Official Game Thread Packers -V- Cowboys (Week 3, 2008)

[Charles Woodson]

Crap Al, get better... So T-Wills the 2nd corner?

[GBRulz]

I don't remember Dallas being such a running team

[gbgary]

a body cramp...i had one today too. :lol:

[imscott72]

Hawk is one tough SOB...Harris in the locker room..

[Charles Woodson]

Nice play chillar

[red]

you have got to catch that chillar

[Iron Mike]

Where did that Chillar guy come from???

[gbgary]

COME ON PACKER D!!

[Lurker64]

Can a Cowboys receiver get up after a broken up pass without signaling for a flag?

[red]

yeah

[Charles Woodson]

2 on the night for AK?

[bobblehead]

Jenkins looking really healthy.

[red]

nice to see a non packer shank one

[Guiness]

Jolly is lucky he wasn't flagged

What'd he do?

[bobblehead]

Can a Cowboys receiver get up after a broken up pass without signaling for a flag?

NO, its genetic

[Gunakor]

2 on the night for AK?


1.5 for the night. CJ gets half of that one.

[PackerTimer]

Jenkins looking really healthy.

He's been pretty impressive so far. Nice to see him healthy and playing well.

[Guiness]

Crap Al, get better... So T-Wills the 2nd corner?

Yes, and a half dozen defensive plays later, his name isn't called. That's a good thing

[The Gunshooter]

you have got to catch that chillar

The receiver punched him in the shoulder just before the ball arrived.

[gbgary]

Jolly is lucky he wasn't flagged

What'd he do?

stood over barber yelling?? that was a few plays ago.

[Brando19]

We need a TD here and we need to hold em....13-3 at the half would rule...but our D can't come out playing like it's practice.

[bobblehead]

NOW we need to establish the run, we got confidence, we have gotten past the intimidation of the dallas offense, we need a time consuming drive where we jam it down their throat.

[mmmdk]

Dallas sure can run...so this D stop was HUGE.

[red]

this pepsi max commercial needs to die

it makes me want to drink coke

[GBRulz]

they are remaking Knight Rider? :roll:

[imscott72]

I love how Aaron didn't force that throw. Someone else I know would have thrown it anyway.. :wink:

[mmmdk]

Jolly is lucky he wasn't flagged

What'd he do?

stood over barber yelling?? that was a few plays ago.

Saw it too - touch'n'go there with refs.

[red]

they are remaking Knight Rider? :roll:

they already did, they showed the pilot last year

it sucked, i turned it off

[Charles Woodson]

I love how Aaron didn't force that throw. Someone else I know would have thrown it anyway.. :wink:

Lol that person wouldnt be in your avatar would it? :wink:

[Rastak]

How piss poor was that by Ellis?

[bobblehead]

NOW we need to establish the run, we got confidence, we have gotten past the intimidation of the dallas offense, we need a time consuming drive where we jam it down their throat.

Of course we come out with 2 pass plays.

[gbgary]

we need a couple of first downs here at least to rest the d.

[mmmdk]

they are remaking Knight Rider? :roll:

Insane... :lol:

[GBRulz]

wow a run called

[Charles Woodson]

Damn, Jennings already has 5 catches

[Guiness]

I love how Aaron didn't force that throw. Someone else I know would have thrown it anyway.. :wink:

Saw a lot of good things on a play that resulted in an incompletion. AR stayed in the pocket a long time, and had good protection. When it started to collapse, he scrambled away from the pressure, buying more time. When he still didn't see anything, he flipped it out of bounds. Nice

[Brando19]

C'mon Frost...pin em deep.

[bobblehead]

kinda unhappy to see the D back on the field so soon.

[gbgary]

wow a run called

as long as the pass is working i don't care if we ever run.

[red]

flag, block in the back

[imscott72]

wow looked like there were at least 3 blocks in the back there..Jeez

[Iron Mike]

Wow, Dallas got flagged??? :roll:

[retailguy]

i saw two blocks in the back

[Gunakor]

flag, block in the back

lol, 4 flags and a hat :lol:

[red]

kinda unhappy to see the D back on the field so soon.

we can't leave them on the field all game, we have to move the ball

[retailguy]

Ras - congrats on a Viking win today. Just not too many, OK? :wink:

[Lurker64]

I think there were more than two illegal blocks in the back on that play, the refs just ran out of flags. The rest were further downfield, so it didn't really matter.

[imscott72]

kinda unhappy to see the D back on the field so soon.

we can't leave them on the field all game, we have to move the ball

they'll get it going. I like the fact that Aaron's not trying to force things. Brett would have forced it and maybe converted, but maybe had a couple picks by now too..

[mmmdk]

Our D will get tired soon - will be paramount towards result.

[Guiness]

wow a run called

2 and 20 - they had 6db's on the field. MM guessed right, and that's when u want to call the draw.

[gbgary]

kinda unhappy to see the D back on the field so soon.

yeah the d needed a long rest but with the penalties and commercials they might be ok.

[Brando19]

Ras - congrats on a Viking win today. Just not too many, OK? :wink:

Could be worse...could be a Lions fan. You can bank on the Lions sucking each and every year.

[retailguy]

I think Barber is a Mack Truck in disguise.

[Rastak]

Ras - congrats on a Viking win today. Just not too many, OK? :wink:


Thx Retail....

[GBRulz]

wow a run called

2 and 20 - they had 6db's on the field. MM guessed right, and that's when u want to call the draw.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with the call.... I just hate how sometimes we get away from the run, that's all.

Nice avatar, btw ! Is that your dog?

[red]

barnetts back in there

[Charles Woodson]

I think Barber is a Mack Truck in disguise.
Seems more like a effin airplane. The dude is punishing

[pbmax]

Barnett is back at MLB?

[Charles Woodson]

Fuck, Felix

[imscott72]

Umm Felix Jones is good..

[Iron Mike]

Ras - congrats on a Viking win today. Just not too many, OK? :wink:

Isn't there a Week 3 day games thread for pimping the Viking game???

Isn't this a GB vs. Dallas thread??

[red]

god damnit

who the hell is 26?

[gbgary]

shit

[retailguy]

that sucked.

[Lurker64]

Having two backup safeties in there kind of sucks.

[GBRulz]

I think Barber is a Mack Truck in disguise. no doubt. he is def the best RB we have faced so far.

[bobblehead]

wow a run called

as long as the pass is working i don't care if we ever run.

And this is why we need to run, so we can eat clock and not put so fucking much pressure on the defense.

[pbmax]

Hawk and Montgomery lost contain and committed inside

[Rastak]

Ras - congrats on a Viking win today. Just not too many, OK? :wink:

Isn't there a Week 3 day games thread for pimping the Viking game???

Isn't this a GB vs. Dallas thread??


It is......TD Jones....

[Charles Woodson]

god damnit

who the hell is 26?

Charlie Peprah

[gbgary]

Umm Felix Jones is good..

it was the perfect play call.

[Lurker64]

Any word on what's up with Collins? He might not be better than Rouse, but he's almost certainly better than Peprah.

[Brando19]

Damn....damn damn damn....i got a sick feeling in my gut now.

[mmmdk]

Damnit; D getting abused by Barber and now Felix! Quite telling.

[retailguy]

Well. 10-6.... Time for a LONG drive to keep the D off the field.

[GBRulz]

come on now, we need a long drive...give the D some rest.

[pbmax]

26 is Peprah, active and playing as Bigby is out.

[Charles Woodson]

Damn....damn damn damn....i got a sick feeling in my gut now.
Its just the alcohol don't worry...

[bobblehead]

Damn....damn damn damn....i got a sick feeling in my gut now.

As long as our offense doesn't.

[retailguy]

<sigh>

[Lurker64]

Damn....damn damn damn....i got a sick feeling in my gut now.

Did you really expect the Cowboys to not score a TD or two in this game? There's lots of football, and we're within one score. We just need our offense to make some plays (that result in scores).

[Iron Mike]

Horse-collar tackle.

[Charles Woodson]

26 is Peprah, active and playing as Bigby is out.
Hes playing cause Collins is injured, Rouse was playing cause bigby was out

[bobblehead]

when we eat the rest of the half and get a TD is that field goal going to be worthless?

[The Gunshooter]

Then you look at Dallas and they have 6 down lineman.

[gbgary]

gotta answer that.

[Charles Woodson]

Alright Grant, we need you to rip one

[pbmax]

What happened to Collins.



26 is Peprah, active and playing as Bigby is out.
Hes playing cause Collins is injured, Rouse was playing cause bigby was out

[Brando19]

Wish we had a Felix Jones...

[Brando19]

Stupid throw by Rodgers...

[red]

the o-line just got completely blown up

way to give the d a rest

[GBRulz]

whew.....

[Charles Woodson]

What happened to Collins.



26 is Peprah, active and playing as Bigby is out.
Hes playing cause Collins is injured, Rouse was playing cause bigby was out


Any word on what's up with Collins? He might not be better than Rouse, but he's almost certainly better than Peprah.
I thought someone said he wasnt in

[pbmax]

Bad time for a line drive punt new guy!

[Iron Mike]

Tauscher's not having a good game. :(

[Brando19]

I thought Pacman didn't want to be called Pacman anymore?

[Lurker64]

Yeah, Collins isn't playing now, but he was earlier and I wonder why they took him out.

[gbgary]

3 and out. the d is exhausted. great.

[Lurker64]

I thought Pacman didn't want to be called Pacman anymore?

Well, later he said it's okay to call him PacMan on gameday, just not when he's not playing football.

[Iron Mike]

come on now, we need a long drive...give the D some rest.

So much for that.

[pbmax]

ERodgers reacted to pressure from the inside, didn't see who.

WHen he went wide, he opened up a lane for Ware. Would have been better off staying in the packet than going right without a target.


the o-line just got completely blown up

way to give the d a rest

[mmmdk]

This just won't cut it; Dallas can run & we can't. Playing from behind will be the killer for GB 'cos our D won't be able to keep up.

Unless Dallas blow themselves up they're the leading pony.

[pbmax]

That wasn't entirely the tackles fault when Rodgers ran right.


Tauscher's not having a good game. :(

[Lurker64]

Collins back in the game, Harris is cramping and has been taken to the locker room.

[gbgary]

short quick passes if the run isn't going to work.

[pbmax]

Monster tackle AJ, good shot

[red]

when we eat the rest of the half and get a TD is that field goal going to be worthless?

yes, because we had two scoring drives and all it took was one big play to wipe them both away

[Iron Mike]

Hawk!!!

[Guiness]

be nice to see a stop here...

[imscott72]

Man I love Hawk..The guy is gonna by an Urlacher..

[gbgary]

COME ON PACKER D!!

[Charles Woodson]

Lol barbers dreads stick out behind him instead of down

[mmmdk]

Bad time for a line drive punt new guy!

I don't see Frost with Packers next season.

[Lurker64]

We can't execute a zone to save our lives.

[Charles Woodson]

we need a stop D

[Lurker64]

It's really important to prevent the TD here. But there's plenty of football to play down the stretch.

[RashanGary]

The defense is doing OK. The offense is playing like shit.

[bobblehead]

This was my fear, we can't convert 3rd and 3, but they can convert 3rd and 8.

[gbgary]

We can't execute a zone to save our lives.

dallas eats up a zone.

[RashanGary]

Tausher is going on three below average games in a row.

[Freak Out]

Have we blitzed at all?

[mmmdk]

Packers need a TE like Witten :roll:

[RashanGary]

This was my fear, we can't convert 3rd and 3, but they can convert 3rd and 8.

No doubt.

[pbmax]

Zones don't work when you have all day. And this year, our zones have been much better. When there is pressure.


We can't execute a zone to save our lives.

[Iron Mike]

The defense is doing OK. The offense is playing like shit.

We'll see if M3 can make a halftime adjustment.

[bobblehead]

We can't execute a zone to save our lives.

All zones fail with a lack of rush, and we had zero rush on that last 3rd down. I don't like to blitz early, but we need to start sending the hounds.

[pbmax]

6 seconds to throw eats a zone. Not just Dallas.



We can't execute a zone to save our lives.

dallas eats up a zone.

[GBRulz]

Ever since Jones dropped that pass which would have been a first down, things have gone downhill.

[rbaloha1]

Packers need to go deep!

[imscott72]

a touchdown here would be devastating..

[Brando19]

Damnit....we need to hold them to a FG...

[GBRulz]

they cannot get a TD here

[mmmdk]

The defense is doing OK. The offense is playing like shit.

We'll see if M3 can make a halftime adjustment.

Dallas starts with rock; McCarthy halftime adjustments have been so-so.

[gbgary]

COME ON PACKER D!!

[Rastak]

Packers need to go deep!


They do not have the ball.

[RashanGary]

The offense hasn't doen anything.

[pbmax]

Is Chillar going in for Poppinga for coverage or are they playing 4 LBs?

[Lurker64]

Packers need to go deep!


They do not have the ball.

The linebackers could have played a little deeper on that Whitten completion though...

[Brando19]

The defense is doing OK. The offense is playing like shit.

We'll see if M3 can make a halftime adjustment.

Dallas starts with rock; McCarthy halftime adjustments have been so-so.

I don't know about McCarthy's halftime adjustments...he tends to be less aggressive.

[pbmax]

Great play, almost a huge one!

[red]

great play. would have been nice to fall on the ball though

[Brando19]

That was an awesome sack.

[Charles Woodson]

Nice play

[pbmax]

The defense is doing OK. The offense is playing like shit.

We'll see if M3 can make a halftime adjustment.

Dallas starts with rock; McCarthy halftime adjustments have been so-so.

I don't know about McCarthy's halftime adjustments...he tends to be less aggressive.

Yes, when he has a lead.

[GBRulz]

The defense is doing OK. The offense is playing like shit.

We'll see if M3 can make a halftime adjustment.

Dallas starts with rock; McCarthy halftime adjustments have been so-so.

I don't know about McCarthy's halftime adjustments...he tends to be less aggressive.

That's because we have been ahead at halftime in our first two games.

[mmmdk]

Seriously - a crazy passing Packer comeback is our best chance of winning this one. This due to them running rock and mixing it up nicely. Let's hope a pass craziness prevails.

[imscott72]

How lucky can Dallas get? That's twice they fumble and fall on it..

[Brando19]

How lucky can Dallas get? That's twice they fumble and fall on it..

Dallas is pretty damn lucky.

[gbgary]

COME ON PACKER D!!

[red]

good stop d

[Brando19]

Cool..good stop....now let's block this FG. :lol:

[imscott72]

Whew..We dodged a bullet here. Cowboys get the ball to open the 2nd half too..

[pbmax]

Be ready for a dribbler Blackmon!

[RashanGary]

The offense cannot continue to play like this. Time of possession is well against us. Score is against us. Not good and probably worse than the score would indicate.

[Lurker64]

Down 7 at halftime, totally manageable. Getting a stop or a turnover after we kick to them is big, though.

[Gunakor]

Blackmon, your up. How 'bout a KR TD. :D

[Iron Mike]

How lucky can Dallas get? That's twice they fumble and fall on it..

Dallas is pretty damn lucky.

How about the RB fumbling the ball up into the air and the TE catching it??

[mmmdk]

The defense is doing OK. The offense is playing like shit.

We'll see if M3 can make a halftime adjustment.

Dallas starts with rock; McCarthy halftime adjustments have been so-so.

I don't know about McCarthy's halftime adjustments...he tends to be less aggressive.

That's because we have been ahead at halftime in our first two games.

Almost blowing it vs THESE Lions are barely so-so. Woodson beat Lions in second half.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Jones is back and immediately fails to secure the ball.

That's his second for the game. :evil:

First one was in the dirt, I can forgive it, this one was for a first down in the red zone between the numbers, I see a Jordy as the #3 future.


no, the first pass was low but right in his hands.

[MadtownPacker]

Damn, M3 needs to open the playbook. The passing game is there for the taking. Running on 1st and 2nd down is not gonna cut it.

[pbmax]

We have to solve the pressure from blitzes and keep Cool Hand in the pocket!

[The Gunshooter]

Ugly half. The defense is good. The defensive coaching sucks. The offensive line sucks.

[RashanGary]

The offense can't keep turning it over. Really, the defense is doing their job. They're keeping the score down. The offense just needs to do their part and put some on the board.

[Brando19]

How lucky can Dallas get? That's twice they fumble and fall on it..

Dallas is pretty damn lucky.

How about the RB fumbling the ball up into the air and the TE catching it??

Exactly. Or the WR throwing it to TO whose covered by 2...and he didn't get called for Offensive Pass Interference?

[MadtownPacker]

How lucky can Dallas get? That's twice they fumble and fall on it..

Dallas is pretty damn lucky.

How about the RB fumbling the ball up into the air and the TE catching it??How about the RB fumbling the ball into the air to himself for the recovery?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Down 7 at halftime, totally manageable. Getting a stop or a turnover after we kick to them is big, though.

They are in the game, but the Packer defense is getting worn down. Their lack of depth on the defensive line is a problem. HAving to play Mike Montgomery at defensive end is like playing with 10 men on the field.

[pbmax]

I agree. They are loading for bear on 3rd down passing. Better to swap the down and distance tendencies.


Damn, M3 needs to open the playbook. The passing game is there for the taking. Running on 1st and 2nd down is not gonna cut it.

[Pacopete4]

we better start putting the balls into the endzone or we will not be in this game very much longer... Dallas is going to wear us down physically

[Iron Mike]

The defense is good. The defensive coaching sucks. The offensive line sucks.<==there's some news.

[RashanGary]

we better start putting the balls into the endzone or we will not be in this game very much longer... Dallas is going to wear us down physically

Yep. Can't keep having 3 and outs. That is fucking killing us. The defense is getting beat but doing their job by keeping the score low.

[pbmax]

One of the best offenses in the league has scored 13 points in a half and the coaches are dumb? Really? :shock:


Ugly half. The defense is good. The defensive coaching sucks. The offensive line sucks.

[Guiness]

Defense is such a mixed bag right now. A nice INT, couple of nice sacks, and forced 3rd and long a couple of times. Problem is they are converting the 3rd and longs we are forcing them into.

[gbgary]

on offense they need to get back to what was working early in the game. short passes. they haven't thrown to a back yet, i think. pass to set up the run. ball control passing...what the west coast offense is all about.

[rbaloha1]

The offense needs to start scoring tds.

Dallas is too physical for the Packer D to continually stop the Cowboys.

[mmmdk]

Damn, M3 needs to open the playbook. The passing game is there for the taking. Running on 1st and 2nd down is not gonna cut it.

Spot on! Let's face it; we can't run (yet). Pass all day long!!! Last season our run game came with Grant. We have Grant & bewildered OL but still no run game.

[boiga]

Ugly half. The defense is good. The defensive coaching sucks. The offensive line sucks. I disagree. The defensive scheme against TO has worked great.

However, we are really missing Bigby out there. Rouse had a couple of opportunities to stop Barber behind the line of scrimmage but choked. Also wasn't it Peprah who lost containment on the Felix Jones run?


On offense, we need Jones to stop dropping the ball. He killed a drive that way. Also, like you guys said, open it up. We need to try a bomb to driver to open up the field a little.

[falco]

remember when giants beat cowboys in the playoffs last year? cowboys had so many long drives the offense was gassed and couldn't convert anything in the late second half...thats about all we have going for us today

[Iron Mike]

We need to try a bomb to driver to open up the field a little.

Where's Driver been this game??

[RashanGary]

I don't like the Cowboys coming out on offense. They're just wearing our guys down. I'm definitly OK with bending but not breaking, but on third and long I think it's OK to take a shot with a blitz. YOu're not going to stop them playing that vanilla defense with this offensive line.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Rouse had a couple of opportunities to stop Barber behind the line of scrimmage but choked. .

Barber is running through tackles by all the Packers. Al HArris and Hawk have had some nice unassisted tackles. Barber is the difference in the game.

[pbmax]

9 runs for 36 yards. 4 yards per carry. We need first downs, not to stop running the football.

[RashanGary]

remember when giants beat cowboys in the playoffs last year? cowboys had so many long drives the offense was gassed and couldn't convert anything in the late second half...thats about all we have going for us today

Except we don't have the Giants defensive line that won the SB almost single handedly and the strength we do have (recievers/QB) is not doing shit.

good call boiga

[Harlan Huckleby]

9 runs for 36 yards. 4 yards per carry. We need first downs, not to stop running the football.

the problem is that the Cowboys are bigger and better on both offensive and defensive lines. they will win a grind-it-out ball control game.

[boiga]

Good notes:

-Rodgers has been stellar in the face of pressure.
-Hawk and Collins deserve a lot of credit for the Cowboys low score right now.
-TO has been bottled.


Bad Notes:
-They are sniffing out our running plays too easily.
-Rouse has been weak against the run.
-Wood is being asked to do too much.
-Run defense needs to improve.

[RashanGary]

The score is only 7 different, but we're getting beat worse than that and DAllas starts with the ball.

[mmmdk]

remember when giants beat cowboys in the playoffs last year? cowboys had so many long drives the offense was gassed and couldn't convert anything in the late second half...thats about all we have going for us today

Hmm....Giants scored TDs in first half to even it up. It was 14-14 at half time.

[RashanGary]

If the Pcakers do not start playing better I will leave this game aknowledging Dallas is on a different level. They are just beating us down. It's not luck. It's not good calls. It's domination that the score does not give justice to.

The weak link has been our offense.

[Brando19]

I disagree....our WEAKEST link is our run defense.

[Harlan Huckleby]

i say forget the running game. Score points on offense. continue to stop Dallas from getting big plays on offense. The packers won't win a low scoring game.

[boiga]

The score is only 7 different, but we're getting beat worse than that and DAllas starts with the ball.

It'll all depend on the 2nd half corrections, and if Al comes back in. I trust our coaches to right the ship and win the game.

The main problem we have on Offense is that we haven't gotten a rhythm started yet. Rodgers main problem is that he depends on momentum to move the ball. If he can get things started, we'll roll down the field. But we are having FAR too many 3 and outs.

[falco]

if we have to play them again, we'll have harrell back...that will turn the tide in our favor :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[pbmax]

The way to avoid your D getting tired is not to bomb away. Its to gain first downs. There is nothing horrible about the running game. its about converting 3rd down when there is pressure.

Running and stopping the run; that's what it's all about.

D needs to stop Dallas or this is getting crazy...Jennings will catch 10-12 balls today. If not, DD will get open.

[Brando19]

if we have to play them again, we'll have harrell back...that will turn the tide in our favor :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Does that mean we play Dallas next in 2011? Cuz that's when I expect Harrell back.

[RashanGary]

The weak link has been our offense.

I disagree....our WEAKEST link is our run defense.

Nope. There are ways to stop the run. Offenses take pictures before the snap and jsut as the play starts. Our guys are playing not to get beat. They could be filling hard, instead they are respecing the Dallas passing game. Dallas is taking what we are giving.

They're doing the right thing. The alternative is to be down by 21 right now.

The problem is our offense hasn't moved the ball or gotten in the endzone.

[pbmax]

i say forget the running game. Score points on offense. continue to stop Dallas from getting big plays on offense. The packers won't win a low scoring game.

How did that approach work in the first half of last year's game?

[Harlan Huckleby]

The way to avoid your D getting tired is not to bomb away. Its to gain first downs.

The Cowboys have better lines on both sides of the ball. they will win a ball control game.

[mmmdk]

You're right! It'll be very difficult to accomplish today.

[pbmax]

The difference in this game is one long run and our inability to convert enough 3rd downs and get 1st downs. Close enough to win.

[Brando19]

If the Pcakers do not start playing better I will leave this game aknowledging Dallas is on a different level. They are just beating us down. It's not luck. It's not good calls. It's domination that the score does not give justice to.

Nope. There are ways to stop the run. Offenses take pictures before the snap and jsut as the play starts. Our guys are playing not to get beat. They could be filling hard, instead they are respecing the Dallas passing game. Dallas is taking what we are giving.

They're doing the right thing. The alternative is to be down by 21 right now.

The problem is our offense hasn't moved the ball or gotten in the endzone.

If there are ways to stop Barber tonight...please call McCarthy and give him your expert advice...cuz we can't stop him.

[gbgary]

COME ON PACKER D!!

[pbmax]

God tackle by ROuse.

[Iron Mike]

DD will get open.

Good.......'cuz he's been invisible in the first half.

[Brando19]

If the Pcakers do not start playing better I will leave this game aknowledging Dallas is on a different level. They are just beating us down. It's not luck. It's not good calls. It's domination that the score does not give justice to.

You were saying?

[pbmax]

If this was 1979, I would agree with you.


Running and stopping the run; that's what it's all about.

[Brando19]

Another Packer down....why the hell aren't the Cowboys gettin banged up? This is our turf....we should stand tall!

[pbmax]

Nice tackle. Now we need a stop,

[Iron Mike]

At least Hawk came to play.

[gbgary]

COME ON PACKER D!!

[Lurker64]

Honestly, I don't really recall the Packers ever playing well in primetime (or even late afternoon games) since the early 90s. I wonder why.

[Brando19]

Yes.....cowgirls punt...

[RashanGary]

Tahnk you lord jesus :)

[pbmax]

Nice coverage by TWill and we get a punt.

[PackerTimer]

Ok good stop.

[Guiness]

Nice - finally a 3rd down stop. TWill on Owens too, and kept him covered.

[Iron Mike]

#92

[Brando19]

Darn....startin on the 12 yard line....not good position.

[Gunakor]

Tramon Williams on Terrell Owens scares me a bit though...

[RashanGary]

The offense really needs to do their job here. Run, pass, whatever works but it has to get done right here and preferrably take a little time.

[gbgary]

ok now MM...pull your head out and let's get some first downs.

[PackerTimer]

Time to get a nice drive and tie this sucker up.

[Iron Mike]

Darn....startin on the 12 yard line....not good position.

Let's see the M3 halftime adjustment.

[gex]

KGB looks old and tired out there, he ran into the blocker and just fizzed out.

[RashanGary]

ok now MM...pull your head out and let's get some first downs.

I'm blaming the OL so far. They're not exactly opening up big holes and Rodgers is getting very quick pressure almost every dropback.

[Brando19]

Ok McCarthy...show why you're worth the big bucks right here....

[mmmdk]

If this was 1979, I would agree with you.


Running and stopping the run; that's what it's all about.

Today! It a run oriented game - TODAY!! Not the the whole season.

Don't smart a@@ me; I've been calling pass all day. Oh - you didn't like the NY Giants SB win in 2008.

[Lurker64]

It would be very nice to get a drive that scores points here.

[RashanGary]

KGB looks old and tired out there, he ran into the blocker and just fizzed out.

Good observation. The hotel sure dind't look phased by his speed.

[pbmax]

D lines are close. Cowboys have Ware which we cannot match. Not that different there. No reason not to run.

Pass on run downs? Great. Run on pass downs? Even better. Without a screen game, that will be harder.



The way to avoid your D getting tired is not to bomb away. Its to gain first downs.

The Cowboys have better lines on both sides of the ball. they will win a ball control game.

[mmmdk]

Time to get a nice drive and tie this sucker up.

Amen!

[Brando19]

Grant ran out of his shoe!

[pbmax]

I can't believe they ran again! Five yards a run isn't getting it done :cry:



:lol:

[Brando19]

Go BJack!

[red]

omg, a first down

[RashanGary]

Nice playcalling and excecution.

[pbmax]

12 yards on 2 carries. First down without throwing. mmdk and harlan are confused

[Lurker64]

Good to see positive plays on first down. Positive plays on first down lead to more first downs.

[Guiness]

Nice draw by Jackson

edit: I hate is when they refer to the round as when the player was picked. They just called BJack the '#2 pick'. Earlier, Hawk was the '#1 pick'.

[PackerTimer]

Couple of nice runs by BJack.

[pbmax]

3 runs in a row. Clearly the Packer coaches are full of it. Cows could coach better.

[Iron Mike]

That's right......wear THEIR defense down!!!!

[Lurker64]

That was a nice run by Jackson, but I can't help but think that Grant would have found a way to get a couple more yards out of it.

[Brando19]

Jackson running with authority!

[red]

nice running by jackson

[gbgary]

ok...here's a perfect spot for a play action roll out

[pbmax]

Four in a row? Whay is this 1962? :lol:

Listen to the message boards/!! Bombs away is the way to go.

[RashanGary]

wow, when you thnk pass McCarthy will run every time.

[Badgerinmaine]

Honestly, I don't really recall the Packers ever playing well in primetime (or even late afternoon games) since the early 90s. I wonder why.

'Cause they don't put the Lions on then? :P

[pbmax]

Five in a row. McCarthy is in the tank. Hes on the take. They aren't even trying to cover!
