WEEK 3 OFFICIAL GAME DAY THREAD.......GREEN BAY PACKERS VS. DA BEARS

[mmmdk]

At least you are consistent. :D

Thanx!

[red]

is it just me or is tramon not looking as good this year?

[pittstang5]

am i the only one that thinks that looks corney?

It looks like stargate and Jurassic park had a baby and it's named Terra-Nova

[denverYooper]

Come on D!

[gbgary]

am i the only one that thinks that looks corney?

nope. that show will be short lived.

[pittstang5]

That's twice Peprah fell down.

[Packers4Glory]

I think its official. we have no pass rush outside of Mathews and the pass defense sucks to high hell

[denverYooper]

Guys in the secondary have fallen down 3 times in last 4 plays.

[mmmdk]

So far Mason "weak leg" Crosby has been outkicked on kickoffs in 3/3 games this year. As in, at least 3 kickers have stronger legs than him. I don't know why people say Crosby has a strong leg.

Beats me too!

[red]

It looks like stargate and Jurassic park had a baby and it's named Terra-Nova

it looks like something that should be on the syfy channel

[channtheman]

Peprah is there but his attempt at the ball is non-existant.

[denverYooper]

That's twice Peprah fell down.

Yea. And Tramon fell down on the long completion to Hester Prynne.

[mmmdk]

is it just me or is tramon not looking as good this year?

Manicure needed?

[imscott72]

Peprah needs to change cleats..

[red]

I think its official. we have no pass rush outside of Mathews and the pass defense sucks to high hell

yeah, i'm starting to worry

chicago has the worst o-line in football and we can't get any pressure, that's something to worry about

[pittstang5]

Need a T.O.

[pbmax]

Nice coverage there from Tramontana. Wonder how his shoulder is.

[red]

there's a nice play by t-will

[denverYooper]

LOL. Troy: "Mike Martz would love to pound the ball here".

When?

[mmmdk]

Tramon looked great on that play!

[red]

nice play bishop

[Packers4Glory]

FG stop here would be huge

[gbgary]

That's twice Peprah fell down.

cm fell down earlier too. many on both teams.

[Fred's Slacks]

Force FG would be nice here.

[mmmdk]

BISHOP

[Packers4Glory]

this defense is terrible

[channtheman]

And boom goes the dynamite.

[pbmax]

Can't have 3 man rush there. Someone needs to get home.

[denverYooper]

Poor coverage by Wynn there.

lol.

[red]

shit, we wasted our chance to blow them out early

now cutler is on

[pittstang5]

WHy...Why did they only rush three.

[mmmdk]

Frek it!

[channtheman]

I thought people always argued the 3 man rush was good... at least when I complain about it they do.

[Fred's Slacks]

Frek it is right.

[Packers4Glory]

terrible O-line and Cutler has all day and a week to find guys free

[denverYooper]

shit, we wasted our chance to blow them out early

now cutler is on

Don't worry. Cutler has a few more picks left in that arm!

[pittstang5]

I thought people always argued the 3 man rush was good... at least when I complain about it they do.


IMO, it's ok to use when you're against third and long...but on the goal line, and you're fairly sure they will throw.....make a statement, bring the house!

[pbmax]

I thought people always argued the 3 man rush was good... at least when I complain about it they do.

Problem is short yardage is that almost any throw is a threat to score. third and long its not the same kind of threat.

[Packers4Glory]

who woulda thunk the defense would look so bad minus ONE guy...Jenkins?

[Fred's Slacks]

Grants looking good today. Nice to see.

[gbgary]

did anyone actually think we were gonna pitch a shut out today? we'll be fine.

[channtheman]

The Bears are just jumping offsides like crazy.

[denverYooper]

Problem is short yardage is that almost any throw is a threat to score. third and long its not the same kind of threat.

Yeah, and they forgot to drop Raji into coverage. He's their DL coverage ace.

[red]

who woulda thunk the defense would look so bad minus ONE guy...Jenkins?

we're missing that collins guy too

[gbgary]

we're missing that collins guy too

yup

[denverYooper]

Grant's having the better game so far.

[wpony]

stupid

[channtheman]

I'd argue if you give a QB all day on 3rd and 15 he will find someone who gets open eventually. Seen it happen way too many times to ever want to call it myself.

Oh geez Starks just run like you are good at. Stop dancing.

[pbmax]

That was a bad decision by Starks. That delay cost him yardage,

[Fred's Slacks]

Starks looks bad today. He needed to take that outside.

[Packers4Glory]

starks running hesitantly. yeah he is so far and away our best back..PUH-LEEZ

[red]

why did starks just cut back into the middle where everyone was?

that should be unsportsmanlike

[Packers4Glory]

we're missing that collins guy too

they sucked with him tho. gave up 800+ passing yards in TWO effing games...one of which was a rookie QB not known for being terribly accurate.

[mmmdk]

McCarthy looks mad! Sloppy O play.

[channtheman]

Our defense has sucked this year, and our offense is really good at stopping itself. Either through playcalling or poor decision making by the players, we can look like shit at times.

[red]

that house commercial is just silly

there isn't that many white guys in prison

[pittstang5]

McCarthy looks mad! Sloppy O play.


He should be, pad level is horrible today.

[denverYooper]

they sucked with him tho. gave up 800+ passing yards in TWO effing games...one of which was a rookie QB not known for being terribly accurate.

Jenkins didn't help the Eagles defense not give up an assload of big plays today.

[channtheman]

Why wasn't that a delay of game penalty on Tillman?

[pbmax]

McCarthy looks mad! Sloppy O play.

No, he is mad about no cal on Tillman.

[channtheman]

Nice catch by Jordy. Great hands.

[pbmax]

Jenkins didn't help the Eagles defense not give up an assload of big plays today.

No, no, he is the key to everything.

[red]

nice catch and run there jordy

[Fred's Slacks]

Nice catch Jordy.

[gbgary]

stickum on jordy's hands

[mmmdk]

Fabulous play by AR & Jordy.

[channtheman]

That's why you pay the man! :lol:

Good to see Jones get a catch finally.

[red]

hey, its that jones guy

[pittstang5]

that house commercial is just silly

there isn't that many white guys in prison

HA HA...Nice one!

[mmmdk]

JJ sighting!

[Packers4Glory]

please..no James Jones fumble. Seems the bears get him every time. In reality it was prolly once but it feels like every time they play the bears

[channtheman]

Grant looking like the Grant of old for the first time this year!

[red]

Grants Back

[Packers4Glory]

Grant! boom

[pbmax]

Great cutback Ryan!

[gbgary]

whoa. grant.

[Fred's Slacks]

Nice having 2 good backs. Ride the hot hand.

[mmmdk]

Grant looks YOUNG today.

[pittstang5]

hey, its that jones guy

Know what I said when he caught it..."Just don't fumble it"

[Bossman641]

Grant looking really good.

[wpony]

grant looks better than starks today go figure?

[denverYooper]

So this Grant guy is not too bad, eh?

[Packers4Glory]

geezus i could see Newhouse getting that false start the entire time.

[imscott72]

Grant looks great today. Starks not so much..

[pbmax]

starks running hesitantly. yeah he is so far and away our best back..PUH-LEEZ

He is, but not every game, nor every defense or gameplan is the best for each player.

[channtheman]

please..no James Jones fumble. Seems the bears get him every time. In reality it was prolly once but it feels like every time they play the bears

No Jones fumbled twice against the Bears in 2007 in a loss to them and then he fumbled on a potentially game winning drive against them last year I think. He does fumble a lot against the Bears.

[pittstang5]

to be expect from newhouse, not a big deal, just don't do it again.

[Fred's Slacks]

Lets go marshall

[red]

please..no James Jones fumble. Seems the bears get him every time. In reality it was prolly once but it feels like every time they play the bears

everybody has fumbling problems against the bears

they teach their players how to go get the ball

[wpony]

oh god

[Packers4Glory]

here we go. get into FG range and start moving backwards

[denverYooper]

Sweet. This must be by design because the Packers do it a lot. Maybe it's some kind of motivational tactic.

[pittstang5]

Oh my, what is going on.

[Fred's Slacks]

No excuse for delay of game.

[mmmdk]

AR, that was sloppy - stop chewing at your linemen.

[red]

yeah, the field fucking sucks

[channtheman]

This field is unbelievable shitty. They say a pro football team plays here?

[Freak Out]

Only in Chicago.

[gbgary]

electrical from the heated field? sprinkler part?

[red]

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS THAT????

jesus christ, big fucking spike sticking in the ground

STAY CLASSY CHICAGO

[mmmdk]

Worst field ever - disgrace!

[Bossman641]

This field is an embarrassment.

[channtheman]

Terrible camera coverage on that last pass. Back it up so we can see the field!

[imscott72]

What a shock..Shit conditions at Soldier Field..

[red]

jones doesn't even fucking try for the ball, good grief

[pbmax]

I think it was an anchor for the new sod.

Finley with nice run after catch.

Previously, Jones stopped his route to sit in a hole in zone, Rodgers threw the original route. Like the back shoulder throw, that kind of thing takes time.

[wpony]

nobody said a pro football team played there they said the bears played there

[denverYooper]

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS THAT????

jesus christ, big fucking spike sticking in the ground

STAY CLASSY CHICAGO

It's like that BW3 commercial, where the guy pops the sprinkler up on the kicker. Except whoever is working it is a rook.

[channtheman]

nobody said a pro football team played there they said the bears played there

well played.

[Packers4Glory]

Urlacher calling penalties.

[wpony]

again

[denverYooper]

Uh, what?

[pittstang5]

GIVE ME A F'N BREAK..

[pbmax]

Lang that is four for the year.

Five today for the team

[channtheman]

What the fuck is wrong with this team.

[Fred's Slacks]

Too much emotion = too many penalties.

[mmmdk]

Good grief, Packers - penalties.

[Packers4Glory]

Starks needs to sit down. I'm already sick of him this game.

[pittstang5]

UUUHHHH!

[Fred's Slacks]

Sloppy :(

[red]

3rd and long in the redzone and we go for the screen

hate it

[channtheman]

Lang with a nice false start and then gets in the way of the screen. Shitbag.

[denverYooper]

Nice job by Chicago defensively to cause 2 false starts, a delay of game, and a poor catch by Starks. Errr....

[channtheman]

What confuses me about Crosby is if you back that field goal up 10 yards, he all of a sudden would kick it wide left or right.

[pbmax]

3rd and long in the redzone and we go for the screen

hate it

Loved the call it was open. but I think that throw hit a lineman.

Rodgers hard count has caused as many penalties for the Packers as for the Bears.

[pittstang5]

3rd and long in the redzone and we go for the screen

hate it

Me too, but thinking about it. had he completed and stayed in bounds. More time off the clock and closer FG.

[MJZiggy]

Good god.

[mmmdk]

Our defense; can they step up or are we witnessing them taking a step down from last season?

[Bossman641]

Peprah, get it together

[pittstang5]

ALL DAY, HE HAS ALL DAY.

[Packers4Glory]

pathetic

[gbgary]

dammit

[channtheman]

Pass defense is seriously the worst in the league.

[Packers4Glory]

a whole lotta suck

[Packers4Glory]

whatever Capers is doing he needs to do the opposite

[MJZiggy]

What the hell, people! Get it together!!!

[gbgary]

oops. middle of the field open.

[mmmdk]

It's official: our D is average at best.

[pittstang5]

Oh Fuck it, just let them score so we get the ball back and can get into FG range, then get 5 penalties and give the ball back with 45 seconds left.

[pbmax]

That was a great catch by Forte. No one had him, they expected him to stay in and block.

[channtheman]

whatever Capers is doing he needs to do the opposite

Unfortunately the opposite of sucking is blowing, and I don't think that would help us that much.

[gbgary]

time for an int...

[red]

fuck you bush

[pittstang5]

another reason I hate bush...the player people, just the player.

[Packers4Glory]

Bush you suck.

[denverYooper]

Bush!

[Bretsky]

Bush

[channtheman]

Yeah 9 times out of 10 a Jarrett Bush isn't playing.

[Packers4Glory]

cutler flops

[Bretsky]

anybody else think another pass rusher would be nice.....geez

[denverYooper]

Nice move Clay. Let him think.

[Packers4Glory]

Yeah 9 times out of 10 a Jarrett Bush isn't playing.
not this yr.

[channtheman]

Two in a row. Expect a TD now.

[pbmax]

Now, how many kudos for a stop in the red zone from the crying Nancys in the thread? :)

[Bretsky]

do we eat it or take a shot or two for our own field goal ??

[mmmdk]

anybody else think another pass rusher would be nice.....geez

I agree!

[denverYooper]

Bush had the coverage enough to break up the pass. It just would have been nice if he'd have grabbed it there.

[MJZiggy]

Now, how many kudos for a stop in the red zone from the crying Nancys in the thread? :)

Thank God.

[gbgary]

with a good return we might be able to add something.

[pbmax]

do we eat it or take a shot or two for our own field goal ??

Depends on the return. eat it on 20.

[Bretsky]

Now, how many kudos for a stop in the red zone from the crying Nancys in the thread? :)


It was great seeing them drive 70 yards in a couple minutes......yaaaaa !

[pittstang5]

Even blitzes we're not getting through....against this line. This D is in trouble. Is So'to suited up, i'd like to see what he can do, or even Jones, cause Walden sucks.

[gbgary]

bush has been ok. did i say that our loud?

[channtheman]

Cobb TD on this!

[red]

its so fun not watching returns

THANK YOU NFL

i was too stimulated before

[channtheman]

Cobb TD on this!

Or not.

[pbmax]

It was great seeing them drive 70 yards in a couple minutes......yaaaaa !

3 points better than 7. Just ask the Texans,

[mmmdk]

do we eat it or take a shot or two for our own field goal ??

Go for it - probably playaction run on first play!

[channtheman]

Who bets we do a draw here?

[denverYooper]

Now, how many kudos for a stop in the red zone from the crying Nancys in the thread? :)

Aren't opponents 3/12 or somewhere thereabouts in RZ conversions against this D? They've been good so far...

[channtheman]

That 4 yarder sure put some fear into the Bears here.

[Bretsky]

I am confused; I'll just leave it at that

[red]

i suppose M3 can't find his balls anymore because of that giant fat gut

[mmmdk]

Go for it - probably playaction run on first play!

2nd play then. :lol:

[pittstang5]

So is Cutler going to go over 400 yards today too. I think so.

[red]

I am confused; I'll just leave it at that

you aren't alone

[channtheman]

you aren't alone

29 seconds for 10 yards and then try? Makes sense to me.

[pbmax]

i suppose M3 can't find his balls anymore because of that giant fat gut

The coach does not decide where to throw the ball.

[mmmdk]

Bears start with rock in second half.

[channtheman]

Just what we all want to see. Rodgers getting sacked on a drive that is going nowhere. Fuck you MM.

[pittstang5]

Rogers, c'mon. throw it away

[Packers4Glory]

welp...who feels confident in this defense?

hope the offense comes out hot cuz the defense can't stop anyone.

[pbmax]

The end is near for Clifton. Sherrod must be ready next spring.

Sitton is not having a good game.

[pittstang5]

Bears start with rock in second half.

Just give them 7, They have this defense figured out.

[denverYooper]

Newhouse lost his guy there. He hasn't looked too bad, otherwise.

[red]

The coach does not decide where to throw the ball.

we ran a draw for a few yards, then called a time out. so he figured he wanted point, yet he runs a fucking draw

[Bretsky]

3 points better than 7. Just ask the Texans,


We're playing the Bears....not the Saints.....we already watched our defense get lit up by the Saints. Hard to praise the defense after the long Knox throw and then leaving Forte wide open down the center. I want to compare our defense to the Steelers anyways. Stops with no points deserve praise

[red]

The end is near for Clifton. Sherrod must be ready next spring.

Sitton is not having a good game.

sherrod better be better next week, we need a backup tackle if bulaga is out of any amount of time

[Fosco33]

Who'd guess that Bears (2) would have more sacks than Pack (0) at half?

[red]

you know, i think i threw a fit after the draft after we didn't draft olb help or D-line help. everyone said, that's fine. BPA baby

[Fosco33]

Positives
- No turnovers for Pack and getting one from Cutler
- Grant - 7 for 50
- Forte - only 2 yards at half
- Pack with 2X as many 1st downs

Negatives
- Bears are averaging 8 yards per play... that's 2 X what you want to be in the NFL.
- Penalties - both teams with 5 each... yawn.

[cheesner]

goodness. Packer defense sucks? just give em 7 we can't stop anyone? The bears have figured out this defense?

I had to recheck the score, it sounds like from reading the crap on this forum that the Pack are losing 43-17.

[channtheman]

Our defense does suck.

[denverYooper]

goodness. Packer defense sucks? just give em 7 we can't stop anyone? The bears have figured out this defense?

I had to recheck the score, it sounds like from reading the crap on this forum that the Pack are losing 43-17.

TBH, this is the best they've looked against the Bears in a few years.

[channtheman]

Any idea why our football game started so much later than the other afternoon games?

[Bretsky]

Who'd guess that Bears (2) would have more sacks than Pack (0) at half?

In Chicago I'd probably take that bet; they have to be game planning on Clay and focusing on Raji. At this point I'm not sure who else has stepped up their game in terms of the pass rush. It's all about winning though; a win today solves all concerns for now

[cheesner]

Yes. packer defense sucks. Dom is in charge of the defense. Fire his ass.

[Joemailman]

Peprah needs to play mainly close to the line. He looks lost downfield. Burnett can play downfield.

[channtheman]

Yes. packer defense sucks. Dom is in charge of the defense. Fire his ass.

Agreed

[Packers4Glory]

goodness. Packer defense sucks? just give em 7 we can't stop anyone? The bears have figured out this defense?

I had to recheck the score, it sounds like from reading the crap on this forum that the Pack are losing 43-17.
its not a super bowl caliber defense right now.

[mmmdk]

Short KO...AGAIN. :mad:

[channtheman]

Bout time dammit!

[denverYooper]

Well that was nice.

[red]

WOW, what the hell was that?

[mmmdk]

WYNN WYNN

[cheesner]

its not a super bowl caliber defense right now.

They gave up 10 pts in a half. They aren't out there with their heads up their asses.

[denverYooper]

That wasn't just a sack. It was a train hitting a gremlin.

[channtheman]

Short KO...AGAIN. :mad:

At least someone else noticed! Kicking the other way Crosby could get it out of the endzone, must be windy that way.

[red]

COME ON D, GET FIRED UP

[denverYooper]

WOW, what the hell was that?

That's the sound of Jarius Wynn breaking out.

[cheesner]

3 and out.

Not bad for a collection of sissy boys.

[mmmdk]

Let's roll - score six baby.

[channtheman]

3 and out.

Not bad for a collection of sissy boys.

I think we fired Dom at halftime.

[denverYooper]

Cobb might want to think about fair catching on occasion.

[cheesner]

That's the sound of Jarius Wynn breaking out.

you must be talking about acne because the Packer defense sucks.

[red]

cobb needs to learn how to fair catch, or he'll end up dead

[denverYooper]

I think we fired Dom at halftime.

I think they hired someone related to the Ryans. Because they'll Bring The Heat.

[gbgary]

cobb's not going to be around to play on the o if doesn't learn to call fair catch.

[mmmdk]

Cobb might want to think about fair catching on occasion.

Run, Cobbster, run!

[channtheman]

Starks just having a really bad game today.

[mmmdk]

Find Finley!!!!

[pbmax]

First possession on O out of sync. Wells missed a block.

[denverYooper]

Not bad on that closeup, Newhouse.

[mmmdk]

Newhouse doing ok...so far.

[Packers4Glory]

Let's roll - score six baby.
nah. we want to keep teams in it right till the last play

[denverYooper]

Find Finley!!!!

FAST!

[mmmdk]

Newhouse doing ok...so far.

but not Cliffy!

[denverYooper]

No biggie. The Bears Still Suck!

[channtheman]

That shit pisses me off. If you want to run a safe play, punt on 3rd down. That way if you fumble the snap, you can just punt again on 4th down.

[cheesner]

Forget the defense. The offense sucks. Fire McCarthy!

[cheesner]

Bring in Flynn. MM grow some balls.

[channtheman]

Forget the defense. The offense sucks. Fire McCarthy!

We can only hope.

[mmmdk]

Terrible 1st down call by Stubster; the rest fine just bad execution.

[channtheman]

Forget the defense. The offense sucks. Fire McCarthy!

This. PLEASE!

[denverYooper]

Lolz.

[red]

get bush out of the game, fucker is an embarassment to the team

everytime he doesn't fuck up he jumps around like he just won the super bowl

[pbmax]

We're playing the Bears....not the Saints.....we already watched our defense get lit up by the Saints. Hard to praise the defense after the long Knox throw and then leaving Forte wide open down the center. I want to compare our defense to the Steelers anyways. Stops with no points deserve praise

Preventing 7 is always praiseworthy. Not as worthy as 3 and out, but still worthy. The Packer D has allowed 10 points in a half, so its not the same as teh Sants game either. Teams that only get FGs tend to lose games.

[denverYooper]

get bush out of the game, fucker is an embarassment to the team

everytime he doesn't fuck up he jumps around like he just won the super bowl

That's it. Bush INT comin' up.

[cheesner]

Chan the Man for our next GM! He will get something done. I'm picturing 20 HCs lined up waiting their shot. Soon as 1 bad play, the HC is fired and the next guy is a new HC.

[cheesner]

Only takle for 2 yard loss! If the bears don't loose 5 yards a play, they should all be fired.

[denverYooper]

Clay again.

[pbmax]

Any idea why our football game started so much later than the other afternoon games?

National game always at 4:15 Eastern

[channtheman]

Chan the Man for our next GM! He will get something done. I'm picturing 20 HCs lined up waiting their shot. Soon as 1 bad play, the HC is fired and the next guy is a new HC.

I would extend it to drives rather than plays. If you don't score a TD on a drive, you are fired. Give up a TD, you are fired.

[cheesner]

Crap. 3 and out! A good defense would get the other team to punt on 3rd down. THEY SUUUUCKKK!

[mmmdk]

Cutler our best "defender"! :lol:

[denverYooper]

Cobb listened to the concerned citizens of Packerrats.

Or God.

Whichever.

[channtheman]

National game always at 4:15 Eastern

Oh, didn't know it was the national game (though Buck and Aikman should have given that away). I'm getting Seattle/Arizona here. Packers on Sunday ticket.

[channtheman]

Crap. 3 and out! A good defense would get the other team to punt on 3rd down. THEY SUUUUCKKK!

The 2 and out!

[denverYooper]

Crap. 3 and out! A good defense would get the other team to punt on 3rd down. THEY SUUUUCKKK!

Doesn't matter. When they're protecting a 2 score lead they'll sit back in prevent and give up 900 yards passing.

[red]

Crap. 3 and out! A good defense would get the other team to punt on 3rd down. THEY SUUUUCKKK!

yep our d was awesome forcing cutler to throw those two horrible passes
