The Official Packers @ Jets Gameday Thread

[Brandon494]

you guess ready for this miss?

[steve823]

Great kick Crosby. Every kick is hard in Giants/Jets Stadium

[Tony Oday]

wow he made a kick...hope he doesnt have to kick one for the win...

[packer4life]

points off turnovers, we'll take it :)

[MJZiggy]

you guess ready for this miss?

Nope.

[Fosco33]

Ok Defense - you got us this far. Time to call on you at least one more time. Sanchez will be getting desperate. They may give up on the run. Don't be fooled by the play action or the pumps - they've burned them twice.

Go Pack Go

[denverYooper]

Just have to say - win or lose - what a great game.

No one expected GB's Defense to be outplaying the Jets - particularly when half the team is out.

Need to get a little lucky and close it out.

+1. Stupendous game by the Packers D today.

[packer4life]

will capers revert to the 3 man rush...?

[retailguy]

you guess ready for this miss?

at least you're consistent. :D

[packer4life]

lets go special teams!

[Brandon494]

you guess ready for this miss?

at least you're consistent. :D

Like I said I don't mind being wrong. :)

[MJZiggy]

Nice job, ST.

[retailguy]

will capers revert to the 3 man rush...?

hope not.

[steve823]

Time for Sanchez to do what he does best .. CHOKE. Can't wait to see what Capers calls

[mission]

Ok Defense - you got us this far. Time to call on you at least one more time. Sanchez will be getting desperate. They may give up on the run. Don't be fooled by the play action or the pumps - they've burned them twice.

Go Pack Go

:cow: :alc:

[packer4life]

too early to start getting giddy about possibly going into the bye weekend at 6-3?

[Tony Oday]

Nice job, ST.

was that OUR Special Team not playing "special"?

[retailguy]

you guess ready for this miss?

at least you're consistent. :D

Like I said I don't mind being wrong. :)

I only wish you'd been wrong once more.

9-0 > 6-0. :wink:

[gbgary]

we need another 3 and out and another fg. i know a td is too much to ask for.

[Brandon494]

This is why I don't bet on games. I thought for sure the Jets would run all over us today and win this game. Great job by the defense today.

[VegasPackFan]

We may be up for yet another nail biter

[ThunderDan]

Jets D is 4th in the league in scoring D at 16.8 ppg.

[ThunderDan]

HOw is that not a hold on Raji!

[VegasPackFan]

So close to the sack there, then give up a big one DAMN

[DannoMac21]

The hell was that?

[Brandon494]

Damnit nice play by Sanchez

[denverYooper]

Time for a turnover!

[steve823]

Bring the pressure on this play. I want a sack. Clay.

[packer4life]

good pressure with bringing just 4 on that great play by sanchez...dammit

[Jimx29]

Damnit nice play by Sanchezi'd say dirty sanchezes call was quite shitty

[steve823]

Wow i was scared when I saw the 3 man rush there

[DannoMac21]

LETS GO DEFENSE!!!!

[gbgary]

way to go D!

[red]

was sanchez over the line on that play?

i thought he was but they didn't show a replay of it.

then sanchez did a very quick snap and sneak on the next play

[DannoMac21]

LETS GO BABY!!!!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[denverYooper]

CHARLIE FUCKIN" PEPRAH!!! WHOOOOO BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[retailguy]

the first defining play of this game. NICE! :D

[Jimx29]

atta boy peppy

[imscott72]

YESSSSSSSSS..Can't say enough good things about the D today..Simply amazing..Harris and Bigby will never get activated at this rate..

[steve823]

Whats the over/under on how many times we see Kuhn run it now.

[denverYooper]

was sanchez over the line on that play?

i thought he was but they didn't show a replay of it.

then sanchez did a very quick snap and sneak on the next play

I thought so too... Good catch Red. It was awfully close.

[Brandon494]

Will Peprah remain the starter when Bigby returns? I sure hope so

[packer4life]

dear football gods,

please please please please let us steal this

[ThunderDan]

was sanchez over the line on that play?

i thought he was but they didn't show a replay of it.

then sanchez did a very quick snap and sneak on the next play

Just looked at the DVR, he was 2 yards short of the line when he threw it.

[retailguy]

dear football gods,

please please please please let us steal this

PRICELESS! and i agree. :P

[gbgary]

Wow i was scared when I saw the 3 man rush therethe three man rush d has done well this season.

[denverYooper]

Offense can salt the game away here. They just have to move the ball.

[red]

was sanchez over the line on that play?

i thought he was but they didn't show a replay of it.

then sanchez did a very quick snap and sneak on the next play

Just looked at the DVR, he was 2 yards short of the line when he threw it.

thanks dan

i think sanchez might have thought he was over, because there was no other reason to run that next play they did

[Brandon494]

play action pass with that formation would have been a nice call there.

[gbgary]

there's lots of time left. we HAVE to get a few first downs here.

[VegasPackFan]

Ok - so we run 1st play - thats ok - Jets use a TO. But I think you have to take a shot down field or at least throw on 2nd. A FG wins now or you have to get them backed way up with no TO's or just one TO.

[steve823]

Screen or quick, safe pass. But MM will probably keep running it

[packer4life]

Wow i was scared when I saw the 3 man rush therethe three man rush d has done well this season.

has it really? im not arguing, but all i can remember in my mindhole is bunch of time for the QB and a burned defensive backfield

[RashanGary]

Wow, beat the Jets off their bye. . . . Amazing if it happens.

[VegasPackFan]

Now that call just sucked big time!

[ThunderDan]

I understand running there but what a shitty run call.

[packer4life]

time for masthay to come of age...

[retailguy]

Wow, beat the Jets off their bye. . . . Amazing if it happens.

don't jump ahead.... patience! :P

[gbgary]

pull your head out mm.

[denverYooper]

Convert here!

[Brandon494]

damnit MM, your playcalling pissing me off sometimes.

[Tony Oday]

cmon big 3rd

[imscott72]

Wow, beat the Jets off their bye. . . . Amazing if it happens.

Shhhh....

[MJZiggy]

Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!

[Tony Oday]

WTF was that?!

[imscott72]

No pass at all? Ugh...

[denverYooper]

Or play it safe.

Hard to argue with that, given how the D is playing.

[mission]

im so sick of watching this game strategy week after week

[Brandon494]

MM you fat pussy!

[VegasPackFan]

FUCKING HORRIBLE!!!!

The D better not break at this point - no way.....

[packer4life]

im fine with it...lets go D

[Freak Out]

WTF was that?

[Fosco33]

thanks for the help, offense... :roll:

Jeez - 8 seconds and 1 yard.


Need D's help yet again.

[RashanGary]

I don't know if I like that plan. . . . Seems to me, 4 minutes is a lot of time, although the Jets offense is playing like shit and our defense is doing well so I can see how he would do that.

[Brandon494]

Wow, beat the Jets off their bye. . . . Amazing if it happens.

You know you just fucked us right?

[Jimx29]

Whats the over/under on how many times we see Kuhn run it now.after seeing other current scores, it's safe bet that the total points record that was made last week won't happen again this week

[gbgary]

mm is impossible!

[packer4life]

i hear it all the time against us...time for the D to "PIN THEIR EARS BACK" and kill sanchez

[steve823]

Good punt. Time for defense again. LETS GO PACK.

[red]

what a fucking waste. three and out and we burned up about 15 seconds and gained a few yards. now they get the ball back

dumb

here comes M3 and his play not to win mentality

[Fosco33]

At least M3 forced the Jets to call all their timeouts....

[ThunderDan]

In that series I think you play action on 1st and run on 2nd and 3rd. Bad run called on 2nd down, Icna understand the run on 3rd.

[Jimx29]

here comes M3 and his play not to win mentalitydeer in the headlights again.....

[packer4life]

what a fucking waste. three and out and we burned up about 15 seconds and gained a few yards. now they get the ball back

dumb

here comes M3 and his play not to win mentality

all timeouts gone, drive wasn't for nothing

[Brando19]

LINK TO THE GAME ANYONE!!!!!! My channel just went out!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brandon494]

At least M3 forced the Jets to call all their timeouts....

Its 4 minutes on the clock, do they really need them?

[DannoMac21]

Cotchery is absolutely awful. Wow.

[RashanGary]

FUCKING PEPRAH!!!


YEAH

[red]

pep with a great game

[steve823]

Peprah > Bigby. Let Bigby stay on IR

[Jimx29]

[red]

CLAY FUCKING MATHEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gbgary]

[Brandon494]

CLAY!!!!!!!!!!

[packer4life]

CLAY FUCKING MATHEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PIN OUR EARS BACK AND WIN THIS GAME BITCHES

[Jimx29]

[RashanGary]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[red]

that should be game

WOW

D came up fucking huge today

[retailguy]

holy crap. ONE FIRST down and we win! :shock:

[MJZiggy]

i hear it all the time against us...time for the D to "PIN THEIR EARS BACK" and kill sanchez

What the hell does "pin their ears back" mean anyway.

[Fosco33]

Whooo - what a defensive effort by our Green Bay Packers!

CM3 and the coverage units.

Stupid Rex calls all his timeouts. Now GB can just run it 3 times and get a short FG to go up 2 scores.

haha

[Tony Oday]

Holy CMIII and defense

[gbgary]

need to get the fg here.

[RashanGary]

Tramon Willaims
Clay Matthews
Mark Sanchez


WOO!!!

[imscott72]

Clay is our Reggie White..Just unstoppable! One 1st down here wins this shit..

[RashanGary]

Rex was so frickin cocky early in hte game. Everything would go wrong and he'd be all chipper about it.

How you feel now, bitch? Still Chipper?

[ThunderDan]

i hear it all the time against us...time for the D to "PIN THEIR EARS BACK" and kill sanchez

What the hell does "pin their ears back" mean anyway.

Have you seen a dog run? When they run all out their ears go back against their heads.

[Brando19]

what just happened???? INT????

[Fosco33]

At least M3 forced the Jets to call all their timeouts....

Its 4 minutes on the clock, do they really need them?

Guess they could've used them

[Jimx29]

i hear it all the time against us...time for the D to "PIN THEIR EARS BACK" and kill sanchez

What the hell does "pin their ears back" mean anyway.i'm thinking it's from attack dogs like dobermans, etc...when they get their ears cropped

[Fosco33]

what just happened???? INT????

Jets went for it on 4th/11.

[Brando19]

what just happened???? INT????

Jets went for it on 4th/11.

Thanks man!! GO PACK GO!

[Fosco33]

need to get the fg here.

Or a 1st down...

[imscott72]

A Mason Crosby FG wins it..I can't believe we're about to pull this shit off..

[Tony Oday]

Cmon Mason!!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!

[Tony Oday]

A Mason Crosby FG wins it..I can't believe we're about to pull this shit off..

It is NOT over....

[Jimx29]

Rex was so frickin cocky early in hte game. Everything would go wrong and he'd be all chipper about it.

How you feel now, bitch? Still Chipper?^^ what he said ^^

[red]

what just happened???? INT????

um what?

2 minute warning

before that jets went for it on 4th and long and didn't get it

[VegasPackFan]

FG FTW!! CMON MAN!!

[Fosco33]

really, really suprised by this game. Totally shocked a good AFC team, on the road, after a bye, fully injured.

Could be a swing for the season.

[mission]

these announcers are super jet dick suckers

[imscott72]

DAGGER!!!!!! WHAT A WIN!!!!! WOWOWOWOW

[red]

A Mason Crosby FG wins it..I can't believe we're about to pull this shit off..

i never thought we would win this one

GOT IT!!!!!

GAME

[denverYooper]

A Mason Crosby FG wins it..I can't believe we're about to pull this shit off..

It is NOT over....

How about now?

[Brandon494]

Hell of a game by this defense again. IF Rodgers can get hot and get this offense going we are going to be a hard team to beat down the stretch.

[packer4life]

wow. if u tell me we score 9 points before this game and i would be fuming...9 points was a hell of a job against this defense. SHUTOUT baby, hats off to every defensive player, not one bad egg in the group today

[retailguy]

unbelievably good win!

[Freak Out]

Hats off the the D. NAILS!

[green_bowl_packer]

HUGE WIN

[steve823]

This raises questions. Do we even want Bigby as our stater if he comes back ? I say we continue using Peprah.

[RashanGary]

Still have to cover a kick (crosses fingers

[Shoal]

Dom Capers for President.

[gbgary]

need to get the fg here.

Or a 1st down...shit happens. i'd rather have the three. game over.

[RashanGary]

This raises questions. Do we even want Bigby as our stater if he comes back ? I say we continue using Peprah.

I agree. Peprah is the biggest bright surprise of the year for me. I was 80% sure he sucked.

[Shoal]

So when we win the SB, do the guys on IR get rings?

[retailguy]

Dom Capers for President.

+1 (as long as it is not for Head Coach, I agree)

[mission]

Dom Capers for President.

haha i like it

(and good to have you posting)

[red]

This raises questions. Do we even want Bigby as our stater if he comes back ? I say we continue using Peprah.

peprah has played pretty good as a starter

worst case scenario is we have a reliable backup SS

[Joemailman]

Now with a chance to be 6-3 going into the bye week.

Give the boys a hand. They deserve it.

[Jimx29]

errrg....vikes station clicks away from game w/play left.......good thing i'm in an area where i have 2 fox, 2 abc, 2 nbc and 2 cbs stations. a twin cities feed and a Wisconsin feed

[imscott72]

Go Pats! Kill the old man...

[denverYooper]

Dom Capers for President.

Holy smokes. That whole defensive staff is doing a TREMENDOUS job.

[packer4life]

a miracle win, and the best part is now to watch favre get pounded by the pats

[mission]

This raises questions. Do we even want Bigby as our stater if he comes back ? I say we continue using Peprah.

I agree. Peprah is the biggest bright surprise of the year for me. I was 80% sure he sucked.

you were a lot more sure than 80%, don't lie -- we all were. :lol:

gotta admit, charlie is playing rock solid. intimidating play and decent in coverage.

[Lurker64]

Holy crap, this was a strange win... but I'm happy.

[retailguy]

Holy crap, this was a strange win... but I'm happy.

weird as hell. but I'll take it. 8-)

[Joemailman]

The play of Bishop and Peprah might be the biggest reason the Packers have survived the rash of injuries on defense.

[Brandon494]

I hate to say it but if not for all these injuries I'd say we were a lock to represent the NFC in the SB.

[Fritz]

Big kudos to the defense. How many guys on IR on that side of the ball? Yet they throw a shutout.

The offense, on the other hand...harumph....lost Finley, Driver, Grant....the offensive line healthy (knock on wood), other players healthy....but they can't do crap. MM should be crapping his pants.

He should be proud of this team, but he needs to think about what he's doing about his offense. He's being outcoached by his defensive coordinator counterpart.

[Brandon494]

Don't forget Hawk also....wow whats wrong with me today

[pbmax]

AFC = OVERRATED!

Packers are winning with 1/2 to 2/3 of the team playing to the level they are capable of.

My prediction of an 11 point win was only off by two.

And yes, I am taking a bow.

Ugly, but great road win. If they could just steal a couple of these versus non-division NFC foes, they would be all set.

[Bossman641]

Cannot say enough about the play of the defense

[mission]

... + CJ Wilson, BJ Raji, Sam Shields and even Tramon Williams to a certain extent.

These guys have all surpassed expectations. Would lead me to think this coaching staff is top notch, A+ level with development and preparation.

[imscott72]

No real injuries except for Driver's quad. I really think they need to just sit him until after the bye. Was Jenkins out there today?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Next thing you'll be saying that Crosby did good. Well, he was our only source of points today

[sheepshead]

I think the coaches all deserve a hand. Game ball to the coaching staff. Few penalties. Nice game plan. Aggressive D

[pbmax]

Hawk clocked LdT late in the game, nice hit he had to move up on to deliver.

And let me take a shot at Free Agent acquisitions: funny how it never seems to work as well as advertised.

[Iron Mike]

Welcome to the top of the NFC North, boys!!!!!!! 8-)

[PackerTimer]

Very impressive win. Outstanding game by the defense. I thought there were plays to be made for the offense. Rodgers almost hooked up with Jones and Jennings for a couple of big plays. I was convinced the offense needed to make those plays to win but the D just kept responding time after time after time. Great game.

[ThunderDan]

But it won't be a close win because we won by 9.

So later in the year people will say we can't win a close game and I will say FUCK YOU!

[packer4life]

welcome to 6-3, a bye week, and the return of harris/bigby/pickett all ready to knock out a demoralized bert farvey and the vikes

[Guiness]

'lo folks

missed the game with Halloween preps (and people sitting at my kitchen table and not leaving!).

Wow, a win - no TD's in either direction. Looking back to see what happened!

[Willard]

Allow me to join the love fest. Hats of to TT for pulling the trigger on NT Green this week. We needed another double-wide to help BJ, and Green showed some game!

[Joemailman]

Cannot say enough about the play of the defense

Awesome!!!
Stupendous!!!
DOMinating!!!
Greatest Ever!!!

[mmmdk]

Outstanding D ! A shotout on the road vs a top AFC team is nothing but outstanding.

I was really happy to see Hawk have a great game; he's been solid all year but great today. :mrgreen:

[mmmdk]

Allow me to join the love fest. Hats of to TT for pulling the trigger on NT Green this week. We needed another double-wide to help BJ, and Green showed some game!

Green is the new grave digger. :lol:

[Fritz]

How about some cheers for ol' Tim Masthay? His good work was needed, and the dude came through. Maybe this is a turning point. Let's hope so.

[Bossman641]

How about some cheers for ol' Tim Masthay? His good work was needed, and the dude came through. Maybe this is a turning point. Let's hope so.

True

He was very impressive today.

[pack4to84]

:wow: :five:
MM out coached a good coach today. Capers game plan was beautiful. Revis vs Woodson I think I would take Woodson.

[mmmdk]

How about some cheers for ol' Tim Masthay? His good work was needed, and the dude came through. Maybe this is a turning point. Let's hope so.

Yup and Lions are beating the Redskins.

[pack4to84]

How about some cheers for ol' Tim Masthay? His good work was needed, and the dude came through. Maybe this is a turning point. Let's hope so.

True

He was very impressive today. Two punts down in side the 20 yard line. Good hang time. MVP runner up.

[denverYooper]

Rodgers didn't have a great day, but he didn't give the ball up either. That's all they needed from him today.

[Guiness]

This raises questions. Do we even want Bigby as our stater if he comes back ? I say we continue using Peprah.

What about Matshay's punting????

Looking at the line, 8 punts, 5 inside the 20, no returns? OMFG!

OTOH, 30yd kickoff return, and one 47 yards long. How can those two units perform so differently?

[Fritz]

This is a big win. Incredible. Masthay, Bishop, Green, Raji, the defensive backfield.

Losers: Rodgers, the wide receivers.

[mmmdk]

Rodgers didn't have a great day, but he didn't give the ball up either. That's all they needed from him today.

AR did right and just enough vs Jets rhino defense; I'm baffled by JJ as he's becoming Fergy V 2.0 before my eyes.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Special teams, special teams and special teams.

Stop the big return, get one ourselves and win the field position battle I think that's the key this week.

Oh, and making our FGs as well.

Had to give myself a pat on the back. Called this before the game started.

[mmmdk]

This is a big win. Incredible. Masthay, Bishop, Green, Raji, the defensive backfield.

Losers: Rodgers, the wide receivers.

AR not a hero but not a loser either; AR threw it away when needed and no turnovers.

GJ was ok; rest sucked [at times].

Swain looks like more than just a pre-season body - just sayin' :lol:

[vince]

YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!

I echo the Dom for President campaign!!!!

[mmmdk]

YYYYEEEEAAAAHHHHH!!!!

I echo the Dom for President campaign!!!!

D & Capers rocks - they are the reason for 5-3 record.

O & McCarthy didn't kill us tonight.

ST had a fine game - finally.

[vince]

Masthay, Bishop, Peprah, Wilson, #93 whoever he his, Crosby,

Who are these guys?

[retailguy]

But it won't be a close win because we won by 9.

So later in the year people will say we can't win a close game and I will say FUCK YOU!

We have a couple of threads for that.

And FWIW, you won't hear that out of me. I am very impressed with the D today. They played a great game all over the field. I expected them to fade in the 4th but they didn't.

Maybe the new guy is taking some of the pressure off and they don't have to play as many snaps? Not sure, just grateful.

[denverYooper]

AFC = OVERRATED!

Good call PB.

I meant to give you props on the AFC is overrated call (esp after today) but I spend most of my day chasing an 11 month around the room and can mostly post in driveby fashion :).

I think you're right though, and that there is mainly just more separation between top and bottom in the AFC than in the NFC.

[mission]

Howard Green was great! That play on the end-around... to get back there that quick and disrupt that play. Plus 2-3 more tackles. Exactly what we needed, count me in!

GPG!

[Fritz]

Man, this was big. Now there is no reason to get big-headed...the offense sucked ass today. No reason to get overconfident. Get ready for Dallas!

A huge, huge win today. Huge. Like last year's Dallas game.

Think of the confidence in that locker room right now.

[denverYooper]

Howard Green was great! That play on the end-around... to get back there that quick and disrupt that play. Plus 2-3 more tackles. Exactly what we needed, count me in!

[pbmax]

How about some cheers for ol' Tim Masthay? His good work was needed, and the dude came through. Maybe this is a turning point. Let's hope so.
Its a good thing you took over Special Teams midweek.

[vince]

The offense will not be as high octane as they would be with Finley causing headaches for D-Coordinators this year IMO. They may get better but I doubt they'll be blowing many teams out. We'll just have to live with that I'd say.

But the defense is doing a great job mixing it up and getting the job done.

DOMINATOR FOR PRESIDENT!

[pbmax]

This win won't tell you how good they can be, the offense faced a seriously talented D and struggled at times.

But it shows they can play smart football. No turnovers, net TO positive and few penalties. Masthay was the icing on that boring win cake. :lol:

And it came against a team some think is the best in the league. Not so much.

[MJZiggy]

Okay, I'll break the string. Another team that employed Favre goes down. We'll take care of Atlanta later.

Packers 20
Jets 19

Way to go, Joe!

[Packers4Glory]

was nice to watch a game w/o getting pissed because I had no expectations of winning or really having a shot to simply because I expected NYJ to run all over that front 7.

[Packers4Glory]

Rodgers didn't have a great day, but he didn't give the ball up either. That's all they needed from him today.

AR did right and just enough vs Jets rhino defense; I'm baffled by JJ as he's becoming Fergy V 2.0 before my eyes.

yeah his WR's aren't doing him any favors. lots of drops and problems getting on the same page. Yeah I'm looking at you JJ.

[vince]

Always funny perusing the roller coaster ride that is the Game Day Thread after the fact... :lol:

5-3 at the halfway mark is a beautiful thing with all the adversity we've faced so far. I figure if we can at least repeat that the second half we should win the division. We can take care of the Bears when next we meet and the Lions really have no shot. In order for the Vikings to reach that record they would have to win 8 of their last 10 games.

the high-powered, high-octane o just sucks. can't sustain a drive to save their lives. the d is simply amazing.

Best halfway record under M3. They've been humbled by injuries and some early losses and now seem to be playing better ball. If they continue to limit penalties and win the TO battle, they'll win 10 games.

Well, except for 2007. :D

Whoops. My bad.

As a try for a partial save, I thought Favre got partial credit for that season :).

'lo folks

missed the game with Halloween preps (and people sitting at my kitchen table and not leaving!).

Wow, a win - no TD's in either direction. Looking back to see what happened!

Ditto here.. Spent most of early Sun. morning driving back home from business trip on very little sleep. Caught a tiny part of the 2nd qtr before I klunked out...

Man, what a defensive performance! It's nice to give ol' fat boy Rex a big loss also!

Teams play 512 games a year in the NFL. Probably a handful are shutouts. 1 out of a 100.

Dude, don't write off the Lions. Getting scary.

Tarlam! 2-0. See ya next weel Rats!

I see where you're getting that because of the quoting but I didn't mean to write off the Lions. They could be one of the 3 losses in the second half. Suh is one of my favorite players and I've been a big fan of his since he dominated CU while playing for the Huskers.

I was just saying that the Packers will win 10 games if they win the turnover margin and limit penalties.

This was the first shutout of the NFL season (if Waldo is right). That's pretty remarkable.

Great game by the Packers today...got fortunate several times on favorable calls from the zebras, but we were due after being screwed over a couple times previously this year. It all does usually balance out in the end.

The Jets really had to be disappointing to their fans today. 2 weeks to prepare, and they laid a massive goose egg on the scoreboard in their own crib. The fake punt was a very strange call in that position so early in the game. The Jets dropped more passes than we did, which is saying something at this point.

That we were able to do this and give guys like Pickett another week of rest is huge. If we can hold off the Cowboys and get a few more bodies back to 100% during the bye week, this team has a reasonable shot at winning the division.

[pbmax]

McCarthy is on fire with challenges.

Both new linebackers seemed to fit in. One was playing OK at OLB, the other looked even better on Special Teams.

[Tarlam!]

Tar-lam! Tar-lam! Tar-Lam!

I needed this. Thanks Fritz! I just wish the Boyz would have won today. Would have taken some pressure of for next week.

But, I'll do the same ritual to keep the Karma going.

Get laid, buy a couple of new sweaters, keep off the scotch, pay some bills, start a couple of threads. PR can count on me!!!

Great job so far Tarlam! Keep it up next week! Though i've got a feeling we will lose again. Nothing is a given with this team.

[Tarlam!]

Keep it up next week!

I don't like to brag, but, that's never been a problem! 8-)

[Little Whiskey]

I've got to DVR the game today as i'm going to be away during the middle of it. Please, nobody tell me the score, so I can watch it when i get home.


thanks for keeping the score to yourselves while i watched the game.

as a side note, other than missing all the rest of the games yesterday, watching a game on DVR is the best way to watch a game. i never had to listen to those morons who were calling the game.

If you are referring to the 2 INT. Then your wrong the refs got it right.

They explained it during the broadcast.

It is just like a normal reception where the receiver has to maintain possession through the entire catch. In cases with simultaneous possession the same rule applies. If the ball comes out in that process, and the defender maintains possession, it is then an INT. In both cases the ball was yanked out before the process was completed. If the receiver and defender both maintain control through the catch, the tie goes to the receiver.

[channtheman]

On Tramon's INT, he had the ball in his arm like a running back or anyone else running with the ball would hold it. Just because the receiver latches onto it does not mean he has it or that it is even a tie. That call was totally correct.

On Woodson's INT, you could see when the receiver hit the ground that the ball was still moving around on top of him. Woodson did the right thing by grabbing the ball. Great plays by the Packers.

yup. when simultaneous possession occurs, whoever comes up with it gets it. happened twice yesterday. i love the heart the Packers have shown this season. not a give-up bone in anyone's body.

[pbmax]

Someone needs to remind Jones to put stickum on his hands EVERY game. Not just every other.

Maybe he could use that adhesive spray they use before taping ankles.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I thought both calls were correct--especially the Tramon interception. You could see the Tramon had the ball before the receiver hit the ground.

This was a good Game Day look for Cullen!
