Official Packers-Cardinals Thread (Round 1?)

[ThunderDan]

Finley is a beast!

[Bretsky]

FINLEY= MANBEAST

[gbgary]

TD FIN!!

[pbmax]

Good grief. When was the last time, outside of Wayne Simmons and Favre's arm have the Packers had a physical mismatch every game like Finley?

[MTPackerfan]

how many yards now to the yardage record for Rodgers?

[Packers4Glory]

at least mason is drilling the xtra points right down the middle........

[Bretsky]

can we get our main dudes off the field please????

I swear McCarthy wants Rodgers to get the record...


What are the odds he's not even following that ?
I could see MM wanting to play one series out of the half and then out

That'd suck cuz he's only a few yards away

[gbgary]

26 to set the new Packers single season record!!

[Lurker64]

I think that with a five possession lead, it's time to start pulling folks.

[Bretsky]

looked good on the FG's as well

[gbgary]

he's dumb but he's not that dumb. he and tt want that record for him.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

that should be 235 for AR, where does that put him?

[Fosco33]

This game feels so surreal...

It feels like watching how well the Pack played in preseason...

[Fosco33]

that should be 235 for AR, where does that put him?

He needed 250ish.

[KYPack]

The Justin TV link blew up on me.

Anybody got one that seems to work?

[gbgary]

that should be 235 for AR, where does that put him?

25 to tie 26 to break

[Badgerinmaine]

I think that with a five possession lead, it's time to start pulling folks.
Works for me.

[Bretsky]

I think that with a five possession lead, it's time to start pulling folks.


OK; even with my Spurrier like attitude, it may be time to slowly pull the troops back. Although........I'd love to get the record for him first

[ND72]

that should be 235 for AR, where does that put him?

He needed 250ish.

He needed 259 to tie coming into the game, 260 to break it.

[pbmax]

Pull him. Give him something to shoot for next year.

[gbgary]

that should be 235 for AR, where does that put him?

259?? cool...then 25 needed.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

One more throwing drive for AR then just line up in the victory formation every play.

[Carolina_Packer]

The Justin TV link blew up on me.

Anybody got one that seems to work?

http://www.rojadirecta.com/vexcast/625 here you are KY

[Fosco33]

Love that Leinart is getting hit on almost every play. If he has to play next week, he'll remember this one...

[Fosco33]

make up call? for the helmet...

[gbgary]

Love that Leinart is getting hit on almost every play. If he has to play next week, he'll remember this one...

all the cards will remember this one. one and done for the cards!!

[TennesseePackerBacker]

This has to give the Packers tremendous confidence for next week. This game has been impressive on many levels.

[KYPack]

The Justin TV link blew up on me.

Thanks, bro.

4th link was a charm

[gbgary]

great tackle by bell. that play looked like it was going somewhere.

[KYPack]

Did Wood's injury look bad?

Will he play next week?

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Matthews has eaten Bridges lunch all day long. I don't see how the Cardinals will even keep Warner up-right next week.

[gbgary]

Did Wood's injury look bad?

Will he play next week?

no and don't know.

[Bretsky]

nice hit; Hightower limps off

Got a feeling we're going to see Matt Flynn to Win now

[pbmax]

Did Wood's injury look bad?

Will he play next week?
I think so. Its not going to be healthy, but he'll play.

[gbgary]

nice hit; Hightower limps off

Got a feeling we're going to see Matt Flynn to Win now

one more series for AR to get the record. it's only 25 yards.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Lol, the Cardinals have a guy trying to set records too, their punter.

[pbmax]

In with Flynn.

[Bretsky]

nice hit; Hightower limps off

Got a feeling we're going to see Matt Flynn to Win now

one more series for AR to get the record. it's only 25 yards.


Sorry; but Lynnn's record stands

[gbgary]

crap. mm...that's rediculous!

[pbmax]

Cliffy is on the sideline.

[pbmax]

Barbre in for Tauscher. Means Lang is in for Clifton.

[Brando19]

Lol, the Cardinals have a guy trying to set records too, their punter.

I don't think that's worth a LOL. Can you imagine having a punter that good? The Packers would probably have a freakin' bye this year.

[pbmax]

Evan Dietrich-Smith in for Wells I think. With the false start.

[MadScientist]

nice hit; Hightower limps off

Got a feeling we're going to see Matt Flynn to Win now

one more series for AR to get the record. it's only 25 yards.

Sorry; but Lynnn's record stands
But AR got enough yards on the last series to pass BF's best year.

Plus he is the first since Starr to finish with a >100 rating for the season. Not bad.

[KYPack]

Barbre has to be happy that he was finally active this game.

[Bossman641]

I love CM3. He just ran Wells over

[MJZiggy]

Lol, the Cardinals have a guy trying to set records too, their punter.

I don't think that's worth a LOL. Can you imagine having a punter that good? The Packers would probably have a freakin' bye this year.

They have a great punter, but you have to have the coverage as well.

[Bretsky]

so what's the lowdown ? Is the seeding as follows

1. NO
2. MN
3. DAL
4. AZ
5. GB
6. PHILY


IF Dallas wins they'd play at MN right ?

What if Phily beats Dallas next week ? Do they then play NO and we get the Vikes ???

[Kiwon]

INT!

[MJZiggy]

and there's your record...

[Lurker64]

That's the team record right there, isn't it?

[gbgary]

i hear ya but still...http://www.talonclub.com/forum/images/smilies/mad.gif

[pbmax]

That's the team record right there, isn't it?
By two so far. I think.

[Bretsky]

ALL TIP YOUR GLASS IN A TOAST TO THE DOMINATOR


:knll: :knll:



I'd love to see MM make him the assistant head coach so a head coach can't come try to steal him away

[Jimx29]

How many games in the season were there in 61, 62, and 65?

[Carolina_Packer]

so what's the lowdown ? Is the seeding as follows

1. NO
2. MN
3. DAL
4. AZ
5. GB
6. PHILY


IF Dallas wins they'd play at MN right ?

What if Phily beats Dallas next week ? Do they then play NO and we get the Vikes ???

No, I think 1 and 2 get byes, so it would be two rematches of this week's games; Phil vs. Dal and GB vs. AZ...someone weigh in definitively

[Bretsky]

would be nice to see Crosby nail another FG down the middle

[gbgary]

How many games in the season were there in 61, 62, and 65?

12 and then 14 at or near the merger.

[pbmax]

I don't think Asst. Head Coach can prevent an interview.

Quinn J missed a block on Ahman's last run.

[Lurker64]

And there goes the record...

[Bretsky]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[KYPack]

How many games in the season were there in 61, 62, and 65?

14, Numby

[Bossman641]

Damnit

[Lurker64]

How do you call a low block on the passing team after an interception? Isn't that called a "tackle" or alternatively a "hold"?

[Bretsky]

I don't think Asst. Head Coach can prevent an interview.

Quinn J missed a block on Ahman's last run.


Not for a head coach
But they can rightly turn down an interview for him to be DC/Asst Head Coach

Think Bill Cowher might come calling if he takes a job ?

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Well we had the record.

[pbmax]

How do you call a low block on the passing team after an interception? Isn't that called a "tackle" or alternatively a "hold"?
Newer interpretation of the rule. Nonsensical in a case like this.

[gbgary]

How many games in the season were there in 61, 62, and 65?

14, Numby

yup, you're right...

1935-1936 12 games
1937-1942 11 games
1943-1945 10 games
1946 11 games
1947-1960 12 games
1961-1977 14 games
1978-1981 16 games

[gbgary]

looks like philly coming to dallas. :roll:

[Fosco33]

You're right - rematch week.

Lowest seed would then play NO (so yeah, if Dallas wins - they play MN).

If Eagles and Packers both win, then the Pack would play MN and Iggles-NO.

[Bretsky]

If we eliminate AZ can we kidnap their cheerleaders for the playoff run ??

[KYPack]

How many games in the season were there in 61, 62, and 65?

12 and then 14 at or near the merger.

No.

14 STARTED IN '61

16 STARTED IN '78

[Carolina_Packer]

If we eliminate AZ can we kidnap their cheerleaders for the playoff run ??

No way, man! I'll take the bikini girls anyday!

[Fosco33]

AG padding his all-time packer stats....

anyone think he has a shot at the roster next year?

[gbgary]

No.

14 STARTED IN '61

16 STARTED IN '78

right! i gave you props for being right on the previous page. :D

[gbgary]

AG padding his all-time packer stats....

i'll bet he doesn't even try. he'll retire as a Packer in the off-season.

[Bretsky]

If the guy plays for the minimum bring him in. I do think he can still play but not much mileage left. He loves WI so guys like him and Taucher are few and far between.

[Bretsky]

IF DALLAS AND GB WIN NEXT WEEK WHO DO THE PACKERS PLAY ???

[KYPack]

How many games in the season were there in 61, 62, and 65?

No.

14 STARTED IN '61

What can I say, GBG?
I'm in that famous Kentucky time warp.

[Carolina_Packer]

I don't know; unless they have the opportunity to draft a great depth back, ala CJ Spiller (not saying that's likely, but if) then Green would likely not stick around for the roster spot, although I'd like to see them decide between Kuhn and Hall for FB. Put it this way, I'd take Green for one more year over DWynn

[gbgary]

IF DALLAS AND GB WIN NEXT WEEK WHO DO THE PACKERS PLAY ???

we play minn if that happens.

[KYPack]

IF DALLAS AND GB WIN NEXT WEEK WHO DO THE PACKERS PLAY ???

We play the Cards in AZ.

Philly plays the cowpukes in big D.

[Bretsky]

IF DALLAS AND GB WIN NEXT WEEK WHO DO THE PACKERS PLAY ???

confused

wouldn't the 3 seed play the 2 seed ?

[Fosco33]

IF DALLAS AND GB WIN NEXT WEEK WHO DO THE PACKERS PLAY ???

we play minn if that happens.

No, we'd be lowest seed and play NO.

If you want the Vikes, cheer for the Eagles. As a 6 seed, they'd play NO.

[Rastak]

IF DALLAS AND GB WIN NEXT WEEK WHO DO THE PACKERS PLAY ???

we play minn if that happens.


No, you'd play the Saints.

[Bretsky]

I was talking about week after next if GB and DAL won

NA; Eagles are going to win next week

We're not going to do your dirty work for ya; one of us can do that after we beat each other up

[Lurker64]

It's an interesting situation, assuming Green Bay wins next week both divisional round matchups will feature a team that is comparatively hot (Green Bay wins 8 of the last 9; Philadelphia wins 7 of the last 8, or Dallas wins four in a row) visiting a team coming off a bye who is, to be generous, not hot (New Orleans with 3 losses in a row to end the season, and Minnesota losing 3 of 5 to end the season).

I suppose this is another test of "which is better come playoff times: to be good and at home or hot and on the road".

However, if Arizona wins we won't get this interesting storyline, so lets beat Arizona three times this year.

[RashanGary]

Exciting season. We look to be relatively healthy. Clifton and Tausher will sell out their bodies to play good in these playoff games. If our defense can find a way to hold up against the potent passing attacks, who knows? We have a chance. We're relatively healthy.

How is Chuck doing with shoulder injury from todays game?

[Jimx29]

Everyone is 0-0 now.

Let the 2nd season begin

[RashanGary]

How is Chuck doing with shoulder injury from todays game?

McCarthy said they came out relatively healthy (I'm assuming if he thought Woodson was out, he wouldn't say that). I think Woodson is OK. I'm sure it bothers him a little, but it's a shoulder, not a leg, so I think he'll be ready.

[OkayKyle]

According to Tom Pelissero via Twitter:

'Packers CB Charles Woodson's shoulder injury categorized as a jam. He told Rob Demovsky he could have gone back in if needed.'

[Packman_26]

Glazier said on Fox that Woodson will play this week.

[swede]

nice run by Grant; his style kind of reminds ya of Eddie George

Except that Grant almost always goes down on first contact...while George routinely carried people 5 yards.

:lol:

I'm just reading the game thread now.

As I was watching the game I had the same thought about Grant and Eddie. I think it might have been because they mentioned that he is 6'2" and 225, a big tall back just like Eddie was.

Then, as I thought about it I recalled that Eddie was way more of a punishing back; he often broke into the second level after delivering a big blow to one or more linebackers head on.

I thought of Terrel Davis, but Terrel tended to hit the hole and cut back in.

Grant, time after time cuts into a little opening and kind of shoots out and up. His great runs look very much alike. He has a great feel for when to hit the gas, Today he even turned the corner a time or two and looked really fast.

Nice.

[mission]

Didnt Grant need 48 yards or something to reach 1250 yds and the 1.5 mil performance bonus?

Looks like he got it by a few yards. Nice to see MM push it to make sure. He deserves that nice little cookie.
