Official Packers vs Lions Game Day thread

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

I know people say start the game day thread on game day (don’t know if it is because of luck or something), but I believe we are about to go on a long winning streak and I wanted to be the one to start it this time.

Packers rebound!

[Tarlam!]

WOOOT!!!!

Nothing wrong with starting it the day before. You forgot the "Official" in the thread title though. :wink:

[gbgary]

as i mentioned earlier this week...this is our first must-win game of the season.

Packers nickel back Sam Shields (calf), ruled out for Week 4, is expected to return Week 5 against the Redskins.

Packers LB Brandon Chillar has been ruled out for Week 4 against Detroit.

Chillar typically serves as Green Bay's nickel linebacker, but AJ Hawk, the starting LILB in base packages, will get a chance to prove he's a three-down linebacker after losing nickel duties earlier in the season. Desmond Bishop could replace Hawk on third downs if the former Buckeye is not effective.

[MJZiggy]

Ahhhh game day! A chill in the air, the anticipation...I only wish my sweetie were here today. I hope he didn't tell me he was going to try to go to the Ravens game today. That would be a very bad idea.

[CaptainKickass]

obligatory game day post

[pbmax]

If Desmond Bishop replaces Hawk on passing downs (and plays coverage) for any reason other than death or dismemberment, I will eat my hat, then go to Green Bay and try out for ILB.

LOL, no doubt

this game should be a cake walk, if it's anything but that i'll be upset

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Game day people! Can't see the packers losing this game.......Home sweet home!

Go pack!

[digitaldean]

very simple....

If we play like we did on MNF, we lose. If we don't (especially with Stafford out and Best on a gimpy foot), we win.

The one concern is the front 3 for Detroit. Corey Williams, Vanden Bosch and Suh are getting pressure on the passer. If we can pass protect OK, their secondary can be exploited deep.

Here's my question re: our D-Line... when the heck will Neal be back. The depth at D-Line is paper thin with him being out.

[pbmax]

Now I remember what we are doing wrong:

For good luck, 2010 version:

I don't think it's a cake walk. The Kitties have been in every game so far this year. They'll hang around, but we should win by 10ish..

From PFT:

Meanwhile, Green Bay has deactivated the following players:

OL Nick McDonald
S Charlie Peprah
CB Sam Shields
LB Brandon Chillar
OL T.J. Lang
OL Marshall Newhouse
DE Jarius Wynn
FB Quinn Johnson

Lang inactive seems odd. Who is the backup RT?

And Peprah, Chillar and Shields inactive means Special Teams gets shuffled again.

On the plus side, Neal is back and the new RB Nance is active.

Not excited about either the Lang or Johnson inactives. We should be doing a lot of running today and we all know how Tausch is run blocking these days..

I am pretty sure Lang has been inactive every game this year so far. Even last week when Clifton and Colledge had been hurt all week. MM never seems to want more than 7 OL active for a game, even when some are nursing injuries.

If Tauscher went down, would they go to Bulaga? Or maybe Colledge with Bulaga/Spitz at LG?

[Patler]

Bush is the nickle back today..Yay.. :roll:

Doesn't say much for Underwood, does it?

I thought they usually kept eight active? But if its seven, then Bulaga is backup RT, LG and LT and Spitz gets C and RG. I fear that Tauscher should be on his way out and there isn't anyone they are comfortable with behind him.

[pbmax]

Zombo starting.

[pbmax]

Jennings, Kuhn and Matthews are captains.

[pbmax]

Mike Carey is the ref. I think we will be OK.

[Fosco33]

Let's go Pack... nothing like the Lions to help after a loss.

[Jimx29]

did i just hear the dimwit announcer say welcome to Detroits lambeau field?

[Fosco33]

Like that start - stupid penalty by the Lions.

Can we just make sure the Pack gets less than 3 offensive and 3 defensive holding/PI calls?

[pbmax]

did i just hear the dimwit announcer say welcome to Detroits lambeau field?
Its all the same in flyover country!

[Fosco33]

did i just hear the dimwit announcer say welcome to Detroits lambeau field?

Didn't hear that - heard 'historic' lambeau field

[pbmax]

Holy Driver!

[imscott72]

DRIVER!! BOOM!

[Jimx29]

schweeeeet DD!

[Fosco33]

WOW - great toss and just snuck that in there...

[pbmax]

Wind is blowing endzone camera something fierce.

[gbgary]

DD!

[Fosco33]

Odds that Frankenbacker makes a few plays today?

[Tarlam!]

Thjat's what you call a fast start!

[pbmax]

Look. When ST play well. You don't have the penalty, its easy to score.

[pbmax]

Raji with coverage sack.

[imscott72]

Raji!!!!!

[Fosco33]

Coveage sack?

[pbmax]

Nice gain, but at least the D recognized it. Wood a little late getting outside.

[Fosco33]

Burned on the blitz

[pbmax]

Coveage sack?
Yeah, he was supposed to throw on fifth step but receiver never came open in middle of field.

[gbgary]

come on D! tighten it up.

[pbmax]

Sam Shields calf injury on Wednesday.

[Fosco33]

Why do they insist on calling it a major facemask? As there's no distinction - just call it a facemask.

Imagine - major offsides, major holding, major pass interference, etc.

[gbgary]

a game break for a seven yard run out of bounds? COME ON MAN!

[pbmax]

Bush underneath. Safety over the top. RIght in between,

[imscott72]

UGH..Bush on the coverage of Scheffler??

[pbmax]

Neal is in the game.

[imscott72]

Hawk gets a gift.. :lol:

[pbmax]

I'll take an INT on a slip by the WR.

[gbgary]

hawk with the int. lol

[Fosco33]

Well, similar story as Monday. There were a few drives where we got a sack or offensive holding and put them in deep down/yardage - and still gave up first downs. Now - this is 2 (or 3) times on this drive alone....

[steve823]

Hawk int..now that's rare. Wish I was watching this one

[Carolina_Packer]

In case you are in Fox Football hell like I am in North Carolina watching the Panthers/Saints, here is a link to the game online:

http://www.iilemi.com/9590/1/Watch-Detroit-Lions-vs-Green-Bay-Packers/

[Fosco33]

Good for Hawk.... expect 1 or 2 more INTs (hopefully CW gets after some today).

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Good start to the game, now lets get another TD!

[Cheesehead Craig]

That a boy Hawk!

[gbgary]

yotto

[pbmax]

Another holding.

[imscott72]

BJax looks to be running with authority today..

[Carolina_Packer]

Man, you can just tell that turf toe is affecting Best on that cut he tried to make on the crossing pattern.

[pbmax]

Unnecessary roughness? On the tackle?

[Fosco33]

Lame - more questionable holding... Great audible by ARod and nice effort by BJ. Wouldn't be shocked to see a 100 yard effort as ARod's arm may be a little swore after Monday's pitch count went high.

[pbmax]

That is once in each of the last two games they have taken a TO to avoid delay of game.

[Iron Mike]

Why do they insist on calling it a major facemask? As there's no distinction - just call it a facemask.

Imagine - major offsides, major holding, major pass interference, etc.

Same thing in my line of work....."massive" heart attack. Did you ever hear of anyone having a "minimal" heart attack?? :roll:

[gbgary]

don't run sideways on that

[DannoMac21]

What the hell kinda play call is that?

Yes I have actually..Mathsay you suck!!

[Fosco33]

Seriously. wtf - how can this kid be so inconsistent?

I hate our special teams - both in the Pack and Badgers.

[pbmax]

And we once again try to demonstrate that Special Teams are important. By trying to win without them.

[imscott72]

a 12 yard punt? Are you fucking serious?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Let's get some more pass rush on this drive.

[pbmax]

a 12 yard punt? Are you fucking serious?
I thought it was 21 yds?

[gbgary]

a 12 yard punt? Are you fucking serious?

i'm more concerned over the play call to send kuhn on a wide run.

[imscott72]

a 12 yard punt? Are you fucking serious?

They re-spotted the ball based on where it went out of bounds apparently..

Discounting the need for a legit punter is a black mark on TT. It totally matters to have a weapon like that. We're ALWAYS transitioning that position because he refuses to give enough attention to it. Take care of it once and for all!

[cheesner]

a 12 yard punt? Are you fucking serious?Turns out they were kidding - its 21 yards

[pbmax]

a 12 yard punt? Are you fucking serious?

i'm more concerned over the play call to send kuhn on a wide run.
I am not sure that was the call. Wells or Colledge failed to get someone blocked so Kuhn had some company.

[gbgary]

come on D. lions moving too easily.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

come on D. lions moving too easily.

My thoughts exactly. If it wasn't for Best falling they might be going for the lead. D needs to step up.

[pbmax]

Not looking good on the pass rush. Zombo lost the TE in coverage.

[imscott72]

Man, our defense is getting run over..

[Tarlam!]

Can someone wake up Dom Capers and tell him the game has begun?

[imscott72]

HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU LOSE CALVIN JOHNSON???

[steve823]

What the hell is the secondary doing

[denverYooper]

Um.

YUCK.

[Carolina_Packer]

All started by the fabulous punt. Can we get Kapinos or Frost back.

[gbgary]

had to be a blown coverage. geesh.

[jpompo]

HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU LOSE CALVIN JOHNSON???

Seriously, they have 2 playmakers and you don't cover 1 of them?

[pbmax]

Beastly.

[pbmax]

Can someone wake up Dom Capers and tell him the game has begun?
He doesn't rush the passer nor can he tell the players who to cover in mid play.

[Fosco33]

was that Bush pointing to Matthews on one of the 2 wide open receivers?

This D looks gassed already.

[imscott72]

The Lions have the worst run D in the league. If we can run the ball today and eat some clock, then we have some serious issues..

[pbmax]

was that Bush pointing to Matthews on one of the 2 wide open receivers?

This D looks gassed already.
Are we mistaking gassed for stupidity?

[Fosco33]

Dom needs to dial it down. Lions have feasted off the screen and delayed handoffs (and screens wide open where LBs typically reside).

Just sit back and let them come... bringing it every other down gets predictable and easy to plan counter.

[denverYooper]

Maybe Chillar is not so bad to have in coverage...

Shields too.

We're missing those guys today.

[mmmdk]

was that Bush pointing to Matthews on one of the 2 wide open receivers?

This D looks gassed already.

This could be a shootout.

[Fosco33]

Can we never have a rookie and Bush communicating? Bad things are sure to happen.

[imscott72]

Wow, this is disturbing..

[pbmax]

Another line drive.

[Fosco33]

Second 3rd and 1 and we're punting... really? can't handle a 3rd and short.

We look like Detroit (and vice versa).

[imscott72]

Lots better Masthay..

[Fosco33]

I'm a bit perplexed. If Lions gain another 80 yards and score, I'm gonna go hit some golf balls.

[Carolina_Packer]

The play looked promising on 3rd and 1, but the execution sucked.

[imscott72]

I'm a bit perplexed. If Lions gain another 80 yards and score, I'm gonna go hit some golf balls.

If Best wouldn't have fallen down on the Hawk pick we might be down 14-7 right now..

[gbgary]

best falling down on his own has been our defensive mvp so far.

[imscott72]

Barnett with a wrist..In the locker room getting x-rayed..

[Fosco33]

Seriously - someone text the D. You don't have to blitz every other down against the Staffordless Lions. Yet another delayed handoff and swing pass against the blitz.

And you finally fucking stop them and have 12 on the field. Get the fuck outta here. Bushleague bullshit.

[denverYooper]

Barnett out for X-rays. Bishop is in.

[Fosco33]

Barnett with a wrist..In the locker room getting x-rayed..

Was wondering why Hawk is out there so much.

[Fosco33]

Barnett with a wrist..In the locker room getting x-rayed..

Was wondering why Hawk is out there so much.

Or are we just playing more base?

[mmmdk]

Can I change my prediction? :wink:

[imscott72]

Fumble! Another lucky break..

[Fosco33]

Pack gets lucky after the dumbest penalty in sports (12 on the field while finally stopping a team on 3rd down).

[denverYooper]

Apparently, we're using a .45 and they brought an Uzi. No feet are safe.

[gbgary]

Pack gets lucky after the dumbest penalty in sports (12 on the field while finally stopping a team on 3rd down).

there was a dumber one in a game college game yesterday. 13 on the field. cost them the game.

[Fosco33]

I hate games with tons of penalties on either side Game is so slow and touchy. Let them play.

[Freak Out]

Better get this fixed.

[imscott72]

Wow..

[Fosco33]

How is that not a penalty? Knee to the head. I get that AR wasn't down. But wtf.

[Fosco33]

Someone chop block that muthafucker

[imscott72]

OMG What a throw by Rodgers!! WOW

[gbgary]

a bullet from ar to fin. daaaaaamm.

[Fosco33]

There's the Finley TD I was calling pregame! 1st one :-)

[pbmax]

We are witnessing a first for me. Chad Clifton just got help from a RB or TE chip on his guy.

[steve823]

amazing pass

They had the first anyways, they didn't stop them. Did you see where tey were spotting the ball? They had a first down regardless of the penalty.

[gbgary]

Burnett X rays on his knee

number three especially! lol

[imscott72]

amazing pass

Can't stop looking at that pass...just ridiculous..one of the best I've ever seen..

[PackerTimer]

Amusing that they are talking about Barnett being out and he is in on that play.

[denverYooper]

what was that hesitation by Hawk? Wood came in and finished that.

[imscott72]

TWill!! Great coverage..

[denverYooper]

Way to play the ball T-Will

[PackerTimer]

Good coverage by Williams.

[gbgary]

no...that was a total Rodgers pass...but i know what you mean.

Same here. Man that was too good.

[mmmdk]

I think we all saw it; I'm baffled by Hawk here :?:

[steve823]

Seems like we're getting it together now. But I'm starting to think Burnett is still too raw. I know he's out now getting checked out for an injury, but on the long pass to Calvin Johnson he was out of position.

Last week against the Bears he played bad too.

[gbgary]

time to string together a bunch of first downs, get another td, and give the d a rest.

[denverYooper]

what was that hesitation by Hawk? Wood came in and finished that.

I think we all saw it; I'm baffled by Hawk here :?:

I'm guessing he thought Best might head to the sideline and he didn't want to give up a big play. Good thing Wood stuck his nose in though.

[Carolina_Packer]

amazing pass

Can't stop looking at that pass...just ridiculous..one of the best I've ever seen..

Same here. Man that was too good.

With the 18 game schedule and cutting back on OTA's and offseason training, plays like that that are total trust/timing would be a lot harder.

[imscott72]

Driver is a STUD

[gbgary]

DD IMPROV.

[denverYooper]

Why don't we just pass until we're up by 30 and then work on the running game?

[steve823]

SMART play by Arod

[imscott72]

Jennings!!!! WOOHOO

[PackerTimer]

The man is on fire. Another perfect pass.

[Carolina_Packer]

A little more mustard on that throw and DD walks in.

[steve823]

There we go Jennings.

[gbgary]

time to string together a bunch of first downs, get another td, and give the d a rest.

maybe next possession. :D

[Carolina_Packer]

Has there been a Suh sighting today?

[mmmdk]

Last 2 TDs were covered pretty well by Lions. AR rules !

[denverYooper]

Has there been a Suh sighting today?

No. But our interior is pretty stout. I think he's over Sitton most of the time.

[gbgary]

MR MATTHEWS

[imscott72]

CLAYMAKER!!

[steve823]

Carolina my link just went dead...something for copyrgiht infringement lol you got any more ?

[pbmax]

what was that hesitation by Hawk? Wood came in and finished that.
Maybe not. Nice job playing leverage and giving the ball carrier no choice but to run into more defenders rather than wide and the chance to outrun one guy.

[gbgary]

come on Pack D. cover someone.

[Jimx29]

stop blitzing, for a few plays, and make sure everyone is covered.

[pbmax]

That was the Bear front out of a 3-4 personnel package.

[gbgary]

that tightend screen has killed twice now.

[pbmax]

Its a nice call and execution. Hill moves pretty well on it.

[imscott72]

Jenks!!!

Jordy coughes it up...wow

[Bossman641]

No way can Hanson hit from 55 can he?

[imscott72]

No way can Hanson hit from 55 can he?

He seems to always be automatic against us..

[denverYooper]

But he doesn't have a CrosbyLeg(tm)!

[Jimx29]

fastest first half i've watched in a long time

[mmmdk]

Woodson went up too early

Yup, no Defensive playa of da year dis year.

[Fosco33]

Why are we blitzing greater than 50% of the time? It has surely got some positives (sacks, pressures, etc.) - but we've been burned more often. How many screens for 1st downs, swing passes, etc? Heck - on that last TD drive - we had Jarret Bush blitz twice. Is he that bad in coverage that we just ask him to take up a blocker on the line?

The Lions scheme is perfect for an aggressive team. I'd be fine with more balance.

[mmmdk]

Shootout :jig:

Its not that high. They are often sending an overload from one side but still only rushing four.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Woodson went up too early

Derrick Martin should have went for that ball. He had a good angle on it but chose not to try and stop it and played behind Calvin for some dumb ass reason.

[Fosco33]

Lucky to be leading this game...

INT that took off 3 or 7 from the Lions
Gift turnover in the redzone lead to short TD by GB
Late fumble and missed FG by Detroit

Could easily be 20 or 24 to 14 - Lions.

(Lions - Packers)

1st downs (13 to 7)
3rd down (5/7 vs 2/4)

Turnovers (2 vs 1)
Sacks (1 vs 3)
Penalties (9 vs. 1)

2nd half...
1. Stop blitzing every down - Hill is 21 of 26 for 237 yards (many of them screens, short outs, swing passes). Really - he's on pace for 470 yards!

2. Does ARod really only have 9 attempts? With a combined 8 carries by Jackson/Kuhn/Rodgers - the Packers have only ran 17 plays? Wow - that's just crazy for 21 points. Lions have ran 2Xs as many plays and have to be dominating TOP.

More 2 man and less zone then? Or can we have one stick back on the blitz (fake blitz)?

[pbmax]

Not a good call.

[Fosco33]

Is that every game now for CWood?

[imscott72]

These PI calls are getting so out of control..WTF is Woodson suppose to do? Not touch the guy at all?

[imscott72]

Heck - on that last TD drive - we had Jarret Bush blitz twice. Is he that bad in coverage that we just ask him to take up a blocker on the line?

The Lions scheme is perfect for an aggressive team. I'd be fine with more balance.
Its not that high. They are often sending an overload from one side but still only rushing four.

More 2 man and less zone then? Or can we have one stick back on the blitz (fake blitz)?
They seem to be bringing coverage up from deep and giving the short pass angles to make people miss.

I would think about more defenders in the middle.

But what do I know, Wood just scored a TD on an INT>

[Fosco33]

How many dropped INTs for Collins (and the Pack) this year? Looked like he looked up for the blockers...

[Fosco33]

go read the 'predict score' thread from last 2 weeks. I should be going to Vegas. Unless it was trapped.

[steve823]

WOODSON.

[mmmdk]

Should be int.

[pbmax]

Has anyone seen a replay since the INT? What is TV doing?

[Fosco33]

Looks like they don't have a good angle.

[gbgary]

from that look it's an int and a td.



CHUCK

[mmmdk]

Has anyone seen a replay since the INT? What is TV doing?

damn commercials.

New angle might/might not reveal it.

[pbmax]

Nice to be on the D team broadcast. No camera angle shows it moving!

[mmmdk]

INT. - No doubt!

[pbmax]

Is this game calming anyone's nerves?

[Fosco33]

Is this game calming anyone's nerves?

No way. A backup throws for 230+ yards and 2 TDs at Lambeau - in one half. Def can only hold up so much. Offense hasn't had any rythm/consistency - more points than plays.

[pbmax]

The Packers do not play angles well. CB forced running back wide but Barnett was waiting inside for a cutback.

[Fosco33]

Yet another 3rd and short for a 1st down. Getting killed on 3rd down (6 of 8).

[mmmdk]

Another turist crowd at Lambeau.

[pbmax]

I know a suicide pool that will blow up if NO loses to Carolina.

The Lions are better this year. Their O line is playing well. Defense has holes, but they are improving.

[gbgary]

on the johnson hail mary...fin should have been stationed in the endzone, on johnson's side, just for that scenario.

[pbmax]

That was less than pristine coverage by Woodson.

Yea we've got serious issues in the 2nd level. Too many soft spots in the middle of the field..

[pbmax]

Defense is keeping itself on the field forever.

[MJZiggy]

Is this game calming anyone's nerves?

Not in the least.

[mmmdk]

Packers primed for playoff...Iggles 106 Packers 100 in OT :lol:

[pbmax]

Close to a catch.

[pbmax]

Sabotage!

It wasn't much of a hail mary.

[pbmax]

Nice run but Jackson seems to run small as he gets contact. Not tough to bring down at all.

[pbmax]

Nance with blitz pickup?

[pbmax]

Nance with blitz pickup?
Radio corrected. Jackson with blitz pickup.

[MJZiggy]

What the hell was that?

[pbmax]

Korey Hall pancaked Van den Bosch on that play.

[pbmax]

What the hell was that?
Detroit offside and forward lateral after INT when Nelson cut off his route and WR wanted him to keep going deep.

[DannoMac21]

What the fuck is Rodgers doing?

[pbmax]

Wrong throw. Jennings had him beat deep and AR threw to back shoulder.

[TravisWilliams23]

What the fuck is Rodgers doing?

What he said. :roll:

ok. last minute, desperation, 35 yards in the air, pass.

[mmmdk]

Sloppy, Packers, sloppy. :x

[pbmax]

There was no coverage in the center of the field.

[mmmdk]

Packers totally out of sync. - eery lethargic atmosphere.

[imscott72]

What a fucking joke this defense is...Wow

[pbmax]

Terrible pass rush discipline.

[steve823]

are u kidding

[Bossman641]

Quarterback scrambles have killed the defense this year.

This defense looks like crap. So much for taking it out on the Lions.
