OFFICIAL Packers vs. Browns Game Thread

[esoxx]

Time to turn the Browns black & blue.

My only concern in this game is the Packers look ahead to the epic Showdown in Lambeau next week and have their guard down. As bad as they are, Browns took the Bengals to OT so have to show up. Games aren't won on paper.

Handle business against the Brownies and then we'll deal with the purple invaders from the West next week.

Poll from Browns team website:

What's your prediction for Sunday's game?

Home is sweet -- Browns roll to big win 11.78%
Browns pull out a victory in the closing seconds 21.52%
Close again, but no win: Pack in a thriller 16.76%
Rodgers gets hot, Green Bay wins big 49.94%

Total number of votes: 4934

Alex, I'll take Rodgers gets hot, Green Bay wins big for $200 please.

Let's roll.

Man fuck that Pack win BIG and blow these mofo's out! Rodgers throws 5 TD's and our receivers drop zero passes. Only 1 sack is given up and we improve all around.

[Rastak]

Well unless Cribbs busts a couple and Green Bay has critical big play turnovers I can't see the Browns winning this one.


In other NFL games, I like Pittsburg against Minnesota although I'm certainly not writing off the game. This is a bigger game for the Steelers and being an out of conference game this isn;t as important to Minnesota as the critical clash next week.


I like Bengals versus Chicago since the Bengals are at home. That game could go either way.

[MJZiggy]

If I had known even you weren't so sure, I'd have put more points on Pitt.

[Rastak]

If I had known even you weren't so sure, I'd have put more points on Pitt.

Kind of a sloppy field, road game against a good team that needs a win. A week before a critical divisional game...it all adds up toa tough game to win I think. Plus the Vikings came out of the Ravens win pretty beat up.

[pbmax]

The Packers didn't look ahead versus the Rams before the first game. Don't think its likely they will today.

[Pugger]

MN is built for playing on a fast track so I'm thinking the Steelers will win. Plus they are in PA. It isn't easy to win on the road against good teams. We found that out a few weeks ago in Minneapolis. As long as we don't turn the ball over and screw up too much we'll win. Frankly, I don't care what the score is as long as we get a 'W' and get out of Ohio in one piece (and nobody gets sick!).

[Fritz]

The Packers do not seem to be playing like a team that can afford to look ahead. They need to start getting better. I am looking forward to a game in which this team begins to find its identity. They need to identify some plays that are go-to plays, the offensive line needs to stop taking stupid pills, and the defense needs to be sharp. And special teams - we don't have Mike Stock to kick around any more, so how's about a good performance there?

[GrnBay007]

Game isn't televised here today. :(

[Bossman641]

I like Bengals versus Chicago since the Bengals are at home. That game could go either way.

I hope you're right but unfortunately I think the Bears win. Odom out is a huge loss for Cincy. He would have given Pace major trouble.

[Rastak]

Weather today?

Cleveland High 57 with 20% of chance rain

Pittsburg High 58 with 20% chance of rain

Cincy High 63 with 20% chance of rain

Rastak, just for my own sanity and well being, I need the Vikes to lose. I work with way too many fair weather Vikes fans. But even worse yet is the Hawkeye fan.

I also don't know why I pointed this at you lol.

And Pitt gets Troy back... I forgot about that. I think the line is a little high and hope Minny loses one of these close games (miracle TD, wide left = 2 losses). It'd make next week more interesting.

[Fosco33]

My wishlist:

Rodgers gets sacked less than 3 times
Packers have less than 10 penalties
Packers continue to win turnover battle (+2)
Browns score 14 or less; Pack scores 24 or more

[BallHawk]

If the Vikes lost today and we won next week, would we technically be in 1st place? We'd have an equal record against each other, but we've gone 2-0 against the other teams in the division and they've gone 1-0. I know it's almost completely unmeaningful at this point, but it'd be nice to say we're in first. :D

No, b/c we'd be 4-2 and they'll be 5-2.

[esoxx]

Clifton & Spitz out. Big game for T.J. Lang today. Rodgers needs to help him out by getting the ball out on time.

[Rastak]

Close Esoxx, 5-2 and 6-2.

[Rastak]

Browns:


The Browns' official Web site reports that Derek Anderson (ankle, probable), Josh Cribbs (knee, questionable) and Chansi Stuckey (illness, probable) are all active. Anderson's attempt number is remarkably down, limiting his and Stuckey's fantasy appeal, while Cribbs will occupy his traditional return-man role, not to mention get the occasional Wildcat play. Don't expect much in terms of fantasy numbers from Cribbs, unless your league rewards return yards.

[esoxx]

I have trouble counting to six. :oops:

[GrnBay007]

But even worse yet is the Hawkeye fan.

I also don't know why I pointed this at you lol.

Hey now!!

Go Hawks! :P

Weird game yesterday....but a win!! :D

[Rastak]

11:49 a.m. ET -- Jordy Nelson inactive -- The Packers' official Web site reports that Jordy Nelson (knee, out) is inactive, as expected. James Jones will step into Nelson's No. 3 wide receiver role, but he's only worth a look in deep leagues.

11:48 a.m. ET -- Rodgers, Jennings active -- The Packers' official Web site reports that both Aaron Rodgers (foot, probable) and Greg Jennings (hip, probable) are active. It's a favorable matchup for them both, so keep them in your lineup.

[GrnBay007]

I have trouble counting to six. :oops:

....another reason you can't get the wife's grocery list right! :P :wink:

[Badgerinmaine]

Best line for the game from Cleveland comes from the Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot, who predicts a 27-13 Packers win: "Anyone who wasn’t sick before the game will be sick after it".
:lol:

[Rastak]

The full list:

Packers declared RB Ahman Green, FB Korey Hall, S Matt Giordano, G/C Evan Dietrich-Smith, OT Mark Tauscher, OT Chad Clifton, WR Jordy Nelson, and DE Jarius Wynn inactive for Week 7.

[wist43]

Braced for another ugly win :D

Jeez, half the Browns team has been laid low by the flu... that's nothing to mess around with in terms what it does to your strength. Even if they've recovered in the short term, it wouldn't surprise me if the Browns players falter with fatigue.

[pasquale]

But even worse yet is the Hawkeye fan.

I also don't know why I pointed this at you lol.

He's just too obnoxious...sorry lol.

Looking at most of that list, I think they're not just inactive, they're flat out incapacitated. :-)

[red]

there is no reason why this game shouldn't be a complete blowout

[Badgerinmaine]

I can think of one: This team is not good enough to win if they are looking ahead to the Vikings game.

[Rastak]

Week 7 kickoff time!

[gbgary]

how can the pylon be a touchdown but on a kick it's oob?

[Gunakor]

That's a helluva shot if Mase is playing golf...

[Rastak]

how can the pylon be a touchdown but on a kick it's oob?


Good point, you'd think it would be a touchback.

[packer4life]

anyone got a live feed for the game?

[Gunakor]

J-Fin took a bad shot to his left knee, limped off the field under his own power but it didn't look good on replay.

[gbgary]

hopefully finley's knee isn't too bad. they're comparing the movement in the right knee to that in his left...not a good sign.

[Gunakor]

The run blocking has been outstanding today for the Pack. I mean seas parting for Moses type shit. Grant is running it down their throat with ease, he's got 30 yards on this opening drive alone.

[Packers4Glory]

give the ball to your RB on that..it wasn't like it was 4th an inches :roll:

[packer4life]

http://p2p4u.net/watch-live-sports.php?id=7220&link=1

enjoy the game all u packer fans in different lands

[gbgary]

dumb call there. running great so far and a sneak? no...grant or a play-action pass.

[Gunakor]

The line got no push whatsoever on that 4th down play. Grant has looked explosive running the inside zone today, I agree we should have given it to him.

[Gunakor]

Damnit Mike, why waste a challenge here. Even if you get this call overturned, which you won't because you can't see the ball on replay, it's still a wasted challenge.

[Packers4Glory]

he really has some retarded challenges. no way to reverse that call.

[Fred's Slacks]

Another dumb challenge.

Looks like he got it but not conclusive so no chance.

[gbgary]

dumb penalty by al

[Packers4Glory]

hey another dumb face mask for the packers!!!

[Rastak]

Vikings update, sort of....0-0, shank punt gives Steelers good field position.

[gbgary]

we're playing too soft on D

[Fred's Slacks]

Miss on 4th down looking big now.

[Fred's Slacks]

Have we had a turnover that opposing teams haven't scored off of yet?

It seems that every time we turn it over, even way down at the other end of the field, the opposing team proceeds to march it right down the field. It's like we play defense differently based on how the other team got the ball.

[Fred's Slacks]

How did we not recover that?

[Fred's Slacks]

How did he not catch that?

[Gunakor]

SOB, 2 plays in a row we had a turnover in our hands and couldn't finish.

[Gunakor]

That's the most boring quarter of football I think I've ever watched.

[Fred's Slacks]

That's the most boring quarter of football I think I've ever watched.

You're right. The field goal off the up right was the most interesting thing.

[gbgary]

there goes my 15-0 score prediction. :roll:



:)

[Gunakor]

That's the most boring quarter of football I think I've ever watched.

You're right. The field goal off the up right was the most interesting thing.

LOL how do you bang a 20 yard FG off the upright? I know high school soccer players that would never do that.

[gbgary]

3-0 pitt

[Bretsky]

In the house; I expected this to be such a boring game and.....a blowout that I've been sporadically watching while cleaning the house. A big yuck so far

[pbmax]

How has pass pro looked so far?

[Bretsky]

Wonder if Donald Driver will get to 10,000 yards receiving. Two more decent years and he's there

[Rastak]

3-0 pitt


Shank punt, Steelers probably could have scored but a call for a pick by the TE called back a TD.......Vikes with another sack to force the FG.

[pbmax]

Frankenbacker for the TD!

Loved the play!

[Badgerinmaine]

YES!

[gbgary]

nice rac for the td.

[Bretsky]

Wonder if TT will end up pissing Driver off and pushing him out the door for a young guy :lol:

Havner...........guy is thrilled to death as most probably thought he'd never make the team

[gbgary]

how many tds do we have from our fbs this year so far?

[Gunakor]

Wonder if TT will end up pissing Driver off and pushing him out the door for a young guy :lol:

Havner...........guy is thrilled to death as most probably thought he'd never make the team

That was an awesome call. Havner had miles of daylight ahead of him.

[Brandon494]

Wonder if TT will end up pissing Driver off and pushing him out the door for a young guy :lol:

Well I dont see Driver holding the team hostage each year with retirement talk so I doubt that will happen.

[pbmax]

Wonder if TT will end up pissing Driver off and pushing him out the door for a young guy :lol:

Havner...........guy is thrilled to death as most probably thought he'd never make the team
You are the original Pot Stir-er!

[pbmax]

For good luck.

http://imgsrv.qcountry1037.com/image/wqny/UserFiles/Image/faith_hill_high_boots.jpg

[Bretsky]

man, that offense is terrible

Perhaps TT should trade them Flynn for a first rounder

[gbgary]

how many tds do we have from our fbs this year so far?

my bad...he was a te.

[Badgerinmaine]

how many tds do we have from our fbs this year so far?
Kuhn has three.

[pbmax]

Beautiful.

[Bretsky]

12 men on the field ????????????????????????????????????/

WOW

F'ckin undisciplined

when does this come back to the coaching ?

[pbmax]

Was that Rodgers on the sideline in a baseball cap and his shirt untucked?

[Rastak]

North update:

Steelers 3 and out.

Steelers 3 Vikings 0

Vikes with the ball on their 24.

[Badgerinmaine]

My gosh, this year's Packers team commits one heck of a lot of stupid penalties.

[Packers4Glory]

12 men on the field ????????????????????????????????????/

WOW

F'ckin undisciplined

when does this come back to the coaching ?

apparently never.

[Bretsky]

AJ HAWK

NICE PLAY

Just had to say it once; feels good and I hope he has many more

[pbmax]

Look at the play by Hawk. Wonder how that will play this week?

[Packers4Glory]

My gosh, this year's Packers team commits one heck of a lot of stupid penalties.

as compared w/ last yr? lol it was just as bad.

[PackerTimer]

Stupid penalty

[Bretsky]

AL is a blanket

[Gunakor]

AL is a blanket

Agreed, every play he's right there in 11's hip pocket.

[Badgerinmaine]

Pats are already up 21-0. Tampa Bay is just hopeless this year.

[pbmax]

Jolly with a nice hit and let the LBs cleanup.

[Badgerinmaine]

My gosh, this year's Packers team commits one heck of a lot of stupid penalties.

as compared w/ last yr? lol it was just as bad.
Close, maybe, but I swear this year is uglier.

[pbmax]

I say from now on if a punt returner makes more than three cuts or moves, we just shoot him in the leg with a tranquilizer.

[Bretsky]

Pats are already up 21-0. Tampa Bay is just hopeless this year.


Who was that guy who predicted Tampa Bay to be the worst team in the NFL in the preseason :lol:

[PackerTimer]

Two nice stops for the defense on that drive.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

[quote=Badgerinmaine]Pats are already up 21-0. Tampa Bay is just hopeless this year.


Who was that guy who predicted Tampa Bay to be the worst team in the NFL in the preseason :lol:[/quote

Ty

[pbmax]

Two nice stops for the defense on that drive.
But one of them was of their own making.

[pbmax]

Grant may be legally blind.

[Fred's Slacks]

My pc crashed but I had to bring it back up just to comment on that play by Hawk. That's the kind of ability that made him a high pick. I think he's pissed off. Good.

[pbmax]

Two nice run blocks by Lang

[Badgerinmaine]

Picking up first downs on 2nd and 14 is very, very sweet.

[Gunakor]

Two nice run blocks by Lang

The run blocking has been outstanding all day today.

[Gunakor]

WOW!!!!

[pbmax]

Good God he is fun to watch. I can even forgive the drops. Nice of Cleveland to leave him uncovered!

[Badgerinmaine]

Bang!

[gbgary]

where did that route come from? not a slant...wow!

[PackerTimer]

NICE!!!! DRIVERBABY!!!!!!!!

[pbmax]

where did that route come from? not a slant...wow!
They essentially let him uncovered.

[Fred's Slacks]

I believe it was snake that summed it up so eloquently:

Donald Driver teabags father time.

[gbgary]

Good God he is fun to watch. I can even forgive the drops. Nice of Cleveland to leave him uncovered!

there was a guy on him at the line and and one five yards back and they both blitzed.

[pbmax]

I love Mason Crosby on kickoffs.

[Badgerinmaine]

I love Mason Crosby on kickoffs.
Pretty damned good the rest of the time, too.

[pbmax]

Good God he is fun to watch. I can even forgive the drops. Nice of Cleveland to leave him uncovered!

there was a guy on him at the line and and one five yards back and they both blitzed.
Thye must have vacated early because I only saw the deeper guy move toward him. Good for the pass blocking though.
Good call gary, you were exactly right. Packer TE essentially ran a pick on the safety who had Driver.

[MTPackerfan]

way to go DD!!

[Rastak]

Vikings 76 yard drive ends in a TD by Peterson.....

Vikings 7 Steelers 3 (assuming PAT)

[imscott72]

Finley out for the day and on crutches..Dang..

[gbgary]

Finley out for the day and on crutches..Dang..

non-weight bareing...that's a bad sign.

[Fred's Slacks]

Finley out for the day and on crutches..Dang..

That really f-in sucks. That kid was really coming on.

[Gunakor]

Finley out for the day and on crutches..Dang..

That was a really nasty shot he took right to his knee in that opening drive. I hope he's a quick healer.

[pbmax]

By the way, the days of AFC dominance are about over.

[Fred's Slacks]

Another weak ass penalty.

[Fred's Slacks]

Anderson is really bad.

[pbmax]

Matthews with a heck of a tackle.

[Badgerinmaine]

Woodson!

[imscott72]

PICK!!

[PackerTimer]

Chuck!!!!!!!!!!!

[gbgary]

ya know...matthews is going to end up being all we thought hawk was going to be.


wow...an int for woodson. we'll be seeing quinn soon.

[MadScientist]

Nice pass to Woodson. He knows the route better than the receiver. :lol:

[Badgerinmaine]

Browns fans are getting pretty grumpy...

[Tony Oday]

put the foot on the throttle and lets put this away!

[Fred's Slacks]

That ball seemed to catch woodson instead of the other way around.

[Gunakor]

ya know...matthews is end up being all we thought hawk was going to be.


wow...an int for woodson. we'll be seeing quinn soon.

Hawk is having himself a pretty good game today too.

[MadScientist]

WTF, good run in the red zone. I don't know this team.

[Fred's Slacks]

ya know...matthews is end up being all we thought hawk was going to be.


wow...an int for woodson. we'll be seeing quinn soon.

Hawk is having himself a pretty good game today too.

I think we gotta keep him pissed off. He plays better pissed off.

[Gunakor]

Grant is a monster this afternoon running that inside zone. 45 yards on 9 carries so far.

[gbgary]

ya know...matthews is end up being all we thought hawk was going to be.


wow...an int for woodson. we'll be seeing quinn soon.

Hawk is having himself a pretty good game today too.

yes but i meant as play-maker. know what i mean? something special every game.

[Badgerinmaine]

Smash it in.

[gbgary]

another td for dd.

[Gunakor]

another td for dd.

They said it was incomplete, but the PI gives us 1st and goal @ the 1.

[gbgary]

another td for dd.

oops. it was incomplete but w/interference.

[Gunakor]

Keep it on the ground Mike.

[Packers4Glory]

KEEP FEEDING GRANT THE BELL AT THE 1 !!!!!!!

[MadScientist]

Ok, two runs for nothing at the 1. This team I know.

[Fred's Slacks]

God damit. Quit with the cutesy shit, put Quinn Johnson in and slam that b in.

[gbgary]

is this going to be one of MM's "trying to make a point" moments. :roll:

[PackerTimer]

Keep it on the ground Mike.

I hope so.

[gbgary]

call a play-action roll-out pass. geesh.

[imscott72]

Grant TD!

[Gunakor]

Thank god, I was worried he was gonna go empty there on 3rd down.

[pbmax]

I think Colledge single-blocked Shaun Rodgers on that one. Just about a standstill. But kept it under control.

[Gunakor]

I think Colledge single-blocked Shaun Rodgers on that one. Just about a standstill. But kept it under control.

It wouldn't surprise me. I've seen Colledge hold his own against the Williams brothers before too. He's become a very reliable guard.

[pbmax]

Crosby with the almost tackle!

No, he made the tackle. Had his ankle good and wrapped up.

[PackerTimer]

Cribbs is a dangerous return man.

[gbgary]

nice tackle by crosby. got masked but grabbed a leg.

[Brandon494]

seriously we need to put Quinn Johnson in at FB on short yardage situations.

[PackerTimer]

Nice play by Barnett.

[Fred's Slacks]

Before any one starts saying not to get exited because this is just the browns, remember one thing. This team was beating the Vikings at half week 1. I'm not saying they're better, I'm just sayin.

[gbgary]

pittsburg td

[pbmax]

I think Colledge single-blocked Shaun Rodgers on that one. Just about a standstill. But kept it under control.

It wouldn't surprise me. I've seen Colledge hold his own against the Williams brothers before too. He's become a very reliable guard.
I thought I saw 98 on the jersey. That would be Robaire Smith.

[Packers4Glory]

brady quinn can't be as bad as anderson.

[Badgerinmaine]

Think Brady Quinn plays QB in the second half for the Browns?

[pbmax]

Four guys got there at the same time.

[Brandon494]

Money is the only reason Anderson is playing over Quinn.

[Gunakor]

Excellent quarter for Green Bay.

[Fred's Slacks]

Good half. Our weaknesses match up well against Cle. We can't protect the QB and they can't rush the passer. But overall, Arod is making some good reads, we're running well, we're getting after Anderson and special teams has been really good (except for the 12 men). Penalties continue to be a concern.

[Rastak]

Steelers drive down the field like a hot knife through butter to take the lead at half 10-7.


Great game so far.

[gbgary]

all the noon games are blow-outs except minn/pitt

[Brandon494]

all the noon games are blow-outs except minn/pitt

Yea and I'm on the right side of all of them as far as fantasy is concerned. :D

[Zool]

Fox just said Pat Williams is 317 pounds. That might be low.

[Rastak]

Fox just said Pat Williams is 317 pounds. That might be low.


A tad........LOL.

[Rastak]

Steelers with a FG.....13-7 Steelers.

[gbgary]

yikes

[pbmax]

I hate this camera angle. Lewis ran to the right and both ILBs are there on the edge and he still gains four. But no replay to show us how. No idea on the spacing.

[pbmax]

Nice hit for the fumble.

[gbgary]

chuck with the strip

[pbmax]

I think its going to stand if challenged.

[gbgary]

there's no doubt there. it's caught, he's low, he turns and stands up and then he's hit. fumble.

[Rastak]

Vikings can't punch it in.......Steelers 13 Vikings 10.

[pbmax]

They are overturning judging by the instructions he was just giving

[pbmax]

Vikings can't punch it in.......Steelers 13 Vikings 10.
How is gunslinger doing?

[Brandon494]

They talk about getting Cribbs in on offense and when they finally do he fumbles. :lol:

[pbmax]

Again, I think Grant might benefit from Barnett's glasses. He had a cutback off Colledge inside of Lang

[Zool]

Vikings can't punch it in.......Steelers 13 Vikings 10.
How is gunslinger doing?

He's getting hit a lot. He's a little bit off compared with the MNF game. The Steelers are playing the run really well so it looks like Chilly is going to be passing more than running today.

[Rastak]

Vikings can't punch it in.......Steelers 13 Vikings 10.
How is gunslinger doing?


Not too bad I guess, big defensive battle....17 of 29 154.

[Fosco33]

Been busy watching the game and the young ones...

I like the hitting today - some smacks by Barnett, Hawk, others.

I like the play calling and focus on the run. Grant is running hard and making the one-cut. Maybe getting AG back woke him up?

Too bad about Finley - anyone heard the injury/severity?

Packers are still killing themselves with penalties - giving the Browns an extra possession with 12 men on the field is not forgiveable.

The Browns are bad - really bad. The Packers are looking tighter today and will be giving teams some things to think about in weeks ahead.

[gbgary]

jennings seems to have been forgotten about.

[Fosco33]

Would've been nice to punch that in - throws into the endzone may have helped... Oh well, 10 pts off turnovers.

Defense is playing well - despite shooting themselves in the foot with holding calls/etc.

[Fosco33]

They talk about getting Cribbs in on offense and when they finally do he fumbles. :lol:

Classic. I hope he doesn't play pissed now...

[PackerTimer]

jennings seems to have been forgotten about.

Not really. He's been targeted quite a bit and is tied with Lee for most catches. Rodgers has only thrown the ball 17 times so far. Nobody is jumping out with a ton of catches today.

[pbmax]

Bigby should be benched for that hit that drew the flag.

[pbmax]

Matthews blew contain on that one.

[gbgary]

jennings seems to have been forgotten about.

Not really. He's been targeted quite a bit and is tied with Lee for most catches. Rodgers has only thrown the ball 17 times so far. Nobody is jumping out with a ton of catches today.

i guess so...very quiet.

[pbmax]

Matthews blew contain on that one.
John Lynch thinks Barnett and Matthews played it correctly and Hawk was supposed to scrape and keep contain.

[MichiganPackerFan]

god this is a boring half!

Yeah not a lot of passes being thrown. A few really big ones though.

[pbmax]

Hawk blew it up.

[PackerTimer]

Hawk blew it up.

For the most part playing a pretty good game today.

[MichiganPackerFan]

Bigby can kiss all my ass for hitting after the whistle

[Brandon494]

Bigby can kiss all my ass for hitting after the whistle

yea right, its the NFL! man the buck up, that was all acting on the Browns player.

[Gunakor]

Bigby can kiss all my ass for hitting after the whistle

yea right, its the NFL! man the buck up, that was all acting on the Browns player.

Yeah, that was barely a bump. I've seen worse hits after the whistle that weren't called.

[MichiganPackerFan]

Yeah it was a great acting job. Bigby shouldn't be so undisciplined to provide the opportunity. Unnecessary.

[Brandon494]

OMG AJ HAWK MADE A TACKLE FOR A LOSS!!!! :shock:

[Gunakor]

OMG AJ HAWK MADE A TACKLE FOR A LOSS!!!! :shock:

AJ has had a terrific game today.

[MichiganPackerFan]

OMG AJ HAWK MADE A TACKLE FOR A LOSS!!!! :shock:

AJ has had a terrific game today.

Agreed.

[pbmax]

No pressure on the QB but they still couldn't get close to a completion.

[Badgerinmaine]

Stoned 'em!
Well, one of the Browns' reporters today predicted the Browns would lose and score 5 points. Here's their chance to get those two points.

[gbgary]

al's at his best with tight coverage. why we keep playing him in soft coverage i'll never know.

[Zool]

Vikings are doing their best Packers impression today. Just hit their 9th penalty.

[Badgerinmaine]

Nice homecoming back in Ohio for Hawk today.

[pbmax]

Run pass option to Jennings for a nice gain.

[pbmax]

Vikings are doing their best Packers impression today. Just hit their 9th penalty.
That's because Pittsburgh pays the refs. Just ask the Seahawks or Browns.

[gbgary]

nice throw to havner.

[pbmax]

Grant should get a handicapped parking hanger for his vision impairment.

[Rastak]

Vikings are doing their best Packers impression today. Just hit their 9th penalty.



One of the greatest catches I've seen....Sidney Rice.

[Badgerinmaine]

Grant has his 100 yard rushing game and then some now.

[pbmax]

Grant almost to the house. Nice run. Block by Q Johnson.

[Badgerinmaine]

BANG!

[gbgary]

grant said "no aaron...you're not getting the longest run of the day!"



td jones!!

[Zool]

Vikings are doing their best Packers impression today. Just hit their 9th penalty.



One of the greatest catches I've seen....Sidney Rice.

Yeah that was ridiculous to even hold on to that one. Not sure how he got those feet down but he clearly did.

I missed if there is any word on Berrian. He grabbed a hammy earlier and came out.

[pbmax]

Nice back of the shoulder throw and catch for the TD. 99 yard drive.

[Badgerinmaine]

"Larry, would you say 'there is your dagger'?"
"Wayne, I'd say the dagger was out about midway through the third quarter".
--Wayne Larrivee and Larry McCarren after the Packers went up 31-3 today.

[gbgary]

minn threatening...

[Rastak]

Vikings Steelers update...


Vikings 10 Steelers 13

Vikes first and goal on the Steelers 10.

[Fosco33]

Damn... shoot yourself with multiple penalties on defense only to have a goal line stand. Then drive 99 yards in 8 plays, get Grant over 100 (and longest run of the year). LOVE IT

[Fosco33]

Are we going to give up almost as many penalty yards as offensive yards - again?

[Rastak]

Vikings got fucked on a call.

[gbgary]

not a good day for mason. 2 oob kickoffs, one fg missed, had to make a tackle with a fist in his face. LOL

[gbgary]

Vikings got fucked on a call.

good! oh... :wink:

[Bretsky]

Vikings almost went up 17-13 on Pitt, but refs just made a terrible tripping call against MN so still 13-10.

[Badgerinmaine]

Vikings got fucked on a call.
Sounds like some sort of booty call. :P

[Fosco33]

not a good day for mason. 2 oob kickoffs, one fg missed, had to make a tackle with a fist in his face. LOL

totally. He did have one kickoff deep into the endzone (straight) - why not just keep doing that? :P

And a 55yarder missed isn't exactly surprising. And if I recall, we got the ball back on a fumble almost right away.

[Zool]

Favre stripped....TD Steelers D.

[Brandon494]

TD STEELERS!!!!! FUMBLE BY THE OLD MAN!!!! :wink:

[PackerTimer]

Favre fumble in the red zone returned for a TD for the Steelers.

[Bretsky]

WOW

Favre fumble returned for a TD

Makes that called they got f'cked on 10X as bad

[Fosco33]

Wow - looks like the '72 Dolphins have more more down...

[Badgerinmaine]

WOW

Favre fumble returned for a TD

Makes that called they got f'cked on 10X as bad
Sweeeeet.

[Fosco33]

WOW

Favre fumble returned for a TD

Makes that called they got f'cked on 10X as bad

What was the previous call?

[gbgary]

good day for ar so far...15/20 for 246 and 3 tds.

[Fred's Slacks]

I love all the guys we have in the backfield everytime CLE tries to run.

[Badgerinmaine]

WOW

Favre fumble returned for a TD

Makes that called they got f'cked on 10X as bad

What was the previous call?
Tripping against the Vikes

[Fosco33]

I would've like a MN FG there... need them to lose by less than 5.

[Bretsky]

too bad; never a fan of the refs having that great of a say in the end result

Minnesota will no doubt get a "we fucked up" letter from the NFL on that tripping call.

Went from 17-13 Vikings to 20-10 Steelers within one minute

[Rastak]

Fumble by Vikes, game over....

[Badgerinmaine]

Anderson's stats so far: 12 for 28, 99 yards, no TDs, one pick. Yeeps.

[The Shadow]

TD STEELERS!!!!! FUMBLE BY THE OLD MAN!!!! :wink:

Deja Vu all over again.....

[PackerTimer]

Flynn in the game.

[Rastak]

too bad; never a fan of the refs having that great of a say in the end result

Minnesota will no doubt get a "we fucked up" letter from the NFL on that tripping call.

Went from 17-13 Vikings to 20-10 Steelers within one minute


True dat, but that's why I try as best I can to not bitch about calls because all year you get 'em and you lose 'em.

[Fred's Slacks]

Time for the Matt Flynn show.

[Bretsky]

WOW

Favre fumble returned for a TD

Makes that called they got f'cked on 10X as bad

What was the previous call?


The TE went down to cut block a DE and kind of rolled and they called Tripping

Terrible terrible call whether you hate the Vikings or not

Announcers ripped into it as well

[jmbarnes101]

WOW

Favre fumble returned for a TD

Makes that called they got f'cked on 10X as bad

Yeah, because other teams haven't been screwed by phantom penalties while playing the Vikings this year. About time they get what was coming to them. I'm just upset he's able to get back up after the sack. Yes, I despise him and that entire team. Living in Minnesota for the past 11 years will do that to a person.
