Official Week 1 Packers vs. Jaguars Game Day Thread

[Joemailman]

History: Packers lead all time series 3 Games to 2.

Last meeting: October 28, 2012: Packers win 24-15 despite only 238 yards of total offense. Alex Green led the Packers in rushing with 54 yards on 22 carries. James Jones caught 7 passes for 78 yards.

Today: Packers favored by 4.5. Over under is 48.

TV: Fox: Kevin Burkhardt, John Lynch, Pam Oliver.

[texaspackerbacker]

Just 4.5 point favorites? Gosh, I should get a bet down. I don't see this as a close game at all.

[Joemailman]

Sunny today in Jacksonville. 89 at game time rising to 92. Heat indexes of about 100. I'm guessing Packers will be wearing green jerseys.

[Upnorth]

Go Pack Go!

[Fritz]

Okay, Joe, get this off on the right foot. And dammit, the Captain better post!

These are the keys to today's game.

[pbmax]

It must be very warm in GB for there only to be six degrees of difference between the cities.

That sports science guy needs to be fired now.

[pbmax]

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 6h6 hours ago
#Packers OT David Bakhtiari (back), added to the injury report late Saturday, is set to play against the #Jaguars, source said. Minor scare.

Clearly, Bach is sending a message. I might not play, but probably will. I don't have a back injury no matter what the docs tell you. And I am mad about Sitton and therefore am going to stage a work slowdown by playing in the first game of the season, after practicing all week.

[Joemailman]

Could be 3rd hottest game in Packers history. http://www.packers.com/news-and-events/article-one-last-look/article-1/This-could-be-third-hottest-game-in-Packers-history/77062167-f54c-4bbc-90b2-452e24735490

Defense needs to get off the field on 3rd down. Long drives can be a killer in this weather.

This game is not going to be easy. Almost certain to be a close one. I will consider a one point victory to be a "good win".

I hadn't seen this before. Apparently, it's a legit photo of the Cowboys draft board. Some interesting things for me:

Dallas Cowboys 2016 Draft Board Rankings Leaked (http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2016/7/18/12208248/all-seven-rounds-of-dallas-cowboys-2016-draft-board-possibly-revealed?_ga=1.50993131.317194592.1472966391)

They had Carson Wentz as the #1 QB on their board.
The Cowboys had Kenny Clark #21 on their board.
They had Jason Spriggs around #63 on their board.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I heard that the Packers liked Spriggs a whole lot more than other teams did.

It's going to be interesting to hear from fans at the games to see if security has been doubled or tripled today at stadiums throughout the league for obvious reasons.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I heard that the Packers liked Spriggs a whole lot more than other teams did.

Stuff like this is just silly to me. Unless you had every team's draft board, there would be no way to verify this. Also, Spriggs was given a low 1st to early 2nd grade by most of the draft "experts".

[Joemailman]

What's the over/under on Peyton Manning commercials during the game?

[pbmax]

What's the over/under on Peyton Manning commercials during the game?

At least 12.

[Harlan Huckleby]

90 degrees, 64% humidity. Not THAT bad.

[pbmax]

C'mon Mike. Light this game up with offense. Prove me wrong.

[pbmax]

It's 69 degrees in Green Bay.

[pbmax]

Lost contain on first down run while blitz with safety

[pbmax]

Woo hoo! Joe Thomas

[gbgary]

nice

[gbgary]

up the middle boys!

[pbmax]

Well what do you know? A run on first down.

[pbmax]

Packer home game.

[wpony]

I just got home I was gong to say 34-14

[wpony]

catch u guys in while

[pbmax]

Lang at left guard?

[pbmax]

Lang at left guard?

Nope. Taylor on left. And he just missed a cutoff block.

Rodgers TD!

[gbgary]

nice

[Harlan Huckleby]

Josh who?

[Joemailman]

Joe Thomas with a good start in the Fuckdoggle Derby.

[Guiness]

Jags defended the run well on first down, Jags drop into coverage and he makes them pay with his legs. That's why he's the best QB in the league.

[Guiness]

Chris Ivory is a huge break for the Pack.

injury?

[pittstang5]

got a way with one there... sheesh

[Guiness]

PI coming up.

Um, is a non-call on PI challengeable?

lol, refs thrown the make-up flag

[pittstang5]

I like the aggressiveness...but we can't give yards away

[yetisnowman]

Burnett just let the guy catch it and tackle him for a 7 yr gain. Be smarter

[pbmax]

Randall with vet interference (no flag) but Burnett with rookie error getting caught.

[pbmax]

injury?

Illness this am.

[pittstang5]

gotta hold em here

[pbmax]

Goes as sack but Packers had 2 defenders on 3 receivers on offense right. Bottles blew that read. Should have been an easy first

[Harlan Huckleby]

Brad Nortman. Badger.

[gbgary]

good d...but unlucky with the sun on the punt.

[Guiness]

Who was it that wrapped up the RB there?

Does anyone know where I can get live play-by-play? CBS Sports seems to have gotten rid of it in their recent dumming down of their website.

[pittstang5]

oh good lord!!

[pbmax]

Same old story. Now Adams with mystery route.

[pbmax]

Packer gunner got tackled and no flag.

[Fritz]

It's frustrating not to be able to watch the game. Bears on here - no idea why Lions aren't, except maybe this is an AFC game (Indy) and it'll be on a different channel than Fox.

But why show the damn Bears here?? Show the Pack!

[Fritz]

Sounds like Jax starting in GB territory How was the hang time on Schum's punt?

[Bretsky]

Same old story. Now Adams with mystery route.

Allan Robinson would look good in Green n Gold had TWT not passed him up for the Fresno Fraud

[pittstang5]

nice tackle 24....Rollins or Randall? Good God, that was bad

[Bretsky]

Sounds like Jax starting in GB territory How was the hang time on Schum's punt?

It seemed OK but the packer gunner went to the ground

[Rutnstrut]

That asshole in the Lincoln commercials needs to die.

[pbmax]

Randall tackle fail. Ankle biter!

[pittstang5]

Gotta hold em to a FG try.

[wpony]

I thought the same thing the gunner
looked like he was getting it from behind almost but my cab!e went out so I am watching it on a website and not very
good

[pbmax]

Fritz and Guiness, Yahoo has the detailed play by play

[gbgary]

bad d formation call there. nobody on the d line. expected pass I guess.

[wpony]

What's with the spine I thought that was suppose to be good but looks like a sive

[pbmax]

Jags playing run all the way there on 2nd down

[wpony]

Has he thrown it 2 Jordy yet

[Fritz]

Thanks PB - I will try that.

[Guiness]

Ya, so cut Adams.

[Rutnstrut]

Shocked, Adams with a drop.

[pbmax]

Adams should have had that. Little underthrown though.

[Harlan Huckleby]

defender didn't come close to the ball, Adams just flat dropped it

[pittstang5]

another long pass on 3rd and short.... Ball was placed only where Adams could get it, but cmon, just get the first down

[yetisnowman]

Oh what do you know a huge pass hit davante in both hands, no catch....

[wpony]

I'm really starting to hate Adam

[TravisWilliams23]

Looks like they haven't played much during preseason. Sloppy.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Adams should have had that. Little underthrown though.

Emphasis on "little". It could be a bit longer to separate from defender, but it was there.

[Joemailman]

another long pass on 3rd and short.... Ball was placed only where Adams could get it, but cmon, just get the first down

You don't think the defense is trying to take away the short pass on 3rd and short? Adams needs to catch that.

[jklowan]

defense and offense looks like a dumpster fire so far

[pittstang5]

ugh...Jaguars taking advantage of a shitty run defense.

[Guiness]

Fritz and Guiness, Yahoo has the detailed play by play

Looks better. CBS has decided you don't need to know anything that happened more than a dozen or so plays ago. Yahoo at least has the whole game history, so far I could do without the little thumbnail pictures of the players for every play

[Harlan Huckleby]

fuck Adams

[wpony]

Claymaker looks good

[Iron Mike]

Should have cut Adams and kept Sutton...

[gbgary]

good d there. o needs to do something now.

[pittstang5]

WTF? HYDE!!! CMON!!!!

[pittstang5]

Put some sunglasses on or something.

[jklowan]

wtf with these kick-off bullshit

[gbgary]

omg...again.

[pbmax]

Defender was under Adams and Adams had to go over Amukamura to get the ball. But The Prince didn't deflect it. Not the easiest catch.

[TravisWilliams23]

Where's Cook?

[beveaux1]

We're trying to get some practice in playing offense near the goal line.

[Iron Mike]

Defender was under Adams and Adams had to go over Amukamura to get the ball. But The Prince didn't deflect it. Not the easiest catch.

Isn't that what homeboy gets paid to do, though???

[pittstang5]

getting beat by a punter so far and Rodgers throwing to ghosts

[Harlan Huckleby]

PAcker o-line has been leaky so far, especially in holding run blocks

[pittstang5]

Good God, Rodgers is way off and it's not like he's been hurried. WTH!!

[jklowan]

penalties are the only way we can get positive yards...looking terrible on both sides of the ball, may need to go for a walk

[yetisnowman]

Eddie is just as fat and slow as ever. How do the coaches not tell a fat slow rb to use his strength and drive his legs forward between the fucking tackles.

[gbgary]

the d is getting hung out to dry by the o.

[wpony]

How can anybody BN sync with Rogers not playing with them and all hardly sense last year

[gbgary]

Eddie is just as fat and slow as ever. How do the coaches not tell a fat slow rb to use his strength and drive his legs forward between the fucking tackles.

they need run up the middle.

[Harlan Huckleby]

This is really the equivalent of a preseason game. It's the first real football most of these guys have seen since playoffs.

[pbmax]

Isn't that what homeboy gets paid to do, though???

Absolutely. But it wasn't just a drop. It was catchable.

[pbmax]

Good God, Rodgers is way off and it's not like he's been hurried. WTH!!

He gophered one to Jordy. But he has been forced to move.

[Iron Mike]

Looks like someone spray painted primer on the front of J'villes helmets.

[gbgary]

field position game so far.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

field position game so far.

Maybe, but packers look pretty bad so far. Too few good plays, and mostly on defense.

[pbmax]

Liked D on 3rd and long.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Absolutely. But it wasn't just a drop. It was catchable.

I don't get your hair splitting. He got two hands on the ball. The defender was unable to make a play on the ball or shield the receiver. It was not that hard of a catch, it was a bad drop.

[MadScientist]

Well at least they shouldn't start inside their own 5 after a kickoff.

[beveaux1]

Playing so much on defense hurts us at the end of the game in this heat.

[pbmax]

Hyundai ad gets A+. :)

[Harlan Huckleby]

Playing so much on defense hurts us at the end of the game in this heat.

that 4th and 6 completion was a killer

[gbgary]

ok o... time to do something.

[pbmax]

I don't get your hair splitting. He got two hands on the ball. The defender was unable to make a play on the ball or shield the receiver. It was not that hard of a catch, it was a bad drop.

Invite a friend over. Have them throw you a lamp and see how many times you catch it out of 10 tries.

Then do same thing over a 6 drawer chest of drawers. See if your success rate is the same

[Maxie the Taxi]

Our 3rd WR riddle solved = Eddie Lacy

[gbgary]

girl doesn't know Houston plays indoors.

[pbmax]

Finally Davante.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Yeah!!!!! Devante

[Iron Mike]

Holy Shit!! Adams caught a ball???

[pbmax]

I want someone to investigate why that happens. 40 seconds in no huddle. Play not called until 8 seconds left on play clock

[MadScientist]

I thought they were supposed to have changed things from last year, but they still look sloppy on offense. Rodgers is inaccurate, receivers aren't open and they can't get a play in on time.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I want someone to investigate why that happens. 40 seconds in no huddle. Play not called until 8 seconds left on play clockJacksonville heat got to them.

[TravisWilliams23]

Where's that Cook guy they picked up in the off season?

[pbmax]

Now this is a good offense design sequence.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Invite a friend over. Have them throw you a lamp and see how many times you catch it out of 10 tries.

Then do same thing over a 6 drawer chest of drawers. See if your success rate is the samed

I will if you double dare me.

[pbmax]

WOOOOOTT!

[Guiness]

W. T. F. was that?

[Iron Mike]

Fuck off, House!!!

[gbgary]

nice!

[Harlan Huckleby]

The pack is back

[Maxie the Taxi]

For god's sake, when it's a play involving Jordy, don't say SURGICAL!!!!!!

[gbgary]

jordy was open forever.

[gbgary]

Lacy good on that drive.

[pbmax]

jordy was open forever.

Yeah, Rodgers is moving a bit much in pocket. Lotta o lineman getting pushed back.

[pbmax]

Dating Jones is lining up offside.

[gbgary]

need a 3 and out.

[pbmax]

Way to go M3. Give other offense another timeout.

[beveaux1]

That timeout thing never works for us.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Way to go M3. Give other offense another timeout.Stubby is not a conservative coach.

[TravisWilliams23]

Way to go M3. Give other offense another timeout.

At least MM's in mid-season form!

[Guiness]

Eddie is just as fat and slow as ever. How do the coaches not tell a fat slow rb to use his strength and drive his legs forward between the fucking tackles.

Want to recant that after the last drive?

[pbmax]

Stubby is not a conservative coach.

I like the idea. But unless it's a blowout wait for second down.

[pbmax]

Rollins bit on wrong route

[pbmax]

Ok. I like the ILBs so far.

[Iron Mike]

How was that NOT holding on Matthews???

[gbgary]

dammit

[Maxie the Taxi]

Who said this was going to be easy? Tex?

[pbmax]

At least the Packer TO didn't play a role in that score.

[beveaux1]

Refs are basically letting them play.

[TravisWilliams23]

How was that NOT holding on Matthews???

Also, didn't he get hit high and low at the same time?

[pittstang5]

STOP GIVING UP THE BIG PLAYS!!!!!

[Joemailman]

Rollins getting smoked today.

[pittstang5]

Thank you

[pbmax]

Cook with nice route and advertising interference.

[pbmax]

Huge play!!

[pittstang5]

HOLY SHIT!

Oh fuck, what's the flag. OH good.

[beveaux1]

Wow!!

[gbgary]

yes!

adams!

[Iron Mike]

WTF, and Adams can't catch the easy ones???

[Harlan Huckleby]

Devante Adams - my man!

[Guiness]

PI? Thought for sure that was going to be a holding call on the Oline.

[Maxie the Taxi]

The Fresno Freak!

[Iron Mike]

Go for two!!!

[Joemailman]

Fresno Fraud!

[pbmax]

Bretsky, who was it you wanted instead again?

:lol:

[Harlan Huckleby]

That was a hell of an off-balance throw by Rodgers

[MadtownPacker]

Where is the Packerrats pretender at????

[beveaux1]

Fun first half. Looks like Rodgers shook the cobwebs loose from lack of preseason play. Same with Nelson. Rollins needs to spend more time watching the receiver and less time watching the backfield.

[pbmax]

Rodgers must just love Adams effort in practice because he doesn't throw those contested balls very often to young guys.

[pbmax]

Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 10m10 minutes ago
Different personnel group for the Packers there. Adams, Abbrederis (first snap), Cook and Cobb were the receivers.

McCarthy clearly got my strongly worded letter.

#IamNotaCrackpot!

[wpony]

adams probably thought he had to catch it or go to special teams to catch the ball because you know Rogers he looses faith in you he wont throw the ball at you

[Maxie the Taxi]

Lane Taylor seemed to do quite well, but then I'm an unedecated rat.

[pbmax]

Lane Taylor seemed to do quite well, but then I'm an unedecated rat.

He missed a cutoff block early. But I have seen Lang and Tretter both blow run blocks too. So he is doing no worse than the average.

[pbmax]

Michael Cohen ‏@Michael_Cohen13 18m18 minutes ago
Rollins began the game in the slot, also known as the "star" position for the #Packers. He has since moved outside and Randall plays slot.

MOVE THEM BACK!

[gbgary]

aaaand we get the ball next.

[gbgary]

min down,
chi up.

[pbmax]

Beautiful blitz design by Jags on that Rodgers/Adams TD play. They backed one LB off, sent the safety/nickel and a corner blitz.

Tretter and Starks both picked up the middle blitzed and ignored the CB who nearly stopped the play after being unblocked.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Taylor fail that time.

[gbgary]

nice.

[gbgary]

great play.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Wasted play there.

[pittstang5]

is it me, or does Rodgers looks better under pressure than when he has time.

[pbmax]

Cobb hurt ankle.

[pittstang5]

Great...Cobb is hurt

[gbgary]

a 3 and out would be nice now from the d.

[beveaux1]

a 3 and out would be nice now from the d.

I agree.

[pittstang5]

3rd and long...blown again

[pittstang5]

need a turnover

[Maxie the Taxi]

3rd and long...blown againGunter bit.

[Iron Mike]

I need to get a Martinez jersey.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I need to get a Martinez jersey.Kid is playing well.

[pittstang5]

gotta hold here. Cmon Defense!!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Anolther great Martinez play.

[wpony]

tt needs to pick up a big fast tall receiver in the first round draftLol that's not to much to ask for is it LoL I know Ted does not draft receivers in the first but get Rogers a receiver that doesn't get hurt so often

[pittstang5]

the play clock was at zero? WTH

[beveaux1]

Run D has been solid.

[pittstang5]

Too many big plays given up by defense

[Bossman641]

Is it just me or has peppers been invisible?

[SMBASS]

Not watching the game...just curious if Clark has been playing?

[wpony]

Again the play clock was zero

[Maxie the Taxi]

Run D has been solid.Yup and that was a question mark. Hats off to DL and ILB's.

[Iron Mike]

Kid is playing well.

I still have a Hawk jersey--too bad I couldn't just get a replacement name tag..

[pittstang5]

Gunter bit.

He's bringing shame to that # 36 jersey.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Not watching the game...just curious if Clark has been playing?Yup. I think he's played well enough.

[pbmax]

Not watching the game...just curious if Clark has been playing?

Rotational only. Don't think a lot of snaps. Is been Guion and Daniels. Also have seen Ringo, Clark and Lowry I believe.

[pittstang5]

Is it just me or has peppers been invisible?

Been thinking that as well

[wpony]

I would say play clock was like minus 2

[beveaux1]

Not watching the game...just curious if Clark has been playing?

Clark has at least one tackle.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Rotational only. Don't think a lot of snaps. Is been Guion and Daniels. Also have seen Ringo, Clark and Lowry I believe.You saw Lowry!

[SMBASS]

Yup. I think he's played well enough.

Thanks for the info Maxi.

[pittstang5]

Rotational only. Don't think a lot of snaps. Is been Guion and Daniels. Also have seen Ringo, Clark and Lowry I believe.
Announcers have said a couple times Capers is rotating players alot due to the heat. I actually haven't been watching the D-line, too busy watching the secondary getting torched.

[SMBASS]

Rotational only. Don't think a lot of snaps. Is been Guion and Daniels. Also have seen Ringo, Clark and Lowry I believe.

Thanks pbmax! I was wondering with his back issues how many snaps he'd be in for today.

[pittstang5]

good lord, throw it away

[gbgary]

busted play.

[pittstang5]

oh dear....that may not be good

[pbmax]

Cobb!

[pittstang5]

at least Cobb isn't hurt

[gbgary]

wrs NEVER get called for THAT.

[wpony]

I am where Cobs is ok

[pbmax]

Abby!

[wpony]

Stupid autocorrect inserts wrong words all the time

[pittstang5]

must have been a shitty spot, i thought sure he had the first

[wpony]

Go Abby go

[pbmax]

Wasn't bobbled. Didn't get knee down.

[pbmax]

Nice run and cut by Eddie!!

[gbgary]

see...up the middle with Lacy has always been better than stretching it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Jagoffs D has got to be wearing down

[gbgary]

min up
chi down

[beveaux1]

Jagoffs D has got to be wearing down

Very true.

[gbgary]

sd being up so much is a surprise.

[red]

hey, i finally have my internet working again

somethings wrong with cobb

dick rod fucked up his shoulder before when lane taylor ran into him

maybe don't use cobb as a RB so much when you have 2 decent RB's

[red]

Announcers have said a couple times Capers is rotating players alot due to the heat. I actually haven't been watching the D-line, too busy watching the secondary getting torched.

yeah, maybe our secondary is a bit overrated?

[red]

oh, and if eddy lost any weight, he's managed to put it all back on

to me, he looks just as fat as ever

[pittstang5]

DAMN!!

Play calling sucked there

[red]

what a fucking waste

a rod already in mid season form being pissed at M3's play calling

[gbgary]

3 runs...with Rodgers. gotta try one pass at least.

[SMBASS]

Didn't like that series of play calls at all. Not going up 2 scores really hurt there. You don't take the ball out of the hands of your best player for 3 plays in a row.

Thought we went out and got a legitimate TE to use in the redzone?

[Maxie the Taxi]

Stubby is not a conservative coach. LOL

[beveaux1]

If it didn't do anything else, they wore the Jag D down and gave our D a rest.

[TravisWilliams23]

get cute on the KO assholes.

[gbgary]

dammit

[gbgary]

come on d!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Clark is in there now.

[red]

nice handoff mariotta, and way to try hard to jump on the ball
