Official Gameday Thread - Packers at Seahawks

[red]

Liking a healthy Starks.

much like bulaga, i don't expect it to last unfortunately

[beveaux1]

Whether its garbage time or not, that was a nice drive.

[ThunderDan]

Liking a healthy Starks.

He had a great year last year. The roll as a number 2 RB seems to suit him well.

[King Friday]

thats right chris, we finally have them right where we want them

down 19 in the 4th quarter

Packers are going to win on a contested hail mary pass.

[Rutnstrut]

Starks is running like a stud. Dude's not backing down even when he doesn't have any blocking.

Yup. to bad Stubby abandoned the running game earlier.

[Bossman641]

you will and you'll like it. hear, son? Now shake hands and get back out there.

[denverYooper]

Rodgers unleashed. He's had good ball placement all game and now he's just letting it rip.

[beveaux1]

Sherrod's all we have. I expect he'll get better as the season goes on.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm sick of hearing about the marvelous Sea Hawks

[Rutnstrut]

Looks like Starks was being worked on.

[ThunderDan]

Holding not called.

[gbgary]

Someone on twitter suggested calling incognito.

[Harlan Huckleby]

hey Guion made a play. tough love lit a fire

[red]

thats gotta be holding

[Harlan Huckleby]

Someone on twitter suggested calling incognito.

he signed tampa

[red]

FUCK YOU BRAD JONES

they fucking called that? are you shitting me?

[George Cumby]

Shields

[SMBASS]

Fucking Jones again on a big 3rd down stop.

[Bossman641]

Brad Jones is murdering us

[Rutnstrut]

Why is that worthless fuck Jones on the field?

[George Cumby]

Fucking jones

[smuggler]

Brad Jonez, ladies and gents

[KalamazooPackerFan]

I know he won't do it but if this game doesn't convince McCarthy that there have to some changes on defense. I'd rather have a rook making mistakes than an idiot vet.

[red]

brad jones with the nonplay

get that worthless piece of shit off the field

[King Friday]

Seattle's offensive game plan >>> Stubby's

[George Cumby]

I know he won't do it but if this game doesn't convince McCarthy that there have to some changes on defense. I'd rather have a rook making mistakes than an idiot vet.

Yup.

[Freak Out]

Faster Pussycat.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

I'm done. Night, gents.

[red]

absolutely

[Freak Out]

Long live Brad Jones. Time for the boxing gloves?

[George Cumby]

Oh, and Chris? I knew the '85 Bears, and the Seahawks are not the '85 Bears.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Fuck Capers

[beveaux1]

We won't get off the field. This looks like last year.

[Rutnstrut]

Seattle's offensive game plan >>> Stubby's

Not a surprise, he gets out coached more often than not.

[Harlan Huckleby]

dumb, hayward. you don't go to QB head in open field

[King Friday]

Capers will not be in Green Bay after this season. This defense is not going to be anything better than mediocre.

[Rastak]

Ted looks good.....

[King Friday]

Oh, and Chris? I knew the '85 Bears, and the Seahawks are not the '85 Bears.

Nope. The 1985 Bears wouldn't be able to play in today's NFL. They would draw a flag every play.

[denverYooper]

Not a surprise, he gets out coached more often than not.

His record + superbowl ring state otherwise.

[George Cumby]

Between Jones extending Seahawks drives and Rodgers killing drives, we weren't going to win this one.

Oh well, it's a long season.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I hate playing the NFC West

[Rutnstrut]

Capers will not be in Green Bay after this season. This defense is not going to be anything better than mediocre.

He should have been fired after last season, all TT is doing is wasting AR's good years. They don't get sentimental with players, but they are with that worthless fuck Capers?

[George Cumby]

Packers can go 3-1 the first quarter of the season.

[gbgary]

he signed tampa

didn't know. thx.

[Smeefers]

Packers take a time out because they're just, you know, really fucking tired... And this is so damn hard man.

[beveaux1]

They are better than we are. We won't face a defense this good very often this year. I still say we win our division.

[KYPack]

Faster Pussycat.

Faster

[smuggler]

Fire Capers after the game. Cut Jones.

[ThunderDan]

Time to run it out and go home.

[George Cumby]

They are better than we are. We won't face a defense this good very often this year. I still say we win our division.

Agreed. It's a long season. M3 teams start slow. Not quite time to jump off a cliff. I would have preferred a sharper looking effort, though.

[denverYooper]

We won't get off the field. This looks like last year.

The frustrating thing is that it seems like they have a knack for the Killer Penalty (tm) like the one committed by Jones early on. Instead of getting a 3 and out, Seattle scores.

[ThunderDan]

Packers take a time out because they're just, you know, really fucking tired... And this is so damn hard man.

If Sea kicked afield goal we were only down 16. Trying to give us time for a TD and potential on sides kick.

[Rutnstrut]

They are better than we are. We won't face a defense this good very often this year. I still say we win our division.

What about those that say the Seattle O isn't that great? They have 401 yards tonight. If they are a mediocre offense, I don't even want to see this D play against a good offense.

[beveaux1]

Agreed. It's a long season. M3 teams start slow. Not quite time to jump off a cliff. I would have preferred a sharper looking effort, though.

Kind of goes to show how useless the preseason is. We looked good, went 3-1, and stunk the joint up in the first game. We'll get better unless we lose another lineman.

[KYPack]

didn't know. thx.

Neither does HH.

Tampa traded to get Logan Mankins.

Bad Richie still an FA

[King Friday]

Stubby has plenty to chew on after this one. His offense was not very efficient for large portions of the game. While Seattle constantly uses offensive plays that set up other plays, Green Bay is way too predictable and seemed overly conservative at times.

We have extra time to prep for a Jets team that will look like a high school squad compared to the Seahawks.

[Rutnstrut]

One positive tonight, i thought linsley has looked pretty good.

[gbgary]

it's only the best team in the nfl that we couldn't game plan for.

[King Friday]

Bad Richie still an FA

I'd take him in a heartbeat. We need more bad ass and less meow.

[King Friday]

One positive tonight, i thought linsley has looked pretty good.

So did Ha Ha. He's going to be a good player in the secondary.

[ThunderDan]

Great Lacy might have a concussion.

[Rutnstrut]

So did Ha Ha. He's going to be a good player in the secondary.

Yup, I think with experience he will be pretty damn good.

[Freak Out]

They are better than we are. We won't face a defense this good very often this year. I still say we win our division.

Yep. Lost players to FA and got better. Great front office and great coaching.

[Packgator]

he signed tampa

Tampa didn't sign him.

[Bossman641]

Third straight opening day loss. Sucks to wait all this time and open with a loss, probably the toughest game of the year though.

[smuggler]

Holding on Lang legit? Seems like a dick time to call a penalty..

[King Friday]

Third straight opening day loss. Sucks to wait all this time and open with a loss, EASILY the toughest game of the year though.

fixed

[KYPack]

Great Lacy might have a concussion.

I know, that was the cherry on the sundae, eh?

[Joemailman]

Well, that pretty much sucked.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

I wish I could share some of your enthusiasm, but I saw little tonight to get excited about. Same old piss poor tackling, too much confusion on both sides of the ball, terrible mental mistakes at key parts of game, all signs of a poorly coached team. Just very frustrating to see this year after year.

[Teamcheez1]

didn't know. thx.

Incognito didn't sign with Tampa.

[BZnDallas]

I don't give a shit what y'all say... I hope to mix it up again in Jan. Only way to be the best is to beat the best. I still think we can. We weren't sharp, they were. The time to be sharp is at the end of the year. If we're firing on all cylinders and don't shoot ourselves in the foot, that's a game. So here's to Seattle, good game, see you in Jan!

[Rutnstrut]

But they won a SB in 2010.

LOL. Barring any significant injury to Seattle, we will not sniff their jock. Did you see that speed? They dominated every single facet of the game. It wasn't as close as the score reflected IMO.

Agreed. I'd rather lose now and win in Jan than the other way around. But like OBND says, it's the same issues we always see in Fat Mikes teams........

[Harlan Huckleby]

It was like Pete Carroll was back at USC and playing Cal-Bakersfield

[Harlan Huckleby]

Incognito didn't sign with Tampa.

Ya, I guess they worked him out and passed.

[George Cumby]

I hate. Pete Carroll.

[Joemailman]

No more starting Game Day Threads for Mad.

[Iron Mike]

Did we really lose that badly to Seattle, or could we not overcome the vortex of suck that is Brad Jones??

[Joemailman]

Brad Jones had major suckitude, but it was a real team effort.

[Freak Out]

Well....they blew out NO to start last year and did the same this year to us. The ONLY reason it was as close as it was is due to the idiotic fumbled punt.

[Iron Mike]

I sure am glad we got those smaller, faster DLinemen since the fat guys couldn't stop the run......:roll:

[call_me_ishmael]

Bright spots:

HaHa looks like he will be a player eventually. Hard to tell if he was good in coverage, but he was active at least. Around the ball a lot.

Nick Perry isn't hurt yet and looked okay. I missed most of the 4th quarter due to a DVR mishap, though.

Not so bright spots:

We need a serious speed update to the MLBs. I'm all for speed instead of size at this point.

We need some long ends. Mike Daniels is a good, aggressive player but he looked like shit IMO. He is not an end. He is way too short. Situational player.

[Joemailman]

I think we might see Mike Pennel next week.

[George Cumby]

Ryan Pickett, Ryan Pickett, wherefore art Thou, Ryan Pickett?

[Bossman641]

I think we might see Mike Pennel next week.

Damn sure

There's some reason for optimism. They won't play a team as good the Seahawks again this season, they can't play any sloppier or as undisciplined as they did today.

However, they could also lose 3-9 more players to injuries. So who knows.

[pbmax]

Going to be lonely year as Chairman of the Sherrod and Jones Fan Club.

[denverYooper]

FWIW, the mighty 49ers of yonderseason got beat by 26 in Seattle last year and sniffed their jocks 2 more times after that, beating them once in Seattle and then playing them down to the last play in the division championship.

[BZnDallas]

No stupid running into the kicker, no stupid facemask, etc... and the game is a lot closer. I'm in no way saying we are on the same level as Seattle. They are the class of the league. What I'm saying is, to beat them, you have to play flawless. MM teams never start the year flawless. I'm saying on any given Sunday later in the year, this MM team could (not saying they will) but the could put a flawless game together and beat this Seattle team. That's what it takes. We obviously didn't see that tonight, and I didn't expect to, I guess some people here did... :roll:

[denverYooper]

Ryan Pickett, Ryan Pickett, wherefore art Thou, Ryan Pickett?

I love big Pick, but he wouldn't have helpd the fact that Green Bay's defense looked like it was stuck in 2nd gear all night trying to chase down Seattle's misdirection.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think we might see Mike Pennel next week.

I didn't understand making him inactive. You got 3 iffy guys, including Guion who is not in game shape yet.

[highlander]

Looks like Bulaga might have escaped major injury

[Iron Mike]

Welp, I guess I'll head over to JSO and see what line of BS Tank is handing out.....

[call_me_ishmael]

Ryan Pickett, Ryan Pickett, wherefore art Thou, Ryan Pickett?

Nothing to do with it. They need to utilize run blitz and a bigger end in place of Mike Daniels.

[Bossman641]

Looks like Bulaga might have escaped major injury

Please tell me where you are hearing this. I've been looking for news

[Joemailman]

Running into the kicker
At least 2 Seattle drives kept alive by Packer penalties
2 Packer turnovers deep in their own territory
A missed interception
Poor tackling all night

Seattle is really good, but the Packers made it pretty easy for them. No team is unbeatable, and the Packers are not as bad as they looked tonight.

[Bossman641]

Please tell me where you are hearing this. I've been looking for news

I'll answer my own question

From MM press conference..

“I’m told that it was a knee sprain. As of right now, we do not fear a major injury. That’s kind of where it stands until we get back and get the scans in there, we’ll know better. Right now the trainer’s words were we do not fear a major injury.”

Of course with the Packers trainers that probably means it's a leg amputation.

[highlander]

MM's pressed and Bleacher Report walked out of locker room on his own power

Yep.

I didn't expect to win tonight. I dunno how many (if any) people did. McCarthy teams rarely start hot.

Oh, and don't forget Rodgers playing just average. He had what could have been a TD on one play and a first down on another if he ran for it, but instead he just rifled it in there.

As you and others have said, the Packers have to play near flawless. They played sloppy and undisciplined AND got completely outplayed in all facets of the game. Can't make it much easier on Seattle.

[rollo]

Hello everyone, first post here.

I didn't expect us to win tonight either. I feel like the missed opportunities (Rodgers throwing the pass instead of running for first down) and the undisciplined play really was the reason we lost the game.

At least we converted a turnover into points.

[BZnDallas]

Welcome rollo!

[pbmax]

At least 2 Seattle drives kept alive by Packer penalties


You think that would have been a point of emphasis after last year's league leading performance.

[George Cumby]

This team should be ashamed of themselves, fat Mike on down. Kicking off the season on national TV and they were humiliated, straight up embarrassed, kicked in the nuts, egg on the face, full-on pants around the ankles look up, there's the boss and his daughter is giving me a BJ oh please, God, just make me small so no one can see me I am the biggest dumbass in the world what was I thinking, help me the room is spinning, I am supposed to be giving a speech to this auditorium full of people and I am wearing only underwear and I have no idea what I am to be talking about embarrassed.

I can forgive some of the stuff, but to go out and play SO flat and then foolishly and to be so painfully unprepared it's just inexcusable. and now we get to hear about getting that fixed and pad level and other inane nonsense from fat Mike. It's National tv for Pete's sake. At least PRETEND that you care.

[3irty1]

No question that the better team won.

They say a defense looks like the middle linebacker and that was certainly true for us. This defense had piss poor tackling and acute retardation in solidarity with Brad Jones. Shitbird missed 3 tackles by my count. Guion does not seem like a NFL talent.

The offense was much, much, worse though. Offense is supposed to be what this team does well. No idea why they let us get Jordy on Maxwell all game, had the Seahawks decided to treat him seriously Rodgers could have finished the game with under a hundred yards passing. Its easy to pick on Sherrod because he looked like he was paid to take a dive once he came in but really it was a team effort. Rodgers looked like a gutless game manager and was unwilling to throw his receivers open when they couldn't get separation. The receivers didn't break tackles or make people miss. Randall Cobb couldn't get separation even when covered by the MLB Wagner down the seam.

[pittstang5]

Do you think TT has a conversation with MM before every first game and says, "Hey Mike, you think we could come out of the gate and not look like ass this year?" If I were TT, I'd be real sick of this shit.

Every damn year it's the same shit. O not in sync, Special teams continue to screw up. Defense confused as hell.
