[TennesseePackerBacker]

Great audible, bad throw.

[b bulldog]

catch the ball

[denverYooper]

Wow. Jordy's having a tough day.

[red]

white man can't jump

[packers11]

high throw but you gotta catch that shit. come on

[gbgary]

all the short stuff...i see another deep ball coming soon.

[b bulldog]

great throw, nice hot read baby

[gbgary]

love that play.

[denverYooper]

That was a nice quick 33.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Where the hell is our roughing the QB?

Great play!

[b bulldog]

Lee is having a big day today

[denverYooper]

Man, he tucked that one right in the crook of Lee's arm in pretty good coverage!

[b bulldog]

great drive so far

[ThunderDan]

Where the hell is our roughing the QB?

Great play!

Touching Stafford's helmet is 15 yards, hitting ARod late is a no call!

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Damn I hope Finley is ok. He better be fined for that shit!

[b bulldog]

Arod is throwing high today, run the ball some coach, come on

[gbgary]

ugly! big fine for that fucker.

[denverYooper]

Finley got his bell rung.

[packer4life]

at least it wasn't his KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[b bulldog]

Great hit, good penalty also

[Freak Out]

How is the guy not ejected for that?

[ThunderDan]

Launched himself right into Finley's face.

[Freak Out]

Great hit, good penalty also

Great hit?

[b bulldog]

their blitzing LB's really will open things up for us

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Great hit, good penalty also

Great hit?

b bulldog is old school. That used to be a great hit. Not anymore.

[gbgary]

Great hit, good penalty also

in the past. that's a cheap shot anytime but especially now.

[denverYooper]

Finley back in! Whoo!

[Brohm]

Horse collar

[gbgary]

horse collar

[b bulldog]

I am old school when football was supposed to be physical, just like this horse collar crap

[packer4life]

jermichael has got stones!

[Fosco33]

Dirty hit by rook. Time for a crack back block (akin to hit by pitch).
Glad 88 is ok - hope it's not a concussion.

[ThunderDan]

JOe Buck's an idiot!!!

[b bulldog]

Bad throw, hit him in stride a bit

[Fosco33]

Arod is throwing high today, run the ball some coach, come on

Did that a little bit last week.

[b bulldog]

Arod is off today on quite a few throws

[b bulldog]

great drive when you consider where it began

[packer4life]

Arod is off today on quite a few throws

at least he wasn't off on that 68 yarder...that's a tough one

[gbgary]

come on....touchdown please.

[packer4life]

bjax shovel?

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Why abandon the running game when it's 1st and goal at the 8? McCarthy has flashes of brilliance followed by shitting all over the bed.

[b bulldog]

good play on both sides there

[Fosco33]

Go for it.

[Brohm]

How about taking a shot INTO THE FUCKING ENDZONE!

[b bulldog]

no way, 3 points

[b bulldog]

crosby :oops:

[packer4life]

its ok boys, gas the D, they'll be hurting in the second half and then we'll pounce

[Brohm]

Geez Crosby almost missed that. That dude is having some problems.

[Fosco33]

Not sure about the call - 1 blocker for 3 defenders and a bubble WR?

At least on the Lee screen/TD- there were multiple blockers.

Throw it to the endzone if you're gonna kick a fg.

[b bulldog]

good drive, now let the D stop them and give the O good field position and we can go up 17-7

[TennesseePackerBacker]

great drive when you consider where it began

Agreed, it definitely bears mentioning.

[gbgary]

nice drive. we're eating up the clock. now if we just don't play soft and give it back. i'll say it again...treat these guys like the dallas cowboys and blitz the shit out of them.

[b bulldog]

must be close to Xmas, the bud commercials are playing

[denverYooper]

nice drive. we're eating up the clock. now if we just don't play soft and give it back. i'll say it again...treat these guys like the dallas cowboys and blitz the shit out of them.

Yea. They've had some success bringing pressure (INT, forced overthrow).

[Brohm]

Another ST penalty woot!

[b bulldog]

what a f'ing joke this team is

[gbgary]

loved the "go lions" with the monty python music playing in the background. :lol:

[Brohm]

Fucking morons.

[red]

every fucking special teams play

unreal

[packer4life]

Another ST penalty woot!

that'll be a 10k fine popp

[Fosco33]

how many times do we have to say our st is retarded...

I think the refs are seeing physical play and throwing generous PFs (or making up for a crappy horsecollar).

[denverYooper]

3 penalties on special teams already!?

+5

Thank goodness the O is moving the ball today.

[ThunderDan]

Fuck this shit!!! Can we have one special teams play without a penalty!!! And when we kick off!!!!!

FIRE SLOCUM NOW!!!!! :evil:

[b bulldog]

cj makes 21 look awfully small

[b bulldog]

bj!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brohm]

RAJI SIGHTING!

[packer4life]

ok new idea:

fine every ST blunder $1000. Put it in a collective pool and let it build up. When someone on STs actually does something significant, give the man the pot!

[denverYooper]

FUCKING UNREAL PLAY RAJI! :shock:

[red]

B J RAJI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[b bulldog]

Terrible throw

[packer4life]

PICKLES!

[gbgary]

very nice!!

[Brohm]

!! Tramon! How about a td this time :shock:

[red]

nice pick t-will

[CaliforniaCheez]

Why is it that only Field Goal attempts and Extra points are the only times the specials teams do not commit a penalty?

[denverYooper]

Terrible throw

Yup. Growing pains for Stafford.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

3 penalties on special teams already!?

+5

Thank goodness the O is moving the ball today.

Back to +4 thanks to Tramon!

[b bulldog]

great play by the d, screen was covered so qb got nerous and made a bad throw

[packer4life]

Why is it that only Field Goal attempts and Extra points are the only times the specials teams do not commit a penalty?

DONT JINX IT FOO

[denverYooper]

3 penalties on special teams already!?

+5

Thank goodness the O is moving the ball today.

Back to +4 thanks to Tramon!

Yup.

[gbgary]

Why is it that only Field Goal attempts and Extra points are the only times the specials teams do not commit a penalty?


now you've done it. :evil:








:wink:

[packer4life]

3 penalties on special teams already!?

+5

Thank goodness the O is moving the ball today.

Back to +4 thanks to Tramon!

attention statisticians...if this system works please gimme a recap of the season in terms of final number and whether it was a win or loss...that'll keep someone busy today

[Brohm]

Wow way to stand tall Arod :D

[Fosco33]

Interesting note - Packers have 3 interceptions in each of last 2 games vs. Lions.

Here's to 3 more!

And at least one more today!

[b bulldog]

Love our screen game, where was that is J Allen?

[denverYooper]

ARod making some nice throws from the pocket today.

Hey! There's a pocket today!

[gbgary]

move those chains!

[b bulldog]

12 is such a stud

[gbgary]

nice run there...split those guys.

[b bulldog]

MM, run then damn ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please!!

[b bulldog]

ditto, ditto, ditto

[packer4life]

with all the negativity i put out on this forum when things look bad, i gotta say #12 is an absolute godsend. so many teams have been searching for a competent qb years after they lose one. weve had solid quarterbacking since the early 90s...GIVE THANKS

[Brohm]

Damn Grant is bringing it today :shock:

[Fosco33]

Grant will end up w/ 120+ and a TD

[CaliforniaCheez]

Havner is in!!

[gbgary]

MM, run then damn ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please!!


mm got run happy and it stopped working. ran a bunch of pass plays and that has set up the run again.

[packer4life]

now that we are close to scoring, MM will switch to run only and kick a FG :(

[b bulldog]

chew clock, go in at half up by :cow: 10

[ThunderDan]

Lost live feed on FOX, second game this year in Madison!

[Brohm]

Hay Charter can I have the game back plz

[gbgary]

now that we are close to scoring, MM will switch to run only and kick a FG :(

that's the kind of shit that kills me. that's why i want his head in a basket.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Correct me if I'm wrong. He started it Dallas week. So it's been running for 2 weeks and is 2-0 so far.

[b bulldog]

if calling a good game, they will set up each other

[b bulldog]

they will throw here

[packer4life]

now that we are close to scoring, MM will switch to run only and kick a FG :(

that's the kind of shit that kills me. that's why i want his head in a basket.

if we could only play in the redzone the way we attack between the 20s...

[gbgary]

Hay Charter can I have the game back plz

one word...directv!

[b bulldog]

88 is getting labeled today

[b bulldog]

run the ball

[TennesseePackerBacker]

now that we are close to scoring, MM will switch to run only and kick a FG :(

that's the kind of shit that kills me. that's why i want his head in a basket.

if we could only play in the redzone the way we attack between the 20s...

If MM switches to run only last time we were 1st and goal at the 8 I doubt we settle for a field goal.

[b bulldog]

idiot

[denverYooper]

uh? :?:

[packer4life]

when you go incomplete on first and goal, running becomes much harder

[CaliforniaCheez]

Setting up the FG attempt.

[Brohm]

How about a non shitty run play in the red zone

[b bulldog]

good call imo, need the lions to use a TO although I would have run on first down instead

[The Shadow]

Why do we always waste a play?

[Brohm]

MM blows ass as a playcaller in the redzone

[packer4life]

i miss the U-71

[packers11]

i miss the U-71

:lol:

[TennesseePackerBacker]

If we run first down inside the 10 it opens up so many more options on 2nd. M3 seems to get in trouble when we pass for it on first down inside the 10.

[packer4life]

kevin barry put me in heat

[b bulldog]

agree, u run on first down down here, inside of 2minutes

[gbgary]

time for a play-action, roll-out to the right for a td...if they can get out of the shotgun.

[Fosco33]

Not a fan of the redzone or goal to go playcalling today.

Get ready for a TE or WR screen... obviously they see something to exploit - I'd rather have a long developing cross route to the post. Please.

[Brohm]

yay more FG!

[b bulldog]

should have been a TD

[packer4life]

gotta catch that

[Fosco33]

Decent shot - good def play.

[b bulldog]

GOOD CALL, 88 DROPPED IT

[CaliforniaCheez]

At least Crosby made that one.

[Brohm]

All that time with the ball and this is all we got.....

[packer4life]

we are one ST blunder from being down 14-13 at halftime

[red]

god damnit m3

touchdowns, we need touchdowns

fg's suck

[TennesseePackerBacker]

I think settling for field goals in the red zone should be added to the pb packer scale.

[packers11]

packers only up by 6 with stafford throwing 2 ints :evil:

[Fosco33]

All that time with the ball and this is all we got.....

Again.

[gbgary]

good play call...just didn't work.


why does every pass have to be from the shotgun? seems to limit things.

[b bulldog]

NOT MM'S FAULT THERE

[Brohm]

Team cannot finish

[b bulldog]

21, NICE TACKLE

[Freak Out]

ALL CAPS GAME.

[Fosco33]

Wow - CW is the MAN.

[b bulldog]

Talking smack? :lol:

[gbgary]

don't play soft mm/capers!!!

[b bulldog]

15 yards

[red]

and a facemask

[packer4life]

just lovely

[CaliforniaCheez]

Well Detroit is going to get at least a FG try with the Packers playing so soft.

[gbgary]

oh chuck.

[b bulldog]

They blitzed, good play call by Lions

[denverYooper]

Back to +5....

HUGE!

[Fosco33]

NOT MM'S FAULT THERE


last 2 drives inside 10.

3 passes, FG
pass, rush, pass, FG.

After running downhill all day... some blame deserved.

[red]

it looked like popinga was trying to block woodson

[b bulldog]

77 is high stepping. 21 is such a player, review that upstairs pls

[Fosco33]

That was a fumble - watched in slo mo.

[b bulldog]

not that drive, 88 dropped the ball

[Fosco33]

not that drive, 88 dropped the ball

Defender got a hand in there.

[b bulldog]

ouch!

[b bulldog]

no, he dropped it

[gbgary]

come on D!!

[packer4life]

GOOD STOP D

[gbgary]

stafford limping now.

[b bulldog]

5 guys covering cj

[packer4life]

stafford limping now.

fuck that baby up

[b bulldog]

52 is a player

[Fosco33]

relentless

[ThunderDan]

Great motor by Clay!!!

[red]

great motor by mathews

[gbgary]

mr. matthews!!

[packer4life]

CLAY IS A FUCKIN BEAST BAM!

[denverYooper]

Wow! Surprised that ball didn't pop out there.

[bobblehead]

OMG...talk about a one man relentless effort sack.

[packer4life]

i haven't seen that kind of tenacity in a pass rusher in a looooooooooong time

[Partial]

i <3 Clay!

[b bulldog]

this is probably TT's best draft class.

[b bulldog]

Partial, you dawg

[gbgary]

detroit are so banged up. cj can't run, that other dude left early, stafford is tough but is a sitting duck. Packers have to blitz the shit out of them and put this away.

[red]

we dominated that half, we should be up by a lot more then one score

[b bulldog]

give ARod some love please

[denverYooper]

Raji and Matthews both making some nice plays today. 2009 first round looks better and better!

[mission]

Raji and Matthews playing bigger every week... that sack was unbelievable!

[Fosco33]

At the half (Pack/Lions):

1st downs (14/8)
3rd down % (66/43)
Yards (256/78)
Punts (0/1)
Turnovers (2/1)
Sacks (2/0)

Pack playing ok. Feels like last week but without the TDs. Better come out and play intense.

[denverYooper]

My favorite part of the 68 yard pass is watching Tausch keep punching his guy out of the play.

[b bulldog]

Like I tell my kids, block to the whistle

[packer4life]

Raji and Matthews both making some nice plays today. 2009 first round looks better and better!

could turn into an EPIC first round draft for the 2009 packers

[b bulldog]

Raji, Mathews, Jones, Lang, and Johnson. All 5 are pretty big contributers this year. Lang will be starting next year from the start of camp.

[Fosco33]

Keys-
1. Get after Stafford/other and ensure strong coverage on Calvin. 3+ sacks and less than 100 yards and a TD for CJ. - 2 sacks; CJ 10y and 1 TD
2. Defense - 2+ turnovers and 7+ points off turnover - Done - 2 and 10
3. Start fast AND finish strong - Didn't start fast - at all - need to prove that in the 2nd half
4. Oline - 2 or less sacks and get RG 20+ for 100+ and a TD - no sacks; RG has 11 carries for 43yards
5. ST - stop screwing up and don't lose the game -not at all. 7 points on a fumble; missed FG (game should be 16-0) besides a bunch of flags.

At the half

[b bulldog]

Football is so friggin awesome, life sucks during the off-season

[rbaloha1]

As the Fox crew mentioned the Packers need to finish drives.

[ThunderDan]

Raji and Matthews both making some nice plays today. 2009 first round looks better and better!

could turn into an EPIC first round draft for the 2009 packers

Just think of when they are a 25-28 and have actually grown into their bodies!

[gbgary]

AR has played well. he and DD were on the wrong page twice, hung finley out once, but other than that all is well.

[gbgary]

i hate halftime...there's a dog show on nbc.

[The Shadow]

The more I see of Raji the more I like him.
Mathews & Raji were excellent picks.

[gbgary]

The more I see of Raji the more I like him.
Mathews & Raji were excellent picks.


agree! hope tt can get us a real good corner.

[b bulldog]

agree

[ThunderDan]

Just think how good the Packers could be if we had more than 3 drafted players still on the team from the Sherman years. That should be those 27-32 year old core players that we don't have.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

i <3 Clay!

This is one of your man crushes I approve of :)

[bobblehead]

Football is so friggin awesome, life sucks during the off-season
QFT

[mission]

Football is so friggin awesome, life sucks during the off-season

Hell ya!! I'm so thankful for football. And to start the day with a win (hopefully) would make this day eaaaassy!

[ThunderDan]

Very high on the Packers future for the next 4-5 years.

[bobblehead]

As the Fox crew mentioned the Packers need to finish drives.

Agreed, but going 90+ makes it harder.

[b bulldog]

sorry if this is offensive but what the hell happened to the music that the black artists use to come out with?? It is all crap now.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Football is so friggin awesome, life sucks during the off-season
QFT

this needs to be pasted as the header for PackerRats. I couldn't agree more. I love a lot of sports, but none of them compare to football.

[red]

this halftime blows

whats next? are they gonna cart jacko's half decayed body out onto the field and make him dance like a puppet to thriller?

[Guiness]

i haven't seen that kind of tenacity in a pass rusher in a looooooooooong time

Not since the last time I saw Jared Allen play :twisted:

[red]

sorry if this is offensive but what the hell happened to the music that the black artists use to come out with?? It is all crap now.

tastes have just changed i guess

i agree it use to be awesome, but blows now

but so does most music as far as i'm concerned

[packer4life]

sorry if this is offensive but what the hell happened to the music that the black artists use to come out with?? It is all crap now.

stated in a less ignorant manner:

what the hell happened to the R&B music scene since the days of motown.

[gbgary]

this halftime blows

whats next? are they gonna cart jacko's half decayed body out onto the field and make him dance like a puppet to thriller?


the dog show is good.

[Fred's Slacks]

As the Fox crew mentioned the Packers need to finish drives.

Agreed, but going 90+ makes it harder.

Exactly. Special teams continues to try and lose game for us. Another terrible performance by Slocum's group. I wish they'd just realize that they don't need to make big plays on specials. They just need to not f--- up. Maybe that is too difficult.

[Guiness]

Packers declared RB Ahman Green, WR Biren Ealy, CB Josh Bell, S Matt Giordano, T Breno Giacomini, T Allen Barbre, LB Aaron Kampman, and DE Jarius Wynn inactive for Thanksgiving Day.

I know Barbre is listed on the injury report as doubtful, but I wonder if he could play, and is effectively a healthy scratch. This could be the end for him.

Can't be, we don't have a swing T to plug in. I hope no one gets hurt.

[b bulldog]

more ST folley

[denverYooper]

Crosby's probably the best tackler on STs :lol:

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Crosby ST demon! lol

[gbgary]

hope crosby's ok.

[b bulldog]

Big drive here, need to shut them down

[ThunderDan]

C Wood is a beast!

[b bulldog]

how good is 21? HOF'er!

[red]

WOW

c-wood . what a catch

need a td here

[gbgary]

chuck!!

[red]

gonna lose the challenge

that was a great grab

[denverYooper]

Nice snag by Chuck!

High snap there by the kitties.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

WOW

c-wood . what a catch

need a td here

I hope we see Chuck at this level for several more years.

[gbgary]

stupid challenge...did mccarthy throw the flag?

[packer4life]

21 strikes again. Let's get a tuddy and neutralize our ST blunder to start the game.

[denverYooper]

Need 7 here. Time to get the knives out and go for the throat.

[The Shadow]

I think it stands.

[packer4life]

a playoff team sticks it right here...no doubt

[b bulldog]

it was caught imo

[denverYooper]

I guess that moves us back to +4.

[denverYooper]

Scratch that. Back to 5.

[b bulldog]

:roll: I hate 73

[red]

fucking 73

come on guys

[packer4life]

a playoff team sticks it right here...no doubt

pretenders pull a false start and ruin momentum.

yes i just replied to myself...FUN

[b bulldog]

nice call

[denverYooper]

Solid run there by Grant!

[b bulldog]

the Lee we love

[red]

theres the lee we all love

[denverYooper]

BIG PLAY HERE! LET'S GO O!

[TennesseePackerBacker]

GO FOR IT!

[b bulldog]

go for it, I don;t trust crosby

[red]

shit call, shit call, shit call

not acceptable

[red]

WOW

[denverYooper]

Somebody missed.

[b bulldog]

12 needs to see that and go to his read

[packer4life]

FUCK

[gbgary]

:shock: wow

[b bulldog]

big stop

[ThunderDan]

12 needs to see that and go to his read

No way!

He's rolling right and gets caught from behind in 1.8 seconds. That's O-LINE all the way.

[The Shadow]

There's the one flaw in Rodgers' game : on 4th & 2, you can't wait that long.
