Official Packers -vs- Vikings game thread

[Badgerinmaine]

Throw the ball to that man all night. GREG EFFING JENNINGS.

Hey, careful there...our man's the son of a preacher man.

[Gunakor]

Gotta lay out for that one Mr. Lee.

[Brando19]

Hahaha Allen offsides...dork

[imscott72]

Oh damn!! He had Lee!!

[Lurker64]

Aww... at least there was a penatly!

[Rastak]

Bad pass......yikes. jackson one shitty pass, Rodgers one shitty pass.

[Brando19]

Sacked....crap

[ND72]

Just run the FRICKEN ball. seriously....2nd & 2, RUN THE BALL.

[Brando19]

DEFENSIVE HOLDING! Yes...this is gettin good

[imscott72]

dammit! Vikes penalties are saving our asses here..

[Lurker64]

All right! More penalties!

[Rastak]

Too bad, he was one closer to Strahan...... :wink:

[Bretsky]

nice; refs are getting back at the Vikes for all those calls against the Packers earlier :lol:

[mmmdk]

RUN!

[PackerTimer]

Sloppy start for both teams.

[Gunakor]

Good god man...

[imscott72]

Refs are gonna pull muscles yanking all those flags around..Jeez

[Gunakor]

Half the distance from half the distance from...

[Rastak]

Okay, maybe imscott was right.......geez......

[Bretsky]

nother penalty; this might be a five hour game

[Rastak]

Hold shit they blowed that up!

[mmmdk]

RUN!

PASS :shock:

[Gunakor]

You can't run up the middle... throw a pitch and get the back running out wide away from the Williamses...

[PackerTimer]

A lot of the penalties have been for lining up in the neutral zone or for not enough men on the line of scrimmage. These are just stupid mental mistakes by both teams.

[retailguy]

Did colledge simply fall down on that, or what?

[Bretsky]

I THOUGHT ORANGE JUICE WAS OUT FOR THE YEAR ??

[gbgary]

dammit

[Rastak]

3rd and an inch, can they do it!

[ND72]

QB SNEAK

QB SNEAK

QB SNEAK

[Brando19]

TD!!!!!!!!!

[gbgary]

touchdown!!

[PackerTimer]

AROD!!!!!!!! Favre like.

[imscott72]

HALL!! What a throw and catch!!!

[Lurker64]

KOREY HALL! GOD BLESS YOU, YOU FORMER BOISE STATE LINEBACKER YOU!

[rdanomly]

TOUCHDOWN! Good catch Hall.

[mmmdk]

AWESOME RODGERS!!!! :D

[ND72]

THAT was the most painful goal line series I've ever seen in my life.

[Brando19]

TD Mr Rodgers.....he even looked like Brett!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell yeah!

[imscott72]

banggg on the drum all day!!! WOOHOO

[Gunakor]

Good throw, considering he had Vikings on his ankles.

Impressive.

[Bretsky]

TOUCHDOWN TO FULLBACK CROSSING THE END ZONE

NICE PASS :!: :!:

[Rastak]

Nice throw ! Man the Vikes were hitting those guys. Decent coverage too.

[gbgary]

yes...it was brett-like.

[imscott72]

Good throw, considering he had Vikings on his ankles.

Impressive.

Yeah he really hung in there..Impressive indeed..

[mmmdk]

AWESOME HALL!!! :D

[Badgerinmaine]

THAT was the most painful goal line series I've ever seen in my life.
Not for me. They scored. :-)
"You've got to let it go, Tony"

[Brando19]

Favre at home watching on TV: "I could have done that."

[falco]

BRETT WHO ?!?!?!?!

[Charles Woodson]

A-Rods first TD as a starter!!!

[mmmdk]

Favre at home watching on TV: "I could have done that."

:lol:

[falco]

on another note, rodgers won't always be so lucky on those jump balls, hope he doesn't overdo it

[Badgerinmaine]

Nice throw ! Man the Vikes were hitting those guys. Decent coverage too.
Very good coverage.
Anyone have Korey Hall in a "first TD in the Rodgers era" pool? :mrgreen:

[Sparkey]

Falling back, twisting and throwing across his body. WOW

[Lurker64]

on another note, rodgers won't always be so lucky on those jump balls, hope he doesn't overdo it

Really though, what else is he supposed to do in that situation?

[Rastak]

Nice kickoff!

[Badgerinmaine]

All right! More penalties!
Only the United Nations has more flags than this first half. :?

[falco]

All right! More penalties!
Only the United Nations has more flags than this first half. :?

and the crazy vietnam vets house

[gbgary]

All right! More penalties!
Only the United Nations has more flags than this first half. :?

:D

[Carolina_Packer]

I don't get why Kornheiser is constantly insisting that Rodgers is being judged. Who's judging him? I'm not, are you?

He's the quarterback of the Packers, Packer fans want him to do well and Packer opponents want him to do not-so-well. I don't see where the judging is.

He's trying to sell soap, or in this case, GM's, Miller Lite, Wrangler, and Visio TV's. I agree with Jaws that he just needs to let it go. He's got his woodrow on for Brett. Will everything remind him of Brett Favre? Is he contractually obligated to say Brett's name once every 3 comments? It's comical.

[Rastak]

Boy, it looks to me like these guys are close. Rodgers > Jackson so far although Chilly is running the ball play after play. Not sure that is smart.

[Fosco33]

Good god - what a great throw - that replay was so sweet! What a catch - what a start!!

Pack will be fine this year or next...

Come on D - we need you to win this game 8-)

[PackerTimer]

on another note, rodgers won't always be so lucky on those jump balls, hope he doesn't overdo it

Are you talking about the TD? I don't think that was a jump ball at all. On the replay you can see exaclty what Rodgers saw. Hall broke open at the last second and he put where it was either caught by Hall or incomplete. I didn't see much risk of a interception there at all.

[The Gunshooter]

Can't play scared, you gotta let it all hang out.

[falco]

Boy, it looks to me like these guys are close. Rodgers > Jackson so far although Chilly is running the ball play after play. Not sure that is smart.

jackson's receivers suck tho, at least compared to GBs

[Rastak]

Man, either he can't see the open guy or there ain't any.

[gbgary]

yes...more tj passing the ball. that's the ticket.

[Lurker64]

The Defense looks to be playing with some intensity here. Let's hope they can play with both intensity and discipline...

[mmmdk]

LBs playing great.

[Gunakor]

Tee off on him again Kampy

[Charles Woodson]

Damn, side note Nate burleson is out for the year

[Rastak]

damn near....not sure on that call.....I didn't like it.

[ND72]

That is such a horse shit call. He's playing the ball the entire way. BULL SHIT.

[imscott72]

How the fuck is that pass interference?? BULLSHIT..Berrian was pushing him away!!

[PackerTimer]

Questionable. Harris did get his hand in there, but that isn't called very often.

[Lurker64]

Okay, I might be biased... but I don't see where the interference is there at all. That's a terrible call. Can someone tell me where it was?

[gbgary]

that was offensive int.

[Charles Woodson]

Awful pass, lol

[mmmdk]

Al sucks on this play...arm grapping ain't smart. Getting too old?

[Rastak]

How the fuck is that pass interference?? BULLSHIT..Berrian was pushing him away!!


Bullshit on that....it was a bad call though...man you got green glasses on!

[Gunakor]

that was offensive int.

No it wasn't... it was football. No flag should have been thrown.

[falco]

and you want chilly to call more pass plays ????

[Fosco33]

stupid fing zebras... let 'em play!

[retailguy]

that was offensive int.

what? :shock:

I'm a homer, but c'mon!

[imscott72]

the front seven is really kicking ass so far..

[Brando19]

stupid fing zebras... let 'em play!


Now now...lets not be racist. :lol:

[PackerTimer]

that was offensive int.

No it wasn't... it was football. No flag should have been thrown.

I agree. No call would have been correct.

[Gunakor]

Our defense is stepping up to the challenge all of a sudden.

[Rastak]

and you want chilly to call more pass plays ????


Yes, if they can do a bit of pass protecting. No team can be one dimensional.

[mmmdk]

Okay, I might be biased... but I don't see where the interference is there at all. That's a terrible call. Can someone tell me where it was?

arm tangle - good call.

[Brando19]

Bigby!!!!!!!!

[PackerTimer]

Nice tackle.

[gbgary]

that was offensive int.

what? :shock:

I'm a homer, but c'mon!

looked to me like he was holding al's arm down.

[Lurker64]

Nice open field tackle by Bigby there.

[imscott72]

great open field tackle Atari!

[Charles Woodson]

Great stop

[Lurker64]

Questionable decision by Blackmon there.

[falco]

lets see a sustained drive here

[channtheman]

that was offensive int.

what? :shock:

I'm a homer, but c'mon!

It's more like IF there was a flag on the play, it would have to be offensive.... No effing way that was a flag though.

[imscott72]

that was offensive int.

what? :shock:

I'm a homer, but c'mon!

looked to me like he was holding al's arm down.

If you watched the replay Berrian tried to push Harris off him when the ball was nearly there. Should of been a no call but it didn't hurt..

[Brando19]

C'mon Pack...14-3 on this drive....let's go!

[mmmdk]

How the fuck is that pass interference?? BULLSHIT..Berrian was pushing him away!!


Bullshit on that....it was a bad call though...man you got green glasses on!

arm tangle - gave refs reason to call it - so it's ok in my book. Bad Harris.

[Rastak]

that was offensive int.

what? :shock:

I'm a homer, but c'mon!

It's more like IF there was a flag on the play, it would have to be offensive.... No effing way that was a flag though.


No flag period. Harris had the arm blocking him but everyone does that. Reciever is trying to get his arm off him.


Never should have been called. Bad call.

[retailguy]

How the fuck is that pass interference?? BULLSHIT..Berrian was pushing him away!!


Bullshit on that....it was a bad call though...man you got green glasses on!

arm tangle - gave refs reason to call it - so it's ok in my book. Bad Harris.


Well, that's what I saw. Was it a cheap foul? Yeah probably. But it was there.

[mmmdk]

C'mon Pack...14-3 on this drive....let's go!

You call it! :pack:

[Gunakor]

How the fuck is that pass interference?? BULLSHIT..Berrian was pushing him away!!


Bullshit on that....it was a bad call though...man you got green glasses on!

arm tangle - gave refs reason to call it - so it's ok in my book. Bad Harris.


Fuck that, the offensive guy is just as responsible as the defensive guy. No call should be made. That's football.

[Brando19]

Ryan Grant!!! Yes..20 yd run...I'm glad you're starting on my FF team!

[imscott72]

Nice 20 yarder Ryan...

[PackerTimer]

Nice run there. Huge hole.

[Charles Woodson]

Nice pickup Grant!

[retailguy]

nice run! Glad to see that after zero preseason carries.

[gbgary]

i love ryan grant...figuratively.

[Fosco33]

Grant running up the middle - high and tight! Great blocking mostly.

[Gunakor]

Ryan Grant!!! Yes..20 yd run...I'm glad you're starting on my FF team!


Well, I sat him in favor of Thomas Jones. I couldn't figure a big day for Grant against the Vikings stout run defense, especially having been in for just one play since January coming into the game. I don't think I'll be disappointed though. Jones had a helluva game too.

[Brando19]

Damn boys....we've got us a mobile QB!

[Charles Woodson]

Man A-rods faster than i thought

[gbgary]

qb with legs

[Lurker64]

I really used to hate it when other teams' QBs did that to us.

[retailguy]

nice run for 1st down. poor blocking on line again...

[Gunakor]

qb with legs

And an arm.

And a brain.

[imscott72]

Kornhole SHUT YOUR FUCKING PIE HOLE...

[Brando19]

Yes! 12 to 80 first down for 25 yds!

[Charles Woodson]

Lol took about 5 Vikings to take Driver down

[PackerTimer]

Rodgers looks very good right now.

[gbgary]

THAT...was a rocket ball.

[retailguy]

driver!

[red]

a-rod is starting to look comfortable

thank god

[mmmdk]

How the fuck is that pass interference?? BULLSHIT..Berrian was pushing him away!!


Bullshit on that....it was a bad call though...man you got green glasses on!

arm tangle - gave refs reason to call it - so it's ok in my book. Bad Harris.


Fuck that, the offensive guy is just as responsible as the defensive guy. No call should be made. That's football.

I agree; Harris is on D and they mostly get the call.

[Bretsky]

I see TT is sitting by his friends........J/K :lol:

[imscott72]

Man Arod looks great...Jaws slap Kornhole silly...the guy's a total fucking idiot...

[retailguy]

Rastak - What happened to the defense? They were owning this game 15 minutes ago....

[PackerTimer]

That was a great shot there. His eyes were always scanning the field.

[mmmdk]

THAT...was a rocket ball.

It sure was!

[Bretsky]

Will the Vikings crack 25 passing yards this half ?

[Rastak]

Rodgers under heavy pressure.....

[retailguy]

I see TT is sitting by his friends........J/K :lol:

Was that Justin Harrell sitting there? I didn't recognize him. He looked like a chair! :wink:

[gbgary]

Rastak - What happened to the defense? They were owning this game 15 minutes ago....

ref's arms were getting tired.

[Rastak]

Nice tackle Benny Sapp

[Charles Woodson]

Damn Jennings just got thrown down :shock:

[Bretsky]

nice tackle by the DB

[imscott72]

Mason is $$$$$$$

[Iron Mike]

Was that Sharper talking smack to GJ? :roll:

[mmmdk]

Sure tackle Sharper? That's new :lol:

[Rastak]

7 points lads.......why are all the lassies gone?

[Charles Woodson]

not quite 14-3 but ill take whatever we can get nice FG

[Bretsky]

here comes money

[Lurker64]

I don't think Jennings is going to overpower a lot of people to break tackles, but you have to give him some credit.

[retailguy]

Mason is $$$$$$$


I really hope he likes Applebees... :shock: :wink:

[Badgerinmaine]

Was that Sharper talking smack to GJ? :roll:
Sure looked like it. Surprised?

[KYPack]

12 looks pretty good, eh boys & girls?

[Bretsky]

I hope OSU beats USC........but I think they are going to get hammered

[ND72]

Chester Taylor is one expensive return man...

[Badgerinmaine]

Look, I like Kornheiser, and enjoy his writing and like him on PTI. But when it comes to his Favre-Rodgers obsession, I have some time-worn advice for him:
http://members.arstechnica.com/x/svdsinner/warm_cup_STFU.jpg

[PackerTimer]

I hope OSU beats USC........but I think they are going to get hammered

I think so too. Even if Wells plays I think they lost by 10 or more.

[retailguy]

12 looks pretty good, eh boys & girls?


Not half bad, KY. We need a better OL though. Colledge looks HORRIBLE and that's being polite.

[mmmdk]

Was that Sharper talking smack to GJ? :roll:
Sure looked like it. Surprised?

...you guys are slow :lol:

[Charles Woodson]

I hope OSU beats USC........but I think they are going to get hammered
Idk, OSU has let me down in the past few years. USC is a beast though, any of there runningbacks could start for any college team

[Bretsky]

When All Day needs a rest, the Vikings should just call a timeout and tell him to stay his ass in there

Dude is out of this world good

[Charles Woodson]

Close call phew

[pack4to84]

makeup call i think

[PackerTimer]

HAHAHAHAHA! Make up call.

[Rastak]

Now THAT was fucking pass interfearence.

[mmmdk]

What do you call, Ras?

[Lurker64]

Okay, that was much more like pass interference than the thing that was actually called pass interference. Makeup call?

[jmbarnes101]

Is Grant hurt?

[imscott72]

wow I thought that was more PI than the previous call..we got away with one there..

[Gunakor]

That on the other hand maybe should have been called...

[PackerTimer]

Now THAT was fucking pass interfearence.

Yes it was.

[Bretsky]

nice no call on the pass interference

Thank you MN for not running AP again :idea:

[gbgary]

no interference on that play!! :lol:

[red]

well, i see we haven't learned anything from the giants game last year

no safety help over the top at all for harris

[Lurker64]

I think maybe the ref is less likely to call PI in that situation because the ball was behind both Harris and Berrian? So that Berrian would have to go through Harris in order to catch that ball, so Harris had position?

[Charles Woodson]

Is Grant hurt?
No why?

[mmmdk]

Now THAT was fucking pass interfearence.

...no comment...Vikings got away with a few holds earlier.

[Gunakor]

well, i see we haven't learned anything from the giants game last year

no safety help over the top at all for harris


Berrian is not Plax...

[Brando19]

Hmmm...is it a first?

[imscott72]

short?? Really close..

[PackerTimer]

Short?

[imscott72]

YESSSSS

[Brando19]

Punt...YES!

[Rastak]

Bad spot, challenge it.

[Bretsky]

We might have got a home field spot on that one

[Charles Woodson]

Damn AWFUL spot,

[Badgerinmaine]

no interference on that play!! :lol:
Oh, no. He held up his hands afterward. That always means they are totally innocent :twisted:

[Lurker64]

I was a little worried there until I saw Kluwe on the field. Fourth and very short is tense...

[Brando19]

Will the Vikes challenge the spot of the ball? I would if I were them...but i hope the stupid bastards don't....dumbasses

[jmbarnes101]

Is Grant hurt?
No why?

I thought I saw Brandon Jackson out on the field on every play after the big run. I must have been mistaken.

[red]

well, i see we haven't learned anything from the giants game last year

no safety help over the top at all for harris


Berrian is not Plax...

yeah, berrian is a lot faster then plax and so far has made a career off the long ball

[Charles Woodson]

I wonder why they didnt challenge it

[Charles Woodson]

Is Grant hurt?
No why?

I thought I saw Brandon Jackson out on the field on every play after the big run. I must have been mistaken.
I thought he was just out there on 3rd downs.

[retailguy]

Bad spot, challenge it.

No, AP had the ball behind him when he fell, he moved the ball while on the ground. They won't win that one.

[Iron Mike]

I wonder why the Queens don't line up two TEs and direct snap to Purple Jesus?? 8-)

[falco]

I wonder why they didnt challenge it

saving time outs i think

[Bretsky]

I wonder why they didnt challenge it


worth a try; not like they don't have extra TO's

[gbgary]

no interference on that play!! :lol:
Oh, no. He held up his hands afterward. That always means they are totally innocent :twisted:

right. can you say make-up call?

[Lurker64]

yeah, berrian is a lot faster then plax and so far has made a career off the long ball

But he's not big and physical like Plax, he doesn't go up for the ball and muscle you out of the way like Buress does.

[mmmdk]

We might have got a home field spot on that one

I'll say maybe...

[pbmax]

I thought my blood pressure would go down with Favre in retirement/New York. Its actually worse. Anyone have a link for an online defibrillator?

[Brando19]

2 minute offense for Rodgers...c'mon man.

[Lurker64]

I wonder why they didnt challenge it


worth a try; not like they don't have extra TO's

Well, they might be saving both of their challenges for the second half in case they need them. I think that since Childress is an Alvarez disciple, he's inclined to be conservative here.

[retailguy]

I thought my blood pressure would go down with Favre in retirement/New York. Its actually worse. Anyone have a link for an online defibrillator?

Spot just called good - end of dis.

I'll say maybe...

Spot just called good - end of dis.

i said it on the last page.... nice of them to catch up... :D

[Charles Woodson]

damn, grant got stuffed

[Gunakor]

I don't understand the draw play against the league's top run defense during the 2 min offense...

[retailguy]

is it just me or does brandon jackson look like he's running in wet cement?

[PackerTimer]

Jackson still dances too much. He's better but he still can improve on that.

[Bretsky]

Brandon Jackson still looks indecisive

Still looks a huge step down from Ryan Grant

[pbmax]

Down, RG, not up. :lol:

jackson

[mmmdk]

Jennings!!! :D

[Lurker64]

How many time outs do we have? ESPN's ticker doesn't indicate it.

[gbgary]

nice blitz p/u

[rdanomly]

Great pass by ARod

[imscott72]

2 min drive lookin mighty fine right here..

[Gunakor]

OH what a pass... Threading the needle already.

[Rastak]

Nice pass........damn, Rodgers > Jackson, I admit it.

[Lurker64]

That was a tiny window that Rodgers slid the ball into.

Can you say "Farvresque"?

[mmmdk]

Rodgers - Da man! :pack:

[imscott72]

How many time outs do we have? ESPN's ticker doesn't indicate it.

Should have 2 now..I don't recall them using one..

[retailguy]

Down, RG, not up. :lol:

You need that initial "burst" to restart things..... after that, well, you've just gotta close the browser... :P :twisted:

[PackerTimer]

Rodgers is very impressive right now. He's played about as well as one could have hoped. The offense has been chugging along nicely now that they've cleaned up the penalties.

[gbgary]

well....aaron seems very poised. i'm really impressed so far.

[Charles Woodson]

damn, grant got stuffed


jackson
Im watching online with crappy quality, so its hard to see numbers/names

[red]

nice scramble

[Badgerinmaine]

Rodgers is very impressive right now. He's played about as well as one could have hoped. The offensive has been chugging along nicely now that they've cleaned up the penalties.
yes and yes. Gotta love Jennings too

[Lurker64]

That is something i have not seen a Green Bay QB do in many years.

[Rastak]

Very nice play Rodgers....

[Charles Woodson]

Damn A-rod is picking up some huge yards with his legs

[Bretsky]

Nice pass........damn, Rodgers > Jackson, I admit it.


JT Osullivan > Jackson as well :wink:

[imscott72]

gotta give props to the O line here too. We were worried about them coming in, but they've really stepped up. Kudos!!

[gbgary]

he got some extra yards on that too.

[PackerTimer]

Rodgers is very impressive right now. He's played about as well as one could have hoped. The offensive has been chugging along nicely now that they've cleaned up the penalties.
yes and yes. Gotta love Jennings too

Of course I do. Jennings is on my fantasy team.

This drive has looked ok. The last few drives weren't so good. Moll and Colledge are having a rough time overall.

The Vikes are really overpursuing. I hope they throw a couple screens in there the 2nd half..

OK, delete the screen pass to BJack from your playbook, M3. :roll:
