Official Packers - Cowboys Game Thread 01/11/2015

[ThunderDan]

This is what they play the games for!

Finally at long last, the Packers are playing their first playoff game of the year.

No matter what happens in the game, there is a certain group of posters who will blame the D. We already have one thread started by RutnStrut, "So what if the Packers lose Sunday."

I say screw the negativity, the Packers are the better team, playing at home, who for the last two years has developed an effective running game. We are going to see a lot of Lacy and Starks today. The D has improved since the bye and while they are not dominant they are not the liability they were at the beginning of the season in stretches.

Packers are going to win this one comfortably and Jerruh is going to have a lot of thinking to do on if he truly wants to extend Garrett's contract. 38-13, with ARod having his, I get to watch the 4th quarter from the bench afternoon in Lambeau.

[woodbuck27]

Nothing like a solid dose of Green Bay Packer fan 'Homerism' to kick off a Game Day Thread.

Yaa gotta love it ! :glug:

38-13 Packers. WOW!

The Cowboys will score 30 points today.

The Packers will score more.

Packers 37- Cowboys 30.

Just about to leave for Lambeau. Going to be dressed in the same gear as the Eagles game in November (Similar temperature). This is no ICE BOWL II no matter what the talking heads are trying to do.

GO PACK GO!!!

Well thanks for your input.

Take some extra fuel for that torch. I hope you love this game.

Come on, Pack. Come on!

Man, this is the healthiest Packer team in years. Let's see what they can do.

Keep Rodgers safe! And run the football.

Go D, and dammit the ST better be better!

[woodbuck27]

Lacy and Starks will play a huge role in the 'W' today.

The Packer WR's catch and protect the ball well.

On 'D':

Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers both show up and Sam Shields and the Packer Secondary plays well.

As a fan I've got that 'good nervous feeling' in my guts.

GO PACK GO ! GO !! GO !!!

[Carolina_Packer]

You've got to get up early on them and make them one-dimensional. That was my combo cliche.

If Murray starts shredding the Packers and small, soft A.J. Hawk is on the field, McCarthy needs to get him off the field fast. This is no time for sentimentality.

Obligatory game day post.

[Willard]

After Murray's broken hand unexpectedly falls off in the first half, the Pack D takes over: Pepper with strip sack FR;TW with pick 6, Bloodline with nasty roughing Penalty on Romo followed by Gladiator pose ("Are you not entertained?"). Pack 34, cowgirls 13. 2000 miles to the West, Russell Wilson shudders in fear.

I honestly think McGinn is deserving of a bronze head as a media contributor. Probably not gonna happen b/c then they would have to include a bunch of other beat writers for other teams, too, but he's deserving, nonetheless. McGinn is the GOAT when it comes to the Packer beat.

[George Cumby]

That's the Spirit!

Have fun, Dan! I'm Green with envy.

Pack wins handily.

[Bossman641]

Packers take it 30-17. GO PACK!!

[denverYooper]

I keep hearing the idea from the talking heads that the Cowboys should blitz.

Yeah.

[woodbuck27]

Whichever team stops the others running game....wins this game.

This game will be won inside the battle of the Lines.

The Packers OL has to have an outstanding game.

Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers have to both be effective and lead the head of the Packer Defense.

[pbmax]

Blitz away Mr. Marinelli.

Maybe McCarthy has been playing reverse possum. Convince Dallas that Rodgers is limited by saying publicly he is not limited.

I knew you knew I knew, but did you know I knew it?

[woodbuck27]

I can't wait for this game to get rockin'.

[The Shadow]

Mike Daniels & Casey Hayward will be factors in a Pack win.

[woodbuck27]

The NFL Network has Brett Favre on the phone right now and he called from some place in Arkansas. He's hunting there.

He says he doesn't think that the Cowboys though very improved this season has enough to defeat The Packers in Lambeau Field.

He commented on the extreme cold and said that the cold can actually lessen the effect of some injuries. He also said he doesn't know the full extent of Aaron Rodgers injury.

He said a big part of Dallas's resurgence this season has been their running game and they'll need all of Demarco Murray today.

So Brett Favre calls ..... a Green Bay Packer win.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Julius Peppers comes up big, he has been waiting for this type of game for a long time...

[denverYooper]

Dear Dallas. Please Blitz Aaron Rodgers.

Yes, because his only recourse against a blitz is to break the pocket.

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 60m60 minutes ago
Referee for #PackersVsCowboys is Gene Steratore.

HE'S NOT BAD. NOT SURE ABOUT THE CREW THOUGH.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Julius Peppers comes up big, he has been waiting for this type of game for a long time...

I think Peppers will be a force today, but he was on the 2010 Bears NFC Title game team.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Not sure about the rest of you, but I is ready...

[King Friday]

Whichever team stops the others running game....wins this game.

I think the red zone is the key for both sides. Whoever gets stops and forces FGs will win this game. So in some respect, stopping the run is very key in that...but red zone pass coverage will also be key.

[esoxx]

I have Packers -6 for $30. 3-0 so far this playoff season with Ravens, Colts, 'hawks all cashing so let's goooooooooo!!!!

[Freak Out]

LETS GO!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Ice Bowl II my ass. Packers play lights out and Demarco fumbles when the Claymaker hits him hard. Packers 38, Cowboys 20

[KalamazooPackerFan]

And a pretty good national anthem to start things off......thanks to all the vets!

[Rutnstrut]

And a pretty good national anthem to start things off......thanks to all the vets!

Thanks to all vets, but that was a terrible job on the anthem.

[King Friday]

Drive a stake right in the heart of those pansies...3 and out to start.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Who missed that tackle right off the back?

[pbmax]

3-4 to start

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Field look pretty torn up.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Nice tackle Barrington.

[pbmax]

Who missed that tackle right off the back?

Kickoff or first run?

[pbmax]

PEPPERS!!!

[denverYooper]

Peppers big play #1

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

My man Peppers

[pittstang5]

Nice play Peppers...so close to recovering that

[Guiness]

Wow did Peppers eat the LTs lunch there, just went right by him, and could've drawn a hold penalty too.

[pbmax]

Pistol to start and run blitz. Need to play action that at some point.

[pbmax]

There we go!

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Eddie!!!!

[pbmax]

If Lacy could read a downfield block that was a TD

[pittstang5]

Wow did Peppers eat the LTs lunch there, just went right by him, and could've drawn a hold penalty too.

I think he was on the LG, but either way, it was great

[King Friday]

Need a TD here...start building the doubt in those pathetic Cowpukes.

[King Friday]

SO who has the suck ass run defense now talking heads?

[Rutnstrut]

How long until stubby abandons the run since it's working?

[pittstang5]

Keeping Pounding!!!

[King Friday]

How long until stubby abandons the run since it's working?

play action to a TE in the red zone would be a refreshing thing I haven't seen in like 4 years.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Lets beat the red zone jinx right here

[pittstang5]

Now he gets cute. cmon MM!!!!

[denverYooper]

Adams run blocking there?

[Guiness]

That first down run by Lacy was weird - looked like he had the corner and he turned it back inside.

Adams didn't get the play call there.

[pbmax]

Good grief what has happened to Davante Adams

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Adams again, dammit.

[King Friday]

Why do we not use TEs in the red zone? WHY?????

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Q!

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Sweet!!!!

[King Friday]

Why do we not use TEs in the red zone? WHY?????

About damn time.

[Packgator]

What perfect start!! Great play by Rodgers.

[pbmax]

TD!!

[pbmax]

Now he gets cute. cmon MM!!!!

He should have play actioned after the first run got stuffed.

[King Friday]

Good grief what has happened to Davante Adams

Rookie wall. He needs an offseason in Green Bay learning the offense and working with McCarthy.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Keeping Pounding!!!

that's what she said
:lol: :lol:

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Nice runs to the right on the first drive. MM had gone left to start the game previsouly.

[gbgary]

carved them up with the run...finished with the pass. nice!

[pbmax]

OK, stop that kickoff to the right.

[pittstang5]

And Sp teams right there to fuck it all up. SMH

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Another missed tackle on kickoff, fire slcoum...

[Harlan Huckleby]

My instruction to Mike is that he should run play action every first down.

Obviously he is running Lacy early to setup our game plan.

[Guiness]

About damn time.

lol

Great play by Rodgers. He started forward, and that drew the coverage off. Church was providing in pass coverage in the middle, but started forward when Rodgers showed scramble, opening up Quarless. Flacco should be watching this, there's a thing or two he could pick up, he did not move the safety off yesterday, and it might've cost Baltimore the game.

[King Friday]

OK, stop that kickoff to the right.

I didn't mind the kickoff...just make a tackle and don't let him gain 12 yards after contact. If you make a kick like that to the corner, you should be able to stuff the guy. Slocum couldn't make use of a perfect kickoff if he tried.

[denverYooper]

Just when you get excited, ST steps in to curb your enthusiasm.

[pittstang5]

Great starting position for Dallas. Why, Slocum, why!

[Cheesehead Craig]

I just love Erin Andrews and her braid

[pbmax]

Frederick worked Guion on 1st down.

[pbmax]

Defense holding GODDAMMIT!!! JONES!

[pittstang5]

Fucking Jones...i bet

[Harlan Huckleby]

Jonesy!

[King Friday]

GET BRAD FUCKING JONES OUT OF THERE.


FUCKING BRAD FUCKING JONES FUCK

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Brad Jones sucks!

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

WTF was that from Jones?

[pittstang5]

Every single time. When are the coaches gonna learn

[Rutnstrut]

WHY THE FUCK IS THAT WORTHLESS ASSHOLE EVEN ON THE FIELD!!!!!!

[denverYooper]

Wow. Unsure how to feel there. If Murray gets that, it's potentially trouble.

[red]

get brad jones the fuck off this team already

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

He just wrapped his fucking arms around that guy!!!

[pittstang5]

Horrible!!!

[pbmax]

Nick Perry cut himself down to the ground. Otherwise he catches the ball.

[Rutnstrut]

You have to question how bright management is when they keep Jones around.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Peppers is here to play

[pbmax]

Guin fighting back.

[pittstang5]

Dallas is good on 3rd downs......

[Guiness]

Bubble screen to Beesley pretty successful, goes for 16 or 17?

That was some kind of bubble screen, right?

[pittstang5]

Need a turnover

[Harlan Huckleby]

I like intensity from Packer D, even tho things aren't going great

[pbmax]

Bubble screen to Beesley pretty successful, goes for 16 or 17?

That was some kind of bubble screen, right?

Might not be bubble but was WR screen.

[King Friday]

Need a turnover

It's all about forcing FGs. The Dallas offense is good. Just keep them out of the endzone and we win easily.

[Rutnstrut]

HELLO, pass rush????

[pittstang5]

They're just chipping away. Cmon D!!

[pbmax]

No pass rush there.

[pbmax]

Boyd is hurt

[pittstang5]

Boyd is hurt

[Rutnstrut]

Oh christ, now who's hurt?

[pbmax]

Wes Hodkiewicz ‏@WesHod 1m1 minute ago
Rolando McClain has been taken to locker room to be evaluated for a head injury

ALSO RODGERS AUDIBLE INSIDE COWBOYS TERRITORY WAS 'NEW YORK BOZO'

[pbmax]

PENNEL IS IN!

[King Friday]

Damn...Packer DL got a good push there and Murray squeezed his way through.

[pittstang5]

Gotta hold em

[pbmax]

Neal is playing well.

[pittstang5]

Nice tackle there by Neal I think.

[pittstang5]

Of course. I think the WR sold it too

[pbmax]

After yesterday, how can that be called DPI?

[denverYooper]

They gotta pick that up.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Dammit

[Guiness]

That is an AWFUL PI call

edit: not OPI, Defensive PI!

[Bretsky]

I think he was on the LG, but either way, it was great

I think you were right
Dallas has three Pro Bowl Lineman but their LG is bad
He needs to be exposed today

[Rastak]

Looked incidental.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Screwed by the refs on that drive.

[pbmax]

Burnett slow to react to that

[pittstang5]

well, tie ball game.

Fucking Jones!!!!

[King Friday]

See...why can't we run that on the goal line?

[Cheesehead Craig]

The defense did everything they could to keep that drive alive

[Teamcheez1]

Defense has to get off the field.

[Rutnstrut]

Clay with a dirty shot.

[pbmax]

They gotta pick that up.

Repped.

[Bretsky]

well, tie ball game.

Fucking Jones!!!!



Why that fuck is still on this roster is BESIDE ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And FIRE SLOCUM

They gave up way too many yds on the kickoff

[pbmax]

See...why can't we run that on the goal line?

Very good question. They have run similar but its with Cobb.

[Rutnstrut]

Screwed by the refs on that drive.

No screwed by Bad Jones who shouldn't even be a NFL janitor.

[pbmax]

Why that fuck is still on this roster is BESIDE ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And FIRE SLOCUM

They gave up way too many yds on the kickoff

One answer is that if he doesn't hold him its a TD. Jones was going to run right by him. Best of terrible options.

[Packgator]

Pass INT was BS

[denverYooper]

When's the last time KR brought a ball out past the 30?

[pbmax]

When's the last time KR brought a ball out past the 30?

2011?

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Today.

[King Friday]

Very good question. They have run similar but its with Cobb.

We run plays on the goal line as if we don't have Eddie Lacy. Fake a run and hit the flat. If that slow ass Cowboy can get wide open, so could Kuhn or Quarless or any blocker from the backfield.

[red]

that TD brought to you thanks to brad jones

that PI was horse shit, looks like the boys have the refs on their side again today

[denverYooper]

One answer is that if he doesn't hold him its a TD. Jones was going to run right by him. Best of terrible options.

That's what it looked like to me... Murray was about to run by him into open space and set up a screen. He probably panicked and the solution wasn't optimal but he feared a big play if he didn't do that.

[Bretsky]

One answer is that if he doesn't hold him its a TD. Jones was going to run right by him. Best of terrible options.

You use to lean toward one of his apologists....ae you ready to trade him for a quarter pounder and cheese yet ?

[pittstang5]

Ugh. Wide open!

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Fuck! Cobb stopped.

[pbmax]

OOOF. Would have been nice to hit that to Cobb

[pittstang5]

Holding on too long!

[pbmax]

Fuck! Cobb stopped.

More like he went out rather than up

[pbmax]

Holding on too long!

He knew he had the flag, it was thrown almost right away

[denverYooper]

Rodgers saw the hold and the flag before he went down. He was looking for a homerun.

[Teamcheez1]

When you have 5+ seconds to throw the ball, f****** throw it!

[Packgator]

OOOF. Would have been nice to hit that to Cobb

They'll come back to it. He won't miss that one twice.

[pbmax]

You use to lean toward one of his apologists....ae you ready to trade him for a quarter pounder and cheese yet ?

It wasn't good, but it wasn't the worst. That's kinda what he does. Like Bush, its just never all come together. He's best dime backer if Clay is on pass rush.

[King Friday]

Rodgers saw the hold and the flag before he went down. He was looking for a homerun.

So just throw the damn thing. You can't get a home run if you don't swing. No point getting hit and risking injury.

[pbmax]

C;mon Kuhn!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

The all pro

[red]

KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHN

[King Friday]

Kuhn...hopefully enjoying his last season as a Packer.

[pbmax]

Someone missed a block. Starks almost never goes down for a loss.

[pittstang5]

Dropsies

[King Friday]

DAMN IT RODGERS

Throw it inbounds you dumbass.

[denverYooper]

2 missed shots. Getting closer, though.

[pittstang5]

Nice Catch!

[Harlan Huckleby]

nice grab

[pbmax]

There is the Stark Plug.

[Harlan Huckleby]

this is a great game

[Rutnstrut]

Is Lacy hurt? or is stubby just doing that stupid alternating thing?

[pbmax]

Now that is a good running team. They loaded the LOS and Starks got it clean.

[denverYooper]

Like Rodgers fake roll to the right as he hands it off.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I love that call, 2 downs to get first

[Fritz]

So just throw the damn thing. You can't get a home run if you don't swing. No point getting hit and risking injury.

What's up with Lacey?

[King Friday]

Is Lacy hurt? or is stubby just doing that stupid alternating thing?

just keeping both guys fresh...starks should get more carries.

[Guiness]

How the HELL did Starks get those yards? Dallas with what, 9 guys in the box?

Replay show Bak leveling his guy.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The hurry up stresses posters

[pittstang5]

Damn it!

[pbmax]

Is Lacy hurt? or is stubby just doing that stupid alternating thing?

Remember hurt Lacy from last year? This year he is healthier. Working so far.

[pbmax]

DAMMIT!

[pittstang5]

Good lord!

[red]

THROW THE FUCKING BALL

AND QUIT CALLING LONG DEVELOPING PLAYS

[Harlan Huckleby]

ahh, shit happens

[Teamcheez1]

Throw the damn ball you a******! You have had more fumble this season than at any point in your career.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Sonofa...

[King Friday]

Damn it Packers...stop with all the hurry up and crap. Line up and play. You don't need gimmicks to beat this Cowboys defense.

[pbmax]

Double clap initiates a snap when clock is running out.

I wonder why he did that when he wasn't looking.

[King Friday]

I still don't get why we never run a conventional play action play when we are running the ball well.

[red]

just keeping both guys fresh...starks should get more carries.

this way you can make sure neither running back that gets hot can stay hot

need nice cool down periods for those guys. we couldn't have our running game upstaging the passing game now, can we?

[Rutnstrut]

Double clap initiates a snap when clock is running out.

I wonder why he did that when he wasn't looking.

Exactly what I was thinking, that one is on Rodgers.

[Rastak]

ahh, shit happens

That's a healthy attitude.

I might not be too active here, sick as a dog with a 101 fever. Makes it hard to enjoy the game.

[Guiness]

Is Lacy hurt? or is stubby just doing that stupid alternating thing?

*sigh* troll away. Cuz stupid is what MM does.

[Bretsky]

It wasn't good, but it wasn't the worst. That's kinda what he does. Like Bush, its just never all come together. He's best dime backer if Clay is on pass rush.

Really ?

Bush is FAR better on Defense than Jones

Jones just doesn't do his job and can't be trusted...ever

[pbmax]

Lineman are trying to penetrate to much. Get set, sit in hole.

[Rutnstrut]

this way you can make sure neither running back that gets hot can stay hot

need nice cool down periods for those guys. we couldn't have our running game upstaging the passing game now, can we?

Exactly what I was thinking.

[King Friday]

this way you can make sure neither running back that gets hot can stay hot

What about the run game isn't working? Both guys are running the ball well. The subbing will pay off in the 4th Qtr.

[pbmax]

Really ?

Bush is FAR better on Defense than Jones

Jones just doesn't do his job and can't be trusted...ever

Can you tell that by how many snaps Bush doesn't play on D?

[Teamcheez1]

Doesn't take much to figure this defense out.

[King Friday]

Beasley is eating us for lunch. Notice that the Cowboys aren't running a Chinese fire drill at the LOS every play. WE NEED TO STOP THAT SHIT.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I might not be too active here, sick as a dog with a 101 fever. Makes it hard to enjoy the game.

It's the playoffs, man, gotta post hurt. Stay strong, brother.

[Rutnstrut]

Beasley is eating us for lunch. Notice that the Cowboys aren't running a Chinese fire drill at the LOS every play. WE NEED TO STOP THAT SHIT.

But then if they win stubby can't take credit for being all creative.

[pittstang5]

Good God!

[Bretsky]

THROW THE FUCKING BALL

AND QUIT CALLING LONG DEVELOPING PLAYS


SOMEBODY needs to get open

Once again, we need a TE

Devante Adams looks like Junk lately

[Rastak]

You are running quite a few blitzes it seems.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Dallas is good. Gonna have to control the ball on offense.

Go pack go

[Teamcheez1]

Tramon Williams has automatically made the dud list by default.

[red]

fucking tramon

he can follow jones and hawk out the door

[Cheesehead Craig]

Why that much cushion on a blitz?

[King Friday]

What horrible tackling. The defense needs to play a hell of a lot better than that.

[Rutnstrut]

Nice to see Capers has had two weeks to fuck this up.

[pittstang5]

Very frustrating

[Teamcheez1]

What horrible tackling. The defense needs to play a hell of a lot better than that.

It's the playoffs. They haven't done that since we won the SB.

[pbmax]

SOMEBODY needs to get open

Once again, we need a TE

Devante Adams looks like Junk lately

its not that they aren't open (except for two red zone PAs). He is looking to get deep.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Devante Adams looks like Junk lately

yes. After his big game earlier this season, I started a who-needs-James-Jones thread. The jinx was in.

Adams looks like practice squad fodder, and that is OK, rookie receivers are supposed to suck

[Bretsky]

Can you tell that by how many snaps Bush doesn't play on D?


When he's on the field he's capable...below average but capable. Even Red likes him now.

Brad Jones is not capable

We got LB's at UW Madison I'd rather see on the field today than Brad Jones

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Ugh! Please god, don't let us lose this cause of piss poor tackling again..

[pbmax]

Traman saw that entire play develop and still didn't get a decent hit on the guy. And he has been the best tackler.

But worse was Hyde, he came over to help and didn't lay a glove on Williams.

[Fosco33]

Weak sauce. Williams and Hyde fucked that. And Hayward with weak effort earlier.

[red]

What about the run game isn't working? Both guys are running the ball well. The subbing will pay off in the 4th Qtr.

so far the running game is working, but letting a guy stand on the sideline freezing when he's on a hot streak (lacy) isn't a smart move

and even if the run game is working, we'll abandon it later in the game, stubby always does

[Packers4Glory]

Rodgers is not healthy enough. Deep shit cuz this defense can't stop Dallas

[Rutnstrut]

its not that they aren't open (except for two red zone PAs). He is looking to get deep.

Kind of been his sop lately as the offense has sputtered hasn't it?

[Harlan Huckleby]

What horrible tackling. The defense needs to play a hell of a lot better than that.

I think Packers will have to control ball, defense can only slow Dallas scoring.

[pbmax]

When he's on the field he's capable...below average but capable. Even Red likes him now.

Brad Jones is not capable

We got LB's at UW Madison I'd rather see on the field today than Brad Jones

red doesn't want him on D. He can blitz and play the TE in the slot. That's about what Jones does. Stick them in space and its bad news.

Rodgers is not healthy enough. Deep shit cuz this defense can't stop Dallas

Rodgers is fine...we just refuse to ever change the offense. We run the same 40 yard bombs all the time. We predictably run on 1st down and NEVER, NEVER, NEVER use play action. It is disappointing that Stubby doesn't take full advantage of his resources.

When he's on the field he's capable...below average but capable. Even Red likes him now.

Brad Jones is not capable

We got LB's at UW Madison I'd rather see on the field today than Brad Jones

when i saw jones on the field for that play, i started to post how he's about to fuck up

he fucked up before i could even type anything

the last 3 or 4 games, everytime he's been on the field a big play has happened for the other team

[Harlan Huckleby]

so far the running game is working, but letting a guy stand on the sideline freezing when he's on a hot streak (lacy) isn't a smart move

and even if the run game is working, we'll abandon it later in the game, stubby always does

Lacy's success has been due to blocking. No knock on Lacy! But either Lacy or Starks are fine, rotating is good.

we are so screwed. Dallas just knows what we're doing on off. and def. We can't stop them

i agree we call waaaaaay too many deep long developing plays

[King Friday]

Are we EVER going to attack the middle of the field with anyone?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Rodgers can't play his usual game, has to hurrry throws

[denverYooper]

Offense is out of sync a bit.

[red]

and now the run game is dead in the water

[Teamcheez1]

Two weeks to prepare and this is the best we can do? I haven't seen a new wrinkle yet. Same old plays.

What do you really expect? Stubby is an average coach at best.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Rodgers is fine...

no way

[pittstang5]

Soooo screwed!

[pbmax]

Right off the top of his helmet.

you'd think that someone in the organization would say "hey, that over the middle shit always works against us, why don't we try that?"

[Guiness]

Blue 58? lol, what is that?

Did that ball hit Nelson in the helmet?

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Packers are not stepping up, almost everybody regressing.

So change it up. Why has Cobb not been in the backfield? Why do we just do the same things over and over and over? I want to see more receivers in motion...I want to see something that shows that Stubby actually put thought into a game plan. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that happened even though he had TWO FUCKING WEEKS to figure something out.

[Fosco33]

Playing to not lose. Not playing for next week.... Long path to SB with a 50% offense.

[Packers4Glory]

Rodgers took a sack in the pocket after having all Day to throw. Usually he grts out of the pocket and makes shit happen.

[King Friday]

you'd think that someone in the organization would say "hey, that over the middle shit always works against us, why don't we try that?"

I know we don't have Gronk...but with Lacy and a capable OL, we should have SOMEONE who can at least get a consistent 6-8 yards up the seam. Put Jordy in motion and let him do it, for crying out loud.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The play calling chorus is out already. The plays were working when the blocking was solid. No play calling complaints then. Rodgers can't move much, needs perfect pass protection, is hurrying throws more than usual.

Lets go O-line

[Bretsky]

What do you really expect? Stubby is an average coach at best.

Silly statement IMO. He's second to Hoody Genius in record over last six or seven years.....wins a divisional title nearly every year.

Exactly which coaches would you take over him ?

[pbmax]

Hawk with nice fill.
