Official Packers -vs- Vikings game thread

[Gunakor]

Oh that's no good. We certainly don't need any new injuries on the DL.

[Lurker64]

Uh oh, Jenkins is hurt. I hope it's just cramping.

[gbgary]

let's close it out here.

[Iron Mike]

Where'd Smacktalkie go??? :shock:

[pbmax]

Cramp, he'll be OK, rub some dirt on it.

[red]

oh fuck


we're in deep shit if thats cullens knee

hopefully just a cramp

[mmmdk]

it's not over.


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

Remember Cards vs Vikings in 2004?..it's football.

[gbgary]

come on D!!

[Rastak]

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.


hey Fosco, my buddy watched a Packer fan who was pissed toss a beer in a girls face at the dome. Morons happen.

[Gunakor]

That Mills guy is thier best receiver tonight.

[Carolina_Packer]

Geez, did Atari push him out? Man!

[Charles Woodson]

Come on D!!!

[Lurker64]

The offense is going to need to move the ball when they get the ball back.

[Brando19]

Another Penalty? Bullshit

[Charles Woodson]

come on someone hit T-jack

[Fosco33]

Where's the Offensive Holding...

I hate this crew.

[Bretsky]

come on D!!


it's not over.

[Charles Woodson]

Fuck, come on guys

[Iron Mike]

That Mills guy is thier best receiver tonight.

Disagree. Shiancoe.

[mmmdk]

The offense is going to need to move the ball when they get the ball back.

Onside?

[MadScientist]

The refs trying to throw more flags than the announcers do favre references.

[Brando19]

TD Peterson...son of a bitches.

[imscott72]

[mmmdk]

Who said it was over? :x

[Charles Woodson]

Although i have AP in my leagues so as long as we win, im good with that TD

[imscott72]

[Gunakor]

HAHA flag on the XP attempt.

[Brando19]

Wow...another freakin flag on the PAT.

[Brando19]

Leverage...I swear these dumbass refs are makin shit up.

[Gunakor]

[imscott72]

[Charles Woodson]

[Brando19]

OK onside coming...c'mon boys.

[gbgary]

[Fosco33]

Worst call ever - I HATE calls that have nothing to do w/ the outcome.

[Brando19]

Recovered....Yes!

[imscott72]

Our ball!!! Game over fuckers!!

[Charles Woodson]

Yea motha fuckaa, first win! 15 more :lol: :lol:

[pbmax]

Bretsky, the human jinx.


Who said it was over? :x

[Carolina_Packer]

hands team here. got to get it!!

Better lucky than good sometimes!

[Gunakor]

Bigby, off the hands team.

[Lurker64]

Just get a couple of first downs and put the game away. Please...

[Bretsky]

Who said it was over? :x


over

[Fosco33]

Another bad call - good break for Pack (never hit him and went out of bounds)...

[Brando19]

Anyone else here worried? I am

[Rastak]

Our ball!!! Game over fuckers!!


Check the clock.

[red]

b-jack sucks. put in grant

[retailguy]

Bretsky, the human jinx.

:D

[gbgary]

COME ON PACK!!!

[mmmdk]

Yea motha fuckaa, first win! 15 more :lol: :lol:

not you too...you're killing me.

[Fosco33]

b-jack sucks. put in grant

He's on a carry count for soreness.

[Brando19]

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holding!

[red]

my god

[retailguy]

b-jack sucks. put in grant

why the hell isn't grant in there?

hammy. they're controlling his snaps tonight. it's not fully healed.


Tauscher held???? :shock: WTF?

[imscott72]

Our ball!!! Game over fuckers!!


Check the clock.

If the refs have their way they'll play all fucking night.. :roll:

[Iron Mike]

WE get flagged for holding???? :shock:

[pbmax]

This was a bad series of calls. Need to throw.

[gbgary]

dammit. got to get one more first down.

[Fosco33]

Conservative play will kill us a la Holmgren

[red]

b-jack sucks. put in grant

why the hell isn't grant in there?

He's on a carry count for soreness.

you put your best guys on the field in this situation

[mmmdk]

Sold the bear before it was shot?

[Brando19]

McCarthy is a freakin idiot...why is he being so conservative?

[Bretsky]

not a fan of the playcalling

[Rastak]

Wow, that was strange.........didn't even try for the first down.

[gbgary]

mike mike mike. stupid. the d is tired.

[imscott72]

This was a bad series of calls. Need to throw.

Hell no..

[Lurker64]

I'm kind of nervous. Recovering a muffed punt here would be a big weight off my mind.

[retailguy]

this was incredibly stupid play calling.... wow.

[Bretsky]

b-jack sucks. put in grant

why the hell isn't grant in there?

He's on a carry count for soreness.

you put your best guys on the field in this situation


he has to be hurt

[Iron Mike]

Conservative play will kill us a la Holmgren

Dare I say...........Shermanesque????

[pbmax]

All that accomplished was cost the Vikings a TO and got it to 2:00 remaining. If Ryan was still punting we could get a first down on a bad snap. But now, with a gassed defense, he's putting it in their hands.

I don't like this at all.

[red]

bad playcalling all second half

was that sherman or holmgren that would start to play it safe when we got the lead in the first half? that drove me nuts

[Sparkey]

WTF play calling is this ? When did FOrrest Gregg return as coach ? ? ?

[imscott72]

this was incredibly stupid play calling.... wow.

Why? No way you throw the ball there..too many bad things can happen,not to mention you stop the clock..

[Sparkey]

I have a bad feeling about this. If they lose its on MM 100%!!!

[pbmax]

They needed two series of downs to put the dagger in. They only got one. They needed a first, no matter how they got it.



This was a bad series of calls. Need to throw.

Hell no..

[mmmdk]

this was incredibly stupid play calling.... wow.

We might still win but McCarthy is doing one big screw up play calling day.

[Charles Woodson]

Holy crap, Jamarcus Russell is huge!

[Packnut]

Stupid, stupid stupid. McCarthy is an idiot.

[gbgary]

what's up with jamarcus russell and his love-handle protection?

[retailguy]

this was incredibly stupid play calling.... wow.

Why? No way you throw the ball there..too many bad things can happen,not to mention you stop the clock..

a first down seals the game. it's worth the risk. a few high percentage screens and this game is over.

[pbmax]

That QB completion stat was awful

[mmmdk]

F@ck this. :x

[gbgary]

come on D!!

[pbmax]

Nice play TWill

[mmmdk]

horsecollar.. :shock:

[gbgary]

Shit play to end the game.....Great game by Green Bay. Congrats on the win. I thought Rodgers looked just fine.

[Bretsky]

You got of easy, B :lol:


Never a doubt

[red]

great game from a-rod, good game for the d

piss poor game from the coaches. horrible play calling in snd half and there was a huge lack of brains with all the penalties

lots of room to improve, but its nice to start with a win

[imscott72]

defensive game ball to AJ Hawk...

Solid and unspectacular play by our QB should win a division IMO

The Vikings are a QB away from being a NFC championship contender IMO

[Charles Woodson]

So are we continuing the double header in this thread?

[RIPackerFan]

Rogers played great - O-line did much better in protection than I ever could have imagined. For all that was said about the D-line of the Vikings - I thought our O-line easily manhandled them.

Great game by Grant.

D was on the field waaaay to long - which is why the Vikings did better at the end.

Overall good first win.

[Carolina_Packer]

Clean up all the penalty bullshit, don't go into a shell and if we play like we did otherwise, I think we'll be a good team. I can't believe how sloppy the play was, but thankfully no turnovers, except the beautiful takeaway!

[Charles Woodson]

Alright Jay Cutler, and Selvin young, i need big fantasy games outa you 2

[The Shadow]

GAME BALL AROD

Absolutely! Great moxie! Rodgers far exceeded expectations.
Hawk is the Defensive MVP.

The Defense was huge, played with great intensity. Arod played very solid, Grant looks like he did last year. O line was average, but held it together. Great win. Now off to watch the Brewer game..

Overall good first win.
Manhandled their O-Line?
No, they didn't. We had trouble running the ball even on our second last possession. But, Our O-Line was able to hold their own against what is considered to be the top DL in the league, so I'm more than happy with that.

Huge kudos to Clifton who handled Allen one on one most of the night.

[Partial]

Good game from A-Rod. If he plays like that and we stay healthy and have a running game, we'll be successful.

I'm impressed.

[mmmdk]

...I think I won in fantasy too? Min D didn't score 14 FP, did they?

I don't think B is saying Rodgers played unspectacular tonight. I think he is saying our team is strong enough that we won't have to rely on Rodgers to win the division. He just needs to play smart, make a few plays, and limit turnovers; and then rely on the running game, defense, and special teams. Rodgers doesn't have to win games by himself, which is true.

[Iron Mike]

Down go the paper champions. :roll:
Gotta be impressed by a team beating the paper champions at home by 5. Very impressive.


I'm happy with the win. 8-)

Jared Allen. 1 tackle. Win.

[Lurker64]

We won, so I'm happy. That's all that really matters. Both of these teams have potential, but have some kinks to work out. November 9 looks to be fairly epic though.

But we're 1-0 and we're in first place in the division, so hooray! Rodgers looked just fine, and week 1 last year was uglier to be honest. As Grant gets into more and more game shape, the running game will come around. That and Tony Moll won't be in the starting lineup for long.

[Badgerinmaine]

That was a very entertaining game (except for the ridiculous number of penalties). Nothing like starting the season beating a division opponent. The Vikes fans on here were good sports, too. The Metrodome rematch should be very interesting indeed.

Surprisingly. I didn't expect the D to play this well. Tavaris had flashes of brilliance there. I see what Chilly sees. Can it become consistent? No idea.

T-Jack did look good, especially through the late 3rd and the 4th quarter. I thought Minn's O moved the ball more consistently than ours did.

I was surprised looking at the line that T-Jack was only 16/35, under 50%??? Seemed like he completed just about everything on those two critical drives late in the game.

[RashanGary]

hahaha,

unspectacular my ass.

The TD pass was all Rodgers. The sneak was who? The bomb to Driver? tWho was that? The bomb to Jennings? The huge ass runs? Who?

Rodgers made pretty much every huge play 'cept the big run by Grant. Haha, Favre lovers are on crack :) :) :)


It's a long season though. Rodgers has to stay healthy and McCarthy has to keep him from getting too Cowboy or he'll be layin' in the mud with a knee poking out of his shin.

[Scott Campbell]

They beat a good Viking team that wanted to catch Rodgers before he had much game experience. I think the second game against this Packer team is going to be more difficult than this one, regardless of where its played.

I was surprised looking at the line that T-Jack was only 16/35, under 50%??? Seemed like he completed just about everything on those two critical drives late in the game. T-Jack didn't look great, but he can probably get the job done. His big problem is that when he runs, he doesn't move to the sidelines or slide. Like M3 says, it's durability that makes a legendary QB. T-jack's gonna get himself killed out there pretending to be a RB.

[BallHawk]

Great game. Funny, just before Bigby made the INT I was talking about how I was worried he would give up a big penalty to set up a score for the Vikes. :oops:

And, in a way, thank God for Tony Moll. Joe needed 6 points to beat me in PR Fantasy Football and Tony Moll stripped victory away from Joe. :wink:

OK, since you took the initial potshots I'd simply say this......and it ONLY applies if you are referring to my statement of fact to Rastak.

Anybody who read my statement and twisted its meaning to refer to anything specific about tonight's game is reading challenged, sloppy with their interpretation, or looking to pick an argument

Sorry, B. A few beers in here :) :)

That was a great game. I'm really happy right now. I was a little worried because I really didn't know.

Also, the old ass farts that used to pack Lambeau to see one last run from the old guy seem to be gone!!! The stadium was packed iwth noise. Really, that was an even game with Rodgers being the best Packer and Peterson being the best Viking. The crowd made the difference.


GO PACK!!!

Alright I've been through Reading Interpretation 101 with about four posters right now

I made no reference to tonights game in this post :!:

[Pacopete4]

I feel good about the game for many reasons, most that are not with Rodgers. There were a lot of "areas of concern" that we thought we had or may still have but tonight answered a lot of those questions. Rodgers played simple, he made the throws a pro QB is supposed to make and made the TD pass that very good QB's make. Thats a huge start for him in his career but like all the good ones, its longevity and consistency that I want outta him and hopefully that happens.. also I hope he learns to shed some hits every once in awhile.. he seems to take some shots he doesn't have to after the ball is released

I feel good about the game for many reasons, most that are not with Rodgers.

Considering it was his first start ever, national stage, hated rival, off-season controversy right behind him, big expectations/pressures, the kid did well. It's a good start in a tough spot and that can't be taken away from him. The good news about any mistakes is I think this kid will get better with more experience, assuming health, and will improve things like escapability. It's a process, but a good start AR! Congrats.

I think I mis-worded my opening sentence. I meant I was more worried about other areas of our team than Arod tonight. Mostly cuz of injuries. I figured Arod would get a simple gameplan to just not lose the game. He made the plays that he was given to make, and thats pretty much what you want from any QB... I just wanted to make that clear because I dont think I did the first time..

The defense sure is a lot better with Pickett and Hawk in the game.

haha gotcha.. I haven't seen that one yet

[Lurker64]

It does bear to mention a few things. With the exception of the rare midseason trade or signing an also-ran off of his couch to fill a position, Ted Thompson's job for the 2008 season is over. It's certainly over as concerns the on-field product in any significant way, barring a significant injury. So whether we like Ted or hate him, and whether the team he fielded works out of it doesn't, it's sort of pointless to talk about Ted now.

Anything we can say about Ted Thompson at this point is largely second-guessing and recrimination, and the product on the field is a hell of a lot more interesting than the product in the office.

[Freak Out]

That was a hell of a big first step for this team and it was fun to watch. Things are only going to get better from here on out.

Had an awesome time at the game last night. The crowd was pumped, the beer was going down well...the team played overall very good. Just two observations.....we are in major trouble if Grant gets hurt and we have to rely on BJack. Also, M3's play calling in the 2nd half was garnering a few boo's in the crowd. Not sure if that was picked up on TV or not, but lots were booing about that. Especially towards the end when he didn't even attempt to pick up the first down.

I read back a few pages in this thread, sounds like Kornholio was at his finest again... so glad that I didn't have to listen to that idiot. Although the annoying Queens fan sitting behind me was just as irritating.

[GBRulz]

Also, the old ass farts that used to pack Lambeau to see one last run from the old guy seem to be gone!!! The stadium was packed iwth noise.


What kind of a lame comment was this supposed to mean? I guess you just aren't happy unless you are provoking or stirring up crap one way or another.

Did you get any pics chica? Ones above the waist preferrably.

Down go the paper champions. :roll:
Gotta be impressed by a team beating the paper champions at home by 5. Very impressive.


I'm happy with the win. 8-)

Jared Allen. 1 tackle. Win.Correction:

Jared Allen 0 tackles. Karma's a bitch, ain't it Jared! :lol:

[BooHoo]

Wow, I am sure glad we started the season off with a win. This is huge for the morale of the team and A-Rod. It also keeps the commentators quiet about Favre-Gate. Keep the winning streak alive guys!!!!!

[Guiness]

what's up with jamarcus russell's love-handle protection? :D

Just as I was telling my girlfriend how he had gained a bunch of weight, and Oakland was supposedly concerned with the shape he was in, etc, the announcers started saying how hard he'd worked, attending all the offseason weight training sessions, etc, and that Oakland couldn't have asked more from him...so which is it???

No, Mad...I left the camera at home last night. I might have a couple on my phone, but they aren't that great.
