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

[Packers4Glory]

stupid fucktard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[denverYooper]

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

Never ever. Not this team.

[red]

that is a horrible call

fuck the nfl, the game is ruined

[channtheman]

Another hold. Fucking Bears.

[gbgary]

holding

[mmmdk]

Holding

[channtheman]

Come on INT

[channtheman]

Wow, Hawk actually made a play.

[red]

now WTF?

[denverYooper]

That's gotta be Hester Prynne.

[channtheman]

I will never understand the logic behind PUNCHING a HELMET

[pbmax]

Hester getting the call? Yes!!!

[red]

throw his ass out

[denverYooper]

Sew a scarlet A on his jersey for that.

[mmmdk]

Lack of fire in Packers has lead to this...saw some fire there though.

[channtheman]

Fuck you Buck. THat was all Hester

[red]

I will never understand the logic behind PUNCHING a HELMET

we're talking about football players, not rocket scientists

[Guiness]

Ok, so a penalty committed after the QB releases the ball causes the play to be erased???

[denverYooper]

That got Shields riled up.

[Packers4Glory]

secure it cobb

[red]

nice tackle by shields or that could have gotten stupid

[pittstang5]

Hester getting the call? Yes!!!

could have gone on both, i was thinking.

[pbmax]

Solid 3rd down and forever defense :)

[mmmdk]

Shields up, men!

[denverYooper]

Ok, so a penalty committed after the QB releases the ball causes the play to be erased???

Oh well, in the end they just ran the clock.

[pittstang5]

nice tackle by shields or that could have gotten stupid

Yeah, I know, right.

[gbgary]

other than the one drive the d this second half has been much better.

[pbmax]

Crabtree in with Grant

[MJZiggy]

could have gone on both, i was thinking.

I think it was fine until Hester closed his fist.

[red]

everyone threw a fit when woodson threw that punch and didn't get kicked out. where's the outrage now?

[mmmdk]

secure it cobb

He's electric...in so many ways :lol:

[pbmax]

Does Jones ever line up on the left?

[denverYooper]

could have gone on both, i was thinking.

Could have if not for the dumb last punch by Hester.

[pittstang5]

I think it was fine until Hester closed his fist.

Ah ha, missed that.

[gbgary]

are james jones' legs much bigger this year? seem so to me.

[red]

HAHAHAHAHA

jones with a drop. imagine that

[channtheman]

The announcers need to STFU about the clock. Hope there is no hold.

[denverYooper]

Heh.

[mmmdk]

MVP PLAY, Rodgers!

[red]

man look at jennings work

thing of beauty

[mmmdk]

Delay of game is a popular play today...

[channtheman]

A -5 yard pass. Sounds logical to me.

[mmmdk]

safe completion play, please.

[pbmax]

DONT GO OUT OF BOUNDS YOU GIANT IDIOT!!

[channtheman]

Just run the draw and be done with it already.

[gbgary]

no more running for now please...and stay in bounds jones.

[red]

why the hell did that idiot run out of bounds?

[denverYooper]

Who else was nervous seeing Jones with the ball and a passel o' Bears after him there?

[pittstang5]

why did the clock stop? The ref. motioned it was still running. Oh time out. Ok

[mmmdk]

Run!

[channtheman]

Oh wow, TO on a play where clock is stopped? Bears are trying to outsuck the Packers today. Doing good too.

[red]

and jones bitches about not getting enough snaps.

he's had way too many today IMO

[denverYooper]

Oh wow, TO on a play where clock is stopped? Bears are trying to outsuck the Packers today. Doing good too.

+500

[red]

Who else was nervous seeing Jones with the ball and a passel o' Bears after him there?

yup

[denverYooper]

Rodgers would have done the Bears a much bigger favor by throwing it to them.

[pbmax]

Should have run there.

[mmmdk]

Terrible play call!

[mmmdk]

Should have run there.

Yup, said that too.

[red]

fuck you troy, he's a moron

we won the super bowl despite him

[pbmax]

Bad punt

[denverYooper]

Time to start Wynning.

[channtheman]

I have no problem with trying to get the first.

[pbmax]

Don't let them get out of bounds

[channtheman]

We need another INT.

[denverYooper]

Don't let them get out of bounds

Amen.

[pbmax]

I have no problem with trying to get the first.

Two core lead. They need the ball twice. Clock is their enemy, not a first down.

[channtheman]

Haha, what an idiot.

[pbmax]

Nice pressure. Still going with 4 men rushing

[mmmdk]

Coverage sack.

[denverYooper]

A-Yo!

[pbmax]

Knox in bounds. Thanks for the help.

[red]

theres jarrett bush celebrating because cutler got too tired from standing in the pocket too long and fell down from exhustion

[pbmax]

Shields!!

[denverYooper]

That was good coverage.

[gbgary]

great play by shields

[mmmdk]

Shields up, baby!

[denverYooper]

Watch M3 take his foot off the gas here.

[channtheman]

Well it's been an exhausting day in the game day thread. Thankfully we won. Cheesner, gfy. haha

[Guiness]

Did Shields actually have a hand on his elbow? Hard to tell from the replay. He played it pretty well either way.

[pbmax]

Watch M3 take his foot off the gas here.

:D

[pbmax]

Its close. i think you are allowed to hit the back as long as you aren't tackling or redirecting. but in all honesty, it could have been called.

[red]

thank god

we can play so good while looking and acting so stupid

its confusing

[Joemailman]

Good game by Shields today.


theres jarrett bush celebrating because cutler got too tired from standing in the pocket too long and fell down from exhustion

Give it up Red. Bush had a good game today.

[channtheman]

Look at that shitty fields sod fly all over the place.

[red]

so a-rod slides, get hit in the head, and there's no flag

[pbmax]

The baddest m*****f**** in de LEAGUE!

[mmmdk]

Watch M3 take his foot off the gas here.

by trying to kill AR :shock:

[pbmax]

Bears found a pass blocking line, but not a run blocking line.

[red]

Good game by Shields today.



Give it up Red. Bush had a good game today.

i guess not making a half dozen mistakes in a game constitutes a good game these days?

[pbmax]

Bury this Aussie style mas

[channtheman]

What the fuck just happened?

[red]

yup, here we go

[pbmax]

Flag and called back.

[pittstang5]

What is going on, Bears scored...WTF!

[mmmdk]

WTF?

[channtheman]

Some stupid mother fucker held and that fucking would have worked to! Holy fuck the Bears are fucking morons.

[mmmdk]

Bury this Aussie style mas

Hear, hear!!

[red]

i need to drink more

and find some kind of pills to take

[pbmax]

Did the Packers punt team not know which side of the field Masthay was punting to?

[channtheman]

Packers/Bears games can go fuck themselves. These shitty games are always fucked up.

[pittstang5]

Camara angle sucked on that.

[red]

then maybe they called the wrong fucking number troy

[Guiness]

what the hell happened there? That was strange. Looks like Hester faked that he was going to catch it, and all the Packers converged on him? Meanwhile, it was punted to the corner.

[pittstang5]

Did the Packers punt team not know which side of the field Masthay was punting to?

That's waht it looked like. FIRE SLOCUM because of it!

[mmmdk]

A win is a win & Packers beat da Bears in Chicago.

:pack:

[MJZiggy]

Dear people. Uh. We won. We never gave up the lead all game. Can I get a YAY?

[pbmax]

then maybe they called the wrong fucking number troy

The hold was before the replay commenced. Troy is concussed enough that he can't imagine the penalty occurred BEFORE he saw the flag.

[Brando19]

The Bears just got screwed out of a TD...and i love it! HAHAHA!

[pbmax]

what the hell happened there? That was strange. Looks like Hester faked that he was going to catch it, and all the Packers converged on him? Meanwhile, it was punted to the corner.

Yes, the Packers have no one to blame but themselves, as they should have known better.

[Tony Oday]

Win!

[gbgary]

a win on the road in a hostile place is always a good win.

[pittstang5]

Well, that was probably the most frustrating win I've seen in a long time (Didn't catch last weeks game). This defense should have pummeled Cutler with that piecemeal line, but they ended up giving up some big plays that shouldn't have happened. A win is a win, but we need more of a pass rush.

[gbgary]

The Bears just got screwed out of a TD...and i love it! HAHAHA!

someone held...just not the number that was blamed.

[Joemailman]

Dear people. Uh. We won. We never gave up the lead all game. Can I get a YAY?

YAY!!!

[pittstang5]

OK, I've got nothing on Bulaga, anyone have anything. I did hear his return was questionable....

[digitaldean]

Dear people. Uh. We won. We never gave up the lead all game. Can I get a YAY?

Sorry for not posting during game. I'll through in a HELL YEAH for the W.

Too bad about Bulaga. Finley proving to be a BEAST. Grant ran motivated today.

Pep didn't play that well, Think Woodson should be playing safety a lot more.

The best thing (besides staying pace w/Detroit)??? Listening to Doug and OB, p and moan during their post game show on the SCORE in Chicago. When they get PO'd they're a riot to listen to.

[Fosco33]

3-0. Take a big jump in playoff positioning. Not worried about Lions - yet.

GJ, AR, Grant/Crabtree and FINLEY on Offense
Wynn, whole Dline, Burnett on Defense

It wasn't all that exciting - but a solid effort and a win on the road. Take it every sunday.

[Joemailman]

The Whammy Lives On!!! Bring on The Broncos!

[pbmax]

No Bulaga news yet. Last word on Twitter was the questionable return.

brilliant play design there though

[channtheman]

You knew 21 held when after it was called on him, he simply pointed at himself and admitted it. If a guy didn't hold, he isn't going to do that.

[CaliforniaCheez]

I'm just giddy!!

[Pugger]

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

I have been in Grant's corner since the preseason games. Too many folks here and on other forums have short memories and were all too ready to coronate Starks as our starter. Grant looked like this last year against Philly until he got hurt. We all saw how dreadful our running game was after that until Starks came off the PUP list.

[Pugger]

Dear people. Uh. We won. We never gave up the lead all game. Can I get a YAY?

Absolutely!!!! :pack:

Well, it is what it is.....

I DO get to taunt my Bear fan friends on FB until Christmas however, so that's a win for me!!!

http://www.greatplay.net/essays/images/yay.jpg

[ThunderDan]

I just don't get that play at all. The Packers were obviously kicking to the left sideline but the whole cover team runs to Hester. Huh?!!

[cheesner]

Our punter knew where the punt was going. I bet in the future he is yelling 'left!'.

[mraynrand]

I just don't get that play at all. The Packers were obviously kicking to the left sideline but the whole cover team runs to Hester. Huh?!!


The coverage guys running down the filed can't look for the ball. They figure Masthay mis-kicked it. They don't care, Hester is going to catch it and they have to cover him. That was a great fakeroo by the Bears. Had they scored, it would have been one of the most epic plays in Packer-Bears history. I almost wish it had worked - and the Packers still won - because it was such a clever, awesome trick, and was almost perfectly executed. Almost.

[gbgary]

I just don't get that play at all. The Packers were obviously kicking to the left sideline but the whole cover team runs to Hester. Huh?!!

guys running down the field know where the ball is supposed to be going but the bears all went to the right so the Packers had to react to that. Packers need to plant someone behind the endzone and signal where the ball is actually going.

Yeah, the announcers missed the boat on this one. The replay followed #21, but it was long after the hold. The flag was lying on the ground and they are saying I don't see anything wrong that #21 did.

[pittstang5]

Fire Slocum and I guarantee it won't happen again.

[pbmax]

That play can only work if you are scared to death of Hester. Which everyone is.

[pbmax]

Bulaga, bruised knee in case it hasn't been posted elsewhere. Not sure about that. Not sure how you bruise a knee on a rollup from the ankle.

I think M3 has been taking lessons from Hoodie.

[Joemailman]

I'm guessing sprained knee. Probably be out a few weeks. They don't actually lose a lot with Newhouse in there.

[rbaloha1]

The packers special teamers are not that bright -- follow the ball not the target.

Are others aware the phantom holding on the play changed the point spread? Suspicious.

You cannot look for the ball while running down the field, you would get killed on a block you wouldn't see.

[rbaloha1]

Of course. Please do not take so literally.

[mraynrand]

Another chapter to add to the annals of "Great Moments in Gambling History."

[denverYooper]

Another good game from Morgan Burnett -- 2 picks, 5 tackles.

[rbaloha1]

Another good game from Morgan Burnett -- 2 picks, 5 tackles.

Yup. Future Pro Bowler and living up to Darren Sharper's number. Tremendous range.

[pbmax]

OK. Then you are suggesting they do both? Or were you merely joking?

[King Friday]

Wrong. Just kick the damn ball OUT OF BOUNDS. You are up 10 points with little time left, so the ONLY thing that gets the other team back into the game is a return. Kicking out of bounds is the only way to guarantee that does not happen.

Slocum is a boob.

[King Friday]

Are others aware the phantom holding on the play changed the point spread? Suspicious.

It wasn't phantom. It happened very early in the play...well before the cameras switched over to cover the return. A Bears player grabbed the jersey of a Packer running downfield about 5-10 yards from the LOS. You can only see the penalty as the camera pans downfield from the punter immediately after the kick. You won't see it in the angles focused on the returners.

[smuggler]

There wasn't a phantom hold. Homeboy grabbed hold of Bush's shoulder for ~5 yards and rolled downfield. They threw the flag before Knox even caught the ball.

[Bretsky]

Do I really need to start a thread predicting Denver to win in Green Bay ??

[Guiness]

Do I really need to start a thread predicting Denver to win in Green Bay ??

It is your solemn duty.

Make sure you involve the distinct possibility of Tebow replacing Orton and running for 200 yards. I look forward to your work!

[esoxx]

Do I really need to start a thread predicting Denver to win in Green Bay ??

No. I would prefer to hear your real thoughts on the game versus making up something just to accommodate some kooky superstition.

[Pugger]

Didn't the offending Bear player admit he held Bush on the play?

[Joemailman]

Yep. Classic trap game.

Von Miller looks pretty good so far and if they get Dumervil and DJ Williams back they'll have some pass rush. Bailey might be able to go. He and Dawkins are still better than many but they're getting long in the tooth. The Broncos are playing hard for Fox right now, and though they don't have anywhere near the talent the Packers do, they've been scrappy.

That doesn't win ball games, but it annoys the hell out of people:

Slocum is a boob.

If you tell your punter to be sure and kick it out of bounds, you are risking a major shank. Give the Bears the ball at midfield with that much time left and you are still leaving them an open window for a comeback. The better solution is to have Masthay give an audible confirmation after the kick that the ball is indeed headed in the intended direction.

With Hester back there to return? I think never letting him touch it when they need two scores in about a minute is solid strategy, especially the way Cutler was scatter shot with his passing.

I would have said the same thing last January in the fourth quarter against Caleb Hanie. And that was against a well-oiled defense that wasn't in the habit of letting run of the mill guys like Davis run rampant through its secondary. You never know when a QB is going to suddenly catch fire--or just get lucky--so, if you have a punter who can do it, better to pin them deep when there is still enough time for two scores. I suppose it comes down to this: who do you trust more to do their job, your punter or your pass defense? Apparently the Packers trust Masthay, and based on recent results I have to agree.
