Official Packers vs. Bucs Game Thread

[BallHawk]

My turn. As some of you may know, I have an excellent record at starting game threads in the Brewer forum.

The only way we lose this game is if we beat ourselves and make mistakes. We're a better team than the Bucs, plan and simple.

[Kyle.McCarroll]

If Griese has to throw 67 passes like last week, we win by 20.

[BallHawk]

On a lighter note, I found this quite humorous.

My turn. As some of you may know, I have an excellent record at starting game threads in the Brewer forum.

The only way we lose this game is if we beat ourselves and make mistakes. We're a better team than the Bucs, plan and simple.

My biggest worry at this point is the health of our team. We're thin at receiver with Jones out. Ruvell coming back should help our red zone offense, but it'd be nice having all 5 guys on the field at the same time. Also, we're sore at safety. Collins and Rouse are both still gimpy and having Peprah and Bush back there doesn't really inspire confidence.

If we come out of this game healthier than we go in, we should win. Tramon will be under pressure, but he can get the job done if he plays smart and confidently. I expect the O and D lines to have big games to makeup for dropping the ball last week. If Rodgers has protection and Grant can get a window, the offense will roll.

We should win... which always makes me nervous. Prove you can get the job done, Packers.

If you've read the Brewers threads...........you know............

it's already time to start blaming BH for dooming this team to a loss

[Rastak]

Should be a very interesting day in the NFL!


The Vikes and the Packers have road games against two tough defenses. I think the Vikes have a little tougher game, but not by too much.

Vikings get Sidney Rice back and Peterson seems to be healthy after tweaking his hammy a couple weeks ago. Ryan Grant is back as is Wells. Packers secondary is banged up to say the least but the Vikings are pretty healthy on the defensive side of the ball.

My picks based on all this?

Vikes over Tennesee in a very close game.
Bucs over the Pack in a higher scoring game. I would normally take Green bay in this game but if they don't find a strong pass rush I think they may be in some trouble.

[GBRulz]

It's currently 76 in Tampa with overcast skies & 63% humidity. Per some local news station site in Tampa. That isn't too terribly bad. It's not like WI never gets humid :shock:

[arcilite]

I was watching the ESPN pre-game show and they had a little tidbit about Ryan Grant.

They said coaches would yell at him during long runs in games to 'slow donw' because of his hamstring.

But they said he is now healthy and will be at full speed all the time.

So lets unleash some Ryan Grant this week on the Bucs.

Nice return by Blackmon.

We're coming out running. 3rd and 1.

[Bretsky]

this will be close but chalk it up as a First Down

[GBRulz]

wow, M3 being aggressive....keep it up!!

[Lurker64]

The QB sneak on 4th and inches works better with Spitz at center, I believe.

[Bretsky]

[Tarlam!]

Wow, love it!!!

[Lurker64]

It would be nice if guys could catch those.

[GBRulz]

YEAH Jordy !!

[Fosco33]

4 straight runs (an extra sneak b/c of bad, unchallenged spots).

Then ARod doesn't ditch it and loses almost 2 - to then throw an out....

Hmm. Lucky for the offside call -- otherwise we'd see some delayed draw.

I mean, he even included having the Tampa CBs fall down on cue. Its about time. :lol:

Proof once again that if it works, its great. If it doesn't or we lose, its all the coaches fault. Or the QBs.

Are those the old NY Ttitans unis they had last year--the navy blue and gold ones?

I agree. The Defense played well, they held TO to two catches but in the end were just on the field too long. The offense.... well, that's another story.

The run defense was mediocre, though. But you can't (with a straight face) blame the loss on that!

[Tarlam!]

I'm watching via the net (paid 160 USD for the season). The commercials are HD quality, but the game is really poor quality.

I don't care so much that the 4th down attempt we just went for was successful as much as I like seeing us set the tone and be aggressive. We almost lost our first two games because of being too conservative when we were ahead, that was my point..not the number of 4th down attempts we've gone for this season.

[Fosco33]

Pack played a dominating D last week and made some 'interesting' playcalls. Agree they need to get back into ++ on TOP and establish a running game.

I like the outs and slants today. I haven't liked M3's choices on 2nd and short the past 2 years (it's a throwing down if you trust your RB).

[retailguy]

the line looks better so far.... Could wells really make that much difference?

[J-Rok]

I don't want to jinx anything.. but I think the Packers will start to finish games. I think this'll be withotu fingernail biting.

They're looking really efficient.

Except for that horrible throw by Rodgers

Don't underestimate the competition! It is the bucs, you know. I think considering the agressiveness of the bucs, it looks OK so far.... I think with Moll in there it would be much much worse...

We'll see... Long game today, I think.

[J-Rok]

I don't know why, but I'm getting really annoyed by Rodger's scrambling. It feels like he's just scrambling out of habit and he takes half of his receivers out of the play because of it.

I'm probably way off, but that's what it feels like from the Cowboys game and today. Teams know he'll scramble, so they're swarming when he leaves the pocket. he's not getting any of those easy first downs anymore.

[pbmax]

Good Ref D!

He's getting pressure up the middle and his initial reads aren't open.

How can you have illegal contact before the snap?

[Fosco33]

Turfmonster and flag after the pass was dropped.

Weak.

That's bullshit... Hilliard ran into Woodson, Wood didn't initiate contact. What a BS call.

Then referees got paid by Bruce Allen and gave Bucs a favorable spot, which I mistakenly wrote as mark.

Will Blackmon. It's like he's not even there. He just sort of runs behind his guy, lets him catch it and then tackles him. Uh, dude, your job is to stop the ball from getting there. Sorta like Al, Cuck and TWill. They go after the ball.

He did that all preseason. He hasn't made one play all season. He's just invisible as a corner and that might be the biggest possible insult you can give a corner.

He's kinda right though. Blackmon isn't trying to make plays on the ball. His coverage has been poor. He's fast as lightning and an excellent return guy but he's not a great DB.

[Lurker64]

Offense isn't inspiring a lot of confidence here.

[retailguy]

yikes! :shock:

Meanwhile.... Favre throws his second TD to coles.... Thank God I started Coles today!

[Fosco33]

Questionable PF call on the return (it wasn't below the knees on the replay).

Then a no call on the dropped INT by Brooks (TB defender spiked the ball at him) - should've been a delay of game. I think.

Get out of the way stupid refs.

[RashanGary]

Offense isn't inspiring a lot of confidence here.

We had some success running on the edges. Tampa adjusted. We had some pentalties.

It's a long game, but Aaron has to stay in it. The offense has ot make the next adjustment and maybe try some cutback runs against an overly aggressive defense.

[Tarlam!]

M3 needs to start calling some real plays.

[Fosco33]

Is Grant healthy enough to play (I mean really play - be successful).

If not, they should've sat him last week (and this week).

Short term vs. long term.

If he is healthy enough and keeps playing like this - it's gonna be a long year. ARod is not yet good enough to play without a running game.

[GBRulz]

oh man

[Fosco33]

Is this game indicative of that 'good defense' that you guys are talking about?

27th seems about right. I'll give the DLine some credit so far though.

Missed tackles, lots of penalties, poor blitz scheme, etc, etc.

Yes, they have gone away from attacking wide after the first few drives. That'll return though, if nothing else they were getting flags for first downs.

[RashanGary]

Bush in, GOOD LORD

I hate to say it, but he's probably better than Blackmon.

[Fosco33]

So what is Blackmon's injury?? Could've only been an arm/shoulder from the way he hit the guy at the hips on the PF call?

Come on announcers - do your job.

He's turned an ugly preseason into an ugly start to the season. He's put on a clinic for how not to tackle so far in this early season.

[retailguy]

man... Tampa is really fired up!

[GBRulz]

They're running it down our throats.

Perhaps they watched game film from last week

Have I given you a cyber kiss today?

na, you never give me nothin' :lol:

[pbmax]

They're running it down our throats.

The Buccaneers at 10 rushes for 24 yards. What game are you guys watching?

[pbmax]

Wells just got driven back.

[RashanGary]

Tampa is really overpursueing the stretch run game. Might be a good time for a cut back runs.

And they tried.

[GBRulz]

I forgot about Hovan.

Wasn't he banged up a bit in pre season - maybe he's got an injury that we don't know about...

[RashanGary]

It's a good thing we have Jennings :lol:

[gbgary]

hovan needs fined for that jersey. :lol:

[pbmax]

Guys are coming through before the cutback.

If Clifton can't pass block then there is no reason to be out there.

I think they're referring to Dunn's activity via short passes over the middle.

That sack was ugly. disregard what I said earlier about the OL. My hope has evaporated.

[RashanGary]

shit.

[bobblehead]

I'm sorry, is clifton that bad all of a sudden? He is a revolving door out there.

[retailguy]

meltdown... :shock: :(

[pbmax]

It wasn't a force, it was a bad throw after pressure. Driver was open.

[red]

alright i have to say it

i've been holding it in because i have too much respect for the guy

but clifton has lost it. its time to look for a replacement for him too

[GBRulz]

almost looked like he had possession of that ball...

[Fred's Slacks]

I thought dallas was good. I am beginning to think our o line is shit.

[Fosco33]

Jeez cliffy - you pushed him faster into ARod.

Please don't tell me we're gonna go all max protect all day.

Now that INT was ARod's fault. 3 white jersey's, high throw.

Felt like I was watching Favre.

Barnett has poor coverage today as well.

Looking good. :roll:

[RashanGary]

Go after Barnett. Good idea. That's what I'd do.

[Bretsky]

bad throw; DD was wide open

[pbmax]

And that's why we don't blitz muh. Barnett looked like a commuter in traffic there.

[Rastak]

I'm sorry, is clifton that bad all of a sudden? He is a revolving door out there.


Rumor has it his left nut is outstanding.

On a good note for you guys, Peterson coughs it up deep in Vikings territory.

[RashanGary]

Wow, that was a nice play by Jenkins.

[pbmax]

Jeez cliffy - you pushed him faster into ARod.

Please don't tell me we're gonna go all max protect all day.

Not quite, he was getting hit when throwing, should say moving away from being hit

[bobblehead]

Wow, that was a nice play by Jenkins.

Jenkins and Jolly have been big all game...woodsen has been the officials bitch.

[GBRulz]

I feel like deja vu..watching the badgers self destruct from yesterday

[pbmax]

bad throw; DD was wide open
Pressure caused the bad throw.

[Fosco33]

These 'delayed' blitzes don't seem to be working. Why not conventional?

And Hawk's blizt looked slower than Barnett in the previous 1st down throw.

[RashanGary]

And that's why we don't blitz muh. Barnett looked like a commuter in traffic there.\

Yep. He has no clue how to time a blitz. He always comes running up as soon as the QB changes his tone. The protection sees it and then the Packers lose. Every time. Nick Barnett. Yippy .

[GBRulz]

uggg, Collins you need to hang on to that ball !!!

[pbmax]

There's the Brian Griese I remember.

[gbgary]

gotta have that nick

[red]

fucking collins

it doesn't get easier then that

[Fred's Slacks]

There's the Brian Griese I remember.

Also the Nick Collins we all remember.

[retailguy]

that was ugly!

[bobblehead]

This is the same OL that was strong at the end of last season and now they are stinking up the joint for the second week in a row....grant hasn't had daylight yet.

[gbgary]

stop them here

[retailguy]

pfffft... :?

[Fosco33]

Ouch. wide open... that was a pick 6 and he was thinking too far ahead.

Field conditions look like favoring TB. And of course, poor tackling extends this drive.

Not on the offense.... gotta admit our D is not that solid.

[pbmax]

I don't think Wells is helping, but everything is crumbling as well. Who could sort it out?

[RashanGary]

Rodgers is experiencing his first real extended bout of adversity. Let's see how he handles the challenge of bouncing back.

[arcilite]

Ugh, Bucs about to score again.

And they will get the ball to start the 2nd half.


and the Packers always play worse in the 2nd half.

great.

[gbgary]

tennesee's about to score again

[Fred's Slacks]

Ouch. wide open... that was a pick 6 and he was thinking too far ahead.

Not on the offense.... gotta admit our D is not that solid.

If I remember correctly it was a pick that put us here and the D isn't getting a break. You can't expect the D to come up with big stops when the O can't stay on the field. Minus the first series the O has been pathetic.

[Rastak]

Viking update.....shitty spot of 4th down and goal gives Titans the 1st.


TD Titans


20-7 Titans.

[GBRulz]

TN up 20-7

[Rastak]

TN up 20-7

I just said that.... :wink:

Woodson should make that tackle and force a decent FG.

Collins should pick that off.

That's on the D.

Agree the O isn't playing well either. That's why this game hasn't been fun to watch yet.

[GBRulz]

also, a little surprising that KC is up over Denver

[red]

say it again

i love the sound of that

[RashanGary]

Defense is playing OK. The offense is struggling for two weeks in a row now.

[retailguy]

Rodgers is experiencing his first real extended bout of adversity. Let's see how he handles the challenge of bouncing back.

You do realize you're going to deservedly get tons of crap about this, right?

[GBRulz]

TN up 20-7

I just said that.... :wink:

yeah!! Not a good day for either one of us so far, is it?

The D has been put into two bad situations by the O and have yielded 6 points. That;s not dominating, but its not awful.

How is Chris Johnson doing?

[Brando19]

It's worth saying again..and again..and again... :)

[arcilite]

We're only down 6.


For some reason it feels like we are down 14.

But I can live with this.

I think it's pretty damn good, considering... They aren't the Ravens, but I'll take it.

[pbmax]

There is no doubt the D can play better. But the O is leading the awful parade.

I think we're damn fortunate.

[RashanGary]

Wow, Jordy has some reliable hands.

[GBRulz]

Jets are having a field day against AZ. 31-0...Favre with 3 TD's already. 007 must be happy in FF !

[Brando19]

Jets up 31-0...Favre with 3 TD's.

[pbmax]

My fear is that the running game will disappear now for the entire game. This drive, certainly. But it better come back.

[pbmax]

Colledge. Just ignored it.

[Bretsky]

Wow, Jordy has some reliable hands.


What was impressive to me was Jorday knowing enough to get out of bounce

Rodgers needs to feel that rush and get rid of the ball

[GBRulz]

enough time for 2 hail mary attempts !!

[pbmax]

Does that screen count? I mean it the two minute drill, but it still counts right?

Nicely done. :D

[GrnBay007]

Jets are having a field day against AZ. 31-0...Favre with 3 TD's already. 007 must be happy in FF !

Ok, I am! :mrgreen: He's keeping me in the game.

[Brando19]

34-0 Jets at the half now....kurt warner is having a sucky day...i believe he hurt his hand earlier.

[Bretsky]

I picture cpk shouting profanities at D Johnson and taking a baseball bat to his TV after he noted that Favre will always be a Packer :lol:

[pbmax]

enough time for 2 hail mary attempts !!
Nope, throw to out of bounds and then FG.

[GBRulz]

Do you need a RB? I have Grant to trade, lol.

[retailguy]

Jets up 31-0...Favre with 3 TD's.

pretty good for an old stupid guy.

[Brando19]

Did you see the big number 4 graphic they put on the field to make a shadow go over the Packers offense?

[Fosco33]

Ouch. That's 3 points.

[Bretsky]

beautiful pass; come on Jennings. Gotta make that catch

[pbmax]

We do enough dopey things to just kill us when we struggle and don't have the big plays going our way.

[GrnBay007]

Jets up 31-0...Favre with 3 TD's.

pretty good for an old stupid guy.

:lol:

C'mon, its the Cardinals! :lol:

[retailguy]

yeah, I saw that. pretty true.... and will be for a long time..... I was wondering how they did that...

[Bretsky]

Can Brian Griese even throw a ball 55 yards ???

[RashanGary]

pretty good for an old stupid guy.

The story of his career.

[GrnBay007]

Well.....halftime. Time to regroup and come out strong!

[Rastak]

Jets up 31-0...Favre with 3 TD's.

pretty good for an old stupid guy.
C'mon, its the Cardinals! :lol:

Those aren't your fathers Cardinals!

[pbmax]

Penalties, drops, bad pass pro, bad throw missed tackles and missed coverages. Watch the right plays and we look like a pathetic football team.

Just do enough to kill our own chances.

[arcilite]

Well, they look like 'em today....

[Rastak]

Go ahead GBM...


oh, you are probably taking a halftime break. Vikings drive and get the FG....20-10 Titans.....

[Fosco33]

Jeez, if I'm a coach and I see guys walking off the field with hanging their heads down, I'm f-ing irrate.

These guys are pros.

No bitching about 'being tired' - esp in 2nd Q! Gotta keep your strongest muscle in the game (the one between your ears).

Did we win the toss and elect to receive (I always prefer to start on D) - or did TB defer? I've noticed a trend over the last few years - gotta start on D.

[Brando19]

Jets up 31-0...Favre with 3 TD's.

pretty good for an old stupid guy.

No doubt....Justin Harrell...hope you are watching Favre today.

[RashanGary]

Rodgers looks a little confused. He's holding the ball and generally throwing off rythm. I'm not sure what Tampa is doing, but it's confusing him.
