Official Packers vs. Lions Game Day Thread

[packer4life]

jennings!

[Guiness]

Wow - neither team has completed a 3rd down. Wonder if that's ever happened in an NFL game? Gnarly.

Flynn with a run for first down for what it's worth.

Anybody's else's heart stop on that play?

[red]

bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb

its like backyard football

[packer4life]

my only critique...lead the WR and pump the brakes on all that air under your passes

[pbmax]

again, another starks run to the outside. WTF is M3 doing?

Running away from Suh. He is killing Wells inside.

[packer4life]

Running away from Suh. He is killing Wells inside.

good call man

[red]

come on flynn i want a second rounder for you this offseason

[ND72]

Flynn is working to be a 1st round trade! :-)

[Bossman641]

yeah thats it mike, yell at flynn to slide before the sticks

at least someone is trying to actually win today

Do you want Driver playin QB? My god, you bitch about everything.

[packer4life]

calm down flynn. we score a TD here and our D can carry us

[Guiness]

Two nice grabs by Nelson.

Love the precense of mind by Nelson to cover up that ball so well as 3 guys pulled him down.

[pbmax]

This announcer has bad eyesight. That pass was not high and behind him. It was too far out front.


Dammit. Ex Badger.

[packer4life]

sigh

[easy cheesy]

OMFG! Can you even believe this shit?

[ND72]

Flynn is working to be a 1st round trade! :-)

nevermind

[Fosco33]

Wow...

Lions have 0 points, 0 3rd down conversions, 0 passing yards... and are only down 3pts.

Redzone INTs are killers. Gotta tell Flynn to shake it off and do what he was doing until that play.

[pbmax]

Well, at least they turned around field position.

[red]

Do you want Driver playin QB? My god, you bitch about everything.

i want to win the fucking game. not lay down and hope detroit makes one less mistake then us today

[mmmdk]

Flynn ok until that pick.

This game sucks.

[retailguy]

i want to win the fucking game. not lay down and hope detroit makes one less mistake then us today

Believe it or not . . . So do the rest of us.

[Fosco33]

Well, at least they turned around field position.

True that. a 3-0 win is a win.

Gotta hope the Defense scores one for us. Detroit will find a way to lose.

[red]

son of a bitch

[Bretsky]

dang; Calvin is so dam good. I think Woodsen started tackling him before he made the catch. Freak

[mmmdk]

Chuck got burned.

[pbmax]

Believe it or not . . . So do the rest of us.
Red isn't convinced McCarthy does, though.

[Bretsky]

terrible terrible pass

[Bretsky]

prediction; Wide Left

[retailguy]

dang; Calvin is so dam good. I think Woodsen started tackling him before he made the catch. Freak

yup

[packer4life]

M:ISS

[pbmax]

dang; Calvin is so dam good. I think Woodsen started tackling him before he made the catch. Freak

Yep. Could have been flagged if not caught.

[red]

dang; Calvin is so dam good. I think Woodsen started tackling him before he made the catch. Freak

calvin is faster then anyone else on the field, can jump higher then anyone else and can out muscle and secondary player.

he's gonna be hell for years if detroit can figure out how to play pitch and catch

[easy cheesy]

Wah... Wah... Wah... thank God for small favors

[packer4life]

MM has a lot of faith in the passing game and a lot of faith in flynn. first offensive drive was not run heavy as expected. Flynn has his dumb mistake behind him, this is his time to MANAGE the game and win

[Bretsky]

Boom
I was worried we were going to keep Rayner instead of Crosby. Crosby has a smooth compact stroke. Not erratic like the dude we just saw

[retailguy]

Red isn't convinced McCarthy does, though.

lol. Good one. Truth be told I'm not convinced McCarthy gets it either. But he who shall not be criticized hired him, so we must be OK with it.

[Fosco33]

"Merry Christmas, GBP"-

D. Rayner

[Bossman641]

i want to win the fucking game. not lay down and hope detroit makes one less mistake then us today

I don't blame Flynn for diving. He did what came natural to him. I also don't blame MM for being angry that Flynn didn't slide. If Flynn gets injured we are screwed.

[pbmax]

prediction; Wide Left

You are frightening sometimes.

[Iron Mike]

http://www.packerpalace.com/palace/pussies2.jpg

I'd feel a lot better if we were up 10-0.

[Fosco33]

3rd and 1 - Kuhn time

[retailguy]

You are frightening sometimes.

Not to worry PB, Bretsky still has the book that Dr. Emmitt Brown gave him.

[red]

this game is horrible, it has to be one of the worst i've ever seen

we have exactly one FG to cheer for in the entire game

[pbmax]

lol. Good one. Truth be told I'm not convinced McCarthy gets it either. But he who shall not be criticized hired him, so we must be OK with it.

McCarthy manages according to what you should be able to the opponent. That was why it was deep passes early, though not all those passes were his call (3rd and short, etc.)

Sometimes, you need to do what you do well first.

[Bretsky]

You are frightening sometimes.


He was junk when we had him; that one was easy to bank on

[packer4life]

jesus

[red]

wow

what in the hell, was that

[pbmax]

That is what happens with the backup. Though Lang completely whiffed on the DT not name Suh.

[Bretsky]

Logan should have caught that in the end zone and ran it out against our special teams

It might be the Lions best chance to score a TD

[Fosco33]

3rd and 1 - Kuhn time

Right personnel, right call, bad execution from Flynn. How do you come out of a break and not get the play right.... jeez man

[retailguy]

McCarthy manages according to what you should be able to the opponent. That was why it was deep passes early, though not all those passes were his call (3rd and short, etc.)

Sometimes, you need to do what you do well first.

I get that, and don't disagree, but it is never apparent that McCarthy has a "backup plan" in case what you should be able to do doesn't work. Well, other than toss bombs around... I guess.

[Fosco33]

Ok B - make a prediction here. I say Twill with a pick 6.

[Bretsky]

In the first packerrat Packer game outing, many did not have faith in Aaron Rodgers yet

For those who were there, you have the opportunity to meet an always wired....Madtownpackerbacker. Very Cool guy....fast talking dude....could see him being a chick magent in Cali

The whole weekend he was yelling Flynn to Win; the mre we drank and walked bar to bar the more he yelled Flynn to win. He didn't have faith in AROD yet and was chanting this because he thought Flynn would take us to the promise land

Looks like this weekend he has a shot

[Bossman641]

I'm feeling a pick 6 from Collins

[Bretsky]

Ok B - make a prediction here. I say Twill with a pick 6.


This is the type of game we'd lose in the past. Multiple turnovers.......too many pendalties...........I have a bad feeling they are going to tie the game up if Rayner can make a kick

[Fosco33]

The Jennings drop/INT and Arod non-slide will be the plays of this game

[retailguy]

I'm feeling a pick 6 from Collins

I'm not feeling anything.

[Bossman641]

Remember when Carson Palmer was good?

[Fosco33]

I'm not feeling anything.

That's what she said.... Hahaha

[packer4life]

Run D is losing every first down rush

[Bretsky]

I was hoping to see Javhid Best fall to us in round two but it was a pipe dream; he'd look good in green n gold

[Fosco33]

Ok Defense - now is not the time to let them score a TD.... game/season on line here.

[Packers4Glory]

if they get a TD we're screwed.

[Fosco33]

Run D is losing every first down rush

Except that one...

[Freak Out]

D bending now.......

[Packers4Glory]

game. set. playoffs

[Fosco33]

Miracle time...

[packer4life]

if they get a TD we're screwed.

we're screwed

[MadScientist]

FUCK!!!!

[red]

fuck us

fuck us right in the ass

[packer4life]

FIRE EVERYBODY

[retailguy]

if they get a TD we're screwed.

sigh.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

7:55 left in the season if we lose.

[Bretsky]

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo
to be honest I was going to predict a Lions TD but I didn't have the heart to make such an ugly prediction so I went FG

Let's all chant it together

FLYNN TO WIN

[easy cheesy]

This is absolutely unbeliveable... an 80 yard drive ending in a touchdown for frickin' Detroit... time to break out the Chardonnay....

[packer4life]

sam shields...please make a play

[Jimx29]

they were who we didn't think they were

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Close game, I always find something MM should have done. He should have review the Jennings play. I don't see how we score a TD.

[Freak Out]

Flynn to win!

M3 better call some plays.

[Packers4Glory]

pray for a run back.

[packer4life]

matt flynn. the new tj rubly?

[Fosco33]

Time to settle back down. Flynn had a decent drive before the INT. Need a dose of that and some plays by playmakers.
If we lose the game, don't deserve a playoff shot.

[easy cheesy]

7:55 left in the season if we lose.

BINGO! Winner... Winner....

[retailguy]

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo
to be honest I was going to predict a Lions TD but I didn't have the heart to make such an ugly prediction so I went FG

Let's all chant it together

FLYNN TO WIN

Is it too early for a 2011 draft thread? ;)

[packer4life]

nick collins looked passive on that screen pass for TD.

[ND72]

Jim Schwartz looks like a closet homosexual

[packer4life]

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii have become, comfortably numb

[MJZiggy]

This is absolutely unbeliveable... an 80 yard drive ending in a touchdown for frickin' Detroit... time to break out the Chardonnay....

Chardonnay? It's time for Jack, straight up dude! Chardonnay...

[Iron Mike]

Looks like now's the time for the OL to step up and NOT look like a bunch of pussies.....

Oh, wait.

[red]

Close game, I always find something MM should have done. He should have review the Jennings play. I don't see how we score a TD.

he also didn't have his team prepared to play today, his gameplan sucked and his play calling was horrible

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

On the bright side, 10 points wins this game. We need some luck and this season filled with negative.

[red]

Is it too early for a 2011 draft thread? ;)

hell no. i started last years thread after the 4th week i think

[Bretsky]

ez call on the PI call

[retailguy]

On the bright side, 10 points wins this game. We need some luck and this season filled with negative.

If it weren't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all. Doom, despair and agony on me...

[mmmdk]

Stubby & Flynn magic time !

[Bossman641]

Jim Schwartz looks like a closet homosexual

I think he looks like Mike Greenberg a little bit

[packer4life]

owie

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

why did the D have to let them score a td. fuck!

[ND72]

For as much praise Clifton has gotten, he is obserdly bad today

[Bretsky]

OK, where are the screen passes
Where are the reverses ?

This DL is playing the pass nearly every play

[easy cheesy]

Chardonnay? It's time for Jack, straight up dude! Chardonnay...

I'm a wine snob and I love my grape juice... BUT you're right... time for some straight up Jacked up Tennessee pride for this one.... a few I might add....

[Iron Mike]

How can Bulaga give up two sacks to Turk McBride???

[Brandon494]

Damnit Fylnn step the fuck up!

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Best backup in the league my ass.

[Packers4Glory]

lions=best defense ever

[Bretsky]

PLEASE don't give up a big return

[red]

season over guys

wow

[packer4life]

late hit on flynn. block in the back not called. FUCK

[retailguy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQ5ob9B9yD4

[mmmdk]

why did the D have to let them score a td. fuck!

Ah, I blame the Flynn int. more. Big momentum swing.

[ND72]

HOLY FUCK....no block in the back????

[Packers4Glory]

Best backup in the league my ass.

oline sucks and WR can't get open vs 5th string street guys.

[Bretsky]

15 yard return; not sure if that is good or bad by Slocum Standards

[gbgary]

geesh...need a turnover.

[Packers4Glory]

HOLY FUCK....no block in the back????

right. where is the penalty there?

[MJZiggy]

late hit on flynn. block in the back not called. FUCK

I saw that one too. Kind of obvious when it sends the defender 5 yards down the field on his face...

[mmmdk]

PLEASE don't give up a big return

Trying to predict the obvious? :lol: Phew...didn't happen!

[Guiness]

late hit on flynn. block in the back not called. FUCK

Thought I saw a block in the back on that return. Actually, what I saw was a Packer go flying across the screen, and that's generally the only way that happens.

[Bretsky]

stop them here and then we go win the game

[Iron Mike]

geesh...need a turnover.

Would be nice to beat the Motor City Kitties straight up, w/o needing a TO. :(

[Bretsky]

OK, now we go win

Flynn to Win

[red]

nick led with his head

that should be a fine

[Bossman641]

Nice job defense. Flynn, please get the job done.

[packer4life]

90 yards. 4 minutes. pray

[Bretsky]

Playoff Teams Finish

[PA Pack Fan]

Get Rodgers that pussy! He's no Favre when it comes to toughness!

[Bretsky]

OMG what is he doing ?

[Bretsky]

speed this shit up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bretsky]

winner winner chicken dinner

we should have been doing that for the past two quarters

[Rastak]

Get Rodgers that pussy! He's no Favre when it comes to toughness!

Sarcasm?

I'm pretty sure the doctors ruled him out. MM has no choice.

[easy cheesy]

OK... 2 minute warning... all time outs left... let's DO THIS FFS!

[Bretsky]

50 yds in two minutes

FLYNN TO WIN

[packer4life]

good start.

[red]

i say mike calls 3 hail mary's here

[retailguy]

winner winner chicken dinner

we should have been doing that for the past two quarters

this is part of the desperation game plan.

[mmmdk]

McCarthy Magic Time ! Flynn is the torpedo !

[Guiness]

nick led with his head

that should be a fine

Wouldn't be surprised to see one come later. Heard the click.

[Packgator]

I'm pretty sure the doctors ruled him out. MM has no choice.

No doubt. New rules make it almost impossible to come back in. I'm sure if it were up to AR he'd be in.

[Bretsky]

Flynn for the Win
We are going to win

[Guiness]

Hand off to Jackson?????

[retailguy]

phheewww.

[Bretsky]

OMGosh that was a DUCK

[red]

that was dumb

then a lame duck tthrow

heres the season, right here

[retailguy]

turn out the lights, the party's overrrrr.

[Bretsky]

WTF are we doing
RIDICULOUS

[red]

and we fucking go deep

WTF was that

unfucking believable

[Freak Out]

M3 = Fail

[ND72]

3 downs to get one yard...good play calling dumb as. Unfuckingbelieveable??

[Bretsky]

Backup QB

GET THE DAM FIRST DOWN

[easy cheesy]

Does anyone hear Dandy Don warming up for his traditional "turn out the lights"? (RIP DON)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3xsDv6yCnY

[Guiness]

Anybody else shocked by the bomb call?

Not me...

[retailguy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_T6bXYp-R9Q

[mission]

Can't fucking believe that.......

[gbgary]

what a ridiculous game.

[Brandon494]

We need a new HC, Im getting real sick of this shit!

[Iron Mike]

Doesn't that just exemplify this season??? Third and short. Fourth and short. Throw the long bomb. :(

What happened to the Pittsburgh tough??

[red]

m3 got his ass handed to him by jim fucking schwartz

[mmmdk]

We are done !

[Fosco33]

I'm now sick of M3. Draw on 2nd and 2 - no real shot on 3rd down - and then a fucking bomb on 4th down for the season. Really? really...

[Freak Out]

Lions D was a tough group today but WTF M3? Way to adjust you fucking blockhead.

[red]

We need a new HC, Im getting real sick of this shit!

thank you, thats what i've been trying to say all game

[packer4life]

not one inside handoff dive to starks. suh single-handedly whooped our team.

[PA Pack Fan]

The worst playcalling of all time. Mike Mcarthy is a joke.

[retailguy]

We need a new HC, Im getting real sick of this shit!

lol. Get used to it.

[Packers4Glory]

hahaha

Unreal.

[mmmdk]

Great time for a "Stubby the great thread" but his followers have no balls to do it.

[Jimx29]

Anybody else shocked by the bomb call?

Not me...

nope...MM's failure to coach a close game fucked us over yet again. how anyone can still be in favor of having as a coach really needs to have their head examined

[Bretsky]

A Bears victory today is pretty close to a dagger for the division

[retailguy]

A Bears victory today is pretty close to a dagger for the division

Nah. Da Bears will lose today, just to prolong the torture.

[Iron Mike]

I can hardly wait for the post-game presser. Must have been poor pad level.

[Packers4Glory]

new england is going to rape us. It will be worse if Rodgers is out.

i dont see how this team wins another game.

[PA Pack Fan]

Division, shit why go thru the embarrassment.

[Packers4Glory]

new england is going to rape us. It will be worse if Rodgers is out.

i dont see how this team wins another game.

[Fosco33]

Hello offseason - nice to meet you.

Most talented non-playoff team - coming into a possible strike season. classic.

The Lions... 10 straight to the Pack, 19 straight to the NFCN. And you lose to a 2 win team.

Classic trap game.

Big turnovers, big mistakes - all around shitty game. No winners in this one (except maybe Masthay).

[Iron Mike]

nope...MM's failure to coach a close game fucked us over yet again. how anyone can still be in favor of having as a coach really needs to have their head examined

Cowher's out there. His D Coordinator is already on staff.

[ND72]

You saw exactly what teams should do to us....send their front 4 balls out after the QB, force us to try to run. Ridiculous showing today.

[mmmdk]

Pennsylvania pussy coach :smack:

[retailguy]

I can hardly wait for the post-game presser. Must have been poor pad level.

"Honestly, I thought we had a weakness there we could exploit."

[Brandon494]

new england is going to rape us. It will be worse if Rodgers is out.

i dont see how this team wins another game.

?

What are you Ray Charles? Overreact much?

[retailguy]

Cowher's out there. His D Coordinator is already on staff.

:)

You sincerely think that Cowher would go anywhere without complete control over personnel?

[mmmdk]

new england is going to rape us. It will be worse if Rodgers is out.

i dont see how this team wins another game.

No need to rush AR back now.

[Freak Out]

Rodgers will be back next week and they have a shot to beat the Pats if M3 can game plan. Come off the ledge.

[Iron Mike]

:)

You sincerely think that Cowher would go anywhere without complete control over personnel?

Give it to him.

[mmmdk]

new england is going to rape us. It will be worse if Rodgers is out.

i dont see how this team wins another game.

BEAT DA BEARS Yes we can !

[packer4life]

new england is going to rape us. It will be worse if Rodgers is out.

i dont see how this team wins another game.

let me just point out, that once again this team has shitty luck. ARod in the second half of that game wins easy. ARod would have thrown that same 4th and 1 pass - thing is he would have stuck it.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Holy crap was the OL just damn horrible. Horrible.

[Iron Mike]

Rodgers will be back next week and they have a shot to beat the Pats if M3 can game plan. Come off the ledge.

That's a pretty big if.

[mmmdk]

Rodgers will be back next week and they have a shot to beat the Pats if M3 can game plan. Come off the ledge.

hmm...come off of the pink cloud in the sky with care bears all around !

[retailguy]

:)

You sincerely think that Cowher would go anywhere without complete control over personnel?


Give it to him.

And what do we do with "he who shall not be criticized"? He's the best GM in the league. Just ask anyone.

[Packers4Glory]

?

What are you Ray Charles? Overreact much?

hmm

New England
Giant
Bears

no running game = no win vs good defense and in cold perhaps bad weather.

I guess you must be` Ol Ray because you missed our offensive line get whooped by 4 guys the entire game play after play.

[sheepshead]

"wait 'til next year" has officially begun

[Fosco33]

Holy crap was the OL just damn horrible. Horrible.

Colledge injury really hurt. Don't know if Clifton had an average game either. Worse yet - when we had max protect - it didn't help much.

I don't like that we didn't rollout more with Flynn - does he not have that capability?

Funny stat - Arod was again our leading rusher... so sad.

[retailguy]

"wait 'til next year" has officially begun

Yup. But the bears lose today to prolong the inevitable by another week or two.

[Packers4Glory]

BEAT DA BEARS Yes we can !

as lucky as chicago has been, they still have equal or better defense than we do. ST they have a HUGE edge and thats how they beat us the first time aside from penalties.

yeah we've been unlucky most of the yr w/ losing close games and losing a shit ton of key players. that still don't excuse this game vs a 3rd string QB and a very very weak secondary.

[Fosco33]

the raider/jag game is entertaining. Oak tie it, gives up a huge kickoff return and then a 30y TD run to MJD. Now 130 left to tie it.

[PA Pack Fan]

Let me get this straight, game on the line 4th quarter, a minute and change, AND YOU RUN THE BALL WITH THE WORST RB IN THE ENTIRE NFL???????

[Scott Campbell]

Well that was awful.

[retailguy]

Let me get this straight, game on the line 4th quarter, a minute and change, AND YOU RUN THE BALL WITH THE WORST RB IN THE ENTIRE NFL???????

Sincerely, why does that surprise you? We do crazy shit like that all the time. Kind of like the bomb on 4th down two plays later.... It's just the way we roll!

[digitaldean]

A Bears victory today is pretty close to a dagger for the division

Unmitigated disaster today, period.

A game you should never have lost if Flynn played the whole friggin' game. No running game, wretched line play.

We let DREW FREAKIN' STANTON beat us?? And it was supposed to be EASIER this week with Vanden Bosch on IR.

Now we need some major help just to get in!

[Brandon494]

hmm

New England
Giant
Bears

no running game = no win vs good defense and in cold perhaps bad weather.

I guess you must be` Ol Ray because you missed our offensive line get whooped by 4 guys the entire game play after play.

Didnt realize Aaron Rodgers was out for the season. As pissed as I am about this game if he doesnt get knocked out we win this game.

[packer4life]

you give starks 18 carries last week and he runs well against a tough run D. This week you run slow-developing draws to BJax all day long? Come on man.

[packer4life]

MM calls plays like a 12 year old child playing madden.

[retailguy]

Now we need some major help just to get in!

Funny stat - Arod was again our leading rusher... so sad.

I would have been happy if Clifton had had an average game. He got his ass handed to him, just like all the OL.

I don't understand the run distribution at all. Jackson 7 carries, Starks 6. HAVE to rush the ball more than that.

[Packers4Glory]

, Starks 6. HAVE to rush the ball more than that.

how many of those were ran outside?

[mmmdk]

as lucky as chicago has been, they still have equal or better defense than we do. ST they have a HUGE edge and thats how they beat us the first time aside from penalties.

yeah we've been unlucky most of the yr w/ losing close games and losing a shit ton of key players. that still don't excuse this game vs a 3rd string QB and a very very weak secondary.

It's all that's left: Beat da Bears. Pats & Giants will kill us. I'm just trying to avoid a sweep by dem Bears.

About luck; McCarthy is lucky to be a NFL head coach 'cos this is as good as it gets !

[mmmdk]

Flynn just lost tons of stock; we're stuck with his "talent".

[retailguy]

how many of those were ran outside?

Suh made Wells look like he was playing Pop Warner ball. There was no choice but to run outside.

[red]

how many of those were ran outside?

at least 4 by my count

[mmmdk]

Going to watch championship play called football: SAINTS & Payton. Can't wait for Stubby era to end; will it be next season? :satan:

[gbgary]

No need to rush AR back now.

concussions aren't something you can rush. can't go until the neuralogist says you can go.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Flynn just lost tons of stock; we're stuck with his "talent".
How?

You seriously saying that because he didn't light up a defense ARod was having problems with given he had no practice or prep time that he's not good?

[mmmdk]

How?

You seriously saying that because he didn't light up a defense ARod was having problems with given he had no practice or prep time that he's not good?

Light up? :lol: To win this game you needed just turning on the frecking light switch.

[mmmdk]

How?

You seriously saying that because he didn't light up a defense ARod was having problems with given he had no practice or prep time that he's not good?

You saw a light in Anthony Dilweg too ? :rs:

[Joemailman]

So who's the brave soul who is going to start next week's Official Game Day Thread? :bang:

[Cheesehead Craig]

Light up? :lol: To win this game you needed just turning on the frecking light switch.
So no real rationale for your point then? That's fine.

[mmmdk]

So no real rationale for your point then? That's fine.

Why so rational? And how are you making sense? His stock is down; that pretty rational.

[Joemailman]

Why so rational? And how are you making sense? His stock is down; that pretty rational.

I'm not sure it's rational to say that the stock of a QB who played behind a sieve of an offensive line is down. If the team around him was playing well, and he didn't produce, then perhaps your point would be valid. I think the play of the offensive line makes it difficult to really evaluate Flynn today.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Why so rational? And how are you making sense? His stock is down; that pretty rational.
You haven't made any argument or sense yet.

[Freak Out]

So who's the brave soul who is going to start next week's Official Game Day Thread? :bang:

I will.

[mmmdk]

You haven't made any argument or sense yet.

You're defending a guy who isn't even a Mr. August? You cherish his football card that highly? A lot can be said to defend Flynn tonight, bad OL, not enough reps & bad calls by Stubby but Flynn simply didn't deliver on that 81 yard drive and threw the pick hence Lions drove for the lead and the win. But talent always shines - I saw meek talent tonight. Flynn looked toothless as in all of his pre-season games. Flynn can manage an offense but hasn't got "it" (as of now). Late blooming isn't out of the question.

Lastly, Craig, frek your "how so?" attitude! You'll be working allllll night to conjure up the magic Flynn talent yourself. Oh, wait, you haven't and you won't! I'm waiting.

[Iron Mike]

Colledge injury really hurt.

From JSO:

Guard Daryn Colledge, who left the game early with a knee injury, on Facebook: "I'm sorry. I wasn't even in the fight. One of the most disappointing games ever."

Sorry?? You haven't been in the fight THE ENTIRE YEAR!!!!!

We need to keep Sitton and Bulaga and get three other players who can play. I would not be against going after Mankins in the offseason.

How about the entire career? Good grief, he is the Packer player that I like LEAST!

Yep Colledge needs to go, so does Splitz. We need a new o-line.

Overall, they have played better this year. That being said, they are still not good. The quality of the players is the best that it has been since Wahle and Rivera left, but they don't play well together.

I believe that we are lacking a quality LG and perhaps a RT. Based on where you drafted Bulaga, you have to let him play at LT next year. If he doesn't make it there, we have a quality RT for years to come, I'd think. I do not believe that our LG is on the roster. Our RT (Lang), might be. Time will tell.

Long way to go. the OL has been our achilles heel for 4 years running now.

Boy, the OL's performance tonight and last week against SF was disturbing. I thought they were heading in the right direction but both teams got constant pressure w/o blitzing. I dont know about anyone else but it seemed to me that Buluga watched his guy hit or chase our QB most of the day today. Not a very good game by him, hopefully he will bounce back.

Both tackles were getting beat pretty badly.

All I can say is that I am glad I left at halftime to cut down the XMas tree.

As for the game, the O line had another horrible game on turf. And Wells will need to be replaced of Suh is going to own the Packers for 10 years.

I disagree. From the start, there have been those who felt that Bulaga's best position is LG, and that he has the potential to be a Pro Bowl player there. If that's the case, putting him there and drafting another Tackle this year might make sense. Whatever they do, I think they need someone better than Colledge at LG, and won't improve much as a unit until they do.

Maybe you're right. But I don't think you make that move without letting him wash out at LT. But you make a great point. That's kind of what happened with Gallery in Oakland.

Colledge is definitely the weak link on the line, but Wells isn't far behind. Today really exposed him for what he is, and that's marginal. Love the guys effort, if we could give that effort to Colledge we'd really have someone who could play, but Wells is not capable of playing against Suh now, and the guy is a rookie. Give Suh another year, and, well lets not go there.

Let me get this straight, game on the line 4th quarter, a minute and change, AND YOU RUN THE BALL WITH THE WORST RB IN THE ENTIRE NFL???????

That was a call I understood at least, even if it didn't work. They had gone done the field using pass only and shotgun with no huddle. Need 1.5 yards for a first, run out of shotgun (I think, I was on radio by then) makes sense with 3 TOs and in their half of the field.

So who's the brave soul who is going to start next week's Official Game Day Thread? :bang:

I can do it. Nothing to lose I guess!

[Cheesehead Craig]

You're defending a guy who isn't even a Mr. August? You cherish his football card that highly? A lot can be said to defend Flynn tonight, bad OL, not enough reps & bad calls by Stubby but Flynn simply didn't deliver on that 81 yard drive and threw the pick hence Lions drove for the lead and the win. But talent always shines - I saw meek talent tonight. Flynn looked toothless as in all of his pre-season games. Flynn can manage an offense but hasn't got "it" (as of now). Late blooming isn't out of the question.

Lastly, Craig, frek your "how so?" attitude! You'll be working allllll night to conjure up the magic Flynn talent yourself. Oh, wait, you haven't and you won't! I'm waiting.

My apologies,
Looking back this was a stupid fight to have and I shouldn't have been taking my anger from the game out on you.

Carry on.

I guess this disproves the theory that the Packers are a Dome team anyway.

If a dome doesn't collapse, is it still a dome?
