WEEK 7 OFFICIAL PACKERS vs. VIKINGS game day thread

[pittstang5]

Good thing our offense is awesome.

Wich some of that "Awesomeness" could rub onto the defense.

[rbaloha1]

Expect more blitzes on Ponder.

[Fosco33]

Well well... not quite what I expected from that half from our Defense.

Notice - when we pressured neared the end of the half or inside our 40 - our defense stops them.

Is it because of the short field and not having to worry about over the top? Why does it seem this defense gives up chunks of yards to everyone - and up to this game - seem to stop them when it counted.

Keep the heat - it was working.

I still feel a few turnovers are out there to be had... no worries.

[pbmax]

MM always has to play it safe, we had plenty of time to go for a TD that drive.

But no time in the pocket due to pass rush. That pass was to an outlet, there were deeper routes.

Everyone always asks why there was a 4 yard pass play called and refuses to believe that's not what was called. There were four routes total and pressure on the QB. That's why a 4 yard pass.

Packer fans might be forgiven for not recognizing that since its been a while since the D had a pass rush.

[Packers4Glory]

why does Bradshaw do highlights? Worst ever.

[mmmdk]

Expect more blitzes on Ponder.

Probably...hope they get to him or we lose this game.

[mmmdk]

why does Bradshaw do highlights? Worst ever.

Thank goodness, I thought I was alone on this. :-D

[mmmdk]

Chiefs are killing the Raiders 14-0.

[Fosco33]

Beyond the first completion, Ponder is 7 for 13 for ~50 yards and the very short (albeit well thrown) TD.

AP has 11 for ~70.

Gotta keep Allen off Arod.

When did Crosby become so fucking money?

Did Slocum scare the shit out of Cobb? How many ST turnovers until we settle for mediocrity over a flash of brilliance?

[Fosco33]

Chiefs are killing the Raiders 14-0.

Heard they are bringing in Palmer...

[mmmdk]

...this is so like "28 days later" :lol:

[Packers4Glory]

Chiefs are killing the Raiders 14-0. Kyle Boller is killing the Raiders

[pbmax]

Why do they consistently have issues in the red zone.

[Brandon494]

Wow

[pbmax]

Now why don't they draw that up every week?

[wootah]

Haha, best TD ever.

[mmmdk]

Kyle Boller is killing the Raiders

He should be called Kyle "Poller".

Chiefs up 21-0.

[Gunakor]

I guess the Vikings literally have no defensive backs?

[Fosco33]

Hahahaha

[red]

holy shit

jennings just walked the last 40 yards into the endzone

[mmmdk]

Haha, best TD ever.

WOW

Nice PB. I went hunting for those numbers during the half. Where'd you get it?

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Wow!

[denverYooper]

Yessir.

[Fosco33]

Rodgers now over 275 yards with that 2nd TD pass.

[pbmax]

That was a very good replay and explanation. Aikman much better without Buck.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

I guess the Vikings literally have no defensive backs?

LOL

[pbmax]

Nice PB. I went hunting for those numbers during the half. Where'd you get it?

http://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/red-zone-scoring-pct

I am just cherry picking. I am not sure if that percentage is ANY score or TDs.

[denverYooper]

At least Rodgers keeps pressure on the opposing QB.

[mmmdk]

Here comes our crappy D; please prove me wrong, D.

[red]

Rodgers now over 275 yards with that 2nd TD pass.

and only 2 incompletions, both off drops right?

[mmmdk]

and only 2 incompletions, both off drops right?

Yup!

[Packers4Glory]

It's kinda of a amazing Palmer can come in and play right now. dude was sitting on his ass at this time last week.

[red]

that should have been a pick six clay

[Upnorth]

How open can you get.

[Bossman641]

Paging BJ Raji. Where have you been all year?

[denverYooper]

and only 2 incompletions, both off drops right?

3, 2 drops and a spike.

[mmmdk]

Was that a sack or a minus run?

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Alright, three and out. Now let's take control

[denverYooper]

Paging BJ Raji. Where have you been all year?

Saw some stat that he was getting doubled like 85% of snaps. He was beating those last year but, still... he's garnering more attention.

[pbmax]

OK Randall. We'll keep you!

[Brandon494]

Now thats the Cobb I like to see!

[Packers4Glory]

Nice return Cobb

[red]

nice momentum builder there. huge td followed by a three and out

that's how it should be

and now a huge return by cobb

this is more like it

[mmmdk]

Cobb paying back!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Yeah, like that!

[Bossman641]

and only 2 incompletions, both off drops right?

A spike counts as an incompletion right? I think he has 3 then.

[Gunakor]

and only 2 incompletions, both off drops right?

One of them was that spike.

[Guiness]

Nice return! I think I saw the LOS marker where he was finally tackled!

[denverYooper]

Cobb making up for early sins.

[MJZiggy]

That was a very good replay and explanation. Aikman much better without Buck.

And this guy doesn't look like my ex.

[Brandon494]

It's kinda of a amazing Palmer can come in and play right now. dude was sitting on his ass at this time last week.

Hes actually been training all year but I agree its amazing he can learn the playbook that fast.

[Bretsky]

In the past, we've not played very well against unknown/unexpected, high potential QBs (see TB/Freeman, Car/Newton, Eagles/Vick). I'm not knocking Christian - but I don't think he's a high potential guy...

Pack wins this game in the 1st Q and has no problem securing it by the 3rd. I'm hoping AR gets some rest by the 4th.

Pack 45
Vikes 17



Disagree; I think Ponder is going to be a very solid QB in a few years

[wootah]

Rodgers 18/21 for 276 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT according to nfl.com.

[mmmdk]

OK Randall. We'll keep you!

Even I will learn to love Cobb; actually, he's only in my doghouse 'cos I fear he'll get seriously injured with his way of play.

[Fosco33]

<---- Bows head shamefully

Cobb - I know you're a rook and will love you someday.

[denverYooper]

There are some crappy looking movies coming out this fall.

[denverYooper]

Disagree; I think Ponder is going to be a very solid QB in a few years

Yeah. He looks to be a good pickup by Minny.

[mmmdk]

Al Harris just recovered a fumble versus Cowboys. ATTA BOY!!

[Brandon494]

damn that was Vikings D-line man def. saved a TD on that punt return

[Upnorth]

jones is making up for lost time last few weeks.

[mmmdk]

Disagree; I think Ponder is going to be a very solid QB in a few years

I agree - and he's way better than McNobb'ster!

[red]

why is there a ref just chilling out on the sideline?

jones starting to look really good the last few weeks

[mmmdk]

Grant's up again :shock:

[denverYooper]

Heh. Saw Finley leak out there.

[mmmdk]

FUCK YEAH

[red]

nice td

hate to say it, but why isn't that subject to the calvin johnson rule?

[Packers4Glory]

I agree - and he's way better than McNobb'ster!

gonna be some really good QB's in this division.

[Brandon494]

Yeah. He looks to be a good pickup by Minny.

Still not sure on Ponder, he didn't show much in college and has not shown me anything special.

[pbmax]

Holy Cow. Jones, Nelson are just monsters in the field and then there is Cobb and Finley, the ultimate man-child roaming the end zone.

Its virtually every weapon any good offensive team has had in the last 30 years. Maybe argue Jennings is not Rice and running game is average at best, but holy cow the pas game is crazy.

[mmmdk]

gonna be some really good QB's in this division.

Cutler will buckle come january...:lol:

[pbmax]

Disagree; I think Ponder is going to be a very solid QB in a few years

For once, we agree.

He's doomed. :lol:

[MJZiggy]

nice td

hate to say it, but why isn't that subject to the calvin johnson rule?

I read this week that they're starting to call that rule correctly this season.

[HowardRoark]

This Game 20 23 305 87.0 13.26 79 3 0 158.3

Max rating is 158.3

[Fosco33]

Glad Finley got in the end zone. Just a matter of time to blow open this game. I expect a lot more TDs.

[imscott72]

Jesus Christ how good is Rodgers? Him and Brady hands down the class of the NFL right now..

[pbmax]

And this guy doesn't look like my ex.

Your ex looked like Joe Buck?

Please tell me he was loaded at least MJ? :)

[Bossman641]

Really nice tackle there by Tramon

[mmmdk]

Jesus Christ how good is Rodgers? Him and Brady hands down the class of the NFL right now..

He's better than Jesus Christ!

[Packers4Glory]

Cutler will buckle come january...:lol:

Cutler's a good QB. However he's had a shit suck line to work behind in a system that is completely wrong for the line they do have. not to mention his only real weapon is Forte.

[pbmax]

Tramon with a good play

[MJZiggy]

Your ex looked like Joe Buck?

Please tell me he was loaded at least MJ? :)

The resemblance grew as time went on.

[pittstang5]

UH...maybe I should stop watching, took a break at half-time, came back late. We're up 27 to 17. what I miss?

[Guiness]

why is there a ref just chilling out on the sideline?

jones starting to look really good the last few weeks

He is coming on, some were worried it was a bad signing, but it was just a matter of getting him the ball a bit more regularly. Tough when he's essentially the 4th guy.

[gbgary]

another monster day by Rodgers! JJ, GJ, have been huge. running game has ben very good. the D, as a whole, has been pretty good too. could have had a couple of ints. GO PACK!

[MJZiggy]

UH...maybe I should stop watching, took a break at half-time, came back late. We're up 27 to 17. what I miss?

Touchdowns.

[Packers4Glory]

if we didn't get at least one INT I was going to be real disappointed.

[pbmax]

Wood just baited the rookie. Welcome to the NFL Christian :lol:

[denverYooper]

There it is.

[gbgary]

CHUCK

[pittstang5]

Please, let that stand!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

All right Woodson!

[mmmdk]

Cutler's a good QB. However he's had a shit suck line to work behind in a system that is completely wrong for the line they do have. not to mention his only real weapon is Forte.

I agree but watch him in january too! :lol:

[red]

more packer fans then vikings fans there?

[mmmdk]

CHUCK'STER

[pbmax]

Wood just baited the rookie. Welcome to the NFL Christian :lol:

Eh, wrong. No bait, he never should have thrown it. Visanthe hesitated in his route.

[Guiness]

Ziggy - it was a bit of a rough first half, and no comments about the dog.

Is he dead?

edit: ok, that wasn't nice. Is he drugged into oblivion?

[pbmax]

The resemblance grew as time went on.

I actually suspect Buck is more normal in real life. On TV he's the most insufferable regular guy on TV,

[HowardRoark]

Feet first Aaron.....

[pbmax]

Loved that wishbone run for a first.

[denverYooper]

Rodgers has some awkward looking flops at the end of runs at times.

[mmmdk]

GRANT

[pittstang5]

Feet first Aaron.....

Yes

[Upnorth]

running game very effeicent today

[red]

I actually suspect Buck is more normal in real life. On TV he's the most insufferable regular guy on TV,

he talks and looks like some other dude is shoving a stick up his ass

[MJZiggy]

She went outside just as the game started and I have the door closed. I don't think she realizes the game is on. I actually thought she might be dead, but I peeked out there at halftime and she was cool. Since then, she might have broken the fence and gone to the neighbor's house again for all I know.

[denverYooper]

Jones doing the froggy frog.

[MJZiggy]

he talks and looks like some other dude is shoving a stick up his ass

Hence the divorce, lol.

[Brandon494]

wow weak flag but I'll take it :)

[red]

first and goal at the 1

[pbmax]

Feet first Aaron.....

Too worried about the first. That's what got him in Detroit.

[red]

Hence the divorce, lol.

lol

[MJZiggy]

I think the Viking fans have gone home.

[Guiness]

that was a weak PI call. That DB really didn't do much

[mmmdk]

Jones doing the froggy frog.

Every day we like him more & more! :-D

[gbgary]

ok mm...enough with the running.

[Bretsky]

It sure is good there is a running game; it gives the opposing defense a chance with those dead plays by GB

[red]

don't stop throwing now

[pittstang5]

first and goal at the 1

Huh?

[mmmdk]

RED ZONE WOES !

[mmmdk]

It sure is good there is a running game; it gives the opposing defense a chance with those dead plays by GB

I agree :clap:

[Brandon494]

Damnit, we shoulda had a TD there. Should have been three straight passes and I'm not saying that because I have Rodgers in fantasy >:)

[red]

Huh?

it was PI in the endzone, shouldn't the ball have been placed at the 1?

[gbgary]

oops. rodgers had two guys open at one point and didn't through it.

[pittstang5]

I guess McCarthy thought that the defense would be expecting pass, hence the run on 1st and 2nd. I don't like it, Use that 6'5" TE against a weak secondary.

[pittstang5]

it was PI in the endzone, shouldn't the ball have been placed at the 1?

PI didn't occur in the endzone.

[pbmax]

it was PI in the endzone, shouldn't the ball have been placed at the 1?

It was before the endzone, mid route.

[MJZiggy]

it was PI in the endzone, shouldn't the ball have been placed at the 1?

It was PI on about the 5. Spot of the foul.

[pbmax]

DJ SMith and Pat Lee are playing very god Special Teams this year.

[pittstang5]

Ok, why is Crosby not making field Goals on kick offs. Planned? I can't imagine it is.

[Joemailman]

it was PI in the endzone, shouldn't the ball have been placed at the 1?

PI didn't occur in the endzone.

[pbmax]

Walden with ALMOST a good play in the backfield

[pittstang5]

damn you peterson

[pittstang5]

Chuck!

[red]

c-wood again

[pbmax]

THAT was baiting a throw. And a bow!!

[mmmdk]

DOUBLE CHUCK

[denverYooper]

HOF

[pittstang5]

Ok, Starks making something out of nothing

[mmmdk]

Nice, AR & Starks.

[pbmax]

Let me repeat that I forgive Charles Woodson for going to Michigan!

[red]

woodson, all-world

all-class

[mmmdk]

Sweet move by Chuck; givin' ball to Packer girl :-D

[pbmax]

Sitton just got whipped again.

[mmmdk]

Why...WHY RUN???

[MJZiggy]

Ok. We have a whole quarter of football left. Can we throw the damn ball please?

[MJZiggy]

That's not what I had in mind, thanks.

[Bossman641]

Dumb dumb dumb Rodgers

[pittstang5]

Out of field goal range now. nice job ass

[Brandon494]

Plenty of leg!

[denverYooper]

JEEEEEEEBUUS.

[Teamcheez1]

McCarthy is starting to go into his shell in the second half again.

[MJZiggy]

Yeah Crosby!!!

[Packers4Glory]

Holy WOW Crosby

[mmmdk]

Holy crap!

[Brandon494]

Out of field goal range now. nice job ass

say what? :)

[pbmax]

58 yards. Not too shabby. Have an Applebees dinner on us Ryan!

[red]

WOW

that would have been good from 68

[Bossman641]

Crosby - WOW!!!

And 20 in a row

[pittstang5]

Holy fuck!

[imscott72]

Holy fuck Mason is $$$$$$$$$$

[denverYooper]

Out of field goal range now. nice job ass

not for Money Ma$on.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Crosby is the man! Would have been good from 68!

[red]

put it in the net from 58

that might have been good from 70

[mmmdk]

Your kid can kick, Bretsky! :wink:

[pittstang5]

Thank you, no return

[Guiness]

Out of field goal range now. nice job ass

Or not! 58 yards???

[pittstang5]

God damn it!!!!

[mmmdk]

Can Crosby play D ??? :lol:

[Upnorth]

run defence is doing awesome today. wow peterson is hard to bring down

[MJZiggy]

Who were those nice folks who thought we should have gotten rid of Mason?

[red]

hey look, another cartoon on fox

if it wasn't for football, i would have no reason to watch this shitty network

[pbmax]

Can Crosby play D ??? :lol:

That was against base D, 3 D lineman as well.

[pittstang5]

That was against base D, 3 D lineman as well.

Lots of missed tackles.

[mmmdk]

That was against base D, 3 D lineman as well.

One play, one play!

[pittstang5]

C'mon D!!!! Let's GO!!!

[red]

Who were those nice folks who thought we should have gotten rid of Mason?

oh, there's plenty of them around here somewhere

he's not very accurate you know, and his leg isn't that strong to make up for all the misses

[Packers4Glory]

hey look, another cartoon on fox

if it wasn't for football, i would have no reason to watch this shitty network

Family Guy is fantastic

Bones and House are awesome too

[mmmdk]

MEET YOUR CLAYMAKER

[pbmax]

That push outside on the 2nd down run was much better D.

[Gunakor]

It amazes me how an OC can forget to put a hat on Clay no matter where the play is being run.

[pittstang5]

C'mon D!

[pbmax]

BUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCHHHHH!

[MJZiggy]

Almost another one!

[pbmax]

Family Guy is fantastic

Bones and House are awesome too

I loved Bob's Burgers.

[Guiness]

that should've been offensive PI - Bush had position on the ball, and the WR went over his back

[pbmax]

It amazes me how an OC can forget to put a hat on Clay no matter where the play is being run.

They tried but Hutch is slow.

[MJZiggy]

Really Troy? They're gonna get better? Like there's any other way for them to go but better?

[pittstang5]

BUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCHHHHH!

Actually had good coverage that time

[red]

i can't believe reggie bush can still get endorsement deals

[Packers4Glory]

I loved Bob's Burgers.
oh yeah. that was pretty good too.

[pittstang5]

another time out?

[mmmdk]

TO ??? Get real!

[Guiness]

I loved Bob's Burgers.

You're kidding, right? It was awful, and Fox promoted the hell out of it.

It was pushed so heavily, I forced myself to watch an episode. It was about the father crapping his pants because someone was beating him up with his hair.

There was more depth to an episode of Terrence and Phillip.

[MJZiggy]

another time out?

That's what M3 said.

[pittstang5]

Are they covering that well. C'mon!

[pittstang5]

Let's go Offense!!!

[pittstang5]

What the hell?

[Packers4Glory]

WTF is going on w/ the offense? Did they head to the showers already?

[Brandon494]

Kuhn was wide open for the 1st!

[mmmdk]

You play 4 quaters, people!

[denverYooper]

LOL

[Upnorth]

I hope they dont let them back in. I just hate tense games at the end.

[HowardRoark]

another time out?

That's what Badger fans said.

[pittstang5]

getting killed on 3rd down today

Both sides it seems

[pbmax]

You're kidding, right? It was awful, and Fox promoted the hell out of it.

It was pushed so heavily, I forced myself to watch an episode. It was about the father crapping his pants because someone was beating him up with his hair.

There was more depth to an episode of Terrence and Phillip.

Didn't see that one. Saw one where he trapped himself in the wall and decided to live there. Was interesting and not simply potty humor.

[pittstang5]

god damn it!

[pbmax]

Might need Walden to spy the QB

[mmmdk]

Vikings offense keep playing...shouldn't our offense too?

[pittstang5]

Thank you, saw it and screamed...HOLDING!

[pittstang5]

Peterson limping

[Teamcheez1]

The defense is intent on letting them back in the game. I am really starting to question the coaching in the second half.

[denverYooper]

3rd down D is horrible.

[Bossman641]

Fuck man, come on defense

[pittstang5]

Fuck this god damn defense!

[pbmax]

Hit him with the head.

[Packers4Glory]

WTF BS penalty

[Bossman641]

How is that roughing??

[mmmdk]

Terrible ! Vikings has more fire in them; hate to see that versus us.

[pittstang5]

Fuck you D

[Brandon494]

Are you kidding me? Guarantee Rodgers would never get that call

[Packers4Glory]

they deserve to lose. maybe it will wake them up

[pbmax]

Wood. Must tackle the guy occasionally.

[Brandon494]

MM this is why you don't take your foot off the pedal dumbass!

[pbmax]

4 minute offense coming up.

[mmmdk]

3rd down D is horrible.

...then you just pass versus this D!

[Upnorth]

Come on o get back a two score game.

[pbmax]

Are you kidding me? Guarantee Rodgers would never get that call

Hit with helmet. Gets a call in every case on a QB.

[pittstang5]

they deserve to lose. maybe it will wake them up

Maybe TT will finally realize this defense has no pass rush. Too bad it's past the trade deadline, like he would trade for someone anyway though.

[mmmdk]

4 minute offense coming up.

Run, run, incomplete with a hit on AR?

[KalamazooPackerFan]

When was the last time we won going away? Seems like we always let them back in the game.

[denverYooper]

Need at least 3 here...

[pbmax]

Why bring it out?

[denverYooper]

When was the last time we won going away? Seems like we always let them back in the game.

Last 2 weeks don't count?

[pittstang5]

Why bring it out?

Said the same thing

[MJZiggy]

Good thing the dog's outside. I wonder if she is dead???

[denverYooper]

Why bring it out?

This. Foolish rook.

[pbmax]

Yes. First down is OK.

[pbmax]

Run, run, incomplete with a hit on AR?

:) Sometimes.

[Teamcheez1]

Capers is having his ass handed to him.

[pbmax]

Newhouse tripped on way to block. Good grief.

[pittstang5]

That sucked

[Bretsky]

Your kid can kick, Bretsky! :wink:


Yup....this might be his Pro Bowl Year

[mmmdk]

Can't run this one into the win column.

[Packers4Glory]

need a FG

[pittstang5]

they suck

[pbmax]

1 of 7 on third down is not getting it done.

[Upnorth]

@$#&^q$q*

[Packers4Glory]

bout to be down 1
