Calvin out

[Harlan Huckleby]

Calvin Johnson inactive.

Major suck job. What fun is it to beat a team without their superstar player?

This just sucks ass. Lions have another receiver out too. This makes a win less sweet, and a loss more sour. I don't like it.

Greg Punzo's twitter account and http://feed2all.eu are most likely committing some kind of crime by posting these links.

Inactive for the #Packers: Hayward, Starks, Palmer, Van Roten, Bostick, Boyd and C.J. Wilson.

At this point I kinda want to see what Bostick can do. But I think the Packers mainly want him around for next year.

stop reggie bush and the lions should not be able to move the ball today

[Harlan Huckleby]

Regarding wins, they only ask how many; not how.

Ahhh, I don't care about "they." I turn on my TV set to be entertained. It doesn't hurt me too much if the Packers lose. I'll take that risk for the joy of a greater challenge.

I think Packers should at least sit Jordy Nelson to even things up, it's the sporting thing to do.

[Harlan Huckleby]

stop reggie bush and the lions should not be able to move the ball today

Probably so.

I think the Packers are built to succeed against the Lions defense. We'll see.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Lions will lean heavy on Bush and the tight ends. Johnson out makes me nervous the defense will relax and it will still be a shootout. Packers 38, Lions 27. I'm off to a new found bar that promises to have the game on with the sound......a godsend in the Illinois. Go Pack!

[denverYooper]

I endorse this POV. Especially after Matthews's semi-regular hamstring absences.

heres your fucking thread


Obligatory Game Day Post.


Calvin out

That was a good start. I love the smell of Calvin out in the morning.

[pbmax]

Weel, Goose is better than Buck. I think.

[pbmax]

OK. Let me impersonate wist. Why are we playing a 2-4 when there is no Johnson and Burleson?

[pittstang5]

Defense playing off?

[pbmax]

Hawk won that audible battle. pick with nice stop.

However, play before Shields whiffed on tackle

[pittstang5]

uh.....

[pbmax]

Defense playing off?

Yep. Waiting for Stafford to do something dumb?

Jones with nice blitz

[pittstang5]

nice jones, way to keep going even after you tripped

[Teamcheez1]

They are really playing soft to start the game. Why the 5-10 yard cushion? Dom must not realize Johnson is out.

[pbmax]

uh.....

I think they are worried about the short fast screen game to Bush and bunched receivers more than Bush running.

[pbmax]

Well, that last 3 plays were perfect 3-4 fire zone defense.

[swede]

The "let them make a mistake"defense works as long as they make mistakes.

Still, that high effort blitz by Jones was a good force into bad down and distance.

[pbmax]

The "let them make a mistake"defense works as long as they make mistakes.

Still, that high effort blitz by Jones was a good force into bad down and distance.

Could be that. But I think Goose/Johnston's point about concern about the screen game and fast short passes is more likely the cause.

So far, Bush has only carried twice.

[pittstang5]

f that

[pittstang5]

don't matter, holding?

[pbmax]

Simultaneous. Tie goes to the offense on a penalty?

[swede]

Pink flags strike me as a bad idea.

[red]

oh good, rodgers is off again, the d is playing very soft and we're committing a bunch of mistakes

YAY US

[pbmax]

Tripping?

Oh yeah, tripping. Well he is consistently a pain in the ass.

[pittstang5]

Uh, ok, i take it.

Saw it on the replay.....officials will be watching Suh very closely

[pbmax]

Lacy looks fine but he has missed two better gaps to run into

[red]

Pink flags strike me as a bad idea.

i hate pink flags, shoes, gloves and first down markers

players get fined for wearing different colored socks, but for this whole month everyone can wear a gayest color on the planet

[pittstang5]

OMG, flag fest yet again

[red]

great, a pink flag fest

4 or 5 flags already?

[pbmax]

There has been a conference after each flag. This game will go until 4:30 PM

[red]

if its not a fucking penalty then don't throw a fucking flag

[red]

There has been a conference after each flag. This game will go until 4:30 PM

yup, this game is just creeping along

[pbmax]

Wow. Double coverage and great catch.

[pittstang5]

wow, what a catch

[red]

cobb is awesome

still don't like going for 25 when we only needed 6 though

[pbmax]

I like Lacy. A lot.

[Brandon494]

Anyone have a link where I can watch the game? Thanks in advance

[pittstang5]

hey, there's a slant...oh wait, wrong thread

[pbmax]

SLANT!

[pbmax]

Anyone have a link where I can watch the game? Thanks in advance

See page 1.

[red]

i don't like how lacy runs with his head down, thats gonna get him hurt or flagged

[pittstang5]

and no facemask penalty....

[pittstang5]

C'mon, gotta find 88

[red]

here we go with the shit play calling once agin inside the 10

[Teamcheez1]

Throw the ball out of the back of the end zone.

[pittstang5]

No flag?!?!

[red]

3 long developing plays in a row when we get to the 6

just like last game

gotta get some new red zone plays

[pittstang5]

here we go with the shit play calling once agin inside the 10

Would have like to see a run on 2nd down.

[Teamcheez1]

Our red zone offense has been miserable the last two games.

[red]

Would have like to see a run on 2nd down.

gotta do something to change things up

last game it was 3 straight runs up the middle from the 6, this game its 3 passes from the six

gotta mix it up

[swede]

Fire Slocum

[pbmax]

And Slocum should be fired along with this Head Ref.

[pittstang5]

fire slocum?

[red]

hey, another obscure penalty to slow up the game

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?

this ref is clueless, just like slocum is

[red]

it would seem like that is the type of rule a special teams coach should know

[pittstang5]

Wow, Mike neal made a play.

[pbmax]

it would seem like that is the type of rule a special teams coach should know

Yeah, you would think so. Would love to know if they covered it and the player forgot to cover his teammate.

Nice Mike Neal play.

[swede]

it would seem like that is the type of rule a special teams coach should know

Yes.

Although kneeling that player down to hold the ball aint much of a coverage advantage. ref likes pink.

[pbmax]

BTW, kudos for Raji for 2 gapping this year like a younger Pickett. Wonder of it was the coach, Jolly or Raji himself that made the change happen.

[swede]

Yeah, you would think so. Would love to know if they covered it and the player forgot to cover his teammate.

Nice Mike Neal play.

Always another thought ahead, PB. Strong possibility.

[pbmax]

And wait for bad Stafford pass defense worked that time like a charm :lol:

[pbmax]

And the return game returns to standing mediocrity. Please come back next week Hayward.

[red]

punt return by commitee

can't wait for pickets turn

[pittstang5]

At least he didn't fumble

[pbmax]

At least he didn't fumble

A good point. It could be worse. And it has been.

[red]

And the return game returns to standing mediocrity. Please come back next week Hayward.

thats an improvement over what ross was giving us

[swede]

Our punt returners seem to have less than optimal blocking. Do NFL position coaches yell like youth football coaches at games? Like, "Block, dammit! BLOCK!"

[pbmax]

Another bad hole read I think.

[swede]

First quarter in. Offensive line can be average and we can win. They just can't be bad.

I think they are pretty close to average, and that will be good.

[red]

Our punt returners seem to have less than optimal blocking. Do NFL position coaches yell like youth football coaches at games? Like, "Block, dammit! BLOCK!"

that shouldn't happen when you draft guys just for their special teams abilities like we do

[pbmax]

That was better but he had a gap to the right.

[pbmax]

OK, quick poll. Outside of late game situations, last time you remember the Packers getting a first down of 3 yards or more on a called run?

[pittstang5]

Holy shit, 3 runs and we got a first. What team is this?

[swede]

Thinking when I've seen a GB running back plow for six through tackles.

X2

[red]

put franklin in, time to change pace

pound away with lacy and let franklin open it up

[swede]

Lacy, Finley, new recipe for win.

[pittstang5]

Here we go again...need 4 and going deep. Just get the fucking 1st down!!!!

[swede]

So close.

3 and 4...GO FOR IT!

[red]

3rd and 4, we go for the home run again

[Teamcheez1]

Absolute waste of a play throwing 30 yards down the field.

[pbmax]

Watching Lions D like watching Packers D at times. Nice penalty for first down.

[pittstang5]

Oh christ...stupid!

[red]

finley was saved by a flag, he drops a first down on 4th down

prime time player my ass

[pbmax]

How does Fin NOT catch that?

[pittstang5]

Got lucky, didn't like the plan there

[pbmax]

Oh Taylor. That was a TD for you.

[red]

How does Fin NOT catch that?

he did catch it, then he dropped it

nice catch taylor

[pittstang5]

OH man!!! Come on!

[pbmax]

What happened to the hard count?

[pbmax]

Ball was late.

Well, 52 yarder works.

[red]

why did we stop running?

THERE YOU GO MASE

[swede]

There's a lot that's not crisp about this offense that cannot be blamed on offensive line

[pittstang5]

poor execution after they were given a gift. At least they got 3.

Rogers looks a little off, just a little.

[Teamcheez1]

Offense is completely underwhelming. This is a recipe for keeping the Lions in the game.

[pbmax]

poor execution after they were given a gift. At least they got 3.

Rogers looks a little off, just a little.

I agree. His second option throws have been a bit off. But he also has had 2 (Finley/Taylor) or 3 (Jones/Cobb) drops go against him.

[Guiness]

Just tuning in. Was that a 52 yarder? Nice.

After Crosby's problems last year, I was wondering when, and if, MM would trot him out for one of those.

[swede]

Can D win again?

[pittstang5]

Can D win again?

Nope

[swede]

Hawk: not special but a solid ten year starter.

[pbmax]

Again, that looked like a competent 3-4 fire zone defense forcing a 5 and out series.

[pbmax]

If Cobb is the sure hands guy, WHY did he catch the ball at the 10?

[pittstang5]

great, another flag and another shitty return.

Slocum must have some really, really good photos of McCarthy in a compromising position.

[swede]

Did that have a shot at going OB at the 2 or 3?

[swede]

Did that have a shot at going OB at the 2 or 3?

I rewound it. Pretty close to going out near goal line.

[pittstang5]

Endzone at your back....let's go deep or hold onto the ball

[pbmax]

Did that have a shot at going OB at the 2 or 3?

Could have but it was a line drive kind of kick to get that deep that fast. Looked like it was headed for the endzone.

77 just tried to trip Rodgers again.

[Fritz]

Did that have a shot at going OB at the 2 or 3?

North and south, dammit!

[Fritz]

Cut Franklin!

[swede]

We gotta work on that flea flicker. Not how it's done.

[pittstang5]

Oh, oh...that could have been bad

[pbmax]

Barclay did not realize there was a twist until Israel Idonije was holding him and letting Suh go by.

[Fritz]

The blocking is terrible !

[red]

franklin, 2 games, 2 fumbles

horrible screen

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers can just throw that away.

[pittstang5]

GOD DAMN IT!!

[pbmax]

Two fat guys missed Levy on that screen,

[red]

what a catch

[pittstang5]

ARe you serious! holy shit!

[red]

lacy found the hole that time PB

[Guiness]

That catch by Nelson was insane. Didn't break stride at all.

By my count, his next contract just ratcheted up another million.

[pbmax]

Lacy missed another cutback

[pittstang5]

Ok, here we go. Third and short! just run it up the gut!!!

[Fritz]

Stupid play call. Run for a yard, maybe?

[red]

our screens are not fooling anyone, especially levy

[swede]

That catch by Nelson was insane. Didn't break stride at all.

By my count, his next contract just ratcheted up another million.

Ha ha. I also thought that catch cost us money.

[pittstang5]

Fuck you MCCarthy......

[Teamcheez1]

This offense sucks today.

[Fritz]

Didn't we learn last week that Bahk struggles with that cut block?

Dumb play call, Fat Mike.

[red]

now that M3 has a running game, i'm not convinced he knows how to use it

[pbmax]

lacy found the hole that time PB

He did, but he has left a few yards on the field today. Never noticed that about him prior. Seems rusty or unsure of his feet to change direction.

[pbmax]

Didn't we learn last week that Bahk struggles with that cut block?

Dumb play call, Fat Mike.

That was the guy who ALMOST got the screen pass. Levy was the OLB who tipped it. I think people have caught on to that play. Need counter to it.

[swede]

We get Mike a shiny new short yardage running back and he calls a screen...on 3rd and one.

Oh well, I wouldn't have noticed so bad if it had worked.

[pittstang5]

This offense sucks today.

Jordy and Lacy are balling................But, even Rogers seems off.

[red]

This offense sucks today.

well, we had a chance to fix it after the last game, but instead of working on it, fat mike decided to reward the guys for their heroic 1-2 start and give them a whole week off

[pbmax]

Stupid play call. Run for a yard, maybe?

I think he had 6 yards if he went left.

[pbmax]

That was the rare nice draw play.

[swede]

At least we tipped field position back to even, but we are letting a Megatronless Detroit hang around.

[red]

hey look, a first down by running on 3rd and 1

[Teamcheez1]

Why didn't the Lions throw a screen pass on 3rd and 1?

[pbmax]

I think I prefer shootouts because with that kind of scoring, mistakes can be covered up easier. Running the ball is going to require cleaning up the game even tighter.

[pbmax]

hey look, a first down by running on 3rd and 1


Why didn't the Lions throw a screen pass on 3rd and 1?

C'mon. The Packers of all teams just got a first down on 3rd and 3 with a run. You can't expect M3 to do that ALL the time, can you?

[swede]

C'mon. The Packers of all teams just got a first down on 3rd and 3 with a run. You can't expect M3 to do that ALL the time, can you?

I gotta wait another six years?

[red]

Why didn't the Lions throw a screen pass on 3rd and 1?

i would have gone deep down the sideline

[Guiness]

Hawk limping

[pbmax]

Oh, no. Calling timeouts to force punt on 2nd and 6. Not good.

[red]

BOOOOOORING

[red]

Hawk limping

hamstring

[pbmax]

I gotta wait another six years?

Well, in just five years they will draft twin competent RBs to replace the injured and retired Lacy and Franklin.

[pbmax]

All this running is causing a fast game despite referee conference time.

[red]

when did mike neal get average?

[pbmax]

Well, Mike Neal might be putting Perry on the bench.

[swede]

What's with Mike Neal? Is he in running for the Mike Flanagan award?

[pbmax]

Draw, screen or rollout to TE

[pbmax]

Dammit. Eight guys in coverage. and they have a ton of time with two Packer timeouts

[pbmax]

Jones was limping running after Bush

[red]

mmmmhmm

[red]

Jones was limping running after Bush

hamstring

[swede]

Do they punt if they don't convert?

Never mind.

[pbmax]

Just horrible. MD Jennings is just terrible.

[red]

my god, md jennings is bad

theres another thing we could have worked on instead of taking a week off.....

tackling

[Teamcheez1]

Defense can't get off the field when it matters. Plays of 22 and 28 yards are ridiculous on 3rd down.

[pbmax]

Jones is on sideline according to Twitter.

[red]

Do they punt if they don't convert?

Never mind.

why wouldn't they convert?

[HarveyWallbangers]

Absolutely terrible coaching decision. If you are up 6 and you get the ball first in the second half and the other team looks like they just want to run out the clock, you let them.

[swede]

why wouldn't they convert?

I was talking about religion, obviously.

[Packers4Glory]

Just want to say thanks for passing 3rd and 1 MM even though we were running the ball really well.

[Guiness]

53 yards? Good luck.

oh

[pittstang5]

oh christ akers...of course he makes it.

[red]

tramon and shields looked like a couple of midgets on that play

[pbmax]

Absolutely terrible coaching decision. If you are up 6 and you get the ball first in the second half and the other team looks like they just want to run out the clock, you let them.

Agree. McCarthy gets a minus game for coughing up 3 points to a pathetic Lions offense.

[Teamcheez1]

Our offense has scored 6 points in the last three quarters of football.

[swede]

Just want to say thanks for passing 3rd and 1 MM even though we were running the ball really well.

[pbmax]

I have zero confidence in Franklin as a kickoff returner.

[pittstang5]

pathetic first half. Alot of players with their heads up their asses.

[red]

Absolutely terrible coaching decision. If you are up 6 and you get the ball first in the second half and the other team looks like they just want to run out the clock, you let them.

it doesn't matter if its a 3 or 6 point game. the D is gonna give up a touchdown to end the game anyways

another new return guy? what is this, family night?

[channtheman]

Oh, no. Calling timeouts to force punt on 2nd and 6. Not good.

I have disliked MM's strategy of calling timeouts for the other team late in the half every time he does it. All it does is allow the team time to realize that they can in fact move the ball on us and then they still have the time to do so. The Lions likely would have had only 60 seconds after that first 3rd down completion, and after the sack they may have not even tried to score. But since MM called timeouts for them, the Lions got 3 points. Terrible strategy. When you add the fact that our offense is playing very poorly and would likely not score in a 2 minute drill anyway, the strategy makes even less sense.

[pbmax]

Jimmy Johnson just described a defensive approach that HAS NOT OCCURRED in the actual game. Its been all nickel with six in the box for Bush.

[channtheman]

Absolutely terrible coaching decision. If you are up 6 and you get the ball first in the second half and the other team looks like they just want to run out the clock, you let them.

Nothing new from MM. He does this every chance he gets. It almost never works out for us.

[Fritz]

Agree. McCarthy gets a minus game for coughing up 3 points to a pathetic Lions offense.

I agree. The defense didn't look so spectacular this year that he could be all that confident they wouldn't do...just what they did.

Wow. The Lions without their premier player, and their second-best wide receiver out, too, and the Packers can manage only a three point halftime lead?

What is wrong with this offense? They seem to run in fits and spurts. It's awfully, awfully inconsistent. And I must say MM's playcalling is getting worse, I think.

Third and one, been running the ball well, and you call a screen after your offensive blockers demonstrated they couldn't make the cut block on that type of play last week?

[pbmax]

I don't mind the strategy. But not on 2nd and six. 2nd and 10 with a lead? Maybe.

[pbmax]

Not having solid pass protection but seriously good run blocking means Rodgers and McCarthy have an offense they aren't familiar with. They need to get familiar with it soon.

[Fritz]

I'll say. Both of them. Go back to the old school notion of running to set up the pass, maybe?

[channtheman]

I don't mind the strategy. But not on 2nd and six. 2nd and 10 with a lead? Maybe.

You're right, it does have its places. I would not feel confident trying it today after watching how the offense played the first half.

[red]

LOL, i remember when people use to get mad at me when i use to say fatty wasn't a very good coach

the tide is turning

[swede]

LOL, i remember when people use to get mad at me when i use to say fatty wasn't a very good coach

the tide is turning

Monday through Saturday he is the best in the business.

[Fritz]

Mikey needs to channel his inner 1970's-Big-Ten-football offensive coordinator self.

[pittstang5]

Why even try to catch that Franklin?

[Guiness]

So Darryl...striped shirt, geometric jacket, pattered tie and a solid pocket triangle.

I'm an engineer, and even I chocked when I saw that.

[channtheman]

Crazy to think that our team is actually shit. Who would have thought that?

[red]

Mikey needs to channel his inner 1970's-Big-Ten-football offensive coordinator self.

he needs to go back to the big ten and stay there

[Guiness]

ok, that was a nice screen to Finley

[pbmax]

LOL, i remember when people use to get mad at me when i use to say fatty wasn't a very good coach

the tide is turning

He takes a long time to adjust to changes in the team and performance. He is stubborn. But most good coaches are. Panicked changes during the second quarter or putting in a new offense in Week 3 isn't a better option.

The question is when he will break down and adjust to this O line.

[pittstang5]

I'd like to know if anyone keeps a "shot themselves in the foot, after getting on a roll" stat. Packers would lead the league

[red]

nice blocking line

glad that defering worked out so well again

[Fritz]

I'd like to know if anyone keeps a "shot themselves in the foot, after getting on a roll" stat. Packers would lead the league

That "drive" was like a wet fart.

[pittstang5]

Lions are just dinking and dunking....it's working.

[pittstang5]

oh lord

[swede]

Clay Matthews sighting

[pbmax]

Perry with a sack.

[pittstang5]

did stafford sack himself?

[pbmax]

After a hold. Wow, just went right around him.

[swede]

After a hold. Wow, just went right around him.

The worm. KGB-like.

[pittstang5]

wow, lions punter is really good

[pbmax]

What was Cobb's wonderlic score? Why does he keep fielding that punt?

[swede]

Somebody 'splain to Cobb about the touchback rule.

[pbmax]

hamstring

Jersey Al - ALLGBP ‏@JerseyAlGBP 8m
Saw Brad Jones come up limping late in the first half. Now he's out with a... say it... HAMSTRING! #Packers

[Rastak]

What was Cobb's wonderlic score? Why does he keep fielding that punt?

Yea, not smart from the 3. Of course we don't know how it would have bounced but odds are......

[pbmax]

Somebody 'splain to Cobb about the touchback rule.

Just tell him to stand on the 10 and if it goes over your head and you retreat to catch it, we will make you pay for Finley's Twitter children.

[pbmax]

Hey Ras. Suddenly the Packers have 3 RBs on the roster.

[Fritz]

Hey that running stuff is cool!

[pittstang5]

Holy shit....and no flag too. What happened?

[Rastak]

Jersey Al - ALLGBP ‏@JerseyAlGBP 8m
Saw Brad Jones come up limping late in the first half. Now he's out with a... say it... HAMSTRING! #Packers


Maybe they spend hours doing reverse leg curls.

[Rastak]

Hey Ras. Suddenly the Packers have 3 RBs on the roster.

And are using them!

[swede]

Dammit! Cobb's average is down to 36yards a carry.

[pbmax]

Yea, not smart from the 3. Of course we don't know how it would have bounced but odds are......

Yeah, they have been well placed. But a catch and return to the 8 is not much return for the risk.

[swede]

3rd and 1.

Bomb?

[pbmax]

Hey that running stuff is cool!

6 points. All there is to say about running. :lol:

Though Rodgers IS still upright versus the invading Motor City hordes.

[swede]

Empty backfield. I wonder if Detroit was selling out to stop the run this close to the goal line?

Edit: /sarcasm

[red]

were we just empty backfield, shotgun formation on 3rd and 1 before the timeout?

[pittstang5]

WHAT THE FUCK!

GOD DAMN IT!!!!

[pbmax]

Well, McCarthy doesn't fool anyone with Cobb in backfield and not run on short yardage

[red]

FUCKING WORTHLESS

[Packers4Glory]

Just want to say thanks for passing 3rd and 1 MM even though we were running the ball really well.

Again

[pbmax]

This game is from 1973. I need a Schafer beer for it. Or maybe Schlitz.

[pittstang5]

STOP GOING DEEP!!!! JUST GET THE FIRST!!!!!!

[channtheman]

3rd and 1, and no run. I can't believe I want us to run, but my God we actually can run this year! Use it MM!

[Rastak]

He was being held in the end zone. Of course I've spotted 4 obvious holds behind the LOS this game....including that Suh tripping call.

[Fritz]

For fuck's sake you can't run for the first on that third and one? Fat Mike blows.

[red]

Jersey Al - ALLGBP ‏@JerseyAlGBP 8m

[Rastak]

Pabst or Schiltz......and for the record the game was was just as good in 1973......nothing wrong with a defensive battle....I find it perfectly entertaining.

[pittstang5]

need a Turnover

[swede]

That d back is getting away with that holding on Jordy because he is so damn tight in coverage he has taught the ref to let it go. He's not holding because he is beat.

[red]

Pabst or Schiltz......and for the record the game was was just as good in 1973......nothing wrong with a defensive battle....I find it perfectly entertaining.

we as packer fans have a problem with it, because our D tends to fold late in games

Is Lacy injured? I didn't hear the broadcast crew mention anything, but it seems strange that he was out that whole series. Ras, did you also see #77 trip Rodgers (and not get called) when the Packers were at their own 4 yard line (a la Suh) or do you only notice those types of things for Green Bay's opponents?

Pabst or Schiltz......and for the record the game was was just as good in 1973......nothing wrong with a defensive battle....I find it perfectly entertaining.

Its only a defensive struggle in the red zone. Its kind of like a middle school basketball game.

lacy and his 4 and 5 yard carries just wasn't enough for FM (fat mike) so he ditched him for the home run running back

The D deserves a win. Offense not so much. Stubby not at all.

You know, was that the play he came out of the end zone? Yea, I think Fairly tried to trip him but missed as he broke the goal line to escape the safety.


edit: they finally called. I think they are letting holding go big time this across the NFL, not just this game.

No Twitter mention of Lacy. So no injury known. Probably was just Cobb's turn in backfield.
