Official Packers at Texans Game Day Thread

[Cheesehead Craig]

Ok, how was that drop back, then throw straight at the ground (short of the LOS?) NOT an intentional grounding?

I know, it puts them at fourth down, and they have to punt, but that should've still been called.

Screen pass, threw it at the feet near the RB

[pbmax]

Punt?! What is that?

[pbmax]

I think Masthay is juicing.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Punt?! What is that?

Does not compute

[George Cumby]

Don't say that, Falcons came back today.

Against the Raiders......

[pbmax]

Foster was there for a screen.

[gbgary]

time for a pick 6!

[channtheman]

I hope we don't go prevent this early.

[MadScientist]

WTF was that non coverage about?

[pbmax]

Blown coverage by Hawk

[Cheesehead Craig]

Red should be here any second to yell about the D

[MadScientist]

Good tackle of Foster by the grass.

[wist43]

Here comes the Dom Capers we all know and love ;)

[wist43]

Rush 2 Dom!!! Rush 2!!!!

[Guiness]

Blown coverage by Hawk

He was busy getting into space so he could be a better player.

Seriously, am I the only one Collingsworth is pissing off? He just said momentum had swung to the Texans. Cause they made a first down.

[MadScientist]

No DPI on that? Amazing.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Shields blew the shit out of that coverage.

[MadtownPacker]

Houston is 5-0 and at home. They are going to score some points. No biggie.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Pickett almost had him. And I still love the Texan cheerleader outfits.

[wist43]

That was way too easy... that's what I expected to happen the entire game.

The Texans are going to own the 4th quarter.

[Jimx29]

Nice camel toe on that cheerleader

[pbmax]

Saine knee injury and not returning.

[channtheman]

Time for us to answer. We are too good to think that the game was over. 10 more points wins this. 7 more probably. If we don't score again, we lose.

[George Cumby]

Houston is 5-0 and at home. They are going to score some points. No biggie.

+1

[pbmax]

That was way too easy... that's what I expected to happen the entire game.

The Texans are going to own the 4th quarter.

You expected the Texans to pass their way to victory? Horse fritters.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That might have been Green's best run

[gbgary]

we need a nice, long, time consuming drive with a td...or a quick td. lol

[pbmax]

Nice camel toe on that cheerleader

Need screen shot!

[channtheman]

Absolutely needed that return.

[King Friday]

Alex Green > James Starks

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Alex Green > James Starks

Agreed

[pbmax]

He was busy getting into space so he could be a better player.

Seriously, am I the only one Collingsworth is pissing off? He just said momentum had swung to the Texans. Cause they made a first down.

Was I imaging that Chris said he was BETTER in space? Because Twitter said he was playing better THIS YEAR in space.

[wist43]

Here ya goes guys...

[wist43]

[channtheman]

2 downs to get the first here.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Oh that's pretty. It's sooooooo pretty!!!!

[pbmax]

we need a nice, long, time consuming drive with a td...or a quick td. lol

You are welcome!

[Jimx29]

That's waht good teams do....score

[wist43]

how do the texans miss that one... wow

[pbmax]

Here ya goes guys...

http://atomicyeti.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/wpid-duyen_-_houston_texans.jpg?w=630

Hope that is the string tie.

[Cheesehead Craig]

how do the texans miss that one... wow

Oh you sad?

[channtheman]

Thank God that wasn't Finley. We'd all be screaming at the TV right now.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Crabtree again.......loving everything about this game except for Finley and the injuries.

[wist43]

Really amazed at how bad the Texans are playing tonight... I think they began to read their own press, and mailed it in.

[pbmax]

lol

there ya go... the game plan - 2nd and one and fling a prayer up, lol... now we're back to coachin!!!

I love you wist, but if you showed up more often when they play well, it would be more convincing. :lol:

[pbmax]

That's waht good teams do....score

Thanks Mr. Madden. Love the video game!

[gbgary]

LOL...WAY TO ANSWER PACKERS!!

[wpony]

I wonder if finley is watching crabtree and seeing how to make a big play and actualy hold on to the ball

[Cheesehead Craig]

Thanks Mr. Madden. Love the video game!

Now we just need a closeup of some sweaty OL asses

[Joemailman]

Really amazed at how bad the Texans are playing tonight... I think they began to read their own press, and mailed it in.

What's the matter Wist? Hard to watch the Packers beating the crap out of a "physical" team?

[pbmax]

Raji should never start at nose tackle while Pickett can walk.

Please discuss.

[channtheman]

The injuries and shitty record to this point = Super Bowl year. Take it to the bank.

[Willard]

Crabtree is one ugly son of a gun, but he appears to have no issues with chemistry.

[gbgary]

time for a pick 6!!

[wist43]

Oh you sad?

no, i wanna win just like you guys... just amazed that the texans aren't blowing us away.

Their game plans are playing right into what the Packers do well... and how do they not have 2,000 yds rushing against any Dom Capers defense??

Truly I'm baffled by what the Texans have done tonight... Dom Capers should be mowing a lawn in retirement... he has no business coaching in the NFL anymore.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Sammy!!!

[pbmax]

And a turnover. Its like its all of our birthdays today!

[channtheman]

And our DB's are holding on to INT's!!!!!!!!!

[Jimx29]

Yahtzee!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

A turnover.....this is great!

[gbgary]

i'll take a pick 0. lol

[channtheman]

6 TD's Rodgers.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Damn that crappy Capers defense and their inability to stop the run or create turnovers.

[pbmax]

No, no! Not the 4 minute offense yet!

Ok, that run was OK.

[wist43]

I love you wist, but if you showed up more often when they play well, it would be more convincing. :lol:

Have young kids... they just went to bed, and mom is being sweet tonight - actually told me to shut up and enjoy that they're winning, lol...

[MadScientist]

Punch it in and ice this game!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Have young kids... they just went to bed, and mom is being sweet tonight - actually told me to shut up and enjoy that they're winning, lol...

Ok, that is funny.

[pbmax]

Crabtree is one ugly son of a gun, but he appears to have no issues with chemistry.

Nice :lol:

[channtheman]

Thought he was a yard short. Wow good spot!

[Joemailman]

Have young kids... they just went to bed, and mom is being sweet tonight - actually told me to shut up and enjoy that they're winning, lol...

Mother knows best.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Here we go, TD pass on 2nd and 11

[gbgary]

stop running sideways

[Jimx29]

holy shit jones...

[channtheman]

Rodgers to the top of the MVP list.

[pbmax]

Never throw James Jones a ball into his chest = ALL PRO

[KalamazooPackerFan]

What a f'n catch!

[MadScientist]

JJ - What a catch !!!

6 TD's for AR!

[MadtownPacker]

BAD MFER!!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Here we go, TD pass on 2nd and 11

Bump.

[channtheman]

Was DPI on that play too.

[pbmax]

Have young kids... they just went to bed, and mom is being sweet tonight - actually told me to shut up and enjoy that they're winning, lol...

That sounds like a great night wist ... :)

[Jimx29]

Man...that was the second pin point pass by ARod

[channtheman]

Never throw James Jones a ball into his chest = ALL PRO


:lol: so true.

[Brando19]

Holy crap! Rodgers now tied with Matt Flynn at 6 TD's in one game as a Packer. Come on, Rodgers...get 7!!!!

[Joemailman]

Rodgers with 50 fantasy points tonight.

[gbgary]

greg who?

[pbmax]

Wouldn't have predicted Jones to tie that record this year.:lol:

[Bossman641]

no, i wanna win just like you guys... just amazed that the texans aren't blowing us away.

Their game plans are playing right into what the Packers do well... and how do they not have 2,000 yds rushing against any Dom Capers defense??

Truly I'm baffled by what the Texans have done tonight... Dom Capers should be mowing a lawn in retirement... he has no business coaching in the NFL anymore.

Lol, seeing the D succeed must be tough for you

[Cheesehead Craig]

Wouldn't have predicted Jones to tie that record this year.:lol:

Hater

[pbmax]

I want Kuhn to do somethng so we can hear how empty that stadium sounds.

[digitaldean]

What a night! This offense is just torching Houston. Hopefully the outside critics can stay quiet now on the type of player ARod is. 6 FREAKING TD'S!! :worship:

[Guiness]

holy shit jones...

They showed MM after the catch, and I'm +ve that's what he said. Not kidding.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Jennings is seeing his Packer contract going down game by game with Jones and Cobb playing how they are.

[digitaldean]

I want Kuhn to do somethng so we can hear how empty that stadium sounds.

+1

[pbmax]

Dammit a dlineman just blew up that zone run and Shields gets hurt.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Another injury on D. Shit.

[channtheman]

These injuries equal Super Bowl.

[gbgary]

Never throw James Jones a ball into his chest = ALL PRO

it wasn't the ball in chest he was having trouble with...it was ball over the shoulder in stride.

[MadScientist]

Fuck, Shields down. Will there be anyone left at the end of this game.

[Cheesehead Craig]

They may have to put Driver on D just for a body.

[Jimx29]

do we get reduction in insurance co-pays when we have multiple submissions?

[gbgary]

dammit...now it's shields.

[Guiness]

Collingsworth: "The Packers are back, at least for tonight"

backhanded compliments is the best he can do, I guess

[MadScientist]

Is there some problem with the turf/cleats that are causing so many injuries?

Also why does NBC not show what happened?

[digitaldean]

TT will have to be scrounging for FA's again if a good % of these injuries end up being season ending/longterm ones...

[pbmax]

What a terrible way to get hurt. Leg whipped by own guy

[wist43]

Need I remind any of you - there is still 11 minutes left, and Dom Capers is our D-Coord??

[Cheesehead Craig]

The pass rush is hitting Schaub.

[digitaldean]

Collinsworth said at beginning of game that they bring the turf into Reliant in 6x6 chunks or tiles and players around the league detest it. Now we are seeing why. It's close to Soldier Field/Heinz Field pathetic.

[pbmax]

BUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCHHHHHHH i son the case!

[gbgary]

Collingsworth: "The Packers are back, at least for tonight"

backhanded compliments is the best he can do, I guess

I think that was michaels who said that. thought it was cheap too.

[Jimx29]

eve M3 can't blow a 25 point lead :|

[Cheesehead Craig]

Cheap rushing yards.

[MadScientist]

Houston looks like it is trying to pad their running stats.

[Jimx29]

running it right up the guts on 1st pretty much means they submit

[HarveyWallbangers]

eve M3 can't blow a 25 point lead :|

Don't get cocky. That's only 3 TDs. Crazier things have happened.

[Jimx29]

Don't get cocky. That's only 3 TDs. Crazier things have happened.and a fg

[Cheesehead Craig]

Don't get cocky. That's only 3 TDs. Crazier things have happened.

A Harvey sighting!

[MadScientist]

Bush should not rush straight into an OT on a blitz.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Look at all the empty seats on that replay

[digitaldean]

Nice coverage by Hayward.

[pbmax]

Hayward is a player.

[digitaldean]

Starting to hear the Go Pack Go chants....

[pbmax]

Hayward is a player.

Genius!

DONT run it out of the endzne!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Heyward with great coverage and a pick

[MadScientist]

Great pick! Stupid return.

[Jimx29]

dude wanted a 100 plus return

[Brando19]

Hayward!!!!!! Dude's got game!

[digitaldean]

PICK BY HEYWARD!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

This should be Rodgers last series

[wist43]

well, that Int does it I think... even Dom Capers shouldn't be able to blow a 25 pt lead with 7 minutes left.

[pbmax]

OK. Must stop running wide left.

[Brando19]

Rodgers should play the whole game. I can see Harrell fumbling 3 or 4 times and the Texans beating us.

[Guiness]

After that tipped pass, I was posting that House better get his butt on the field or Hayward will take his spot, that goes double when he follows it up with an INT...it might be Shields who's looking over his shoulder!

[gbgary]

two great plays by hayward. went oob to avoid getting that shoulder hit.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Rodgers should play the whole game. I can see Harrell fumbling 3 or 4 times and the Texans beating us.

Oh shit. How could I have forgotten about Harrell

[pbmax]

What a bunch of fair weather fans. Its empty.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Stupid ST

[pbmax]

Well, that is one way to blow a big lead.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Fire Slocum!

[digitaldean]

Just the wrong time for a ST fuckup!!!

[Jimx29]

What a bunch of fair weather fans. Its empty.
yep. the upper decks are very vacant

[wist43]

lol

here comes the big comeback - it'll be like the Heidibowl :)

[Jimx29]

Harrel does realize you have to wear a helmet, right?

[digitaldean]

UH OH Harrell time. Just exchange the blasted snap and exchange cleanly. PLEASE!!!!

[MadScientist]

Just the wrong time for a ST fuckup!!!

There are a lot worse times. At least it is still a 3 score game with 5 min left to go.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Yea!!! No fumble from Harrell so far

[Jimx29]

Let Harrel get down to the 10yd line and let AR break the TD record

[digitaldean]

He may go out there with just the head set...

[pbmax]

Alright, now we can go back to refuse to extend Slocum's contract.

[Cheesehead Craig]

2 for 2

[Cheesehead Craig]

Cobb didn't seem like he had a 100 yd day

[Cheesehead Craig]

Wait, they call the timeouts then put in the backup QB?

[Jimx29]

cheejus...even the lower decks are getting very empty

[Jimx29]

Wait, they call the timeouts then put in the backup QB?that is a ball scratcher indeed

[Jimx29]

dude still wants a TD :lol:

[MadScientist]

Nice teamwork pick!

[pbmax]

Love Casey Hayward, but McMillan caused that pick

[digitaldean]

2 PICKS BY HEYWARD!!!!

[pbmax]

James, but it upfield!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Come on. Let Harrell throw one.

[pbmax]

Love this ad with Ray Ray's Mom.

[digitaldean]

this will make the chase for the division more interesting...

[George Cumby]

Have young kids... they just went to bed, and mom is being sweet tonight - actually told me to shut up and enjoy that they're winning, lol...

So.... you ARE a Packers fan! :-)

[pbmax]

Rodgers is just the cockiest son of a gun. :lol:

Tafoya asked him what they told the critics tonight and he said: "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Wood was great too. Talking about how the team still thinks of itself as the favorite. Love that this team goes against the grain and doesn't simply play the chip on the shoulder public routine.

Remember how you always felt Sherman was one or two games away from losing control or the team/locker room during a bad stretch? Never get that feeling with McCarthy. I think we now know what Thompson though was Pittsburgh tough.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Don't get cocky. That's only 3 TDs. Crazier things have happened.

Damn, and I only had 3 beers all day.

[Freak Out]

So.... you ARE a Packers fan! :-)

Wow...you are this way at home as well? :)

Edit: For Wisty.

[mraynrand]

Fire Slocum!

can't you wait until Wednesday?

[George Cumby]

can't you wait until Wednesday?

At least you're not his girlfriend!

[HarveyWallbangers]

If we hadn't gotten the win stolen in Seattle, we'd be feeling much better at 4-2 considering the teams we've played. The teams we've played are a combined 19-9.

I felt good about this game the moment J.J. Watt taunted ARod with the belt. Does it ever work for opposing defensive players when they do that?

[Guiness]

Boykin is active. Twitter is speculating Driver won't see the field. :)

Neither showed up on the stat sheet. I don't think either was targeted with a pass, either. They did show DD and his brother on TV though.

[Smidgeon]

I think that was michaels who said that. thought it was cheap too.

I didn't think it was backhanded. The Packers games have gone LWLWLW. The win against the Bears, Saints, and Texans were all good wins where either the defense or the offense showed up big. They laid eggs in the other three games. So I thought it legitimate to say that the Packers are back...for one game at least. They have to do it a few games in a row.

Great statement win, but let's keep it up.

[Smidgeon]

Raji should never start at nose tackle while Pickett can walk.

Please discuss.

I've been wondering this for a while too. Pickett is great in the middle, and on the edge, Raji can get one on one more often. Win win.

[BobDobbs]

No, I always feel like no matter all the egos he's got the biggest balls in the room and everyone's comfortable with that.

Except his balls. They might feel a little cramped.

[Freak Out]

His rookie year he played great as a DE with Picket at the NT spot...why did they change?

[mmmdk]

Packers win! :cow: I'm back from holiday at La Cite, Carcassonne, in France and I will watch the game in about 10 mins. - can't wait!

JJ should know better seeing he's from WI that you mock the belt at your own risk.

[channtheman]

The last time I can remember someone doing the belt after sacking Rodgers was the Atlanta Falcon playoff game (and I might even be misremembering :lol:). We all know how that ended for them.

Yup, wasn't that John Abraham?

[Joemailman]

Raji should never start at nose tackle while Pickett can walk.

Please discuss.

When facing a team with a strong running game, I concur. Against a strong passing team however, I think Raji gives you more pressure up the middle.

Despite my excitement last night, there is at least on note of caution. Pickett and the run D looked very good (also remember 47 yards of their run game was with backups in garbage time) but the Texans own field cost them at least three runs (maybe more) when the RB simply went down in a heap after either being just grazed or not touched. And that seemed to be a result of the 12th defender, the Reliant Stadium turf. You would think the home team would know how to deal with it better.

Raji was OK as a DE but he largely filled in for pass rush his rookie year. I think he is much more natural inside and his body type matches that.

I would simply prefer that, as joe mentioned, they mix and match them some more, perhaps that Eagle scheme where Pickett is the nose and Raji is 3 tech, to free Raji even more and let Pickett do some of the shock absorbing.

[pbmax]

Yup, wasn't that John Abraham?

I think someone did it this season as well.

[mmmdk]

I think someone did it this season as well.

I believe it was Jared Allen, not 100% sure though.
