OG Seth Olsen
OG Joe Reitz (starter)

[pbmax]

Yes there is, try Googling First Row Sports

[pbmax]

Yes, M3 will let Rodgers go deep on 3rd and 1 at least twice.

And yes, Capers will play some three man pass rush when its 3rd and 7 or longer.

[mraynrand]

PB, I hope you won't be carrying this thread all by your lonesome. I typically don't do the gameday thread, but Packerrats seems as deserted as a city that was just neutron-bombed.

[denverYooper]

Yes there is, try Googling First Row Sports

Preemtive strike?

[pbmax]

Its because the Captain hasn't obligatory'd yet. I think.

And usually the only bump we need is the Packers to do something unsuccessful and they come out in droves.

[pbmax]

Preemtive strike?

Yes. I wish I had planned this earlier and I would have come up with some others.

[denverYooper]

Bold moves. Just the kind of thing needed to win in today's NFL.

Replacement ref Lance Easley was on CBS trying to defend his simultaneous catch call & offer excuses why he didn’t call OPI. Waste of time.

[ThunderDan]

What the hell is going on out there!

[ThunderDan]

Let's get this wrapped up in the 3rd quarter.

[MadtownPacker]

Shitty local programming, where the streams of this bitch.

[pittstang5]

Newhouse is going to have his hands full if Freeney is indeed starting.

[pbmax]

There were twenty players around that catch. How did it sneak through?

[ThunderDan]

Good push up the middle.

[pittstang5]

Indy already going after the Packers weakness. Quick passes

[pbmax]

Late D cal, Williams wasn't even in position

[pbmax]

Have seen Worthy and WIlson, no Neal yet.

[pbmax]

Zone blitz!

[pittstang5]

Nice play by Walden

[ThunderDan]

Nice zone blitz by Capers.

[pittstang5]

What number is Neal. 96?

[pbmax]

What number is Neal. 96?

Yep.

[wootah]

Anyone a good quality stream? I'm going with http://www.rojadirecta.me/goto/maxdeportv9.blogspot.com/2012/07/canal-19.html right now. Quality is mediocre.

[pbmax]

Apparently Neal was in on 2nd 3rd down play.

Benson 20-30 touches? Really Brian?

[pittstang5]

Yep.

Kinda surprised they activated Neal. Usually the Packers are pretty conservative about bringing players back. He must have shown something in practice.

[ThunderDan]

2/2 to Finley

[pbmax]

Anyone a good quality stream? I'm going with http://www.rojadirecta.me/goto/maxdeportv9.blogspot.com/2012/07/canal-19.html right now. Quality is mediocre.

See first page

[ThunderDan]

Facemask?

[pittstang5]

Ugh, another string out run.

[gbgary]

stop running sideways

[pittstang5]

Damn! overthrown!

[pbmax]

Bush frightened him to the ground.

Greg Manusky is M3's buddy. He is the D coordinator for Colts.

[ThunderDan]

It's nice to have a solid punting game.

[pittstang5]

Very surprised that the offense can't get anything going on 1st drives.

[ThunderDan]

Very surprised that the offense can't get anything going on 1st drives.

Should have had 7 to Jordy on that last throw.

[wootah]

See first page

Thanks , man.

[pittstang5]

Thank god no catch and penalties offset. But there's no reason why # 13 should be that wide open

[pittstang5]

C'mon D!

[ThunderDan]

Come on DJ when you stunt with Walden you ahve outside contain.

[pbmax]

I wonder if DJ Smith was supposed to force Brown outside or he just let him. Because he had a lot of help if he forces him inside.

[pbmax]

Hawk with missed tackle

[pittstang5]

What the hell Mathews

[ThunderDan]

I wonder if DJ Smith was supposed to force Brown outside or he just let him. Because he had a lot of help if he forces him inside.

Stunt with Walden, Walden collapsed the OT inside and Smith looped around.

[pbmax]

Nice job AJ!

[pittstang5]

Holy crap, a RB tackled for a loss. Am I watching the Packers?

[pbmax]

neal in for psycho, or not cause Worthy in as well

[pittstang5]

No pass rush

[ThunderDan]

Neal is in.

[pittstang5]

Bad spot

[pittstang5]

oh great, whats the flag

[pbmax]

Nice non-call on encroachment! :lol:

[pittstang5]

Nice non-call on encroachment! :lol:

Yea, billick was saying that's what the flag might be on. (sigh of relief)

[pbmax]

For a non physical group, Packers play short yardage well/

[gbgary]

nice stand.

[falco]

Nice stop by the D.

[denverYooper]

For a non physical group, Packers play short yardage well/

lol

[denverYooper]

Sitton/Sutton

[denverYooper]

Faked out the camera

[pbmax]

Go Benson!

[falco]

Billick is a dope but I like him as the color guy.

[ThunderDan]

Great run by Benson.

[pittstang5]

I'm glad McCarthy is sticking with the run. results are getting better.

[red]

look at that guy go, just get him the damn ball

[falco]

Haven't seen a GB back run like Benson does since Green back in the day.

[pittstang5]

Billick is a dope but I like him as the color guy.

Really, I always liked him as a coach and like that he commentates now.

[falco]

Really, I always liked him as a coach and like that he commentates now.

He'll mess up a lot of little stuff, but I like his commentary too. Probably one of my favorites; we just don't get him a lot since we don't play a lot of noon games anymore.

[pbmax]

Hoo Boy, thought Finley was making line calls.

[pbmax]

Oh my God a screen and it worked. I might have to go to the fainting couch.

[red]

ced is awesome. what a great screen

[gbgary]

niiiice.

[ThunderDan]

Great screen where was that in the first half verses Seattle?

[pittstang5]

Nice screen. love to see more of that.

[pittstang5]

Great screen where was that in the first half verses Seattle?

AMEN, Brother, AMEN!

Sitton was awesome on the screen

[gbgary]

massive Packer presence in this building.

[pbmax]

In a funny way, that play explains Harrel's fumble. That reverse handoff turn is designed to give the defense a bad read on the run game, because they can't count on the QB movement to tell them who gets the ball OR which way its going in.

The reason for that is the FB could get the ball on the first quarter of the turn. And score a TD!

[denverYooper]

Haven't seen a GB back run like Benson does since Green back in the day.

I was thinking the same. The screen game looks better, too.

[pittstang5]

I'm sure Luck sees two lineman and changes to run

[gbgary]

love it when cheerleaders groom each other.

[pbmax]

Blitz and man coverge worked. Shields is just hellaciously fast.

[ThunderDan]

Gotta love a super fast CB who can cover the WR across the whole field on a crossing route.

[denverYooper]

AMEN, Brother, AMEN!

Sitton was awesome on the screen

That Seattle game may have made them re-imagine the offense a bit.

Sitton and Lang were both down there doing work.

[pbmax]

I barely recognize Hawk from the back. ANd I think Freeney stunted and nearly took Rodgers for a ride with Lang who he was manhandling.

[pittstang5]

ugh, another sideline run.

[pittstang5]

shit Benson hurt!

[pbmax]

They should put that block of Freeney by Lang on a loop for Newhouse. Lang was losing the entire time but held on and stayed with him. The simple fact that his body was between Freeney and Rodgers allowed that pass to be completed.

Benson just took a shot to the head.

[gbgary]

Neck!!

[pbmax]

Green or Kuhn?

[ThunderDan]

Hope its just a twisted ankle and a retape.

[falco]

Green or Kuhn?

5 WR sets

[MadtownPacker]

OK here comes the passfest.

[gbgary]

Green or Kuhn?

Benson.

[pbmax]

Ankle or knee?

[pittstang5]

Benson looked pissed and grabbed his leg, knee

[ThunderDan]

Finley, you want $10M a year, make that catch!

[wootah]

Green or Kuhn?

Cobb.

[pbmax]

Finley should come up with that.

[falco]

Finley, you want $10M a year, make that catch!


+1

[pbmax]

It's a Trap!

[ThunderDan]

Trap on that run by Sitton.

[denverYooper]

Jones is a touchdown machine.

[gbgary]

TD

[wootah]

James Jones is so handsome. He should become a model when he retires.

[pbmax]

I hope its not Benson's knee. He does not look like he is coming back.

[falco]

I hope its not Benson's knee. He does not look like he is coming back.

Next man up...maybe this is a repeat of 2011.

[pittstang5]

Looks like there's no quick fix for Benson, looks like he'll be out for the rest of today. That really sucks.

Please tell me Saine is active, just to take the load off of Kuhn and Green.

[falco]

Benson carted to locker room.

[ThunderDan]

I hope its not Benson's knee. He does not look like he is coming back.

Well.. we are kicking off so I doubt he would be right now!8-)

[gbgary]

I hope its not Benson's knee. He does not look like he is coming back.

just saw him standing and smiling.

[pbmax]

Why the harsh penalty for premature flag on a scoring play? What are they trying to prevent?

Phew, its Benson's foot.

[denverYooper]

Looks like a foot. Sock's off.

[gbgary]

riding and smiling now...

[falco]

Why the harsh penalty for premature flag on a scoring play? What are they trying to prevent?

Phew, its Benson's foot.

I agree. What if that would have been a 4th down play... the TD get overturned but the penalty gives the team an automatic first.

[MadtownPacker]

Next man up...maybe this is a repeat of 2011.
You mean 2010 right?

[red]

god damnit. don't be an achilles injury

[falco]

You mean 2010 right?

doh...

[pbmax]

Shields with fantastic tackle and Raji hurt. Ankle.

[pittstang5]

FUCK! RAJI DOWN!!!!

[red]

mother fucking. our important guys are starting to drop like flies

[gbgary]

dammit

[ThunderDan]

Hope its just a twisted ankle and a retape.

Knew it was the foot.

[pittstang5]

FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Please be Ok Raji, PLEASE!

[pbmax]

That was clean!!

[red]

Knew it was the foot.
they usually retape right on the sideline though

they don't take you into the locker room on the cart for x-rays

[ThunderDan]

NO WAY!

[red]

oh, bad call. man that was a clean shot

[pittstang5]

Fucking Horsehit. Guess you can't hit a QB anymore.

[denverYooper]

Perry the king of losing sacks by non-penalty.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Wow. What a shitty call.

[gbgary]

bad call!

[denverYooper]

That gave him something to think about.

[red]

was that an illegal hit too?

he did touch him

[denverYooper]

USC all over Stanford.

[pittstang5]

What's up with Raji? Not good sitting on the bench. Ugh, I can't believe this.

[pbmax]

That's twice in two weeks.

[gbgary]

way to go Packer D!

[pbmax]

USC all over Stanford.

:lol:

Nice.

[pittstang5]

That's twice in two weeks.

Yep.

[ThunderDan]

Nice to finally get a 12 noon kickoff in week 5!

[OS PA]

Good thing we got Neal back this week.

[denverYooper]

What's up with Raji? Not good sitting on the bench. Ugh, I can't believe this.

Not sure but up 14-0 and in control, I'm willing to bet they'll rest him no matter what.

[ThunderDan]

Not sure but up 14-0 and in control, I'm willing to bet they'll rest him no matter what.

That was my thought. Don't use him unless it is close.

[wootah]

Nice to finally get a 12 noon kickoff in week 5!

QFT. Noon is 7PM over here, so it's nice to be able to go to bed early for a change.

[red]

bj just looks like a rolled ankle

[pittstang5]

Raji - Ankle. Questionable return...means he's done

[gbgary]

come on DD.

[pittstang5]

C'mon Rogers, Nelson is tall, but not that tall.

[pittstang5]

All day, wide open receiver

[ThunderDan]

Boy without the personal foul on Perry this game is a 3 score game.

[Brandon494]

Ryan Grant just had his first carry as a Redskin. Wide open running lane and he ran right into the back of his blocker for a gain of 3 yards. :?

[pittstang5]

NO PASS RUSH!! Raji missed already!!!

[ThunderDan]

Common Chuck!

[gbgary]

nice stand by the D.

[wootah]

Wow. Do you remember when Walden was "the turd on wheels"?

[MadtownPacker]

So why is Rodgers "mancave" 49er red on the Pizza Hut commercials??

[pbmax]

Walden is getting better n coverage.

Still don't think that was crown of helmet hit by Perry as Pereira says it was.

Nice stand at goal line.

Raji is ankle, Benson is foot. Both questionable

[MadtownPacker]

PB, I hope you won't be carrying this thread all by your lonesome. I typically don't do the gameday thread, but Packerrats seems as deserted as a city that was just neutron-bombed.
Fucking troll.

[pbmax]

Maybe legit call but real ticky tacky. If he was early, it wasn't by much. But I will take it.

[ThunderDan]

I don't understand that throw to Jordy. Finley was open 10 yards down the field on the cross underneath.

[pbmax]

Another ticky tacky on Finley

[pbmax]

Love the slants. Both Jones and Cobb seem to still love them too.

[ThunderDan]

COBB!!!!!

[pbmax]

Ref missed hands to face by defender on Bulaga

[gbgary]

bad call on fin. he just made it.

[pbmax]

Somehow, communication seems better. Or maybe its because its the Colts and quite as church there.

[pittstang5]

C'mon D. That was easy to see. Everyone bit on that

[ThunderDan]

Great play design there by the Dolts.

[pittstang5]

Ugh, here we go. 2 min drill. Packer Defense sucks against a 2 min drill. Always.

[gbgary]

amazing how quiet it is when ind has the ball.

[pittstang5]

Their best receiver, Wayne, left alone and able to get out of bounds. Why?

[gbgary]

time for a pick 6

[denverYooper]

Ref missed hands to face by defender on Bulaga

Seems to happen a lot this year.

[denverYooper]

Are they just working on Walden's pass rush at this point?

[wootah]

Pick 6 coming up...

[pbmax]

Neal on a stunt! Nice reward, he was sent inside to kamikaze mode several times to free up other guys earlier.

[denverYooper]

And Neal. Guy looks like a humongous linebacker.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Nice play by Neal.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Shields!!!!!

[pbmax]

Anyone feeling good about Shields and House behind Williams? And Hayward somewhere else?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Time for the dagger offense. Put this bitch in the end zone.

[pittstang5]

another drop.

[ThunderDan]

Make that catch Jordy.

[pittstang5]

At least, don't give them the ball back

[Cheesehead Craig]

Come on guys, hold on to the damn ball.

[pbmax]

Its in his head.

[ThunderDan]

Make that catch Finley!

[pittstang5]

Fuckin Finley What the hell is yor problem!!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Its in his head.

The ball? Because it sure isn't in his hands.

[Brandon494]

Fuck it I'm off the Finley bandwagon, hes still a beast in Madden though.

[pittstang5]

Its in his head.

Maybe it's his vision. He should get lazer corrective surgery like Fergie did a couple years ago.

[gbgary]

dumb play call. wouldn't have got it had he caught it.

[wootah]

Fuck it I'm off the Finley bandwagon, hes still a beast in Madden though.

That I'd live to see the day... Patler is licking his chops :)

[Brandon494]

Anyone feeling good about Shields and House behind Williams? And Hayward somewhere else?

+1, most depth we've had in awhile at CB.

[pittstang5]

Of Course, Holding on woodson.

[Brandon494]

Woodson another penalty...whats new?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Neal doesn't slip and he crushes Luck

[Rastak]

Of Course, Holding on woodson.

They gotta bust out the Sherman/Carroll boxing gloves.....sheesh.

[pbmax]

Neal needs to take a better angle, but Matthews jumped too far inside avoiding the chip

[ThunderDan]

They gotta bust out the Sherman/Carroll boxing gloves.....sheesh.

He's back!!!!!

[pbmax]

They gotta bust out the Sherman/Carroll boxing gloves.....sheesh.

Hello and Welcome Ras!


That was a late hit. Cobbs knee was on the ground.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Why do I think that last run to Kuhn was to help pad the running numbers so MM can say he didn't abandon it.

[gbgary]

come on chris. COULD have been intercepted...not should have been.

[pittstang5]

They gotta bust out the Sherman/Carroll boxing gloves.....sheesh.

Oh Lord, haven't thought abour Carroll in a while.

WHat's up Ras?!?!

[Rastak]

Hello and Welcome Ras!


That was a late hit. Cobbs knee was on the ground.

Pack has this in hand. Vikes might be first in the North but they failed against these guys. Packers seem to be hitting their stride, at least somewhat.

[denverYooper]

Anyone feeling good about Shields and House behind Williams? And Hayward somewhere else?

Yes.

Shields looks outstanding much of the time. If he becomes consistent, he's probably at least a Pro Bowler.

[Rastak]

Oh Lord, haven't thought abour Carroll in a while.

WHat's up Ras?!?!

Thought I'd drop in, good to hear from ya Pitt.

[Rastak]

He's back!!!!!


Greets Thunder.

[pbmax]

Pack has this in hand. Vikes might be first in the North but they failed against these guys. Packers seem to be hitting their stride, at least somewhat.

What does Ponder look like from home? From here he looks less and less like a reach and more like a starter.

[red]

hey ras

we seem to be clicking today against a so-so team. the injuries are the big concern right now

and the god damn drops

[denverYooper]

The ball? Because it sure isn't in his hands.

He double clutched. Guy is trippin' or something.

[denverYooper]

Pack has this in hand. Vikes might be first in the North but they failed against these guys. Packers seem to be hitting their stride, at least somewhat.

Good to see you Ras! You've been missed around here.

[MadtownPacker]

Thought I'd drop in, good to hear from ya Pitt.
Yes!! Long haired freaking looking people, need please apply!!

Good to see you man.

[Rastak]

What does Ponder look like from home? From here he looks less and less like a reach and more like a starter.


He looks like an OK starter now with potential. I never thought he was a reach because he seemed to have some skills and they really needed a QB.

[gbgary]

They gotta bust out the Sherman/Carroll boxing gloves.....sheesh.

woah...hit and run post by ras? evidently not. take your shoes off.

[Rastak]

hey ras

we seem to be clicking today against a so-so team. the injuries are the big concern right now

and the god damn drops

Whatup Red. Yea, you guys are outclassing them. Yea, Benson's foot went sideways.....never good.

[denverYooper]

It's almost time to usher in the DJ Williams era.

[Rastak]

Good to see you Ras! You've been missed around here.


Thanks Denver.

[MadtownPacker]

Fuck it I'm off the Finley bandwagon, hes still a beast in Madden though.


That I'd live to see the day... Patler is licking his chops :)
Oh snap!! Da brotha done turnt his back on dem boyz!! Sellout MFer!!

He said "Madden"! :lol:

[Rastak]

Yes!! Long haired freaking looking people, need please apply!!

Good to see you man.


Gracias Mad, good to see you too. I got a long gray goat going now too.

[red]

It's almost time to usher in the DJ Williams era.

i've been ready to pull the plug on the finley dropfest for a few weeks now

we can't spend half of every game trying to build up his confidence. he isn't adding anything positive to this team right now

[MadtownPacker]

He looks like an OK starter now with potential. I never thought he was a reach because he seemed to have some skills and they really needed a QB.
He pretty fly for a White guy. I was happy he diced up the niners. Maybe he will be the NFCN QB rivalry cutler and stafford where supposed to be for ARod.

[Rastak]

woah...hit and run post by ras? evidently not. take your shoes off.


Nah, I'll stay for a bit. It's just that Woodson holds like every single play I watch. For some reason them boxing gloves popped into my mind.

[gbgary]

thom brennaman? thought it was chris meyers. sound exactly alike.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Why do I think that now that Benson is out, the running game is going to be abandoned.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Ah shit.

[denverYooper]

A little too far inside on that pass by ARod.

[red]

bye-bye running game

[ThunderDan]

Come on man!

[pbmax]

Jones backpedaled that back shoulder. Not a good position.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Jones backpedaled that back shoulder. Not a good position.

That's what I thought too. If it was a backshoulder throw the WR shouldn't be fading away.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Can't stop Wayne

[pbmax]

Dammit. Why was Smith the only one over there?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Smith just couldn't get his feet under him otherwise he catches Luck there.

[denverYooper]

Damn, Worthy almost chased him down.

[pbmax]

Short field kills you.

[pittstang5]

WTF! I leave for a little bit and Colts get a TD. What did the Pack do starting the 3rd?

[Rastak]

WTF! I leave for a little bit and Colts get a TD. What did the Pack do starting the 3rd?

I missed it but a pickle I think.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Short field kills you.

So does not stopping plays when you have a shot to as well.

[red]

WTF! I leave for a little bit and Colts get a TD. What did the Pack do starting the 3rd?

they threw the ball a bunch of times and went backwards. then threw an int

[ThunderDan]

Let's run and use screens to get down the field and eat time.

[pbmax]

WTF! I leave for a little bit and Colts get a TD. What did the Pack do starting the 3rd?

Colts picked a back shoulder throw. Throw was not wide and Jones backpedaled into the catch. Gave the CB an opening. Made the catch and got feet down. Was nice play.

[pittstang5]

Up 21 to 3 and throws an INT. Does he not feel challenged. I mean, c'mon!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Rodgers with the fadeaway pass instead of following through

[denverYooper]

Packers need to seize mo here.

[pittstang5]

Momentum shift. Not good

[pbmax]

Now Rodgers is living inside his own head. He bailed for no reason.

[ThunderDan]

RUn the damn ball!

[pittstang5]

Typically all year. They keep letting teams hang around.
