The OFFICIAL Packers-Panthers Game Thread

[Bossman641]

Time to try my hand at this.

The offense breaks out of their month long slump and Lacy starts the beginning of having a big second half of the year.

Olsen continues the streak of TE's murdering the defense but Carolina WR are pedestrian, even with Shields out.

Pack take it 30-20

[denverYooper]

I like it. I do think we'll see a more focused offense this week. They've got a lot to prove now.

[pbmax]

First half as we have seen previously, first drive is a winner and scores; then lethargy and the no huddle settle in. Close game with deficit at halftime.

Second half, Rodgers wins the argument and they open the taps on a bigger variety offense. Its still not a downfield offense and Janis doesn't figure prominently, but its enough for two more scores.

24-20 Pack.

[denverYooper]

Meanwhile, in current memetics, the idea is being circulated that the Packers offense is suffering because it is too simple.

Just like every year until the adjustment.

[pbmax]

No Shields, Rollins or Monty.

i don't like it, i'm expecting us to give up another shitload of yards today

we are once again one of the worst teams in the nfl against the run (26th), they are the best running team in the nfl

they got a QB who can run, we are a team that can't keep contain

they have a top 10 defense, we suck on offense

i think we lose again, hopefully not another ugly loss

[channtheman]

Pack win big in a game that sends the Panthers into a downward spiral of mediocrity the remainder of the season. The Panthers disband as a professional team with 2 weeks left in the regular season and Cam Newton joins the Youth Girls Flag Football team of America coached by Michael Sam.

Pack 73.5
Panthers -2

[smuggler]

Packers 23 Panthers 16

[esoxx]

I took under 46 on the game.

Pack wins 24-19

[pbmax]

I am not worried about a one dimensional running team running against the Packers. They will load up against that. I am worried about the base D versus Olsen and Newton against the edge.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[ThunderDan]

Let's go Pack!

[ThunderDan]

Crosby slipped on the kick.

[ThunderDan]

Got to contain Newton on the pass.

[ThunderDan]

Great one handed catch.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

D already looking lost. Dammit.

[channtheman]

Great contain on Newton so far.

[ThunderDan]

Peppers will a good play there.

[ThunderDan]

Well as good as Carolina looked there, all the get is 3.

[channtheman]

Nice stop in the redzone. It's gonna be a long day though if Carolina continues to move down the field like that.

[gbgary]

only 3.

time to get 7!

[ThunderDan]

Stadium isn't even full yet.

[red]

dickrod with a gain of one

slowest offensive player in the nfl

[ThunderDan]

Using a huddle to start the game on O.

[ThunderDan]

Got it at least throw it out of bounds.

[red]

FFS

doesn't look like addressed any of their problems this week

[red]

LOL

gotta love ST

[esoxx]

dickrod with a gain of one

slowest offensive player in the nfl

59 year old Roman Harper was in his hip pocket.

[gbgary]

horrible start on both sides of the ball.

[smuggler]

Nobody open.

[ThunderDan]

Good, 53 yard punt net of 63 with the penalty and erases the good return.

[Tony Oday]

This team is pathetic. AR throw the Damn ball, let your WR fight for a ball. Only runs up the gut no stretch plays and defense spy Cam.

[smuggler]

I'll reiterate. Nobody open. No sense throwing a pick on the first drive just because you're frustrated.

[TravisWilliams23]

R-E-L-A-X!

[Patler]

Nobody open.

Sometimes you have to let guys try to make a play. He had a couple guys with a half step.

[red]

Good, 53 yard punt net of 63 with the penalty and erases the good return.

and 1 injured punter

[ThunderDan]

Good pressure by Daniels.

[ThunderDan]

He lust got has sack hit.

[red]

thanks cam

[ThunderDan]

Love a QB who can't throw a 7 yard cross. Thanks Cam.

[ThunderDan]

Great return by Hyde.

[channtheman]

Okay, defense and ST did decent for once. Can the offense follow suit?

[red]

come on O, get your fucking heads out of your asses

LETS GO

[channtheman]

Love a QB who can't throw a 7 yard cross. Thanks Cam.

This too.

[Tony Oday]

Hell don't rush Cam just go coverage with a spy, he can't win with his arm.

[ThunderDan]

and 1 injured punter

He just got his sack hit. He'll be back.

[esoxx]

He lust got has sack hit.

TD, are you speaking in tongues?

[red]

Love a QB who can't throw a 7 yard cross. Thanks Cam.

at least he can get the ball out of his hands

[smuggler]

Sometimes you have to let guys try to make a play. He had a couple guys with a half step.

In general, I don't disagree. Not on the first drive, though.

[red]

He just got his sack hit. He'll be back.

thats IR baby

you know the old song the packers use.

the sack bones connected to the hamstring bone
the shoulder bones connected to the, hamstring bone

the backbones connected to the hamstring bone
the hand bones connected to the hamstring bone

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Ripper!

[ThunderDan]

TD, are you speaking in tongues?

My autocorrect is on hyper mode during Packer games.

[channtheman]

Might be the first called roll out all season. Wondering why we didn't do stuff like that sooner since the OL blocking is terrible.

[red]

In general, I don't disagree. Not on the first drive, though.

probalem is, he never does it, no matter what the drive

nice physical catch and run by rip. set the tone

[channtheman]

Rodgers is so bad at getting the snap off. At least twice a game that guy can't snap it soon enough. Usually he burns timeouts though.

[esoxx]

Hell don't rush Cam just go coverage with a spy, he can't win with his arm.

They put up a graphic on a pregame show that revealed Cam's passing stats on the year are comparable to Krapperdick's. One QB is benched, the other in discussion for MVP.

Go figure.

[red]

SNAP THE FUCKING BALL

its absolutely ridiculous that we get to the line so fast and are still always running out of time

[ThunderDan]

Rodgers had all day again. O line holding up.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Arod threw Adams open that time!!!!!!!!!

[red]

good grab adams

[ThunderDan]

Great catch Adams.

[red]

Rodgers had all day again. O line holding up.

LOL

[channtheman]

Great catch Adams.

It was actually a terrible catch, but I know what you mean.

[ThunderDan]

Starks is so good at the zone run.

[channtheman]

Starks is looking really good. So fast right now.

[ThunderDan]

Great run Starkplug.

[channtheman]

He's going to fumble though carrying the ball like that.

[red]

lacy inside

starks outside

its really not that hard to figure that out

the 2 are not interchangeable

and i would just keep playing starks at this point

[ThunderDan]

Rich Rod fighting for the ball in the end zone after the non fumble.

[channtheman]

DICK ROD!

[gbgary]

nice!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Arod throws DickRod open!!!!

[red]

much better

arod threw to guys that weren't wide open that drive, finally

and they were getting him out of the pocket for a change

[ThunderDan]

Rich Rod, the most hated TE in the NFL, with a great box out and TD catch.

[smuggler]

Jones beat Norman on the slant on the touchdown, but the rollout was to the right.

[Maxie the Taxi]

much better

arod threw to guys that weren't wide open that drive, finally

and they were getting him out of the pocket for a changeI like that roll out action.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Charlotte is notorious for not making a lot of crowd noise. Especially if you get them down early. I hear the Packer fans whooping it up.

[pbmax]

PERRY!!!

[ThunderDan]

Perry will a great job not losing contain.

[smuggler]

Fucking glorious play by Perry. Best play I have seen from him.

[ThunderDan]

Burnett sighting this week.

[red]

you have to cover people

you HAVE to

[channtheman]

lolololol. Uh, we just forgot to cover him!

[pbmax]

Hole in zone.

[ThunderDan]

How do you play 8 in coverage and loss a guy in the middle of the field?

[red]

god damnit

defense on their heels now

[Maxie the Taxi]

Wasn't 2nd and 22 after Perry's play?

[gbgary]

that was ridiculous.

[red]

How do you play 8 in coverage and loss a guy in the middle of the field?

and he wasn't just a little open, he was like 15 yards open, at least

[pbmax]

How do you play 8 in coverage and loss a guy in the middle of the field?

They'll get that fixed. :lol:

[pbmax]

The inability to end drives on 3rd down is as maddening as any 4 minute offense problems.

[red]

Wasn't 2nd and 22 after Perry's play?
yeah, it was

and then it was 3rd and 16

[Patler]

So far in this game, Newton has had his longest run of the season and his longest completed pass of the season. In just a bit over a quarter.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Just got in. Anyone know who inactives are today for Pack?

[red]

The inability to end drives on 3rd down is as maddening as any 4 minute offense problems.

is it just me, or are we worse covering 3rd and long this year then we are 3rd and short?

or do we equally suck at both?

[channtheman]

So far in this game, Newton has had his longest run of the season and his longest completed pass of the season. In just a bit over a quarter.

More of the same. We are in the business of making people look good.

[red]

Just got in. Anyone know who inactives are today for Pack?

is he the problem?

[pbmax]

Weak call.

[ThunderDan]

Holding erases a good run by Lacy.

[Maxie the Taxi]

pb had them on page 1

Thanks. I can't figure the Mulumba inactive stuff.

[ThunderDan]

Weak call.

My thought also.

[pbmax]

That was just giving up.

[red]

LOL

second and 18

m3- "this is a great time to catch them with a draw"

[red]

weak answer on offense

[ThunderDan]

Big block in the back.

[red]

lol, peppers, what a dick move.

i would have punted it out of the stadium

[channtheman]

Why don't other defenses run the leave one WR wide open on 3rd and long play?

[Maxie the Taxi]

Why don't other defenses run the leave one WR wide open on 3rd and long play?

I'm just about at the point of agreeing with Wist!

[beveaux1]

Our offense can't stay on the field and the defense can't get off the field.

[Tony Oday]

See AR Cam let's his guys make a play.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Cam threw him open.

[red]

LOL

[channtheman]

Our offense can't stay on the field and the defense can't get off the field.

They're tired. /sarcasm

Also, get ready for a career day in passing yards from Newton.

[red]

Cam threw him open.

yup, the guy was nowhere near open, but cam threw it where the guy could make a play

[pbmax]

Outside of hitting the ball in the air, not sure the coverage can be better. Dix was caught watching play action.

[channtheman]

That was fast.

[pbmax]

Someone did not drop into a zone.

[ThunderDan]

Ha Ha two plays with bad coverage.

[smuggler]

Clinton-Dix looks terrible...

[Tony Oday]

We will be tied for 1st in the North this week.

[pbmax]

Cam threw him open.

He wasn't really open, but I know what you mean.

[Tony Oday]

Time to try Abby and Janis if this group of WR can't get open.

[red]

gotta cover the TE over the middle guys

we had 2 things we had to do on defense in this game

1. cover olsen, their only receiver worth a shit
2' contain cam so he doesn't run wild

doesn't look like we tried to work on either this week. and the offense doesn't look too much better

do we even work on anything during the week in practice?

[Maxie the Taxi]

Joe Buck: "The Panthers are a team to be reckoned with."

Maxie the Taxi: "Yeah, if your defense plays like warm crap."

[pittstang5]

Wow have the mighty have fallen. Packers look like ass

[beveaux1]

I just don't understand letting their best (only) receiver have a free release that close too the end zone.

[red]

Time to try Abby and Janis if this group of WR can't get open.

and make your fucking QB throw to them, no matter what he thinks about it

can't be any worse

[pbmax]

Top 5 O line right there Bob.

[Tony Oday]

At least he tried the deep ball.

[red]

good idea

[Harlan Huckleby]

janis woulda had it

[red]

Top 5 O line right there Bob.

sure he didn't mean bottom 5?

[Maxie the Taxi]

sniff...sniff...sniff

[Guiness]

Ha Ha two plays with bad coverage.

Sure, we'll go with bad. Atrocious, ridiculous, stupid are other adjectives that come to mind. WTF is the point of being 5 yards into the endzone when, you know, as soon as you get into the endzone the play is over?

[red]

there is something there buck, a-rod has to make a fucking play for a change

[channtheman]

He wasn't really open, but I know what you mean.


Not sure if this is a dig at my criticism of Davonte Adams catch or not but rewatch it if you can. He bobbled it and nearly dropped it. It could just as easily been plucked off his body by the defender for an INT or hit the ground for an incompletion. It was not a clean catch at all. The result was good, the catch was not.

[red]

our ball? did it touch that guy?

[Guiness]

Rodgers looks off again today

[ThunderDan]

Janis why did you jump on that.

[pbmax]

Hands to the face and hit 36 in the leg. Gunter?

[Harlan Huckleby]

janis pounces on ball to stop punt from bouncing further upfield.

[red]

special teams is awesome

[red]

janis pounces on ball to stop punt from bouncing further upfield.

he thought it hit that carolina player

[Harlan Huckleby]

maybe janis thought the ball hit a Carolina guy

[pittstang5]

special teams is awesome

The whole team is awesome!

[red]

Janis why did you jump on that.

fumble recovery

[Maxie the Taxi]

Heads up play our boy Janis!

[ThunderDan]

The D needs a stand now. Can't go down 3 scores here.

[beveaux1]

I'm not sure what I'm seeing here. This team is blowing up before our eyes.

[Maxie the Taxi]

How about a Turnover?

[pbmax]

Not sure if this is a dig at my criticism of Davonte Adams catch or not but rewatch it if you can. He bobbled it and nearly dropped it. It could just as easily been plucked off his body by the defender for an INT or hit the ground for an incompletion. It was not a clean catch at all. The result was good, the catch was not.

Did not see your comment, so it was not directed at you.

Mostly to say its a 50/50 shot to throw that ball, helped by a safety who abandoned his deep responsibilities.

Paid off in spades for them.

But the larger point is that even with 2 safeties back, the Packers cannot execute their offense as currently constructed. Deep throws don't help the Packer O right now.

[ThunderDan]

Hayward putting his head down a stopped Stewart.

[red]

everyone else seems to have good luck with crossing routes and pick routes

you'd think m3 might see enough of those to think, "hey, maybe we should try that?"

[pittstang5]

wow, i didn't think it was possible for the defense to look even worse. Receivers are Wide fuckin open.

[beveaux1]

Wide open.

[pbmax]

janis pounces on ball to stop punt from bouncing further upfield.

Actually. isn't that the free play for the returner when it hits a defender first?

I thought it was a wise play by Janis to get control.

[JohnMexico]

They can't play man, they can't play zone

[pbmax]

ANKLE BITER!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Ankle-biter saves the day!

[red]

nice play rook, thats a big dude to bring down

[ThunderDan]

Ankle biter takes done Cam one in one.

[channtheman]

Every stop we've had has relied on Newton sucking on a throw to an open WR. Sometimes I guess you'd rather be lucky than good.

[Maxie the Taxi]

If I'm at the post game presser with McCarthy, first question I ask: "What exactly did you guys work on this week?"

[channtheman]

Actually. isn't that the free play for the returner when it hits a defender first?

I thought it was a wise play by Janis to get control.

It is. He can't muff the punt if he tries to pick it up and drops it, once he has possession he can fumble as normal. Considering it looked like it hit the Panther and it was a free play for the returner otherwise, it was the better play to fall on it.

[smuggler]

Receiving corps does not look so near as good as we thought.

I have definitely underrated Jordy based on how the other guys have played this year.

[pbmax]

They can't play man, they can't play zone

Fair summary right now.

[pittstang5]

Nice block Kuhn....retard

[red]

KUUUUUUHN

[pbmax]

Bad day when even Kuhn sucks at his assignment.

[ThunderDan]

Kuhn missed the blitz pickup.

[pittstang5]

And the hits keep coming...fuck this, i got better things to do.

[channtheman]

This is pathetic. It's sad to see where we stack up to the other good teams in the league. How the heck were we favored?

[smuggler]

Time to sit Lacy. He can't return in this game.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Packers will be fine. It's just a bad game - a clunker.

[pbmax]

Tillman again.

[denverYooper]

Wheels are just absolutely coming off.

[gbgary]

pathetic.

[beveaux1]

This is a train wreck.

[red]

bench lacy

get him out of there and let him think about if he wants to be a fat lazy fuck, or a football player

starks is the much better RB at this point

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Fuck. Send Lacy to fat camp. Retire Kuhn. Fire Capers.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Fucking bad pad level!

[channtheman]

Gotta love a team doing anything they want on offense getting cute.

[red]

Packers will be fine. It's just a bad game - a clunker.

koolaide krew- " i see nothing wrong, we're only down 2 scores"

[ThunderDan]

Perry with the deflection of the pass.

[channtheman]

They were going to play with a chip on their shoulder, but Lacy ate it.

[Tony Oday]

Wow Lacy is just playing himself out of money and playing time.

[red]

this team has no fire or fight.

starts with their coach

[ThunderDan]

Cam is a bad thrower.

[Tony Oday]

Ok there is our chance! GO PACK GO!!!

[channtheman]

Lucky us.

[pbmax]

Perry with the deflection of the pass.

Crossing route defense.

[ThunderDan]

Missed FG. That is huge. Need to score here O.

[red]

i'd say "whew"

but i'm not convinced we still won't be down by 7 more by halftime

[Maxie the Taxi]

They were going to play with a chip on their shoulder, but Lacy ate it.

LOL...and it was a cow chip at that!

[pbmax]

Top 5 line Bob.

I would never talk to that scout again.

[channtheman]

LOL...and it was a cow chip at that!

Haha!

[TravisWilliams23]

They were going to play with a chip on their shoulder, but Lacy ate it.

Now that there is funny!

[pbmax]

2 D lineman beat Packer O lineman and Starks still gained 2.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Fucking bad pad level!

your new nickname

Super Maxie Pad

[channtheman]

Packer fans booing?

[esoxx]

That was fucking pathetic!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Starks screwed the pooch

[channtheman]

My goodness, we don't even try to block. This is the most putrid pathetic OL I have ever seen. We really need to just roll Rodgers out every play with the assumption that no blocking is going to occur up the middle.

[smuggler]

Team looks like shit.

[Maxie the Taxi]

your new nickname


Super Maxi Pad

I like the Super Maxie part. LOL

[Tony Oday]

Wtf is the oLine doing?!

[red]

great job guys. way to not give a fuck

[ThunderDan]

Offense is just not playing well. D makes a stop of your turnover and you can't even get a first down.

[pbmax]

Starks screwed the pooch

You can't turn their best DL over to the back to block. Something went wrong with the protection call.

Sutton expected Linsley to get him, Linsley went right instead.

[TravisWilliams23]

Time to give Tretter a shot at center?

[SMBASS]

This team is complete horseshit in every phase of the game right now. Totally lost and clueless...

[Maxie the Taxi]

This team is complete horseshit in every phase of the game right now. Totally lost and clueless...

I think the coin toss went well.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Time to give Tretter a shot at center?

no thanks

[pbmax]

Best part of game so far is a tie:

1. Randall trips up Cam on his run short of sticks.

2. Janis goes in motion on punt to escape gunner, flies down the field to down the punt.

[Tony Oday]

These last two games are an indictment against of the Coaching Staff.

[TravisWilliams23]

Big Mike should take over the play calling at half. They're gonna get ARod killed this way.

[esoxx]

What kind of horseshit punt is that?!?

[ThunderDan]

What else can go wrong?

[SMBASS]

I think the coin toss went well.

Lol Maxie! I think that's about where our luck ran out.

[red]

we've had the one good td drive.

a 4 and out (penalty gave us another try)
3- 3 and outs

and a 2 and fumble

THAT, is pathetic

[Maxie the Taxi]

What kind of horseshit punt is that?!?

Brown and disgusting.

[pbmax]

Big Mike should take over the play calling at half. They're gonna get ARod killed this way.

That wasn't the play call. That was O line or protection call screwup. They have to handle that on field.

[red]

Big Mike should take over the play calling at half. They're gonna get ARod killed this way.

big mike should be fired at halftime to send a message to the team

[channtheman]

we've had the one good td drive.

a 4 and out (penalty gave us another try)
3- 3 and outs

and a 2 and fumble

THAT, is pathetic

Wow, that is pretty damning. I can't believe it is actually that bad.

[channtheman]

"almost picked off"

Words you hear when the Packers are on defense.

[red]

Time to give Tretter a shot at center?

can't be worse

[beveaux1]

Every phase of this team has been hoorible.

[MadScientist]

Dagger?

[pbmax]

What else can go wrong?

Demitri Goodson?

[red]

i'd say "whew"

but i'm not convinced we still won't be down by 7 more by halftime

http://www.conditionforlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Nailed-It.png

[Joemailman]

Not sure when the Packers have played a worse quarter of football.

[channtheman]

We are not built to comeback, so unfortunately this game is over. Another offense will go over 500 yards on us. What will it take to fire Dom Capers?

[pbmax]

Every phase of this team has been hoorible.

Whatever you say Bill Walton! :lol:

[esoxx]

Fullhouse blitz and not even one Packer gets within same zip code of Newton. Big play will happen just about every time when that happens.

Just pathetic

[SMBASS]

Nice defense. SMFH... Think it's about time to go rake some leaves. One of the jobs I despise the most but it still has to be better than watching this clusterfuck.

[pbmax]

Goodson was beaten three times on that play.

[channtheman]

Dagger?

Sad but true. Lots of teams could manage somewhat of a comeback, just last week the Colts went to OT against these guys after being down a few scores. Not us. Game over.

[ThunderDan]

If Goodson didn't grab the WR that ball is way under thrown.

[MadScientist]

May as well put in Tolzien in the second half, just to keep AR from getting killed. Put in backups and see if any can play.

[Tony Oday]

Thank God my kid has a basketball game today and I can miss the rest of this crap effort.

[pbmax]

Slant!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

James who?

[red]

guess what packer fans?

we're on pace to give up another 500 yard game

actually, we're on pace to give up 570 yards

meanwhile, we're on pace for 160

awesome

[channtheman]

How is every defense all world on these receivers?

[gbgary]

pathetic.

[Joemailman]

Eddie Lacy has a -1.70 points for me in FF.

[pbmax]

guess what packer fans?

we're on pace to give up another 500 yard game

actually, we're on pace to give up 570 yards

meanwhile, we're on pace for 160

awesome

If its 579 we are going to need new security software.
