official game day thread. 10/2. packers-queens

[red]

Heres your fucking game day thread

[pbmax]

Short, concise, to the point. Just like tonight's victory.

27-13 Pack

[denverYooper]

The Packers take the lead first this week and keep it. The Vikings hang around long enough to make Packers fans nervous until the 4th quarter and then Green Bay pulls away, 35 - 24.

[Rutnstrut]

Yup I feel a win tonight. It's not a total gimme game which the Packers usually have trouble with, and it's not a powerhouse opponent which stubby does a terrible job of game planning for,

[Joemailman]

27-20 Pack

Gonna be there. Right now they're saying 80% chance of T-Storms by game time. Hope lightning doesn't become an issue.

[MadtownPacker]

Black QB Packers haven't faced: checked
Over-confident rednecks: check
Home game versus div rival that should be easy a win: check

Yeah I got a good feeling about this one.:whaa:

[Fritz]

Exactly.

[Pugger]

Is Teddy gonna play?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ted's got a prostate and a hip.

[Rastak]

Is Teddy gonna play?


I really thought he would but now I'm not sure.

[Fritz]

Luck today, Ras. You're one of the good ones.

Maybe you're got some hope in that young team and the new HC.

[Rastak]

Much better coaching staff here now...should be fun.....you guys looked really good last weekend so I'm not exactly confident but I'm hoping for a close game.

Hope you do well...next week! :duel:

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I may be an army of 1 on this, but I think Ponder is a decent QB. He's streaky. Maybe that doesn't count as "decent", but on a good day he can beat Packers.

[bobblehead]

Over-confident rednecks: check
Home game versus div rival that should be easy a win: check

Yeah I got a good feeling about this one.:whaa:

Black QB's tend to run all over our defense....I'm nervous.

Black Presidents suck really bad (so far...holding out hope for JC Watts or Allen West though).

[Zool]

Teddy is all but ruled out for the game, but maybe there's some trickery in the new coaching staff?

[Rastak]

Looks like he's out - they just added a practice squad qb to the roster.


Your odds of winning went from 80% to 99%

[Fosco33]

Looks like he's out - they just added a practice squad qb to the roster.


Your odds of winning went from 80% to 99%

Pack has done an amazing job of making backup qb's look like all stars (save for last playoff game vs. MN).

I hope weather isn't too much of an impact.

I'm worried about our run defense vs. the unknown RBs. Hawk should be renamed 'pillow' as he provides a nice landing spot for the opponents.

I do think Pack wins - but our ability to start fast has been abhorrent this year. Start fast and I think the momentum will take it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Your odds of winning went from 80% to 99%

why bother watching the game?

Stop your moping, Bridgewater is a raw rookie, I doubt he is that much better of a chance than Ponder, especially on the road.

The NFL has been completely unpredictable so far. Vikings have a decent chance tonight.

[Guiness]

Looks like he's out - they just added a practice squad qb to the roster.


Your odds of winning went from 80% to 99%

Just occurred to me that the Vikings are down to their 3rd string QB - doesn't matter if he was last year's opening day starter, he's still the #3.

[BZnDallas]

100% agree with this.

Was nervous as hell against the Lions, less nervous with the bares, and even less with these Vikings. However i think the vikings are improved. Coaching is key, but they've closed the gap in talent as well.

With MM as HC I'll never go into a game knowing we are going to win. There is always that chance his 25% dumb face will be the game planner for that week. Making me :whaa:

[Harlan Huckleby]

Luther Robinson is active. Jeebus. I went back to read about the guy on jsonline. He wasn't much in college, mostly a backup at Miami. There was no rush to sign-him as free agent after draft. He didn't look that great in preseason, I liked Carlos Grey better.

Man, this looks like the ultimate rotation body.

[Harlan Huckleby]

inactives are mostly the usual nut squad

WR Jarrett Boykin
QB Scott Tolzien
CB Demetri Goodson
LB Carl Bradford
LB Sam Barrington
C Garth Gerhart
DL Josh Boyd

[red]

that really sucks that brad jones is active

i was hoping his "injury" would be season ending

[Rutnstrut]

The first few games this year I had a gut feeling they were going to play shitty. I don't feel that tonight, but it could be because it's the Vikings. However I have absolutely ZERO confidence in the packers run D. Hopefully the Pack can score first and often, and force Ponder to throw.

[Rutnstrut]

that really sucks that brad jones is active

i was hoping his "injury" would be season ending

I usually never wish injury on anyone, but I wish the injury Jones has would be career ending.

[red]

well i got a case of beer bet with a CO that the pack wins by at least 10

better not fuck this up for me

[red]

bridgewater is officially out

not that we didn't already know that

[red]

fuck, and its "lets wear pick to look like a bunch of san fransisco fags, month"

great

[Rastak]

Just occurred to me that the Vikings are down to their 3rd string QB - doesn't matter if he was last year's opening day starter, he's still the #3.
Best 3rd string QB in the league starting tonight.....I have that going for me.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ponder beat the Packers in 2012. Last year, he tied the Packers at Lambeau.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Wake me up at halftime, will you Harlan?

[red]

if ponder sucks tonight we all get to go family style on his wife

http://www.rantsports.com/nfl/files/2013/11/Sam-Ponder-Matthew-Emmons-USA-TODAY-Sports.jpg

[Rastak]

Ponder beat the Packers in 2012. Last year, he tied the Packers at Lambeau.

Rodgers goes down the whole game changes.....

[Harlan Huckleby]

Wake me up at halftime, will you Harlan?

Will send a beep to your homecare pager.

[Maxie the Taxi]

One ping only...Heart can't stand multiples.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Rodgers goes down the whole game changes.....

Ahhh, I'm just trying to get your hopes up so the loss is more brutal. The old sucker punch.

Ponder is a piece of shit and your guys are going down.

[gbgary]

ok...a lot less shotgun, less east & west and more north & south, take what their d gives us, and most of all...at least do a decent job against THEIR run.

[Harlan Huckleby]

less east & west and more north & south .

that would be more Starks, less Lacy

[Rutnstrut]

that would be more Starks, less Lacy

Well Stubby hinted at that earlier this week.

[Rastak]

Ahhh, I'm just trying to get your hopes up so the loss is more brutal. The old sucker punch.

Ponder is a piece of shit and your guys are going down.


:-)

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Ready to go....tired of the pregame already. Packers 34 Vikings 14

[Rastak]

I'll say 24-17 - Pack.


But you never know.

[Rutnstrut]

Ready to go....tired of the pregame already. Packers 34 Vikings 14

I agree about the pregame, I usually really enjoy it. But tonight it just drones on, maybe it's because Phil Simms is on it now.

[red]

good luck ras

hope all your players break their necks

[Rastak]

good luck ras

hope all your players break their necks


Thanks Red, may Rodgers take care of the collarbone.....

[Rastak]

I'd be way more fired up if I wasn't sick as a dog.

[wist43]

Well, the pregame certainly slammed Capers and the run defense, lol...

Given the weather, maybe we don't cover the 9??

[red]

I'd be way more fired up if I wasn't sick as a dog.

had it 2 weeks ago. everyone i know has been sick in the last 3 weeks

[red]

well at least we didnt start in the shotgun

[pittstang5]

Ugh...not a good start

[red]

always wonderful to start with a 3 and out

good job guys

[pittstang5]

good punt at least

[Rutnstrut]

Well that sucked.

[Rutnstrut]

Imagine that, a missed tackle.

[Rastak]

Bit of a hold.

[Rutnstrut]

A sure tackle by HAWK!!!!

[gbgary]

nice.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Who is wearing the Packer's defense uniforms?

[George Cumby]

Black QB Packers haven't faced: checked
Over-confident rednecks: check
Home game versus div rival that should be easy a win: check

Yeah I got a good feeling about this one.:whaa:

I was with you until I heard they will start Ponder.

[pittstang5]

Nice run, keep it up

[red]

theres a nice run, hit that hole

[pittstang5]

Another nice run, keep it up

[Rutnstrut]

Great blocking.

[red]

WOW

BOOM

[Guiness]

Nice series by the Packer D there.

Wow is that rain coming down. Somehow, the field STILL looks better than Soldier field did last week.

[pbmax]

Well, hello Eddie. Nice block by Sitton.

[gbgary]

Eddie Freakin Lacy

[pittstang5]

Another nice run, keep it up!

[Rastak]

Impressive drive.

[red]

yeah baby

[Rutnstrut]

Cobb, all he does this year is catch TD's.

[pittstang5]

Text book

[George Cumby]

That was easy.

[Guiness]

Wow Ras, what's with that run D? That was something else.

[Packgator]

Perfect Drive!!

[red]

its amazing how easy shit looks when you can run the ball

[Rutnstrut]

That's what a running game will do for you.

[pittstang5]

gonna have to kick it deeper next time. Patterson scares me running KOs

[pittstang5]

There's the run D we know

[Rutnstrut]

There's that D we know and hate.

[pbmax]

First run hit at 4 yards, goes for 7.

Second run hit at 2, goes for 4. That is the problem right there.

Burnett nice hit on completion.

[Rastak]

Good D to stop him.

[pbmax]

2 nice tackles. Like another defense.

[Rutnstrut]

Nice tackling there.

[pittstang5]

Wow, what a play

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Wow! Two solid tackles by Burnett!

[red]

holy hell, burnett made a play

[pittstang5]

Who stole Burnett's jersey

[gbgary]

nice.

[pbmax]

holy hell, burnett made a play

Jones is on ST but Lattimore is starting on D so far. Not sure about dime.

[pbmax]

Listen to that crowd roar!

[pbmax]

Oh, Starks could have had that going a long way. Either behind Sitton or clearing that first tackle attempt.

[pittstang5]

Starks sighting, but Lacy was hot, why change

[George Cumby]

Way to go Blocktari. Stand up for your guy.

[Rastak]

No flag for the hold....nice.

[red]

holy fuck

wow

[pbmax]

James Starks: Instant Offense

:D

[gbgary]

wow

[pittstang5]

Sick....I saw no one was on Nelson when he took off and knew that's where it was going!

[George Cumby]

That was easy.

[Rutnstrut]

Starks sighting, but Lacy was hot, why change

Maybe Lacy is hurt, but this would be stubby thinking, something works you go away from it. On the other hand I don't mind alternating but if one is hot it doesn't make sense. It's probably what stubby had scripted, god forbid you go away from that.

[red]

OMG is that dodge dart commercial annoying

you know what it makes me want to do?

NOT BUY A DODGE, EVERRRRRR

[pittstang5]

don't kick it to Hester...no, don't kick it to Patterson.

[MadtownPacker]

Starks sighting, but Lacy was hot, why change
Lacy is running like M3 told him that tonight Starks and him would be competing for the starting gig.

[red]

Maybe Lacy is hurt, but this would be stubby thinking, something works you go away from it. On the other hand I don't mind alternating but if one is hot it doesn't make sense. It's probably what stubby had scripted, god forbid you go away from that.

thats what i was thinking

finally lacy is running well, and we finally see starks

it just makes your head hurt trying to think like fatty

[Rastak]

That's Ponder all right.....fuck.

[pbmax]

Good thing for Daniels pressure, McKinnon was open

[smuggler]

Dodge vehicles always have transmission problems anyway.

[George Cumby]

Packers offense = packers run defense.

[pbmax]

thats what i was thinking

finally lacy is running well, and we finally see starks

it just makes your head hurt trying to think like fatty

Both need to play. I prefer Starks get touches regularly even if Lacy has to sit a series when going good.

Nice tackle by Daniels/

[pittstang5]

There we go

[MadtownPacker]

Dodge vehicles always have transmission problems anyway.

Maybe that's why he doesn't want anyone to touch his dart.

Yeah!!! D is on tonight!

[Harlan Huckleby]

they'll be fighting over that sack stat

[pbmax]

Perry with sack and help from inside so no escape. Nice play.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

OMG, somebody kicked the Packer Defense in the ass, big time...

[red]

did hawk just get a sack

AND perry?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT THERE?

[pittstang5]

That tablet commercial is worse than that dodge commercial

[red]

That's Ponder all right.....fuck.

it still blows my mind that he was a high first round pick

someone should have been fired for that one

[MadtownPacker]

Both need to play. I prefer Starks get touches regularly even if Lacy has to sit a series when going good.

Nice tackle by Daniels/
Fuck you!! I got Eddie on FF. Let him run his fat ass all over the field.

[pbmax]

Dear Microsoft:

People who want a tablet do not want a laptop. Stop trying to do this. Its not working. Just create a mobile platform and let Windows be Windows on desktops and laptops.

[Rutnstrut]

did hawk just get a sack

AND perry?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON OUT THERE?

Gotta be an alternate universe.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Is this same team that beat Atlanta?

[pbmax]

Aaron threw that short.

[Rastak]

Rhodes did that 4 times last week.

[pittstang5]

DAMN!!

[pbmax]

Now THAT was predictable.

[Harlan Huckleby]

On Lacy's big runs, he had 10 foot wide holes. just sayin

[pbmax]

Throw it away!

[MadtownPacker]

Ok right there he should have thrown it away after he escaped.

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers is responsible for that sack.

[pittstang5]

That sucks. Great field position and couldn't even get 3 points. DAMN

[pbmax]

Linsley blocking air.

[red]

you knew it was coming. why not change the protection?

[Rutnstrut]

He had plenty of time to throw it away, but noooo.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Is it foggy there? Or are my cataracts acting up?

[pbmax]

Nice fill by Lattimore.

[red]

great stop by latimore

[pbmax]

you knew it was coming. why not change the protection?

MLB was coming too. Someone miscounted.

[red]

Is it foggy there? Or are my cataracts acting up?

thats rain, i think

[Harlan Huckleby]

Asiada looks like Lacey

[pbmax]

Pennel in over Guion in run nickel.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Ghost fake!

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Dodged a bullet there, Viking should have caught that.

[pbmax]

Nice safety fill by Burnett. But no wrap up on tackle. Dangerous.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Both O and D lines playing well

[pbmax]

Dodged a bullet there, Viking should have caught that.

On the plus side, Dix was right there to clobber him if he did.

[gbgary]

can't believe we blew that last possession and great field position. got greedy.

[Rastak]

Dodged a bullet there, Viking should have caught that.


Good throw - very tough catch. Nice coverage.

[Harlan Huckleby]

pssst. Vikes miss Adrian Peterson.

[pbmax]

can't believe we blew that last possession and great field position. got greedy.

Bad second down run call. Box was full.

[pbmax]

Is this a Milwaukee game? Everyone is on their hands.

[pittstang5]

Got em

[pbmax]

If he could teach that to Tanner McEvoy, Badgers might be in business on offense.

[Rutnstrut]

So the stubby game plan must be switch rb's every other series.

[Guiness]

Neutral zone infraction...what is the difference between that and encroachment?

[pittstang5]

Cmon. Just fucking run it up the gut

[pittstang5]

GOD DAMN IT.. UP THE GUT!!!!

[pbmax]

Shoulda gone wider and cut back after pursuit.

[red]

3rd and 1 and we do a deep pitch

damnit

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

God I hate those toss plays.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Cmon. Just fucking run it up the gut

McCarthy's worst down and distance his whole damn career! Just can't deal with the sort yardage.

[pittstang5]

Lacey falls down at the LOS and he'll get the first, Cmon MM!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Shoulda gone wider and cut back after pursuit.

There was a guy unblocked on outside, I think he took only cut available

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

No, sorry, I still hate that fucking toss play...

[MadtownPacker]

So the stubby game plan must be switch rb's every other series.
Competing for the #1 spot.

[gbgary]

3rd and 1...and nothing. geesh.

[pbmax]

There was a guy unblocked on outside, I think he took only cut available

Yeah but that was right into his inside help. You can always squeeze by a DB for a yard while falling down. Harder when hit by two.

[gbgary]

we're gonna mess around and let them back in the game.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I wonder if Guion is playing well against his old team.

[pbmax]

HAYWARD!

[Guiness]

Ponder's receivers giving him no help. That 1st and 10 pass was catch-able, but the WR stepped out of bounds

[Harlan Huckleby]

You can always squeeze by a DB for a yard while falling down.

ya, maybe that would have been better, but runners are going on instinct.

[Guiness]

Hayward sighting!:whaa:

[pittstang5]

WTF!

Oh, he slipped

[Rutnstrut]

I hate Phil Simms.

[pbmax]

Lacy's blockers literally blocked no one.

[red]

so, it seems like we have abandoned the run

[pittstang5]

another 3 and out, c'mon

[Rastak]

White flag on that one.

[pbmax]

Adams almost fell down again.

[Teamcheez1]

The O is looking very crappy right now and that includes Rodgers.

[red]

if they only send 3 guys then why the fuck does he even need to "take off"

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Adams almost fell down again.

Dude has got to tie his shoes.

[Harlan Huckleby]

if they only send 3 guys then why the fuck does he even need to "take off"

good point, protection was perfect.

[gbgary]

now we can't manage to get a single first down.

[Rastak]

if they only send 3 guys then why the fuck does he even need to "take off"


He thought he saw Green Acres.....

[Rutnstrut]

so, it seems like we have abandoned the run

Well of course, you have to get long passes or nothing.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Adam's slip was an act of God. Shit happens

[Guiness]

I hate Phil Simms.

Really? I'm so good god damn happy Collingworth isn't out there slobbering on the other team I don't care who it is.

[pbmax]

Ponder is strong.

[Harlan Huckleby]

crappy tackling

[red]

just horrible tackling

[pittstang5]

What should have been a no gainer - he gets 6. Ugh!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ponder is strong.


I thouugh Daniels was just worried about getting a penalty

[Rastak]

Ponder is strong.

Don't feel you have to say something nice about him.....

[pittstang5]

So we can stop them at 3rd and 3, 3rd and 12? CMON!!!!!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

This feels like a 0-0 game.

[Guiness]

so, it seems like we have abandoned the run

Nah, they've been trying. HH is right though, that first O series was an aberation, the holes Lacy was running through were huge. I'm not convinced he's back yet.

[pittstang5]

Get your head in the game defense!!!

[Rastak]

I think that got tipped - or am I wrong....

[Harlan Huckleby]

peppers looks old

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Pepper that!

[MadtownPacker]

Take that cracka ass JJ Watt!!!

[pbmax]

A pass rush cures a lot of ills.

[red]

174 year old julius peppers with a pick 6

awesome

[pbmax]

I think that got tipped - or am I wrong....

Either tipped or affected by Daniels rush.

[gbgary]

nice.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Julius fucking peppers with a pick six....cool.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Luther Robinson with tip - guy I trashed pregame.

[Rastak]

There's always tomorrow for dreams to come true.........

[pbmax]

I think he just threw it blind to the receiver he saw open BEFORE he needed to reset his feet to avoid Daniels.

[smuggler]

Green Peppers

[Guiness]

lol @ Burnett pointing him in the direction of the stands!

[gbgary]

ya know...maybe he really could play tight end.

[Rastak]

I think he just threw it blind to the receiver he saw open AFTER he reset his feet to avoid Daniels.


This guy is bad.

[pbmax]

Luther Robinson with tip - guy I trashed pregame.

Definite? I missed it on replay.

[pittstang5]

gotta be the number - 97 with the tipped ball

[Rastak]

Definite? I missed it on replay.

I think you got it right.

[pbmax]

Wasn't Daniels, blue dog was right. Robinson.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Vikings look horrible tonight

Usually the visiting team loses Thursday nights, or so I heard

[Rutnstrut]

That was pretty cool, but if they were playing even a solid team it would be very different.

[pbmax]

After that tackle, they should put Ponder at safety.

[red]

christian ponder folks

[Harlan Huckleby]

Fucking camera on bridgewater! LOL

[Rastak]

Teddy's gonna look like manning after watching this shit.

[gbgary]

Luther Robinson with a Howard Green.

[pbmax]

STOP GOING WIDE EDDIE! Stick your foot into the ground and GO!

[Rutnstrut]

If the Packers could face Ponder and Cutler every week they would go undefeated.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The whole Vikings team is flat, not just QB.

There's the Eddie Lacey we know

[pittstang5]

Ugh, more stretch plays

[red]

QUIT RUNNING LACY EAST-WEST

[Cheesehead Craig]

I suppose the dagger could have been called when Ponder was announced as the starter

[pbmax]

Short pass to TE. Lovely. Beautiful.

[pittstang5]

Horrible spot. He had the firt

[Harlan Huckleby]

Adams needs longer cleats

[MadtownPacker]

Repping Fresno State bitches!!!

[Rutnstrut]

At least adams waited to catch the TD to fall down.

[red]

and of course adams slips and fall in the endzone, just for good measure

good job though rook

[MadtownPacker]

Now change those fucking cleats kneegrow!!!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Ugh, more stretch plays

Why we run that play is beyond me. Least successful run play in the playbook but McCarthy keeps going back to it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm switching over to "Murder She Wrote." Episode where Andy Griffith co-stars, a classic.

[Guiness]

STOP GOING WIDE EDDIE! Stick your foot into the ground and GO!

Actually, just stop giving him the ball.

I really don't like the way he's running.


Adams with the TD catch. It's not looking good for Boykin's return!

[pbmax]

New idea: Thursday Night Games at neutral site.

[MadtownPacker]

New idea: Thursday Night Games at neutral site.
London?

[Harlan Huckleby]

How many non-Packer or Viking fans will keep watching this "game" on a Thursday night?

[red]

uugh, delayed blitzes

[Rastak]

He should just run every down since he can't throw.
