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

[cheesner]

Cobb listened to the concerned citizens of Packerrats.

Or God.

Whichever.

Mutually exclusive? Maybe not.

[gbgary]

jimi

[red]

Cobb listened to the concerned citizens of Packerrats.

Or God.

Whichever.

same thing, no?

[channtheman]

Grant looks fast today!

[Packers4Glory]

no more starks today!

[mmmdk]

GRANT MASTER FLASH

[pbmax]

Loved that play by Rodgers.

[Joemailman]

Is Grant just a hell of a lot better than Starks today, or is he getting better blocking?

[pittstang5]

Buluga update? Just got back. Need to vent outside.

[channtheman]

no more starks today!

If we feed the hot hand this should be true.

[Fosco33]

Biggest variance... Rushing.

[pbmax]

GRANT MASTER FLASH

I like this!

[channtheman]

Making fast cuts, getting upfield. Man Grant looks awesome!

[Fosco33]

Buluga update? Just got back. Need to vent outside.

Haven't heard. At least he walked off... Gotta hope for a sprain. tears = no good

[Packers4Glory]

Grant is running like the 1200 yard Grant.

[denverYooper]

Grant brought his bear spray.

[red]

good god grant

great to have you back

[pbmax]

Might be blocking. Grant is in when they have an exta TE or FB in backfield. Mostly its been Crabtree.

[pbmax]

Starks, left was WIDE OPEN!

[Fosco33]

Might be blocking. Grant is in when they have an exta TE or FB in backfield. Mostly its been Crabtree.

Yup. Crab and Sitton apparently. Keep it up.

[Packers4Glory]

starks looks like he's trying out for dancing with the stars today.

[pittstang5]

Starks, you are not auditioning for Dancing with the stars. Knock it off!

[channtheman]

Why sub Starks in? Grant is clearly better today. It was annoying last week when Starks was better and they would put Grant in who would stink it up.

[red]

starks just had 2 massive hole and he runs right between them

[pittstang5]

Went to the hole too many times McCarthy.

[denverYooper]

Packers O is helping Bears D "stiffen up".

[gbgary]

too many runs

[red]

fuck that play

[channtheman]

Geez, this is fucking annoying watching Starks today. Field goal here is still good but come on Starks just fucking RUN!

[Packers4Glory]

terrible. failure to put teams away this yr. Just another example.

[pbmax]

Right play call, Starks helped chip Peppers.

But he danced too much instead of one move on Briggs. One step and move it James.

[Fosco33]

Let's end the debate M3.... how bout trying Starks with Crabtree... bc - by himself, he's ended a number of drives today.

[denverYooper]

Why sub Starks in? Grant is clearly better today. It was annoying last week when Starks was better and they would put Grant in who would stink it up.

Yeah. I thought their strategy was to ride the hot RB. Certainly doesn't look that way.

[Packers4Glory]

Starks, you are not auditioning for Dancing with the stars. Knock it off!repost

[pbmax]

too many runs

Running is the key to winning football. Its the hammer to passing's scythe. In other words, passing is communism.

[Fosco33]

Starks, 9 for 12 with a long of 8

Grant, 10 for 85 with long of 14

[pbmax]

Yeah. I thought their strategy was to ride the hot RB. Certainly doesn't look that way.

He is 3rd down and shotgun back.

[imscott72]

Man, Starks looks awful today..

[channtheman]

No TD, time to fire MM. Childress can get his turn at HC now.

[Joemailman]

Starks channeling his inner Brandon Jackson today.

[Fosco33]

Running is the key to winning football. Its the hammer to passing's scythe. In other words, passing is communism.

Ha... did anyone else see some left wing article about the Packers being an example of Socialism... LoL

[red]

we all know that M3 isn't smart enough to stick with what's working

he always changes gears when he shouldn't

[mmmdk]

Good KO - finally!

[channtheman]

Starks channeling his inner Brandon Jackson today.

hahaha

[denverYooper]

terrible. failure to put teams away this yr. Just another example.

Or you could just say they're better at the end of the game because they've won quite a few this way. PB had an excellent post a couple of weeks back about the "foot on the gas" analogy and M3's likely strategery in just this kind of situation.

At any rate, they've been doing business this way for quite some time.

[pittstang5]

Lucky he dropped that.

[mmmdk]

He hasn't got a Clutis...

[red]

awesome job by our d forcing that guy to drop the ball

[pbmax]

Hwak with nice coverage and it threw Cutler to see that. And he threw it to nowhere.

[channtheman]

awesome job by our d forcing that guy to drop the ball

And then Cutler to throw to no one for some reason.

[pittstang5]

three man rush again i bet

[channtheman]

Jenkins who? WYNN!

[pittstang5]

Nice, it's good to be wrong

[mmmdk]

WYNN MASTER

[pbmax]

Coverage sac, I will take it. Nice pickup of RB by LB took away checkdown

[pbmax]

Don't look now, but Packers winning field position battle. No, I am not sure how.

[red]

what the hell is up with wynn?

looks like complete shit until the regular season started, then he looks awesome

[denverYooper]

He is 3rd down and shotgun back.

Thanks.

I apparently haven't been paying enough attention to situation.

[imscott72]

Jarious!!

[Joemailman]

awesome job by our d forcing that guy to drop the ball

Lighten up, Crankshaft!

[denverYooper]

what the hell is up with wynn?

looks like complete shit until the regular season started, then he looks awesome

He got really pissed about everyone talking about Cullen Jenkins's 3 sacks.

[mmmdk]

Trade JJ

[gbgary]

Packer d comes alive. now the o needs to get a td.

[pbmax]

Memo to Grant and Starks: Stop trying to outrun Briggs.

[red]

danica patrick is a FIB?

thats too bad, i was willing to spray her in the face until i saw that

[channtheman]

Darn. Childress you're fired.

[denverYooper]

Trade JJ

Good call. I wonder if we can get Cullen Jenkins back for him.

[Packers4Glory]

of course we can't get another score here. that would make this game too comfortable

[pittstang5]

So Hawks play in week one was PI, but that wasn't. BS!

[pbmax]

Good job Masthay.

[mmmdk]

Looked like what AJ Hawk did versus Saints - and this was a good PD.

[channtheman]

He is one fatfuck.

[red]

So Hawks play in week one was PI, but that wasn't. BS!

no shit

[denverYooper]

He is one fatfuck.

Good hips though. I bet he could swim a mean butterfly.

[pbmax]

Bears always change coverage in a way that confused Rodgers.

[pbmax]

Flag, he ran into Woodson's back?!

[red]

good job c-wood

[channtheman]

Make up call. Fuckin refs.

[mmmdk]

Bad Chuck

[denverYooper]

Flag, he ran into Woodson's back?!

Good thing the refs aren't as influenced by the audience as the announcers.

[channtheman]

Is that a sack or a negative run?

[pbmax]

These games are always weird.

[mmmdk]

Bad Chuck

As in, he gave refs reason to call it.

[denverYooper]

Lol. "Everybody knew the snap count except the center Garza."

[channtheman]

Yes, our defense put the FEAR into him to make him drop that one.

[pbmax]

God and Peprah got a shot into him too.

He was waiting for the hit and turned around too soon.


EDIT: Good, not God

[gbgary]

time for an int.

[mmmdk]

Knox on wood...got lucky there!

[pittstang5]

Ok, he was wide....WIDE open, lucky for us

[red]

our d is awsome, forcing them offsides, fumbling the snap, and forcing the bears to drop passes that hit them in the face when they're wide open

[cheesner]

Can you imagine how much we would be shutting the bears down if we had even a marginal defense?

[pbmax]

Randall Cobb has no self-reservation instinct.

KYPack was right.

[gbgary]

another stop. now come on o!

[MJZiggy]

Randall Cobb has no self-reservation instinct.

KYPack was right.

Love him while he's here, honey.

[mmmdk]

Great call; great play.

[channtheman]

Can you imagine how much we would be shutting the bears down if we had even a marginal defense?

Mariucci is up at HC if you were wondering. Had to fire MM for a field goal (no TD) drive and Childress for the last drive.

[wpony]

the worst thing about this game is the packers are playing with out any fire we are just walking through the motions were winning because we are good but how can you not be fired up against the bears ?

[red]

why are we still talking about the super bowl. its week 3 of the regular season. we've played 7 freaking games since then

[pbmax]

Finley looks like he hurt his shoulder

[denverYooper]

Can you imagine how much we would be shutting the bears down if we had even a marginal defense?

It'd be like 1997 again...

[mmmdk]

Do the Fin :rock:

[MJZiggy]

why are we still talking about the super bowl. its week 3 of the regular season. we've played 7 freaking games since then

Because Troy can't think of anything else to talk about.

[pbmax]

the worst thing about this game is the packers are playing with out any fire we are just walking through the motions were winning because we are good but how can you not be fired up against the bears ?

Please tell me this is ironic?

[pittstang5]

Randall Cobb has no self-reservation instinct.

KYPack was right.

Amen, I don't know what's more scary, Seeing Cobb field a punt in traffic or remmebering when Blackmon would run from 10 yards deep to field a punt.

[gbgary]

oak killing the jets

[Packers4Glory]

why are we still talking about the super bowl. its week 3 of the regular season. we've played 7 freaking games since then
i approve of this comment. I guess u gotta fill air time

[MJZiggy]

I hate the new Facebook!

[wpony]

no really do you see fire today the packers are playing flat both O and D

[channtheman]

Sweet. Nice throw.

[pbmax]

This just in: Finley is OK. :)

[Guiness]

Lucky he dropped that.

There was really no reason for him to. That was either a case of him starting to run before he completed his catch, or he heard footsteps.

[red]

see, its just that simple. keep throwing to fin

[cheesner]

amaaaazing throw

[mmmdk]

Again :rock:

[MJZiggy]

no really do you see fire today the packers are playing flat both O and D

That looked kinda fiery.

[gbgary]

sticky hands on fin

[cheesner]

Grant sucks. Where's starks?

[pbmax]

no really do you see fire today the packers are playing flat both O and D

Yes, I see it, but a lot of flags, booth review and punting makes the game slow and leads to a lot of standing around. At least, that is what I see.

[pittstang5]

Hey, is Driver ok, Haven't seen him much today/

[channtheman]

Need a TD here to push this to 3 possessions.

[red]

driving the ball, get into red zone, run up the middle for no gain to kill momentum, settle for FG

[denverYooper]

Urlacher has a huge neck.

[mmmdk]

C'mon Stubbster...

[pittstang5]

Again, two runs in the redzone. McCarthy up to his lod tricks, trying to outsmart them

[channtheman]

Yeah baby yeah!

[denverYooper]

That one was for you, Red.

[red]

LOL

its just that easy

[mmmdk]

Triple :rock:

[pbmax]

Those first two plays were M3's 8 minute offense, keeping the clock ticking. That pass and receiver was just sick.

[red]

That one was for you, Red.

i'll take it with pleasure

[channtheman]

Mariucci can stay the head coach for another drive.

[pittstang5]

Let's review this one, just to make sure.

[gbgary]

too.many runs again.

fin td. that's more like it.

[Packers4Glory]

dagger

[cheesner]

driving the ball, get into red zone, run up the middle for no gain to kill momentum, settle for FG
They even fucked this plan up. Heads need to roll in the packer organization.

[MJZiggy]

dagger

Let's not be premature.

[gbgary]

I hate the new Facebook!

i'm right there with ya sista.

[cheesner]

Mariucci can stay the head coach for another drive.

Your out as GM. Too fucking passive. You need to be aggressive and proactive. Why wait for a stalled drive when you know it will eventually happen? Fire him now!

[pittstang5]

There was really no reason for him to. That was either a case of him starting to run before he completed his catch, or he heard footsteps.

Wasn't talking about that one, Was refering to the one the Fullback dropped. Mute point, because the drive stalled anyway.

[Packers4Glory]

Let's not be premature. it happens to the best of us

[channtheman]

Let's review this one, just to make sure.

:lol: Too funny!

[channtheman]

Your out as GM. Too fucking passive. You need to be aggressive and proactive. Why wait for a stalled drive when you know it will eventually happen? Fire him now!

Good point. Gruden's turn!

[wpony]

now we need our D to play tuff and sack him

[Joemailman]

I think TT should keep Finley.

[channtheman]

Shit I just saw the ball fly out after Finley hit the ground. Dodged a bullet there!

[Fosco33]

Finley and AR bail out the 4th time we've ran on 1st/2nd down unsuccessfully... Hats off to our Dline, RBs and FBs today.

[channtheman]

Fuckin A. Cuntler doing his best Favre impersonation. Pretty good.

[Fosco33]

Hahaha... cutler.

[mmmdk]

Burnett again

[pittstang5]

Nice!!!! Way to concentrate and get that ball!!! NICEE F'N NICE.

[red]

anyone want to take bets on what cutler is gonna hurt this time?

[gbgary]

very nice. NOW it's time to get the dagger.

[mmmdk]

Fuckin A. Cuntler doing his best Favre impersonation. Pretty good.

:lol:

[wpony]

thats what I was talking about go D ;)

[channtheman]

WHY THE FUCK IS STARKS IN THE FUCKING GAME!

[MJZiggy]

Shit I just saw the ball fly out after Finley hit the ground. Dodged a bullet there!

I thought I saw that on the replay too, but then he still had the ball, so I don't know what that was.

Shit.

[Fosco33]

danica patrick is a FIB?

thats too bad, i was willing to spray her in the face until i saw that

Yup, she went to school with one of my best friends... near Rockford.

[gbgary]

dang it!!

[pittstang5]

FN STARKS REALLY!!! REALLY. Starks your done for the day.

[wpony]

SHOOT

[Packers4Glory]

why the FUCK is Starks in this Fucking game up 17?!?! Grant rarely fumbles, starks has had issues. FUCKING RETARDED

[red]

fuck the running game

go for the fucking dagger there

and get starks out of the game, its not his day

[channtheman]

Holy fuck MM you are one fat fucking moron.

[Guiness]

If Finley's jump ball TD wasn't the dagger, Burnett's INT was.

wow did I speak too soon~

[mmmdk]

Starks has his first bad, bad game.

[pittstang5]

Do we have a shot at overturning?

[denverYooper]

Starks has his first bad, bad game.

Not a bad one to learn from, hopefully...

[Joemailman]

anyone want to take bets on what cutler is gonna hurt this time?

I'll say vagina.

[red]

Starks has his first bad, bad game.

made worse by the coaches continuing to force the ball to him when the other guy is playing so well today

[Brando19]

I think the ruling will stand.

[pittstang5]

I f'n hate playing the bears. They always get turnovers like this. God Damn it!

[red]

I'll say vagina.

ok, so joe is saying its a facial injury

[mmmdk]

made worse by the coaches continuing to force the ball to him when the other guy is playing so well today

True!

[Fosco33]

Tough angles. I think it'll stand w/o evidence.

[pittstang5]

Inconclusive I bet.

[channtheman]

made worse by the coaches continuing to force the ball to him when the other guy is playing so well today

Yup, so much for that hot hand bullshit.

[denverYooper]

"I think he's gotta keep the game from being a blowout"

[red]

i hate that mike carrey, fucking packer hater

[pittstang5]

Nice McCarthy..swear some more.

[mmmdk]

That's BS...but understandable.

[Packers4Glory]

yeah..os much for the dagger.

[channtheman]

LMAO fuck you Gruden. Time for Bill Parcells to coach this team.

[denverYooper]

Just another example of M3 taking his foot off the gas.

[pittstang5]

GOD DAMN IT ALL TO HELL. THis happens everytime at Soldier field. THis is fucking ridiculus.

[pbmax]

Crap. Those twin turnovers cost 40 yards of field position and a TD.

Peprah needs to make that tackle.

[red]

wow, our d is awesome, top notch

it takes talent to miss tackles like that

[Packers4Glory]

alright. IN for 2 shitty runs and an short pass for another 3 and out.

I better not see Starks again

[Brando19]

Peprah has had a terrible game...like Starks.

[channtheman]

I'm really really pissed that MM continually puts Starks in the game when Grant has CLEARLY been better today. It just isn't Starks game, so get him the fuck out of there!

[MJZiggy]

Nice McCarthy..swear some more.

Oh look. My kid can read lips now...

[denverYooper]

Crap. Those twin turnovers cost 40 yards of field position and a TD.

Peprah needs to make that tackle.

Weird stuff always happens during the Bears game. It's practically a law by now. At least this time it hasn't been enough to flip the game.

[Joemailman]

I guess we're just not supposed to kill the Bears. Have to sweat another one out.

[pittstang5]

alright. IN for 2 shitty runs and an short pass for another 3 and out.

I better not see Starks again

I'm pretty sure he's done for the day. If that would have been his only screw up, McCarthy might give him another shot. But the fact that he's sucked all day, means he'll be a permanant fixture on the bench the rest of the day.

[pbmax]

Starks is the 3rd down and shotgun back. The next most likely guy in is Green who is inactive. Might see Kuhn but I am not sure Grant has practiced those snaps.

if it changes it would be a huge demotion, but I don't think its happening mid game.

[channtheman]

I'm pretty sure he's done for the day. If that would have been his only screw up, McCarthy might give him another shot. But the fact that he's sucked all day, means he'll be a permanant fixture on the bench the rest of the day.

If he is, it would be about fucking time.

[red]

i think thats the 3rd time in this game that joe buck has said "the bears just made this a lot more interesting"

[pbmax]

Nice by Aikman. Tramontana with the blown coverage?

[Guiness]

wow, our d is awesome, top notch

it takes talent to miss tackles like that

Indeed. Looked like a bad sports movie, with guys falling down in front of the lead as he runs by them.

[pbmax]

Grant hurt.

[Packers4Glory]

awww fuck someone punched grant in the gut

[denverYooper]

The good old inverted wishbone.

[gbgary]

come on mm...need first downs.

[pittstang5]

Fuck, Grant went down

[red]

now we're really fucked

[Packers4Glory]

Fuck, Grant went down

I think its just the wind knocked out of him. ball got jammed up in there

[channtheman]

We don't have to run the ball with Starks, if he must be in the game.

[MJZiggy]

We've probably run Starks enough today to screen off of him...

[Guiness]

made worse by the coaches continuing to force the ball to him when the other guy is playing so well today

Grant is not available, is he?

[denverYooper]

now we're really fucked

They still have "throw it to Finley" in the playbook.

[red]

Fuck, Grant went down

i would like to so good, now we'll be forced to continue to throw the ball. but knowing M3 he'll settle for continuing to run for nothing with starks

[gbgary]

i think thats the 3rd time in this game that joe buck has said "the bears just made this a lot more interesting"

that means four times the Packers made it uninteresting.

[channtheman]

WHY THE FUCK DO WE RUN STARKS?! MM must want to lose this game.

[pittstang5]

Oh Come on!

[red]

FUCK YOU MIKE

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU

LOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOL

[gbgary]

throw for first downs mm!!

[channtheman]

Shit Jennings almost fumbled. Thank God he didn't.

[denverYooper]

Urlacher has the most cliche tat ever -- the bicep barbed wire.

[Packers4Glory]

wow. nice grab jennings!

[Guiness]

NICE YAC

[channtheman]

Time to run STARKS!

[red]

thank you greg jennings. see what happens when you let rodgers throw?

[pittstang5]

Ok ok, Jennigs to the rescue. Need to calm down here

[mmmdk]

McCarthy! That's your bread'n'butter.

[channtheman]

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

[denverYooper]

Well, there's the customary Urlacher pick.

[Packers4Glory]

choke job in progress!

[mmmdk]

FUCK

[pbmax]

You knew that was coming.

[MJZiggy]

AAAAAiIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee!!!!

[channtheman]

I fucking hat Urlacher.

[gbgary]

can't play the bears without giving the ball to urlacher. dammit.

[pittstang5]

That's it, I'm done.

[denverYooper]

Jarius Wynn to the rescue :).

[Jimx29]

guess I won't be changing my siggy anytime soon. effin M3 hasn't a clue in close/big games

[channtheman]

Well, there's the customary Urlacher pick.

With Favre, with Rodgers that shit just doesn't end.

[mmmdk]

Not on Coach; this on AR.

[Guiness]

Wow, Urlacher really made a tough catch and held on to that one. shit

[red]

they are wearing blaze orange jersies, the most visable color on the planet

HOW IN THE FUCK DO YOU NOT SEE HIM?

[mmmdk]

Jarius Wynn to the rescue :).

For the WYNN

[pbmax]

thank you greg jennings. see what happens when you let rodgers throw?

Yes, I do.

[denverYooper]

You knew that was coming.

We've got most of the standard gaffes covered -- FF on some Packer, Urlacher pick.

[channtheman]

Come on INT.

[red]

can't close out anyone ever, can't have a comfortable win

[gbgary]

way to go tw

[channtheman]

Come on INT.

Oh FUCK you refs.

[denverYooper]

Whoa.

[pbmax]

Idiot Walden with a head shot

[gbgary]

walden

[mmmdk]

TRAMON

[red]

nice pick tramon

thats fucking horse shit, cutler faked that shit

fucking pussy
