Week 3: 2010: Official Packers -v- Bears Game Thread

[mmmdk]

If Finley doesn't get 10+ reception today...we lose :shock:

[red]

Can we atleast give B Jackson a chance with some carries.

we're trying to be a power running team with no fullback blocking a tiny center and an average at best LG

great play by rodgers

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Tausch and Cliffton both get beat on that play. Not good.

[pbmax]

Tauscher he sucks! Get it together!

[ThunderDan]

How is that not 15 on Peppers! Bullshit!! It's OK to jump on Rodgers head!

[gbgary]

YOTTO

[Brandon494]

Who was worried about the pass rush again? :lol:
I'm here. And I still say the Bear's O line doesn't count. But I am not as worried as I was.

Yea I was just joking, we looked good against the Bears last season also and we all know how that turned out when we went against good passing teams.

[red]

If Finley doesn't get 10+ reception today...we lose :shock:

if he doesn't get 10+ receptions tonight then someone should be fired

[Brandon494]

Aaron Vick? :shock:

[pbmax]

Pretty good feet Aaron.

[mmmdk]

RODGERS

[red]

rodgers running for his life, colledge just sitting on his ass watching

[imscott72]

How Aaron got out of that I have no idea..

[gbgary]

driver wide open on that scramble

[Guiness]

Pretty good feet Aaron.

that play was hilarious


colledge just sitting on his ass watching

wasn't that him sitting on his ass on a Bear?

[mmmdk]

If Finley doesn't get 10+ reception today...we lose :shock:

if he doesn't get 10+ receptions tonight then someone should be fired

I said this 'cos we can't run.

3 catches for Fin now :D

[red]

driver wide open on that scramble

i'll forgive rodgers for not being able to find him. he kind of had his hands full

[DannoMac21]

We need a running back. God damn.

[PackerTimer]

That time there was nowhere to go. Colledge got beat.

[Brandon494]

seriously? Do we have to make it so obvious when we are going to run.

[Carolina_Packer]

May be before your time, but Kuhn is reminding me of another Packer running back of old...

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3557/3288707221_6e9aea7c0a_o.jpg

Big Barty Smith!

[red]

and another rush for nothing.

why do that when rodgers is slicing the bears up?

[Guiness]

gf is making some nacho slider burgers. Life is good.

[mmmdk]

DD is fearless

[imscott72]

Driver converts.. STUD

[gbgary]

driver wide open on that scramble

i'll forgive rodgers for not being able to find him. he kind of had his hands fulli hear ya. he was ten yards beyond kuhn

[red]

that dumb stupid mother fucker

can he do anything right?

[Brandon494]

Thats how we have to use Jackson!

Sucks about the hold but if we can't get this running game going just dump it off and run screens with Jackson.

[PackerTimer]

Dammit Colledge. That's two bad plays on this drive.

That's how they need to get the ball to Jackson.

[mmmdk]

Holding :evil:

[pbmax]

Colledge c'mon.

Bear's #38 hit Driver by leading with the top of his helmet. Should have been called.

[Brandon494]

woooo that was close to being picked :shock:

[red]

Thats how we have to use Jackson!

Sucks about the hold but if we can't get this running game going just dump it off and run screens with Jackson.
yup, just like the early holmgren years. use the short dump offs to the rb instead of the run

[mmmdk]

Throw to Finley...Finley!!!

[gbgary]

chip shot fg coming

[mmmdk]

Throw to Finley...Finley!!!

That was Kuhn damnit :lol:

[imscott72]

MASE IS $$$$$

[PackerTimer]

Crosby. Nice.

[pbmax]

Right down the center Mason.

[Guiness]

Nice screen to Kuhn to make the FG a chip shot.

To O possessions, two scores.

No one answered earlier...are all 4 TE's dressed?

[pbmax]

Clifton is really struggling with Peppers.

[ThunderDan]

Clifton is really struggling with Peppers.

Left side of line is bending pretty far.

[Carolina_Packer]

Does anyone know if that new RB Dmitri is dressed out tonight?

[pbmax]

Nice screen to Kuhn to make the FG a chip shot.

To O possessions, two scores.

No one answered earlier...are all 4 TE's dressed?

Yes.

No Neal. Would have liked to have him esp. since Pickett has the hamstring issue.


The Packers' inactives are linebacker Brad Jones, offensive tackle T.J. Lang, cornerback Pat Lee, guard Nick McDonald, running back Dimitri Nance, defensive end Mike Neal, offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse and defensive back Charlie Peprah.

[Lurker64]

Does anyone know if that new RB Dmitri is dressed out tonight?

Nope.

[Brandon494]

Yes all TEs are active and no Nance did not dress.

[red]

Nice screen to Kuhn to make the FG a chip shot.

To O possessions, two scores.

No one answered earlier...are all 4 TE's dressed?

they just said all 4 were dressed

[Joemailman]

Clifton is really struggling with Peppers.

That last play didn't look good. Bulaga might get in tonight too.

[imscott72]

Crosby not nice...GRRRR

[gbgary]

Clifton is really struggling with Peppers.everyone does

[ThunderDan]

That's twice this season that Crosby has kicked it out of bounds.

[pbmax]

What the hell happened to special teams? Another KO out of bounds
?

[mmmdk]

Right down the center Mason.

Crosby looking ok - compared to Hartley & Janikowski yesterday - then it's an awesome kick.

[pbmax]

Clifton is really struggling with Peppers.everyone does
McGinn said he has palyed the packers seven times and had 2 sacks versus Clifton.

[red]

time for more defensive fun with jay cutler

[Carolina_Packer]

Yes all TEs are active and no Nance did not dress.

Geez, what's our depth there then if Bjack or Kuhn get dinged tonight?

[mmmdk]

It's Crosby; the good with the bad.

[PackerTimer]

Nice play by Matthews.

[red]

wow, freaking mathews

[mmmdk]

Zombo the pro bowler :P

[gbgary]

mr mathews in bears huddle

[Guiness]

Crosby not nice...GRRRR

What happened? Missed the play, but I see the Bears starting at the 40.

[Carolina_Packer]

http://phillips.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/224capers.jpg

[red]

cutler is officially flustered

[Brandon494]

Cutler is such a punk, I use to like him in Denver but now I can't stand the guy.

[imscott72]

Mike's getting a little pissed at ST's me thinks..

[Guiness]

Zombo the pro bowler :P

Hearing his name alot. In the good way, like 'Zombo in the Bears backfield' :D

[red]

Crosby not nice...GRRRR

What happened? Missed the play, but I see the Bears starting at the 40.

crosby kicked it out of bounds

[mmmdk]

http://phillips.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/224capers.jpg

YES! I'm hungry too!!

[PackerTimer]

Damnit. That was a nice return too.

[Carolina_Packer]

Cutler is such a punk, I use to like him in Denver but now I can't stand the guy.

Do you believe that bad body language gets in your head?

[pbmax]

That penalty might have been caused by Williams and that move he made changing directions. Still not a good night for ST.

[Brando19]

Cutler is such a punk, I use to like him in Denver but now I can't stand the guy.

It's a rule...you can't like another QB in the division. 8-)

[red]

Cutler is such a punk, I use to like him in Denver but now I can't stand the guy.

navy blue tends to do that

[mmmdk]

Zombo the pro bowler :P

Hearing his name alot. In the good way, like 'Zombo in the Bears backfield' :D

All Zombo...and that "guy" Clay :lol:

[Brandon494]

Cutler is such a punk, I use to like him in Denver but now I can't stand the guy.

It's a rule...you can't like another QB in the division. 8-)

I like Stafford :lol:

[gbgary]

Cutler is such a punk.you got that right.

[PackerTimer]

Cutler is such a punk, I use to like him in Denver but now I can't stand the guy.

Same here. He's such a whiney biotch.

[digitaldean]

Special ed teams strike again. Can't get a decent return or kick return stop without a stupid penalty.

[red]

screw breet favre

[gbgary]

brett who

[red]

throw the damn flag

[digitaldean]

Favre gets beat down any more like yesterday even he won't make it through the season.

[imscott72]

Wow that was a bomb..

[mmmdk]

Cutler is such a punk, I use to like him in Denver but now I can't stand the guy.

It's a rule...you can't like another QB in the division. 8-)

I just dislike all animal related teams...Bears, Ponies, all bird teams and...wait...I like Dolphins :shock: The Mammel that is!

[Carolina_Packer]

brett who

pretty sure he said Bert

[pbmax]

Jackson is completely different with a pass. Odd.

[gbgary]

thats it brandon...straight ahead

[pbmax]

That was a nice run by Brandon.

[ThunderDan]

If Hall makes the block on Ulracher that is a nice positive run.

[digitaldean]

BJack reminds me of Ronnie Harmon, who played for SD a couple of decades ago.

So-so at best as a pure RB, but very good as a pass catcher or 3rd down type of RB.

[pbmax]

Sitton is gimpy and Tauscher got beat inside again.

[imscott72]

Friggin Tausch!!

[PackerTimer]

Tausch is not looking good this year.

[pbmax]

Wasted TO again.

[digitaldean]

Somehow, Lang may have to be installed next week if Tausch keeps getting knocked around like this.

[gbgary]

Favre gets beat down any more like yesterday even he won't make it through the season.oh...he will get beat down some more...much more.

[Brandon494]

Great effort Finley even though we didnt get it.

[imscott72]

Bulaga in for Cliffy..

[mmmdk]

Great effort Finley even though we didnt get it.

Finley said we did...what's with that? :lol: He's confident alright.

[gbgary]

Great effort Finley even though we didnt get it.yotto

[Carolina_Packer]

Favre gets beat down any more like yesterday even he won't make it through the season.oh...he will get beat down some more...much more.

If they are smart, they will use AP more, like they did yesterday. You don't have the timing and weapons lined up in MN, why wouldn't you use AP? That said, feel free to suck, Minnie.

[imscott72]

Somehow, Lang may have to be installed next week if Tausch keeps getting knocked around like this.

Looks like Cliffy and Tausch might be going down hill fast at the same time..

[Brandon494]

Wasted TO again.

I don't know...

The 1st TO was used in the redzone and we got a TD on the first play coming out so can't really say it was wasted.

Our 2nd TO was used on a important 3rd down.

[imscott72]

ST's is fucking killing us!!

[pbmax]

If Thompson doesn't draft a punter this year I am going to try out.

[Brandon494]

Wow Hester got caught by the punter haha

[gbgary]

mm up his ass

[gbgary]

come on Packer D

[imscott72]

Good job Woody...

[red]

what a fucking waste

we dominated the whole first half and we're only going to be up i score at halftime

[Guiness]

EXTRA ST's is fucking killing us!!

fixed

[Packers4Glory]

stupid fucking punter. are we trying to give this game away?

this should be a blowout and yet here we are going to be up 1 score at the half.

[imscott72]

UGHHHH

[gbgary]

dammit

[MadScientist]

Ok Jordy, make up for all the crappy ST this half by running one back.

[Packers4Glory]

nice momentum change at the half.

awesome. penalties and stupid punter.

[red]

special teams kept them right in the game. the way rodgers has been playing this should be over by now

[gbgary]

bears got lucky

[Carolina_Packer]

stupid fucking punter. are we trying to give this game away?

this should be a blowout and yet here we are going to be up 1 score at the half.

TT gets a lot right, but letting the punting situation languish like it has the last few years is really dumb. It's almost like he discounts the position. I know most of the development guys are on ST, but find someone who can get the message through to those guys.

[red]

come on, a fg here would be nice

[Brandon494]

Ok Rodgers lets get into FG range here.

[Jimx29]

glad to see MM has his deer in the headlights daze going on.....


good thing he'll adjust at the half..... :roll:

[imscott72]

friggin ST's better get their asses ripped at halftime..

[gbgary]

why have him roll to the left

[red]

COME ON 68 yard fg attempt

[Packers4Glory]

stupid fucking punter. are we trying to give this game away?

this should be a blowout and yet here we are going to be up 1 score at the half.

ST is how the bears beat the Lions. The Lions spent entire game basically starting inside the 10.

[mmmdk]

glad to see MM has his deer in the headlights daze going on.....


good thing he'll adjust at the half..... :roll:

..that's bear in headlights. :lol:

First O drive gets 2 OBVIOUS runs.

[red]

christ was that clifton or bulaga that just got smoked off the snap?

[digitaldean]

hail mary time again.

Between the dumb penalites and botched ko's/punts the ST doesn't look much better than 2009. Only improvement is Jordy. Crosby can kick the FG's but he's had at least 2 KO's OB thus far.

[imscott72]

Hate to see Arod get a pick like that..

[imscott72]

christ was that clifton or bulaga that just got smoked off the snap?

Clifton was back in..

[Brandon494]

COME ON 68 yard fg attempt

I tried that in Madden the other day with Crosby and came up a few yards short.

[mmmdk]

Nice HM! Really!

[red]

lets see this story three of four more fucking times

this is the third time i've seen it

[mmmdk]

Packers > Bears but Pack f@cked up collectively.

Packers beat Bears twice last season by playing sloppy...sounds like a plan and a win :wink:

[mr_blonde]

This team will probably win a lot of games but it's not going to the Super Bowl with ONE MEDIOCRE running back on the roster and the type of special teams play it's demonstrating tonight .... too bad, a real waste ...

[gbgary]

lets see this story three of four more fucking times

this is the third time i've seen it1st for me.

[mmmdk]

lets see this story three of four more fucking times

this is the third time i've seen it1st for me.

Went to pee...what story?

[red]

lets see this story three of four more fucking times

this is the third time i've seen it1st for me.

Went to pee...what story?

the make a wish girl story that they also showed in the pregame right before kickoff and also a few weeks ago during a packer game

espn sucks

[gbgary]

This team will probably win a lot of games but it's not going to the Super Bowl with ONE MEDIOCRE running back on the roster and the type of special teams play it's demonstrating tonight .... too bad, a real waste ...its a quarter of play. no need to over react. the first two games it was fine. running game will get better. theres still time for tt to make a move.

[mmmdk]

Start 2nd half with TD drive or bust!
Throw to Finley or bust!
Protect AR or bust.

[red]

need a td on this drive

[gbgary]

time to get that ts back

[imscott72]

How do you get an illegal formation fucking penalty? How many times do they practice that play? COME ON

[digitaldean]

Not a great way to start the first series of the half. ANother penalty.

[Packers4Glory]

i'm sick of those penalties by Clifton. I've seen too many. get on the line fucker.

[pbmax]

Clifton. You are too old not to realize how to line up.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Can't let Chicago get the momentum. We've been better than 3 points tonight.

[red]

why is our pass catching TE blocking peppers 1 on 1?

or at least trying to block him

[imscott72]

Finley!! And he just laid somebody out too..

[mmmdk]

1st and 15 better than 1st and 10...'cos then we DON'T run.

Nice catch Fin!

[Packers4Glory]

Clifton. You are too old not to realize how to line up.

He had more than 1 of those last season.

[red]

Can't let Chicago get the momentum. We've been better than 3 points tonight.

we've been a lot better then 3 points

[Brandon494]

Finley has some of the best hands Ive seen in awhile.

I seriously can't remember the last time Ive seen the guy drop a ball he got his hands on.

[imscott72]

Best run of the night..no flag either..Amazing..

[Brandon494]

nice run by Brandon Jennings! HAHAHA

[mmmdk]

Can't let Chicago get the momentum. We've been better than 3 points tonight.

we've been a lot better then 3 points

...just like 2007 MNF game?

:pack: NO SIR!....PLEASE

[pbmax]

McCarthy sticking with run. Good. Game too close to abandon it.

[red]

omg b-jack just had a positive run

[red]

LOL

heads up by kuhn

[mmmdk]

KUHN

[digitaldean]

Holy crap! Kuhn for 15?! :shock:

[TennesseePackerBacker]

Haha, great acting job by Kuhn.

[imscott72]

haha Briggs fakes an injury so they can look at the replay..

[Jimx29]

Nice hustle...even though it probably will fail

[mmmdk]

Damn...Kuhn was down. Nice though.

[red]

question is was kuhn ever touched?

[pbmax]

Clifton. You are too old not to realize how to line up.

He had more than 1 of those last season.
Its because he is old and sits upright in his 2 point stance. The Line Judge looks for helmet position compared to the LOS. Clifton sits farther back. So his helmet is illegal formation, but his feet are not. But he knows this and should adjust if the Line Judge is going to call it close.

[HowardRoark]

question is was kuhn ever touched?

It looked like a Packer brought him down.

[TennesseePackerBacker]

question is was kuhn ever touched?

He touched a Bears player before going to the ground.

[mmmdk]

question is was kuhn ever touched?

...by god? :lol:

[pbmax]

Nice hustle...even though it probably will fail
Cheer up Eeyore!

[mmmdk]

question is was kuhn ever touched?

He touched a Bears player before going to the ground.

You don't "touch" Bears players...you punch'em!

[mmmdk]

BIG PLAY

[imscott72]

Donald!! Big conversion..

[red]

nice conversion

[AtlPackFan]

Nice hustle...even though it probably will fail
Cheer up Eeyore!
I'm Eeyore. :-)

[mmmdk]

JJ is a poor mans Sharpe.

[gbgary]

time to go to jennings

[Brandon494]

Keep dumping it off to Jackson

[pbmax]

Love this passing game plan.

[Guiness]

Nice play to move the chains.

[imscott72]

Hate seeing Aaron dive forward like that..

[pbmax]

Another holding call near the endzone. Dammit.

[mmmdk]

Another holding :x

[imscott72]

Wow, Peppers hurt and out right now..

[digitaldean]

Another stinking penalty.

If we don't shoot ourselves in the foot so much, we'd be blowing these goofs out right now.

[mmmdk]

8 penalties? Already!

[red]

with as hot as rodgers is tonight we should have more then 10 points

i can't help but think our own play calling is keeping this game close

[gbgary]

peppers done for the night

[mmmdk]

with as hot as rodgers is tonight we should have more then 10 points

i can't help but think our own play calling is keeping this game close

Spot on!

[digitaldean]

peppers done for the night

That's a help for us....

[Brandon494]

Come on WTF~!

[pbmax]

Dammit Tauscher!

[red]

fucking hold

and he didn't have to

[imscott72]

Dammit Tauscher!! :x :x

[Brandon494]

peppers done for the night

That's a help for us....

You sure about that

[mmmdk]

peppers done for the night

That's a help for us....

9th penalty...we're killing ourselves.

[digitaldean]

Like I said, we'll give this game away if we don't stop these idiotic self-inflicted issues.

Now we have to settle for a stinking FG...

[PackerTimer]

Frickin penalties.

[red]

play for another FG

god damnit M3 get your fucking team straight

[imscott72]

We might see Tausch and Cliffy getting replaced next week..They're both having major issues..

[ThunderDan]

9/9 on the drive and we can't score a TD. Tausch is looking old!

[pbmax]

Unbelievable.

[imscott72]

SHIT

[PackerTimer]

Well that sucks.

[red]

jesus fucking christ

[Brandon494]

peppers done for the night

No more talking for you :evil:

[Packers4Glory]

these are the packers i know. shitty special teams and a shit ton of penalties.

road map to a loss.

[PackerTimer]

Both offensive tackles are falling apart. That is not good.

[red]

9/9 on the drive and we can't score a TD. Tausch is looking old!

exactly, we're playing pussy ball

[digitaldean]

Like I said, we'll give this game away if we don't stop these idiotic self-inflicted issues.

Now we have to settle for a stinking FG...

Then again..... :x :x :x

Now we need the D to stop this momentum swing. Have the ball for over half the friggin' quarter and get NOTHING.

[gbgary]

damm...couldnt put weight on his leg and hes back reeking havoc

[ThunderDan]

Another Bears/Packer game where we out play them and shoot ourselves over and over and keep them in the game.

[mmmdk]

I'm shocked and down :cry:

[Brandon494]

Peppers makes a lot of tackles look old...

With that being said time for Matthews to step up

[ThunderDan]

9/9 on the drive and we can't score a TD. Tausch is looking old!

exactly, we're playing pussy ball

I liked the play calling it;s the damn penalties!

[imscott72]

Shawn Slocum's ST's are costing us this game right now..That and our f'ing tackles..

[pbmax]

Sitton got blown up and put up no resistance. On the FG

[AtlPackFan]

We might see Tausch and Cliffy getting replaced next week..They're both having major issues..

Replace Taush with who???

[red]

we're done

[gbgary]

come on d

[Brandon494]

Aight Shields they picking on you, time to make a play

[Packers4Glory]

these are the packers i know. shitty special teams and a shit ton of penalties.

road map to a loss. :!:

[mmmdk]

9/9 on the drive and we can't score a TD. Tausch is looking old!

exactly, we're playing pussy ball

I liked the play calling it;s the damn penalties!

McCarthy played it well but as HC he's still responsible for penalties galore.

[Jimx29]

tick....tick....tick.....

[pbmax]

Everyone calm down. Not over yet.

[mmmdk]

Bears O are obviously figuring things out. F@ck!

[pbmax]

Not enough pressure on seven step drop.

[gbgary]

come on d

[mmmdk]

4th down...I'd go for it!

[Brandon494]

haha if Sitton makes this stop

[pbmax]

I think that was a TD

[Guiness]

I think that was a TD

He was down. Was he touched?

[red]

Not enough pressure on seven step drop.

we stopped sending the heat

it worked in the first half, so lets give up on it in the second

[MadScientist]

Bad challenge. They will loose, so they will not get another challenge, even though they won the first one.

[gbgary]

COME ON PACKER D!

[imscott72]

We might see Tausch and Cliffy getting replaced next week..They're both having major issues..

Replace Taush with who???

Lang can play tackle can't he?

[pbmax]

I think that was a TD

He was down. Was he touched?
Woodson's leg came over him but contact wasn't made right away. I think he backed over before Woodson touched him. But the angle they showed didn't show the angle well.

[red]

We might see Tausch and Cliffy getting replaced next week..They're both having major issues..

Replace Taush with who???

Lang can play tackle can't he?

he sure did last year, and looked pretty good

[pbmax]

Not enough pressure on seven step drop.

we stopped sending the heat

it worked in the first half, so lets give up on it in the second
We blitzed on Knox's long reception over the middle.

[pbmax]

Williams touched him down with a thumb,

[Brandon494]

HAHAHAHA DROPPED IT!

[red]

WOW

lucky break

[imscott72]

What a stupid decision by Lovie..How do you now tie the game??

[MadScientist]

Choke :lol:

[gbgary]

woohoo

[ThunderDan]

99 TD drive. Let's go no holding boys!

[pbmax]

Only Cutler and the Bears could do that. Take seven points, not get three and come away with zero inside the one.
