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

[RashanGary]

#4 wins tonight.

[Zool]

Why cant we play against a 3-4? Is it really so foreign to our team that we're powerless against it?

[Charles Woodson]

YES


Another chance for our offense to get killed :flag:

Attention JH, the lions need their attitude back...

[Iron Mike]

For as well as Jenkins was doing at the beginning of the game, he sure has been doing a lot of flopping around on the ground in the backfield in the second half.

[The Gunshooter]

I hope the Bigby/Collins bashing stops soon. Rouse is an idiot.

Collins gave up the long pass that made it 20-9. In his defense no db can cover when you run the same defense every play. I used to hate Fritz Shurmer because he would stubbornly rush 4 but at least he had Reggie White and adjusted when he couldn't get pressure.

[gbgary]

hmmm. quick short passes working.

[Brando19]

Why the hell do the Packers light it up when they're down 18 with a few minutes to go? Damn..woulda been nice in the previous 3 quarters.

[Iron Mike]

Tonight the concern is pass pro on blitzes, Tony Moll and Rodgers bailing on pressure too fast.

I hate to bring it up, but with our OL, how many picks do you think Ole #4 would have thrown tonight???

I dunno. How many TD's do you think #4 would have thrown? :roll:

Just playing Devil's advocate there. :P

[red]

hmmm. quick short passes working.

imagine that

[Zool]

Prevent umbrella D.

[PackerTimer]

Well this probably has a lot to do with the defense that they're playing against.

[gbgary]

hmmm...a pass to a back.

[Iron Mike]

Nice job OL.

[red]

d's p,ahying prevent, bend don't break.

we'll look better now, but run out the clock

[Zool]

Maybe Colledge should spend less time in a tattoo shop and more time in a weight room?

[imscott72]

Jeez not much of anything has gone right tonight..

[RIPackerFan]

Dallas is letting them get whatever they want underneath. Let GB burn time off the clock.

[Bretsky]

The better team won.


True; the more you watch Dallas the better you realize they are.

[gbgary]

Dallas is letting them get whatever they want underneath. Let GB burn time off the clock.

underneath has been open all night.

[red]

smart by rodgers, dumb by everyone else

[RIPackerFan]

Smart play by Rogers - throw it in the end zone and see what happens - with the offsides, no harm no foul.

[GBRulz]

well... I think Jordy should bypass JJ on the depth chart. Sorry, 007 !

[red]

sorry to say

but we've given up. we're not trying to win right now. we're taking our time and burning too much time

[gbgary]

AR almost got jordy killed there. :lol:

[red]

go for 2

[Brando19]

Onside kick coming....this is it....

[Zool]

Grats to all AR fantasy owners. Thats a quick 13pts from that drive.

[The Gunshooter]

It is sort of stupid to not take Rodgers out after Dallas went up 27-9.

[mission]

#4 wins tonight.

you're drunk.

he gets decapitated.

[PackerTimer]

Well at least that's good for my fantasy football team.

[Bretsky]

Why the hell do the Packers light it up when they're down 18 with a few minutes to go? Damn..woulda been nice in the previous 3 quarters.


prevent defense

[Scott Campbell]

sorry to say

but we've given up. we're not trying to win right now. we're taking our time and burning too much time




The fat lady sang a long time ago.

[gbgary]

so that's how they make those little squiggles in chocolates. wow.

[Brando19]

#4 wins tonight.

you're drunk.

he gets decapitated.

I think he means in the big scheme of things....with all the "What if's" and the TT didn't make the right decision stuff.

[mission]

oh ... i guess.

[GBRulz]

It is sort of stupid to not take Rodgers out after Dallas went up 27-9.

I was thinking the same thing about Barber

[gbgary]

watch out for another loooong one.

[Brando19]

Good night people...we live to watch another game....i just dread going to work tomorrow and hearing all the shit from every one of the Cowboys fans...i hope I don't come down with the flu all of a sudden. :lol:

[GBRulz]

At least I won't have to hear too much crap from my boss tomorrow about our loss.....considering he's a Patriots fan !!

[imscott72]

Good night people...we live to watch another game....i just dread going to work tomorrow and hearing all the shit from every one of the Cowboys fans...i hope I don't come down with the flu all of a sudden. :lol:

No kidding. I'm already getting the text messages.."How bout them Cowboys!" :roll:

[RashanGary]

Rodgers had a bad game, but the OL was really bad too.

The better team definitly won.

[gbgary]

andrea kramer...miles, how does it feel to catch two touchdowns tonight?

andrea...miles, how does it feel to look like alex rodriquez?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I hope the Bigby/Collins bashing stops soon. Rouse is an idiot.
There hasnt been much if any this season

??? Rouse played a pretty good game. He was a tackling machine.

[imscott72]

Oh well, time to finish watching the last game ever at Yankee Stadium..

[Harlan Huckleby]

Rodgers had a bad game, but the OL was really bad too.

The better team definitly won.

I thought the OL played OK, and so did Rodgers.

[Zool]

Really no FG?

[RashanGary]

For what it's worth, Jordy catches the ball pretty well. Jenkins had antoher nice night too.

[RashanGary]

Rodgers had a bad game, but the OL was really bad too.

The better team definitly won.

I thought the OL played OK, and so did Rodgers.

Wow, what was the problem then? 9 points isnt'e very good.

[Iron Mike]

I don't care what anybody says, Hawk is a Man-beast. :worship:

[imscott72]

WTF was that....lol....

[Brando19]

Driver really wants to win....i love that guy.

[red]

well, here we go lol

[gbgary]

that's embarrassing

[Zool]

They forgot the Benny Hill music and put the play in fast forward.

[red]

driver and hawk haven't given up yet

hawk showed a lot of heart stopping whitten on 4th

[Harlan Huckleby]

Yep, the run game is low on the list of concerns after tonight.
Yea, but the play calling might be, like why we didnt run more?

They did try and run more in the second half. All it did was run down the clock, even though they had some success.

I think their best strategy in the 2nd half would have been to go to the no-huddle offense and spread the field. Probably it would not have worked, but that might have been their best chance.

[Brando19]

What are the odds of a comeback?

[RashanGary]

I don't care what anybody says, Hawk is a Man-beast. :worship:

I'm a little retarded so I mgiht have missed this joke. Did Hawk do anything tonight, was he bad or was this just a random statement to break up the depression?

[MJZiggy]

What are the odds of a comeback?

Slim to "I'm going to bed."

[RashanGary]

OK, who wants to jerk off?

[gbgary]

OK, who wants to jerk off?

now THAT was unfortunate.

[red]

What are the odds of a comeback?

Slim to "I'm going to bed."

ditto

Read red's post three before yours.

[Iron Mike]

Hey, let's involve the TE in the passing game in the last minute.....nice halftime adjustment.

[Iron Mike]

Nice job OL.

[Zool]

Ok all the O-lineman...all together now

OLE!

[RashanGary]

What are the odds of a comeback?

Slim to "I'm going to bed."

ditto

Yeah right you goofy looking bastard

[PackerTimer]

I think it's time for the Packers to concede this and go home.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The O-line wasn't that bad.

The recievers weren't getting open, too many dropped balls.

[Zool]

Did he really just....

never mind.

[RashanGary]

The O-line wasn't that bad.

The recievers weren't getting open, too many dropped balls.

I'll watch it again. I don't remember a lot of dropped balls.

[GBRulz]

I'll watch it again. I don't remember a lot of dropped balls. I don't, either. Jones dropped a crucial 3rd down pass, otherwise they were doing pretty well.

Was that drop right in the beginning?

you're right, it wasn't exactly a case of the recievers dropping easy catches. But Rodgers seemed to be just missing his recievers all night, they were not in a good rhythm. A lot of balls sailing off finger tips.

Rodgers generally had enough time to throw, the O-line wasn't getting killed. Romo had all day too often.

Was that drop right in the beginning? No, the first pass was pretty low, so I don't fault him for that. I think the pass I'm referring to was in the 2nd qtr.

[Iron Mike]

Well, we shut down T.O. this time around. :shock: :drma:

[GBRulz]

wow, that guy has gorgeous eyes

I've watched it again, the pass was low but very catchable, right in his hands. Jones screwed up the two balls that were thrown to him.

[Iron Mike]

Rodgers generally had enough time to throw, the O-line wasn't getting killed.

Were you watching the same game I was watching???

The OL was brutal. :roll:

[Brohm]

Rodgers needs to see that delayed CB/SS blitz and get the ball out as well.

[Harlan Huckleby]

no. break-out some of the Packer games against the Vikings in the dome to see a brutal offensive line. John Randall era.

The offensive line had a rough time, the defensive line was better. Rodgers never had a LOT of time to get comfortable. But it was not a blow out.

[pbmax]

Rodgers did a poor job of buying time in the pocket tonight. He was too quick to flee to the outside and more often than not got caught by the fast Dallas ends. He needed to step up or get rid of the ball faster on several occasions. But those movements aren't second nature to him yet, it will come.

And for the first time in a while, since Dallas last year perhaps, we run blocked better than we pass blocked.

I really think that's attributed to the 3-4 D. I don't think our guys know what to do with a NT lined up directly over the center and the ends are between the guards and tackles.

[gbgary]

we're two and one. no biggie. a loss against the class of the nfc. the season is long and they're still trying to find out what works and doesn't work. everyone will learn from this game. a little less shotgun, a little more protection, take what the D gives you. our D did pretty well considering how much they were on the field. no serious injuries i believe.

[Partial]

Well, defensively it was about all you can ask them to do. They were gased by the end from playing almost the entire half.

Playcalling left a lot to be desired. Why not take a shot deep? 3.5 minute drive at the end? WTF was that? Hamlin is far from a ballhawk and Williams is out. Take a shot and test them vertically.

Aaron Rodgers showed that he is tough tonight. He laid a nice block on Driver's ballyhoo, and took some shots. However, either the coverage was absolutely excellent or he isn't taking any chances or he isn't reading the field fast enough.

Bad game all around. Defensively we did well.

this is Pro football right?.. we're in trouble if we cant coach against a 3-4

agree. they probably did try to go long but AR was sacked/hurried waiting for the guy to come open.

[Freak Out]

Blah.....
