Official Packers Versus Colts GameDay Thread

[red]

TD Jones! Jones might be midseason MVP if it isn't Ginge.
been his break out year for sure

[Rastak]

thank fucking christ

He don't give a rats ass about football methinks...

[channtheman]

Defense needs to get a turnover. Unfortunately, we have defensive backs with wood planks for hands.

[Cheesehead Craig]

On a completely unrelated note. I forgot to put Bradshaw in my fantasy lineup and he's run for over 200 yds today.

[Packers4Glory]

missed green wide open for 2. IDK how the fuck he missed that

[pbmax]

Green ought to be a killer on pass downs with 6 in a box. So easy for him to make someone miss apparently.

[pittstang5]

At least we don't have to worry about kick returns

[gbgary]

COME ON D!!

[pittstang5]

NEED a TO Def. Please!!!! My heart can't take it.

[channtheman]

Stone hand Woodson makes another appearance! I think that's his 3rd this game.

[pbmax]

Finally new center coughed up yards for Packers

[pittstang5]

Turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover, turnover...Pretty please

[Cheesehead Craig]

No pressure, easy completion

[pbmax]

No pressure.

[pittstang5]

Fucking Burnett...AGAIN

[channtheman]

We're gonna lose.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Wow. Hell of a catch.

[pittstang5]

Please football gods, Please.

[Rastak]

We're gonna lose.



Wouldn't make that assumption just yet.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Holy shit. Smith made a good play.

[channtheman]

Wouldn't make that assumption just yet.

It makes me feel better when it happens.

[ThunderDan]

Alright D up for 2 for plays.

[Packers4Glory]

can't we double wayne..FFS

[Cheesehead Craig]

If the D can stop them on 3rd, they will go for it on 4th for sure. So need 2 good plays here by the D

[pittstang5]

3 man rush coming I bet. Luck will just throw to whoever Burnett is covering.

[ThunderDan]

Another come from behind 4th quarter victory for Rogers?

[gbgary]

headed for hail mary again.

[Rastak]

It makes me feel better when it happens.


Yea, I know how it goes.....more than you probably...lol....

[Cheesehead Craig]

NOOOOOOOOO

[pbmax]

I cannot believe that.

[channtheman]

Yup... we are going to lose. Football gods hate us this year.

[pittstang5]

game over. Luck is on their side.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Unfuckingbelievable.

[pbmax]

Woodson bailed on his middle zone.

[ThunderDan]

Keep them out of the end zone!

[gbgary]

COME ON D!

[channtheman]

2 more plays

[pbmax]

Embarrassing.

[channtheman]

That's just pathetic

[Cheesehead Craig]

That was such a pussy defense there.

[denverYooper]

Dangit

[channtheman]

wtf so obvious he had a first down.

[Rastak]

wtf so obvious he had a first down.


By a mile....

[pittstang5]

Fucking Pathetic. 21 to 3 lead and blown. PATHETIC!!!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

move the ball back to the 3 1/2.

[channtheman]

Our offense really blows this year.

[pittstang5]

Need a turnover

[Tony Oday]

This is a pathetic game for the Packers.

[pittstang5]

Game over

[channtheman]

lol gg Packers, gg. Fucking losers.

[Cheesehead Craig]

What a pathetic half of football this was.

[pbmax]

Horrible.

[gbgary]

dammit.

[ThunderDan]

Still ahve a chance.

[ThunderDan]

This game is totally on MM.

[Packers4Glory]

shitty

[pittstang5]

Absolutley pathetic, huge lead and blown. McCarthy and his fukcing "Cute " playing calling. Burnett who can't cover a barn. Fucking Pathetic!

[ThunderDan]

Need to get to the 40.

[Packers4Glory]

i'm revising my record prediction...9-7

[gbgary]

better keep people in to block

[ThunderDan]

Hitch AND GO for the TD.

[channtheman]

should have called TO, fucking idiots.

[pittstang5]

Crosby will miss either way, so game over.

[pbmax]

Not sure about this

[channtheman]

Fucking morons.

[ThunderDan]

OT or bust!

[channtheman]

Crosby, is he clutch or not? Now we find out.

[pbmax]

What was that?

[Cheesehead Craig]

What a shank.

[ThunderDan]

Not even close.

[channtheman]

gonna miss. That fucker is useless.

[gbgary]

ouch

[ThunderDan]

What a horrible second half.

[pittstang5]

WEll that was gay. Crosby sucks. Well not really, but that should have been makeable for him. But, that's just the way this game went.

[Packers4Glory]

not a fun team to watch at all. they got shredded by Luck.

Chicago is the class of this division. their D at least gives them a chance.

[Packers4Glory]

speaking of kickers...the Rams have found an absolute steal. That guys got a leg and is cool as ice. i wish he were a Packer

[pbmax]

Why did he suddenly develop a fade on his FGs this year? He had that in the preseason too.

[pittstang5]

Well good for the Colts, they played a game. Packers on the other hand have a lot of work to do, mainly PLAY CALLING!!!!

See ya next week, I can't stand to watch anymore football today now.

[pbmax]

speaking of kickers...the Rams have found an absolute steal. That guys got a leg and is cool as ice. i wish he were a Packer

Legatron? Greg the Leg?

[Smeefers]

Well, at least all you rat bastards are as pissed off as I am.

[Fosco33]

Without CedBen - M3 didn't adjust and Arod didn't make the plays. Time of Possession killed the defense in 2nd half - and on last drive.

When we did adjust -too little, too late. Missed 2pt conversion hurt a lot. Time out on 2nd down after a spike. WTF. Cant place a ton of blame on Crosby - 50/50 from 50+. That's all on the offense.

And wtf - does the Defense need a fricken ball hawk lesson. I counted 4-5 possible INTs.

Total team lack of execution and keeping a team with a lot to play for in the game.

Wow. Maybe we aren't that good afterall??? And it makes the Seattle game hurt even more.

[Fosco33]

Disappointing all around... Defense played like pussies on last drive. 3 chances to make a hit - and decided to glace off.

Add the injuries from last 2 weeks - both Jennings, Finley, Raji, etc. - this one hurts. literally

[pittstang5]

I really think Raji's injury hurt. There was little to no pressure up the middle and lanes clogged, giving Luck ability to see.

[red]

i saw a team that just didn't give a shit in the second half

if i see one more dumb motherfucker laughing after a dropped pass or int, i'm gonna shoot the stupid fuck

[pittstang5]

Seems like once a player goes done. i.e. Benson today. The offense just can't recover or if they do, it's too little too late. McCarthy and the Staff needs to do a better job of getting back up guys ready. This is the NFL, players are going to get hurt, you have to be prepared for that.

[BallHawk]

Shitty game. Yeah. But, really, did nobody see this coming? Not making excuses, but you knew the Colts were gonna come out playing tough for Pagano.

Assuming Benson and (more importantly) Raji's injuries aren't too serious, we'll be fine. Playing Houston next week will be the true test to see how good of a team we are.

Anybody who thinks we stink is overreacting. It's the same team as last year. Yeah, maybe we overperformed last year, but the talent is still there.

We have 5 division games left this year. The division is far from over and you've gotta think Rodgers and the crew will get it together at some point.

Let's just hope it's sooner rather than later.

[pittstang5]

Love the way you think!

[red]

screaming for quick slants all day and when do we finally throw one? with 30 seconds left in the game when we need 80 yards.

good for 4

[Fosco33]

Shitty game. Yeah. But, really, did nobody see this coming? Not making excuses, but you knew the Colts were gonna come out playing tough for Pagano.

Let's just hope it's sooner rather than later.

Yeah - lots of time left. But - next week will be very tough. We were supposed to win this game - and it'd be 'ok' if we lost next week. Now - we really need to win next week. 2-4 teams have a tough time making playoffs - even with a very weak middle of the season and division games left.

The Seattle game will hurt us if we lose games like this...

[mmmdk]

It's official; we suck!

[Packers4Glory]

Let's just hope it's sooner rather than later. the offense has been spotty, but the defense is back to its old tricks. True we had 2 more bad calls cost us, but that isnt an excuse to lose to the fucking colts.

they have no killer instinct right now. they should have put this game away early in the 3rd but came out flat and uninterested.

[mraynrand]

That was a really solid team loss. Everyone contributed. Great job, Pack!

[Teamcheez1]

We played poorly in all facets of the game.

MM has the old deer in the headlights look.
Capers D is pathetic.
Rodgers is not playing well.

I haven't seen anything to indicate this team is trending upwards.

[Bossman641]

Disgusted. Offense completely fell asleep for 2 quarters. Defense drops balls left and right. Next week at Houston could be real bad.

[mmmdk]

I know a 51 yarder is not a given but it's also official that Mason Crosby just isn't clutch. Terrible mechanics and simply choking crosby! Sorry, B.

[Joemailman]

Disgusted. Offense completely fell asleep for 2 quarters. Defense drops balls left and right. Next week at Houston could be real bad.

We got 'em right where we want 'em. They'll probably be overconfident.

[Harlan Huckleby]

if i see one more dumb motherfucker laughing after a dropped pass or int, i'm gonna shoot the stupid fuck

BTW, Finley dropped a pass just before injuring his shoulder. Let the record show.

[red]

[denverYooper]

if i see one more dumb motherfucker laughing after a dropped pass or int, i'm gonna shoot the stupid fuck

They sure looked morose after they were up big. Playing not to lose, and they got beat up on.

[digitaldean]

This is a total team loss. The drops by TWill in end zone and Woodson were just tip of iceberg on d's crumbling in 2nd half. The INT on Rodgers was the turning point. Getting any score would have had a deflating effect on the Colts. That gave a young team a chance to hang around. Don't care about their coach being out. GOOD teams put their foot on their opponent and finish them off. Right now we are not a good team. At least 5 dropped passes today (mostly on Finley) were inexcusable. This should have been a 38-10 blowout, but instead we let a below average team with a rookie QB beat us. Subpar effort, falls on coaches and players alike.

[denverYooper]

Yeah - lots of time left. But - next week will be very tough. We were supposed to win this game - and it'd be 'ok' if we lost next week. Now - we really need to win next week. 2-4 teams have a tough time making playoffs - even with a very weak middle of the season and division games left.

The Seattle game will hurt us if we lose games like this...

Rams will be trying to beat the shit out of this offense too. There's a pretty real chance the Packers are 2-5 coming off of the road.

[denverYooper]

Wow. Maybe we aren't that good afterall??? And it makes the Seattle game hurt even more.

I was thinking the same. Maybe they're just not that good any more. Maybe they grew complacent and teams are passing them by. I don't know. Maybe the breaks they got last year are coming back on them.

Perhaps my homerism is blinding me but I still feel like they're one of the more talented teams and just seem to be getting out-efforted. But maybe they really just are not that much better than mediocre.

[red]

maybe teams figured out that our ultra special play is to just drop back and chuck the ball up

stop that, and it seems that you've stopped us

[Fosco33]

I'd have to say a very big play in the game... the PF on Perry on the sack/fumble/recovery...

11:31 2nd Ind 3rd & 5 at Ind32 Andrew Luck sacked at Ind17 for a loss of 8 yards by Nick Perry. Penalty: Unnecessary Roughness on Green Bay (Nick Perry) 15 yards.

It gave them a 1st down - and sure - they punted but ended up scoring after we went 3/out.

Another 3 or 7 points there could've been big.

Sometimes I wish they'd let mean/clean hits go.

[denverYooper]

Disgusted. Offense completely fell asleep for 2 quarters. Defense drops balls left and right. Next week at Houston could be real bad.

Or maybe this is a wakeup call. They'll have to play like they have nothing to lose next week because the Texans are as combobulated as the Packers are discombobulated atm.

[denverYooper]

maybe teams figured out that our ultra special play is to just drop back and chuck the ball up

The Ravens have been trying that this year. Maybe the Chiefs shut theirs down too and everyone will get after it.

sure - and there were all kinds of other big plays, including several dropped INTs, two missed FGs, missed extra points, and near misses in pass rushes. It takes a village to lose a game like this.

how bout the PI on shields with perfect coverage again and getting shoved, Indy scored on that drive. Complete bullshit calls again this week.....

[denverYooper]

Seriously, though. Rodgers is still looking deep a lot and it seems to kill them at times. That or he is getting reluctant to pull the trigger in small windows and not taking throws he would have routinely made last year. Maybe a bit of both...

The PI on Shields hurt too. It basically gave the Colts a TD and Shields was not as aggressive after that.

[Packers4Glory]

the roughing call on Perry's sack and that PI on shields. Both plays hurt.

But lets face it, this is a team we should have blown apart. They were starting back ups at CB. The offense is loaded w/ rookies. Yet we let Wayne ass fuck us the entire game. HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT HAPPEN?


The entire team disappeared in the 2nd half apparently on cruise control because of the lead. no killer instinct and a lot of bad play and coaching.

[Fritz]

Wow. Dropped interceptions. Letting Reggie Wayne run free. Rodgers horrible. Crosby sucking it up in a dome.

[denverYooper]

Damn, though. Their coach has leukemia. That's some real shit.

[pittstang5]

Both the Vikings and Bears are ROLLING, Mother Fucking Rolling, over the Titans and Jags, respectively - as they should be. Yet we let a sub-par team hang around and in the end, screw us up the ass with no lube. I'm so frustrated with this entire team.

Good teams beat teams that they should. I guess the Packers just aren't good. With McCarthy's "Let's go for it all," play calling, Caper's "I can't adjust on the fly" defense and players still having "miscommunication" in the secondary - there's no way this team is going to be able to even sniff the playoffs.

Ok, I'll back away from the edge now.

Yeah, Wayne had over 200 yards. 200 YARDS. He IS their only WR. They have NO ONE else. 200 YARDS.

Makes ya wonder how many yards Johnson is going to have against them next week. Fantasy owners have to be drooling.

Didn't the Colts beat the Vikings straight up? Frustrating loss, indeed.

Yeah well they beat the Bears once and I have a feeling that they'll win most of their division games. The trick will be to be close enough to the top at the end for that to matter.

[Joemailman]

Wow. Dropped interceptions. Letting Reggie Wayne run free. Rodgers horrible. Crosby sucking it up in a dome.

You're mostly right, but Rodgers was not horrible. Not great, but when your offense produces 4 TD's you should win. The defense let one receiver beat them, and that is unacceptable.

[pbmax]

One preseason loss and one reg season loss. That should finish me for Game Day thread honors for the season. Load off my mind.

And since the Packers 2nd half put me off football, I am going to go catch up on Fringe with Netflix instead of be frustrated with inept offense.

[pbmax]

Shitty game. Yeah. But, really, did nobody see this coming? Not making excuses, but you knew the Colts were gonna come out playing tough for Nagano.

Colts played like crap for a half because they were too keyed up. Packers should have buried them so they couldn't use it as motivation in 2nd half.

[Joemailman]

I think we need Bretsky to bring the Whammy back. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

[pbmax]

I think Rodgers concern about the line (esp. Newhouse who held up alright) is hurting him. Take that plus losing Jennings, Finley being in a receiving coma, then Benson going out; that is a precision offense that has lost a lot of its precision, lost the guy who is so big and talented that precision used to not matter plus the banger who keeps cover 2 honest. Its not all that is wrong, Cobb, Jones and Jordy should be able to do something, but Rodgers clearly does not trust them as much as he does Jennings.

That thrown in the second half to Jordy in the middle of the field with a LB underneath and a safety over the top, he airmailed it so almost no one could catch it, but there was a window for Nelson there. But he didn't want to risk a pick.

[pbmax]

And I still don't think that was a crown of the helmet hit by Perry. Replay may make a liar of me, but I think it was clean.

Back to Fringe.

[rbaloha1]

Warned the board about Winning one for the Gipper.

[mmmdk]

I think we need Bretsky to bring the Whammy back. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

I'm all for it but it's versus Houston Texans and that's just not fair to Bs chances for a new W streak.

[pittstang5]

And I still don't think that was a crown of the helmet hit by Perry. Replay may make a liar of me, but I think it was clean.

Back to Fringe.

Replay showed why a flag was thrown - at least to me it did. Perry's helmet got under Lucks chin and pushed his helmet up a smidge. In real time, it probably looked like helmet to helmet. Still a bad call, but I see why the flag was thrown.

That PI on Shields though, I just don't understand. I've rewatched it 5 times, I give up. Refs are out for Green Bay, I swear.

[Pugger]

oh don't worry, we are all well aware that he dropped the ball BEFORE he was injured

At least he was open enough for Rodgers to throw him the ball. He's got the drops but why in the hell couldn't Nelson or somebody ELSE get open in the second half?

[Pugger]

how bout the PI on shields with perfect coverage again and getting shoved, Indy scored on that drive. Complete bullshit calls again this week.....

I thought that was on Tramon?

[mraynrand]

Colts played like crap for a half because they were too keyed up. Packers should have buried them so they couldn't use it as motivation in 2nd half.

They did. It was called a penalty.

[denverYooper]

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/10/08/refo-packers-colts-week-5/


It seems strange to say given the success Reggie Wayne was able to have in this game but the Green Bay coverage was actually pretty good. They essentially shut down everybody except Wayne, and he was at an unplayable level for much of the game. Tramon Williams (+4.3), Sam Shields (+1.2), Charles Woodson (+1.5) and Casey Hayward (+2.1) all graded positively in coverage, combining for seven passes defensed and an interception. Williams led the charge with five PD’s to himself and allowed 10 yards on two catches from 9 targets on passes intended for anybody other than Wayne in the game. Without Wayne making frankly ridiculous plays all through the game, they would have left Luck with nowhere to go with the ball on numerous occasions.

Just insane. 20 targets to Wayne.

[Joemailman]

They should have double-teamed Wayne in the 2nd half. It was obvious by then he was having a great game. Take him out of the game and make their other rather average receivers beat you.

[Smidgeon]

That PI on Shields though, I just don't understand. I've rewatched it 5 times, I give up. Refs are out for Green Bay, I swear.

I replayed the flagged Perry play a few times in order to figure out what the ref said in explanation of the penalty. The stupid announcers couldn't keep their mouths shut long enough, and were talking about the wrong thing anyway.

What the ref said was not that Perry was flagged for helmet to helmet, but that he was flagged for hitting a defenseless player with his helmet (AKA spearing). It didn't matter if he went for the chest. He led with his helmet and was thusly flagged. Meanwhile the announcers are talking about helmet to helmet... :roll:

[Joemailman]

Not sure what Perry is supposed to do there. If he doesn't lower his helmet, then it's probably helmet to helmet. Is he supposed to aim his right shoulder for Luck's right shoulder and tackle him with his right arm?

[Freak Out]

They should have double-teamed Wayne in the 2nd half. It was obvious by then he was having a great game. Take him out of the game and make their other rather average receivers beat you.

Not a bad strategy....not sure why Capers or Stubby didn't come up with such a concept though. The few highlights I saw today really bummed me out....I listened to the game on Sirius, and as good as the radio announcers are watching a collapse is much worse than listening to one. :)

WTF was up with Crosby? Fuck man...at least get it close.

WTF happened at the end of the game with the TO?

[Packers4Glory]

They should have game planned to take Wayne away and make Brown and the other WR beat us. Now we face one of the best next week and I can only imagine what Calvin Johnson is going to do to us when we play Det later.

fuck we couldn't take away Indy's only weapon and now we go up against an extremely talented and balanced Texan team w/ multiple weapons.

[wist43]

Not sure what Perry is supposed to do there. If he doesn't lower his helmet, then it's probably helmet to helmet. Is he supposed to aim his right shoulder for Luck's right shoulder and tackle him with his right arm?

It was absolutely a stupid play by Perry - everyone knows you can't lead with your helmet. The ref made the right call... and I knew it was a penalty before the flag was thrown.

The Packers are poorly coached and undisciplined. All of the mental mistakes and penalties scream unpreparedness - that's on the coaching staff.

Complete bullshit, anything to further your cause. That was a clean hit. If that isn't a clean hit, just get the damn flags out already.

Yes, because they have never stopped Calvin Johnson before...

yeah our offense was top notch last yr and we won a super bowl the yr prior...so fucking what?

Turns out, Capers said they were double teaming Wayne at times.

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/173187761.html


"He’s a good receiver and he had a good day," Capers said. "There were times where we had him doubled and he caught the ball. Any time that you have two guys committed to one guy, you don’t want him to come up with the ball. The percentages should be in your favor. He had a good day and Luck, as we talked about last week, is a talented young man. You saw he’s a big, strong guy. He’s got good movement. There were a couple times where we had him wrapped up and he kind of shook us off and pulled the ball down in a couple of critical situations. A couple other times, he scrambled outside – and that was after taking some pretty good hits."

Not sure what's worse. Not double-teaming a guy who's killing you, or double-teaming a guy and still not being able to stop him.

Complete bullshit, anything to further your cause. That was a clean hit. If that isn't a clean hit, just get the damn flags out already.

That hit was clean as the driven snow

Been avoiding this place for 2 days because I had the game recorded and wanted to watch it spoiler free.

Wow. Just wow, I can't believe what I saw. It was a total collapse.

The main thing that got me was the 2-x-x formations. I know Raji went down, but were we left without enough healthy linemen? Why did we have 2 down linemen time after time when Indi was running the ball so much in that quarter???

That PI against Shields...

Where the fuck where you hiding that you didnt hear about it? Cant be Alaska cuz Freakout would have told you about the choke job.

Luckily, no one at work is really an NFL fan, and for two days I did a damn good job of avoiding anyone who was!

Haven't read through the thread, and I bet it's a nasty one.

Not as bad as the Seahawks one was.

But good for you. I missed the Saints game and couldn't watch it until the following Wednesday. I managed to avoid mention of anything NFL except on a teleconference when someone wanted to talk about the Panthers...
