Official Packers at Lions Game Day Thread

[MadtownPacker]

We have had a good two weeks to rest our fingertips and eyes from the hard grind of keyboard nitpicking and wondering what will go wrong next. Like the Pack none of us got arrested or crashed our rides. Nothing sensational happened and that is a good thing because today the Good Guys go up against the most dysfunctional team in the NFC. Good thing is M3 has only lost once to detroit. I don't expect that to change today even if the Pack is a little short on some stars they come out rested and start inserting the dagger in the lions season.

[George Cumby]

OGDP.

[pbmax]

Moses starts for Matthews

[gbgary]

COME ON PACKERS!!

[gbgary]

nice 1st series for the D.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great power by Starks

[pbmax]

Good grief is Starks strong in his lean.

[MadScientist]

Nice power run by Starks.

[gbgary]

Starks delivered the hit.

[pittstang5]

Ugh

[Cheesehead Craig]

McCarthy rocking the Movember stache

[pbmax]

Even McCarthy is growing a mustache in November?

EDS with false start.

[pittstang5]

1st series problems continue

[pittstang5]

Nice, bush

[Cheesehead Craig]

Bush is such a stud

[pbmax]

BUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

[MadScientist]

Perfect punt! Now get a safety.

[Bossman641]

Nicely done Bush

[pbmax]

Zombo with an EDGE!

[pittstang5]

Nice play House.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Did the Packer just have 11 in the box there?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Cobb time!

[pbmax]

Haven't seen Worthy yet. Neal and Raji in that nickel.

[MadScientist]

Bad miss by Stafford.

Almost a running into the kicker.

[gbgary]

ari up by 7 and threatening at atl.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Starks having a very good game so far.

[pbmax]

Facemask or that's a first down.

[pittstang5]

Now what?

[pbmax]

Sitton on that one.

[pittstang5]

Typical - one step forward, two steps back

[pbmax]

Sitton on that one.

That wasn't Sitton, that was Lang I think

[pittstang5]

Watch - sack coming

[MadScientist]

Fucking holds.

[pittstang5]

Are fucking kidding me?

[pbmax]

Horrible call. Ticky tacky

[Cheesehead Craig]

No problem. We can get 21 yards on 2 plays

[pittstang5]

Pathetic series

[Cheesehead Craig]

Yeah, go for it!

[pittstang5]

Nice, go for it, cause Crosby ain't gonna make it.

[pittstang5]

Horrible play call.

[Cheesehead Craig]

No, don't go for it.

[pbmax]

Not sure about that call. How long was the FG?

[gbgary]

4th and 4...get 5!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Not sure about that call. How long was the FG?

48

[pittstang5]

FG try would have been about 49

[pbmax]

Would have been 48 yard FG from the DET 31.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Nice play Hawk!

[pittstang5]

48

In a dome, old Crosby should have no problem. This years Crosby - I give it 75% he misses

[pittstang5]

Pathetic

[Cheesehead Craig]

Stupid jump ball pass

[gbgary]

got to be hawk's best year.

[pittstang5]

Great coverage, McMillian just needs to go for the ball.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Wow are the Pack sloppy with the penalties

[gbgary]

enough with the penalties.

[pittstang5]

Insult to injury on that penalty. Not good. Defense has no pass rush - not that I was really expecting one, just stating the obvious.

[pittstang5]

just let them score.

[Packers4Glory]

This team looks like garbage. The defense was looking good till they let CJ catch a jump ball. The offense fucks up great field position and gets nothing. half the team is still on a bye.

If you won't use your kicker indoors at less than 50 yards you need a new kicker.

[Cheesehead Craig]

What closing speed by Burnett

[pbmax]

Nice play Burnett. Missed the penalty on D, what was the call?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Nice play Burnett. Missed the penalty on D, what was the call?

Hands to the face by Walden. Good call.

[pittstang5]

This team looks like garbage. The defense was looking good till they let CJ catch a jump ball. The offense fucks up great field position and gets nothing. half the team is still on a bye.

If you won't use your kicker indoors at less than 50 yards you need a new kicker.

3rd and long situations where they give up that many yards on a deep pass is unaccectable.

[gbgary]

cle up on dal 7-0.

[pittstang5]

That gave the Lions alot of life. Not good playing on the road.

[pittstang5]

What's McCarthy yelling about?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Not happy when the play clock started given the big pile up on the running play

[pittstang5]

Ugh - going backwards....again.

[pittstang5]

Mutha F'n Driver!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great play by Rodgers

[pbmax]

Holy crap did Sitton whiff.

[pbmax]

Encouraged by Starks but he is missing a few reads. If he could stay healthy ...

[gbgary]

we sure are running a lot.

[pbmax]

Lions are getting long runs from their ends at Packer tackles from wide nine kind of splits. Need to setup shorter.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Nice body control Jordy

[pittstang5]

OHHHH, almost broke that one.

[pbmax]

Hands to the face by Walden. Good call.

Thank you

[Cheesehead Craig]

A Finley sighting!!!!

[pittstang5]

Finley! Nice play!!!!

[MadScientist]

Finley!

[pbmax]

And he CAUGHT IT!

Great read by ROdgeers and Fin

[gbgary]

FIN!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

OK, great analysis by Aikman there

[pbmax]

Oh, not read by QB and TE but nice play design for aggressive front.

[pittstang5]

Should have run that play on the 4th and 4

[Cheesehead Craig]

Is that a sculpture celebrating fisting?

[Bossman641]

Happy for big Fin

[pittstang5]

Ugh, that was not pretty.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Dammit Hayward!

[gbgary]

the last couple of games have had a couple of nicely designed plays.

[pittstang5]

Anyone Notice Hawk seems to be tackling like Clay recently?

[pbmax]

Hawk is just having a season.

McMillan can't whiff on a free shot to QB

[pbmax]

Worthy and Zombo in on that but Daniels blew it up

[pittstang5]

Another 3rd and long, another conversion. WTF!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Way to talk shit about Calvin and not cover him Tramon

[pbmax]

Williams played it too shallow

[Cheesehead Craig]

Yet again Tramon

[pittstang5]

Fucking Tramon. Talks a big game, but is playing like a Fucking Pussy! What is his fucking deal!!!

[pbmax]

They doubled Raji and broke it open.

[pittstang5]

Really - Defense, really! Pathetic

[pittstang5]

Put House or someone else on Megatron, cause Tramon doesn't want to play today.

[pittstang5]

Ok, we get it, McCarthy should have challenged that one catch. Move on!

[VegasPackFan]

I just dont get iton that long passs to Johnson earlier. TWO guys right in position and neither one makes a play on the ball! That is the easiest INT ever. Stafford just winged it up there.

[pittstang5]

Another hold!

Whoops, sorry!

[pbmax]

Tulloch just got pounded.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Starks has manned up today

[pittstang5]

C'mon, we need one fucking yard!!!

This team is so irritating!!!

[pbmax]

That was a bad read by Starks. Should have headed to hole and VandenBosch

[pittstang5]

Fucking Holding call. Doesn't matter. AAAHHHH, this game is killing me!!!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Where's the illegal contact penalty?

[pbmax]

Hawk is on punt coverage?

Terrible punt by Masthay.

[gbgary]

mm getting run happy. we're not a running team.

[pittstang5]

Yep, it sure does look like some players are still on the bye. Tramon, I'm talking to you. You better man the fuck up!

[VegasPackFan]

Am I just being a homer? I havent seen actual holding on three of those calls today.

[pbmax]

Why is everyone's helmet wet?

[pittstang5]

So, we'll be down 17 to 7 going into half time. hopefully it's not 24 to 7, but that is a possibility. SMH

[pbmax]

Am I just being a homer? I havent seen actual holding on three of those calls today.

EDS's first was very ticky tack. But he did have jersey.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Good hold of the edge by Walden

[pittstang5]

Am I just being a homer? I havent seen actual holding on three of those calls today.

One on EDS was really ticky tacky

[pbmax]

Penalties are killing them.

[mmmdk]

Even I can predict offensive calls by Stubby - miles away!

[pittstang5]

Penalties! THis team is not ready for today. Better get it together before the Lions open this up.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Big hold by Johnson

[pbmax]

C Johnson with a nice hold of Tramon.

[Cheesehead Craig]

2 big penalties missed on the Lions so far.

[pbmax]

How do you beat two safeties deep?

[Cheesehead Craig]

How do you beat two safeties deep?

Fire Slocum!

[pbmax]

Not freaking again you stupid defense!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Oh come on

[pittstang5]

Yep, another penalty and a 3rd down. Game over guys, Packers will not win this. They are undiscliplined, sloppy and some players are just not playing like they should. Game Over.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Yes@

[pbmax]

INT and a holding cal on O. Nice job Hayward!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Yep, another penalty and a 3rd down. Game over guys, Packers will not win this. They are undiscliplined, sloppy and some players are just not playing like they should. Game Over.

You are such a damn whiner

[red]

remember the big deal with the replacement refs when that one ref was found to be a fan of the saints? they fired him

FACT: ron winters lives in southern michigan

FACT: ron winters is a lions fan

how the fuck do you let him ref this game

[pittstang5]

You are such a damn whiner

Yes I am. I am passionate. Don't like it, ignore me.

[pbmax]

We should have Fritz egg his house!

Ah Ha - i Knew it!

[pittstang5]

Nice fucking job Rogers. Way to go. Ass!

[pbmax]

Somebody repeat the litany of Starks troubles because I am falling in love again.

That was a horrible throw or Cobb was in the wrong place.

[pittstang5]

Got a gift and throws it away, unbelievable.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I think Cobb ran a poor route, but it was also a poor throw.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That's grounding

[Guiness]

That was a poor penalty for a blow to the head...
Wow, nice int!
Is there any chance of Hayward being in defensive ROTY consideration?

[Cheesehead Craig]

That a boy!

[pbmax]

Soon, I will be ready to endorse and NBA-like no complaining to the ref rule.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Why is Jones jumping around when he's already got a roughing call?

[pbmax]

Love MOses and Daniels. Great FF and recovery.

[gbgary]

need to look for fin again.

[pittstang5]

Why, why!! Ugh, you CAN'T TAKE A SACK THERE!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Horrible clock management.

[mmmdk]

Trust our idiot kicker? :shock:

[pittstang5]

Well, Crosby, will you be saved by the time out?

[Guiness]

Lions give Crosby another chance...

[Cheesehead Craig]

Overcompensated

[pbmax]

Inevitable. Fire Slocum!

[pittstang5]

Oh my fucking God. What is wrong with him!

[Packers4Glory]

time to sign a replacement for Crosby. he's done.

[Freak Out]

Crosby......wow.

[mmmdk]

Release him! I'm NOT kidding. :mad:

[Guiness]

And he over corrects!

[TravisWilliams23]

I'm officially in the FU Mason Crosby club.

[wpony]

Icant believe crosby was smiling after his miss

[pittstang5]

time to sign a replacement for Crosby. he's done.

I think THIS solidifies it. In a dome - gets a second chance and misses. unbelievable. Another one of those days! I just wsh Crosby was the only problem right now.

[Bossman641]

Crosy..you are killing me

[VegasPackFan]

What in the hell!?!? Youget paid to do ONE THING and you suck at it!!

[mmmdk]

Please come out, Crosby trolls! :lol: Classless!

[PA Pack Fan]

Crosby needs to go, what a shitbag.

[pbmax]

He is 9 for 11 this year under 50 yards. 81.8%

Over 50, he is 1 for 5. 20%

Overall, 62.5%.

Its the same problem with usage pattern he has had his entire career. The only people who don't know this are McCarthy, Slocum and Crosby.

[pbmax]

Great. And the O starts in a hole.

[pbmax]

I agree, good no call.

[gbgary]

we're not playing well but it could be worse...dal had 68 yds of o in their 1st half and 0 points.

[pbmax]

Bad hole read that time.

[pbmax]

Starks with partial block gave Rodgers no bail room to run when Avril beat Lang.

[Packers4Glory]

O-line is garbage. going to be the downfall of this season.

[gbgary]

no dump-off route to save Rodgers.

[pittstang5]

This is going to get ugly.

[pbmax]

O-line is garbage. going to be the downfall of this season.

They are really struggling. Its why McCarthy keeps running the ball. But the Lions have adjusted. Need something else or better execution.

[red]

only Mcstubby can take a team who looks like its on the verge of going on a massive run before the bye week, and turn his team into a gaggle of incompetent boobs

[Packers4Glory]

lets run some damn slants...screens....swing passes...something.

[pittstang5]

Wide open

[pbmax]

What was Walden pointing at?

[Guiness]

He is 9 for 11 this year under 50 yards. 81.8%

Over 50, he is 1 for 5. 20%

Overall, 62.5%.

Its the same problem with usage pattern he has had his entire career. The only people who don't know this are McCarthy, Slocum and Crosby.

But how many are in this sort of a situation? It's pretty much a given he is going to miss, but with no other option they send him out to try.

[pbmax]

OPI?

[pbmax]

But how many are in this sort of a situation? It's pretty much a given he is going to miss, but with no other option they send him out to try.

Not sure. But the coaches need to make a decision: either stop choosing 50 yard FGs or get him coached up to hit them.

No more "week off to clear your mind" crap. Get someone who can fix him or stop using him for 50 yd Figgies

[pittstang5]

Fucking Flags. Give me a break!!!!!

[red]

damnit, flags everywhere

great play by the doc though

[wootah]

Nice return by MD

[pittstang5]

What?!!! Am I seeing this. Wow, thank you!

[red]

OMG, on detroit

what a play

[pbmax]

In keeping with this horrible officiating, it was a bad call on Stafford's penalty. He hit Jones in the upper leg.

Or are you not allowed to go for legs at all?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Way to go House!

[pittstang5]

In keeping with this horrible officiating, it was a bad call on Stafford's penalty. He hit Jones in the upper leg.

Could be worse, could be Triplette's crew

[gbgary]

boy...did we need that or what?

[pittstang5]

Got the call right, hooray for that!

[pbmax]

boy...did we need that or what?

Love the Pack's young DBs.

[VegasPackFan]

Crosby almost misses the XP!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Excellent kickoff though

[pbmax]

Excellent kickoff though

That's the rub. He seems to have the leg. But he's like a 3 point specialist who can't shoot free throws. Its technique.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Not again with the flag

[pittstang5]

Another flag. This is getting ridiculous!

[pittstang5]

Ugh!!!

[pbmax]

Good coverage by Tramon on that.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great coverage by Tramon there

[red]

Crosby almost misses the XP!

just looked like it because of the camera angle. probably would have been good for another 10 yards

IMO, our head coach has destroyed the confidence of a once good kicker. you just can't settle for that many 50+ yarders. a FG from that far out is not a good option. our coach keeps settling for the long tries. we let about 30 seconds just burn off the clock instead of trying to get a td or get closer. MM settled, let the clock run, then call time out.

crosby is sucking it up, but the coach should look at himself in the mirror before completely blaming the kicker for missed 50 yarders

[pittstang5]

Oh come on now!

[pbmax]

That coverage could not be right.

[pittstang5]

As much as I agree that Crosby is pissing me off as well, that long try could have been avoided had Rogers not taken a sack.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Hawk has been pretty decent on coverage. At least he's not getting massively beat and making solid tackles

[pittstang5]

Man, all it takes is one penalty and this defense just can't recover.

[pbmax]

Rieff held Moses and Moses made the tackle

[Cheesehead Craig]

Holy Keystone Cops with DL knocking each other out

[pittstang5]

OMG. Optimus Prime? Optimus Shit!

[pbmax]

Went for an INT and misssed.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That should have a been a pick.

[gbgary]

just missed the int

[Guiness]

crosby is sucking it up, but the coach should look at himself in the mirror before completely blaming the kicker for missed 50 yarders

That's what I was insinuating with my earlier post

[pbmax]

OMG. Optimus Prime? Optimus Shit!

That was Burnett.

[wootah]

Ouch.

[pittstang5]

OMG. Optimus Prime? Optimus Shit!

Whoops, thought it was Tramon covering

[Packers4Glory]

WTF

[VegasPackFan]

How did he not get the INT?!?!?!?!? RIGHT THROUGH THE HANDS

[pbmax]

I think he had to take it out because it hit his hands on the bounce.

[red]

wtf cobb
we don't need you shoving your head up your ass too

[TravisWilliams23]

A week off and everyone forgot how to play football. Unbelievable.

[pbmax]

I think he had to take it out because it hit his hands on the bounce.

I think this is the case.

[pittstang5]

3rd and short. Punt? Probably

[denverYooper]

Could be worse. They're still in this thing.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Time for a Kuhn run

[pbmax]

Its the Packers sweep with three wides!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Like I said, time for a Cobb run

[denverYooper]

Maybe they're just trying to work on getting Rodgers some 4QCs.

[Cheesehead Craig]

There's Jones!

[pittstang5]

There's Jones!

[Cheesehead Craig]

As much as I dislike Aikman, he's been solid on his analysis so far.

[pittstang5]

Ugh, that was ugly!

[Guiness]

Nice play action and route by Jones

[pbmax]

Fairley is killing Sitton and Saturday.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Fairley is killing Sitton and Saturday.

and thus, Sunday

[red]

why did it take so long troy?

because our head coach is boarder line retarded and couldn't adjust his own fat ass off a set of railroad tracks with a big fucking train coming at him with a flashing light and big loud whistle

[denverYooper]

I thought the Lions' secondary was supposed to be bad.

[Packers4Glory]

seems like we get a drivel going and then the O-line gives up a big play or a penalty to kill it.

[Cheesehead Craig]

The pass protection has been terrible.

[pittstang5]

Good coverage, not much to do there. Oh well.

[pbmax]

58 yard try? Just go for it on 4th and 7.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Gotta punt here, don't be stupid

[pittstang5]

What, a 58 yarder. are you kidding me? Just give the Lions the game now McCarthy!!

[red]

58 yarder

FUCK YOU MCCARTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[VegasPackFan]

We're trying a 58 YARDER NOW!!!!!!

[Packers4Glory]

I thought the Lions' secondary was supposed to be bad.

It looks good when you get pressure.

[Guiness]

58 yard try? Just go for it on 4th and 7.this is not helping Crosby...

[Packers4Glory]

What, a 58 yarder. are you kidding me? Just give the Lions the game now McCarthy!!

maybe he was just trying to catch them off guard and have to burn up a TO? IDK.

[TravisWilliams23]

Thak's for the time out Swartz.
