over 50yds, I think


Losers
Swain: Fair caught a punt and there was no one near him. 1 bad drop, another that will probably be called a drop
Bush: a couple of good plays, but a bad penalty, and allowed a long 4th down completion
Brohm: looked like he didn't belong. Just got sacked as I'm typing this
Lumpkin: needed to do something to stick, but didn't. In him defense, he was running against Haynesworth and Van Der Bosch behind a 2nd string OL

Overall more losers than winners, but it was mostly our backups playing against their starters, so we looked bad. A lot of 3 and outs on O, making for a tired D.

I'm not afraid to draft anyone. Hell, I just trade Steven Jackson and Antonio Gates for Adrian Peterson and Chris Cooley.

Indeed.

Ingle Martin might be better than Brohm right now. Ugh!

You have Peterson? Taylor is an absolute must and you will not be sorry.


I don't trust he'll be healthy all year. (Peterson)

[CaliforniaCheez]

Looking back with perfect hindsight....


If the Packers had drafted Brady Quinn instead of Harrell and then there would be no need to trade Corey Williams.

Just a thought.

[pbmax]

Yes there would have because Williams wasn't going to play for the tender and he wasn't worth a top line DT contract.

[Rastak]

So is the Packer game a Madtown standoff now?

[superfan]

Thanks to all for your winners/losers. Sounds like Williams will be a good nickel back, Bush might be cut (never liked him much anyway), and Brohm continues to be outplayed by Flynn.

[esoxx]

That's going to be a huge fine against Ball on that hit to Brohm. Led with his helmet right into the side of his head. Of course no flag though.

[pbmax]

Yes. Brohm is still in a different time zone from his O Line on the snap count.

No fair going after my Badger homerism. I need Taylor more in this league.

I love that punter. I don't love the snap.
