Official Packers -vs- Vikings game thread

[Charles Woodson]

Damn two good to be true... Get it 2?

[Fosco33]

too quick on that one....

but i love seeing a nice clean hit by KGB

[mmmdk]

too quick KGB - damn!

[Bretsky]

Either KGB was offsides or he had the snap count

[ND72]

that was another bad call. KGB left with the ball.

[Guiness]

Kampy and KGB back to back sacks!!!~!

[Lurker64]

Gah, you have to pick that off...

[mmmdk]

Either KGB was offsides or he had the snap count

You a Zen master? :lol:

[Charles Woodson]

Anybody see how far back T-Jack dropped? lol

[Bretsky]

Come on Poppinga ! Almost hit you in the numbers

[imscott72]

Pop almost had one there..

[Fosco33]

catch that fing ball - popp (hodge) hmmm... and a huge contract. I'm not convinced on him yet.

[gbgary]

come on D!!

[Iron Mike]

How many yards for Purple Jesus this half??? :P

[mmmdk]

Gah, you have to pick that off...

Agreed! Poppy's been good though.

[Charles Woodson]

Have we just shut down AP or have they not been running much?

[Guiness]

TOUCHDOWNNNNN
OMG THAT BLOCK AT THE END, that guy got knocked the fuck out

I believe that was Jason Hunter administering the crushing blow.

Was that Hunter. It was better than just a good hard block - he ran with the guy, waited until he was in position so it wouldn't be a 'block in the back' got around the side of him, then leveled him.

That is good coaching.

[Lurker64]

I'd really like this drive to end soon...

[Gunakor]

Have we just shut down AP or have they not been running much?

T-Jax is running plenty...

[Bretsky]

Have we just shut down AP or have they not been running much?

we are stacking; they can't pass

[mmmdk]

C'mon - turnover! We should be up by a zillion.

[imscott72]

Nick is hurt..Rouse time!!

[Iron Mike]

Get Rouse in there!!!!!!

[Gunakor]

Collins out, Rouse in.

[Charles Woodson]

Oh shit, NC... Although i like Rouse

[Lurker64]

I don't see what happened with Collins there. I hope he's all right.

[mmmdk]

C'mon - TACKLE - you are there guys!!!!

[Fosco33]

Purple jebus on this drive multiple times...

Pack will get this one back - I can feel it.

[retailguy]

great run. wow. :shock:

[Lurker64]

Well, our offense will be well rested when they get the ball back.

[Badgerinmaine]

dang. Peterson is just a beast. wow.

[mmmdk]

Have we just shut down AP or have they not been running much?

we are stacking; they can't pass

they can run...

[imscott72]

Gotta hand it to the Vikes, they're sure sticking with the run..Gonna wear down our front 7 at this rate..

[retailguy]

does Jackson know how to slide?

[Lurker64]

There was bad, obvious holding that didn't get called on second down there....

[Iron Mike]

That wasn't holding against Cole???? :roll:

[The Gunshooter]

Jackass better learn how to slide or he won't make it to game 4.

[Charles Woodson]

Gotta hand it to the Vikes, they're sure sticking with the run..Gonna wear down our front 7 at this rate..
Dont understand why they havent been running even more, i mean T-Jack cant pass for crap

[mmmdk]

Have we just shut down AP or have they not been running much?

we are stacking; they can't pass

they can run...

RBs, OL & Tarvaris running killing us on this drive.

[Rastak]

does Jackson know how to slide?


Nope.

[Iron Mike]

There was bad, obvious holding that didn't get called on second down there....

You and I saw it.

[retailguy]

does Jackson know how to slide?


Nope.

He's gonna get himself killed.

[gbgary]

come on D!!

[imscott72]

DENIED!!!

[Gunakor]

No sir!

Short.

[Fosco33]

Well, our offense will be well rested when they get the ball back.

so will their D - which is much better for them than us... we're cold.

[Lurker64]

That was textbook third and 1 defense. Really nice play by Jenkins.

[Charles Woodson]

Oh damn, stupid jump by AP

[gbgary]

come on D!!

[imscott72]

Here we go!!

[mmmdk]

Good call, Chil.

[Lurker64]

Damnit...

[Iron Mike]

Peterson almost ALWAYS holds the ball away from his body....don't we do a strip drill???

[Charles Woodson]

Damnit

[imscott72]

wow huge play...crossing pattern really fooled the secondary..

[Fosco33]

:x

Jeez, Dline looks tired...

[retailguy]

Bigby got away with a late hit there.... great play call. just great.

[Bretsky]

nice late hit by Bigby

[retailguy]

Big miss. Saved our ass there...

[Gunakor]

3 people jumped on the WR crossing underneath the TE. Sad.

[imscott72]

:x

Jeez, Dline looks tired...

Yeah we need a long fucking drive out of the offense here..

[Lurker64]

Bad decision to go for two there. I don't care what the chart says.

[Bretsky]

decent pass would mean a 3 point game

[Guiness]

wow - over the middle. Was that Rouse's guy?

Honestly, I never dreamed they'd be throwing...

[gbgary]

time to answer that with a nice...long...drive for a TD!!!!

[Carolina_Packer]

Jeez, nice accuracy by TJ on that throw in the end-zone...not.

[The Gunshooter]

A field goal should do it for GB. How about a nice 7 minute drive now.

[retailguy]

Peterson almost ALWAYS holds the ball away from his body....don't we do a strip drill???

We have to catch him first... that's not easy. :wink:

[Iron Mike]

We need a long drive to rest up the D here.......too bad our running game isn't on track.

[Guiness]

Bad decision to go for two there. I don't care what the chart says.

why???

that is the textbook situation to go for 2. What does 1 give them at all?

[Badgerinmaine]

decent pass would mean a 3 point game
No doubt, and he was open.

[retailguy]

wow - over the middle. Was that Rouse's guy.

Honestly, I never dreamed they'd be throwing...

Don't know but I saw about three guys break for the line when the ball was snapped. EVERYONE thought they'd run. Great great fake.

[red]

Bad decision to go for two there. I don't care what the chart says.

how does one point do anything for them?

[mmmdk]

Guts wins this game; that's a gutsy call.

Said it before; we should be up by 2 scores even with the Min TD.

McCarthy saved, so far, by Blackmon.

[Brando19]

I hate a nailbiter...i want a Packer blowout.

[Rastak]

Bad decision to go for two there. I don't care what the chart says.

Why?

down by 5.

What makes you dislike that call? They make it it's down by 3.

[Bretsky]

Bad decision to go for two there. I don't care what the chart says.

why???

that is the textbook situation to go for 2. What does 1 give them at all?

we kick a field goal and now it's 8

Before it's a TD to tie the game

[Fosco33]

Vikes have more 1st downs, yards (w/o the return by Will), and less penalty yards...

Need a really long slow TD drive to get this in our court...

[Brando19]

Bad decision to go for two there. I don't care what the chart says.

how does one point do anything for them?

ummmm....wins games.

[Lurker64]

why???

You stand a better chance of getting two points by kicking two extra points than by going for two twice. It's just a terribly low percentage play, and Minnesota should be playing assuming that Green Bay can score again and that they need to score another TD to win.

[Rastak]

I hate a nailbiter...i want a Packer blowout.


I want to win a lottery.....

[Carolina_Packer]

Bad decision to go for two there. I don't care what the chart says.

why???

Then that's two risky calls in a row including the going for it on 4th instead of taking the FG attempt. At least they got the TD, I guess. Would have had the 2 if TJ had any accuracy.

Why? They gave up a big play but have played it pretty tough overall.....

[Lurker64]

That blocked FG at the half is looming kind of large now, but at least we still have the lead and the ball.

[Badgerinmaine]

I think Minn. made the right call in going for two, but the thinking on going for one could be that if the Packers kick a FG, then you'd be down 20-13 and can tied the game without having to go for two (or play for the win) But like I said, they made the right call but just didn't execute.

[The Gunshooter]

Dare I say no turnovers so far?

[Gunakor]

God it would be nice to be able to pound the rock here. Figure something out MM. Gotta get it going on the ground somehow.

[Badgerinmaine]

I hate a nailbiter...i want a Packer blowout.


I want to win a lottery.....

I want a five dollar bill every time Tony says "Favre".

[Rastak]

Dare I say no turnovers so far?


Say it!

[Badgerinmaine]

Dare I say no turnovers so far?
Shhh!

[imscott72]

Nice hard run Ryan! Huge first down..

[Lurker64]

First down! Now just do this about 7 more times.

[Charles Woodson]

God it would be nice to be able to pound the rock here. Figure something out MM. Gotta get it going on the ground somehow.
Happy?

[gbgary]

way to go grant!!

[retailguy]

God it would be nice to be able to pound the rock here. Figure something out MM. Gotta get it going on the ground somehow.


great first down run.

[Iron Mike]

Hey.....a play with no penalty on Moll!!!!!!

[mmmdk]

Moll is still in there...

[Gunakor]

God it would be nice to be able to pound the rock here. Figure something out MM. Gotta get it going on the ground somehow.
Happy?

Not really...

[imscott72]

Wow Greenway...Impressive..

[red]

nice wiff tauch

o-line sucks bad tonight, the whole thing

[Lurker64]

This would be a really nice third down to convert....

[retailguy]

Wow Greenway...Impressive..


yes. great play.

[gbgary]

COME ON PACK!!!

[Rastak]

Greenway, very nice play.

[Charles Woodson]

Alright guys, we need a first down

[imscott72]

Well shit..That drive sucked..

[mmmdk]

McCarthy is calling uninspiring - downright not to lose! :x

[Brando19]

Come on Defense....3 and out right here....come on!

[gbgary]

DAMMIT... the D is tired. we needed that first down.

[Fosco33]

Needed a lot more there...

D needs to STEP UP now...

[Charles Woodson]

Come on! we needed 12, not a good call in my opinion.
Btw interesting, DD seems like A-rods go to target

[MadtownPacker]

McCarthy is calling uninspiring - downright not to win! :xYep. His balls must have got clipped at halftime. I hate when he pulls this shit.

[Rastak]

Really nice special teams coverage by Green Bay......

[Iron Mike]

No tackles, no sacks for Jared Allen. :lol:

[Brando19]

We need to go downfield to Jennings more....come on McCarthy...call em like the first half!

[gbgary]

Really nice special teams coverage by Green Bay......

sarcasim...i love it.

[Gunakor]

No tackles, no sacks for Jared Allen. :lol:

Cliffy has done a good job since the 2 early penalties.

[pbmax]

Not many high percentage plays for 12 yards. It would be worse to turn it over.



McCarthy is calling uninspiring - downright not to win! :xYep. His balls must have got clipped at halftime. I hate when he pulls this shit.

[pbmax]

Jinx. take it back.

he did get Clifton called for holding and illegal formation.


No tackles, no sacks for Jared Allen. :lol:

[imscott72]

JJ Hardy bang! 4-1 Crew..

[gbgary]

we need a turnover....or a bunch of minn penalties. :lol:

[red]

hold

[Iron Mike]

Two whiffed tackles there......nice.

[Carolina_Packer]

we need a turnover.

mmm, a hot apple one!

[imscott72]

yeah flag those purple bastages!!

[pbmax]

Good thing, we whiffed twice.

[Lurker64]

Bad decision to go for two there. I don't care what the chart says.

Why? They gave up a big play but have played it pretty tough overall.....

But the thing is, that if they miss the 2-point conversion and they score another TD they have to go for the 2-point conversion again, otherwise Green Bay can win with a FG. You're gambling that you can convert on at least one of two 2-pt conversions and that you can keep Green Bay from scoring at least a field goal. You're better off just kicking the two extra points so a field goal only ties.

[retailguy]

we need a turnover.

or,.... a holding penalty

[gbgary]

come on D!!

It was the right call. You are thinking too hard.

[gbgary]

come on D!!

[Iron Mike]

Check out the hold on AK on the replay!!!!

[Gunakor]

Hawk has been all over the place tonight.

[MadtownPacker]

This is BS. This game should be out of reach by now. If this happens to go bad the blame will fall directly on M3. This is the point where coaches earn their money the way I see it.

[imscott72]

AJ Hawk 9 tackles tonight. The guy is a fucking machine..

[Carolina_Packer]

come on D!!

That he is. :D

True. But this is also where the players on defense earn thiers. We get a hold here, and everything is well.

[gbgary]

This is BS. This game should be out of reach by now. If this happens to go bad the blame will fall directly on M3. This is the point where coaches earn their money the way I see it.

defense got tired in the 3rd cuz they were on the field the whole time. that 3 and out hurt.

[MadtownPacker]

Im talking about the whole 2nd half. Not that play. Even Rodgers looks like he is getting frustrated with it.

Not many high percentage plays for 12 yards. It would be worse to turn it over.

The timeout helps a bit, though.

[Lurker64]

Phew....

[gbgary]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gunakor]

Good play Chuck.

[Guiness]

monster stop there.

they went 3 wide why????

[Charles Woodson]

yay, good stop

[imscott72]

Nice PI on Woody there.. :lol:

[mmmdk]

No guts, no glory!

McCarthy - you're on! Help your young offense!

[Rastak]

Last time I checked you can't hold a guys arm.

[billy_oliver880]

Good play Chuck.

Fucking homer announcers...wheres the replays on the holds against greenbay?

[Lurker64]

monster stop there.

they went 3 wide why????

Well the last time they ran on 3rd and 1 they got stuffed, and the last time they passed on 4th and 1 they scored a TD....

[Iron Mike]

Last time I checked you can't hold a guys arm.

Like when your right tackle was pulling Aaron Kampman backwards by his???

[gbgary]

COME ON PACK!!!

now let's put a drive together here. DAAAAAM!

[Lurker64]

Last time I checked you can't hold a guys arm.

Given the quality of officiating (on both sides) in this game, are you at all surprised?

[MadtownPacker]

You dont think the Pack should have alot more points in a game they have dominated???
Way to not panic Mad :lol:

I'm not, it's been bad on both sides. Horrible refs tonight.

[pbmax]

Nice hard count Aaron!

[Charles Woodson]

So if im A-rod, and as long as we win i would feel pretty good. Silenced his critics... MM needs to get a drive going, and yay for minnesota penalty

[Carolina_Packer]

Noticed how our offense has been big plays or conservative plays mostly?

[pbmax]

Balhawk, its the Ruvell of your dreams!

[Charles Woodson]

Nice throw a-rod. Ruvell, where the hell is BH tonight?

[gbgary]

take our time here. aaron needs to do it with his legs if need be.

[retailguy]

Noticed how our offense has been big plays or conservative plays mostly?

what would the alternative be?

[imscott72]

RYAN GRANT!!!!! BOOYAH!!

[Fosco33]

Bad calls both ways... Stop ur bitchin!


Ryan Fing Grant

[Lurker64]

GRANT!

[pbmax]

Who loves Tony Moll now?!!!

[Iron Mike]

Where was Sharper on that run??? :P

[red]

yeah grant yeah

[Gunakor]

Welcome back Ryan. Glad to see ya again.

[Carolina_Packer]

DAGGER!

[Rastak]

That works.....nice run Grant.

[mmmdk]

Gimme a break? Guts? :D

[retailguy]

woot!

[The Gunshooter]

No laundry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gbgary]

I SAID TAKE OUR TIME HERE DANNIT!! :D

[Bretsky]

Who loves Tony Moll now?!!!

he still sucks

[Lurker64]

Noticed how our offense has been big plays or conservative plays mostly?

what would the alternative be?

Moderate plays?

[The Gunshooter]

Jackson just got decapitated.

[retailguy]

Who loves Tony Moll now?!!!

not me.

[mmmdk]

Another pen?

[red]

yeah, jackson is just as good as grant

yup

[imscott72]

Vikes are imploding here now..Need to punch this one in..

[Fosco33]

Get in the end zone NOW

[Bretsky]

I'm slow

Third and One

What in the hell is MN doing passing anyways ???

[MadScientist]

Packers get penalties between the 20's. Minn gets them at the goaline.

[Gunakor]

Jackson just got decapitated.


Ya, well they had a man advantage. That shit might fly in hockey, but not here.

[mmmdk]

Who loves Tony Moll now?!!!

not me.

not me

[imscott72]

AND THERE'S YOUR DAGGER!!!

[gbgary]

TOUCHDOWN!!

[Bretsky]

Look at Grant trying to come in

Come on MM; he got ya there.......give him the rock :!:

[pbmax]

Go Colledge!

[Iron Mike]

Nice spike A-rod!!!!! 8-)

[mmmdk]

RODGERS - HIM I LOVE!

[Lurker64]

That was a very nice block by Colledge on the touchdown. Have to give the man his props.

[Bretsky]

AND THERE'S YOUR DAGGER!!!


DAGGER

[retailguy]

MTP - ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? :P

[The Gunshooter]

I have always been on board and I am not shutting up.

[gbgary]

WOO HOO!!

[Charles Woodson]

HEELLL YAAa
Grant just proved why hes worth the money! F yea
A-Rod I entrust my full confidence in you

[pbmax]

Colledge actually drive blocked someone back two yards. Mark this on a calendar!

[Fosco33]

Great night for Arod - seemed like a summer of stress was relieved on one massive spike!

Nice 8-)

[Carolina_Packer]

AND THERE'S YOUR DAGGER!!!


DAGGER

Premature Daggulation!

[red]

is that gbrulz trying to grab a-rods ass on the leap?

[mmmdk]

AND THERE'S YOUR DAGGER!!!


DAGGER

NOOO! :shock:

[pbmax]

Crosby, nice adrenaline!

[Lurker64]

See, this is why you don't go for two earlier. Right now it's a 12 point lead. Minnesota would need two touchdowns. If they had kicked the extra point, it would be an 11 point lead and they would have the option of kicking a field goal in the red zone and getting the ball back and going for the TD and the late 2-point conversion to tie. Now that's no longer possible. If Green Bay can keep the Vikings from scoring two touchdowns, they win.

[gbgary]

aaron was right...he can do this!!

[Rastak]

Great game by Green Bay.....

[Iron Mike]

There HAS to be a picture somewhere of Grant cutting back and two Queens DBs falling over each other. :P

[imscott72]

TJax got smoked right there..

[Iron Mike]

Hawk>Greenway

[Fosco33]

TJack is gonna be sore tomorrow

[Bretsky]

nice shot by Hawk

[gbgary]

Great game by Green Bay.....

it was very close. not easy.

[Guiness]

monster stop there.

they went 3 wide why????

Well the last time they ran on 3rd and 1 they got stuffed, and the last time they passed on 4th and 1 they scored a TD....
Maybe, but they've got probably the most dynamic rushers in the game. And a passer who I think has been more lucky than good tonight.

I've going with Peterson on 3 and 1 is all I'm saying.

[imscott72]

weak PI call...Refs trying to keep it interesting.. :roll:

[channtheman]

BS call on pass interference.

[mmmdk]

..so we didn't miss AJ??? :lol:

Watch me & my Hawk jersey at PR game!

[billy_oliver880]

bullshit call

[Iron Mike]

T Jack's taking a beating.

[pbmax]

I can't stand Triplette's crew.

[Bretsky]

Falco is spurring out profanities somwhere

[retailguy]

Now that's no longer possible. If Green Bay can keep the Vikings from scoring two touchdowns, they win.


You're still thinking too hard. You don't plan on another touchdown by your opponent. If they keep scoring, you never catch up and it doesn't matter. It was still the right call.

[Lurker64]

Terrible call on the PI.

Defense needs to come to their senses here.

[imscott72]

how the fuck did he get out of that??

[mmmdk]

F@ck - TACKLE! :shock:

[gbgary]

come on D!!


it's not over.

[Gunakor]

I can't stand Triplette's crew.


I agree. They haven't improved one bit since last season, have they?

[Fosco33]

hate these penalties,

How bout the no holding calls...

Refs trying to make this more interesting...

[red]

awwwwww damnit

[Charles Woodson]

Damn, nice play Charles

[gbgary]

come on D!!

[Carolina_Packer]

Terrible call on the PI.

Defense needs to come to their senses here.

I didn't notice a replay. They usually dissect those calls

[Lurker64]

I'd like to see a replay on the non-interception. But there is not one forthcoming from ESPN.

[Iron Mike]

Anybody else notice that during T Jack's run...as soon as he spied Hawk out there he headed for the sideline???? :D

[gbgary]

come on D!!

[Guiness]

TJack is gonna be sore tomorrow
Ya, and Hawk's shot was followed by more of the same by Kampy.

Damn, T-Jack just broke a nice run. Oh well, if he wants to make a living that way, good luck to him.

[Bretsky]

come on D!!


it's not over.


it's over; we're talking about T Jack here

[Fosco33]

Did anyone see that Vikes fan flipping Arod off after that leap? Isn't that action for refusal from Lambeau w/ new code of conduct...

I feel like taking a pic and sending to league somehow.

Scoreboard dipshit.

[gbgary]

come on D!!

[red]

they're wasting a lot of valuable time right now

[Bretsky]

Minnesota appears to be in the prevent offense

[retailguy]

Minnesota appears to be in the prevent offense

:lol:

[Carolina_Packer]

Minnesota appears to be in the prevent offense

It's called the TJ 7 formation

[imscott72]

shit Jenkins down..

[pbmax]

And an award for you on this one! :lol:

Oh shoot, Jenkins.


Minnesota appears to be in the prevent offense
