OFFICIAL WEEK 5 GAME DAY THREAD PACKERS vs DA FALCONS

[red]

10-0 going into detroit

[denverYooper]

hate rooting for the bears but...

Gotta agree with this one. Although I won't cry if it turns out the other way. I did pick the Lions in our office pool.

[red]

DAGGER

[mmmdk]

I finally had to lock her in the bedroom. She's yelping and scratching at the door.

Poor thing; give it a treat - GB Packers are winning! :pack:

[Cheesehead Craig]

Damn I hate these flukey wins.

[pbmax]

Money.

[denverYooper]

Dammit Collingworth, stop with the whammy!

He did go on, didn't he?

[Bretsky]

no receptions to white or gonzo


Yes, with it being a PPR and yards you could still fall

[red]

do an onside here, they'll never expect it

[Upnorth]

Crosby for special teams player of the week!

[denverYooper]

Good thing they paid Mase. Sure seems to be at peace these days.

I'll bet having a steady snapper/holder helps too...

[Bretsky]

Told ya; Crosby a dome kicker. See the stats?


Crosby is one of the best kickers in the NFL........dome or no dome

[red]

rodgers has a shitty game, only a 117 qb rating, what a joke

[mmmdk]

Eat your tweets, Roddy White! :lol:

[pbmax]

Whatever Crosby ate this weekend he should have every week.

[MJZiggy]

YES!!!

I have GOT to get that dog some valium before our next game. Two pills per game should do it. Of course two pills would knock me out cold, but she's a total freak case.

[pbmax]

do an onside here, they'll never expect it

Yes.

[Bretsky]

do an onside here, they'll never expect it


LOL; then you'd be safe.
Is your team going to choke ????

[red]

no no no no no no no no no

[denverYooper]

rodgers has a shitty game, only a 117 qb rating, what a joke

LOL. It's going to bring down his season rating a hair.

[mmmdk]

Crosby is one of the best kickers in the NFL........dome or no dome

He's having his best season - no doubt!

[MJZiggy]

They're still playing? They think they're going to score 11 points in a minute?

[red]

no no no no no no no no no no no

[denverYooper]

Terrible D. Secondary is just allowing completions willy-nilly.

[Bretsky]

CRAP..............RED...........you are losing the lead fast

[red]

fuck, don't they have anyone else that can catch the fucking ball?

[Cheesehead Craig]

no no no no no no no no no no no

You had to say something about them didn't you?

[red]

CRAP..............RED...........you are losing the lead fast

we're tied

[Cheesehead Craig]

Bush!!!!!!

[denverYooper]

LOL. Bush!

Wanted that one bad.

[Willard]

Busssssshhhhhhhhhh

[red]

YES, thank you god

i dodged a bullet there, i'll take a tie

[mmmdk]

BUSH with Defensive dagger!!!

[Bretsky]

OMG...............RED....................YOU JUST TIED I THINK

[Upnorth]

We got our d back!!! Bush (youy like that red?)

[Packers4Glory]

great job by the D to get it together. didn't think they had it in them

[pbmax]

Bush has come full circle. Ran it back, but when about to get tackled tucked it away and fell down. Good play Jarrett.

[Jimx29]

That's gotta be about the 15th weird deflection interception i've seen this year (league wide)

[gbgary]

told ya the d would come around. always better in the second half. and now bush gets an int.

[mmmdk]

First good game by defense sans 1st quater. :smile:

[denverYooper]

http://youtu.be/YWshbNTYVqg

[Partial]

Weird game tonight. Lots of fluky turnovers, etc

[Cheesehead Craig]

It looks like we can actually start relying on Bush.

[red]

We got our d back!!! Bush (youy like that red?)

thats fine, just gave me a tie instead of a loss in FF

[mmmdk]

Very important win 'cos Lions are for real too.

[Jimx29]

Whelp.....i'm warming up to M3.......not quite there yet, but making great progress this year (take a deep breath Ziggy ;) )

[Willard]

Down 14 without either starting tackle. They took hotlanta's best shot and got back off the turf to score 25 straight. Games like this build confidence. Way to go Pack.

[red]

i really wish i hadn't quit smoking 3 months ago, it would be nice right now. i'm beat. drunk, exhausted and sweating.

feels like sex

[digitaldean]

All I've got to say, is "wow". Way to persevere after Cliffy went out and missing Bulaga.

If the Rams don't come up with a miracle performance (or we lay a complete egg), we'll be at 6-0. Have tickets for next week's game, taking my oldest kid (her first Packer game). Should be fun.

D overcame a slow start. Rodgers looked like freakin' Houdini back there tonight. Any other QB would have been dead meat and he avoided the rush.

[channtheman]

I don't think it's a question of can Rodgers maintain this level of play anymore, but rather can his receivers maintain their level and catch the ball? Finley needs to shut the fuck up for the rest of the season after dropping 3 passes. Driver, Jones, Starks all had drops, and Rodgers still completed 66%.

thats a great point, take the drops away, and the throw aways, how many passes did he miss on? 2 or 3?

i remember the long one he overthrew to jones

[pbmax]

Play bad game, drop passes, fumble and go down two scores early. Win by 11 on road.

This team might be OK.

He was complaining about not getting enough passes last week. He needs to shut the fuck up about that and catch the damn ball.

Good thing the Falcons traded 5 draft picks for Julio Jones.........

[Lurker64]

I say with all seriousness that I think this might be MM's most impressive win. Though, that might be overestimating the Falcons. They may be what their 2-3 record suggests.

[CaliforniaCheez]

The Falcons misdirection plays worked early yet later they abandoned it. Huge mistake Falcons.

[pbmax]

3 drops? Pass over the middle and the pass at the one. You can't be counting that 2 point conversion on him, can you? Coverage was all over him and the pass went through that coverage.

[gbgary]

He was complaining about not getting enough passes last week. He needs to shut the fuck up about that and catch the damn ball.

he denied making any complaints. had one legit drop. the other was a catch, fumble, and recovery in any other season.

When a player makes comments about not getting enough passes, I expect more out of him than other players. If he's gonna complain, he's gonna have to make plays when he gets a chance. Three drops one a TD, one a big 3rd down, and yes, he dropped the 2 point conversion. Each of them the ball was in his hands and he dropped it. I expect him to make those plays, ESPECIALLY when he complains about not getting chances.

Well, if you are going to be that exacting then you have to correct the TD drop. He wasn't in the endzone and there was a defender right behind him.

[shammye06]

Seventh time in GB history they started 5-0, other 6 times they won the championship!

That was not what Finley said. At all. Bolding is mine.

In fact, the situation you describe actually describes James Jones better, as he did complain about targets last year when concern about his drops increased.

Finley will be fine. It was a rare bad game. His hands will be fine.

Costas asked him about that before tonight's game and Finley acted like it was no big deal that he didn't get enough passes last week. The team is winning and he said "all is cool" or something to that effect. I don't think it is a big deal either. Don't we want our players to want the ball?

I suspect they are just now beginning to realize what a gaff that was too. They mortgaged their future on a nice player but failed to address what was truly ailing them - their D.

[Packers4Glory]

I'm sorry but fans complaining about Finley need to take their own advice and shut the F up!

well, he obviously said something about the Packers needing to figure out how to get him more involved in the offense...so much so that he had a meeting w/ MM. Then he goes out there had has 2 drops, one an easy TD grab in what could have cost the team the game....To making a couple catches and acting like a complete attention whore tard for actually catching one. Sorry man, but I'm not a huge fan of it, esp if you do it every time, but esp not after you completely shit the bed earlier in the game.

I like Fin and hope he's here a long time, but "come on man!"

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm looking forward to going through the start of this thread to see if people were ripping-up their packer posters or calling for firings when it was 14-0.

On the plus side, the picks the Falcons gave up for their shiny hood ornament ended up with the Browns, and if there's any NFL Franchise that could stand for lucking into some good draft picks because of somebody else's mistake it's the Browns 2.0, who have never really exceeded mediocrity at any point in their existence.

Can't wait to see what B comes up with next week vs. St Louis for the Whammy. Packers are favored by 15. Could be B's toughest test yet.

He said specifically that he wasn't happy being just a decoy and that they should have a plan to deal with double teams since at some point they would need him to overcome them.

Is he bellyaching about getting the ball thrown his way? Probably. Does he have a point? Possibly, though less likely if all WRs are healthy.

Is it a tantrum or demanding the ball? Nope.

[ThunderDan]

That's why he put in Browns 2.0 to signal the next generation.

[KYPack]

still the point is, if you have a concern, voice it to the coach and A-rod privately and not the media. That sort of thing never really goes over well, esp after your offense just blew the doors off someone. It just makes you look like a selfish D-bag

I don't remember but did Greg Jennings say anything last yr when he was lost in the offense before Finley went down?

Frustrated, that's probably an understatement, honestly," said Jennings. "You get frustrated in the game of football. Opportunities can be misconceived sometimes. Targets - they can be targets but they cannot really be targets. It's a game where, when you get an opportunity, you've got to make the best of it. We're going to make it happen."

[PoohToes]

I suspect they are just now beginning to realize what a gaff that was too. They mortgaged their future on a nice player but failed to address what was truly ailing them - their D.
Came here on the suggestion of a very good friend of mine last night after the game... him obviously a huge Packer fan and kicker of chins of those who talked trash on Favre back in the day lol...

I, myself, am a Falcons fan though (admittedly a bigger college football, Georgia Bulldogs fan)... but I have somewhat taken up cheering for the Packers over the years because of my friend and the team in general has been likable for me since Reggie White's days when I paid more attention to them.

Anyways... all that just to say the Julio Jones pick was loved by most simply because Atlanta is in SEC territory and few people didn't already know Julio as a very good player on a national title winning team at Alabama, which is only a couple hours away from Atlanta to begin with. Personally I love Julio Jones the player but absolutely hate the pick and I have all along. We had real needs on defense and we basically traded all our value for one player at a position that wasn't a real need... and we addressed our defense by signing castaway DBs from other teams and a vastly overrated DE from Minnesota.

So yeah... there may be a lot of outspoken people who just loooove that we picked up Julio Jones, but they are homers and extreme haters of their own team after a loss. I hated the pick and saw the potential for us to start the season this way. Our offensive coordinator wouldn't know a good gameplan or adjustments if it was handed to him... I have no idea how he became so highly regarded in the league... and our defense is a great player, a few really good ones, and like 7 completely interchangeable bodies. Frustrated doesn't begin to describe me on draft day.

I totally agree with you. I was very happy - as a Packer fan - with what the Falcons failed to do in the offseason. The funny thing about the team is that Matt Ryan doesn't really throw a good deep ball at all - except off play action. The takes away from Jones' effectiveness.

[channtheman]

If I owned a restaurant in Green Bay, or Atlanta I suppose, I would have a burger on the menu called the "Matty Melt." The subtitle would read, "looks great but tastes like shit." Matt Ryan in a nutshell.

Oh, so we cant say nothing now huh? Why is it that everything that you dont agree with is not a valid subject worthy of dicsussing? Can we talk about Cam "get right" Newton now? :lol:

Finley talks alot of shit. I like it but back it up! Rodgers fucking giftwrapped several throw only for Finley to drop a TD and a crucial 3rd down. Thats why I dont like that he celebrated the 3rd down at the end. He could have shocked us all and showed some humility. Dont get me wrong he is still loved but last night was a low point IMO. Never said that about any of his shit talking events either.

My guess is this week we won't hear Finley talk about not getting targeted enough. Time to let his play do the talking for a while.

Haha I can imagine you were happy. Few teams were perceived to be on that upper level of the NFC and we, I guess, WERE one of them. We made a lot of moves but none that were very good, which is pretty uncharacteristic for GM Thomas Dimitroff to this point. Guess he thought he needed to make a big splash and it would put us over the edge or something... I don't know, but it's frustrating. Come to think of it, I haven't been too impressed with Dunta Robinson, either. He got away with a helmet to helmet on Driver... he's already been fined twice for it. SMH

I've had very few years to proudly say my Falcons were awesome. I savor them like uh...... good Falcons seasons lol...

I thought we had some brilliant spurts of playing above our head Sunday night on defense, but ultimately I think our defense just couldn't bail out an offense that kept on and kept on going 3 and out or stalling quickly. Genuinely thought we would get outright raped by that offense all game long, so I'm glad to some short extent that we led and kept it competitive into the 4th quarter.

Heard on the radio this morning that every time Green Bay has started 5-0 (like 6 or 7 times I think) in their history, they won a championship that season. I wish you guys all the success in the world, I really do pull for the Packers in every game but against my own. Hopefully we meet again in the playoffs... stinkin dirty birds have an uphill battle to make it, though.

Regarding Ryan, I totally agree... he doesn't have a Chad Pennington arm, but he's certainly not slinging it down the field either. He's got a decent arm, but he needs play action most of the time for the DBs to bite and get his receiver that extra couple of steps. Julio Jones is particularly good for our offense because he is a GREAT blocker and the running game is SUPPOSED to be our bread and butter. It just kills me how much we gave up for him.

Atlanta is an interesting team. A lot of people thought they'd regress this year. I looked at some of their talent, and thought they might surprise and still stay amongst the contenders in the NFC. Ryan is overrated but solid. Turner is getting older but solid. Gonzalez is still decent. The WRs have the potential to be good. Abraham and some others on defense. I thought their young LB'ing corps would take a step up. I haven't really watched them much, but it sounds like their OL and DL have not been good. They resigned most of their guys on the OL, but lost one of their starters from last year. Now, it seems like they are a little bit like the Vikings (albeit with a better QB). They have enough top end talent to fool you into thinking they are pretty good, but in the end their glaring holes offset the high end talent they have. I was wrong on the Falcons. I still think I'll be right on the Bucs, and that they'll regress a little this year before hitting their stride in years to come. It seems pretty clear now that the main challengers to the Packers will be the Saints and Lions.

Hard to disagree with your assessment there. I was not pleased that we let Harvey Dahl go AT ALL from our o-line... and we really didn't do much but move our backups into starting roles. Our LBs and safeties are about the only area I like, even though we really need another LB to lock down one of the will or sam spots so Sean Weatherspoon doesn't have to keep going back and forth to cover. Grimes is our best corner and 3 years ago he nearly got cut. Crazy how inconsistent our secondary has been since DeAngelo Hall temper tantrum'd his way out of town.

Vikings comparison feels very harsh to me, but it probably fits. I remember looking at our depth chart prior to week 1 and thinking man this could be a disappointing season, even commenting on it to one of my friends who agreed. I hope we turn it around and have a great season, but I won't polish a turd and pretend it's not a turd.

For once, I think I agree with Paco.

Madtown was behind the pacopete thing? Did he invent him just so he could ban him to set an example?

Paco was either tank or some other nut job. I have never posted with another account. The "Joe" one was used for administrative stuff when RG was too dumb to do something.

In the future can you be more blatant with your stereotyping so you don't confuse the old geezers around here? :lol:

That was a joke, after Harv called you Paco.

not to mention that you threw your loyal volunteer, RG, under the bus. (I almost said "stooge", but RG has suffered enough here from your ingratitude..)

Was your chorizo burned this morning?

Welcome to the forum.
Hah! Man that game was something. After we beat Green Bay at the end of November I told my friend on here that I thought you guys would be fine if the team didn't take on any MORE injuries. I wasn't around any Packer fans at that time so I don't know what the common thought was on the Packers at that time, but I looked at that game and saw us being very fortunate to have won. Then the playoff game rolled around and I can even remember telling him that I had a bad feeling about the game before it started.

Talk about getting embarrassed on your home field... I can't forget about that game quick enough. :-(

I'm sure this is the perfect place for that. :lol:
