WEEK 7 OFFICIAL PACKERS vs. VIKINGS game day thread

[denverYooper]

Nice play by ST.

[pbmax]

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCHHHHHH!

[Bossman641]

Nicely done Bush

[mmmdk]

Add 98 yards to Vikings offense stats!

[Bretsky]

Newhouse tripped on way to block. Good grief.


A wise man noted he'd have a rough game today

[mmmdk]

PI...?

[denverYooper]

There's that 3rd down D.

[pbmax]

Dammit.

[Packers4Glory]

MIN sure can convert on 3rd down

[mmmdk]

This D blows!

[denverYooper]

Ponder does look like he could be the 2nd best QB in the NFCN.

[Bossman641]

Vikings 8-14 on 3rd down.
Pack 1-7

[pbmax]

PICK!

[denverYooper]

3rd down. Let's get out of here this time.

[MJZiggy]

Ok, just one goddamn play.

[Bretsky]

come on D
this week was already the worst in WI sports fan history
let's not make it worse !!

[pbmax]

Ok, just one goddamn play.

Its 4 down territory

[pbmax]

Holy crap.

[denverYooper]

well, tight coverage but Minny keeps getting the ball

[mmmdk]

Vikings 8-14 on 3rd down.
Pack 1-7

:shock: and counting!!!!

[Jimx29]

when does aikman go down and suck off ponder?

[Packers4Glory]

terrible.

I'm just waiting for AP to break a long TD run now.

[pbmax]

Almost ended it there. Bad throw.

[Guiness]

Ponder's running around like a fool out there, but somehow hitting his targets.

Have to hope one of those wild throws turns into an INT

[denverYooper]

Whew. I thought he was hurt. Probably just upset at missing.

[pbmax]

Wood.

[denverYooper]

2 wacky throws.

[imscott72]

This Ponder kid has some skills..I like him..

[pbmax]

One more down to go.

[pbmax]

Punt? Bad idea.

[denverYooper]

Weird decision by Minny... as long as Cobb can hang on.

[pbmax]

Could have returned that Cobb.

[denverYooper]

Punt? Bad idea.

Yah.

[mmmdk]

Right move by Vikes; I'd put pussy playcalling Packers back in the game.

[MJZiggy]

There's my girl!!!!

[pbmax]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTT!!

[Guiness]

lol @ Cobb not running that back.

I bet one of the coaches said he's personally shoot him if he tried!

[mmmdk]

Pussy call went well!

[pbmax]

Goddamn it Finley!

[mmmdk]

False start...get real!

[pbmax]

That idiotic play guarantees a punt. Moron.

[denverYooper]

Nice time for Starks to rip off a good run.

[Guiness]

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

Guess you'll find out after the game, eh?

[Packers4Glory]

MM replaced Holmgren? hmmm interesting.

[mmmdk]

Ugly game!

[MJZiggy]

Guess you'll find out after the game, eh?

Nah, she's back in. And whining.

[pbmax]

DAGGER!

[denverYooper]

About Damn Time!

[mmmdk]

Starks steppin' up :-D

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Where the hell was that running game the rest of the afternoon?

[Guiness]

Idiot announcer...'big hole there'.

He got the corner with 2 guys hot on his tail. Great run.

[Brandon494]

damn that Vikings player was pretty damn close to stripping the ball from Starks there.

[MJZiggy]

I want two hands on that ball from here on out, Starks.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

MM replaced Holmgren? hmmm interesting.

Winner write the history books.

[pbmax]

80 seconds off clock takes it down to 40 seconds left in game for punt.

[pbmax]

Idiot announcer...'big hole there'.

He got the corner with 2 guys hot on his tail. Great run.

It was also a poor bock by Sitton. That was right call for the right D alignment.

[pbmax]

damn that Vikings player was pretty damn close to stripping the ball from Starks there.

He is not holding it with four points of contact that is certain.

[mmmdk]

Option: You can PASS with 5 secs to 2 minute warning.

[pbmax]

Way to go Left Side blocking! Lang and Newhouse1!!!

[Upnorth]

wELL DONE STARCKS!

[mmmdk]

Dagger

[Guiness]

MM replaced Holmgren? hmmm interesting.
I heard the reference, but not the context? What were they talking about?

[pbmax]

Option: You can PASS with 5 secs to 2 minute warning.

You can also stop the clock with 2:01 with a pass at 2:05.

[Bossman641]

Hell ya!

Didn't wanna say anything while outcome was in doubt but doesn't Starks seem a little loose with the ball?

[MJZiggy]

Nice job finishing, boys. Next time less heart attack, please.

[mmmdk]

Packer lore 2011: An ugly win is still a win!

[imscott72]

Great game. 7 and fucking 0..What a year so far..

[denverYooper]

Well, we'll take that one but boy, they've got to hope Neal can come back in the 2nd half of the season and help out with pass rush.

[MJZiggy]

I heard the reference, but not the context? What were they talking about?

Something about everyone talking about Rodgers taking over for BF and no one talking about M3 taking over for Holmgren...?

[mmmdk]

You can also stop the clock with 2:01 with a pass at 2:05.

Not much faith in the pass protection! :lol:

[MJZiggy]

Nice job finishing, boys. Next time less heart attack, please.

That said, I still miss having a defense...

[rbaloha1]

Ponder is the franchise qb. Readjusts throws for completions.

[Teamcheez1]

A win is a win.

Our defense is playing like crap giving up 394 yards.
We went into our usual offensive shell in the 4th qtr instead of puting a bad team away.

[Lurker64]

I'm happy any time we can beat the Vikings and suffer no major injuries.

For old time's sake:

YES! Thank you!!! :lol:

[pbmax]

Packer lore 2011: An ugly win is still a win!

They still can't win close games!

[Joemailman]

Hell ya!

Didn't wanna say anything while outcome was in doubt but doesn't Starks seem a little loose with the ball?

Yep. When in the clear, he looks vulnerable to a strip from behind. He does do a good job of protecting the ball when in heavy traffic.

[pbmax]

Advanced stats think the Vikings are much more effective than their records indicate. I agree, with Ponder or McNabb.

[pbmax]

Not much faith in the pass protection! :lol:

Can happen with a slant as well. or screen or dump off. Its not always up to the O. If the defense sends the house, then a quick throw or sack is the likeliest outcome.

[pbmax]

Ponder is the franchise qb. Readjusts throws for completions.

Very accurate on the move.

[gbpackfan]

This was the Vikings SuperBowl. Don't expect this game to be that close at Lambeau in three weeks. Capers will have a lot more film on Ponder by then, we will be at home and some key players (Zombo, Shields) will be back. I have no idea what is going to happen in San Diego but I would bet my house that the Packers will beat the Vikings on MNF!

[mmmdk]

They still can't win close games!

...so who made this one close...? :wink:

[Lurker64]

They still can't win close games!

We're not going to give them credit for that one being a close game, since really they had a 17 point lead and then let the other team back into it, right?

[mission]

...so who made this one close...? :wink:

Randall Cobb. Cost me a lot of cash.

[Lurker64]

Randall Cobb. Cost me a lot of cash.

If it makes you feel better, every drop costs him $400.

[mmmdk]

Randall Cobb. Cost me a lot of cash.

Sorry to hear!

Packers won & Vikings lost, all in all, not a bad sunday :hug:

[gbgary]

was looking forward to a few years of dominance over minn. guess not. ponder looks real good.

[pittstang5]

You know what is really going to piss me off, if Ponder's next game is crap. That'll just certify even more that this defense truly sucks.

[MJZiggy]

If it makes you feel better, every drop costs him $400.

I think they should donate those.

[pittstang5]

Anyone wanna give a breakdown of Newhouse today? I really didn't watch him all that much. Saw the first two sacks and he was responsible for at least one of those. I think he let Allen go once too on a run play which ended up for a TFL. Again, not too sure. I did see he was getting help at times, but again, I don't know if it was alot or what.

[red]

was looking forward to a few years of dominance over minn. guess not. ponder looks real good.

i wouldn't say he looked real good. other then his fist pass he did a lot of dink and dunk crap and he did make some huge mistakes

after one game, i see him as a flaco type qb. good enough to win, but nothing special and never huge numbers

but who knows

[Joemailman]

I thought he was pretty impressive. His receiver corp sucks. He throws very well on the run. He made the usual rookie mistakes, which is why his team lost.

[Lurker64]

I think they should donate those.

The "fine for drops" is actually paid out to each of the other WRs. Each GB WR owes the other four WRs $100 gift cards for every drop they make (and "drop" is defined as "pass that hits both your hands".) I think it's against NFL rules for the team to institute a fine for failure to perform, or something similar.

They could probably do it for charity, but I think they'd rather get the Best Buy gift cards.

I know how and why they do it. I just think they should quietly choose a charity every week an not tell anyone, then donate whatever cards would make the most sense for that charity. What does a millionaire football player need Best Buy cards for?

He struggled with speed to the outside with Allen. He also got hurt a couple of times when he was ripped, basically, Allen grabbing his shirt or shoulder and pulling him aside as Allen pulled himself past Newhouse.

If I had too guess, I would almost say he looked short armed against Allen. But that may just be a simplistic explanation for what actually occurred.

He did run block better than Clifton. Two of their best runs were behind him and Lang. But his pass pro isn't at that level yet.

[Lurker64]

Cobb can probably use those cards, he's significantly less wealthy than the other four...

These guys should play for 30,000/year and the rest should be taken from them. What do they need more than an apartment, food and a midsize sedan anyway?

Don't make it political. We're talking about a couple hundred bucks voluntarily given that would net them an amazing amount of goodwill.

[mraynrand]

Don't make it political. We're talking about a couple hundred bucks voluntarily given that would net them an amazing amount of goodwill.

Don't make it political. I'm talking about self-righteous people who think they know best how other people should spend their money.

[gbpackfan]

Maybe we should start attacking players like we are attacking police officers and fire fighters. All of sudden they are the enemy. What a great system. Go out and risk your life every day for a thankless public and then don't you dare complain when that same public tries to take away your pay, health benefits and pension. And if you dare say anything, you will be told YOUR LUCKY YOU HAVE A JOB! Bwahahahaha.

Now that is making it political. Ignore that rant. I just needed to get it out.

Back to the Pack...

Is this a 10K, 15K, or 25K fine?

[gbgary]

hopefully

[pbmax]

Don't make it political. I'm talking about self-righteous people who think they know best how other people should spend their money.

We covered this earlier in the week. The cards as gifts to teammates set up a perverse incentive to root for teammates to fail. The system needs work.

[pbmax]

Is this a 10K, 15K, or 25K fine?

What isn't clear from these snippets is that this Viking, or someone lined up next to him, used some form of leverage to jump high into the air to attempt to block the kick. I think Lang put the guy on his ass. Which is why he is not happy.

[pbmax]

Chad Clifton said his hamstring injury was a partial tear and doesn't know if they'll IR him but he thinks he has a chance to return

#Packers LT Chad Clifton on his hamstring injury: It was a partial tear, but not completely off the bone so no surgery was required.

I saw that at game speed and thought that would be a penalty.

As usual the cheapshot lowlife scumbag purple slime goatsuckers were cheating as much as they could.

[Guiness]

Actually, I just want to know the bit where he doesn't get ejected!!!

[Gunakor]

As much money as rookie Randall Cobb is making this year - the only one of the group on a rookie contract - I doubt $100 gift cards provide much incentive. If the guys were only taking home $2500 game checks every week then I'd be more concerned. As it is, there's nothing they could get with a couple dozen gift cards that they couldn't afford on their own salary. I don't find the incentive to fail argument plausible.

That shot was above the groin area. Perhaps an attempt to expell a lodged piece of pretzel. It's all in the game or no affront to speak of. A mnimal fine if any at all.

[Pugger]

Allen schooled him all day. Of course Allen can make seasoned veterans look silly but Rodgers had to scramble around the pocket more than normal. Eventually they left Kuhn in there to assist on obvious passing downs. I also noticed on the last drive we ran to the right successfully too. Thankfully Rodgers didn't get hurt. I'm sure Newhouse learned a lot yesterday afternoon!

[mmmdk]

The refs should be fined too...I mean, the ref was starring right at it plus other must have been too. Disgrace!

[Pugger]

Even tho the offending Viking player says he wasn't aiming for the groin and he missed high I have a hard time believing it was "all in the game".

One thing is for sure, at the end of the season Vikings banquet, he will receive the "Corey Fuller Cheap Shot Trophy."

Good god, people, it was just an idea for how to take something they're ALREADY DOING and get a little community service/good, touchy feely karma out of it. Get over yourselves. Geez.

[Fritz]

We all seem to be expressing great concern over TJ Lang's balls.

Daryn College would have started to bleed from his mangina.....

[Pugger]

A Raven player got ejected from the game tonight in Jax for punching a Jaguar in the face so I'd love to know why Robinson didn't get 'kicked' out of the game on Sunday. :crazy:
