Official Week 2 Packers vs. Vikings Game Day Thread

[ThunderDan]

Two less than average punts.

[red]

long throws are off....was the same last week. WTF

a certain fat fuck coach, decided a certain QB didn't have to spend preseason getting on the same page as certain receivers

[pbmax]

How long you been calling for that one, pb?

Just happy to be here and help the team.

[gbgary]

Taylor whiffed on that 2nd down play.

[esoxx]

Arod too careless with the ball again. Shades of 2015 when he fumbled way more than usual.

I blame Olivia Munn.

[beveaux1]

Martinez is fast.

[Harlan Huckleby]

long throws are off....was the same last week. WTF

It's like Arod is throwing the ball away. But he has more time. Maybe the ticking clock in his head is causing him to fire.

[red]

burnetts hurt

[Harlan Huckleby]

Guion with another play

[Rastak]

Jesus H Christ that run game sucks.

[red]

Arod too careless with the ball again. Shades of 2015 when he fumbled way more than usual.

I blame Olivia Munn.

you think his hands are too slippery now?

[ThunderDan]

Wow, run D is great so far.

[pittstang5]

CMON DEFENSE. Need a turnover

[red]

Jesus H Christ that run game sucks.

yeah, thats brutal

but if theres one DC in the league that won't take advantage of the lack of a running games, its dom

[gbgary]

long throws are off....was the same last week. WTF
those might be throw-aways. no separation really.

[Maxie the Taxi]

We need to pressure this guy! Get to him!

[pbmax]

long throws are off....was the same last week. WTF

He had an unblocked guy in his lap on play before his fumble. Threw it blind. But he isn't accurate deep.

[pittstang5]

burnetts hurt

What happened

[red]

burnett looks fine

[red]

GUNTER!!!!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

No first down. Fumble bounces right back to him.

[pittstang5]

God damn...they score 6 now. Damn it

[red]

What happened

twitter was saying the trainers were working on him

[gbgary]

clay hurt Bradford's hand.

[red]

bradford just broke his hand

[pbmax]

Gotta have interior pass rush to stop crossing route

[esoxx]

Looks like Bradford broke his left hand.

[ThunderDan]

1st and 20. If they keep this up the will wish they kicked the fg earlier.

[pittstang5]

GOd Damn middle of the field

[pittstang5]

Gotta get middle pressure!!!!

[red]

COVER GUYS OVER THE MIDDLE

6 years of this shit

[esoxx]

Does Diggs have to talk shit after every catch?

Guess so.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Bradford is outplaying Saint Rodgers

[RashanGary]

Burnett is so mediocre!

[red]

be nice if morgan would try jumping for those

[esoxx]

That was a perfect throw.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Perfect throw. We need to get to him.

[pbmax]

Dammit. Beautiful throw.

[ThunderDan]

Burnett if he played the ball had a TD. Instead he clutched the TE and let him score.

[red]

Burnett is so mediocre!

yup

always has been. and only looks that good when he has another really good safety playing next to him

[pbmax]

Burnett is so mediocre!

He has had one PD and two monster open field tackles. He's ok.

[RashanGary]

You could easily be right. But Martinez is solid.

Right now, yeah. Martinez could be better long term. I'd rather see more Thomas than Ryan at this point.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Field position killed us, i.e., our punting game is still bad.

[pittstang5]

Field position killed us, i.e., our punting game is still bad.

That's true, but they had enough opportunities to stop them and they blew it.

[pbmax]

Field position killed us, i.e., our punting game is still bad.

More offense so far. Patter more right than I want to admit so far this season.

[gbgary]

Bradford is outplaying Saint Rodgers

his guys are getting open. our guys aren't.

[beveaux1]

It's our better than average defense against their very good defense. It's their average offense against our better than average offense. I think we have a pretty good game here.

[red]

told ya, broken hand, first half

IR

[Harlan Huckleby]

Neither running game is clicking much. The receivers are not particularly open for either team. The whole difference is that Bradford has been more accurate than Rodgers.

[pbmax]

his guys are getting open. our guys aren't.

They are just running cover 2 beaters outside. Digs inside sitting in zone.

[red]

don't stutter step,, just run hard

[Harlan Huckleby]

his guys are getting open. our guys aren't.

not really, Bradford is throwing balls perfectly

[red]

he'll brake the other one next half

[pbmax]

2nd best run of night.

They could not have read the X-ray that fast.

[esoxx]

It's our better than average defense against their very good defense. It's their average offense against our better than average offense. I think we have a pretty good game here.

Yep, which makes the punting game even more important and so far there's been two turds hit by Schum.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Neither running game is clicking much. The receivers are not particularly open for either team. The whole difference is that Bradford has been more accurate than Rodgers.With a broken hand.

[pittstang5]

All fuckin day to throw and no one was open!!!

Doubt it

[red]

a-rod got jumpy for no reason and bailed out into the pass rush

[pbmax]

Now that was a poor punt.

[beveaux1]

Hasn't had one good punt.

[red]

our punter sucks

[esoxx]

Cut that POS Schum!!! Three poor punts in a dome. Inexcusable!

[ThunderDan]

Cripes, 3 less than average punts.

[pbmax]

a-rod got jumpy for no reason and bailed out into the pass rush

Taylor was losing his battle too. But he stayed with it. Rodgers would have been better served stepping up.

But tough to do when guard gives up three yards Immediately. You are almost stepping into arm reach

[gbgary]

our punting game is still bad.

punts aren't deep but they aren't being returned either.

[esoxx]

With a broken hand.

The most difficult part will be taking snaps. Wouldn't be surprised if they went more shotgun.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Is the other punter still available, the guy in preseason who beat out Masthay?

[RashanGary]

I think Minnesota confused AR. He didn't have what he was looking for, then bailed.

[red]

nice play by ryan

[ThunderDan]

Ryan with a good fill on the direct snap.

[pbmax]

Ryan!

[Harlan Huckleby]

The most difficult part will be taking snaps. Wouldn't be surprised if they went more shotgun.

yep, seems like it

[ThunderDan]

Ryan with the pass defense.

[gbgary]

I wish we'd play real press coverage.

[pbmax]

punts aren't deep but they aren't being returned either.

But is that hang time or short kick?

[ThunderDan]

That looked late on the time out call.

[red]

Is the other punter still available, the guy in preseason who beat out Masthay?

is masthay still available

this guys numbers were bad last year too. i have to believe TT thought he was getting someone else

[Maxie the Taxi]

To be honest, we should be losing.

[red]

BOOM

thats what you do to bradford

[Maxie the Taxi]

Yes. Keep this up and we win. Must pressure the QB!

[red]

slammed by peppers right on the throwing shoulder, good play by perry too

[ThunderDan]

Ouch, glad i am not Bradford.

[beveaux1]

Peppers sighting.

[RashanGary]

Bradford is throwing perfect throws on contested passes. AR needs to throw the ball a little bit.

[Maxie the Taxi]

is masthay still available

this guys numbers were bad last year too. i have to believe TT thought he was getting someone elseYeah, TT's getting old. The Atlanta GM said Schum's the Guy and TT thought he said Ray Guy.

[red]

yes chris, turning your head to look is very difficult

[red]

Yeah, TT's getting old. The Atlanta GM said Schum's the Guy and TT thought he said Ray Guy.

lol

[Maxie the Taxi]

STFU Chris.

[ThunderDan]

Good effort by Cobb to get 7.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Is there a TE on the PAckers active roster tonight?

[pbmax]

Rodgers needs to get over Jordy love.

[red]

a rod and jordy are sharper tonight?

collinsworth needs to STFU

seriously, they've connected 2 or 3 times

shut up

[pbmax]

yes chris, turning your head to look is very difficult

That's no joke. Gives DE the edge.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Lacy softened up the defense. Now we're gonna pound um with Cobb

[Maxie the Taxi]

There's a second wasted TO for you, red. Hey hey

[red]

#2

quick, take the otherone right now too before it burns a hole in your pocket

[pbmax]

Unbelievable. Like a second year offense with the wasted TOs.

[red]

Good effort by Cobb to get 7.
are there any wrs other then jordy cobb and adams?

another throw away rather then taking a small chance

[pbmax]

He was open!

[red]

bad throw, had his guy open

[Harlan Huckleby]

Cook seems to be continuing his NFL career of having great potential

[beveaux1]

Good punt.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I'm thinking Arod needs glasses...I'm serious.

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers stinks tonight.

[ThunderDan]

If ARod throws that in the right spot it is a first down. He just threw it too high.

[red]

so, something i've been kicking around for awhile after looking at the cap numbers

is this the last season for our window, and is the window already closed?

what are the chances TT pulls a "favre" next year with a-rod?

[pittstang5]

Good Lord!

[ThunderDan]

He got it but short yardage run D looked good.

[red]

god damnit

[Teamcheez1]

Damarious Randall sucks.

He has given up at least 7 receptions.

[pittstang5]

Cmon DEfense!!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Must keep the pressure on the QB. Shit, this ain't rocket science.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Damarious Randall sucks.

nah, perfect throw, tremendous catch

[pbmax]

I don't know how Bach made that back on 3rd down. They moved a DE outside of him and he was staring inside at snap. He was his 2nd read very late.

[ThunderDan]

That play was similar to the Packers play that ARod wouldn't throw it to Nelson.

[RashanGary]

Not looking good. Bradford is getting horrible pressure and throwing better than ar, who's getting good blocking. And we've abandoned the run.

[pbmax]

Must keep the pressure on the QB. Shit, this ain't rocket science.

They are blitzing too much. Need more confusion.

[beveaux1]

Rodgers really doesn't look good. Maybe it's the receivers, probably it's the defense, but he looks as average as last year.

[Upnorth]

Unless our offence starts pulling it's weight we are screwed....

[red]

so, bo jackson is only famous because of tecmo bowl i guess

too bad he never did anything else

[Teamcheez1]

nah, perfect throw, tremendous catch

Is that why Randall has given up 7 receptions tonight so far?

[Maxie the Taxi]

Time for Dom to pull out his scrambled egg defense or whatever he calls it.

[red]

Rodgers really doesn't look good. Maybe it's the receivers, probably it's the defense, but he looks as average as last year.

but he just looked bad last year because he didn't have jordy

once jordy comes back, all will be fixed

[pbmax]

Maxie! Lowry was in!

[pittstang5]

FUCKIN STOP THEM!!!

CMON DEFENSE!!!! LETS GO!!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Is that why Randall has given up 7 receptions tonight so far?

I haven't noticed them picking on Randall, you could be right, but that play was perfectly executed, not a defensive bust

[Maxie the Taxi]

Maxie! Lowry was in!Did he short arm that pass rush?

[ThunderDan]

Kicking a FG.

[pbmax]

Offense not holding up its end of the donkey suit.

[pbmax]

Did he short arm that pass rush?

He was looking to deflect pass by jumping high!

[red]

Offense not holding up its end of the donkey suit.

might be a long year

[Upnorth]

So we kind of stopped a fourth down attempt by not screwing up. Oh gpody

[pittstang5]

Offense not holding up its end of the donkey suit.

Typical - Rogers will get going in the 4th, when it's too late.

[beveaux1]

56 yards of offense.

[KYPack]

This is to NOT join the Anti-AR chorus, but...

50% of Rodgers passes were completed for 2 yards or less last season.

[Teamcheez1]

This is all about the offense so far. They are not getting the job done. Rodger needs to get his head screwed on right. I also think MM needs to adjust his playcalling.

[pbmax]

I haven't noticed them picking on Randall, you could be right, but that play was perfectly executed, not a defensive bust

Diggs was behind CB and safety. Someone is getting a minus.

[RashanGary]

Bradford can really throw accurately. His problem is far is that his OL sucks. Aaron's problem is that Aaron has sucked.

[pittstang5]

figures

[red]

hey look, adams caught one that doesn't count

[Maxie the Taxi]

Just take it to the 2nd half. This is dangerous stuff here.

[red]

STFU AARON

your 80 yards away from the endzone and YOU haven't done fucking shit tonight

[ThunderDan]

Pack it in and get to the 2nd half.

[pbmax]

Huh. Might have made a difference to have 2 timeouts there Mike?

[pittstang5]

........and then they'll come out after the half and go 3 and out

[Teamcheez1]

Where the hell is Jared Cook? He was invisible the first half. So much for the TE's getting involved this season.

[red]

Huh. Might have made a difference to have 2 timeouts there Mike?

you can't use TOs with less then a minute left in either half

duh

[Harlan Huckleby]

Diggs was behind CB and safety. Someone is getting a minus.

BArely any separation, a diving finger tip grab - that was not a blown coverage. You can't defend a perfect pass and a receiver layed-out.

[beveaux1]

That's a good defense that Minny has. We're playing like the visiting team. Let's hope they open something up in the 2nd half.

[TravisWilliams23]

They need to find that hoodie JJ wore at Minn last year. It seemed to help get HIM open at least.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Where the hell is Jared Cook? He was invisible the first half. So much for the TE's getting involved this season.

Thank you.

[RashanGary]

STFU AARON

your 80 yards away from the endzone and YOU haven't done fucking shit tonight

Yep. So tretter missed some finess ass tricky play and AR keeps fucking up the regular plays and he's going to throw a fit. Shut the fuck up, chump. Bradford is going better with less on a team he just got traded to. AR really needs to check himself or one of those OL should punch him in the face.

[pbmax]

HOT TAKE!!

Everyone but Campen needs to be fired after this half.

[Rutnstrut]

Post of the year so far.

[Maxie the Taxi]

This is to NOT join the Anti-AR chorus, but...

50% of Rodgers passes were completed for 2 yards or less last season.This is hard to believe. We don't look like a West Coast offense.

[yetisnowman]

There is no excuse for this offense playing like this. Period. Veterans on the staff and on the field. Pathetic

[pbmax]

BArely any separation, a diving finger tip grab - that was not a blown coverage. You can't defend a perfect pass and a receiver layed-out.

Not defending throw. But he was open.

[Harlan Huckleby]

HOT TAKE!!

Everyone but Campen needs to be fired after this half.

Slocum needs to be the first to go

[texaspackerbacker]

No push and generally shaky play by our O Line, Mediocrity from Jordy Nelson and Adams, Nothing from Cook, A piece-of-crap punter, poor coverage at times by our DBs.

On the good side, fairly decent play by the front seven.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Not defending throw. But he was open.

I don't see it that way, there almost always is half a step separation. If the QB throws open the receiver with a perfectly arced pass, and the receivers dives for the ball, that is not a defensible play.

We will have to agree to agree that I am right and you are wrong. Fair enough?

[red]

great, they're having a big halftime show. i hope they use fireworks so we can't see shit in the third quarter

[Harlan Huckleby]

This is hard to believe. We don't look like a West Coast offense.

We look like TJ Rubley in the old Humper Dome

[Maxie the Taxi]

Post of the year so far.That and red's post saying Stubby didn't play Arod in the preseason.

[Rutnstrut]

No push and generally shaky play by our O Line, Mediocrity from Jordy Nelson and Adams, Nothing from Cook, A piece-of-crap punter, poor coverage at times by our DBs.

On the good side, fairly decent play by the front seven.

It can't be bad play by the O-line. Getting rid of Sitton and giving Bacteria millions was supposed to fix that.

[pbmax]

I don't see it that way, there almost always is half a step separation. If the QB throws open the receiver with a perfectly arced pass, and the receivers dives for the ball, that is not a defensible play.

We will have to agree to agree that I am right and you are wrong. Fair enough?

I agree a great throw can beat coverage. But no one was behind him. If he doesn't fall down, it's a TD.

[wist43]

HOT TAKE!!

Everyone but Campen needs to be fired after this half.

Lower scoring than I expected... actually closer than I expected.

Minnesota dominating?? I expected... we're just not nearly as good as they are across the board. They are much more physical; we are very average pretty much everywhere on offense except QB.

It is what it is... we're not going anywhere again this season.

[Rastak]

Two outstanding running games so far.....

[Maxie the Taxi]

I'm drinking the second half. Maybe the game will look better to me.

[Bretsky]

I'm coming In here for some dam good luck !!! I don't get why our WR's can't get open and then they do AROD missed them...YUK

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Motherfuck, Great Arm of Butte! Get ya shit together! :x

[Maxie the Taxi]

Two outstanding running games so far.....The difference is your coach started to pass. Ours will come out running again.

[Harlan Huckleby]

But no one was behind him. If he doesn't fall down, it's a TD.

Well, your "fall down" is my "beautiful diving catch." We may have to go to the tape. There is now manhood at stake.

[pbmax]

Same Defense Zimmer used in Cincy. Rushes 5 and one is spy. Rodgers cannot escape to extend.

And this offense doesn't go through progressions anymore.

[wist43]

Two outstanding running games so far.....

Need Peterson to find pay dirt for one of my fantasy league :)

[ThunderDan]

O-line is playing fine, ARod has enough timel.

[beveaux1]

This is really pretty typical play against a good defense at their home. We'll have one or two second half drives, but it's tough going against a really athletic defense at their home. By the way, very little has been open over the middle with the Viking LBs. That's why Cook hasn't been seen. It's a little like facing the Bears when Uhrlacher was in his prime.

[pbmax]

Lower scoring than I expected... actually closer than I expected.

Minnesota dominating?? I expected... we're just not nearly as good as they are across the board. They are much more physical; we are very average pretty much everywhere on offense except QB.

It is what it is... we're not going anywhere again this season.

If that is your analysis, you are watching a tape of a different game. Packer front seven has owned. The QB isn't replacement level today.

[Harlan Huckleby]

O-line is playing fine, ARod has enough timel.

YEs. Just how bad are our receivers? Or is it just Rodgers, as I think?

[Harlan Huckleby]

If that is your analysis, you are watching a tape of a different game. Packer front seven has owned. The QB isn't replacement level today.

I agree, Packers are physical on both sides of ball.

[pbmax]

This is really pretty typical play against a good defense at their home. We'll have one or two second half drives, but it's tough going against a really athletic defense at their home. By the way, very little has been open over the middle with the Viking LBs. That's why Cook hasn't been seen. It's a little like facing the Bears when Uhrlacher was in his prime.

It is a very good D.

And the toss gained six. Amazing.

[ThunderDan]

Nice hold be the DB in his highlights from the 1st half.

[esoxx]

Yep. So tretter missed some finess ass tricky play and AR keeps fucking up the regular plays and he's going to throw a fit. Shut the fuck up, chump. Bradford is going better with less on a team he just got traded to. AR really needs to check himself or one of those OL should punch him in the face.

QFT

[pbmax]

You idiot!

[Harlan Huckleby]

dumb

[ThunderDan]

Cook, you had the first.

[red]

whew sub 2 minute drive to start the half

[pbmax]

whew sub 2 minute drive to start the half

They adjusted and 3 plays worked. Not enough to overcome stupidity and a hold.

[pbmax]

Terrible call.

[esoxx]

STFU Chris. Tired of your gravel voice.

[RashanGary]

fuck, missing Guion. Ugh!

[ThunderDan]

There goes field position again.

[red]

if youre gonna get a 15 yard flag for that, then why not launch yourself at the qb's head?

guion out for the night

[Harlan Huckleby]

Bradford is a surgeon tonight

[Bretsky]

Minnesota looks like the better team

[pittstang5]

Good lord, Defense is putrid

[gbgary]

get up there and jam the wrs.

[pbmax]

Nice play by Clay. Stop blitzing ha ha.

[pbmax]

Minnesota looks like the better team

Their QB looks better.

[MadScientist]

Did the Packers get a sack with a 4 man rush?

[beveaux1]

We've started nearly every drive inside the 15.

[RashanGary]

Bradford is a surgeon tonight

Yep

[ThunderDan]

Come on O, get your head out of your ass.

[pittstang5]

Cmon Offense!!!!

[esoxx]

Nice play by Clay. Stop blitzing ha ha.

This is no laughing matter.

[Rutnstrut]

We've started nearly every drive inside the 15.

Shouldn't be this big of a problem for the supposed best QB in the NFL.

[Guiness]

Rodgers looks pissed off this series.

[pbmax]

That was nice. Love two TE OFFENSE so far.

[esoxx]

Nice toss sweep to the left stubby. That play is dog shit.

[ThunderDan]

That's what we need to loosen the coverage.

[Guiness]

That's the Lacy run you have to love.

[pbmax]

Best read of Eddies night.

[MadScientist]

If Minnesota stops making penalties on defense, the Packers are really screwed.

[red]

get up there and jam the wrs.

i don't think we've ever done that

[ThunderDan]

There we go, nice run Lacy.

[esoxx]

Ever hear of a screen pass? That play no longer exists in stubby's universe.

[pbmax]

Why is Barclay in game?

[red]

barclay comes in and gives up a sack right away?

why is he on the team?

[pittstang5]

Why the fuck was Lang out. fuck you Barclay, you shouldn't even be in the NFL

[gbgary]

our DBs let the wrs run unmolested down field while their DBs grab and hold like seattle.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'd rather be lucky than good

[pittstang5]

GOD DAMN...THANK YOU COOK!!!

[ThunderDan]

O looking a little better this drive. Of course not hard to improve off of first half.

[esoxx]

Great recovery by Cook.

[pbmax]

Is that 5 fumbles all offensive recoveries?

[red]

keystone cops

how can he not find anyone open in 10 seconds?

[pittstang5]

ENOUGH WITH THE PITCH!!!!!

[red]

taylor?

[ThunderDan]

Great scramble by ARod. But twice he has gotten stripped.

[pbmax]

You gotta press the hole James.

[pbmax]

Dickrods first ever YAC.

[ThunderDan]

Is that 5 fumbles all offensive recoveries?

No the first two were recovered by the other team. Both on the same play.

[Rutnstrut]

keystone cops

how can he not find anyone open in 10 seconds?

I think they are a little open. They just aren't AR open.

[pittstang5]

3rd and 1 Fuckin Deep

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

[pbmax]

Nope.

[Harlan Huckleby]

should have taken 3

[pittstang5]

we had it, but they are spotting wrong.

[red]

nope, god damnit

[MadScientist]

Shit, short.

Why Starks and not Lacy?>

[Teamcheez1]

Two stupid play calls. WTF.

McCarthy you are an idiot.

[pittstang5]

bad spot!!!

[wist43]

If that is your analysis, you are watching a tape of a different game. Packer front seven has owned. The QB isn't replacement level today.

We've hung in there on defense... but overall, they are just a better team.

If you can't see that, you need to take your green and gold sunglasses off.

[wist43]

Two stupid play calls. WTF.

I think it's official - stubby has gone full on stupid.

[pbmax]

we had it, but they are spotting wrong.

Ref closer to camera had it half a yard ahead.

[Harlan Huckleby]

That was a foolish call even if they had gotten the first. 3 points is critical here.

[red]

Shit, short.

Why Starks and not Lacy?>

because it was starks series

sorry, i don't have a good answer

[pittstang5]

MM has to challenge, me thinks, but probably won't win

[esoxx]

That fucking Marco Polo commercial. Like fucking Marco Polo is going to show up in your swimming pool??? Is it wrong of me that i wish that fat kid would drown?

[pittstang5]

When shit like that happens - you don't win games.

[Bretsky]

Their QB looks better.


He does
But their secondary also looks WAY better

Even when we buy time we're not getting open too often

[RashanGary]

Bradford makes Aaron look like a chump tonight.
