Official Packers vs. Vikings Gameday Thread

[red]

There you go mase

[mmmdk]

4th down makes sense to me! Wouldn't let CROSSBAR-BY kick either...:lol:

Not a beauty but 3 it is.

[pbmax]

I love that they cheer him un-ironically. Know, say unlike Favre, that Crosby needed a pick up.

Not sure I would have kicked it.

[gbgary]

lol...all the mock cheering.

[pittstang5]

Ok Mason, hope that helps. not banking on it - even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once and a while

[ThunderDan]

gotta kick the fg, if you didn't trust him he shoulda been gone.

Good call!

[LEWCWA]

MM made the right call, you can't play with a neg. attitude.

[woodbuck27]

Ohh it's GREAT to be a fan.

Mason Crosby had that 47 yarder 'all the way'. :???:

Maybe TT and MM just need to take him out to lunch!? Buy him a small gift.

Vikings 14 - PACKERS 13

[pbmax]

lol...all the mock cheering.

Really? I thought the opposite. It was mainly enthusiastic.

[pittstang5]

Damn, that kick off was beautiful

[pbmax]

Nice play by Burnett. He's not all world but it athletic. Still miss Collins.

[ThunderDan]

Ohh it's GREAT to be a fan.

Mason Crosby had that 47 yarder 'all the way'. :???:

Maybe TT and MM just need to take him out to lunch!? Buy him a small gift.

He is paid $3+ Million to make kicks, use him or cut him.

[mmmdk]

McCarthy is now a gambling coach; which isn't a good sign!

[LEWCWA]

how many of Masons misses have been of the 50+ variety, way too many....MM has abused this kicker

[pittstang5]

Ohh it's GREAT to be a fan.

Mason Crosby had that 47 yarder 'all the way'. :???:

Maybe TT and MM just need to take him out to lunch!? Buy him a small gift.

Applebees?

[pbmax]

how many of Masons misses have been of the 50+ variety, way too many....MM has abused this kicker

Agree, but not the time to fire the coach. Could be the week to replace the broken kicker.

[red]

Really? I thought the opposite. It was mainly enthusiastic.

It sounded like real cheering to me

[ThunderDan]

Ok Mason, hope that helps. not banking on it - even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once and a while

I thought his lucky nut was the 1st FG made.

[Teamcheez1]

I wonder if AP will get the ball on this drive?

[pbmax]

Applebees?

:D

[KYPack]

Jesus Christ, we are luckier than hell to be down by only a point.

[pbmax]

Raji at least is giving it his all on run plays.

[pbmax]

I would like to buy House and Hayward a gift card for Applebees to eat with Mason tonight.

[ThunderDan]

Rams losing 7-2. Probably not a tie this time.

[pittstang5]

Ok Cobb, forward not backward....fair catch, ok, I'll take that

[Packers4Glory]

Really? I thought the opposite. It was mainly enthusiastic.

probably was a mix but I think a lot of fans were really cheering trying to pick him up.

As a fan I understand mock applause or whatever if you're team is having a shitty season, but when you have a chance to be a contender you try and pick up the guys who are struggling. Negativity isn't going to help anyone. You need the Crosby of the previous seasons to show up. Don't need to bury him further.

[woodbuck27]

Great that their resting AP. They lose all day with that.

[LEWCWA]

everyone go vote mason to the probowl, maybe that will lift his spitits!

[gbgary]

Really? I thought the opposite. It was mainly enthusiastic.

I heard it as sarcastic. like when a hockey goalie's been bad and finally makes a save...the crowd goes wild.

[ThunderDan]

Jesus Christ, we are luckier than hell to be down by only a point.

Two missed tackles on AP and a phantom holding on Lang and it is Pack up 17-0.

[LEWCWA]

Jesus Christ, we are luckier than hell to be down by only a point.

how do you figure, vikes have done nothing except 2 plays

[mmmdk]

I hope Packers win 'cos I loathe the Vikings! And I hate that we're barely better than them but not good enough to be sure to win.

I like Rastak though...where is he?

[Packers4Glory]

ugh.

[LEWCWA]

you really have to be kidding me

[woodbuck27]

probably was a mix but I think a lot of fans were really cheering trying to pick him up.

As a fan I understand mock applause or whatever if you're team is having a shitty season, but when you have a chance to be a contender you try and pick up the guys who are struggling. Negativity isn't going to help anyone. You need the Crosby of the previous seasons to show up. Don't need to bury him further.

Your right but the bottom line is...Mason Crosby must deliver. As human beings we certainly must have compassion for his struggle.

[pittstang5]

Stupid throw. Double coverage. Fucking stupid in a close game like this

[pbmax]

Damn. He was open deeper.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Dammit. Too short.

[Teamcheez1]

That play looked bad from the start. MM you idiot.

[Brando19]

Well that's not the trick play I was talking about earlier....

[gbgary]

AR can't throw that.

[pittstang5]

That seals it. Packers will not win this.

[Packers4Glory]

why is it we can't load up and stop AP????

[LEWCWA]

Arod just hasn't been good, the last 2 weeks. good thing Crosby has sucked or he would be getting more critcism

[woodbuck27]

Ohh wow.Damned if you do...damned if you don't.

That pick on AR. That pass was a real long shot but he tried it anyway.

[LEWCWA]

stuff his ass

[pbmax]

Well that's not the trick play I was talking about earlier....

You sure?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Hawk shot that gap!

[Rastak]

I hope Packers win 'cos I loathe the Vikings! And I hate that we're barely better than them but not good enough to be sure to win.

I like Rastak though...where is he?

Right here my friend! Clsoe game. Vikings have severe flaws so if GB doesn;t win this they are in deep trouble.

[pbmax]

Mike Daniels can beat a TE block anyway.

[ThunderDan]

Daniels, the rook I picked would be the biggest disaapointment this year.

[pbmax]

Right here my friend! Clsoe game. Vikings have severe flaws so if GB doesn;t win this they are in deep trouble.

Well hello stranger. Unfortunately your flaws don't include a meager pass rush.

[Packers4Glory]

almost in FG range.....

[pbmax]

Daniels, the rook I picked would be the biggest disaapointment this year.

It was only a TE block. but he has been active everywhere else/

[woodbuck27]

That seals it. Packers will not win this.

LOL ....too funny. your sarcasm of course.....or.....

Are we at the two minute warning of the 4th quarter?

[Joemailman]

AR can't throw that.

Look at the bright side. Heck of a punt!

[Brando19]

You sure?

I was calling for Cobb to throw it...he may have hit Jennings! ;)

[Rastak]

Well hello stranger. Unfortunately your flaws don't include a meager pass rush.

I've seen better, I just found out this morning Allen's been playing with a torn labrum.

[gbgary]

D's keeping us in it. the O has to do their part.

[pbmax]

OK, why do Packer lineman keep leaving the RB on the ground and head back to huddle? Leftover of no huddle?

[woodbuck27]

Right here my friend! Clsoe game. Vikings have severe flaws so if GB doesn;t win this they are in deep trouble.


Hi Rastak....that's what we're afraid of..Packer flaws being more severe than Viking flaws.

Da BEARS just went back up on top of Seattle. 14-10.

and .... Packers get their 3rd rushing TD of the season on a nice run by Starks and he doesn't do the Lambeau Leap he was so excited !!!

PACKERS 20 - VIKINGS 14

Will we see a good dose of AP?

[mmmdk]

ST, coaching & offense are killing us! D is doing better and our only hope today! AD is HOF RB, so stuff it blind squirrels. :lol:

[pbmax]

I've seen better, I just found out this morning Allen's been playing with a torn labrum.

Sounds like Norse propaganda to me!

[Rastak]

Hi Rastak....that's what we're afraid of..Packer flaws being more severe than Viking flaws.

They aren't.

[Teamcheez1]

Barclay is no Allen Barbre.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Starks you bitches!

[LEWCWA]

that has worked all day

[pittstang5]

No flag? Miracle!

[gbgary]

Starks baby!!

[pbmax]

Dammit. Patler was right again. Don Barclay was the key to everything.

[Jimx29]

WTH was that?

[Rastak]

Sounds like Norse propaganda to me!

Jay Glazer thing....probably true.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Dammit. Patler was right again. Don Barclay was the key to everything.

I think it's Crosby. He hit a FG and suddenly the Pack are unstoppable.

[pbmax]

WTH was that?

Touchdown?

Running play?

Successful wide running play?

Blocking?

[Joemailman]

Has Barclay played well enough that MM might move Lang back to LG when he's healthy?

[pittstang5]

another nice kick off for a touchback. Is the wind helping?

[Packers4Glory]

hey a running game

[pbmax]

Jay Glazer thing....probably true.

Yeah, have to give Glazer that. He doesn't just spew agent talkingpoints.

[mmmdk]

Right here my friend! Clsoe game. Vikings have severe flaws so if GB doesn;t win this they are in deep trouble.

Sorry, don't hate your team! Hate losing to your team!

Great to hear from ya! :smile:

[pittstang5]

Damn!

[pbmax]

Has Barclay played well enough that MM might move Lang back to LG when he's healthy?

It has not been clean in pass pro and I think M3 has changed the playbook. I would guess no, but who knows this season.

[gbgary]

another nice kick off for a touchback. Is the wind helping?

New section blocking the wind.

[pbmax]

That looked hugely dangerous.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Way to get beat and get hit by the pass Jones

[pittstang5]

Way to break that up with your back Jones

[Packers4Glory]

where's the fucking hold there?!?!

[pbmax]

And another missed hold by LT or LG on RDE

[pittstang5]

Nobdody outside, Ugh!

[LEWCWA]

now that wasn't holding

[woodbuck27]

Kansas City 24 - Carolina 14.

Can the Chiefs pull that game out !

[gbgary]

Holding not called.

[Teamcheez1]

Never any holding on the Vikings O Line.

[pittstang5]

And another missed hold by LT or LG on RDE

Yep, that's what I saw.

[Packers4Glory]

Nobdody outside, Ugh!
hard to get outside being held when trying to get there

[ThunderDan]

I guess the Vikes can't be called for Offensive holding.

[pittstang5]

FUCK!!!! C'mon D

[pbmax]

It has not been clean in pass pro and I think M3 has changed the playbook. I would guess no, but who knows this season.

Actually, pass pro hasn't been pretty but its been cleaner than the technique looks.

[pittstang5]

FUCKK FUCK!!!!!!! Pick up that Fucking Flag. NO WAY!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Horseshit

[Teamcheez1]

Refs are absolutely horrible this game. When can we bring back the replacement refs?

[pbmax]

Helemt to helmet.

You have to SEE what you are hitting. Its not tough to coach.

[pittstang5]

NO WAY!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Hell yeah Burnett!

[Packers4Glory]

fuck yeah..can't tackle but he can catch

[LEWCWA]

fuck ponder

[ThunderDan]

BURNETT!!!!

[wootah]

thank god for ponder

[gbgary]

Burnett baby!

[pittstang5]

Thank you Burnett. Now wehre's the flag for that, you fucking overpaid refs. Fuck you!!!!

[LEWCWA]

ponder sucks

[pbmax]

Decent pressure, produces less than stellar throw. INT/ Seems like a plan.

[mmmdk]

Told ya! D balling!

[pittstang5]

Helemt to helmet.

You have to SEE what you are hitting. Its not tough to coach.

Led with his shoulder, I thought.

[Joemailman]

Burnett has had a real combination of bad and great plays today.

[gbgary]

thank god for ponder

more a great play than a gift.

[LEWCWA]

time to bury these fuckers

[Packers4Glory]

again..nobody open. tons of time to get open and it just don't happen.

[woodbuck27]

Yup AP....another missed tackle 23 more yards and he goes over 200 yards on the day (210 yards)

but our Saviour on the day is Morgn Burnett with his SECOND PICK IN THIS GAME.

[pittstang5]

C'mon Rogers, you take off earlier, you get more yards.

[Cheesehead Craig]

time to bury these fuckers

Hell yeah

[Cheesehead Craig]

Starks and Green both running hard today.

[wootah]

more a great play than a gift.

true, but put a mediocre QB in there and the game was already out of reach for us.

[pittstang5]

Wow, thought the ball would come out there. Thank god!

[Packers4Glory]

GB only team that holds

[gbgary]

someone covered rudolph.

[pbmax]

Now that was Starks missing a cutback and going four before penalty anyway.

[pittstang5]

Fuck, another flag. Typical for this team at times.

[Cheesehead Craig]

These holding calls are way too one sided here. Another bullshit call

[LEWCWA]

another bullshit hold

[pbmax]

more a great play than a gift.

Very late throw.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Damn, blockers got held up on that screen.

[pittstang5]

3rd and long. no shot.

[woodbuck27]

With that nine (9) yard rush by Starks we just went over 100 yards rushing on the day.

[pbmax]

Its a catch and a first Joe

[Cheesehead Craig]

3rd and long. no shot.

Oops

[gbgary]

Got it!

[pbmax]

Damn, blockers got held up on that screen.

Need to wait sometimes, though it was cluttered.

[Packers4Glory]

FG would be huge here.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Need to wait sometimes, though it was cluttered.

I thought Starks did the right thing there though.

[pittstang5]

3rd and short, let's go deep

oops again lol

[Cheesehead Craig]

That a boy Aaron!

[Packers4Glory]

again..play extended..nobody open. WTF

[pbmax]

Cobb was open early in that route but no pulled trigger.

[gbgary]

run...ok, but hurry up and run? come on MM.

[Cheesehead Craig]

3rd and short, let's go deep

oops again lol

Much love to you pitts lol

[pbmax]

I thought Starks did the right thing there though.

Yeah, it was close. There was at least one Vike who likely wasn't getting blocked in pursuit. Hard to say it was a bad choice.

[pittstang5]

Aikman, shut the fuck up

[Cheesehead Craig]

You go nuts Finley. You deserve it.

[LEWCWA]

and here comes the fin!!

[Packers4Glory]

Fin sure to drop his next pass after he does those celebrations.

[pittstang5]

Way to fight Finley. That's what I want to see!

[ThunderDan]

Finley getting back into the O would be huge for the end of the season and the playoffs.

[pbmax]

He's just like Jones. Needs to be a hard catch to his body while jostled by defender.

[Joemailman]

Great play by Finley to fight for the yardage.

[LEWCWA]

Aikman, shut the fuck up

no shit huh!

[Cheesehead Craig]

No chance there.

[pittstang5]

Ugh!

[gbgary]

Cobb was open early in that route but no pulled trigger.

I think he's been doing that a lot...passing up a short throw for the longer one that ends up not happening.

[Cheesehead Craig]

This has been an 8 minute drive already. Wow.

[pbmax]

Aikman did have a larger point. Allen didn't beat Newhouse until Rodgers stepped up and left to avoid pressure from his right. Then Allen's inside move, which Newhouse had corralled, paid off.

[pittstang5]

Finley getting back into the O would be huge for the end of the season and the playoffs.



Playoffs, you want to talk about Playoffs.....Playoffs!

[pbmax]

I think he's been doing that a lot...passing up a short throw for the longer one that ends up not happening.

My working hypothesis on this today is that pressure in general, esp up the middle has trained him to bail on middle of field too fast. Like he feels like it won't work because he can't step into throw.

[woodbuck27]

Nice effort by JerMichael Finley to bring Mason Crosby into solid FG range.....pressure....NO WAY !

[pittstang5]

3rd and long. no shot again

[Cheesehead Craig]

Wooooooooo!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Playoffs, you want to talk about Playoffs.....Playoffs!

Yeah, if we finish this game off we are a lock and I think we catch CHI.

[pbmax]

Newhouse pancaked Allen after Allen slipped. :lol:

[wootah]

If I was a woman, I would want Randall Cobb's babies.

[pittstang5]

3rd and long. no shot again

I guess, I'll keep this up.

1st and 10 - No shot

[pittstang5]

Newhouse pancaked Allen after Allen slipped. :lol:

Saw that and was in fear for a hold call.

[Cheesehead Craig]

The 47th hold on us today.

[gbgary]

cobb's shield saved his eyes on that big play.

[pittstang5]

Fucking hold call again.

2nd and long - no shot.

[pbmax]

OK, that was a good call but WAY TOO ticky tack.

[Cheesehead Craig]

10 minute drive

[pittstang5]

smart move by Minn to decline

3rd and long - no shot

[pbmax]

Dammit EDS!

[Cheesehead Craig]

smart move by Minn to decline

3rd and long - no shot

I think you might be overdoing it now.

[pittstang5]

Oh come on now

[Packers4Glory]

why kuhn..and why is Kuhn dancing? looks like he could have went left and picked up a few yards there.

[wootah]

Crosby's career in G&G on the line here.

[pbmax]

Kuhn had a hole to his left but stayed right. Trying to setup the kicker on right hash?

[Cheesehead Craig]

11 minute FG drive. That's clutch

[pittstang5]

Seriously, a draw.

Fuck, here comes choker

[LEWCWA]

money

[pittstang5]

Kuhn had a hole to his left but stayed right. Trying to setup the kicker on right hash?

Ah Ha, you might be on to something there.

[Joemailman]

Crosby looks like he just got a reprieve from the Governor.

[gbgary]

dagger?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Kuhn had a hole to his left but stayed right. Trying to setup the kicker on right hash?
That was exactly it. MM ordered Crosby to be put in a position to succeed.

[ThunderDan]

Seriously, a draw.

Fuck, here comes choker

3/4 for the game. Thinking of putting him on the studs list.:eyes:

[Joemailman]

Dare we say that the 47 yarder by Crosby was the turning point in the game?

[pittstang5]

I think you might be overdoing it now.

Ok, i'll stop, but it did seem to work for a little

[gbgary]

11 minute FG drive. That's clutch

eat the clock actually worked this time.

[Cheesehead Craig]

We are set up for another pick from Ponder.

[mmmdk]

Mason Paycheck makes a kick from 31 yards out...HOF?

[ThunderDan]

Come on D. MINN is going to have to throw down to scores. Let's get a 3rd INT and finish the game.

[KYPack]

Ponder is the Matt Millen of quarterbacks.

Don't get rid of him, Minny!

[gbgary]

Dare we say that the 47 yarder by Crosby was the turning point in the game?

it really was. the D immediately got a three and out. mo ran to our side of the field.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Ponder is just awful

[mmmdk]

3/4 for the game. Thinking of putting him on the studs list.:eyes:

:lol: Sure beats being 1/4 for the game! Another week, another paycheck.

[wootah]

unbelievable

[pbmax]

What a load of crap that lob pass was.

[Cheesehead Craig]

House! Oh yeah Ponder, you were gonna pick on our CBs today? FU Bitch

[woodbuck27]

Dare we say that the 47 yarder by Crosby was the turning point in the game?

That sure was inspiring.

[pbmax]

Grounding?

[woodbuck27]

Ponder is just awful

Looks like they need a QB.

[ThunderDan]

Nice Aikman.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Blitzing is looking good

[LEWCWA]

see its not that easy!!!!!!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Found out where that Crosby voodoo went to now.

[Jimx29]

that ought to do it

[wootah]

Blitzing is looking good

True. 0 sacks though.

[Cheesehead Craig]

There's your daggar!!!!

[woodbuck27]

Viking FG attempt wide right. It's hard to kick FG's at Lambeau this season.

Vikings can now take this season and try to build on it. They need a QB and WR's.

[Joemailman]

The kickers were the difference today.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Thing is, Walsh has been money almost all season.

[gbgary]

sea with the ball and driving with 1:47 down 14-10...

[Cheesehead Craig]

Packers need to bring in the Barge formation a la the Badgers with Cobb at QB instead of White

[mmmdk]

Thing is, Walsh has been money almost all season.

The word "money"with kickers...been thrown around too much today! Not my money! :lol:

[ThunderDan]

Like the refs now? Good teams overcome those few missed calls; Packers ain't a great team.

Looks like we overcame the calls.

[woodbuck27]

It looks like the Chiefs will get their first win of 2012 at Arrowhead....that is 31 seconds away.

[Joemailman]

Seahawks score!

[gbgary]

sea with a late td.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Stupid Vikings. Make us punt again and take another 8 seconds off the clock. 2 punts 18 seconds.

[LEWCWA]

this thing was a bitch but good in the end

[woodbuck27]

It looks like the Chiefs will get their first win of 2012 at Arrowhead....that is 31 seconds away.

now 18 seconds.

Seattle is set up for their second road win of this season going up on da Bears 16-14.

This is a good day for Packer fans.

[gbgary]

stl going to ot with sf.

[ThunderDan]

Guess I might be wrong on the tie for SF-STL.

[pittstang5]

Wow. for the little I saw towards the end of the 2nd quarter, this team had no chance. Nice to see a win

[pittstang5]

Oh man, the bears game will go into OT. Amazing catch by Marshall

[gbgary]

fucking sea...

[pittstang5]

Bears are so freakin Lucky. Never thought I'd cheer for Seattle again after "The Game," But Cmon on Seattle!!!

[pittstang5]

Now there's a "Money" kicker!

[ThunderDan]

Why did that SEA guy jump on the pump fake? Just hit Cutler.

[Teamcheez1]

I hate Seattle after the earlier game this year (and Pete Carroll in general).

I hate the Bears more.

[Joemailman]

Oh man, the bears game will go into OT. Amazing catch by Marshall

Amazingly stupid defense by Seattle. Who the hell did they think Cutler was going to?

[KYPack]

If it pisses Pete Carroll off, it tickles me pink.

[pittstang5]

Why did that SEA guy jump on the pump fake? Just hit Cutler.

YES! Why!?!?!

[pittstang5]

I hate Seattle after the earlier game this year (and Pete Carroll in general).

I hate the Bears more.

True, true!

[woodbuck27]

now 18 seconds.

Seattle is set up for their second road win of this season going up on da Bears 16-14.

This is a good day for Packer fans.

OK Chiefs do win but if the Panthers didn't get close to wining getting down to the chiefs 8 yard line as time ran out.

BEARS and SEAHAWKS will go to OT as Cutler hits Marshall with a long pass to set up a FG to knot that game up. That pass was poorly defended by the Seattle secondary.

[Joemailman]

Bears winning would help solidify the Packers wild card situation, so it's not all bad if the Bears win.

[gbgary]

come on sea. get a td.

[pbmax]

26 just debilitated Jennings on the Bears.

[pbmax]

That play was representative of why worrying about defenseless players misses the entire point.

[gbgary]

chi's jennings ko'ed on tackle.

[Lurker64]

http://www.thegauntlet.com/photos/viking_funeral.jpg

/Obligatory

[woodbuck27]

'13 all' tie bet. 49ers and RAMS.

Their into OT for the second time this season.

[pbmax]

Its Breno Giacomini

[pbmax]

Based on that play, I would take Breno as RT right now.

[gbgary]

come on sea...try throwing one.
