OFFICIAL GREEN BAY PACKERS vs. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES GAME DAY THREAD

[Brando19]

as much as I loath most shortened names, C-crab may be likable

How about T-Crab?

[pbmax]

I'm wearing my Woodson Jersey and Packers hat. My wife just posted a pic of me on facebook standing in front of our tv watching the game ....I feel betrayed.

Link or it didn't happen!

[red]

How is Finley? Could he have played if not on IR?

i don't know if he could have

he got that infection back in november where they had to go back in so i don't know if that would have set him way back or not

[Brando19]

Link or it didn't happen!

HAHAHAHA!!!! It's on her facebook. She has betrayed me.

[mmmdk]

a Crosby BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

Finally letting him kick it....no squibby call from Stubby. :lol:

[mmmdk]

Is Chuck ok?

[Packers4Glory]

gimme more Starks! he was the secret weapon in waiting.

[red]

man thats nice getting 5-6 yards on 1st down

[red]

Is Chuck ok?

he was limping pretty good, but no doctors are around him on the sidline

[Jimx29]

yikes....

[red]

come on kuhn

[gbgary]

Take it easy, Tramon!

Man, I hate having him return.

i'm right there with ya.

[Jimx29]

man...we should of lost that one

[mmmdk]

Fumble

[Bretsky]

HUGE RECOVERY

[Jimx29]

even phillie fans route KUUUHN!!! :lol;

[red]

first down

nice job by kuhn fighting to get it back

time for play action-long

[AtlPackFan]

Wow, Big break!

[mmmdk]

Alert Kuhn...the legend grows. :lol:

[pbmax]

THAT was a very nice play , the pass to Kuhn.

[Bretsky]

nice use of screen

[gbgary]

another good play by kuhn.

[mmmdk]

Kuhn is a smart football player!

[pbmax]

Nice dumpoff to QJ with some improving hands.

[Packers4Glory]

QJ with a little move for a 1st. Nice.

[AtlPackFan]

Nice escape Rodgers

[Jimx29]

hands off our johnson

[gbgary]

yes...keep the drive alive.

[Bretsky]

nice turn by Quinn Johnson; he's playing better

Next year it may be time to cut Hall and go with two FB's

[Bossman641]

MM bringin out the big sets today. A lot of 2 TE, 1 WR sets.

[packer4life]

MM bringin out the big sets today. A lot of 2 TE, 1 WR sets.

haven't broken out 5 wide shotgun yet...im shocked to be honest

[RashanGary]

With the exception of the long bomb in the 1st quarter that we missed on, this looks exactly like the Flynn game plan that we used against NE. I love this brand of football and because we're doing it this way, when we do stretch it out, they're not going to see it coming.

[RashanGary]

haha. . . Aikman just said the same thing. Bright minds :)

[Jimx29]

Starks/mastay MVPS!

[mmmdk]

Starks to the hole

[gbgary]

starks for the first down

[RashanGary]

WTF was that?

[Packers4Glory]

blitz philly..blitz more

[wootah]

Johnson should stop the brainfarts. He's the James Jones of the RB's...

[gbgary]

good catch by jennings

[wootah]

First "Belt"-sighting :)

[mmmdk]

A thing of beauty, AR.

[mmmdk]

good catch by jennings

+ 1

[gbgary]

jj td

[Jimx29]

MAN THE o-lINE IS RIDING HIGH RIGHT NOW!

[packer4life]

TUDDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[red]

wow

this team is clicking

[red]

atlanta should be shitting themselves right now

[mmmdk]

AR TO FERGY (JJ)

[RashanGary]

We are spanking their asses. This is where the Packers get ultra dangerous. The Eagles are going to have to start playing the run and when they do. . . . They're screwed.

[VegasPackFan]

It's true that if STARKS is gonna step up now, we are nearly impossible to stop. Could you even imagine if Jermichael were on this team right now!

[Brando19]

I really like James Jones and hope he's a Packer for many more years. Man I hope the D continues to thrive...let's put this one away by the start of the 4th!

[mmmdk]

Last PO game in Philly...we were up 14-0 too. Remember who we are before we crown who we want to be :lol:

[RashanGary]

Please cover thsi kick!

[Packers4Glory]

still lotta game left to screw up.

[Bretsky]

nice hang time on kickoff; I keep hoping ST don't screw things up. So far so good

[Bossman641]

Good awareness by Rodgers and Jones. It looked like that was supposed to be a middle TE screen to Lee.

[RashanGary]

Finley, Grant, Jolly and Neal. . . .

[RashanGary]

nice hang time on kickoff; I keep hoping ST don't screw things up. So far so good

Wind is in our face now. Before it was at our back. Great job though with the wind in our face. I was scared before we covered that the way we did.

[pbmax]

Way too much tme n pocket

[Packers4Glory]

Finley was the big injury that held this team back this yr. If Finley is there the offense is unstoppable..by any defense.

[RashanGary]

Bishop had poor depth on his coverage there.

[mmmdk]

Philly OL picking Chuck up

[Packers4Glory]

wonder what they shot up Jackson w/ to get him back out there.

I feel like if it were Jennings who had that injury...we'd not see him again the rest of the night.

[Jimx29]

poor acting :p

[Bretsky]

Great Play by Raji

[Jimx29]

wonder what they shot up Jackson w/ to get him back out there.

I feel like if it were Jennings who had that injury...we'd not see him again the rest of the night.

With the season on the line, he'd be back out

[mmmdk]

ROCKET BJ RAJI

[red]

raji becoming a stud

[Bretsky]

big play here; I'd give a field goal

[RashanGary]

The Vick factor. It was going to happen.

[Jimx29]

man....ya gotta make him pay for that

[Bretsky]

dammit; who is shadowing Vick there ??

[Packers4Glory]

defense bending.

[gbgary]

come Packer D!

[AtlPackFan]

No one.

[mmmdk]

Vick just flat footed Hawk. Nothing you can do.

[Jimx29]

dead hands again

[red]

COME ON D

hold em to a FG

[Bretsky]

contain Vick here; just give up 3

[Brando19]

contain Vick here; just give up 3

Or a David Akers miss would be nice.

[pbmax]

dammit; who is shadowing Vick there ??

It was all coverage on that one. They showed Chuck retreating.

[AtlPackFan]

Big play here. Don't want to let them back in the game!!!

[red]

great stop d

[Bretsky]

was worried when they just rushed 3 but it worked

[pbmax]

Bush!!!!

[gbgary]

way to go Packer D!

[red]

why didn't we call a timout there?

[Packers4Glory]

can we get those 3 back before the half? we have the time outs.

[mmmdk]

Late hit by Clay? Not called.

[Willard]

Let's go 70 sec offense!

[Bossman641]

Should have taken a TO there

[AtlPackFan]

Nice stop. More than enough time w/a good return to maybe get the 3 back.

[red]

starks to return the kick?

[mmmdk]

Let's go 70 sec offense!

Let's spend 37 secs per play...:lol:

[AtlPackFan]

So much for a return. !:-)

[red]

MM- "victory formation"

[Bretsky]

I think I'd just run the clock out as well and take a 14-3 lead into halftime

[red]

WTF?

m3 has to have a massive pussy

[Bretsky]

I'd run it three times and go in with the lead; this is stupid

[gbgary]

Q

[Bretsky]

OK; I am happy to be wrong

[mmmdk]

Q

[Packers4Glory]

y take so long to call TO? burned 5 or so sec after the play.

[red]

helmet to helmet hit anyone?

15 yard penalty please?

[wootah]

DAMNED

[packer4life]

another drop

[mmmdk]

Helmet to helmet...pony up 40 K # 22

[gbgary]

omg

[Bretsky]

fuckin James fuckin Jones

[pbmax]

Unbelievable

[Packers4Glory]

wow. just wow. Jones. really???

[red]

YOU FUCKING DUMB MOTHER FUCKING WORTHLESS ASSHOLE. JAMES FUCKING JOMES- FUCK YOU

[mmmdk]

JJ = ASS HAT

[pbmax]

Helmet to helmet...pony up 40 K # 22

Nope. Not a defenseless player.

[packer4life]

catches a TD, drops a huge difference maker...basically status quo for that ASS FUCKER

[red]

come on mike get the fucking call in asshole

[packers11]

UNNNNNN FUCKINGGGGGGG REAL

[Bossman641]

Fuck you Jones

[Freak Out]

LOL! Jones.....better make up for it chump.

[wootah]

BJack has a knack of always running where the most opponents are.

[Packers4Glory]

game changer...dropped. killer instinct of james jones is nill

[mission]

Nope. Not a defenseless player.

Ok Troy.

What does that have to do with leaving the ground and leading with your helmet? He'll be fined, regardless of how Aikman tried to explain it.

[Brando19]

Earlier in this thread, I took up for Jones. Well....now you're on your own you dropping assclown.

[red]

wow, should be 21-3 with us getting the ball back to start the second half

i'm getting sick of the pussy fucking attitude towards scoring by mccarthy

[Packers4Glory]

Rodgers has to be thinking "WTF do I have to do to win a playoff game?? Pass it to myself and run it in?"

[pbmax]

Ok Troy.

What does that have to do with leaving the ground and leading with your helmet? He'll be fined, regardless of how Aikman tried to explain it.

Were his feet of the ground?

[packer4life]

Ok Troy.

What does that have to do with leaving the ground and leading with your helmet? He'll be fined, regardless of how Aikman tried to explain it.

i dont technically think he "launched". one foot was planted so i dont think it will be a fine.

[VegasPackFan]

I DONT WANT TO SEE JAMES JONES ON THIS TEAM ANYMORE!!!!!!! YOU SUCK!!!!

[gbgary]

can't believe the give up by mm there...with a time out left even.

[mmmdk]

Ok, so JJ is better than Fergy but JJ just doesn't have great hands/concentration.

[AtlPackFan]

How many drops is that today. Jennings 1, now Jones. Am I missing any??? :-(

[red]

bench jones for the rest of the game

he has to learn someway, obviously nothing anyone has already tries has worked

[rbaloha1]

JJ is not a money player. Please media -- stop mentioning the Packers have the best receiving core.

[Joemailman]

BJack has a knack of always running where the most opponents are.

He's lonely.

[mission]

It was 'barely', but both feet were off the ground for a moment.

[pbmax]

wow, should be 21-3 with us getting the ball back to start the second half

i'm getting sick of the pussy fucking attitude towards scoring by mccarthy

They took their shot and the Eagles are doing everything they can to avoid being beaten deep. No reason to force a drive with plays into the teeth of the defense with less than a minute after that drop.

[VegasPackFan]

I am flabbergasted by the fact that the play is obviously intended to go to JJ and why would you do that when this assclown cant catch a sure thing to save his life? Seriously that is the last straw - TT needs to jettison this douche. A WR that cant catch!! Lets trade for Darrius Heyward Bey.

[Packers4Glory]

James Jones....you know where this is going. Just catch the fucking ball today man.


Hopefully the legend of Jams Jones starts today the same way TO started his legend against us in the playoffs. TO was plagued with drops through his career too and he speaks in the 3rd person.

Of course, TO is 2nd after Jerry Rice in all time receiving yards. Jones, at best, is a poor mans Owens.

Fail

[gbgary]

bench jones for the rest of the game

he has to learn someway, obviously nothing anyone has already tries has worked

overreaction

[Fosco33]

Damnit JJ - catch the fricken ball. Man - he has the worst hands on the team.

WRs have been just average today.

Arod playing huge. Starks came to play. I'm quickly becoming a Walden fan.

Keep the pressure up on Vick.

Need to get a couple turnovers and take advantage when we've got the wind.

Keep the intensity up - only way to win a playoff game on the road.

[sheepshead]

Draft a couple WR's. JJ has to go.

[Bossman641]

The Jones drop aside, not much to complain about. Keep it going in the third quarter and start it off with a TD drive.

[red]

overreaction

not at all

you can't accept that. if he does his job and catches that then this game is pretty much over

[Jimx29]

Only worry I have as of right now is if m3 fucks with the 1st half game plan. It's one big worry actually......

[Lurker64]

I was about to write "good first half, so far so good" and then James Jones had to go and make me sad.

Darn you James Jones! I do not wish to be sad!

[red]

i'm worried that we completely dominated the first half and we're only up 11

[Bretsky]

bench jones for the rest of the game

he has to learn someway, obviously nothing anyone has already tries has worked


You can't bench your #3 WR in a playoff game

You bringing back Bill Schroeder to replace the guy ?

Coach Red, you are fired :)

[Packers4Glory]

bench jones for the rest of the game

he has to learn someway, obviously nothing anyone has already tries has worked

He needs his ass chewed out by his QB...If he hasn't yet. there is no other way. Can't afford to bench him now. That lesson needed to be taught during the season by being inactive.

[packer4life]

not at all

you can't accept that. if he does his job and catches that then this game is pretty much over

this is the playoffs. keep your best in. accept JJ for JJ. Regroup and let's get this 2nd half wrapped up with some consistent offense. We might be up 14-3 but every other snap I feel like we are doing something stupid. Ball security is a must!

[pbmax]

Only worry I have as of right now is if m3 fucks with the 1st half game plan. It's one big worry actually......

Well, the Eagles are going to change the D, don't you think? Or do they ignore Starks?

[Fosco33]

1st half summary:

GB - PHI

1st downs (13 - 5)
3rd down (85% - 29%)
Net yards (178 - 125)
Sacks (1 - 0)
Turnovers (1 - 0)

Vick only has 28 yards - I'll take that again for 2nd half. Starks halfway to 100.
Need to score 28+ to get a shot at ATL.

[channtheman]

I am flabbergasted by the fact that the play is obviously intended to go to JJ and why would you do that when this assclown cant catch a sure thing to save his life? Seriously that is the last straw - TT needs to jettison this douche. A WR that cant catch!! Lets trade for Darrius Heyward Bey.

I'm shocked that all those plays are designed for Jones as well. Just think if we had a good receiver on those plays! That's at least 2 TD drops I can remember but even more I'm sure.

[Joemailman]

If the Packers don't get a TD at the start of the 2nd half, I'll go from uneasy to nervous. This game is too reminiscent of 2003 right now.

[Willard]

2 sacks: bishop and claymaker

[gbgary]

not at all

you can't accept that. if he does his job and catches that then this game is pretty much over

this isn't the preseason. yes the drop was bad but you don't bench him. we need him. he made a good catch of a low ball for a td earlier. he knows he fucked up. he'll make yp for it.

[packers11]

If the Packers don't get a TD at the start of the 2nd half, I'll go from uneasy to nervous. This game is too reminiscent of 2003 right now.

I agree.... I am still scared shitless

[pbmax]

I'm shocked that all those plays are designed for Jones as well. Just think if we had a good receiver on those plays! That's at least 2 TD drops I can remember but even more I'm sure.

Its tough, but you have to get your perception away from the result. McCarthy can't guarantee the defense's coverage when he calls the play. The defense has a say in who gets the ball. To say all his throws were planned is probably not the reality.

[channtheman]

Packers need to watch for an onside kick here.

[mmmdk]

Be aggressive, offense. Play faster, execute & good things will happen.

[Bretsky]

NO MISTAKES OR TURNOVERS THIS HALF

[channtheman]

Its tough, but you have to get your perception away from the result. McCarthy can't guarantee the defense's coverage when he calls the play. The defense has a say in who gets the ball. To say all his throws were planned is probably not the reality.

I know, but Jones consistently seems to get open on that play. Wish it wasn't him who was open.

[pbmax]

Late hit?

[Packers4Glory]

Special Teams sure is special

[mmmdk]

WE NEED A TRUE RETURN GUY

[Jimx29]

nice 1st play

[Bretsky]

bare minimum grind it out and get a few first downs; nice start with Starks

A nice roll out high % play to TE or RB would be nice here

[Packers4Glory]

Time for more Nelson instead of Jones tho

[RashanGary]

James Jones makes me SICK.

[Jimx29]

Rodgers still having all day. Great o-line playing

[Bretsky]

there we go getting too dam smart
we were shooting for a home run
it was not there and now we have a 3rd down

[Jimx29]

yikes.....

[Bretsky]

stupid shitfaces..........waste a TO there............

[channtheman]

I am so sick of hearing about our good wide receivers. Every single one of them is good for 1-2 drops a game.

[mmmdk]

Not a good start. Frek it!

[channtheman]

there we go getting too dam smart
we were shooting for a home run
it was not there and now we have a 3rd down

Did you see that Driver dropped the pass?

[Bretsky]

WE NEED A TRUE RETURN GUY


I don't even remember what it's like to have one

[Jimx29]

there we go getting too dam smart
we were shooting for a home run
it was not there and now we have a 3rd down

m3 fuckin with the game plan already

[packers11]

I am so sick of hearing about our good wide receivers. Every single one of them is good for 1-2 drops a game.

+1 .... honestly... they make spectacular catches but miss the easier shit

[Bretsky]

Did you see that Driver dropped the pass?


I know I know......just would have liked to see a high % play call there to get the first

[Jimx29]

fuck........

[RashanGary]

Fuck!

[mission]

here we go again..........

[Bretsky]

YUP............nice call on 2nd and two

[channtheman]

I think this game might be over. Yes we still have the lead but I don't feel good about this game.

[Brando19]

Oh no...holy crap.

[pbmax]

Announceers are wrong, it was Colledge's guy who knocked it loose.

[Freak Out]

Momentum......

[Packers4Glory]

how to lose:

Drop TD pass
Crappy return
Turnover deep inside your own territory.

[mmmdk]

OMG :shock:

[RashanGary]

Is Woodson OK?

[Brando19]

I think this game might be over. Yes we still have the lead but I don't feel good about this game.


Dude....COME ON!!! Enough with the lack of confidence.

[Bretsky]

Rodgers can't give up that fumble

[Jimx29]

I think this game might be over. Yes we still have the lead but I don't feel good about this game.

beat me to it.

[RashanGary]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pbmax]

Is Bush playing dime?

[Packers4Glory]

how to lose:

Drop TD pass
Crappy return
Turnover deep inside your own territory.

give up TD after fumble

[RashanGary]

Those idiot Philly fans are going nuts now. Come on guys.

[MadScientist]

What a shitty way to start the half.

[Bretsky]

Anytime I hear the name of Bush on defense something is very very very very very very very very very very WRONG

[Freak Out]

Time to fight now.

[mmmdk]

...so how do we beat the Falcons?

[Bretsky]

OK; we are winning 14-10; nothing wrong with this

AROD, go win a playoff game
we have a four point lead and you have the ball

[AtlPackFan]

Way to start the 2nd half. :-(

[pbmax]

m3 fuckin with the game plan already

C'mon. Its been three plays.

[Bossman641]

Game over? You guys do realize we are up right? Have some confidence.

[VegasPackFan]

Typical Packer BS where we dominate but somehow end up warring in the game

[Packers4Glory]

James Jones, Momentum Killer extraordinaire!

[Bretsky]

NO MISTAKES OR TURNOVERS THIS HALF


so much for my wish

[rbaloha1]

Why is Bush out there? Every qb always target him with bad results for the Pack.

[Packers4Glory]

another good return for ST. great field position!

[gbgary]

dang it. this td, the jones drop, and the mm give up (when we could have got three points back), is worrying. got to get the mo back. COME ON PACK!

[mmmdk]

...it all started with the JJ TD drop.

[mmmdk]

Things to do when you're up by 4 in Philly.

[Jimx29]

1st down

[pbmax]

Colledge beat on the run block. Great hit and hold on the ball for Driver.

[Jimx29]

helmet to helmet

[Bretsky]

key to get a first down there

[Jimx29]

settle down team

[gbgary]

that was a dumb play

[RashanGary]

Yeah! DD

[Bretsky]

not the greatest throw but huge catch by Driver

[Jimx29]

nice in stride pass and cath DD :p

[Packers4Glory]

dang it. this td, the jones drop, and the mm give up (when we could have got three points back), is worrying. got to get the mo back. COME ON PACK!

this team and it coaches find new ways to clench their ass cheeks hard enough to turn great gma's ashes into diamonds

[mmmdk]

DD stepping up on this drive.

[pbmax]

Starks, go baby!

[wootah]

Yihaa, James Starks!

[RashanGary]

Jackson = No long a Packer. Grant, Starks and whoever else.

[Jimx29]

maan....lowers his noggin and goes nutz...soemthing we haven't seen in GB for along time

[Bretsky]

nice job...........we run when the D is off balance

Come back with a play action pass

[pbmax]

this team and it coaches find new ways to clench their ass cheeks hard enough to turn great gma's ashes into diamonds

Time for your Midol.

[red]

this is exactly what happens when you have a coach with no killer instinct that takes his foot off the gas in the middle of a game

coming out of the two minute warning we stop them on third down, instead of using one of our two timouts we let 40 seconds run off the clock. when we finally get the ball back we run a draw on first down

we gave momentum back to then right there

[Packers4Glory]

I'm so glad we kept Starks on the DL hidden awaiting his unveiling in the playoffs.

[Jimx29]

Jackson = No long a Packer. Grant, Starks and whoever else.

^^what he said^

[Bretsky]

it's key to at least score here
also nice to let the D regroup
