Night games should be banned like asbestos.

Packers win a nail biter, 34-28.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[red]

Night games should be banned like asbestos.

Packers win a nail biter, 34-28.

Agreed

[George Cumby]

Red on a roll.

[denverYooper]

Night games should be banned like asbestos.

I agree. Night games are the worst.

[red]

Red on a roll.

Its all thanks to smokey

Every man has the right to build a shed over his tool.

[channtheman]

You mother fucker. Why did you post two periods? Weren't the last couple just one? I might be going crazy, but I thought they were.

[Pugger]

God, I hate waiting all damn day for our game. :x

[red]

You mother fucker. Why did you post two periods? Weren't the last couple just one? I might be going crazy, but I thought they were.

Last week was either just one, or none, cant remember. I thought it was one, so i did two today

Im trying to perfect my system here for the playoff run

[Fritz]

Just keep drinking, Red. It's working.

[red]

My bad, last two weeks were just one period.

Id edit it if i could, but obviously the dirty mexican has pesos against the pack tonight

[red]

Just keep drinking, Red. It's working.

Im on it

[Fritz]

You are the Packers' shining hope.

Brees going over the middle - the vast wasteland of the Packer defense.

[channtheman]

If we win tonight, you have to just make sure you do three the next game (we have a bye after tonight, right?)

How long and ugly will this bye  week be if the Packers lose tonight?

[pbmax]

Twitter has Lattimore listed on depth chart for game as #1 ILB, but Barrington in warmups is next to Hawk.

[King Friday]

Going to be a shootout. The Saints, thanks to the complete shithole of a division they occupy, still have a fabulous shot at nailing down a home playoff game. This game would put them in the driver's seat for that. I'm not expecting much defense here. Clay needs to make some plays. The defense can give up some points...but needs to force a few turnovers. You know Rodgers wants that 5th straight 3 TD, 0 INT game. However, the key to this game is establishing the run. We need to see a lot more Starks on the fast track...then pound Lacy when the Saint defense is tired.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Let's get this show on the road.........Packers 37, Saints 28

[ThunderDan]

Ugh, Burnett out on D. That opens up with either Richardson or Hyde at S. Richardson looked good in clean up time last week but after last year I don't feel like he can be trusted.

[pbmax]

Anyone got a link for the game stream?

[ThunderDan]

The Packer bye week seems to be coming at a great time. Win this game and then have 2 weeks for Shields and Burnett to get healthy.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Ugh, Burnett out on D. That opens up with either Richardson or Hyde at S. Richardson looked good in clean up time last week but after last year I don't feel like he can be trusted.

Brees could eat Richardson alive.....gotta go with Hyde.

[pasquale]

Anyone got a link for the game stream?

http://stream.nbcsports.com/liveextra/

[Harlan Huckleby]

Gonna be damn tough game with 2 starters down in secondary

[pbmax]

Let's not fumble the first time they have the ball guys.

[Bossman641]

The whiskey is flowing....GO PACK!!

[ThunderDan]

Brees could eat Richardson alive.....gotta go with Hyde.

My thoughts exactly.

[pbmax]

http://stream.nbcsports.com/liveextra/

Ironic, isn't it? Best stream is on the game with least demand for it.

[pbmax]

Dorsey back with Harris on KO. That is new.

[pittstang5]

Ugh!

[pbmax]

Q starts at TE.

[ThunderDan]

Nice run by Lacy.

[ThunderDan]

Throw to Cobb is like a run there.

[pbmax]

Awful Bach.

[pittstang5]

not good

[pbmax]

OK, that makes up for the false start!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

oh my

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Who needs ball control?

[ThunderDan]

Wow, great protection and mister broken play, Randall Cobb, with the TD.

[Guiness]

And nice. Maybe that will shut up these stupid announcers who were burying the Pack before opening kickoff:talk:

[Rutnstrut]

Cobb seems to be getting back to his old self.

[red]

Nice start

[gbgary]

all he does is score touchdowns.

[denverYooper]

That's a way to start off on the right foot.

[gbgary]

Cobb seems to be getting back to his old self.

he's better than his old self.

[Harlan Huckleby]

here's where rubber meets the road - defense

[ThunderDan]

A lot of Packer fans on that shot of the crowd.

[denverYooper]

Rob Demovsky ‏@RobDemovsky 2m2 minutes ago
This. RT @wingoz: In week 8 Randall Cobb has now surpassed his career high for most TDs in a 16 game season

[Harlan Huckleby]

did lacy backup ingrahm?

[pbmax]

I think Cobb's average per catch has gone up a touch in the last 3 weeks.

[pittstang5]

Cmon Defense!

[pbmax]

did lacy backup ingrahm?

Yes.

and I think Ha Ha hurt himself tackling Ingraham that time

[gbgary]

yards allowed up the gut is worrying.

[ThunderDan]

Clinton-Dix with great run support.

[red]

What giant hole in the middle of the D?

[pbmax]

Damn. Great coverage and no sack.

[pittstang5]

Man, letting Brees run for a 1st really hurts

[pittstang5]

Seriously! Fuckn D

[gbgary]

dammit

[pbmax]

For craps sake. House gave up on the route.

[Harlan Huckleby]

bad job house

[pittstang5]

Tie ball game


Fuck

[denverYooper]

Shootout!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Not a good start for the D....looked way too easy.

[red]

Clay taken right out of the play again

Theres the secondary we all know and love

And theres the whole D we all know and love

[Teamcheez1]

The defense with their usual crappy start. They had no clue what was going on in that drive.

[ThunderDan]

Come on D.

[pbmax]

Peppers chased down the line on the O line action and no one was left on the edge. Jeez the Packers are terrible at that.

[Harlan Huckleby]

maybe we need Burnett and Shields after all, at least against Brees

[ThunderDan]

Clay taken right out of the play again

Theres the secondary we all know and love

And theres the whole D we all know and love

Considering half of our starters on the back end are out, it is not surprising.

[denverYooper]

For craps sake. House gave up on the route.

I'm sure it's because McGinn wrote that article about Green Bay's secondary depth.

Of course, he also wrote an article about Hawk being mediocre, so maybe AJ will have a big game.

[pbmax]

Dear Davon. Maybe your film study didn't reveal it, but Brees is good and has a live arm. Do not give up routes deep until you hear a whistle.

[Rastak]

This is a bit different than the game I just watched..........not exactly a defensive battle.

[pbmax]

Clay taken right out of the play again

Theres the secondary we all know and love

And theres the whole D we all know and love

That was a stunt, but Neal was taken out of the play as well. He vacated the hole.

[Bossman641]

Dear Davon. Maybe your film study didn't reveal it, but Brees is good and has a live arm. Do not give up routes deep until you hear a whistle.

Seriously, what was that? He had decent coverage and just let up.

[Guiness]

Clay taken right out of the play again

Theres the secondary we all know and love

And theres the whole D we all know and love

He did get washed out.

What is that, 4 plays, 2 TDs? Looking like the over was the bet to make.

[pittstang5]

TJ lang is out. Shit

[Harlan Huckleby]

lane taylor - shudder

[pbmax]

Holy crap. Lane Taylor.

[denverYooper]

Lang to the locker room with an ankle

[denverYooper]

Lacy is fat.

[pittstang5]

And of course, Taylor blows his man.

[pbmax]

#27 is fired up about being home.

[Harlan Huckleby]

awesome job, lacy

[gbgary]

wow

[Guiness]

They just showed the Brees long throw - Mathews got away with one there. Helmet to helmet hit, and a step late.

and nice run Lacy!

[red]

How bout trying to block a guy Q?

Holy fucking catch and run by lacy

[ThunderDan]

Lacy is awesome.

[Harlan Huckleby]

the three packer backup o lineman are awful

[pittstang5]

AWE, should have been caught!

[red]

Lang to the locker room with an ankle
I have 2. one has a titanium plate in it

[Teamcheez1]

MM trying to be cute. Not a good idea.

[denverYooper]

Nice ball. That looks dumb when it doesn't work.

[ThunderDan]

awesome job, lacy

I heard he isn't that good last week. Put in Starks.

[pbmax]

I would have saved that play for later Mike.

[red]

Got too cute there

[Guiness]

Don't see them trying that Peppers experiment again. He flat out dropped that.

[Harlan Huckleby]

MM trying to be cute. Not a good idea.

I agree

[Harlan Huckleby]

I heard he isn't that good last week. Put in Starks.

Starks is better, not a bad idea

[denverYooper]

Are they that desperate at TE?

[red]

the three packer backup o lineman are awful

Yes, yes they are, but weve known that for awhile know

Nice fucking blocking guys

[pittstang5]

Fuck me! What the hell took so long after the time out. Jesus Fucking Christ. We need TDs, to FG attempts!

[pbmax]

Missed a protection call while changing that route.

[Teamcheez1]

That was an awful set of downs. You call a timeout and you still run a crappy play. One strike against MM and AR.

[red]

What a fucking waste

[Harlan Huckleby]

The O-line in disarray

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Sometimes Rodgers channels McCarthy's overthinking....just run the damn play!

[ThunderDan]

Missed a protection call while changing that route.

Didn't have time to.

[red]

The O-line in disarray

We are proper fucked if lang misses any amount of time

[pittstang5]

Points are good, but we need TDs in this game. That's gonna bite us, I know it.

[Teamcheez1]

Don't see them trying that Peppers experiment again. He flat out dropped that.

Your playing a bad defense. We don;t need that play call.

[Bossman641]

Lane Taylor sucks..but the screen pass to take advantage of Taylor's suckiness was a great call

[Rutnstrut]

WTF!!!!!

[Rastak]

lol....wtf?

[Teamcheez1]

More of MM being stupid. He is definitely headed for the dud list.

[Bossman641]

Getting way too cute

[pittstang5]

Fucking stupid

Just give them the 7 points now. Stupid!!!

[red]

MIKE! You are not smart

Not even close

[pbmax]

Oh good. Short field. Did the Saints player touch it on way out of bounds?

[gbgary]

can't believe we had to settle for 3.

now MM is wigging out.

[Guiness]

the three packer backup o lineman are awful

3?

[pittstang5]

We are proper fucked if lang misses any amount of time

Don't forget Tretter, we get him back after the bye. He could fill in...maybe?

[ThunderDan]

A little too early for the onside kick.

Ok D, let's hold NO to 3 or a turnover.

[denverYooper]

M3 just wants people to keep underestimating him.

[red]

Dumbest kid in the special ed class

[ThunderDan]

Oh good. Short field. Did the Saints player touch it on way out of bounds?

Yes, but doesn't matter on a kickoff if it goes out on the sideline.

[pbmax]

3-4 out there that time.

[Harlan Huckleby]

this is a game where I would not punt or kick field goals. They aren't gonna stop the Saints

[pbmax]

Yes, but doesn't matter on a kickoff if it goes out on the sideline.

Yeah, but I wonder if Hyde (I think?) gets the ball on the sideline of the Sants doesn't tap it higher.

[Teamcheez1]

Can our defense actually make a stop this game?

[pittstang5]

need a turnover

[Packgator]

I like the gamble. I like having a coach who makes it fun.

[red]

Our run d is pathetic

[pittstang5]

wow, how is no one over there? GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER

[denverYooper]

Well, he didn't get a touchdown there.

[red]

Way to cover guys

No need to cover the wide open man

[gbgary]

Hello D

[ThunderDan]

Yeah, but I wonder if Hyde (I think?) gets the ball on the sideline of the Sants doesn't tap it higher.

It looks like he might have.

[Packgator]

Fucking stupid

Just give them the 7 points now. Stupid!!!

No it's not. It's a early gamble.

[pbmax]

Yes. Gambles fail to bury Packers.

[ThunderDan]

Peppers with the sack.

[Bossman641]

There we go Peppers. Have a little faith in the D people.

[denverYooper]

I like the gamble. I like having a coach who makes it fun.

I actually think this might be closer to the truth than desperation or disrespect. He's trying to inject some energy early on. And the surprise onside works out for them pretty often.

See... Peppers responds.

[Bossman641]

Yeah, but I wonder if Hyde (I think?) gets the ball on the sideline of the Sants doesn't tap it higher.

I thought the same thing. The outside guy was in position to grab it til the Saint changed its path.

[pittstang5]

at least is was only 3.

Onside kick....WTF MM, WTF. No here, maybe at home, but not in New Orleans

[ThunderDan]

Nice route by Adams.

[red]

Nice quick catch and run

[Packgator]

at least is was only 3.

Onside kick....WTF MM, WTF. No here, maybe at home, but not in New Orleans

On the road makes it more of a surprise. It didn't work.....game moves on. No biggie.

[pittstang5]

That was pretty slick

[red]

Wtf

Get the fucking plays in quicker

[Teamcheez1]

The NO defense isn't so complicated that we need to use these timeouts. Line up and run the damn play.

[pbmax]

I thought the same thing. The outside guy was in position to grab it til the Saint changed its path.

If Crosby has mastered that knuckling action on the ball to get more regular, shorters hops he is officially a wizard.

[ThunderDan]

Trying to read the D and check to the perfect play is costing us at the loud Superdome.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

WTF....did Rodgers learn clock mgmt from Lovie Smith?

[pittstang5]

On the road makes it more of a surprise. It didn't work.....game moves on. No biggie.

I don't like giving NO a short field. Make them work for it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

on pace to 40-40 game. could be more

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't like giving NO a short field. Make them work for it.

depends on how much work it is

[ThunderDan]

A lot of quick timing throws no that Lang is out.

[pbmax]

Holding on another Lnsley takedown.

[ThunderDan]

Holding 69.

[red]

A-rod on pace for only 832 yards tonigt

[pbmax]

Holding on another Lnsley takedown.

Nope, Bach. Linsley took someone down hard in a nice move.

[Packgator]

on pace to 40-40 game. could be more

Current live betting is showing over/under now at 68. It was around 56 before the game.

[Teamcheez1]

Another poor set of downs. The playcalling and AR are leaving a lot to be desired.

[pbmax]

Bulaga's trouble with speed again.

[pbmax]

Another poor set of downs. The playcalling and AR are leaving a lot to be desired.

Nah. Holding did them in on that one.

[red]

Mase has his shit all the way back togethet this year

[ThunderDan]

Crosby has really gotten his head on straight after that bad year.

[Packgator]

A-rod on pace for only 832 yards tonigt

Might need that many to win tonight.

[pittstang5]

Another poor set of downs. The playcalling and AR are leaving a lot to be desired.

The holding call didn't help either

[pbmax]

Mase has his shit all the way back togethet this year

Knocking on wood and throwing salt when you said that, right?

[Rutnstrut]

Bulaga's trouble with speed again.

Maybe still not 100%

[Packgator]

Another poor set of downs. The playcalling and AR are leaving a lot to be desired.

Yeah.... he only threw for 208 in the first quarter. However.... FG's aren't going to cut it.

[gbgary]

3 again. D needs to get a stop.

[ThunderDan]

Just thinking that NO would have never thought we would do onside kicks back to back.

[ThunderDan]

Run blitz on that play.

[pbmax]

PERRY!!

[Packgator]

Just thinking that NO would have never thought we would do onside kicks back to back.

Now that would have been a surprise!

[gbgary]

Come on D...

[red]

Just thinking that NO would have never thought we would do onside kicks back to back.

I bet someone on the sideline had a hard time talking fat mike out of doing just that

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Why is there always someone running free?

[pbmax]

Maybe still not 100%

Bad ILB play there. Motioned back out of backfield and NO ONE TOOK HIM LATTIMORE!

[ThunderDan]

Rushed 5 and left middle open.

[red]

For fucks sake

[Packgator]

Saints are going to hit a couple of long ones tonight.

[pittstang5]

Football Gods are with NO tonight methinks

[Bossman641]

Fuck, needed a INT there

[Teamcheez1]

The Keystone cops are alive and well in the secondary tonight.

[ThunderDan]

God, that is frustrating. The ball deflects any place else and that is an INT.

[red]

Tramon with white mans syndrom again on that jump

[Teamcheez1]

We can't cover anybody on any route

[denverYooper]

Packers starting to get some pressure, though.

[pittstang5]

and then they'll run for the 1st

[Packgator]

Which ever defense is in the best shape...might determine this game. Going to be some tired players on D for both teams by the time this one is over.

[pbmax]

Well, red zone defense is OK.

[denverYooper]

Nice job by Ha ha to force him to bounce that back out.

[Bossman641]

HHCD missing some tackles, least he slowed him down there

[pittstang5]

Fuck.....

[red]

Way to watch and diagnose the play haha

[ThunderDan]

Interesting call to go for it on 4th. Ahhh.... Now here comes the FG unit out.

[Bossman641]

If Saints kick fg here I dont understand the timeout. Just take the penalty, still a gimme

[pbmax]

Nice job by Ha ha to force him to bounce that back out.

Yep, when he circled back out wide, I feared the Packers would lose him.

[ThunderDan]

All right O 5:35 drive for a TD.

[pbmax]

HHCD missing some tackles, least he slowed him down there

That shouldn't be too bad for him and his grade, with no contain outside, he played his leverage to force him wide and redirect. It worked because House came up to help. Nice team tackling.

[Packgator]

Way to watch and diagnose the play haha

At 21 years old....he definitely has a chance to be a good one. Glad he's a Packer.

[ThunderDan]

HHCD missing some tackles, least he slowed him down there

Noticing that also, the positive i take from that is that he is always around the ball.

[red]

How many times are we gonna hear about "Relax"

Fucking get over it

[ThunderDan]

Good protection there. Using a RB to chip and help Bak.

[pbmax]

How many times are we gonna hear about "Relax"

Fucking get over it

No one gives Wilde credit for his suggestion of a 5 letter word before Rodgers gave the answer. "P-A-N-I-C"

[Harlan Huckleby]

heck of a long throw

[Packgator]

No one gives Wilde credit for his suggestion of a 5 letter word before Rodgers gave the answer. "P-A-N-I-C"

+++

[ThunderDan]

Unbelievable catch there.

[pittstang5]

Shit, get to the redzone and shoot yourself in the foot

[ThunderDan]

But the arm bar on Jordy on the penalty play wasn't PI.

[Teamcheez1]

Run the g damn play AR!!!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Again......you cant chnage the play with six seconds left on the play clock!

[ThunderDan]

Lacy takes 3 guys to bring him down.

[denverYooper]

TD coming. Quarless.

[Packgator]

Again......you cant chnage the play with six seconds left on the play clock!

I think AR knows what he is doing. I'd say he's the smartest QB in the league.

[Bossman641]

Penalties killing the last 2 drives

[denverYooper]

Go for it!

[pbmax]

OK. FG or play fourth down?

[pittstang5]

Fuck it, go for it!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

I think AR knows what he is doing. I'd say he's the smartest QB in the league.

He may know but everybody else on the team may not be able to keep up.

[ThunderDan]

No punt by the O so far in the first half.

No forced punts by the D so far in the first half.

[ThunderDan]

OK. FG or play fourth down?

Take 3.

[Packgator]

3 FG's in row..... that's a little scary. Assuming they kick it here....and make it.

[pbmax]

I want to say go for it. But I think you need to take 3.

[pittstang5]

If we still had Crabtree, I'd say fake it.

[ThunderDan]

He may know but everybody else on the team may not be able to keep up.

Lindsley was looking to has left when ARod wanted the quick snap.

[Teamcheez1]

The offense has not looked great against a very mediocre defense. Need to do better.

[pbmax]

Lindsley was looking to has left when ARod wanted the quick snap.

They have to go to the Guard watching Rodgers and the Center making calls. Then when Rodgers gestures for snap, Guard punches Center in the hip.

[Packgator]

He may know but everybody else on the team may not be able to keep up.

That's a good point. That's one reason why it's so important to keep your team together year after year. Impossible to do....but TT does about as good as you can.

[pbmax]

I hate zone in this situation.

[red]

Well all right all right all right

Thats what i love about those disaster/space movies. I get older, they stay just as lame

Yes they do

[pittstang5]

need a turnover

[ThunderDan]

The offense has not looked great against a very mediocre defense. Need to do better.

They have scored every time they have had it.

[pittstang5]

Fucking screen

[pbmax]

And that is why you run zone, to avoid a screen breaking.

[pittstang5]

Yes! Clay

[pbmax]

I think Matthews hurt himself chasing that down.

[ThunderDan]

Great effort sack by Clay. Forced NO to use their last TO.

[Packgator]

They have scored every time they have had it.

Should have made the punters (both teams) inactive for this one.

[pittstang5]

For the love of god!!! Someone cover

[Rutnstrut]

How many times are we gonna hear about "Relax"

Fucking get over it

It's not nearly as annoying as always hearing about "Katrina" every fucking time something is in NO.

[pbmax]

For the love of god!!! Someone cover

On that one I think Richardson was close, but very good throw.
