Official Packers vs. 49ers Game Day Thread

[Joemailman]

What a great way to start the season! I suspect one of these 2 teams will be in the Super Bowl. As for today:

Packers 30
49ers 24

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[MadtownPacker]

Fuck we couldn't find a winner to make the thread?

[Joemailman]

Captain Kickass requested me, so shut the hell up!

You're stuck with me as long as the Packers win. :pack:

[Packers4Glory]

in on page won

[CaptainKickass]

Captain Kickass requested me, so shut the hell up!

You're stuck with me as long as the Packers win. :pack:

Well - I went along with the "if you started the last game day thread and they win, you continue starting the gameday thread until the lose" bit.

So, yeah

Shut the hell up!

:five:

[MadtownPacker]

Problem is The Postman made the first two preseason game threads too. This is a big game so you mfers better not blow this shit.

[pbmax]

Jason Wilde ‏@jasonjwilde
#Packers inactives: Boykin, Richardson, House, Ross, Starks, Lattimore, Daniels.

Problem is The Postman made the first two preseason game threads too. This is a big game so you mfers better not blow this shit.

Nope. The second game was on jmbarnes. I refused to do the 2nd one after the Game 1 disaster. So I was 2-1 in the preseason. :mrgreen:

[pbmax]

Jason Wilde ‏@jasonjwilde
And your Niners' inactives ... RT @49ers: #49ers inactives, QB Tolzien, WR Ginn Jr., RB James, RB Jacobs, G Looney, TE Celek, NT Williams.

[pbmax]

Somewhat surprised Daniels is inactive. But I take it to mean there is a lot of Wilson and Merling in the D gameplan.

[Packers4Glory]

Somewhat surprised Daniels is inactive. But I take it to mean there is a lot of Wilson and Merling in the D gameplan.


ugh

wilson.

ugh

[Fosco33]

Let's go pack. I'm not going to get too upset or joyous based on this game. It's a long season and this is just the start.

But here's what I'm hoping:
- Arod comes out with similar energy, efficiency and production as last few years
- CMIII returns to DMVP type season given the rook playing opposite deserves some attention

I think it's gonna be a bit of a back/forth affair - but the Pack should end up on top.

[ThunderDan]

Go Pack Go!

[George Cumby]

OGDP.

GO PACK GO!

[pbmax]

Jennings warming up with #1 D. Assume this mention was base 3-4.

EDIT: Brain cramp. It was nickel/dime.

[mmmdk]

Something wrong with NFL rules when a guy like Alex Smith is a winning QB. Beat the f@ucking c@cksucking FortyWhiners or be eternally damned!

[Tony Oday]

Come on Pack! The rest of the division got practical bye games today time to show the NFL that the Pack is the best team around!

[pbmax]

And hello PASS RUSH!

[mmmdk]

CLAYMAKER

[MadScientist]

Pass Rush!

[Tony Oday]

CLAYMAKER FOR MAYOR!!!

[pbmax]

Perry with a nice bull rush as well.

And Cobb with another drop. He might not be long for being back there.

And a flag!!

[Guiness]

So nice by Mathews - blew right by the LT.
edit: blew right through the LT.

Wasn't sure at first who is was, was so hoping it was Perry.

Cobb recovering his own fumble on the PR. Jesus.

[pbmax]

Block in the back on kicking team?

[MadScientist]

Block in the back by the kicking team!!??

[pbmax]

Terrible call

[pbmax]

That was the shakiest measurement I have ever seen.

[mmmdk]

Helmet gate....

[pbmax]

Flag for losing his helmet. He took it off.

[MadScientist]

Which one of you paid off the refs?

[MJZiggy]

If the damn Saints take this to overtime, I'm going to be exceptionally pissed!! I have a game to watch here, people. Come on Redskins, run out the clock!! Oh, and First Row sports has been seized. Bastards!

[mmmdk]

Flag for losing his helmet. He took it off.

No doubt!

[denverYooper]

Aikman doing backflips saying that the helmet call was wrong. I know it hit Rodgers's foot but Smith did a terrible job of selling the idea that he was just taking it the rest of the way off. It's not like he just lifted it off and walked away. The bang-bang view sure looked like he just ripped it off and slammed it on the ground.

[pbmax]

Its a catch.

[gbgary]

dude could have pulled his helmet on...but he pulled it off.

[pbmax]

McCarthy's anti opposing coach flag defense will get another win.

harbaugh losing his mind. I would enjoy it more if I wasn't convinced he loves it.

[mmmdk]

Aikman doing backflips saying that the helmet call was wrong. I know it hit Rodgers's foot but Smith did a terrible job of selling the idea that he was just taking it the rest of the way off.

We got lucky there prompted by poor youth judgement. Let's hope AR doesn't get tossed around today!

[Tony Oday]

If he just took it off and didnt throw the helmet it wouldnt have been a penalty.

BOOM catch!

[pbmax]

Its 4 yards and a cloud of dust!

[Tony Oday]

Damn I love that 4 yard carry!

[Tony Oday]

Its 4 yards and a cloud of dust!

better than 3 ;)

[pbmax]

Newhouse you DOPE!

[mmmdk]

BAM! False start!!

[pbmax]

Finley was open.

[mmmdk]

Rodgers gonna get killed!!! :mad:

[pittstang5]

Newhouse already had his hands full and struggling - false start says it all.

[Packers4Glory]

newhouse sucks!

[pbmax]

We should keep a plus minus for Newhouse if he's going to do that. So far, -3.

[pittstang5]

Newhouse needs help - plain and simple.

[pittstang5]

Damn, Raji collapsed that like a tin can

[pbmax]

Raji right through the middle

[pbmax]

Why did Hawk wait for Crabtree to turn around?

[pbmax]

Perry got held BIG TIME

[Packers4Glory]

defense still sucks too.

[pittstang5]

How was he wide open - oh, it's bush. Nevemind

[Rutnstrut]

Defense still looks bad.

[pbmax]

Perry got held BIG TIME

Seriously, if not for that hold Smith was going to get hurt.

[pittstang5]

Defense still looks bad.

Middle of the field has always been a problem for this defense.

[denverYooper]

I will say this: the defense is getting more pressure and generally looks better. San Fran is driving right now but it's not because the QB has all day to find a throw.

[pittstang5]

WEll at least they held them to 3

[mmmdk]

At least I got some FP here...

[Rutnstrut]

Middle of the field has always been a problem for this defense.

Yup, I should have been more specific. The tackling also looks a little sloppy, hopefully that's just rust.

[pittstang5]

Look out for onside kick

[gbgary]

Defense still looks bad.

too early to tell.

[gbgary]

was that chuck cecil?

[pittstang5]

Dink and dunk guys, dink and dunk

[denverYooper]

Cobbed!

[denverYooper]

They might want to block Aldon Smith at some point.

[pittstang5]

God Damn! A. Smith is EVERYWHERE!

[mmmdk]

was that chuck cecil?

Yes, kinda! :lol:

[pbmax]

That time Benson had a hole on an earlier cut. But keep giving him some chances M3

[mmmdk]

BAM BENSON! 2 yards.

[pittstang5]

Ugh!

[pbmax]

That throw could have been better. Jones had a step and the outside open.

[denverYooper]

Man, Benson got clotheslined on that. Niners bit hard but GB didn't finish.

[mmmdk]

Now that's a real D!

[pittstang5]

I think it's a little too early to go deep like that (refering to the bomb to Jones). They were doing good with short yard passes. Had it been 2nd and 5 or less, maybe, but not on 2nd and 8.

[denverYooper]

Now that's a real D!

That real D was a few inches away from getting torched.

[packer4life]

I think it's a little too early to go deep like that (refering to the bomb to Jones). They were doing good with short yard passes. Had it been 2nd and 5 or less, maybe, but not on 2nd and 8.

They are looking at Jennings a lot in the slot. Interesting they slit jones out wide on that one.

[denverYooper]

That real D was a few inches away from getting torched.

But I agree that it is nice to see aggressive, flying-to-the-ball sure-tackling excellence :).

[red]

well, i'll say the same damn thing i've said the last 3 or 4 years now

if jarrett bush is starting for us, then the offseason was a complete failure

[mmmdk]

That real D was a few inches away from getting torched.

I know! We've got the Aaron Rodgers Packers.

[Fosco33]

Time for a turnover... need a momentum play

[pbmax]

You take that shot to Jones on single coverage. Its how you shake someone free deep who isn't a speed demon.

[packer4life]

Give Bush a chance. He hasn't made a big mistake...yet

[red]

Give Bush a chance. He hasn't made a big mistake...yet

ahem

[pbmax]

Not hand in back Troy. He held him.

[mmmdk]

Give Bush a chance. He hasn't made a big mistake...yet

...after those two terms? NO WAY!! :wink:

[pittstang5]

well, i'll say the same damn thing i've said the last 3 or 4 years now

if jarrett bush is starting for us, then the offseason was a complete failure

Jarrett "I just can't keep my hands to myself" Bush

[Packers4Glory]

nice play bush..smart

[packer4life]

i lose

[pbmax]

Worthy and Merling in 2 man line

[pittstang5]

Jarrett "I just can't keep my hands to myself" Bush

OR Jarrett "I give all WRs plenty of room to catch" Bush

[pbmax]

Roughing the Qb

[pittstang5]

Oh great, here we go.

[mmmdk]

Damn, PI.

[mmmdk]

Damn, PI.

Okay...!?

[pittstang5]

Not good...not good.

[red]

Jarrett "I just can't keep my hands to myself" Bush

if you throw at him its gonna be a first down one way or another. either pass-i, holding. or he gives up 10 -15 yards because of the cushion he always plays

[denverYooper]

Roughing the Qb

They're not used to this "getting to the quarterback". They need to iron out the kinks.

[mmmdk]

:bs:

[Packers4Glory]

terrible.


look like shit all the way around.

[pittstang5]

Need a turnover....

[pittstang5]

Oh lord...yep, it's gonna be 10 - nothing.

[Rutnstrut]

This D SUCKS!!!!

[pbmax]

Perry losrt his leverage on that coverage

[Brando19]

OMG...what crap am I watching? This team is sucking!

[mmmdk]

Montana is killing the Packers D...or is it Young?

[pittstang5]

HOW the Fuck is he that wide open. Jesus Fucking Christ!

[Packers4Glory]

wide open...wide open....big run...wide open

[pbmax]

Either Burnettt or Smith blew that coverage

[pittstang5]

That was on Burnett?

[red]

this d looks familiar

i thought we were going to get that fixed this year?

guys wide open over the middle, same shit different season

[mmmdk]

If you like this D then you don't know football.

[red]

Either Burnettt or Smith blew that coverage
smith looked like he took the guy that cut over the middle, burnett took no one

[pbmax]

CJ Wilson is hurt. Apparently limping.

[beveaux1]

Looks like McGinn is right.

[Joemailman]

Either Burnettt or Smith blew that coverage

I can't believe they're expecting D.J. Smith to cover Moss that far down the middle of the field.

[gbgary]

we need to start jamming these te's and wr's instead of letting them run free.

[pbmax]

smith looked like he took the guy that cut over the middle, burnett took no one

Yes, but they audibled out of something and it wasn't clear Smith heard it.

[pittstang5]

I love football season. Blood pressure goes up, dog runs away scared from all thy yelling, Wife shoots me dirty looks.

I'm getting too old for this shit

[Brando19]

We miss our elite safety....hell we miss an average safety!

[denverYooper]

They would have gotten off of the field without the BS Roughing call.

[pbmax]

I can't believe they're expecting D.J. Smith to cover Moss that far down the middle of the field.

That's what is unclear. If it was Smith, you would expect help deep. But Burnett called a coverage and moved up and wide

[pittstang5]

we need to start jamming these te's and wr's instead of letting them run free.

Or at least be in the vicinity of a TE or WR

[pbmax]

They would have gotten off of the field without the BS Roughing call.

Yep. It hurt

[denverYooper]

They would have gotten off of the field without the BS Roughing call.

Though to be fair, the Niners D overcame a BS call earlier in the game that could have resulted in the Packers taking control.

[pittstang5]

They would have gotten off of the field without the BS Roughing call.

Yep - gotta remember that.

[pbmax]

Helo Jordy.

[packer4life]

LETS GO PACK

[pittstang5]

Workhorse Cobb, bring it to them!

[Packers4Glory]

They would have gotten off of the field without the BS Roughing call.

there was no need for Clay to do that tho. he should have pulled up as it was right in front of him. He had to see Smith get rid of it.

[denverYooper]

Rodgers still a lil behind his WRs.

[mmmdk]

We miss our elite safety....hell we miss an average safety!

Add OL & DL depth to even scratch average in the trenches.

[pittstang5]

WTF! No flag for PI. He grabbed his damn shirt! C'mon!!

[Packers4Glory]

how are we not getting that pass int call? he clearly grabbed him. geezus.

[Packers4Glory]

run the fucking ball 1st and 5.

[red]

god damn jones is slow

god damn i'm sick of these shitty replacement refs

[mmmdk]

WTF! No flag for PI. He grabbed his damn shirt! C'mon!!

True but the Niners are beating us worse.

[pittstang5]

how are we not getting that pass int call? he clearly grabbed him. geezus.

Packers got a couple their way, now it's going to the other way.

[denverYooper]

4 down territory.

[pbmax]

Not sure what that pass to Finley was about but Nelson fixed it.

[pittstang5]

If that's OFF. PI, Im gonna let loose!

[denverYooper]

Awww shit.

[Packers4Glory]

wow

[pbmax]

He's going to get called for two hands.

[mmmdk]

JJ - YOU SUCK.

[pittstang5]

Give me a break. C'mon guys!!!!

[Rutnstrut]

That's the only way that fucking worthless Jones would catch anything.

[denverYooper]

JJ - YOU SUCK.

Pretty bad day for him so far.

[red]

fuck me

i'm about to have a few more beers. grab my 12 gauge and head down to green bay to make sure these refs don't leave town alive

[pbmax]

Great pitch and catch to Finley.

[mmmdk]

Feed the Finster!

[pittstang5]

Keep Rollin, guys, LET's Go!

[pbmax]

And gets low to keep the yardage

[pittstang5]

fuck me

i'm about to have a few more beers. grab my 12 gauge and head down to green bay to make sure these refs don't leave town alive

Red, when ya leaving - I'm right there with ya!

[Packers4Glory]

That's the only way that fucking worthless Jones would catch anything.

really? it had no effect on the defender he barely touched him. I saw Marshall do much worse all day. the guy never turned to look for the ball at all.

[pbmax]

Lets keep Cobb.

[gbgary]

refs are getting these calls right.

[red]

is cobb gonna be our top WR this year?

[pbmax]

They really call :00 fast these replacement refs. No give at all.

[denverYooper]

Now that's how you act!

[pbmax]

Oh Finley, if that was acting you should get a reward!

[pittstang5]

Fucking a....now Finley is injured. God damn you mother fucking 9ers

[red]

and now finley is hurt

this is one of the worst first halfs i've seen

[pbmax]

He stepped on his foot. Finley was instigating,

[pittstang5]

Yeah Baby!

[pbmax]

Was that four TEs WIDE?

[mmmdk]

TD FINSTER

[red]

thank christ

[denverYooper]

Oh Finley, if that was acting you should get a reward!

Not only was it great acting to get the call. He got a little rope-a-dope off of it too.

Aldon Smith might want to take some notes.

[pittstang5]

God Damn. That was an intense drive. I'm spent!

[denverYooper]

LOL @ Fox playing a Ska version of Bang on the Drum after the TD.

[pittstang5]

Was that four TEs WIDE?

I think it was. Finley, Crabtree and ryan for sure. if Williams is 84 - then yes.

[pbmax]

Twitter comfirms it. That was a four TE wide package for the TD!

[pbmax]

I think it was. Finley, Crabtree and ryan for sure. if Williams is 84 - then yes.

He is. Love it.

[mission]

Awesome drive!! This Cobb wrinkle is genius! Loving it. Lotta game left, let's get some stops.

[Packers4Glory]

4 wide 1st and goal from the 1.

unreal. lucky pass and catch in traffic.

[packer4life]

Lets keep Cobb.

agree to agree

[pbmax]

4 wide 1st and goal from the 1.

unreal. lucky pass and catch in traffic.

4 wide TEs. Defense can't sub for that. If they go coverage, you run wide. They go big, you split out and throw.

[beveaux1]

Let's play defense, now.

[pittstang5]

Use the momentum Defense. Feed off it! Let's Go!

[denverYooper]

Vandermause has Packers driving 105 yards for that TD after penalties.

[pittstang5]

Uh, that's not how you do it.

[Packers4Glory]

alex smith..joe montana

[denverYooper]

Use the momentum Defense. Feed off it! Let's Go!

Seconded.

[Rutnstrut]

If at all possible I think the defense is WORSE than last year.

[pittstang5]

What is this, Packers D is playing way too soft now. Punch em guys, c'mon!

[Fosco33]

For those interested with DVR - go back and look at the supposed delay of game call. It reads 1 sec clearly when the ball is snapped. Add it to the pile of - 'we need quality refs back'.

[mmmdk]

Milli Vanilli D

[pittstang5]

Gotta bring pressure on this down.

[Fosco33]

I get a sense that this Defense is slightly more talented at a few positions - and CMIII will have a good year. But realistically, it's a slightly more aggressive but equally inefficient (in terms of yardage) as last yr. Making Alex Smith look like top tier QB.

[mmmdk]

Flag?

[pbmax]

Oh they get a punt and then a flag. Woodson c'mon

[pittstang5]

Give me a break.

[denverYooper]

Yeah, fuck.

[mmmdk]

Chuck held.

[gbgary]

giving moss too much respect. he's not fast like he used to be. we can run with him.

[red]

capers is up there in age. is it possible he went senile a couple years ago?

[pittstang5]

This is such bullshit. I get the call. But play it on both sides refs!!

[Packers4Glory]

dumb

[Fosco33]

They really call :00 fast these replacement refs. No give at all.

Worse - it was snapped with :01 sec...

[mmmdk]

Can Super Rodgers bail us out?

[red]

even an asshole like aikmen knows that bush is a giant target

[pbmax]

Worse - it was snapped with :01 sec...

Yep. They really have gone the other way here. The normal refs give the QB the benefit of the doubt almost to an absurd degree.

[Rutnstrut]

capers is up there in age. is it possible he went senile a couple years ago?

Then he has always been senile, he sucks.

[pittstang5]

Can Super Rodgers bail us out?



No choice, this defense ain't doing shit.

[beveaux1]

We're playing a completely different defense, safe, double covering the wides....with the same results.

[mmmdk]

No choice, this defense ain't doing shit.

I know but AR went 15-1 in regular season with a # 32 D. He can do it though not likely.

[red]

15 yard cushion given by bush. 15 yard completion

[pbmax]

Holding on a Packer DB there : as in holding on an o lineman

[Zool]

Cut Bush. He's horrible in coverage

[Packers4Glory]

false start...nope.

refs are bad. really bad. worse I've seen today by far.

[mmmdk]

Holding on a Packer DB there : as in holding on an o lineman

Where? Missed it.

[Zool]

Also , pay the fucking refs and rid of these jokes they have replacing them. Also also Joe Buck is increasingly terrible at his job.

[mmmdk]

Fantasy advice: start ALL WRs/TEs facing this D.

[beveaux1]

3rd and 1. Gore time.

[pbmax]

Where? Missed it.

Last blitz. DB went in and got held by the Guard I think.

[gbgary]

troy acts like this is the moss of ten years ago. not the moss who's done nothing for the last three.

[denverYooper]

NICE!

[pbmax]

Hawk with a TFL!?

[beveaux1]

great stop.

[Zool]

Someone light a fire under Hawk today?

[denverYooper]

troy acts like this is the moss of ten years ago. not the moss who's done nothing for the last three.

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Smeefers]

Hawk is having a pretty good day.

[Packers4Glory]

no flag??

plus yes, now the FB flinches and no call. that's the 2nd false start this series not called.

[mmmdk]

Also , pay the fucking refs and rid of these jokes they have replacing them. Also also Joe Buck is increasingly terrible at his job.

...so with the real refs the Niners wouldn't outmuscle us? No fracking way!

[Fosco33]

This is so fucking bad to watch. def 2 - possibly 3 missed false starts on this drive alone. could cost us a fg.

#replacethereplacementrefs

[pbmax]

Greg Aiello and Mike Pereria are currently having a Twitter slap fight.

[mmmdk]

Hawk with a TFL!?

Yup :lol: Crazy Packer D day!

[pbmax]

Someone light a fire under Hawk today?

Helps tht he was unblocked, though he did need to jump

[red]

worse first half? our d, or the fake refs?

[denverYooper]

Someone light a fire under Hawk today?

Rumors that he was going to be traded for Marshawn Lynch.

[red]

joe staley got fucked up

[mmmdk]

worse first half? our d, or the fake refs?

Both!

[red]

now they call false start

[pbmax]

Its like the rules have reverted to 10 years ago. D cannot draw O offside.

[Fosco33]

Its like the rules have reverted to 10 years ago. D cannot draw O offside.

Has to be the guy directly in front of you... didn't know that.

[denverYooper]

Joe Buck loves the passive voice.

[wist43]

wow... they really look like crap

[Packers4Glory]

just run it out. geez.

[pbmax]

There were two guys he could have thrown to Troy.

[wist43]

why call a TO there??

To give the niners time to kick a FG??

[pbmax]

Has to be the guy directly in front of you... didn't know that.

In that formation, that is who it was.

[Packers4Glory]

jones best tackle he'll make all yr

[denverYooper]

Umm, Troy, looked like Jordy had a hole. Maybe Jones, but couldn't tell from the TV angle.

[pittstang5]

Ugh! I knew this game wasn't going to be pretty. Packers keep shooting themselves in the foot. Refs not helping.

Oh, yeah, let's let the the QB run for 20 plus yards.

[wist43]

lol

[beveaux1]

I can't believe this.
