Official Packers vs. Lions Gameday Thread

[red]

crosby might be out of the funk.

i'm thinking 3 points doesn't mean much though with the way our D can't stop anything. it'll be 21-3 going into halftime

[Bretsky]

Crosby moment? Get your cameras..

Hope ya got the a good shot :)

[KalamazooPackerFan]

That's the Cranberries and they are Irish.

Iceland is the the Sugarcubes, I think. Bjork's first band.

[Teamcheez1]

With the way the defense is playing, it will be 21-3 before you know it.

[ThunderDan]

Nice pass by that "elite" QB.

If ARod isn't elite, I guess their are no elite QBs in the league.

[Bretsky]

Did I miss something or could AROD have run for a first down there ?

[mmmdk]

Hope ya got the a good shot :)

Kick looked look!

[Cheesehead Craig]

If ARod isn't elite, I guess their are no elite QBs in the league.

Don't feed the troll

[pbmax]

Not sure about that FG decision but the kick was easily one of his best in a while from distance.

How the hell did Suh get away from Sitton that easily?

Always throw the ball to Jones in a difficult spot, never his hands.

Sam Shields is FAST!

[denverYooper]

Not going to outrun Shields.

[ThunderDan]

Shields in the house!

[VegasPackFan]

That's the Cranberries and they are Irish.

No that was 10,000 maniacs. Natalie Merchant the lead singer.

[Bretsky]

Fire Slocum

[mmmdk]

Did I miss something or could AROD have run for a first down there ?

I think so!

[Teamcheez1]

Did I miss something or could AROD have run for a first down there ?

It sure looked like he could have. Instead it was a wild throw.

[pbmax]

Did I miss something or could AROD have run for a first down there ?

I thnk Fairley had him in center of field and left. He could have cut right behind Sitton and had time/room. But if he plants, could slip.

[red]

so shields is on special teams duty. looks like house and hayward both started ahead of him

[Bretsky]

Kick looked look!

gotta be honest...........I was just as surprised as everybody else

[pbmax]

Oh, and horsebleep call on Sitton for non-existent hold.

[Rutnstrut]

[QUOTE=Bretsky;700024]Did I miss something or could AROD have run for a first down there ?[/QUOTEI

It sure looked like he could have.

[Cheesehead Craig]

It sure looked like he could have. Instead it was a wild throw.

No he could not. He was being tackled as he threw it by Avril

[pittstang5]

Detriot is getting positive yaradge on every single play. Every single play!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Come on.....a stop is what your out there for!

[pbmax]

No that was 10,000 maniacs. Natalie Merchant the lead singer.

On the game broadcast yes. But they are American I believe.

[mmmdk]

Will this D stop ANY drive tonigt? :mad:

[pittstang5]

God damn - Stafford looks like a fucking God!

[Bretsky]

I'm going back to watch the replay on the poor throw

It is ALWAYS a good sign when the OL is not introducing themselves til the second qtr

[Packers4Glory]

no hold there??????

[red]

gotta be honest...........I was just as surprised as everybody else

gotta be honest. with the snow and low def TD. i never saw the ball until it hit the net. i was looking all over the place for it

[Cheesehead Craig]

Getting sick of these holds not being called

[pittstang5]

Please!! But I think he was down - yep, he was down.

[red]

he didn't go feet first though

[Bretsky]

The Sitton crap call was a drive killer

I watched the replay.....Rodgers was getting tackles there so he could not have run for it

Should have been second and two but the bad call made killed the drive

[Teamcheez1]

Will this D stop ANY drive tonigt? :mad:

No they will not. We are reverting back to last year's defense.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I'm going back to watch the replay on the poor throw

It is ALWAYS a good sign when the OL is not introducing themselves til the second qtr

That's what I did. He got hit by Avril and had no chance to run for the first.

[MadtownPacker]

Which one is the dome team?

[VegasPackFan]

The offense needs to carry the team tonight cuz our D cant stop ANYTHING! And I mean NOTHING.

[mmmdk]

I love watching good D...maybe next week?

[Bretsky]

gotta be honest. with the snow and low def TD. i never saw the ball until it hit the net. i was looking all over the place for it

R U drunk ? lol

Hey, did you mkae the FFL playoffs ??

[pittstang5]

Well - Detriot has been due to win at Lambeau. Not surprised - Pissed off, but not surprised

[pittstang5]

Everybody's open!!

[Bretsky]

I love watching good D...maybe next week?

As long as the team we play next week has a good defense it's very possible

[Jimx29]

Knock me over with facts Tofoya

[Teamcheez1]

We are absolutely horrible tonight.

Until the Xmas miracle.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Defense!!!!!

[mmmdk]

OMG

[Packers4Glory]

wow. thank you. may we have another?

[Bretsky]

YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOO

[red]

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED LOL

[denverYooper]

There's the break.

[Jimx29]

well i'll be jiggered

[pittstang5]

Are you fucking kidding me - Yeah Baby!!!

[ThunderDan]

My draft pick bust scores a TD!!!

[mmmdk]

Oh my fracking goodness!

[Cheesehead Craig]

There's the break.

That may just get things started to go our way the rest of the way.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

LOL....I'll take anything!

[Rutnstrut]

That was AWESOME, well except his LL;)

[pittstang5]

Thank god - no tuck rule either!!!

[denverYooper]

I said it earlier: it's the Lions.

[mmmdk]

wow. thank you. may we have another?

We must have! :lol:

[red]

greatest defense ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Onside kick, DET won't be expecing it.

[Guiness]

That was something. Get the boy some oxygen!

[Upnorth]

Run fat man run!!!!

[VegasPackFan]

Sooner or later the dome team has to screw up.

[mmmdk]

Thank god - no tuck rule either!!!

Nope, it's the #76 TRUCK RULE! :lol:

[red]

that was a brett favre special

[Cheesehead Craig]

That's the 2nd KO Logan has just watched that he could have fielded. Odd.

[AtlPackFan]

Doesn't matter. D still can't stop anything.

[Bretsky]

Can we just let them score so we can end the half with our TD ? lol

[Cheesehead Craig]

Get those hands up DL!!

[mmmdk]

Sidearm throws should be illegal.

[red]

That was something. Get the boy some oxygen!

give that poor bastard the rest of the night off. thats probably the longest he's ever gone without a twinkie break

[Bretsky]

Get those hands up DL!!

Crap...just realized I had Mike Wallace and his thirty pts on the bench .

[ThunderDan]

Boy, Hawk is all over again this week.

[denverYooper]

They've been running the safety down since the first quarter, Chris.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That a boy Tramon! Nice blitz by Hayward

[red]

tramon, the one lone bright spot on d tonight

[Bretsky]

COME ON............THIRD DOWN....................LETS GET A DAM STOP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Crap...just realized I had Mike Wallace and his thirty pts on the bench .

I feel better now.

[Packers4Glory]

can't stop anyone. Need another lucky break.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Son of a bitch

[mmmdk]

Who had Bell? NO ONE :mad:

[Bretsky]

pathetic

[Upnorth]

This uis to easy for them

[Teamcheez1]

The slow death from our defense continues.

[Freak Out]

Heartbreak on 3rd down.

[Guiness]

Tramon doing a great job.

[Jimx29]

pathetic
beyond

[pbmax]

Zombo fail #3

[Bretsky]

I feel better now.

Yup....Boldin....Austin....Wallace.........Cobb... .....could be about a wash

[AtlPackFan]

Jesus. No D.

[ThunderDan]

I think we need to put in a 3rd DL to cover our LBs.

[Teamcheez1]

Boy, Hawk is all over again this week.

Making tackles 5- 10 yards down the field....

[mmmdk]

D is clueless...throws us another bone, Staff. :lol:

[Cheesehead Craig]

Shields!!!

[red]

15 yard holes to run thru, must be tough

INT by shields

[Bretsky]

Zombo fail #3

He's junk the fact that he's on the squad.....and especially the field.........not good

[Upnorth]

Sheilds!!!!!!

[pbmax]

I love Sam Shields. and Sam remembers to get down!!

[Freak Out]

Woot!

[Teamcheez1]

Xmas miracle #2.

[Bretsky]

D is clueless...throws us another bone, Staff. :lol:

FIVE CLAP POST

[Cheesehead Craig]

Saturday with a massive block fail

[Upnorth]

Our oline sucks. Can't stop presure, can't run block.

[mmmdk]

D is clueless...throws us another bone, Staff. :lol:

I called it, literally secs from snap! :lol:

[Packers4Glory]

no facemask?

[ThunderDan]

Making tackles 5- 10 yards down the field....

Even those need to be made to stop 50 yard TDs.

[pbmax]

Saturday blew that for reasons I cannot comprehend. No one else to block. Who was he passing off to?

[denverYooper]

facemask and a half on fatty Fairley

[Bretsky]

how are we within four points ?

[Freak Out]

I thought Fairly was supposed to be hurt? Sure isn't playing like it.

[Jimx29]

no facemask?
that was as blatant as any

[pbmax]

Kink's song for that commercial break.

[denverYooper]

no facemask?

Funny that Collingsworth missed that one. He's usually right on top of the obvious in-your-face missed penalties. He LOVES commenting on those.

[mmmdk]

how are we within four points ?

:eyes:

[Cheesehead Craig]

No facemask. His arm was around it, but didn't grasp it.

[pbmax]

how are we within four points ?

Its the Lions, remember? :lol:

[Jimx29]

Funny that Collingsworth missed that one. He's usually right on top of the obvious in-your-face missed penalties. He LOVES commenting on those.
NBC even focused in on it and held the view

[mmmdk]

I thought Fairly was supposed to be hurt? Sure isn't playing like it.

His head hurts from voices in his head!

[HarveyWallbangers]

This is a poorly officiated game. I see people talking about it here. :) I hate these games where it's not obvious how bad the officiating is. On one of Moses offsides, he wasn't actually offsides. The holding on Sitton was a joke. Now, they just missed a facemask.

[mmmdk]

Bad Cobb, bad Cobb!

[Bretsky]

crap.....no blocking there

[pbmax]

Time to train SEC retreat to break wide open tendency that has reasserted itself. Not working in NFL.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Bullshit

[denverYooper]

How about a fucking penalty on the Lions?

[pbmax]

Sitton you dope!

[Bretsky]

WHAT IN THE HELL IS SITTON DOING ???????????/ You don't get up and then point at the others

[wpony]

to me its the coaching on the D tonight they are almost playing a sort of semi prevent just trying to stop them from getting anything deep allowing the short stuff

[Cheesehead Craig]

Waste of a turnover

[Bretsky]

Crap.......are we in FG area ??

[mmmdk]

Bad Sitton, bad Sitton!

[pbmax]

So I missed replay. Was it a facemask or no?

[VegasPackFan]

we get the ball and do NOTHING with it. This game is making me sick.

[Packers4Glory]

which team is the dome team again?

[Teamcheez1]

What is the play calling?

Cobb left, Cobb right. Bad calls

[Guiness]

I love Sam Shields. and Sam remembers to get down!!

I thought hisslide at the end was smart too.

[Bretsky]

we r sucking balls

[pbmax]

Tackle by receiving team on gunner

[denverYooper]

Waste of a turnover

Agree, but the way the game's been going, I'm not going to complain too much about being down only 4 points.

[Cheesehead Craig]

So I missed replay. Was it a facemask or no?

I rewound it. Not a facemask, his forearm was around the face area but he never grabbed the facemask.

[Jimx29]

nice word placement on the cheesehead

[Teamcheez1]

This was an absolutely horrible half of football by the Packers. We have been bailed out by Stafford.

The O and D have sucked.

[mmmdk]

which team is the dome team again?

Grandma, is that you? :wink:

[red]

What is the play calling?

Cobb left, Cobb right. Bad calls

we've been doing this way too much this year. cobb is good, but he can't be your only weapon

[Bretsky]

Schwartz offfense seems to be attack mode

GB seems afraid in its playcalling and is in a sort of a prevent/safe offense

[denverYooper]

I generally get a bad feeling when M3 takes a timeout close to the half during the other team's possession.

[pbmax]

we r sucking balls

Except for Shields and Harris or whatever the new RB is.

Packers always have a new RB and OLB that we have to love because the others are proven mediocre.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Except for Shields and Harris or whatever the new RB is.

Packers always have a new RB and OLB that we have to love because the others are proven mediocre.

Ah, for mediocre LBs...

[mmmdk]

Except for Shields and Harris or whatever the new RB is.

Packers always have a new RB and OLB that we have to love because the others are proven mediocre.

Sad but true!

[Bretsky]

Hey, we almost looked like a strong defense for two plays in a row

OK

THIRD DOWN

Here are where successes and failures are made on defense.

Let's go Pack!

[pbmax]

Schwartz offfense seems to be attack mode

GB seems afraid in its playcalling and is in a sort of a prevent/safe offense

Think about that again. They lead the League in pass plays and are running more than half the time.

If M3 and Capers knew they would be in trouble with no Lang and only 4 lineman, this is EXACTLY what you would do to game the contest in their Packer favor.

[red]

Schwartz offfense seems to be attack mode

Sadly true for Packers D.

failure. our d is a big fat failure

[ThunderDan]

OK, horrible first half. Only down 4 and we get the ball to start the 3rd q.

[Teamcheez1]

No point in MM taking the timeouts. We haven't stopped them on 3rd down yet.

[Upnorth]

What a poor showing in the first half. Lucky break on d keeps us in this though. Hopefully MM makes good adjustments and we get hot on O

[pittstang5]

Another ugly half - not much faith in this defense tonight. Oh well.

[VegasPackFan]

I think we had the ball all of about 8 minutes that whole half. So now the damn Lions are pushing us around at home in the snow. There better be some serious adjustments at half.

[ThunderDan]

we seem afraid on d no matter who we are playing

It's amazing that we are 8=4 with our O not playing well this year.

Who do you think is keeping us in this season? You are better than that Red. You're a Packer FAN!!!

[pbmax]

Horseshit f'ckin prevent defense call

It was single coverage with a blitz. It was the reverse of prevent defense.

[Bretsky]

Think about that again. They lead the League in pass plays and are running more than half the time.

If M3 and Capers knew they would be in trouble with no Lang and only 4 lineman, this is EXACTLY what you would do to game the contest in their Packer favor.


We seem afraid to go downfield with the ball. I see what I see. All these quick screens to the WR's. We are afraid to take a chance in this weather. This offense looks lost right now. Once upon a time, we attacked and sent Finley down the middle of the seam while Jennings would go deep and Cobb or Nelson would go downfield as well. We had defenses on their heals. That seems lost.

[Teamcheez1]

Our offense scored 3 measly points against the Lions!

We would lose to most teams as poorly as the offense is playing. Couple that with the defense, and we are damn lucky to be down only 4.

[channtheman]

Disagree with those timeouts at the end. We have done nothing to show we can stop the Lions, all you do is risk a blown play on defense leading to a Lion score. In a game where you have been dominated so much, I'm happy to only be down 4 and get the ball in the second half.

[Bretsky]

It was single coverage with a blitz. It was the reverse of prevent defense.

ok...time to go look at that play again. Nobody even sniffed the QB

[rbaloha1]

Fortunate we are only down 4.

Expect a down to the wire game.

[pbmax]

Once upon a time, we attacked and sent Finley down the middle of the seam while Jennings would go deep and Cobb or Nelson would go downfield as well. We had defenses on their heals. That seems lost.

There is no offensive line for protection. They could barely hold the pocket to throw a 15-20 yard route for Jennings.

I want them to throw shorter, not longer. Faster reads. 1 then 2 progression, then get rid of it. Stop going backward. It doesn't help to run the ball if it never pulls them out of Cover 2 or slow down the pass rush.

Also, I thought you were commenting more about the Lions than the Pack O.

[Bretsky]

RUSSELL WILSON....wow.....wish he'd have waited a year though.....I wanted something good for Flynn

[ThunderDan]

This is funny. Every one bitching about going down field all year. Now this week we are throwing short and people are bitching.

[denverYooper]

Crazy. Dungy just said Green Bay was the best team in the NFC.

Perhaps for the sake of discussion.

Haven't we been screaming for this all year. Totally agree with you. Why would they change now. Sure, we'll see some adjustments, then they go right back to the deep stuff.

[ThunderDan]

Crazy. Dungy just said Green Bay was the best team in the NFC.

Perhaps for the sake of discussion.

I'm not sure who is better. Not sure who is worse also.

ATL got smoked by CAR.
SF gets beat by STL and tied them this year.
NYG have dropped 3 of there last 5.

[Jimx29]

Not to worry. We have stubby who excels in close and from behind games :|Not to worry. We have stubby who always adjusts the game plan at the half

[Bretsky]

This is funny. Every one bitching about going down field all year. Now this week we are throwing short and people are bitching.


As long as you don't include me in everyone I'm fine by that. I have not bitched about going downfield.

[Packers4Glory]

Better not waste any 2nd half possessions.

[denverYooper]

I'm not sure who is better. Not sure who is worse also.

ATL got smoked by CAR.
SF gets beat by STL and tied them this year.
NYG have dropped 3 of there last 5.

Rodney and Dan were on the NYG train, but they can be had if you get on Eli.

[Jimx29]

Not to worry. We have stubby who always adjusts the game plan at the half

http://i.imgur.com/ycoTu.jpg

[Packers4Glory]

yes. Ms. T is doing combat duty tonight down there reporting on that hellish sideline. dodging bombs and snipers

[Cheesehead Craig]

You got to catch that Cobb!

[Bretsky]

Very nice pass to Cobb...........gotta bring that in

[denverYooper]

Cobb needs to catch that.

[Cheesehead Craig]

And there's another fine for Suh

[pittstang5]

Rare drop by Cobb. Should have had that. I'll take the penalty - about time we have one go our way.

[mmmdk]

Suh, you suck!

[Bretsky]

You got to catch that Cobb!

yes, dammit..that's five points

[denverYooper]

Finley looking tougher lately.

[ThunderDan]

There we go. Use Finley.

[pbmax]

Finley has been located.

[pittstang5]

ugh 3rd down

[Cheesehead Craig]

That was an "elite" run by Rodgers

[denverYooper]

I love you Rodgers, but don't stick the ball out like that ever again.

[mmmdk]

Run, Aaron, Run!

[Jimx29]

attaboy Mr Rodgers

[pittstang5]

Holy fuck - Detriot must have thought he was down.

[Bretsky]

HUGE

[Packers4Glory]

i like

[pbmax]

Not to worry. We have stubby who always adjusts the game plan at the half

Might have read you at halftime. This time. :lol:

[pittstang5]

I love you Rodgers, but don't stick the ball out like that ever again.

Nice fucking catch Hayes - don't ever fucking do it again!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Now to get off the field. Defense needs to feed off the moxir Rodgers' has.

[denverYooper]

There we go. Use Finley.

I thought that Rodgers audibled a "hook 'em horns" with 2 hands before that last play (the TD scramble). Thought that would be Finley.

[Guiness]

And there's another fine for Suh

Nah, it was just a shove which warranted a penalty, but not enough of a pop to get him a fine.

[wpony]

finley is actualy looking decent tonight

[Jimx29]

Might have read you at halftime. This time. :lol:

We can only hope. I've also changed my siggy back, so it's all on me now......

[Guiness]

Holy fuck - Detriot must have thought he was down.
I thought he was down! How he magically popped out of that scrum I don't know.

[ThunderDan]

We score here, hold Det to a 3 and out and we are right back in the game at half. Then we get the ball to start the 2nd half to take the lead.

Back when it was 14-0.

[pittstang5]

God Damn - another 3rd down converted

[pbmax]

finley is actualy looking decent tonight

Running tough too. His heart is in the right place.

Can't believe Johnson held onto that.

[red]

NO HITTING ALLOWED IN THE NFL ANYMORE

[pbmax]

Did his head hit his head?

[mmmdk]

:bs:

[Packers4Glory]

I watch a lot of games and if they kept such stats on bad calls vs a team, GB would be at the top.

[pittstang5]

Where is the personal - oh wait, its' the Packers

[Guiness]

I thought that Rodgers audibled a "hook 'em horns" with 2 hands before that last play (the TD scramble). Thought that would be Finley.

I saw that too, it was different sign of some sort.

Oh, come on! That was a complete BS call on TWill there.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

This is still football, right? what a horrible call on Burnet.

[ThunderDan]

Fuck, how do you tackle in the NFL?

[pittstang5]

Did his head hit his head?

Nope

[pittstang5]

Need a T.O.

[pittstang5]

Block that kick

[Jimx29]

Was that hasons first FG at Lambeau? I thought i read somewhere where he was 0 for 21 at GB

[ThunderDan]

The Safeties in the NFL are just screwed. When the WR turns his back to catch a ball in front of the S that is a possible pick the S gets called for 15 yards 30% of the time.

[red]

Was that hasons first FG at Lambeau? I thought i read somewhere where he was 0 for 21 at GB

no, lions have lost 21 straight at lambeau i think

i don't think hanson has missed 21 fg's in his career

[pbmax]

Was that hasons first FG at Lambeau? I thought i read somewhere where he was 0 for 21 at GB

Can't be. Some games he was the only Lion that scored.

[pittstang5]

Was that hasons first FG at Lambeau? I thought i read somewhere where he was 0 for 21 at GB

I think that's wins - Hanson hasn't won at lambeau

[pbmax]

Coldplay. And my favorite VW ad.

[ThunderDan]

Coldplay.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Coldplay? That was Rush.

[Jimx29]

ok....so that I did not know

[red]

fuck yeah, lombardi time

thats gonna screw up a lot of folks around green bay

[ThunderDan]

Sitton pulled on that run.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Why are they runnning between the tackles? We've had good runs outside all night.

[ThunderDan]

Alex Green open in the middle.

[pbmax]

Coldplay? That was Rush.

coldplay going out of football broadcast. Rush in VW ad.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Way to get open Jones

[pittstang5]

There ya go - step up, well, that time he could

[Cheesehead Craig]

That close to a huge run. Get those feet up son

[red]

green with success tonight running to barclays side

[ThunderDan]

EDS on the pull leading the run.

[pbmax]

BOYKIN!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Where is Jennings?

[pittstang5]

Is Driver active

[Cheesehead Craig]

wow. That shit got blown up

[red]

holy boykin sighting

yes chris, green bay really does have a chance to go on a run, just like the 6 for 7 run they are curently on

[ThunderDan]

Ouch!

[pbmax]

green with success tonight running to barclays side

He had a great pro hold on Suh. Just enough to help.

Lions LBs knew that was coming. Film work or execution?

Finley ole block.

[pittstang5]

Ouch - Finley miss a block?

[denverYooper]

Ha. Finley caught with the Ole.

[red]

Where is Jennings?

there he is

[Packers4Glory]
