Official Packers vs Jaguars Game Day Thread

[MadtownPacker]

It's a beautiful day here is Central Cali, the weather is is perfect, not too hot and not too cold. You can chill indoors and watch football or head outside to catch some rays in the 80 degree weather.

It's kinda like the game today, the Packers are missing several key players (Jordy, Woody, and Jennings) but are feeling good after the last few weeks and their opponent is the perfect "weather" for today. Just is time to tune up the offense on the home turf for the stretch run vs division foes. Maybe a chance for guys like Green and Hayward to solidify their roles on the team. Out with the old, in with the new is TT's way of doing business and today that method will be a welcome sight with Cobb as #1 WR. The good guys roll and if all goes well Rodgers is holding a clipboard by the 4th quarter.

[MTPackerfan]

anyone have a link to online broadcast? Thought they were showing game in Montana but not the case

[pbmax]

Loved the double-bill Star Spangled Banner and God Save the Queen, but their singer kicked our teenager's hiney.

[pbmax]

Well, Crosby can't hit a 50 harder to save his life but he can coffin corner a kickoff at the one , one yard off the sideline.

[pbmax]

Terrible coverage by safety and ILB there boys

[pbmax]

Pickett is AT THE NOSE!!! Raji at RDE!

[pbmax]

Pickett is AT THE NOSE!!! Raji at RDE!

That was a first down. 2nd down pass likely, Raji at nose. Love this.

[pbmax]

Deer in headlights. He was looking for a place to fall down.

[pittstang5]

Wow, was that delayed or what. great timing?

[red]

Holy shit, brad jones sighting

[pbmax]

McDonalds ad fail.

[pbmax]

Finley, you are Steve Sax.

[pittstang5]

Ole # 88 - drops

[pittstang5]

Wow, Packers have continued to look absolutley horrible on their first drive.

[red]

I suppose that wasnt considered a drop by finley either

[Cheesehead Craig]

I'm going to defend Rogers on that throw to Green. Green should have been running up field.

[pbmax]

Raji crashed down from RDE to NT, Pickett looped around him to the right. Weird.

[pittstang5]

Again, I question how opposing RBs can get yards against us, where there is no place to go, yet WE continue to get nothing in the running game.

And there is the middle of the field exposed. Pathetic guys

[pbmax]

I'm going to defend Rogers on that throw to Green. Green should have been running up field.

Yeah, he also should have turned around earlier.

And there is forever for a QB and WR on a safety.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great throw by Gabbert

[pbmax]

Raji has no anchor today. Just got popped backward by one Guard or center.

[pittstang5]

Raji has no anchor today. Just got popped backward by one Guard or center.

Rusty

[pbmax]

McMillan was dime corner on the Blackmon catch for a first down. Not at safety.

[pittstang5]

McMillan was dime corner on the Blackmon catch for a first down. Not at safety.

Ugh, I hope thats the last time that happens. I'd rather see Bush on Blackmon.

[pbmax]

Twitter says Finley's arm got pulled down from their view of replay. I didn't see that. Anyone else?

[denverYooper]

I don't think we're better without Shields.

[pbmax]

Bill Huber at Packer Report on Twitter

Without Woodson, #Packers going House and Williams as the outside CBs, Hayward and McMillian as nickel/dime, Burnett, Jennings at safety

[pittstang5]

Twitter says Finley's arm got pulled down from their view of replay. I didn't see that. Anyone else?

Nope, I saw him drop the ball.

[pbmax]

I don't think we're better without Shields.

I with you on that. :) Love McMillan but don't see him as slot CB. Lots of scouts did apparently.

[denverYooper]

Twitter says Finley's arm got pulled down from their view of replay. I didn't see that. Anyone else?

I thought the guy had a hand on his arm. As far as "pulled", well, I'm not sure.

[pbmax]

Moses hit two guys while diving. That's efficient!

[pbmax]

Loved that run by Green.

[pbmax]

EDS is the new fullback.

[pbmax]

A screen!

McCarthy is doing everything we complain about. Except he chooses to do it versus the Jags.

[Guiness]

A screen! I love it!

[pbmax]

There is the big guy!

[pittstang5]

Anyone else, especially this year, hate 3rd and 2 or shorter when the Packers have the ball. You kinda know they're going to pass, because they can't/won't run the ball. And then, sometimes, Rogers goes deep. I get more scared on 3rd and short then 3rd and long this year.

[pbmax]

Good hands that time.

[pbmax]

That should be illegal :lol:

[Brandon494]

LMAO at Finley's dumb ass

[denverYooper]

Rodgers pass was a lil behind Fin. Nice lil adjustment by 88.

Williams lined up in the backfield at the goal line.

[pittstang5]

Nice, special teams, way to make them pay for hesitation.

[pittstang5]

What the hell was raji doing there on that run, looked like he was dancing

[pbmax]

Rodgers ties Starr. Nice historic mark even if its apples to oranges.

Matthews just got burned.

[pbmax]

Rodgers pass was a lil behind Fin. Nice lil adjustment by 88.

Williams lined up in the backfield at the goal line.

DJ?

[denverYooper]

Cobb is like a ninja.

[pittstang5]

Too much time on that 3rd down.

[denverYooper]

DJ?

Yes. Starks too.

[pittstang5]

Wow, Middle of the field is a problem, always has been. Got lucky there.

[pbmax]

Could have been a catch there by Lewis, but that D in the middle was very good.

[pittstang5]

Nice Clay, nice!

[pbmax]

Wow, Middle of the field is a problem, always has been. Got lucky there.

You can't get better D than fingertip on ball thrown over your head (means drop was good) and then WR huge jump with one handed attempt to catch it with immediate tackle.

[denverYooper]

You can't get better D than fingertip on ball thrown over your head (means drop was good) and then WR huge jump with one handed attempt to catch it with immediate tackle.

I've been wondering if pass D in the middle would improve with Brad Jones in there. He's been one of the better LBs in coverage.

[pittstang5]

You can't get better D than fingertip on ball thrown over your head (means drop was good) and then WR huge jump with one handed attempt to catch it with immediate tackle.

Sure you can, tight coverage that the QB doesn't even to think to throw there. lol

[pbmax]

That, on the other hand, was bad. short defenders gave up their zone drop to run up to the QB. Way too early. Need to wait until he can't throw.

[pittstang5]

3rd and long - come on now!

[pittstang5]

Wow, wide open receivers. Here we go again.

[pbmax]

Man, these guys are open off man coverage.

And there is a fumble to solve the problem.

[pittstang5]

NICE, an actual Fumble and recovery. Did he just drop it - nope, someone actually caused it. MIRACLE!

[pittstang5]

Brad Jones - nice!

[pbmax]

Jones got held and make the hit and forced fumble.

And Boykin gives up a first down trying to spin for more yardage.

[pittstang5]

THat was stupid rookie - you fall down right where you catch it and you get the first down. You only make that move if your Driver from 5 years ago or Greg Jennings.

[pbmax]

Finley loses a DE but seemed to expect something else to happen

[pbmax]

Prosinski with a hit OOB no flag.

[denverYooper]

Got to get to the sticks Boykin!

[pittstang5]

What a waste of a turnover.

[pbmax]

That was not a good punt.

[pbmax]

What a waste of a turnover.

Changed field position dramatically. Still a plus.

[Cheesehead Craig]

No friggin coverage out there today

[MTPackerfan]

WTH?

[pittstang5]

How the fuck does he catch that? Gotta Challenge just due to momentum shift.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That's gonna be an incompletion.

[pbmax]

Lesson from this game? Sam Shields is very important somehow.

[pbmax]

No friggin coverage out there today

He was WIDE open and behind everyone. Huge blown coverage by the safety and probably someone else.

[denverYooper]

Lesson from this game? Sam Shields is very important somehow.

At least he only loses one guy deep per game. The rest of the time, he can usually outrun any mistakes.

[MTPackerfan]

we seem to be playing down to Jax level.

[pittstang5]

Hey, we got a call that's correct. yeah for us!

[pbmax]

Perfect call with a safety blitz on.

[pittstang5]

we seem to be playing down to Jax level.

And you thought they wouldn't - this your first game watching this year - LOL

[pbmax]

Love McMillan on run support

[Cheesehead Craig]

Nice play Tramon

[pittstang5]

can we stop them on 3rd and long, please

[pbmax]

Tramontana didn't have trouble with that zone.

[Cheesehead Craig]

What's with our pass rushers falling down this game?

[pittstang5]

Fucking all day on 3rd down - WTF, let's get some God Damn pressure in there.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Extend Slocum!

[pbmax]

Unintentional fumblerooski! Holy Bouncer!

[pittstang5]

Fucking Special Teams! Fire Slocum anyway!

[pbmax]

House with the block. Slocum is on fire and I can't believe I am saying that. They adjusted to that play and it had to be intentional

[pittstang5]

Holy crap, when was the last time GB actually blocked a Fucking Punt?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Didn't know Al Harris still had that much speed still

[denverYooper]

Promote Slocum!

[MTPackerfan]

And you thought they wouldn't - this your first game watching this year - LOL

no, but it is frustrating. nice Special teams play again!

[Cheesehead Craig]

House with the block. Slocum is on fire and I can't believe I am saying that. They adjusted to that play and it had to be intentional

I saw House coming down and thought they were going for the block and couldn't believe it.

[Joemailman]

They had a lot of trouble recovering the blocked punt though. Fire Slocum!

[pbmax]

Dezman Moses is the new Jarrett Bush. He's a demon (and he's gonna be chasing after someone).

[Guiness]

Wow, when I saw the play start I said 'damn, offside, going to give them a free first down'. I was wrong!

[MTPackerfan]

1990 last blocked punt TD

[Guiness]

They had a lot of trouble recovering the blocked punt though. Fire Slocum!

Now there's the voice of reason.

[pittstang5]

They had a lot of trouble recovering the blocked punt though. Fire Slocum!

Maybe that's the key. Threaten firing of Slocum, slocum gets scared or just says F-it, let's try this. and it works

[gbgary]

al harris comes unblocked and gets the first Packers blocked punt since 1990.

[Cheesehead Craig]

What the hell call was that?

[pbmax]

Mercedes Lewis and that Blackmon WR are huge.

Was that an arm to the head they called?

[pittstang5]

That is a BS call. Packers get fucked by refs again.

[pittstang5]

al harris comes unblocked and gets the first Packers blocked punt since 1990.

1990 - wow, that's pretty bad.

[Joemailman]

Pass defense declared illegal in the NFL.

[pbmax]

What?!

[pittstang5]

WHAT! Holding on Neal - Really, WTF

[MTPackerfan]

what a horrible BS call, what is the deal?

[pittstang5]

Clay continues to get held - no call

[Brando19]

Steven Jackson's going to look good running in a Packers uniform.

[Cheesehead Craig]

FYI, I rewound the game and the holding call on Neal was nonexistant. He was actually doubleteamed on a pass rush by 2 OL. If it was just the wrong number being called then I don't know who it was on.

[pittstang5]

I'm sorry, but WTF was that shot from Lewis after he missed that catch. If it were a Packer, I know they'd get flagged.

[pbmax]

What was the call on Neal?

Did he hold a TE trying to release or a O lineman in a call that has been made twice since 1952? Or was he in coverage on zone blitz?

[denverYooper]

Welp. BS penalties for naught.

[pittstang5]

Pound the ball - eat up some clock.

[pittstang5]

Driver! oh no, flag

[Cheesehead Craig]

What was the call on Neal?

Did he hold a TE trying to release or a O lineman in a call that has been made twice since 1952? Or was he in coverage on zone blitz?

He's on the botton of the screen getting doubled by the G and T. The only person it could have been on was Burnett as he was blitzing and the RB picked him up. I heard the announcer say the flag was in the backfield so that's all I can think of.

[pittstang5]

yeah, that wasn't holding, that was a tackle

[Guiness]

Holding? That was a flat out tackle by Landry on Finley. Did he think he had the ball already?

[pbmax]

How can you run a dive and have backside DT run free?

[gbgary]

1990 - wow, that's pretty bad.

blocked punt for a td...my bad.

[Cheesehead Craig]

And that is another Green Bay Packer.... First Down!

[pittstang5]

I've been saying it for weeks, can we please, for the love of God, run up the middle. Put Starks in if Green can't do it. These f'n stretch plays and run to the sideline then turn up, where there is no hole are driving me insane!

[gbgary]

Steven Jackson's going to look good running in a Packers uniform.

I wish.

[pbmax]

What was up with that throw?

[pittstang5]

That was just fucking stupid Rogers - Green had some yards for ya.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Way to fight for that ball Finley :roll::roll::roll:

[pbmax]

What was up with that throw?

Finley simply waiting for ball to fall to him

[pbmax]

That was just fucking stupid Rogers - Green had some yards for ya.

Agreed.

[Cheesehead Craig]

So you can't hit a QB too hard but you can whip him to the ground?

[pittstang5]

One of the worst run defenses in the league and we can't do squat. Well, questions have been answered. It's not that McCarthy won't run, we can't.

[denverYooper]

That was a Favrelike chuck.

[pittstang5]

Fucking McMillian CMON MAN - You gotta tackle there!

[pbmax]

One of the worst run defenses in the league and we can't do squat. Well, questions have been answered. It's not that McCarthy won't run, we can't.

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-saturday-earns-mixed-reviews-as-replacement-for-wells-0t7bleh-176128211.html

[Cheesehead Craig]

That a boy Clay

[Cheesehead Craig]

Fuck me this secondary is bad

[pittstang5]

http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-saturday-earns-mixed-reviews-as-replacement-for-wells-0t7bleh-176128211.html

Don't have time - what's it say.

GOD DAMN IT - WIDE FUCKING open, Where? IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE!

[pbmax]

Hayward lost his man. Went outside and should have stayed in.

[MTPackerfan]

lookin pretty ordinary today

[Packers4Glory]

I hate letting bad teams hang around.

[pbmax]

Don't have time - what's it say.

GOD DAMN IT - WIDE FUCKING open, Where? IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE!

Short version: Blame Saturday.

[pbmax]

Fuck me this secondary is bad

Its young. Several of these have been on Hayward and McMillan. Its going to happen. You just have to hope it starts to happen less as the season goes on.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Hold em to just 3 points guys

[pittstang5]

Need a TO!

[pittstang5]

Watch for Lewis, he's huge

[Cheesehead Craig]

Dammit

[pbmax]

Walden what was that?

[pittstang5]

Damn it Walden!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Burnett with really bad coverage there. Should have been a TD

[pbmax]

Wow. That was just terrible. And he had protection.

[Cheesehead Craig]

What's with that guy in the stands with a Steelers shirt on? Dude, they aren't there, just wear a regular jacket.

[pittstang5]

Well, held them to a FG. Don't think they should have been anywhere near there, but whatever.

[Cheesehead Craig]

What a fucking disaster

[pbmax]

What happened to Bulaga? Did someone shoot him?

[pittstang5]

WTF! is going on here! That's it, I've had it with this team!

[denverYooper]

Oh my.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Thank you Yancy, I mean Thomas

[pittstang5]

It'll be 13 to 14 going into half time. Playing down to their level AT HOME! Players, you SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

[pbmax]

can't question Gabbert's toughness, but can question Mularkey's sanity.

[Cheesehead Craig]

What a fucking disaster

QFT

[pbmax]

What is it with the AFC South?

[Packers4Glory]

terrible half.

[pbmax]

Dumb to go for 2.

[denverYooper]

What is it with the AFC South?

Just the bad teams apparently.

Still, hurts that Packers are down so many starters.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Why not just take a knee instead of some bs run?

[pittstang5]

Pathetic.

WTF is up with Rogers sometimes. He does stupid shit that rookies are known for, not MVPs. Throw it away if it's not there!

[MTPackerfan]

this is really just sad,

[denverYooper]

In other news, the Bears are losing to Carolina 13-7 and Detroit is losing to Seattle 17-14.

The Packers are the only NFCN team to be ahead at halftime this week.

[denverYooper]

Packers get the ball to start the second half. They'll adjust and things will look better in the 2nd half.

[MadtownPacker]

OK you panochas need to relax. No need to start building a dome just yet. Rodgers will be pissed about his fuck up at the end of the half.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Holy shit are those Pitts unis ugly.

[red]

Pathetic.

WTF is up with Rogers sometimes. He does stupid shit that rookies are known for, not MVPs. Throw it away if it's not there!

He was clearly still in the pocket and couldnt just "throw it away"

[MadtownPacker]

Holy shit are those Pitts unis ugly.

Looking like they need to be cleaning the side of the highway.

[pbmax]

OK you panochas need to relax. No need to start building a dome just yet. Rodgers will be pissed about his fuck up at the end of the half.

You mean igloo?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Cobb does a great job following his blockers. Just a smart player

[red]

Tese two might be my favorite s to cover the packers so far

[pbmax]

Oh crap.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I think Worthy is just taking a break from all the damn pink out there.

[pbmax]

Unblocked OLB on delayed handoff.

Was the DE.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Starks doesn't even have a helmet with him. I don't think he's going to play at all unless Green gets hurt.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Yes

[pbmax]

Demovsky says it looks like a blow to head for Worthy.

And that flag just saved the drive.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Running play coming up for the Pack. I guess it will be a 2 yd gain.

[Packers4Glory]

Rodgers missed I think Finley quick and for a 1st down. Of course Fin prolly woulda dropped it.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Another stupid throw.

[red]

Mm forgot to include play action in the game plan today

[Packers4Glory]

I just don't understand some of these 3rd down plays? keep the drive alive. get the ball out quick and take your shots in better downs and distances.

[Packers4Glory]

why are we not getting Cobb the ball? We don't seem to be making any effort to get him the ball and make plays. it's what he does.

[red]

I just don't understand some of these 3rd down plays? keep the drive alive. get the ball out quick and take your shots in better downs and distances.

When in doubt, drop back and throw it deep

Coaching 101 by mike mcstuby

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great blitz!

[pbmax]

Pay attention Morgan. You had a fumble to recover.

[pbmax]

When in doubt, drop back and throw it deep

Coaching 101 by mike mcstuby

That was a three step drop. Rodgers looked nowhere else.

[pbmax]

why are we not getting Cobb the ball? We don't seem to be making any effort to get him the ball and make plays. it's what he does.

I am with you on this today. Nothing has gone into the middle except a couple of throws to Finley. They might be doubling Cobb inside.

[Guiness]

wow, what was with no fair catch signal? Good way to get your head taken off.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Let's keep featuring Green. It's working so well.

[gbgary]

COME ON PACKER O!! get your shit together.

[pbmax]

I think a four man rush confuses Rodgers. Send five and he kills you.

[pbmax]

Another body non-catch.

[red]

I dont think we should keep any tight ends next year, just add more wr's

[Cheesehead Craig]

That was a terrible damn call on 3rd and 10

[Cheesehead Craig]

Holy crap was that a stupid call

[pbmax]

Finley with no block.

Crosby from 55 yes.

Too cute from Masthay.

[red]

Now we throw it short on 3rd and 10

[Packers4Glory]

LOL

[Cheesehead Craig]

He even missed a wide open player right in front of him.

[red]

Fire slocum

[Brandon494]

Wow who didn't see that fake coming.

[denverYooper]

LOL wut?

[MTPackerfan]

why not throw to the guy in front of him for a 1st down?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Well we're consistant. If it's a 3rd and medium we throw it 25+ yds down field, so why not have the punter do it on 4th down.

[pbmax]

Jennings missed a hole one gap more to his left.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Huge 3 and out.

[pittstang5]

Packers will not win this. Plain and simple

[Guiness]

why not throw to the guy in front of him for a 1st down?

i don't think he had checkdowns and progressions!

[pbmax]

Crabtree's blocking has been horrific.

[Cheesehead Craig]

There's the flag!

[pbmax]

Nice flag late!

[denverYooper]

Huge 3 and out.

Ya. D holding it together ATM.

[pittstang5]

About time, late hit flag

[pbmax]

i don't think he had checkdowns and progressions!

I think you're right.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Packers will not win this. Plain and simple

They will. TD drive here and they really put the pressure on Jax

[pbmax]

There is Starks!

[pbmax]

Holy crap. At this point, they are dropping it because they are in a hurry.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Starks got turned around. Had a nice chip block then just got lost.

[Packers4Glory]

sure feels like we drop more passes than anyone. like wide open ones w/ little to no pressure

[pbmax]

Crabtree got it done with a chip that time

[pittstang5]

They will. TD drive here and they really put the pressure on Jax

I just can't see it the way things are going.

[Guiness]

So....Starks just earn his release with that one? Coupled with Greene's running....

[pbmax]

EDS for starting FB! And Starks!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Holy shit, look at running game here!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Jones continues his big season

[pbmax]

Where the hell has that pass pro been al game?

[Packers4Glory]

Packers will not win this. Plain and simple

strangely I'm not at pissed watching this game. I fully expect them to win even tho they are playing like shit. Jax doesnt scare me in the least, so unless we turn it over more or something weird happens I'm just not that worried. If this would be almost any other team, I'd be livid.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Quit the damn dancing and get the first down!!!!!!!!

[pittstang5]

Enough with spinning. Just get the 1st

[pbmax]

Good grief.

[Packers4Glory]

wow. they are trying to give Jax every chance

[gbgary]

geesh

[Cheesehead Craig]

Fuck. This is fucking terribly fucking pathetic

[pbmax]

Another snap fade from Crosby.

[pittstang5]

Fuckin Crosby. Told ya, packers will not win this game. Too many things going wrong

[denverYooper]

One of those days...

[Joemailman]

Cobb needs to just lower his head and get the 1st down.

[King Friday]

Unreal...Cobb doesn't just lower his head to get a first down, our running game can't get back to the LOS, and our kicker is incapable of kicking a ball even somewhat straight. How are we still ahead in this game?

[denverYooper]

Fuckin Crosby. Told ya, packers will not win this game. Too many things going wrong

They're still winning.

[red]

This is the unmotivated, unprepared team from earlier this season that has shown up today

What a fucking joke

[Guiness]

What happened there? Kick looked good, then took a left at Albuquerque.

[TravisWilliams23]

This is painful to watch.

[pbmax]

Jennings is so bad the same cutback that has killed the Packers ROLB simply doesn't occur to him
