Official Packers @ Lions Turkey Game Thread

[packer4life]

no one in backfield on 4th and 2 and in shotgun...can MM set arod up more for disaster. i know the oline has played ok today, but man oh man you gotta have someone back there to help in that situation

[denverYooper]

+6

[bobblehead]

12 needs to see that and go to his read

you might be right, but what leads you to conclude this over someone missing a block??

[gbgary]

Packers keeping it close.

[b bulldog]

52 and 77. Guess that was on Cliffy, that made sense

[bobblehead]

12 needs to see that and go to his read

you might be right, but what leads you to conclude this over someone missing a block??

and now that i saw the replay cliffy just never looked at his guy.

[denverYooper]

Packers keeping it close.

Yup. They can play with anybody, and that's good and bad.

[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!

I'll call one more.

[b bulldog]

I was wrong, thought cliffy was manned up and he was the free blitzer

[ThunderDan]

Hold on Matthenw, come on ref call it!!

[red]

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

clifton didn't even get out of his stance

he could have at least done something to slow down peterson

[b bulldog]

That was on Clifton

[denverYooper]

Well, now that the O has some space maybe we can get a score here.

They were a little too close to the end zone last time to be effective :).

[gbgary]

come D...bail out the O!!

[TennesseePackerBacker]

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

Future left tackle first round next year. Book it.

[Fosco33]

won't be shocked to see lions hang it al out this half. some reverses, halfback toss, fake punts, etc.

[bobblehead]

Hold on Matthenw, come on ref call it!!

with dallas we were called for 5 offensive holds and dallas one if i recall

[TennesseePackerBacker]

beautiful pass and catch.

[Guiness]

that was a nice punt - I20, hang time was perfect. Jordy should've fair caught that, it could've been disastrous.

[Fosco33]

can't wait for 24! welcome back jack!!

[packer4life]

seems like driver is getting open deep a lot this year and i dont see jennings with the same success. i can't believe that teams are still doubling GJ that much and not focusing a bit more on driver

[ThunderDan]

can't wait for 24! welcome back jack!!

Thought you were talking about J Bush!

[TennesseePackerBacker]

The age-less wonder!

[b bulldog]

nice

[b bulldog]

that was special

[Fosco33]

like the rollout

[TennesseePackerBacker]

that was special

It's nice to know all those failed sweeps set up something.

[Guiness]

Driver was still the #1 last year for a reason. I think they're still a 1a and 1b situation, and that causes problems for teams.

Wow that was a mismatch on DD's last catch. Was that a safety on him? That's what I call separation!

[denverYooper]

TD HERE! WE NEED IT!

[Fosco33]

redzone... incomplete pass. thanks m3...

[ThunderDan]

Driver was still the #1 last year for a reason. I think they're still a 1a and 1b situation, and that causes problems for teams.

Wow that was a mismatch on DD's last catch. Was that a safety on him? That's what I call separation!

With GJ getting the double. DD is causing problems.

[Fosco33]

and another pass att - had to run.

[packer4life]

i guess no need to force it when your second option (DD) can crush the opposition's #2 CB

[b bulldog]

Dagger!

[Guiness]

Exactly. And if DD was getting the double, my FF team would be a lot better!!! :lol:

[red]

nice

[denverYooper]

NICE!

WAY TO STAND UP TO PRESSURE AND DELIVER!

DUD HAVING AN AWESOME DAY!

[gbgary]

threaded that needle.

[Fosco33]

snuck it in there... not a fan of rz calls

[b bulldog]

HUGE SCORE, time for more pics please

[ThunderDan]

LOL!!!

[packer4life]

when dd steps down (hopefully not for 2 more years), who's stepping up...JJ or JN

[gbgary]

NICE!

WAY TO STAND UP TO PRESSURE AND DELIVER!

DUDE HAVING AN AWESOME DAY!

fixed!

[ThunderDan]

i guess no need to force it when your second option (DD) can crush the opposition's #2 CB

A lot of truth to this. See what ARod does with time!

[The Shadow]

Aikman said Driver was "clearly slowing down"?????
I sure don't see it.

[ThunderDan]

ARod:

22/33 293 y and 2 tds

[b bulldog]

I'd love to return kicks against our coverage unit

[gbgary]

come on capers...turn them loose!

[b bulldog]

Yet another stellar day for Arod

[ThunderDan]

Hawk!!!

[denverYooper]

Raji crushed the left side of Detroit's line there.

[Guiness]

Announcer just said h-A-vner, with a long a. I thought is was have-ner. Which is correct?

[packer4life]

how conservative is MM gonna get on the next series...that's my question. i honestly think he's gonna keep passing the rest of the game they cannot stop us (unless its the redzone :( )

[b bulldog]

nice pitch and catch there

[denverYooper]

COME ON D!

[red]

shit, come on jenkins

cliffy's out

[packer4life]

thank god, we can't lose jenkins/al/kampman this year, that's our heart and soul

[b bulldog]

Hopefully he is just tired, Cliffy is hurt again!!!!! TT better spend some $$$ to replace him this offseason

[packer4life]

too bad good FA LTs that are young are almost nonexistent

[b bulldog]

McNeil or Brown would be a great fit, he needs to make a move at that position

[b bulldog]

marcus McNeil and Jamaal Brown

[packer4life]

McNeil or Brown would be a great fit, he needs to make a move at that position

who are these guys? enlighten me

[b bulldog]

Come on D

[denverYooper]

shit, come on jenkins

cliffy's out

Hammy for Cliffy.

[ThunderDan]

Why is Poopy in?

[red]

GOD DAMNIT BUSH

he threw it right to you

asshat

[packer4life]

catch it bush! at least u didn't fuck up haha

[denverYooper]

Nice break by Bush there. Gotta hang on to that, though.

[gbgary]

bush...nice play.

[ThunderDan]

That's why Bush is a CB not a WR.

[packer4life]

guess that makes nick collins a number 1 wideout

[b bulldog]

Brown is a LT for the Saints who has been hurt so they will most likely let him walk and McNeil is the Chargers LT. Both are good and young, McNeil might be tough to get out of SD though.

[denverYooper]

There's your shovel pass.

[b bulldog]

Need the Broncos to win tonight. Nice play Arod

[Guiness]

GOD DAMNIT BUSH

he threw it right to you

asshat

no kidding. Have to hold on to that.

[gbgary]

That's why Bush is a CB not a WR.

come on now...give him some credit. the tightend broke that play up. stuck his arm in there.

[Guiness]

Brown is a LT for the Saints who has been hurt so they will most likely let him walk and McNeil is the Chargers LT. Both are good and young, McNeil might be tough to get out of SD though.

What makes you think McNeil might be available?

[b bulldog]

Tough run for 4 :)

[ThunderDan]

That's why Bush is a CB not a WR.

come on now...give him some credit. the tightend broke that play up. stuck his arm in there.

He let it hit his shoulder pads. If he catches it clean the TE makes the tackle thats all.

Great break by Bush!

[Fosco33]

Favre-esque. ARod is the MAN.

[b bulldog]

His contract is up but they may tag him. Merriman's contarct is also up though and LT and the lil running back are due to hit the market. In my perfect world, we sign Brown and Merriman.

[gbgary]

very nice!! good stretch there. wow.

[packer4life]

Favre-esque. ARod is the MAN.

dammit we were doing so good not bringing up that man's name

[packer4life]

hey can we get grant a TD i need a fantasy pick me up

[b bulldog]

Jones is a good 3 or 4. I don't think he could be our 2 ever though. He is not explosive enough.

[Fosco33]

Favre-esque. ARod is the MAN.

dammit we were doing so good not bringing up that man's name

Now the announcers bring up that man's name. When will it end? Ha.

[b bulldog]

No penalty or no big run back??

[gbgary]

Jones is a good 3 or 4. I don't think he could be our 2 ever though. He is not explosive enough.

yup. a good contributor though. we've had worse.

[b bulldog]

Hit him 24, you wuss

[b bulldog]

7-4, nice break before the Ravens game for the players, things could be so much worse.

[ThunderDan]

I told Snake it wasn't a nail-biter today without Al and AK.

[gbgary]

need to put pressure on stafford till it's totally out of reach for detroit.

[packer4life]

brad jones sighting...

[b bulldog]

Jones is a solid R. He is very athletic and also very smart.

[packer4life]

Jones is a solid R. He is very athletic and also very smart.

how is he as a 3rd down pass rusher...that's what im the most concerned with

[b bulldog]

You going to run like a tree, you goin to get whacked :lol:

[denverYooper]

Good strategy there by the Lions to punt. Special teams gives them the best chance to get in the game...

[gbgary]

hope jordy's ok...took a shot to the head there.

[b bulldog]

He played in the 3/4 at Colorado. He is going to be solid imo but his position is far from being safe as a starter. Good player though.

[packer4life]

hope jordy's ok...took a shot to the head there.

put someone back there with SPEED. we are missing a true athlete fielding punts since we lost WB

[b bulldog]

Don't get too conservative now

[gbgary]

how many yards for grant so far?

[b bulldog]

Human pinball machine

[packer4life]

Human pinball machine

why roll him left?

[b bulldog]

around 58 running, 42 through the air

[gbgary]

ar took a shot to the ribs there

[b bulldog]

agree, throwing against your body.

[gbgary]

around 58 running, 42 through the air

thanks

[b bulldog]

stat padding time for Stafford. 24 should be cut

[b bulldog]

he is awful

[red]

bush is just freakin clueless

[packer4life]

jarrett bush has single handedly double that mans passing yards

[b bulldog]

passrush anyone

[ThunderDan]

Hold on Mattews again, come on REFS!!!!

[Fosco33]

Back to back holding no calls on Matthews.

And Bush misses another INT. He isn't ready.

[gbgary]

stafford is a good improvisational qb.

[b bulldog]

very strong arm

[gbgary]

bush is just freakin clueless

he had good coverage there.

[packer4life]

Back to back holding no calls on Matthews.

And Bush misses another INT. He isn't ready.

one word: underwood

[b bulldog]

has no clue on how to play the ball though, never has

[Fosco33]

weird play there - matthews gets a hand on it.

[b bulldog]

or Bell, or Ford

[denverYooper]

Nice play by Bush there.

[red]

bush celebrating again for doing nothing. ball hit the ground 5 yards in front of the wr

[Fosco33]

Bad play calling. Puts us deep.

[b bulldog]

20 with the pressure

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Great stand defense. That's what the best in the league do.

[b bulldog]

put Flynn in and let him throw it around some

[ThunderDan]

Seems like a quick game.

[CaliforniaCheez]

99 yard drive that takes 9 minutes would be good.

[denverYooper]

put Flynn in and let him throw it around some

Yeah. Flynn can hand off with the best of 'em.

[Fosco33]

Matthews only has 1 tackle and a sack - but he's been key. Big fan.

Don't think we've missed Kamp yet. Good game to get Bush/TWill more plays - and 11 days to plan for next game and heal (Clifton, ARod, etc.).

[denverYooper]

Well, that was interesting.

[b bulldog]

Dumb ass call, slow developing play at the GL

[gbgary]

he was down

[ThunderDan]

That's a safety!

[red]

you're in the endzone, you don't run a slow developing play and hand the ball off 7 yards in the backfield

stupid

[Freak Out]

:oops:

[Fosco33]

Stupid stupid stupid call.
challenge it.

[CaliforniaCheez]

Oh the ineptitude!!

[b bulldog]

WHAT A MORON!

[Fosco33]

Looks like ball is coming out when elbow/shoulder hit... 80% call stands.

[gbgary]

good challenge.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

good challenge.

Agreed. The shoulder hit before the ball ever did. McCarthy should finally get one right.

[packer4life]

shouldn't be going backwards at the goalline...doh

[CaliforniaCheez]

good challenge.

This is the same guy who has advised McCarthy in the past.

It can't be good. I'd rather have the ball than kick it.

[gbgary]

elbow was down. safety.

[rbaloha1]

Should be over turned -- safety Lions. Nonetheless the Packers are having problems putting away teams.

Packers are still sloppy with penalties and return yardage.

[Fosco33]

Agree - good to challenge. Big play. But if it's a TD - we get the ball and can get the TD back and knock off a bunch of time. If it's a safety, they get the ball and can score 6-8.

[ThunderDan]

Can't run outside on the goal line, but it looked like Tausch and Sitton were pushed back.

[red]

M3

http://www.joblo.com/newsimages1/floundergeek.jpg

[Fosco33]

Need D to step up and get us another big stop. Really want to them to cover the spread.

[gbgary]

we should have passed to get out of that spot. oh well...

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Should be over turned -- safety Lions. Nonetheless the Packers are having problems putting away teams.

Packers are still sloppy with penalties and return yardage.

We're up 27-9 after playing 3 games in 11 days. Sometimes it's just never enough for you people.

[b bulldog]

stafford looks sore

[denverYooper]

Should be over turned -- safety Lions. Nonetheless the Packers are having problems putting away teams.

Packers are still sloppy with penalties and return yardage.

We're up 27-9 after playing 3 games in 11 days.

That's a good point. They're rotating some starters out, too.

[Fosco33]

Back - back bad plays on offense. Rather they just have Flynn sneak it to the 3, take a shot with a quick slant to the 7 and then either quick out or run for 1st down.

[CaliforniaCheez]

No penalty on the Packers during the return!!

[denverYooper]

OK D. Put it away!

[b bulldog]

no, it is just that the call was stupid. The D new what was coming so you run laterally at the gl?? sHOULD BE RUNNING NORTH AND SOUTH,

[Fosco33]

Another crappy play by ST.

How many games will M3 let SLOW-CUM 'stick' around?

http://www.popartuk.com/g/l/lget5010+homer-simpson-stupid-like-a-fox-the-simpsons-poster-card.jpg

[b bulldog]

Jones with the pressure

[packer4life]

no, it is just that the call was stupid. The D new what was coming so you run laterally at the gl?? sHOULD BE RUNNING NORTH AND SOUTH,

and last time i checked grant is NOT fast dont run laterally

[denverYooper]

No penalty on the Packers during the return!!

34 yard return on a decent punt, though.

[b bulldog]

36 with a great stop

[packer4life]

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=4691757&campaign=rss&source=ESPNHeadlines

love CW

[b bulldog]

Hawk should have felt that

[CaliforniaCheez]

Dom Capers playing prevent defense.

[denverYooper]

Sigh.

[Fosco33]

I hate that we change our play calling on O/D in the 4th Q if we're up by 2 scores.

Haven't they learned we're not good at this prevent and clocking shit yet.

[gbgary]

no, it is just that the call was stupid. The D new what was coming so you run laterally at the gl?? sHOULD BE RUNNING NORTH AND SOUTH,

if you're gonna run, yes!! silly call.

[packer4life]

Dom Capers playing prevent defense.

he blitzed 2 plays ago

[b bulldog]

great coverage 21

[TennesseePackerBacker]

CW has to be in the top 3 for defensive player of the year. Where has Megatron been all day?

[b bulldog]

Can Hawk cover someone... please

[denverYooper]

Can Hawk cover someone... please

His coverage was decent there.

[gbgary]

CW has to be in the top 3 for defensive player of the year. Where has Megatron been all day?

i've missed something with the megatron thing. who is this?

[denverYooper]

Jones has to close those out.

[Fosco33]

If they score, they'll do an onside.

Down 18 - do you do 8, 7, 3?

[TennesseePackerBacker]

CW has to be in the top 3 for defensive player of the year. Where has Megatron been all day?

i've missed something with the megatron thing. who is this?

Calvin Johnsons nickname. Megatron...I don't normally use player nicknames but I love that one.

[b bulldog]

I can live with that

[gbgary]

D did well there considering!!

[packer4life]

FG!? pussies...

[CaliforniaCheez]

It could be worse......

[Fosco33]

now for the onside. Then they'll do 7, then 8 - extend possibilities.

time for special teams to not be retarded.

[ThunderDan]

Can Hawk cover someone... please

His hands were inside the RBs arms, you can't be closer without PI.

[b bulldog]

Need to make the play though, the story of his career

[denverYooper]

time for special teams to not be retarded.

2nd.

[ThunderDan]

Need to make the play though, the story of his career

Hawks got 9 tackles today, 8 solo and he still gets shit on this board.

[b bulldog]

Lions must know that MM will just run it three staight plays

[denverYooper]

now for the onside. Then they'll do 7, then 8 - extend possibilities.

time for special teams to not be retarded.

When you need it done right, you call Woodson, I guess.

[packer4life]

hawk did a good job. bulldog is a bit too hard on the guy

[Fosco33]

FG!? pussies...

Pussy cats for sure. Why not onside?

Why no reverses with CJ, why no half back pass (worked vs. GB last week), no flea flickers, no fake punts?

Gaping v holes.

[b bulldog]

how many tfl's?

[Fosco33]

Lions must know that MM will just run it three staight plays


M3 is queen of conservative. Better get a few first downs here.

[packer4life]

they gotta blast the sand outta their vaginas...they have a piss poor record, not playing for anything but pride, and their talent is clearly substandard...run some trickery out there, show the fans u'll at least TRY to be entertaining since the wins are not gonna come just yet

[b bulldog]

Hawk is good/solid, no more, for a 5th overall pick, sorry, not enough for me.

[denverYooper]

Lions must know that MM will just run it three staight plays


M3 is queen of conservative. Better get a few first downs here.

I actually liked the quick toss to Jennings on first there.

[ThunderDan]

how many tfl's?

At least one I can recall of off the top of my head.

[Fosco33]

Lions must know that MM will just run it three staight plays


M3 is queen of conservative. Better get a few first downs here.

M3 has a gaping v hole and a hole.

[b bulldog]

Hawk has played much better since Moss infered that his play wasn't where it should be. he has looked much better as of late.

[Fosco33]

another bad play by Bush and ST - he's a magnet for the ball and has no idea where it is.

[b bulldog]

amazing

[denverYooper]

No runback, at least.

Woodson with the Knife!

[TennesseePackerBacker]

M V P M V P M V P M V P!

[imscott72]

Woody is a freakin stud!!

[CaliforniaCheez]

Culpepper will remind somebody about the number of INT's today.

[b bulldog]

Dagger, game, set, match!

[denverYooper]

M V P M V P M V P M V P!

It's crazy how little love he gets compared to some players.

[ThunderDan]

C Johnson - 2 catches 1 TD
C Wood - 2 catches 1 TD

[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!

I'll call one more.

:violin:

[packer4life]

C Johnson - 2 catches 1 TD
C Wood - 2 catches 1 TD

hehe that made me giggle like a girl

[TennesseePackerBacker]

7-4....It's amazing what 3 weeks can do for you. GO BRONCOS!

[denverYooper]

C Johnson - 2 catches 1 TD
C Wood - 2 catches 1 TD

That's a helluva stat.

[Fosco33]

CW is GB's Def MVP and league Def player of year - easy.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

M V P M V P M V P M V P!

It's crazy how little love he gets compared to some players.

He's my favorite Packer defensive player since Leroy Butler. Noone beats Reggie though.

[denverYooper]

Trevor Ford made the tackle and downed the last punt. Maybe he'll turn those ST's around :P

[gbgary]

stepped out of the room and missed the chuck moment. dang it!


he's so f'n good!!

[ThunderDan]

C Johnson - 2 catches 1 TD
C Wood - 2 catches 1 TD

C Johnson 10 yards
C Wood 38 yards

[denverYooper]

Look's like Bretsky's made good on his prediction. 7-4 here we come!

Not even special teams can kill this one for us.

[denverYooper]

Why even challenge that?

[b bulldog]

21 with a ff

[CaliforniaCheez]

stepped out of the room and missed the chuck moment. dang it!




Eggshell bladder

[ThunderDan]

ARod- 28/39 348y 3td
Stafford - 20/43 214y 1td 4int

[KYPack]

The wily mentor challenges the call, eh?

Happy TDay everybody!

[denverYooper]

Why even challenge that?

Duh.

Then they can take the D off and just run out the clock with Flynn.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Why even challenge that?

If nothing else it gives your defense a rest.

[packer4life]

MM wants an extra 2 points on his fantasy team!

[b bulldog]

What a day for 21

[gbgary]

mm...a challenge genius today.

[CaliforniaCheez]

I'm in shock that McCarthy is 2 for 2 on challenges!!

[b bulldog]

I like Flynn, he could be a good one imo if given a chance. Kid is a great leader and a pure winner.

[MOBB DEEP]

gota say im pretty proud of our showing today on national TV

Fatboy had great gameplan imo

[TennesseePackerBacker]

I like Flynn, he could be a good one imo if given a chance. Kid is a great leader and a pure winner.

Agreed. The Packers already have a great player and possible pro-bowler at the position on the roster though. Maybe TT can channel his inner Ron Wolf and crank us out several quality qb's to back up our star.

[MOBB DEEP]

What a day for 21

Team MVP?
