Official Packers vs. 49ers Game Day Thread

[Joemailman]

The bad:

Kaepernick has had probably his 2 best games of his career against the Packers.

Packers have lost 4 in a row vs the 49ers.

579!!!

The Good:

Packers are stronger and more athletic up the middle defensively than they were in 2012-2013 with Clay in the middle and Ha-Ha at Safety. Even with Burnett out, they're better off than they were with M.D. Jennings and Jerron McMillan at Safety.

Probably no team in football has lost more talent the last 2 years than the 49ers. Frank Gore, Michael Crabtree, Patrick Willis, Justin Smith, Aldon Smith, Mike Iupati all gone in just a couple of years. Vernon Davis will not play today.

The 49ers will try to run the ball to keep the ball away from the Packers offense. It won't be enough.

Green Bay 30
Santa Clara 20

[pbmax]

How would everyone feel about having Joe Philbin back as consultant for M3 and Clements before the playoffs?

[Fritz]

I'm surprised Joe has lasted this long. Every year the narrative seems to be that THIS is the year those improving Dolphins will make a run. Joe's gotten about three extra lives already, it seems.

[Joemailman]

We get Buck and Aikman. West of the Mississippi getting Minnesota and Denver until you get to the left Coast. http://506sports.com/nfl.php?yr=2015&wk=4

[Upnorth]

My thoughts on this match.
1). After joe's post I'm watching this with the volume off.
2) I'm sick of worrying about our defense falling apart in the second half and us losing a solid lead. Is it possible to have our defense stop people in the 4th quarter

[Fritz]

It is.

They shut out Seattle in the 4th quarter when it mattered.

[Guiness]

We're doomed.

Red hasn't stepped up to the plate with the other game day thread, I don't know how we're all going to be motivated enough to post for a whole 4 quarters.

As Supreme Fuckdoggle Overlord as appointed by Upnorth, I hereby bestow this week's award to the first poster to comes up with a thread full of, um, well, titties in football uniforms (or to tell the truth, no uniforms) before kickoff!

I know I'm on shaky ground with this, but I think we'll all be thankful later :clap:

[Packgator]

I'd like to see Abbrederis get a catch today.

[ThunderDan]

Packers will a solid victory to go perfect for the first quarter of the season. Packers 30-17.

[George Cumby]

Anyone got a link?

Am I the only cheap skate who won't give money to the satellite companies?

[ThunderDan]

Anyone got a link?

Am I the only cheap skate who won't give money to the satellite companies?

Madison is a GB market. We get every Packer game.

[Rutnstrut]

I'd like to see Abbrederis get a catch today.

Or at least play and not get hurt.

[George Cumby]

I'm in bumble fuck middle of the mountains, rabbit ears don't work. And I'm cheap and I can't stand satellite tv. So I have to beg, borrow and steal.....

he always has

[red]

come on rook, jump up and grab it

[Rutnstrut]

There's where you miss Jordy.

[ThunderDan]

What a play fake. Monty needs to catch that.

[red]

STOP RUNNING LACY OUT WIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how can they not figure out that it doesn't fucking work, EVER

[esoxx]

With a scruffy beard Joe Buck looks like an ageing member of a gay boy band.

QFT

[ThunderDan]

That was a weake penalty.

[pbmax]

DickRod with a minus block.

[red]

That was a weake penalty.

yeah it was

if that was a penalty, then ever single passing play could have 2 or 3 flags on it.

in fact, on the next play, 2 players did the exact same thing with no flag

[pbmax]

Good screen. Would be great if either lineman hit someone.

[Rutnstrut]

The Niners still tackle well.

[ThunderDan]

Sitting missed the block on that screen.

[ThunderDan]

Sitting missed the block on that screen.

Sitton.

[pbmax]

yeah it was

if that was a penalty, then ever single passing play could have 2 or 3 flags on it.

in fact, on the next play, 2 players did the exact same thing with no flag

Can do it within 5 yards of LOS.

STARK PLUG FOR A FIRST!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Lacy hurt?

[Harlan Huckleby]

clinical

[Packgator]

There's where you miss Jordy.

No doubt. Those have been TD's with Jordy the past few years.

[Guiness]

Is Lacy ok? Starks with the carries early.

[ThunderDan]

RichRod with the catch.

[esoxx]

You can't stop Dickrod, you can only hope to contain him.

[ThunderDan]

Another great play fake by ARod.

[gbgary]

laser to Cobb.

[red]

Can do it within 5 yards of LOS.

STARK PLUG FOR A FIRST!

they were both 5 yards past the line. cobb was like 10 or 15 yards down field when his guy put both hands on him and moved him a bit

[pbmax]

I think Lacy is OK

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Rodgers is f'ing magisian!

[red]

You can't stop Dickrod, you can only hope to contain him.

for his 2 catches a game

and theres his second, he's done for the day

[gbgary]

dickrod for the td.

[ThunderDan]

Wow, Rodgers to Rodgers for the TD.

[Packgator]

Sounds like lots of Packer fans in the stadium.

PS.....Rodgers is good!!

[esoxx]

I think Aaron Rodgers is going to make it in this league.

[pbmax]

I think Rodgers is OK too.

[Rutnstrut]

I think Lacy is OK

He looks slower than normal today.

[Joemailman]

DickRod!!

[pbmax]

Wow, Rodgers to Rodgers for the TD.

I think that ties the record for namesake TD passes.

[Guiness]

Great awareness by Dickrod to improvise a route extension!

[George Cumby]

Check my sig.

[Harlan Huckleby]

DickRod with a minus block.

Ya, I went back and slo-moed that cluster-fuck. Dickrod looked bewildered. But he redeemed himself.

[Packgator]

I think that ties the record for namesake TD passes.

There must be a Smith to Smith or Jones to Jones combo somewhere in NFL history.

[pbmax]

Great awareness by Dickrod to improvise a route extension!

He Viagra'd that route? :lol:

[pbmax]

There must be a Smith to Smith or Jones to Jones combo somewhere in NFL history.

Some pair had three TDs. RodRod had two I think.

[pbmax]

Dammit.

[Guiness]

JHC, put a spy on Kap

[pbmax]

Raji what the hell?

What?

Raj got face masked.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Defense looking crappy

[ThunderDan]

Raji missed but that was a jerk of his facemask.

[Harlan Huckleby]

odd call

[Guiness]

Refs missed that facemask on Raji.

edit: instant Karma

[Rutnstrut]

Why is it ok for a ball carrier to grab the facemask on a stiffarm?

[pbmax]

Wow. A hybrid zone-man that worked with short throw and tackle. Nice.

Hyde still punt returner.

[Packgator]

Some pair had three TDs. RodRod had two I think.

I thought you were just guessing. The namesake TD record is now in Green Bay. Cool.

[Harlan Huckleby]

San Fran got screwed twice - but perhaps just more proof that God is a Packer fan.

[red]

only thing that sucked worse then raji on those 2 plays was the refs

[Packgator]

Raji missed but that was a jerk of his facemask.

Almost a great play.

[pbmax]

Why is it ok for a ball carrier to grab the facemask on a stiffarm?

They can touch it, but not grab. Get benefit of doubt with extended arm. But Hyde grabbed Raji's.

[Rutnstrut]

Raji missed but that was a jerk of his facemask.

It seems they hardly ever call a facemask against ball carriers that stiff arm and grab the mask.

[ThunderDan]

Looking at the Raji miss, it looks like it should have been offsetting facemasks to me.

[red]

i, really hate these nation-wide ads

[Harlan Huckleby]

They can touch it, but not grab.

Rule for the vip room?

[red]

hmm, thats a neat little wrinkle. monty as a RB

he does have the size

[Packgator]

Montgomery runs it out of the backfield.

[ThunderDan]

Monty with a great run. Well done rookie.

[pbmax]

i, really hate these nation-wide ads

Rea-ly hate those G*damn ads.

[Harlan Huckleby]

It looks like Packers are practicing against the scout team.

[red]

Rule for the vip room?

but they can grab it right? if the tip is big enough?

[Packgator]

hmm, thats a neat little wrinkle. monty as a RB

he does have the size

And it saves Cobb some wear and tear.

[pbmax]

hmm, thats a neat little wrinkle. monty as a RB

he does have the size

Cobb package from last year with healthy WR.

[red]

Rea-ly hate those G*damn ads.

yeah, that ones way better

[pbmax]

I thought you were just guessing. The namesake TD record is now in Green Bay. Cool.

One of the research guys dug it up during Bears game I think. DickRod's other TD.

[Packgator]

Rea-ly hate those G*damn ads.

I turn channel when they come on so it doesn't get stuck in my head.

[ThunderDan]

We are wasting too many timeouts this year with playcock running down.

[MadScientist]

Gotta stop wasting so many timeouts early.

[pbmax]

We are wasting too many timeouts this year with playcock running down.


Gotta stop wasting so many timeouts early.

Agree.

[Packgator]

We are wasting too many timeouts this year with playcock running down.

Yes, one or two per half.

[red]

come on, throw the ball to james jones more

[Guiness]

There must be a Smith to Smith or Jones to Jones combo somewhere in NFL history.

There was a post or thread about this a little while ago. I think the reigning champion was the Brad Johnson to Keyshawn combo.

they've got 8 - http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JohnBr00/touchdowns/passing/

edit: Rodgers-Rodgers is at 8

[ThunderDan]

Looks like the stadium is 2/3 filed.

[Packgator]

Looks like the stadium is 2/3 filed.

With lots of Packer fans.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Running backs? We don't need no stinkin' running backs!

[pbmax]

LANG!

[red]

ok, so are starks and lacy both hurt?

whats with all the wr's in the backfield

[Packgator]

No one open.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Packers lack a downfield threat to stretch field.

[pbmax]

That was higher than I remember, but the names are right.

[esoxx]

ST gaffe

[Guiness]

Looks like the stadium is 2/3 filed.

Pretty obvious on TV. People staying away because of how dangerous it is?

[red]

we got too fucking cute on that series IMO

first quarter against a team you've historically been shit against, is no time to be testing out your new trick plays

[esoxx]

Nice shank.

[pbmax]

So 1 TO, 2 pre-snap penalties. One of those on ST.

[Harlan Huckleby]

R.I.P.

[Packgator]

Ripkowski flies around on ST.

[pbmax]

we got too fucking cute on that series IMO

first quarter against a team you've historically been shit against, is no time to be testing out your new trick plays

They have been running that stuff since last year to get a bad matchup on a WR.

[red]

ST gaffe

how do you fuck up lining up on a punt or FG. seems to me that you would go to the same place almost every time

[Harlan Huckleby]

Time for the Wautoma Wonder to come in game and light it up.

[ThunderDan]

Pretty obvious on TV. People staying away because of how dangerous it is?

I don't think so. I use to live in Cali and they were fair weather fans.

[red]

They have been running that stuff since last year to get a bad matchup on a WR.



but running it 4 or 5 times in 1 series?

cobb was back there twice, motioned out once

and monty was back there 2 or 3 times

stick to doing what we do best and what lit them up on the first drive

[Harlan Huckleby]

we got too fucking cute on that series IMO

I agree. The occasional skinny-legged guy running out of backfield is OK as change-up

[esoxx]

Time for the Wautoma Wonder to come in game and light it up.

He probably does hit the hippy lettuce.

[red]

kap does jack shit against every other team in the NFL, but always tears us up

[pbmax]

C'mon Sam. Make that tackle.

[ThunderDan]

Hayward shot the gap and missed the tackle.

[red]

boldin holding on that play, not called

[red]

nice miss sack clay, great blitz though

better drop

[Guiness]

Gona need another Surface after that shove out of bounds!

[ThunderDan]

Come on Clay, get him down.

[pbmax]

but running it 4 or 5 times in 1 series?

cobb was back there twice, motioned out once

and monty was back there 2 or 3 times

stick to doing what we do best and what lit them up on the first drive

The point has always been to force the D not to substitute.

[pbmax]

Punting clinic so far. Mastery won though.

[ThunderDan]

Both punters with a shank now.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Time to get Lacy going.....

[red]

OMG

someone elses ST fucked up worse then ours?

games not over red, keep the faith

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think Packers need to get some receivers downfield.

[pbmax]

Hayward shot the gap and missed the tackle.

Was that Casey, thought I saw 37 on jersey, but that was after the play.

[esoxx]

Torrey Smith can't hide his disgust over SmallkaperDick's errant throws.

[Guiness]

So did Aikman just show up? Seemed like a lot of dead air before just now which is the first time I think I heard his voice.

[red]

So did Aikman just show up? Seemed like a lot of dead air before just now which is the first time I think I heard his voice.

just a mental block

i'm calling the game in my head, its awesome

[ThunderDan]

Was that Casey, thought I saw 37 on jersey, but that was after the play.

Sam actual made the tackle after Hayward missed.

[red]

wow, bad throw

[esoxx]

Was that on Rodgers or Rodgers?

[red]

janis should have been called there for being an idiot

[ThunderDan]

Arod with the bad throw. Is Kap rubbing off on ARod?

[pbmax]

Raji just blew up his guy, stuffed the gap and made the tackle on the cut back. Best play of year.

[esoxx]

Raj just blew up his guy, stuffed the gap and made the tackle on the cut back. Best play of year.

Yup

[ThunderDan]

Raji all over the field. He made that tackle 4 yards down the field on the other side of the center.

[Packgator]

I think Packers need to get some receivers downfield.

That's going to be said all year.

[pbmax]

Harlan, did you see Peppers and Jones being fast enough to close on Kap when he ran from Matthews up the middle?

That's what we were talking about in the other thread.

[ThunderDan]

Block in the back.

[red]

go forward hyde

when the punter outkicks his coverage like that, don't stutter step and run sideways

and 2 penalties on top of the bonehead return.

yeah, we're way better on st this year :roll:

[esoxx]

You can't stop the Packers defense, you can only hope to contain it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Hyde should never try and run wide of the coverage. He is a straight-ahead, 6 yards and a cloud of dust guy.

[pbmax]

Andrew Luck gave up too much beard this offseason.

[red]

FUCK DRAFT KINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Packgator]

They said 49ers TE couldn't catch in college and has had same problem his first "3 years" in the league. How is he in the NFL? I'd think being able to catch would be kind of important.

[pbmax]

Starks GO RIGHT!!

[red]

umm, did starks just miss a massive hole to the left?

[Packgator]

Bad spot on jones catch?

[Harlan Huckleby]

shitty spot

[ThunderDan]

Horrible spot. That was a first down.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

How do you blow 3rd and inches!

[red]

3rd and 1, NOW we call the deep ball

unfucking real

[esoxx]

Horrible call.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Monty caught it

[red]

watching special teams today is like watching the special olympics

[pbmax]

ST isn't completely fixed, but coverage units are now officially fun to watch. Janis was steaming past his blocker. Someone else drove the blocker into rugby guy.

[ThunderDan]

Wow, ST have been awful for both teams so far.

[Rutnstrut]

Are we sure stubby isn't calling the plays?

[gbgary]

why didn't they challenge that spot or that catches? both looked good.

[Joemailman]

watching special teams today is like watching the special olympics

I told you Zook would be special.

[pbmax]

umm, did starks just miss a massive hole to the left?

I meant his LEFT. My right.

:oops:

[esoxx]

Monty did catch it.

[Packgator]

Monty caught it

Reply looked like good catch.

Bad spot. Bad call on the no catch. Don't recover the punt muff.

[red]

keep in mind gang, this is a team thats given up 90 points in the last TWO WEEKS

[pbmax]

Holding on Matthews guy

[Rutnstrut]

why didn't they challenge that spot or that catches? both looked good.

Stubby is saving challenges for one that clearly is not close.

[ThunderDan]

Mathews was mugged.

[red]

why didn't they challenge that spot or that catches? both looked good.

because we can't be wasting timeouts, we need those for later when the play clock is running down

[Harlan Huckleby]

nice contain

[red]

good job D

it seems very easy to confuse us

[Packgator]

Hyde was a good RB at Ohio State. He's good in the NFL too.

[ThunderDan]

Hayward lost contain.

[esoxx]

Mike Neal looking like Eric Waldon out there.

[red]

SPY, its CALLED A FUCKING QB SPY

USE ONE for fucks sake

[pbmax]

That read option D was much better. Second one that was good.

[ThunderDan]

Randall the ankle biter putting the RB down.

[red]

my god

pathetic

[pbmax]

Guion 3 inches from sack.

[pbmax]

PERRY!!! BULL RUSH!

[esoxx]

Who's 53?

[ThunderDan]

Where y with a timely sack.

[pbmax]

PERRY!!! BULL RUSH!

Wrong, Staley thought bull rush and got whipped wide.

[George Cumby]

perry

[Guiness]

Jay-Rone!

[red]

all the man does is make big plays

[ThunderDan]

Two sacks in a row.

[pbmax]

ELLIOT!!! Way to rise up D.

[George Cumby]

Woot!

[ThunderDan]

Fumble, packer ball.

[George Cumby]

FuckDoggle!

[Packgator]

Big back to back sacks.

[pbmax]

All the Fuckdoggles just made plays.

[Harlan Huckleby]

3 pts a victory

[red]

of course san fransico would have something that blows when they score

[George Cumby]

The FuckDoggle will be hotly contested today, apparently.

[Packgator]

Packers need to finish the half off with a solid drive and score.

[ThunderDan]

Man that ball was in between the TEs legs and four Packers couldn't get it.

[pbmax]

Denver is shutting out Ras' boys.

[Rutnstrut]

of course san fransico would have something that blows when they score

They probably suck on it to make noise;)

[ThunderDan]

A ton of empty seats again in that shot of the stAnds.

[Joemailman]

Defense has given up 3. Offense needs to get in gear. Doesn't seem to be much rhythm to the passing game so far.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Kickoffs are already a tedious play. Why insert more commercials after the KO to rub it in?

[Harlan Huckleby]

send a receiver downfield! The WEst Coast Offense is working OK, but need to open up

[George Cumby]

A ton of empty seats again in that shot of the stAnds.

Kicking myself for not going.

[Packgator]

Left handed completion!!

[pbmax]

Lacy too often tries to juke as he is getting hit and doesn't get extra yards. Starks always leans in for 2 more.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Janis sighting

[Packgator]

Big 1st down there.

[pbmax]

Nice catch run and block by Jones and Cobb.

[ThunderDan]

Great block down field by Cobb.

[Rutnstrut]

89 looks damn good for a reject.

[ThunderDan]

Packers up 8-3 now. I guess we got a point for the completion.

[Packgator]

Great block down field by Cobb.

Jones set up the blocker as well.

[pbmax]

Pathetic.

[Harlan Huckleby]

not Lacy's fault there

[Packgator]

Will they go on 4th or punt?

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Have to go for it.

[Guiness]

Go for it

[ThunderDan]

I think you go for it here on fourth down.

[esoxx]

Let's see if Stubby finds his nut sack with this call.

[Joemailman]

Offensive line getting pushed around so far.

[Packgator]

Don't make it....the whole game can change. I think they punt. But I want them to go for it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Let's see if Stubby finds his nut sack with this call.

Can't kick a FG. A punt risks a mere 20 yard shift in field position. Doesn't take much testes to go for it here.

[pbmax]

Offensive line getting pushed around so far.

Yeah, you wouldn't know that the 49er D lost a bunch of talent from the results so far.

[Packgator]

Rodgers draws them offsides?

[Rutnstrut]

Offensive line getting pushed around so far.

Pushed around would be an improvement, they are getting blown out.

[Packgator]

Nice!!

[pbmax]

Nice pick of hole by Eddie.

[esoxx]

Yes! Stubby proves he has some sack.

[ThunderDan]

Great catch by Monty.

[Harlan Huckleby]

so close

[ThunderDan]

Cobb tackled.

[Packgator]

They can just drill Cobb like that in the middle of a pass route?

[esoxx]

Another bad fucking spot!

[pbmax]

They can just drill Cobb like that in the middle of a pass route?

Depends on depth.

[ThunderDan]

Another horrible spot. That's a first.

[Iron Mike]

Is Rodgers just yelling "ready, go?"

[Harlan Huckleby]

The spot was right

[pbmax]

Is Rodgers just yelling "ready, go?"

Stop giving away the signals.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Give it to Lacy one more time

[Harlan Huckleby]

or throw in endzone ala bart starr

[esoxx]

QB sneak please.

[pbmax]

Cobb hurt.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Why are they going for it?
