Official Packers-Seahawks Thread

[BallHawk]

Since I've had so much success starting gamethreads in the Brewers forum, I figured I'll try my luck here.

Should be an easy win. Anybody disagree?

Should be an easy win. Anybody disagree?

Are there almost ANY games that don't turn in to nail-biters - at least at some point with this team?

[Bretsky]

Pack wins this week and AZ sits their starters for a win next week

Now looking back at Brewer gamethread history

We're done come playoff time :lol: :wink:

[retailguy]

This is the NFL. There are no easy games unless you're in Cleveland or Detroit.

[HowardRoark]

I've got reservations about so many things, but not about this one.

[Scott Campbell]

Must win game. Period. They better not even be thinking about coming out flat.

[sheepshead]

Decided to go to the game at the last minute-anyone else going?

[KYPack]

The boys are pissed after last week's fluky close loss on the road. Playing a below so-so SHawk squad? At home?

Should be an easy win.

AZ will be tough than most think, I hope we don't need it to make the play-offs.

[CaliforniaCheez]

If the Packers do not win by 30 it will be a disappointment.

[Pugger]

I don't care what the final score is as long as we get the W. At the end of the day that is all that matters, not the point spread. I will only be disappointed if we LOSE, not if we don't win by 30 points. Sheesh. :roll:

[esoxx]

This will be a walk in the park. Total dominance.

Packers 35
Seahawks 10

[Tyrone Bigguns]

I've got reservations about so many things, but not about this one.

Stop fucking up the lyrics.

[Tyrone Bigguns]

If the Packers do not win by 30 it will be a disappointment.

Prepare to be disappointed.

[channtheman]

I don't care what the final score is as long as we get the W. At the end of the day that is all that matters, not the point spread. I will only be disappointed if we LOSE, not if we don't win by 30 points. Sheesh. :roll:

I'm gonna have to agree with you there. This isn't college, the scores don't mean shit. Would I prefer for Rodgers to get 4 TD's in a dominant win? Absolutely. However, I don't care how we play or how anyone's stats are if we win, just that we win.

[esoxx]

This is the NFL. There are no easy games unless you're in Cleveland or Detroit.

The 1-13 St. Louis Rams called and beg to differ.

[MJZiggy]

There's one team that would argue with you...

[Fred's Slacks]

I hope the optimism is correct.

We made the bucs look pretty good coming off our last "tough" loss.

I hope this team learned something from that and they come out pissed.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

anyone have a link to the game?

[MJZiggy]

anyone have a link to the game?

Every week you ask and every week I tell you it's on at my house. I'm starting to get offended, Mister.

[gbgary]

good day fellow rats. let's win this!!

[gbgary]

just how cold is it?

[The Leaper]

Not looking good early...1st and 5, and can't convert a first down.

[Brohm]

Sack + crap punt. less than auspicious start :shock:

[The Leaper]

Julius JOnes run hard into the hole for 8 yards...Ryan Grant tippy toes and rarely gains squat.

[The Leaper]

I'd rather put AHman Green in there and pound it.

[MOBB DEEP]

shoot!

[MOBB DEEP]

Must win game. Period. They better not even be thinking about coming out flat.

jinx

[The Leaper]

Wow...no fire at all from the Packers early. Look completely flat on both sides of the ball.

[pbmax]

For good luck.

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

[pbmax]

Can we ask the offensive line to continue to pass block past 3 seconds, instead of giving up?

[The Leaper]

Can we ask the defense to stop giving up 8 yard runs on first down?

[Brohm]

No run defense today :(

[pbmax]

Hasselback with a Favre moment. :lol:

[gbgary]

what was hasstleback thinking there

[Brohm]

A WTF play by Hass :shock:

[imscott72]

WTF is Hass doin? LOL..Right to the Hawkster..

[The Leaper]

What the hell was that?

Nice gift for Hawk.

[pbmax]

what was hasstleback thinking there
I think he thought Hawk was his receiver.

[denverYooper]

Beauty Clark.

[gbgary]

took seven to tackle number 80

[pbmax]

Grant must be legally blind.

[Brohm]

That is some ugly running

[Bossman641]

I don't think anyone will ever confuse Hawk for a speedster

[Bossman641]

Fuck, flag

[pbmax]

Beatiful screen, flag a no. A real nice plan and call.

[gbgary]

penalty? no.........td!!

[imscott72]

Jackson! TD!!

[Bossman641]

That a way Jackson

[The Leaper]

I am coming to HATE Ryan Grant.

Utterly mediocre.

[The Leaper]

Jackson shows what we NEED in a #1 RB in terms of receiving ability.

[denverYooper]

Action Jackson. Whoop!

[gbgary]

I am coming to HATE Ryan Grant.

Utterly mediocre.


please :roll:

Thank you. Great feed. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Now let's go Pack!!

[gbgary]

how cold is it today in Packland?

nevermind...heard 20

[The Leaper]

That is why you don't even THINK about getting rid of Crosby.

[pbmax]

Packers have changed their jerseys. Smaller print for the player names.

[gbgary]

nicksack!!

[imscott72]

That attaboy Nick!!

[Brohm]

Nelson = fucktard

[imscott72]

Jordy you dope.. :x

[The Leaper]

Glad we got rid of Jon Ryan.

[TravisWilliams23]

Glad we got rid of Jon Ryan.

Wasn't it Slocum who had the hard on for Frost?

At least that asshat is gone.

[gbgary]

Glad we got rid of Jon Ryan.

i didn't really get that either.

[pbmax]

Glad we got rid of Jon Ryan.

Wasn't it Slocum who had the hard on for Frost?

At least that asshat is gone.
Nope. Mike Stock.

[Brandon494]

I'll say it once again, Nelson is NOT the answer as a returner. I pray we are able to draft C.J. Spiller next year.

[pbmax]

Delay of game in your own stadium. :roll:

[Brohm]

Rodgers having problems today 0.o

[Badgerinmaine]

What a break on what would have been a sack...

[MOBB DEEP]

Rodgers having problems today 0.o

GET RID OF THE BALL!

[The Leaper]

We need to start RUNNING THE FUCKING BALL!

Rodgers is going to get killed.

[Brohm]

OL blows. Saved by penalty. Wow, no run blocking :oops:

[pbmax]

Looks like the middle of the season pass protection. Also nice of Wells to jump on Rodgers at the end.

[pbmax]

We need to start RUNNING THE FUCKING BALL!

Rodgers is going to get killed.
Running game is nowhere. Need to complete shorter routes.

[imscott72]

Arod was lucky there..

[Brohm]

Wow...wtf is going on down there

[denverYooper]

Let's just start that drive over...

[pbmax]

No more Christmas off for the Packers.

[Brohm]

Well that was a very vomitacious series.

[pbmax]

Nice punt by Kapinos.

[imscott72]

Nice punt..

[denverYooper]

Wow, that was ugly. All of it.

[The Leaper]

Seattle is trying to let us win this game...but I'm not sure we want to win it yet.

[packer4life]

that 3 and out def induced nausea

[denverYooper]

Carolina up 3-0 :). Go Panthers!

[Freak Out]

Rodgers looks a bit jumpy today.

[Brohm]

Nice, CMIII behind the line

[The Leaper]

At least the run defense has returned.

[pbmax]

Carolina up on GMen

[pbmax]

We should move Jolly to TE! :lol:

[gbgary]

damm...did we smell that out or what

[MOBB DEEP]

jolly probowler

[Bossman641]

Jolly is pretty athletic for such a big guy

[The Leaper]

Jolly almost has better hands than some of our WRs.

[The Leaper]

Still glad we dumped Jon Ryan.

[Brohm]

Nelson left his sack in the locker room today.

[denverYooper]

That was an awful long looking 3 yard run.

[The Leaper]

Nelson left his sack in the locker room today.

Apparently you missed the Seahawk that ran 5 yards past Nelson. That was absolutely a fair catch situation.

[gbgary]

time to move the chains and get some points.

[Brohm]

Nelson left his sack in the locker room today.

Apparently you missed the Seahawk that ran 5 yards past Nelson. That was absolutely a fair catch situation.

1 guy to beat that was by him when he caught the ball with 10+ yards in front is what I saw.

[pbmax]

Rodgers off on that throw.

[gbgary]

should have just run that

[The Leaper]

Rodgers should pull the ball down and run for 5 there.

[imscott72]

It's a little disturbing that we can't run on these guys at all. Is the blocking that bad?

[pbmax]

Perfect storm of ineptitude. Can't run, can't complete short. 3rd and long, get pressured.

[Bossman641]

Nelson left his sack in the locker room today.

Apparently you missed the Seahawk that ran 5 yards past Nelson. That was absolutely a fair catch situation.

1 guy to beat that was by him when he caught the ball with 10+ yards in front is what I saw.

I'm assuming the Seahawk defender would have slowed up and hammered Nelson if he didn't call a fair catch.

[gbgary]

nice throw and catch

[imscott72]

Jennings!!! What a throw!

[Brohm]

:D There he is!

[The Leaper]

We can complete long though.

[Bossman641]

Beautiful throw

[pbmax]

Clifton got beat on the left side. His protection is really suffering lately.

[The Leaper]

1 guy to beat that was by him when he caught the ball with 10+ yards in front is what I saw.

Than it is you that are the fucktard...because if he doesn't call for a fair catch, the first guy reams him immediately...and in cold weather than could easily mean fumble.

The first guy only ran past BECAUSE of the fair catch signal.

[imscott72]

OMG Jennings just torched Trufant..

[pbmax]

Well, this looks better. Complete short, either break it long or hae favorable down and distance.

[imscott72]

Thats a TD!! YESSSSS

[pbmax]

TD and here comes a challenge? Maybe not.

[Badgerinmaine]

Thaaaaaat's better!

[The Leaper]

2 for 2 on extra points...whew.

[pbmax]

1 guy to beat that was by him when he caught the ball with 10+ yards in front is what I saw.

Enough of the name calling. If you must, go to the garbage can and start a game thread there. People can disagree. Leave it alone

[packer4life]

uglyish quarter. up 14-0. i guess we can still call that a fast start!

:P

[pbmax]

Grant made a good decision there. Off tackle wasn't available and he bounced outside and actually made the corner.

[The Leaper]

Enough of the name calling. If you must, go to the garbage can and start a game thread there. People can disagree. Leave it alone

Sorry...but I'm not going to listen to someone rip on a player continually without a valid reason. He called Nelson a fucktard, so I just returned the favor.

[Badgerinmaine]

TD Panthers! Giants are now down 10-0.

[packer4life]

panthers up 10-0!

[denverYooper]

Carolina just scored a TD. Up 9-0 pending XP :)

[Brohm]

He biffed the first and I thought he biffed the second. He's not a good punt returner but an effort would be nice

[The Leaper]

What happened to the Panthers? They start eating roids or something?

[packer4life]

its a nice winter day to clinch a playoff spot.

Thank you! Great link! Let's go Pack! Cure my hangover :(

[imscott72]

Panthers 10-0!

[denverYooper]

What happened to the Panthers? They start eating roids or something?

Moore is turning out to be a deece QB. Their offense has looked much better lately.

[The Leaper]

He biffed the first and I thought he biffed the second. He's not a good punt returner but an effort would be nice

He also returned the opening kickoff very well. He's a decent returner...he doesn't run around backwards losing yardage. Sure, it would be nice to have Josh Cribbs...but Jordy is the best we currently have IMO outside of guys who are valuable starters that we aren't going to stick back there.

[imscott72]

What happened to the Panthers? They start eating roids or something?

I've always liked John Fox. Always has his teamed prepared..

[Bossman641]

BUSH :evil: :evil:

[imscott72]

Come on D. Don't let up. We're only up 14.

[The Leaper]

WHY...WHY...WHY is Bush still on this team?

[packer4life]

he never knows what to properly do when the ball is in the air.

[denverYooper]

What the F? Come on D!

[Brandon494]

What happened to the Panthers? They start eating roids or something?

Jake Delhomme to the IR is what happened to the Panthers.

[denverYooper]

BUSH :evil: :evil:

Wonder how long before Bell takes his spot.

[Badgerinmaine]

Seems like everyone the Packers play tries to keep up with how many penalties the Packers take. :?

[Badgerinmaine]

Reach...for ATARI!

[imscott72]

Bigby!!! WOOT

[packer4life]

who tipped that ball?

[The Leaper]

Nice job Bigby...this defense sure knows how to make plays.

[gbgary]

another takeaway. way to stiffen up D.

[packer4life]

Nice job Bigby...this defense sure knows how to make plays.

you should see my insane pressure D i use with the pack on madden...they pick of balls constantly too haha

[Badgerinmaine]

That's two good Seattle drives already that have ended with picks in Packers territory. Hopefully that'll discourage the Hawks a bit.

[denverYooper]

What happened to the Panthers? They start eating roids or something?

Jake Delhomme to the IR is what happened to the Panthers.

Ding ding ding! They'd be in the playoff hunt too if they'd benched him early.

[Badgerinmaine]

who tipped that ball?
Johnny Jolly

[imscott72]

No flag?

[imscott72]

Arod really got lit up..

[gbgary]

limping off...hope he's ok

[Badgerinmaine]

Don't look now, but Carolina is on the Giants 22.

[The Leaper]

Rodgers will get hurt today...he's holding the ball way too long.

[gbgary]

17-0 car

[imscott72]

17-0 Panthers!! WOWOW

[Badgerinmaine]

MOOOOOOOOOOSE! Muhsin Muhammad scores--Touchdown, Panthers--Giants down 17-0

[The Leaper]

17-0 Carolina...Giants are laying an egg at home.

[gbgary]

Rodgers will get hurt today...he's holding the ball way too long.

i hope not...and he is! gotta get rid of it sooner.

[packer4life]

nice to see the opposition getting all the flags for a change

[Badgerinmaine]

17-0 Carolina...Giants are laying an egg at home.
And this with DeAngelo Williams out for Carolina, too.

[The Leaper]

Jolly wants to be the FG kicker apparently.

[The Leaper]

C'mon Capers...rushing just 3 again? Did you learn NOTHING from last week?

[packer4life]

there's that 3 man rush = vomit

[pbmax]

How does that pass get through 5 men in coverage?

[gbgary]

three man rush strikes again

[The Leaper]

I wish we did more with no huddles to help wear out the opposing DL.

[mission]

Chillar looks like an idiot out there... jeeeeez

[denverYooper]

How does that pass get through 5 men in coverage?

:?:

[denverYooper]

Carolina just picked Eli Manning off and are on NYG's 19.

[The Leaper]

Damn Williams...gotta put in a little more effort than that.

[imscott72]

WTF was TWill doing on that last play?

[packer4life]

Damn Williams...gotta put in a little more effort than that.

nah he had help up top...play fake prob froze collins a bit

[The Leaper]

Stupid challenge.

[gbgary]

that'll stand based on the replay i saw

[pbmax]

How does that pass get through 5 men in coverage?

:?:
5 men underneath ahead of the first down marker to prevent that pass.

[pbmax]

How does that pass get through 5 men in coverage?

:?:
5 men underneath ahead of the first down marker to prevent that pass.
And three deep to prevent something really bad.

[The Leaper]

nah he had help up top...play fake prob froze collins a bit

I know he had help up top...but Williams didn't move more than 5 feet on that entire play. Barely touched Branch either. Made the throw way too easy for Hass.

[pbmax]

Holding. And it didn't even work.

[gbgary]

come on D...hold 'em to a fg and no more.

[imscott72]

24-0 Panthers!!

[The Leaper]

Do the refs realize that Green Bay is wearing the dark jerseys?

[gbgary]

24-0 Panthers!!

:shock:

[The Leaper]

The Giants are who we thought they were...and the Panthers are crowning their arse.

[pbmax]

Nice slant by Branch. Bush was all over him

[gbgary]

jolly is the man today

[imscott72]

My God Jolly is a stud..

[Brohm]

Wow Jolly having a huge game today :twisted:

[The Leaper]

Jolly...please put the codeine away forever.

[pbmax]

Jolly should get a Robitussin endorsement.

[Mazzin]

Did Jolly just do the A. rodgers championship belt celebration?
REAL

[MOBB DEEP]

My God Jolly is a stud..


probowler

[pbmax]

Wow Jolly having a huge game today :twisted:
So much for the theory that DEs in a 3-4 have to simply occupy blockers. He and Jenkins have had very good years, even if their tackles are down.

[packer4life]

My God Jolly is a stud..


probowler

and here i was in the offseason whining to sign canty or olshansky...as was prob many other fellow rats.

[denverYooper]

Seattle killing us in terms of TOP, rush yards, pass yards, and penalties. Yet they're down 14-3. Crazy.

Offense needs to grind some clock here and score going into the 2nd half.

[denverYooper]

Cut it out!

[The Leaper]

TOP is overrated...the Colts are 14-0, yet typically have the ball well less than half the time.

If it was 85 degrees, I'd be worried. However, the hosses aren't likely to get worn down as much in the colder weather.

[denverYooper]

http://templeofjennifer.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/2dave_coulier.jpg

Cut.
It.
Out.

[pbmax]

Scott Wells at work again.

[The Leaper]

Rodgers needs to do that more often.

[Brohm]

Woah Grant gone :shock:

[imscott72]

GRANT TO DA HOUSE!!!

[The Leaper]

Grant is a beast...when nobody touches him.

Nice TD Ryan.

[pbmax]

Woot! Inside Zone strikes again. I take it back Wells!

[gbgary]

way to bust it ryan grant

[denverYooper]

We needed that.

GRANT!

[pbmax]

Nice stutter stepping through the line so he doesn't get tackled by the ankles. Nice work, good coach and practicing.

[The Leaper]

Keep this up...and we can rest the starters in the 4th Q.

[Brohm]

2 rushes?! :shock:

[The Leaper]

Nice stutter stepping through the line so he doesn't get tackled by the ankles. Nice work, good coach and practicing.

I dunno max...Grant does that stutter step about 100% of the time. Typically it doesn't work...this time is clearly did.

[gbgary]

Grant is a beast...when nobody touches him.

Nice TD Ryan.

please :lol:

[The Leaper]

Seahawks getting frustrated.

[imscott72]

BATMAN

[The Leaper]

Grant is tackled for a loss there.

That is why I prefer Ahman Green.

[pbmax]

I dunno max...Grant does that stutter step about 100% of the time. Typically it doesn't work...this time is clearly did.
Bad choice of words. Not a stutter step to make someone miss or change direction. Short choppy steps to give no one a target to tackle low.

[gbgary]

just heard a pad level reference.

[packer4life]

Grant is tackled for a loss there.

That is why I prefer Ahman Green.

i sadly have to agree with you there. grant not a great tackle breaker for such a big guy.

[Brohm]

Churn, spin, shoulder, stiff arm :D

[The Leaper]

I agree on that Max...it was a nice run by Grant, but one that just about any NFL back should make when there are only fingers grasping at you.

Ahman's third down run was more impressive IMO.

[pbmax]

I agree on that Max...it was a nice run by Grant, but one that just about any NFL back should make when there are only fingers grasping at you.

Ahman's third down run was more impressive IMO.
Yes, but if he performs the tasks at hand in an average fashion, it will be enough. He is usually too easily tackled by the junk in the hole.

[imscott72]

85 is a monster..

[The Leaper]

The offense is starting to get warmed up now.

[The Leaper]

At least we are on the left hash now.

[gbgary]

come oooooooon. let's get a td here.

[gbgary]

mm... :roll:

[Brohm]

Really burinng the clock here :?:

[imscott72]

dang so close..gotta take the 3 pts here..don't ya?

[gbgary]

play action roll-out pass

[denverYooper]

Yeah, kinda odd...

[imscott72]

I guess I'd rather see them give Mason some kicks..

[Brohm]

Havner but flag....

[imscott72]

Ok, so now Mason is going to get a kick after all..

[Brohm]

Damn :x FG it is

[pbmax]

Horrible call. Frankenbacker's guy tripped.

[imscott72]

Yea Mase...no prob from the left hash..

[denverYooper]

Good looking kick.

[denverYooper]

Good drive anyway to give the D a blow at the end of the half.

[Bossman641]

That didn't look like PI to me. He didn't even shove off him or anything, the guy just slipped and fell.

[Packman_26]

Why couldn't they understand that it was 3rd and goal. They ran it down to 15 secs because they only had two plays left anyway so they chose not to give Seattle the ball with any time left

[The Leaper]

Yeah...I don't see why you would want to give the ball back to Seattle with 40 seconds left.

[Fred's Slacks]

Why couldn't they understand that it was 3rd and goal. They ran it down to 15 secs because they only had two plays left anyway so they chose not to give Seattle the ball with any time left

Sounded like they thought GB had another down. They were supprissed when it was fourth down.

Yeah, I don't get it. Clock was managed beautifully at the end there.

[Bossman641]

Panthers up 31-0. Yikes

[red]

so far so good

we're winning big, and giants are losing big

[Packman_26]

But they kept talking about kicking the field goal since it was third down........

[gbgary]

i hope we go for the kill now.

[Brohm]

31-0 Panthers over Giants :shock:

[Fred's Slacks]

But they kept talking about kicking the field goal since it was third down........

Yeah, I don't know what they were talking about. Billick can have some "duh" moments in the booth. I'm guessing he had some of that on the sidelines too.

Anyway, I agree with you. It was well managed by the Pack to get a shot at the touchdown and come away with 3 and no time left.
