[GBRulz]

Good Morning Rats.... it's another beautiful day for Packer football ! Sunny day and a high of 75 degrees today, little wind. Sorry, meant to get this thread started earlier this morning, but bloody mary's took priority..LOL.

Off to go tailgate now with some friends..... GO PACK GO !!!!

[Bretsky]

I'm in ILL getting ready to roadtrip back

The rats will be happy to know I talked some serious smack to Bear Fans last night

[KYPack]

Everybody is getting ready to go in their own, wierd little ways.

I think we get 'em today

Go Pack!

[Fritz]

Me, I'm stuck grading essays and trying to figure out if CBS is showing Chicago-Pittsburgh or Green Bay-Cinci.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

(Sorry - I am hung ovehhhh)

[Scott Campbell]

I'm looking forward to our offense showing that last weeks output was the exception to the rule. Rack up some yards and score some damned points!!!

[Tony Oday]

I am stuck at work...one freaking Sunday a year and work a whopping 4 hours...ugh

SO GO PACK! I think we see 150 and 2 TDs by Grant today! ;)

[Fritz]

I just found the game day inactives - Raji's inactive again. This is a bit of a surprise - I thought he was good to go. But I suppose they're being careful so he doesn't get beat up next week on the turf in St. Lou.

How many minutes until someone posts "Raji = Harrell"?

Raji = Harrell

The over-under was 2. I'M RICH! :twisted:

[Fritz]

Ding Ding Ding Ding!!!!

Thanks for helping us get that out of the way, KY.

Glad someone's on board with the game day thread too. Good to have ya, you old coot.

Me, I'm a middle-aged coot. If I'm lucky, I'll get to where you are someday.

Thanks, Ballhawk, but I did find that site. My problem is that Detroit - or whomever it is that makes these decisions - sometimes doesn't show the doubleheader.
So I might get paid programming about the new Ronco slicer-dicer for three frickin' hours, then get the Chicago-Pittsburgh game.

It blows. Big time. I'm waiting for the day when you get a menu from your cable company with every possible channel and such, and you order ala carte. My dream is to have about fifteen channels total, one of which would guarantee I'd see every single Packer game.

Good for TWO meals on gameday :D

[Tony Oday]

I'd Rather Raji get healthy than force him against a team that can't run...we NEED him against AP.

[Gunakor]

I'd Rather Raji get healthy than force him against a team that can't run...we NEED him against AP.

He's pretty good at collapsing the pocket as well. When he's on a bull rush he's a monster.

[boiga]

Go PACK!

I'm off to the bar because it's not shown locally here in Tucson. The game starts at 10:00 am here too, so I have to hope they'll be serving breakfast.

Enjoy the game gents and ladies.

[KYPack]

Secet agent KY here in the Cincy area.

The local coverage of the Packer Bengals game is a homage to Lambeau field and the Packer mystique. The announcers are bemoaning the fact that it's been 14 years since the Bengals have played in lambeau.

A real humerous moment happened when the announcers stated that the Bengals two road victories over the Bengals both happened in Milw. A caller asked, "Did the Packers used to be located in Milwaukee"? The announcer stumbled thru the reply.

It's way cool to hear how much out of towners respect the Pack and Lambeau/GB.

[VegasPackFan]

ESPN just said JENNINGS OUT!!!

[SkinBasket]

ESPN just said JENNINGS OUT!!!

Good, now all those Ruvell fans can rub it our faces.

[VegasPackFan]

Now they're waffling - has anyone heard about Jennings not playing?!

[Gunakor]

ESPN just said JENNINGS OUT!!!

He's not listed on the inactives list on their website, and all reports I've read have him playing today. Are you certain you heard that correctly?

[Partial]

The inactives according to JSO are:

S Atari Bigby, RB Brandon Jackson, CB Brandon Underwood, FB Quinn Johnson, LB Brad Jones, G Evan-Dietrich Smith, RT Breno Giacomini, NT B.J. Raji

No Maha-raji

[Fritz]

No, but check this - on the nfl site it said that Clifton was listed on the injury report - as a "non-injury related" issue. What? Does he have the flu or something?

What the hell is going on?

[BallHawk]

ESPN just said JENNINGS OUT!!!

I've been watching ESPN and I haven't head a thing about Jennings. JSO doesn't have anything, either.

I can't find confirmation of this yet.

Bengals-Packers: pre-game report-Raji inactive
By Greg A. Bedard of the Journal Sentinel
Sept. 20, 2009 10:54 a.m.

Green Bay - Greeting from Lambeau Field.

Weather is very nice, a little cloudy, but should be a great day for football.

Here are the inactives and roster changes for each team:

Packers inactives: S Atari Bigby, RB Brandon Jackson, CB Brandon Underwood, FB Quinn Johnson, LB Brad Jones, G Evan-Dietrich Smith, RT Breno Giacomini, NT B.J. Raji.

Packers lineup changes: None.

Bengals inactives: QB Jordan Palmer (3rd QB), CB David Jones, S Tom Nelson, G Nate Livings, T Andre Smith, TE Chase Coffman, WR Jerome Simpson, DE Frostee Rucker.

Bengals lineup changes: Evan Mathis will start for Livings at LG.

ANALYSIS

The big surprise is Raji, but perhaps it shouldn't. Raji was limping badly on his right ankle after each practice this week. The more curious decision, if Raji's inactive status is indeed tied to his health, is why the Packers practiced him fully this week. It probably would have made more sense to rest him and get him completely recovered.

With the injury to Bigby, the Packers could have just wanted more numbers in the secondary as Derrick Martin is active. It's also clear that Jamon Meredith is the backup at left tackle should something happen to Chad Clifton and Daryn Colledge, who is active with his foot sprain.

[Partial]

The great Jennings went on a bender in Vegas scandal continues

[BallHawk]

No, but check this - on the nfl site it said that Clifton was listed on the injury report - as a "non-injury related" issue. What? Does he have the flu or something?

What the hell is going on?

That or maybe a family issue.

I've been watching ESPN and I haven't head a thing about Jennings. JSO doesn't have anything, either.

They just talked about it on Fantasy Surround on the internet. Noton the TV broadcast. First they said out, then they said not sure and waiting for update.

[falco]

Also, Bedard says that Meredith is backing up Clifton at LT in case Colledge gets hurt.

I thought Meredith was on the PS? Did we activate him?

[Fritz]

I saw that too. What the hell is all this game day craziness?

Hello, JSO. Instead of carping on "if Raji's not playing why did they practice him," how about some updates on Meredith and Jennings and Clifton.

[falco]

Packers.com showing Meredith still on the PS.

[falco]

Jennings is active, so I'm assuming he is playing.

Why would he be out anyway?

[Gunakor]

Jennings is active, so I'm assuming he is playing.

Why would he be out anyway?

He was listed as probable on the injury report with a minor wrist issue, but nothing that should keep him from playing today.

[Partial]

I think they're implying they will activate Meredith if necessary.

[Fritz]

Isn't it too late to do that today? All the inactives have been listed, and if you're going to move someone up, someone else has got to go.

[Rastak]

Jennings is active, so I'm assuming he is playing.

Why would he be out anyway?


He's injured.

[Scott Campbell]

I've got a little over 15 minutes to make a Go/No Go decision on Jennings today. Right now I'm playing him. If anyone hears any more on his status, please post it.

The CBS guys calling the game haven't said anything about Jennings being out. You'd think that'd be a hot topic of conversation leading up to kickoff if he was, so I think you're safe to play him.

[green_bowl_packer]

WTMJ just did injury report no mention of Jennings.

[Scott Campbell]

Thanks fellas. I'm playing him.

[MOBB DEEP]

LETS GOOOO....

[imscott72]

Here we go Pack..Here's to a solid game by Barbre..

[gbgary]

ed hockaloogie getting a little old looking.

[MOBB DEEP]

de

[Lurker64]

Can nobody catch a pass today?

[imscott72]

Catch the ball!!!

[Partial]

They look really sloppy so far. Two bad passes, one bad drop by Jennings. Bengals have had pretty good pressure so far. ARod is happy feeting right now.

Why are they playing Maualuga on the outside? I don't like that move.

[Gunakor]

2 drops on the first drive. Not very inspiring.

[gbgary]

wanted to run before he had it. he'll make up for that in a big way.

[Partial]

Spitzer Have-ner :lol:

[imscott72]

AP just coughed up the ball. Lions ball in Vikes territory..

[Partial]

Kampman was all over that TE on 1st down completion for first down.

Chillar and Barnett are the ILBs to start the game. Hawk in on the second down.

[Gunakor]

They look really sloppy so far. Two bad passes, one bad drop by Jennings. Bengals have had pretty good pressure so far. ARod is happy feeting right now.

Why are they playing Maualuga on the outside? I don't like that move.

I think the protection was pretty good in that first drive. There wasn't any really tough pressure in that drive, and Rodgers seemed to be able to comfortably step up to avoid the edge rushers. I saw one poor pass, 2 drops, and one PI in 4 pass attempts. Not sure what you mean by happy feet.

[Partial]

6 OL for Cinnci? Ced Benson is making us look really bad.

[Gunakor]

Where's the defense that held Forte to 55 yards last weekend? Benson seems to be having his way with our front 7 this afternoon...

[Packers4Glory]

This game scares me a bit.

If Palmer knocks off some rust and they continue to run the ball effectively it could be another nail biter.

[Fritz]

Frickin' CBS. Frickin' Detroit. They're not showing the Packers...they're not going to do the doubleheader. Instead, I get to see a preview of CBS fall shows. What total crap.

And channelsurfing.net is overloaded and I can't get on. This blows so, so bad.

How did you not see happy feet on the pass to JFin as well as the horrible pass to Jennings on 3rd down where he was scrambling like a girl?

CB looks strong and fast.

Wow we're getting gashed by Cedric..

Wow. We're getting abused early.

Dude I'm being fair. He looked skittish in that drive. Where is the pre-season sit in the pocket and make big passes?

TD by the Bengals, plus a 15 yard pentalty on Al for the kick-off. Great...

Wood burned on the TD. No pressure on Palmer.

[Packers4Glory]

how many times a season does Harris get that penalty?

ugly start. couple drops and then we get the ball ran down our throat.

[denverYooper]

FAWK.

He ran away from the rush. What is he supposed to do, sit there and take the hit? He ran to an open area of field where there was no rush, which is what you're taught to do. Like you said in another thread, he's not built like Ben Rothlisberger to take a great deal of punishment. His greatest asset is his mobility, so if you're looking for a guy who's gonna stand there and take a hit you are going to be disappointed. Standing in the pocket like a flippin statue will get him killed.

[Jimx29]

Arod looks about as accurate as last week. Granted one was a clear drop, but still far to many over and under throws.

I went and rewatched it the third down one wasn't horrible, but it still was pretty bad. After he broke away from the pass rush, he should have planted his feet and threw a nice pass.

The second down one he is like sprinting at a million miles an hour. Just take it easy big feller.

[MOBB DEEP]

RUN THAT BALL!

[imscott72]

Nice blocking Barbre!

[Packers4Glory]

drops or misfires. passing game just isn't clickn. keep running the ball

[Partial]

The Eagles are stacked on offense.

I feel like Grant has a full head of steam and looks really fast, but he always seems to get hit instead of breaking a big one (despite always looking like he's going to). So close.

[imscott72]

A Spencer sighting!!

[Partial]

The happy million-miles an hour drops have stopped, but the accuracy still is not there. WTF?

[Partial]

21 yards to Havner! Finally! Atta boy A-Rod!

Why is Havner in in a 5 wide? You think they pulled JFin?

[Packers4Glory]

Favre like play by arod.

[imscott72]

Nice throw Arod! Tack on the penalty!

[Partial]

ARod looks a lot better right now. He seems to have calmed down. I really don't like when he is moving a mile a minute. I don't think many do.

Beautiful play by Rodgers right there. Great catch by Jones. Rodgers took a big hit and drew a personal foul.

[gbgary]

same thing urlacher did last week.

[Partial]

Nice throw Arod! Tack on the penalty!

I feel like you're ahead of me. I wonder why that is.

[gbgary]

got to get a td here!!

[Packers4Glory]

I see the penalties are going to continue to be a frustration this yr. we had to be near the bottom last yr.

[Gunakor]

Is it just me or does there seem to be an inordinate amount of illegal formation penalties being called in the NFL this year?

[imscott72]

DRIVER!!!!!! WOOT

[Packers4Glory]

how the fock did he fit that in there? wow. nice

[gbgary]

DD FOR THE TD!!

[MOBB DEEP]

DD Within redzone best in nfl

[Partial]

TD to driver. Beautiful blocking by the OL and a nice pass. Get in dem stands boy!

[gbgary]

the best part is the D got some rest and time to make some changes.

[Partial]

Well, Finley was in on the TD so I doubt he was pulled for Havner after the drops.

[Gunakor]

the best part is the D got some rest and time to make some changes.

Agreed. That was a fantastic drive.

[Packers4Glory]

now lets get the defense back on track

[denverYooper]

WHOOOOO!

[imscott72]

I'm not sure if they can sustain it, but the Lions are looking good! They're pitching a shutout after the 1st quarter and driving..

[Packers4Glory]

atta boySpence....making an impact early

[Fritz]

Cripes. No CBS, no Justin TV, no channelsurfing.net. I'm screwed.

Sigh.

Thank goodness the Pack tied it up. Now where is the D?

[Packers4Glory]

I'm not sure if they can sustain it, but the Lions are looking good! They're pitching a shutout after the 1st quarter and driving..

i was watching during commercials. doing it running mostly.

[Packers4Glory]

theres the Defense I love!

[gbgary]

way to go woody!!

[imscott72]

Woodson!!!

[Partial]

Woodson and Collins almost had that. Ball on the 5 after a firsst down pass for 7.

[Gunakor]

Well that didn't take long :D

[imscott72]

Grant TOUCHDOWN

[Packers4Glory]

Grant td..walks in

[MOBB DEEP]

Excellent play calln in that short drive

[gbgary]

way to go PACK!! GOTTA TAKE ADVANTAGE LIKE THAT!!

[Partial]

Grant for 7. Get in dem stands boy!

As far as I can tell he didn't jump. What gives with that?

[Rastak]

Greenway with a nice pick in the Vikes game......sounds like the Pack is getting it done.

[Partial]

Wish I had the Vikes/Lions on the other channel :(

AP is gonna have a billion yards today. One billion.

[Partial]

You guys like the play by play or no? I can stop, but I try to provide a visual for those who don't see the game.

[Fosco33]

Turnover and a TD... that's what we needed last week.

Gotta love CWood.

Didn't like seeing Arod take another big shot - glad the zebras called it this game.

[TheCheese]

Here ya go Fritz, http://www.justin.tv/bengalswhodey

[Packers4Glory]

Grant for 7. Get in dem stands boy!

As far as I can tell he didn't jump. What gives with that?

its become a fad around the lg. no longer a unique thing in Green bay. Driver didnt either. Last week Grant jumped if i remember right and they wouldn't let him down.

[imscott72]

Lions stuffed AP on 3rd and short..

[Partial]

Mason sends the kick 9 yards deep on the kickoff. Nice!

[Gunakor]

Wish I had the Vikes/Lions on the other channel :(

AP is gonna have a billion yards today. One billion.

He has 16 yards on 7 carries thus far. Something tells me he might fall short of a billion.

[retailguy]

How is the OL doing? Just got back from church and turned the game on

[Fosco33]

More love for Chillar

[Rastak]

Wish I had the Vikes/Lions on the other channel :(

Not doing a ton so far, but the Vikings always seem to satrt slow and wear teams out.

Just wait. He's a second half player imo.

[Fosco33]

Needed the ump or that was another 5 yards.

[Gunakor]

How is the OL doing? Just got back from church and turned the game on

Better than last week, but not great.

[Fosco33]

Hawk missed a clear opp for tackle/loss on that last play.

[Partial]

How is the OL doing? Just got back from church and turned the game on

Bengals are getting some pressure early, but the OL has settled down and we had a nice drive.

The D is giving Benson a ton of yards. He looks a lot better than he should.

[Partial]

Needed the ump or that was another 5 yards.

:D

Feel bad for the guy. He just got sandwiched there!

[Fosco33]

How is the OL doing? Just got back from church and turned the game on

Better than last week, but not great.

Decent protection - there's at least a bubble. Seems like we're keeping 2 TEs more and someone there to step up and keep the D on their toes. Some decent run blocking except the 1st series. Haven't noticed Colledge being slowed down yet.

Benson has gained more yards on the ground in the first quarter than Forte had gained all game last weekend. This is very worrisome.

Guess having real game film of the Bears game is helping the Bengals find holes in the D?

59 yards in the 1st Q... Not good.

[Partial]

Benson looks like a top 10 pick for the first time in his career :lol: He looks pretty damn quick and agile. He's hoping around like a rabbit!

[Packers4Glory]

Benson ran the ball well for the Bengals last yr after he was signed.

[Partial]

Every time they say Ochocinco I die a little inside.

[retailguy]

Benson looks like a top 10 pick for the first time in his career :lol: He looks pretty damn quick and agile. He's hoping around like a rabbit!

That doesn't say much about our defense, does it?

I have now watched 4 plays. Not great, but not bad either.

[retailguy]

nice play. What's with the hair?

[Lurker64]

Lions stuffed AP on 3rd and short..

For all his many other virtues as a runner, Peterson isn't a great 3rd and short running back. He's such a big target, that he really has to overpower multiple people in an obvious short yardage running situation. That being said, when Peterson does succeed on 3rd and 1, he generally gets a lot more than 1.

Last year, IIRC, they used Taylor more than Peterson in those situations last year.

[Partial]

Broken up by Goldielocks... I mean Matthews. Kampman in on the play too. Atta boy.

Chris Henry catchs ball about 3 yards inside, Collins drills him over the sideline. Incomplete!

[Packgator]

Here ya go Fritz, http://www.justin.tv/bengalswhodey

Thanks Cheese!

[imscott72]

Punt bitches!!

[Gunakor]

Great tackle by Woodson there. Nice to see him make a play there rather than get bowled over by the RB.

[denverYooper]

Cripes. No CBS, no Justin TV, no channelsurfing.net. I'm screwed.

Sigh.

Thank goodness the Pack tied it up. Now where is the D?

Do you not have them, or can you not find the channels on JTv?

[Partial]

Chuck with a nice open field tackle on 3rd and long. Punt!

[Fritz]

Here ya go Fritz, http://www.justin.tv/bengalswhodey

You are my hero. Thank you, thank you, thank you, TheCheese.

[Lurker64]

Chuck with a nice open field tackle on 3rd and long. Punt!

That was a very nice tackle, some veteran savvy displayed by Chuck there as he eluded multiple blockers.

[SkinBasket]

Dez Bishop! PLAYMAKER!!

Too bad it's for the other team.

[Packers4Glory]

ugh i hate penalties. come on don't hold on kicks. you're gonna get caught.

How bout a 90 yard bomb to Jennings

[retailguy]

Cripes. No CBS, no Justin TV, no channelsurfing.net. I'm screwed.

Sigh.

Thank goodness the Pack tied it up. Now where is the D?

Do you not have them, or can you not find the channels on JTv?

There is a secret to that I have yet to figure out. Games on for me, but sometimes in preseason, I couldn't find them either until someone posted them.

Except for Paul and his 19" TV... that I could always get. :P

[Partial]

My main man Bishop with a holding penalty. Fudge packer.

[Freak Out]

Howz Raji playing?

[Fritz]

Ihad both bookmarked, but channelsurf was so crowded it wouldn't load - it timed out - and Justintv didn't have it, not the version of justintv I have, anyway.

[retailguy]

Howz Raji playing?

Since he's inactive, or so I was told, probably not much. :P

[imscott72]

Howz Raji playing?

Inactive..

[Gunakor]

Howz Raji playing?

He's inactive for today's game.

Here ya go Fritz, http://www.justin.tv/bengalswhodey

You are my hero. Thank you, thank you, thank you, TheCheese.

No problem. The feed is kinda choppy so I will post another link if i find something better.

[retailguy]

not good run blocking on either of those plays.... Wow.

[Fritz]

Wow. One nice run, two crap ones.

[gbgary]

shit...come on!!

[Gunakor]

not good run blocking on either of those plays.... Wow.

To the Bengals credit on that 3rd down run, they sniffed that out perfectly. There just weren't enough blockers.

[Fritz]

Jarrett Bush - the million dollar man!

[Freak Out]

Inactive? I thought he was good to go...?

[retailguy]

Nice punt. what a run back. crap. he out kicked his coverage.

[imscott72]

Well that sucked..

Yeah, I've got Paul's 19 incher bookmarked. Reminds me of the 80s.

[Gunakor]

He probably is, but they are going to take it easy with him.

[Fritz]

Good thing we kept guys like Kuhn, Hall, and Havner for special teams! Good thing we kept Bush!

[Partial]

This team is so bloody sloppy. C'mon MM. Get that crap cleaned up.

Hawk saves a touchdown on special teams. Big return from Cinci. Ball on the 5 yard line on a 60 yard return.

[Partial]

False start. Send 'em back to the 10. 6 penalties for 43 yards for the Bengals already. Wonder what the Pack is at? Gotta be close if not more.

Benson bowled over Rouse. Benson looks like a man possessed.

[retailguy]

not good run blocking on either of those plays.... Wow.

To the Bengals credit on that 3rd down run, they sniffed that out perfectly. There just weren't enough blockers.

And that kind of sums it up perfectly. It didn't used to matter if they "sniffed" it out or not. Now it does. How does that not speak to the line? No one can run all the time, but, still... that wasn't so great.

Bengals playing a lot better than I thought. Playin hard. Very hard. Right now, they want this more than we do. Scary.

[Packers4Glory]

geez. why would the Bengals throw the ball.

[Packers4Glory]

fumbled!!! Looked like he lost it

[Fritz]

Geezuz.

That sucked. Way to go special teams.

Big focus this year. Big focus.

[denverYooper]

Talk about a short field.

[Freak Out]

Hello Dom?

[Partial]

Tied ball game folks. Palmer QB sneaks it in after a really good run by Benson. Benson was basically blown up in the backfield but had a really good second effort for a few positive yards to put the ballski on the 1.

oh yeah. started w/ a hold on a return. followed by a false start prior to punting...leading up to a big return. thats a triumphant of shit.

Brett Swain was a difference maker on the punt return. If not for him the 60 yard return would have been 61 yards.

[retailguy]

Hello Dom?

This is about execution. The front three have to get penetration for this defense to work. Right now, I haven't seen penetration. That is a mismatch, I hope he can figure out.

It speaks to the line in the sense that there weren't enough blockers to account for the number of Bengals there waiting for Grant. Either the protection wasn't called correctly, which could be Spitz' fault but probably Aaron Rodgers' fault, or it was just a poor playcall.

[imscott72]

That's not a TD..Ball came out..

[Fosco33]

Aren't line judges supposed to wait to signal TD (recent change discussed here before)?

With the overzealous TD call and the whistle - no way the Packers get the fumble call or recovery.

That he didn't cross the line?

Before the game, I was worried GB would get too sure that they were better.

That he didn't cross the line?

Correct. Can't challenge for a fumble since the call wasn't made on the field at the time.

Ruling on the field stands. TD. GB charged a TD.

[Fritz]

Hello, Shawn Slocum?

[Gunakor]

I think he could have just said it was inconclusive so they had to go with the call on the field. His explaination suggests that he saw the ball cross the line in possession of Palmer, which I didn't see from any of those angles.

After the way they played last week, you wouldn't think that would be an issue.

Poor execution last week, and they won because the Bears had worse execution.

Cincy has some pretty good DE's. This isn't a cakewalk. You have to have time to exploit their mediocre secondary. doesnt' look like it so far from what I've seen, but I did miss the 1st q.

[pbmax]

Had to temporarily rely on radio. What I have heard:

Chillar has taken snaps from Barnett is base.

What I have seen:

James Jones blew a chance to put a hat on the returner on that punt. He looked like he was trapped in tar.

Mike Montgomery needs to be replaced, hopefully Raji is healthy soon. Monty got blown out of the hole on two successive hits allowing Benson to cut back and regain the yardage from the penalty. Poppinga was on the ground after falling down then getting blocked.

Pickett missed a tackle for loss on Benson.

Not really in my opinion. Initial replay didn't show much, so tough to overturn. It was questionable that he got in though.

[imscott72]

Wow the Vikings look terrible..Lions in the red zone again..

[retailguy]

good head by Barbre. He gets points for that.

[pbmax]

John Kuhn whiffs on the pass block. And whiff doesn't do it justice.

[Brohm]

Wiff by Hall

The ball definitely came out, but no way to tell who recovered. Ugh Arod creamed..Did Barbre whiff again??

[pbmax]

Clifton allow penetration to his DE and he trips Grant on a run that could have gone for much more.

Lions just scored a td.

No, the rush came from the left side. Barbre was the one who alertly jumped on the ball to retain possession after Rodgers fumbled it on the sack.

[Partial]

Worst. Fake hand off. Ever. That said, what is he Byron Leftwich holding the ball behind his ass on a huge release? WTF Rodg.

Big 3rd down here. Let's get this play.

[Fritz]

The Packers are not exactly ripping it up, are they?

[Fritz]

Some really weird play calling. It ain't working too well, either.

Questionable challenge - but way (way) too quick of a whistle and TD indication by the line judge. I thought they were waiting to make those calls now. Ed will give him a - mark for that in his grading I'm sure.

[imscott72]

Lions TD! 10-0..Wow..

My bad. Trying to watch too many games at once..

[Fosco33]

Jeez - come on guys.

[Brohm]

147th false start of the day.

[pbmax]

Boy oh boy do I hate Ed Hoculi.

[imscott72]

These penalties are becoming a major problem again..

[Brohm]

This shit is just ugly in all facets of the game jeez ><

[Fosco33]

Maybe we punt this one outta bounds this time?

[Brandon494]

Clifton looking like shit again

[pbmax]

Missed facemask.

[Gunakor]

These penalties are becoming a major problem again..

Both teams are playing very, very sloppy football today.

[Brohm]

148th

[Fosco33]

This game is taking.... forever.

[imscott72]

wow..

[Fritz]

Jesus. F*cking. Kee-rist.

[Packgator]

What the hell!!

[SkinBasket]

This team is straight up retarded.

[Freak Out]

Get it going boys.

[Gunakor]

That was an EXCELLENT punt. 44 yard net. I'll take it.

[Packers4Glory]

ugly uglyugly

this team still has no discipline. 31st in penalties last yr and on the way to a similar spot this yr.

[Freak Out]

Nice punt and coverage.

[Fosco33]

D needs to put some pressure on Palmer and maintain gaps.

[Brohm]

This team is straight up retarded.

or breathing on the line of scrimmage is a penalty.

[retailguy]

This game is taking.... forever.

Hopefully that turns out to be a good thing, with just enough time for a winning drive.

Great play by Jenkins. WOW

[imscott72]

Jenkins!!

[falco]

CJ is pro-bowling it this year.

[Packgator]

Did I hear them say.....they yanked Bush after that?

[Fosco33]

Just like that... 8-)

[Gunakor]

Cullen's a flippen beast!

[Partial]

I am definitely behind on the game. I just got the Jenkins play now. Atta boy!

[Brohm]

CW!!

[falco]

C-wood is HOF.

[pbmax]

Lovely play by that nice Gentleman Cullen Jenkins.

Fuck Ed Hoculi BTW.

My apologies for my French.

I am also in favor of that Charles Woodson fellow.

[imscott72]

WOODSON TO DA HOUSE!!!!!

[retailguy]

that was nice. Wow. Great Woodson!

[gbgary]

woo hoo!! woody to the rescue...and the rugby touch.

[Fosco33]

CWood for ProBowl... can a DB be the MVP?

Wow. just wow.

[Freak Out]

Hell yes.

[Brandon494]

WOODSON!!!!!

[TheCheese]

Woodson ! Hell yeah !

[Partial]

Wood with the pick 6! Atta boy!

[Packers4Glory]

I just got a woody!
