We talked a lot about Flynn going deep. QB said after game plan was to rely on shorter passes, "make them make tackles in the open field."

This is the new PC pussy McCarthy. I like the old one. The one that said this after Favre tossed a few picks and faked an injury so he didn't have to finish the game in dallas and reporter asked MM about now having to go into dallas in the playoffs.

"I don't care where we play them next, Dallas, Green Bay, we'll play them in the parking lot for all I care." That was a guy who coached a tough team. Well, at least they practiced outdoors this week.

One comment was an emotional reaction to a relatively close loss while chasing a playoff berth. It might have been Favre who set him off, but the proximate cause was a question about a moral victory by coming so close to beating what was regarded as a superior team.

The second is after a win when to even think about the playoffs now, because its completely out of your hands (Division certainly, Wild Card most likely). He's done one game at a time before. Its still the same guy fighting to control his temper.

That is an awesome quote.

His ability to drop lines like this on the spot is the reason I generally like M3.

Much was being made on the twitter about House being benched to start the game and Burnett taking a seat for a bit in the second half (although it wasn't for very long... I saw him back out w/in a few plays).

Not sure if that was Hyde/Bush or cold/Falcons Offense.

So was it Shields and Williams outside?

The Packers sat third-year cornerback Davon House and inserted veteran Jarrett Bush as a slot corner in the dime subpackage, and then replaced M.D. Jennings in the second quarter with second-year safety Sean Richardson following a shaky start.

Wow. We talked about this in the Game Day thread and I counted wrong. Thought Bush had been dime since Hayward went down. But that must only have been when Shields was out as well.

Wondering about this with Richardson: when he is in, he seems to play close to the LOS a significant amount of the time. that would put Burnett deep where Jennings normally is. Do you think this is the preferred arrangement or does having to play Burnett deep go against the preferred alignment and thus keep Jennings in the mix?

[pbmax]

Lacy (ankle), Brad Jones (ankle) and Lattimore (knee) were the Packer injuries.

[denverYooper]

Not sure if that was Hyde/Bush or cold/Falcons Offense.

Yeah. GB's defense might have also been forced into some unscouted looks after Jolly and Lattimore dropped and GB was down to Hawk at ILB. And the Falcons dropped a few balls.

What happened to the Falcons offense anyhow? They lost Julio Jones and Roddy White and Stephen Jackson were out a lot but they had Ryan, SJax, Gonzo, White, and Harry Douglas yesterday. That's still a lot of talent at the skills. I know they had OL issues also but it's not like that made GB's front look any different than they have for most of the year.

At any rate, the Packers D has made a lot of QBs look like Pro Bowlers, so I'll take it.

How many snaps did House play? I didn't see him out there very often.

He's only on the stat sheet with 1 ST tackle, and they don't have the snap counts on the gamebook yet.

[Fritz]

If playing Richardson closer to the LOS to help with the run puts Burnett in the back, and if that's where they've envisioned him, this could be a big help to the Pack these last few weeks.

[Guiness]

That's a lot of snaps for Richardson in his first game back after being off for almost a year!

Anyone got news on the Sherrod watch? He dressed and Newhouse didn't, I didn't hear about a Newhouse injury. No shuffling of the line this game so maybe he didn't see the field - a mixed blessing for sure, want to get him out there, but great that the line made it through the day intact!

DenverYouper - snap counts aren't in game books, are they?

They're supposed to be, but they don't usually make it in to the first version. The one I downloaded this AM hadn't been updated with snap counts yet.

True. He was sick of getting beat all the time.

[denverYooper]

I'm pretty sure Flynn gets credit for a 4th Quarter Comeback and a Game Winning Drive for his TD pass to Quarless in the 4th quarter.

Clutchness + 2.

I'd love to see that play roll.

I'd be keying on Packers # 90.

Did he get stood up? Did he land on his knees or ass? Get tosses like a rag doll?

Make a solid play?

I think Burnett plays much better roaming the large real estate. He tries to be physical, but he isn't a thick guy.

[George Cumby]

I heard that he had a problem with his eyes....... He couldn't see coming in to work.

Didn't think PMS counted as an illness, but I'm not an expert on the subject.

I looked at some of the older ones and don't see them there either. Are you looking at the ones from Packers.com? They used to be on nfl.com but I can't seem to find them there anymore.

Here is one from earlier in the season, the Bengals game

On NFL.com, you have to go to the game page, click on "Game Info" under the scoreboard, and then "Game Book" in the "Game Access" box.

The NFL does a pretty good job at making it's site pretty user-unfriendly.

Pro tip: pro-football-reference.com is much easier to get most game info, including PBP. Unfortunately they don't have snap counts yet.

Go to NFL.com, then Game Center for the game you want. Right under the scoreboard, click Game Info. There's a box on the right with the header Game Access. You can download the Game Book there.

Thanks, I see it now. I figured that out once before but like you said - un-intuitive so I didn't remember it. When you first go to the game page if defaults to the video, even though "Game Info" is first in the list.

Still not seeing snap counts though, even for the older games?

Hmm, are you saying Newhouse has a vagina? That would explain a lot...

I thought maybe you might enjoy reading this. I draw you attention (specifically) to the authors comments on the Green Bay Packer OL. He also make a definite observation regarding the teams offense and it's decline in performance since 2010....more.

Ohh Dear and who knew that Marshal Newhouse could have a vagina!? So that explains why he has two gaits...one slow and the other slower.

I'm thinking about a man (men) and any reference to them having a vagina. The sex change phenomena.

Wow, thanks. I've never seen that.

Something interesting...Starks has taken 11 ST snaps this year. No KR numbers though, and he sure as hell wasn't on the hands team. Anyone notice him out there?

Wow, thanks. I've never seen that.

Anytime. If you need it I often have it. :grin:

Lacy is banged up. That draw before half was stupid. Every coach does that and I have no clue why. Essentially nothing to gain.
