Official packers - Ravens game thread 10/13/2013

[Bossman641]

Rastak, I'm reading Bishop suffered a pretty serious looking knee injury. What happened?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I know this hardly matters now, but what does the peanut gallery think about MM declining a 10-yard penalty and giving the Ravens the ball 4 and goal at the one?

I thought the Pack dodged a brain fart. Good job by D, but that seems like bad odds.

[red]

so, does M3 go with the running game. or does he turn franklin and lacy into wide receivers for the second half and keep doing whats not working

we'll see how stubborn that fuck fucker is

[Rastak]

Rastak, I'm reading Bishop suffered a pretty serious looking knee injury. What happened?


Didn't see the play but when they helped him off he was really really pissed so I suspect it is serious.

Too bad too, that guy is a player. He's been getting alot more snaps.

[Harlan Huckleby]

gotta start working on something

can't win games with just jordy and a bunch of PS guys

Jones at least will be back. But still.... bad scene.

[red]

i actually liked the call. i figured giving them another down and some more room for a TD would have lead to a TD

and i was a bit surprised they wen't for it on 4th

[swede]

My first inclination was to accept, but then I thought it would give them a chance to get lucky and score. I did not expect them to go for it, but that move made sense to, if you have Baltimore's D.

So, I was okay with it before it turned out well.

[red]

defense is just killing it today

just hope they can keep it up for the whole game. one bad series could lose us the game

[ThunderDan]

Ok great 3 and out d. Let's get a TD and start to put away.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm afraid to watch the 2nd half.

[red]

Jones at least will be back. But still.... bad scene.

we don't know that har. his is a knee injury too. he was limping pretty bad going to the locker room

[King Friday]

Remember...this defense is without Clay. Our defense is playing extremely well right now. We do have time to get the offense back on track, even without Cobb. Just USE THE FUCKING RUN GAME!!!!!

[red]

Didn't see the play but when they helped him off he was really really pissed so I suspect it is serious.

Too bad too, that guy is a player. He's been getting alot more snaps.

get use to it with bishop

hell of a player, but injuries do find him

[King Friday]

Finley is probably scared of getting injured really bad right now.

[red]

3rd and short, we go long and throw an INT while in FG range

horrible fucking play call, just horrible

[ThunderDan]

Boy as bad as the o was playing in the first half at least they didn't have a turnover.

[swede]

Offense could try to let the D have a little more time to rest since they are the only ones playing today.

[King Friday]

3rd and short...let's throw deep.

The offensive braintrust needs an overhaul.

[red]

Remember...this defense is without Clay. Our defense is playing extremely well right now. We do have time to get the offense back on track, even without Cobb. Just USE THE FUCKING RUN GAME!!!!!

maybe, just maybe, the defense works better as a unit without clay?

[TravisWilliams23]

Jordy's got to at least knock that down.

[pittstang5]

What's wrong with Perry?

[ThunderDan]

3rd and short, we go long and throw an INT while in FG range

horrible fucking play call, just horrible

Arod has to make sure that only Nelson can catch it.

[red]

Finley is probably scared of getting injured really bad right now.

i think finley is always scared of getting hurt

[red]

What's wrong with Perry?
he got hurt on that fumble return at the end of the half

guys had to pick him up and haul him off the field so there wouldn't be another penalty

[swede]

Arod has to make sure that only Nelson can catch it.

ARod was being swallowed up in a wall of purple. He needed to throw that one away instead of throwing off back foot to a receiver who was covered.

[Bossman641]

Can we just get a td? Somehow..someway

[swede]

I like Hyde. That'll do until something flashy and dangerous comes along.

[ThunderDan]

Can we just get a td? Somehow..someway

Blocked punt? Haa haa.

[red]

holy shit, boykin caught a ball

[Tony Oday]

Nevermind 6 year 60 mil contract :) hehe

[pittstang5]

Red Zone woes

[swede]

Scandal! Green Bay Packers make Jordy Nelson and Boykin switch jersies at halftime.

Bill Belichek is angry he didn't think of it first.

[King Friday]

Boykin is now the new Cobb.

[red]

Blocked punt? Haa haa.

we already had our one blocked punt for this century, but the ravens ended up with the ball anyways

[King Friday]

I'd like to see Franklin in the backfield...we need some receiving threat out of the backfield now.

[red]

QUIT GOING DEEP

no game management what so ever with this team

[swede]

Those flesh colored sleeves don't fool me 87!

[Guiness]

DJ Williams with a bad drop.

Near as I can tell he's pretty much useless.

[red]

quit wasting time outs too

[red]

1st and 20 and we go for a 40 td on first and a run up the gut for a couple on second

this is where, if finley was worth a shit, he should be making his living

[ThunderDan]

Wonder how Zig is doing at the game.

[King Friday]

1st and 20 and we go for a 40 td on first and a run up the gut for a couple on second

this is where, if finley was worth a shit, he should be making his living

this is where we could run a capable screen pass...if the coaching staff knew what that was.

[swede]

That was a good effort. Crosby is "Bing!"

[red]

50 yarder into the wind

dead perfect

nice job mase

[ThunderDan]

At least we are up by more than TD.

[Bretsky]

Money...Mason Crosby seems to be back

[pittstang5]

Quarless needs to get an opportunity. Finley is playing like ass

[King Friday]

Who would've thought that defense and Crosby would be our strength in week 6 back in August?

[pittstang5]

At least we are up by more than TD.

Not for long, me thinks, defense can't keep this up

[Bretsky]

50 yarder into the wind

dead perfect

nice job mase


I had such a hard time with the kicker debate earlier.
talent wise IMO he's a top 5 kicker

[denverYooper]

1st and 20 and we go for a 40 td on first and a run up the gut for a couple on second

this is where, if finley was worth a shit, he should be making his living

Finley needs to step up if he wants to earn what he thinks he deserves.

But that pass was high.

[King Friday]

Quarless needs to get an opportunity. Finley is playing like ass

Quarless has had chances...he isn't any better.

[Tony Oday]

Why is Boykin not in AR's back pocket? Nobody us coaching him up wtf.

[pittstang5]

Piss poor

[red]

Quarless needs to get an opportunity. Finley is playing like ass

quarless has been in there playing, the only things he's done though so far was knocking boykins down on that long play

[Bretsky]

terrible tackle by Tramone

[red]

tramon fucking williams

misses a tackle, then slows down to adjust his facemask

he can be traded for a wr

[Bretsky]

Micah Hyde..........GREAT play

[red]

I had such a hard time with the kicker debate earlier.
talent wise IMO he's a top 5 kicker

agreed

it just got too difficult to defend him towards the end of last year

[Bretsky]

I was to see Joe Flacco of 2013 race Lynn Dickey of the 80s

[ThunderDan]

Good stand by the d there to hold them to a FG.

[red]

Not for long, me thinks, defense can't keep this up

there it was, one single bad play and our lead is down to 6 and it was almost a 2 point lead

[Bretsky]

agreed

it just got too difficult to defend him towards the end of last year


I was at Family night to witness that kicking competition where he could not kick it straight

BUT

George whatever the hell his name was had nice aim but seemed to put everything he had into a kick to just get it 45 yards

The Ball just jumped off Crosby's foot as most had a good 60-65 yards of distance

[Bretsky]

Would be nice to get Finley involved
I know yall hate him....but if Cobb is out for a while and Jones out

It has to be Finley who steps his game up for this team to continue

[red]

there, run that play every single time

[swede]

JORDY!

[ThunderDan]

Boom!

Great throw but how do you let Nelson get behind you?

[swede]

RUN THE BALL! WOO HOO!

[gbgary]

Play action baby.

[swede]

It is so good to see the play action really really work.

[King Friday]

The only guy on the team capable of catching the ball...and you let him get behind you. Ravens...that was painful.

[Guiness]

60 yards in the air and he hits Jordy in stride?

Check that guy for PEDs! Both of them!

click, click, click. That's the sound of Jordy's contract ratcheting up a million at a time.

[Tony Oday]

Click, click ,click is the sound of the knees of our WRs...

[swede]

And now...the official Packer we are comfortably ahead in the 3rd quarter Prevent defense.

[Bossman641]

Come on defense stay strong. Can't let up now

[Packers4Glory]

I'm certain the D will give it right back

[red]

WTF

i go take a shit and come back to see i missed the one decent offensive play of the game?

[ThunderDan]

Great play by Neal but doesn't wrap up.

[gbgary]

Keep it up D!

[swede]

And now...the official Packer we are comfortably ahead in the 3rd quarter Prevent defense.

Apologies. Good defensive series.

Weird play-calling by Ravens, though.

[King Friday]

WTF

i go take a shit and come back to see i missed the one decent offensive play of the game?

Your ass better get back on the shitter when our offense has the ball again.

[red]

Your ass better get back on the shitter when our offense has the ball again.

thats what i'm thinking

one fucking play i missed

[Iron Mike]

Great. The offense finally does something, and the Defense decides to start hemorrhaging yards.

[pittstang5]

nice job Tramon...ass

[red]

and tramon laughs

i really hate him

[pittstang5]

Need a turnover

[pbmax]

That is twice Hawk has blown a outside zone run.

[red]

i think you could trade tramon and finley and get two somewhat decent wr's

[Iron Mike]

Not for long, me thinks, defense can't keep this up

Prescient.

[red]

what the hell defense?

[pbmax]

Neal looks terrible breaking down in coverage

[pittstang5]

there's the d we know...plays great for 3 quarters

[Bossman641]

Why does defense always let up after td

[red]

i don't care what the national media has been saying, mike neal is not a very good LB, didn't do much at DE either

[pbmax]

What was Shields looking at?

[pittstang5]

Yep, great job D

[red]

unreal

can't close out a fucking thing

[King Friday]

Neal looks terrible breaking down in coverage

Of course he does...he's a damn DE.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

C'mon Shields, know where you are on the field!

[ThunderDan]

That's horrible Shields.

[pittstang5]

we will lose this game by one point, 17 to 16...guaranteed

[pbmax]

Also, now that the offense is coming back on the field. Having a good run blocking O line sucks if they can't pass block.

[Bossman641]

Let's run the damn ball

[pbmax]

Lot of CJ Wilson and Jolly in that series. Were Pick and Raji getting a break?

[gbgary]

they had to give in at some point. the o has to come through again.

[denverYooper]

And now...the official Packer we are comfortably ahead in the 3rd quarter Prevent defense.

Maybe not quite prevent, but they sure went down easy there. A penalty here. A CB miscue there and boom.

[Packers4Glory]

I'm certain the D will give it right back
This is my surprise face
8-/

[pbmax]

BTW, Perry who was out at the start of the half is back in.

[red]

Also, now that the offense is coming back on the field. Having a good run blocking O line sucks if they can't pass block.

or if you don't run

[Packers4Glory]

Need 3 here.

[pbmax]

Hill ran straight into the one unblocked Raven on that return.

[pittstang5]

What really bothers me is that the Ravens tried that fade every single time in the redzone.

[pbmax]

or if you don't run

Its a mystery,

[ThunderDan]

Ok offense, the d bailed your ass out in the first half. Now bail them out after giving up a TD with a long drive and put up points.

[denverYooper]

BTW, Perry who was out at the start of the half is back in.

That's good. They were getting close to needing Kevin Greene throw on some pads.

[pbmax]

What really bothers me is that the Ravens tried that fade every single time in the redzone.

I think Shields thought he was getting one play but was dead wrong. Just caught dead to rights jumping the wrong route.

[pbmax]

Here we go. Four minute offense. Run run incomplete punt

[pbmax]

Kuhn you idiot, just power through for a FIRST DOWN instead of jump cut.

[ThunderDan]

Get the first down stop hurdling people.

[Fritz]

I think Shields thought he was getting one play but was dead wrong. Just caught dead to rights jumping the wrong route.

Peeking into the backfield. And if Kuhn hadn't hesitated he'd have gotten it

[red]

come on kuhn

how can you not get that first down. if he would have gone straight it would have been a 1st

[pbmax]

Yeah, won't need that TO.

[Bossman641]

Kuhn needs to run a db over. Not feeling good about this third down

[red]

we got to figure out this play clock shit

we waste way too many TO's on that shit

[Fritz]

What the hell is wrong with the offense, can't even get the play off in time?

[denverYooper]

At least they picked up the first down after burning a TO.

[Packers4Glory]

Love passing on 3rd and 1. Why use your rookie hammer. And when u do u pitch it outside

[Fritz]

Calling mike Finley?

[pbmax]

Also, stop running OOB.

[Rastak]

I really should turn the debacle I'm watching off but I can't by rule....I should put on red zone channel and watch the end of your game.

[red]

does hurry up offense mean that we stand around and look around until theres 3 seconds left on the play clock, then we have to "hurry up" and snap it?

[gbgary]

Nice.

[red]

Calling mike Finley?

good luck, that phones turned off

[denverYooper]

Better get at least 3 here.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

There is nothing up the middle. Why do we keep running it there?

[Fritz]

Haven't seen the game til now. Finley effing up today?

[swede]

Eddie Lacy is certainly something we haven't seen here in a while.

Ryan Grant and Ahman Green were a little bit alike.

This dude is quite a handful.

[red]

how much time is left guys?

i can't pick up those little numbers with my standard definition TV

[Packers4Glory]

Yeah I don't get the no huddle snap w 1 sec left

[swede]

Haven't seen the game til now. Finley effing up today?

He's playing like Finley 2013.

[Fritz]

A tough running third down? Tell Wist!

[pbmax]

On the play clock, I think they are starting the play clock and the refs are taking forever to place the ball and give down and distance.

[swede]

Eddie Lacy is certainly something we haven't seen here in a while.

Ryan Grant and Ahman Green were a little bit alike.

This dude is quite a handful.

And 110 yards :)

[red]

Eddie Lacy is certainly something we haven't seen here in a while.

Ryan Grant and Ahman Green were a little bit alike.

This dude is quite a handful.

bettis his who a lot of the national guys are starting to compare him to

i'd take that

[denverYooper]

How many times are they going to have a guy run for 100 yards until that stat stops coming up?

[Fritz]

Don't fuck up fellas. At least a field goal.

[swede]

A tough running third down? Tell Wist!

Keep asking about Finley, Fritz.

[Bossman641]

Ras what's up with Vikings? Just listless? Certainly can't blame them after everything that has gone on. I feel awful about it all

[pbmax]

how much time is left guys?

i can't pick up those little numbers with my standard definition TV

Just over 5 minutes

[Guiness]

Incredible scrambling throw by Rodgers. I was screaming for him to just throw it away but he made a nice completion.

Just saw the replay. That was a bad ball, good job of Finley to coral that.

[Fritz]

Well, is he gonna show up?

[swede]

The last two runs Lacy hasn't been heads up looking for holes.

[pbmax]

Haven't seen the game til now. Finley effing up today?

Lotta reachable balls he awkwardly jumps/twists for and doesn't get. Also bad blocking

[red]

Just over 5 minutes

thank you.

when it was 8 i thought it was 3 left

[Bossman641]

Is that 2 or 3 to wasted? 3 I believe

[King Friday]

Both defenses seem to be getting tired out...the offenses haven't exactly been ball control machines today.

[Fritz]

Rodgers saw something he didn't like. Isn't this where Boykin was supposed to be good? Red zone and all that?

[gbgary]

Get the 1st down!!

[pbmax]

Yeah I don't get the no huddle snap w 1 sec left

Wasting clock. Despite my complaint about 4 minute offense, they have burned through over 5 minutes of clock on this drive

[red]

The last two runs Lacy hasn't been heads up looking for holes.

i think he needs to be more concerned about just holding on to the ball right now

fg, should win it, a fumble could lose it

[TravisWilliams23]

Can't challenge now. Has to come from the booth.

[denverYooper]

Get the 1st down!!

I second the motion.

[pbmax]

Well, is he gonna show up?

Nice route adjustment to get open for scrambling Rodgers. made the catch got first down.

[red]

pink out game. give me a break

looks like a bunch of fags prancing around on the field

[denverYooper]

Went with the safe play.

[red]

why did we just throw?

we just left 40 seconds on the clock

[ThunderDan]

Ok offense, the d bailed your ass out in the first half. Now bail them out after giving up a TD with a long drive and put up points.

Well done O!

[gbgary]

Boykins was wide open.

[Fritz]

Bad throw by Rodgers. Nelson open for a first.

[swede]

The defense put us into position to win.

Let's shut it down.

[pbmax]

OK. No TOs left but burned clock down to 4:20 (!) on that drive. Hard to complain with a two score game.

Question is will Ravens air it out or feed Rice on draws.

[pbmax]

Yeah, given they went for a FG, a run makes more clock sense there. But Nelson was open for a lower throw.

[Bossman641]

Boykins was wide open.

Yep

[pbmax]

Still not a fourth QB comeback

[red]

that was a very ross-like move to bring that one out

[denverYooper]

I'll take that. Jones had been giving the Ravens good field position.

[Fritz]

Baltimore announcers: "Morgan Crosby"

EA Brit sports announcers: Packers just had a bye last week.

[pbmax]

Love that decision Jacoby on the return to the 10.

[red]

come on d, don't just let them march down the field

[Tony Oday]

The Hawk is swooping today!

[red]

Holy shit, what a hit

3 sacks for AJ today

[swede]

Nice timing for that blitz call. Cool

[denverYooper]

AJ HAWK BITCHES!

[Bossman641]

Hawk best game ever?

[swede]

The refs have John Harbaugh Jim Harbaughing

[Fritz]

Hooray for offensive penalties! Unless they convert.

[red]

i'm saying hawk is your game MVP, is not hawk then crosby, cause he's the difference in the game for the second week in a row

[red]

Hawk best game ever?

gotta be, its not even close

[pbmax]

What the hell happened?

[swede]

Seriously?

[Fritz]

How'd he get that open?

[denverYooper]

You have got to be kidding me.

[red]

god damnit

fuck our team

[Bossman641]

Fuck you mcmillan

[gbgary]

what the...

[TravisWilliams23]

UFB

[Guiness]

Who was that that fell on the long completion? Got tangled up in his own feet.

[Fritz]

What the fuck D??

[red]

How'd he get that open?

burnett let him run right by him and mcmillen just fell down

[Tony Oday]

Im dreaming right? That didnt just happen.

[Packers4Glory]

Wow. Good defense

[KalamazooPackerFan]

We just look lilke a poorly coached team.

[pbmax]

Who was that that fell on the long completion? Got tangled up in his own feet.

McMillan

[red]

Mcmillen is completely worthless

[Fritz]

Cluster fuck shit safety play on that fourth

[red]

We just look lilke a poorly coached team.

its not the first time

[pbmax]

McMillan took a false step forward and could not regain feet to backpedal or run. He was WAY too far upfield

[Packers4Glory]

More Banjo!!

[pbmax]

Need to get one first down.

[Packers4Glory]

Better get a 1st down or we will lose.

[Fritz]

Better be able to get the first downs and run this out

[red]

i got a bad feeling about this

[pbmax]

OK, please stop having Finley block Suggs. PLEASE!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

WTF? Have we got any yards rigth up the gut?

[Packers4Glory]

Screw it run a play action hit Finley down the seam.

[ThunderDan]

Burnett was covering the middle of the field at the first down line. McMillan had deep responsibilities and blew goat balls.

[red]

fat mike will go ultra conservative, then punt

ravens willdrive a whole 10 yards and kick the game winning FG

[Fritz]

Cut McMillan.

Goddamn offense better get some first downs. Offensive line better block.

[gbgary]

mm shouldn't have taken that penalty.

[red]

thats just fucking great robin that your team can give you hape

my team gives me no hope at all and takes years off my life

[Fritz]

Get the first down!!

[pbmax]

STAY THE FUCK IN BOUNDS YOU COLOSSAL IDIOT!

[Tony Oday]

Hell yeah

[Packers4Glory]

Run it out

[ThunderDan]

Great catch by Finley but needs to fall down in play.

[gbgary]

FIN!!

[red]

holy shit

whew

THERE....IS....YOUR........DAGGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[swede]

I said Finley would need three catches. there it is!

[Bossman641]

Screw it run a play action hit Finley down the seam.

Buy this man a drink!!

[Fritz]

Why couldn't he stay in bounds??

[swede]

Why couldn't he stay in bounds??

He do how he do.

[Packers4Glory]

Be nice if Fin woulda stayed in

[Fritz]

Just hang on to the goddamn ball.

And get the first down, dammit.

[red]

Why couldn't he stay in bounds??

we're talking about a guy with the IQ of a gnat

[pbmax]

There would be less than 1 minute left if he falls down.

[pbmax]

There is a football player with brains. Give him some money.

[Tony Oday]

See Fin a rookie is smarter than your dumb ass.

[Fritz]

Smart play!

[swede]

We win the battle, but at what cost, Lois?

At what cost?

[ThunderDan]

Lacy knows to stay inbounds Finley didn't.

[red]

Lacy is a smart player. could have tried for the TD, but did what was best for the team

great game kid

[pbmax]

Still not a fourth Quarter comeback, but it is a victory in a less than 4 point game.

[Guiness]

That has to be one of the weirdest things I've seen, and shows an incredible precense of mind - an RB going into a root first slide.

[TravisWilliams23]

Finley is one dumb sumbitch.

[red]

We win the battle, but at what cost, Lois?

At what cost?

playoffs seem like a long shot without 3 decent wr's

[KalamazooPackerFan]

MVPs-Hawk, Lacy and Crosby (who would have thought that?)

[King Friday]

playoffs seem like a long shot without 3 decent wr's

Patriots have been doing it for years.

[pbmax]

We win the battle, but at what cost, Lois?

At what cost?

Going to have to sign Gurley off the Browns practice squad

[Fritz]

Finley as dumb as a rock.

Not sure I'd give him much money. Can't block for shit, drops passes. Not that fast. Doesn't play big.

[TravisWilliams23]

Give Boykin the reps all week and maybe he'll be ok.
