Official Game Day Thread: Vikings versus Packers Week 11

[pbmax]

Did anyone see that Viking pre snap?

[red]

Two players in the backfield when Lacy gets the handoff.

run blitz, or the usual piss poor o-line play?

[pbmax]

WOOO HOOO!

[Maxie the Taxi]

That's vintage Arod.

[red]

WOW

there we go

great great catch

[ThunderDan]

Nice, throw and catch.

[pittstang5]

No Way!!

[ThunderDan]

WOW

there we go

great great catch

Glad we didn't just throw to the end zone.

[pbmax]

Lovely!!!

[red]

nice

much better

[pittstang5]

YES!!!

[yetisnowman]

That's what I'm fucking talking about aaron!

[red]

Glad we didn't just throw to the end zone.

that was set up by the 2 runs before it

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Wow, Jones redeeming himself on that series...

[pbmax]

Broadcast from Wilde's basement. :)

[Rastak]

Damn, you guys are rising up and playing well.

[ThunderDan]

Just stop the relax from last year crap.

[gbgary]

Great throw and especially great catch for the td.

HUGE!

[pittstang5]

WHY!!! WHY!!!! WHY!!!!

Defense or Special teams will always fuck us!!

[ThunderDan]

15 yards on the Vikes to end it.

[pbmax]

He head butted Crosby and got called.

[red]

good grief

can't have all 3 aspects of the game working at the same time, can we?

one group always has to shit the bed

[red]

way to pick on the smallest guy on the field tough guy

[Rastak]

He really drilled him...NOT

[denverYooper]

Isn't that the deal with Jones, though? He can't make easy catches, only hard ones.

[pittstang5]

Cmon DEFENSE!!!!

[Guiness]

MM with the celebratory jump? Didn't think he could elevate!

Is MM maybe calling the plays today? He's wearing the mike.

[pbmax]

Dammit! Who missed Bridge that time? Raji? Dammit.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Raji runs right by him.

[red]

now we get to see that prevent defense that we haven't seen in a month

i've missed it

[pbmax]

Alright, blitz off the edge. HAYWARD!!

[gbgary]

somebody cover the big, slow, te.

[Rastak]

Grounding.

[pbmax]

I think there was a TE there.

[pittstang5]

CMON REFS

[ThunderDan]

Ankle biter just missed the INT.

[red]

come on raji, dive for that shit, take it the other way

[SMBASS]

How in the hell is that not grounding?

[red]

should have been grounding

[pbmax]

I am not going to argue that grounding. TE was closer than a lot of throws OOB.

[Maxie the Taxi]

should have been groundingTroy said ellison was in proximity.

[red]

Ankle biter just missed the INT.

did he slip?

[ThunderDan]

That should be a grounding. I understand it shouldn't be called but Bridgewater was just throwing it away.

[pbmax]

Another crossing route.

[pittstang5]

Google search "Shitting the Bed on 3rd and long and you'll see the Packers Defense.

[red]

Troy said ellison was in proximity.

yeah, he was a foot in front of teddy, and the ball went 10 yards down field

[Guiness]

lol, is even possible to get an intentional grounding penalty anymore?

[SMBASS]

Fuck...give up another 3rd and long.

[pbmax]

FUMBLE AND SHIELDS!!

Thought Raji was going to crush it.

[red]

THERE WE GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nice job child beater

[ThunderDan]

Take that Purple Jesus.

[SMBASS]

Yes! Nice...we were overdue to create a turnover!

[pbmax]

Shields really hustling this game. He is dialed in.

[denverYooper]

#Fumbleluck

[King Friday]

Way to go Barnett.

[red]

i hate this ad?

fucking texans nerd

who's he yelling "in your face", to?

he's all alone with all his friends

[Maxie the Taxi]

yeah, he was a foot in front of teddy, and the ball went 10 yards down fieldBut Troy is an expert color man. How can you doubt his word? Show him some respect.:-)

[Rastak]

Take that Purple Jesus.

He's doing that alot lately.

[pittstang5]

CMON OFFENSE!!!

[red]

But Troy is an expert color man. How can you doubt his word? Show him some respect.:-)

troy's got about as many brain cells left as a pile of my dogs shit

[King Friday]

This is where Lacy takes the air out of the Viking defense.

[pittstang5]

Pound it! Cmon Offense!

[pbmax]

Kuhn should get credit for those last two yards.

[gbgary]

Need more points.

[ThunderDan]

Packer starting to push the pile.

[red]

so, does tretter keep the job?

[Maxie the Taxi]

Buck: "Lacy is closing in on an 80 yd day."

[pbmax]

Eddie Eddie chant.

[pittstang5]

Dumb play....burn clock!!!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

A target for JJ.

[ThunderDan]

First time play action go long his worked this year even if incomplete.

[denverYooper]

Janis had a step.

[red]

nice run

[King Friday]

so, does tretter keep the job?

No...he hasn't really looked all that great...we are lucky Minny lost a guy up front on their DL.

[gbgary]

Go Eddy Go!

[pittstang5]

here comes the 3rd and 1 pitch to the outside with them losing 3 yards

[red]

First time play action go long his worked this year even if incomplete.

at least it gives the defense something to think about

i wish we would do it more earlier in the game

[pbmax]

U79 FAILS.

[red]

that wasn't so good

[pittstang5]

predictable

[Maxie the Taxi]

I would have run a screen there.

[red]

even mastay isn't sucking today

maybe we just got out of the funk

[King Friday]

Tretter is always blown about 5 yards into the backfield on every run.

[ThunderDan]

Kuhn thought Walker missed his block and peel outside allowing the ILB to shoot through.

[pbmax]

I would have run a screen there.

As hard to understand as this is, they seem to trust Starks more than Lacy right now with screens.

[gbgary]

play action guys...play action. dammit

[KalamazooPackerFan]

If Eddy kept running he'd run that guy over at least enough to get a yard. Who's the RB coach?

[Maxie the Taxi]

As hard to understand as this is, they seem to trust Starks more than Lacy right now with screens.Exactly why they should run it.

[pbmax]

Tretter is always blown about 5 yards into the backfield on every run.

But he doesn't let go.

It also hasn't been every time. But his cadence and snaps have been a bit of an adventure.

[pbmax]

Hayward just because you got a QB hit doesn't mean you can whiff a WR hit.

[pbmax]

DANIELS!

[red]

daniels gets a sack with one arm

=beast

[Fosco33]

Reporter, "mr Clements - tell us your strategy on 3rd and 1?"

Tom "err, well, we figured we could fall forward for 3 feet about half the time - so we kept calling pretty much the same call."

"But they stopped it most of the time!"

"Oh. Well. We'll get that fixed."

[pbmax]

JONES off PEPPERS flush.

[red]

datone, again

[Rastak]

You guys have played good defense the last few games and stepped it up even more today.

[red]

Reporter, "mr Clements - tell us your strategy on 3rd and 1?"

Tom "err, well, we figured we could fall forward for 3 feet about half the time - so we kept calling pretty much the same call."

"But they stopped it most of the time!"

"Oh. Well. We'll get that fixed."

pad level was too high

[yetisnowman]

Datone very lucky he didn't get flagged there

[King Friday]

Well, at least the coaches don't have to answer any questions about the lack of sacks after this game.

[gbgary]

the D was huge on that series.

[ThunderDan]

Alright O, let's seal the deal. 5 minute drive and points.

[red]

But he doesn't let go.

It also hasn't been every time. But his cadence and snaps have been a bit of an adventure.

and with him in there, the running game and pass protection sure seem to be better then they've been lately

[SMBASS]

Great job D! Datone should have been flagged for spiking the ball. Vikes didn't get flagged for removing a helmet on the field earlier so I guess it's even. Great play by him but he has to know better than that.

[Maxie the Taxi]

As I said during the 1st game, pressure on the QB will win games more often than not.

[gbgary]

now let's concentrate on first downs please.

[King Friday]

Datone very lucky he didn't get flagged there

Refs really don't want to throw the laundry on the secondary stuff today that does not involve contact.

[pbmax]

You guys have played good defense the last few games and stepped it up even more today.

So last week versus Lions not a fluke I guess.

[ThunderDan]

Holding Bacteria.

[Maxie the Taxi]

U75

[gbgary]

geesh

[Maxie the Taxi]

Good punt.

[SMBASS]

Offense looking normal again these last couple of series...

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Not a good time for that short series...

[red]

so, is peyton so inbred that he has to speak in rhymes like that all the time?

[ThunderDan]

That was either an illegal block out of bounds on the Vikes or not trying to get back on to the field as quickly as possible on the Pack. Pack gunner 7 yards out of bounds running down the field on coverage.

[Rastak]

Most points the Vikings have given up all year.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Offense looking normal again these last couple of series...There in our prevent offense.

[pbmax]

Love that zone.

[Rastak]

That was either an illegal block out of bounds on the Vikes or not trying to get back on to the field as quickly as possible on the Pack. Pack gunner 7 yards out of bounds running down the field on coverage.


They'd need about 5 more makeup calls to even it out.

[SMBASS]

It would be a good time for that 2nd turnover about now.

[ThunderDan]

Thought that was going to be an INT.

[KYPack]

I think Tretter keeps the gig.

He hangs in there and the other guy was in a slump.

Great to Sammy Shields back in there, BTW

[pbmax]

I hate that the Packers never disguise a blitz.

[red]

yikes

randall was getting burned pretty bad there

[Rastak]

5th time this year he's behind the defense.......Teddy never hits him

[ThunderDan]

How is there not safety help there

[red]

I think Tretter keeps the gig.

He hangs in there and the other guy was in a slump.

Great to Sammy Shields back in there, BTW

linsey won the job due to injury, why shouldn't tretter win it back due to injury?

[pbmax]

Jones having a career today.

[red]

datone having the first big game of his career

[pbmax]

How is there not safety help there

2 man blitz. Why is another question.

Great pressure for the Pack there. All were in position.

[ThunderDan]

There is your dagger.

[Maxie the Taxi]

A lot of Packer fans in the house. GO PACK!

[red]

DAGGER?

[SMBASS]

Great job again D! Now get a couple of 1st downs offense.

[Guiness]

Datone showing up in the Vike's backfield a lot

[Maxie the Taxi]

Great job again D! Now get a couple of 1st downs offense.I'd settle for one.

[pbmax]

Tretter looks just like Flanagan.

[Maxie the Taxi]

No field goal attempt here. Let Masthy do his thing.

[red]

now that one might have been on cobb

[pbmax]

Jones and Rodgers have it figured out today.

Cobb and Rodgers still reading different books.

[SMBASS]

Good grief Cobb.

[red]

wow

money mase is back

[pittstang5]

Shit the Bed

[pbmax]

Money!

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Cobb sucks...Crosby is money...

[Rastak]

Adios, good game boys.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I still say punt it.

[ThunderDan]

Snakes you wonder what happened last week with that kick even more.

[red]

only fox would make a show where the devil was the hero of the show

[pbmax]

I still say punt it.

Yeah, not sure that was the best bet.

[SMBASS]

Sure glad Mase brought his A game today.

[red]

Snakes you wonder what happened last week with that kick even more.

i still say mastay blocked it

[pbmax]

Is that Pruitt related to any other football Pruitts?

[red]

Adios, good game boys.

later ras, good having you in here

[ThunderDan]

Rollins in.

[red]

he made perry look like a chump on that play

[red]

Rollins in.

bout time

[pbmax]

Nice hit and catch.

[red]

DAMN!!!

[ThunderDan]

Ha Ha laid the wood there.

[SMBASS]

Let's go D. No garbage points.

[pbmax]

Adios, good game boys.

Good to see you Ras, good luck.

[Maxie the Taxi]

i still say mastay blocked itBoth Masthay and Crosby said there was a hole in the field where the ball was to be placed, but they didn't move because they didn't think it would affect the kick.

[red]

nice play by hayward

[pittstang5]

Need a turnover

[gbgary]

losing streak is over. back in 1st where they belong.

[Packgator]

Packers move back into 1st place in the North

[red]

Both Masthay and Crosby said there was a hole in the field where the ball was to be placed, but they didn't move because they didn't think it would affect the kick.

and both said that the hole made crosby hit the ground before the ball

video evidence proves that that is a flat out lie

[pbmax]

Damn. Should have rooted for Cards to lose to the Seachickens.

[SMBASS]

Nice job D. Glad they didn't give up the garbage TD.

[Maxie the Taxi]

and both said that the hole made crosby hit the ground before the ball

video evidence proves that that is a flat out lieI never saw Crosby hit a duck like that before unless someone got a hand on it. Ever.

[pittstang5]

smart move Lacy

[red]

I never saw Crosby hit a duck like that before unless someone got a hand on it. Ever.

yeah, mastay got his hand on it

[ThunderDan]

Damn. Should have rooted for Cards to lose to the Seachickens.

We play them later in the season. That will determine the 2nd seed.

[red]

smart move Lacy

only saved about 4 seconds though

would it have been better to get the 1st?

[pbmax]

U79 and KUHN!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

I'd go up top to Janis right now.

[red]

I'd go up top to Janis right now.

yeah, lets piss right in karmas face

[ThunderDan]

That's all she wrote. 30-13 Pack.

[pittstang5]

Good Win! Packers needed it

[Maxie the Taxi]

I like Stubby's stubble.

[red]

Huge win

a-rod still looks off, but the defense and running games got their shit together

and mason is a golden footed god

[ThunderDan]

Bears up in Lambeau on my birthday. Can't Wait!

[Maxie the Taxi]

I think a Packer Rat predicted this score pretty near dead on. Can't remember who.

[SMBASS]

Really needed that one. Excellent win on the road to take control of the division again and stop the bleeding for awhile.

[pbmax]

Still can't win close games on the road by coming from behind.

UNSOUND!

[Freak Out]

Impressive victory.

[red]

I think a Packer Rat predicted this score pretty near dead on. Can't remember who.

probably me

[Fritz]

probably me


Yeah, it was you, except you had Minny with the 30.

[Maxie the Taxi]

It was DenverYooper...
Pack's going to win. 38-17.

[red]

same thing

[esoxx]

Whoever dreaded this game is a pussy. Suck it up buttercup.

[mraynrand]

I think a Packer Rat predicted this score pretty near dead on. Can't remember who.

Wasn't me thank God

[mraynrand]

and both said that the hole made crosby hit the ground before the ball

video evidence proves that that is a flat out lie

Crosby topped the ball. Plain and simple. Could come back to bite em for that second seed.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Wasn't me thank GodNo it wasn't, Rand. You got alotta splainin to do. LOL

[red]

Crosby topped the ball. Plain and simple. Could come back to bite em for that second seed.

how does he top it when the video clearly shows him hitting the ball below the midpoint?

also if he would have topped it the ball would have gone down, not up

[mraynrand]

how does he top it when the video clearly shows him hitting the ball below the midpoint?

I'm not going to split hairs, but his foot was very high on the ball - just compare it to his other kicks.

But I agree there was no turf monster not tip/touch/deflection from Masthay or anybody/anything else. It was all on Crosby.

[Pugger]

Whoever dreaded this game is a pussy. Suck it up buttercup.

<--- Guilty as charged. :oops:

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

I think a Packer Rat predicted this score pretty near dead on. Can't remember who.

It was me, I predicted pack 24 - 17, just a tad closer then denveryooper, plus I started the fucking game day thread.

What do I win?

[Maxie the Taxi]

It was me, I predicted pack 24 - 17, just a tad closer then denveryooper, plus I started the fucking game day thread.

What do I win?Congratulations, old wise one! You win a chance to do it all over again next game! Don't let us down.

[denverYooper]

It was DenverYooper...

That was a desperation move. I thought it would come about by the offense getting back on the same page. Instead, it was mostly Lacy keeping drives somewhat coherent mixed in with some big plays to Janis and Jones along with a solid defensive game.

Special teams helped a lot, too. The Packers had better field position most of the day. Those hidden yards help immensely.

[Fritz]

The key, as always in football, is with the lines. Both lines - offensive and defensive - played much better this week. If both play well Thursday, the offense will continue to improve and the defense will force Cutler into playing like Cutler.

[Maxie the Taxi]

[QUOTE=denverYooper;858415]That was a desperation move. I thought it would come about by the offense getting back on the same page. Instead, it was mostly Lacy keeping drives somewhat coherent mixed in with some big plays to Janis and Jones along with a solid defensive game.

Field position was huge.

If Stubby takes any lessons away from this game, I hope its that having Janis stretch the field is a good move. I also thought Datrone Jones had a monster game. I'd like him to play most of the game Thursday.

Yeah, I agree. While you can keep Hyde or Cobb for safety catches, no reason Janis doesn't return every other kickoff for the rest of the season. Seeing him accelerate past the coverage was frankly amazing. I think he got yelled at after return attempt two, which perhaps should not have come out, because he went down fast on kickoff return #3. :)
