Official Packers Falcons Game Day Thread

[Maxie the Taxi]

Still too soon, Harlan?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Fourth round cutoff?!

Given he has barely played, waiver in order

[ThunderDan]

the davis fuckdoggle fight will be epic

Guaranteed winner!

[red]

i think julio broke is ass

[beveaux1]

You know, could it be that the light has come on for Adams? Fumble notwithstanding, he's played well, so far.

[ThunderDan]

You know, could it be that the light has come on for Adams? Fumble notwithstanding, he's played well, so far.

Yup, the catching his been impressive. He just need to be concussed to get everything straight.

[pbmax]

Kinda like the Michael Phelps bit in the Call of Duty ad.

[ThunderDan]

At least the D got to Ryan.

[Rastak]

Good tackle.

[red]

someone just destroyed ryan

datone

[Cheesehead Craig]

Bullshit call

[pbmax]

Dammit Datone!

[ThunderDan]

Kinda like the Michael Phelps bit in the Call of Duty ad.

Get out of my pool, sea monkey.

[Rastak]

Lame call on Jones.

[yetisnowman]

Jesus christ. What a shit call

[red]

if you're gonna get flagged for touching him, you may as well unload on his ass and take him out

[Maxie the Taxi]

I think Stubby is at his best when his back is against the wall with injuries etc. He's forced to think out of the box.

[ThunderDan]

Pretty quick first half.

[red]

I think Stubby is at his best when his back is against the wall with injuries etc. He's forced to think out of the box.

you mean he's forced to think?

[yetisnowman]

Not sure I've ever seen a roughing the passer call where the qb doesn't touch the ground

[pbmax]

I think Stubby is at his best when his back is against the wall with injuries etc. He's forced to think out of the box.

Absolutely agree with this. Though I think most of this has been Rodgers today.

[red]

Pretty quick first half.


about an hour?

gotta be some kind of record

[Maxie the Taxi]

you mean he's forced to think?He's forced to innovate and to use players he's reluctant to trust when everybody's healthy.

[beveaux1]

Not sure I've ever seen a roughing the passer call where the qb doesn't touch the ground

He barely moved backward.

[Cheesehead Craig]

about an hour?

gotta be some kind of record

About 1:20 right now

[pittstang5]

Damn it! COVER SOMEONE!!!!

[red]

bit a litle on that play action

[ThunderDan]

about an hour?

gotta be some kind of record

Especially with less than 10 running plays.

[pittstang5]

NEED A TURNOVER!!!

[red]

About 1:20 right now

they don't kick off right when they come on the air

[yetisnowman]

Why not call timeouts here?

[Maxie the Taxi]

The winner of this game might be the team that has the ball last.

[pittstang5]

Tackling has sucked at times today!!!!

[red]

excuse me, but when you hand the ball to another player to spike, isn't that a 2 person celebration and a 15 yard penalty?

[ThunderDan]

Penalty, can't spike a ball by another player. Should have to kickoff from the 20.

[esoxx]

Stupid not to call timeouts.

[yetisnowman]

We could have had over a minute left. MM kills me with his timeout management

[pittstang5]

FUCK! STOP THEM DON'T Let them convert!!!!!!!

[pbmax]

Sweet.

[ThunderDan]

Peppers with the strip sack.

[beveaux1]

Defense looked bad that series.

[Cheesehead Craig]

they don't kick off right when they come on the air

Today they did

[red]

Tackling has sucked at times today!!!!

its amazing that when that defense sucks the offense is amazing, and when the offense sucks the defense is lights out

we can rarely get both sides working at the same time

[Rastak]

Penalty, can't spike a ball by another player. Should have to kickoff from the 20.


They should enforce penalties after the TD on the conversion attempt, not the ensuing kickoff.

[red]

Stupid not to call timeouts.

http://blogimages.thescore.com/nfl/files/2011/09/mike-mccarthy2.jpg

[KalamazooPackerFan]

The stop on the 2 point may turn out to be the most important defensive stop of the game.

[pittstang5]

Defense needs to find a way to stop them.

[ThunderDan]

Jeff Janis special coming up.

[pittstang5]

WOW!!!!!

[red]

what a catch

[pbmax]

Packers got away with a Bach false start there.

Nice recovery Jordy.

[Rastak]

Makeup lame call.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great job getting 3pts there

[pittstang5]

Oh shit! what do ya do. Try a shot or take the points. MM says take the points

[ThunderDan]

Boom, at least we got 3.

[beveaux1]

Best 27 second drive of the year.

[gbgary]

great drive to end the half.

[pbmax]

Didn't need even both TOs.

[TravisWilliams23]

Best 27 second drive of the year.

If Stubby uses his time outs properly, they have at least 40 seconds more to full around with.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That Davis TD is even more impressive seeing the replay.

[yetisnowman]

Seriously how many points does MM cost is with his retarded clock management at the end of halfs? They had a finite number of plays at the goalline. Leave your offense as much time as possible.

[Cheesehead Craig]

What the hell did he do wrong?

[gbgary]

Montgomery out with some sort of kidney issue.

[pbmax]

Montgomery out with some sort of kidney issue.

?? At age 22? Stones?

[gbgary]

?? At age 22? Stones?

no idea. nope it's not serious. i think i saw that he made the flight though. what i read said he's doing better and was held out for precautionary measures.

[ThunderDan]

Just went upstairs to order dinner. Wow, my legs hurt! I even took an ice bath after the race.

[beveaux1]

?? At age 22? Stones?

More than likely. You can be pretty sick with that.

[pbmax]

Tom Oates ‏@TomOatesWSJ 58s58 seconds ago
Now you know why #Packers cut Abbrederis. McCarthy planned for 5-WR sets but Abby was hurt & Cobb, Montgomery were iffy. Needed a healthy WR

Tom Oates ‏@TomOatesWSJ 11m11 minutes ago
And your halftime score from the Georgia Dome: Baylor 24, Texas Tech 19. #Packers

Tom on a roll.

[beveaux1]

If they don't pass, could be more serious.

[Joemailman]

Montgomery out with some sort of kidney issue.

Maybe he ate too much chili.

http://s3.amazonaws.com/tp-prod/pictures/4293/chili.jpg

[gbgary]

...and we get the ball.

[ThunderDan]

...and we get the ball.

Yup, we won the toss and deferred.

[yetisnowman]

What the hell did he do wrong?

Are you joking? Once Atlanta runs a first and goal play he lets the clock run. They have two more plays maximum to score(unless they go for it on 4th of a penalty). You commit that you will call your TOs on 2nd and 3rd down if they don't score. Either they score or they don't. But it leaves the max amount of time on the clock for the offense, that is cruising. Not sure if you noticed, but we were on the 8 yd line with 4 seconds left.

[gbgary]

[ace ventura voice] Yuummy [/ace ventura voice]

[KYPack]

If MM had called TO's when some of you wanted, you'd be cryin' like Camp fire Girls.

[ThunderDan]

Adams with another catch.

[Cheesehead Craig]

You commit that you will call your TOs on 2nd and 3rd down if they don't score. Either they score or they don't. But it leaves the max amount of time in the clock for the offense, that is cruising. Not sure if you noticed, but we were in the 8 yd line with 4 seconds left.

If he calls both his timeouts while on defense and Atlanta scored you'd be here bitching how he didn't have any timeouts for the offense and didn't give them a chance. MM had made bad decisions before but this one wasn't it

[Cheesehead Craig]

What the hell on that TO?

[ThunderDan]

Not sure that was a great idea to draw ATL offsides and use a timeout.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

"Trying to get them with a hard count" is not a play call!

[SMBASS]

If MM had called TO's when some of you wanted, you'd be cryin' like Camp fire Girls.

Not sure what would have happened KY. When you have the ball you can stop the clock a couple different ways without timeouts but you can't put time back on the clock. On the other hand, it also changes the type of plays you have to call and kind of takes away the middle of field stuff if you don't have any timeouts so hard to say how it would have played out.

[yetisnowman]

Classic burning a TO 3 mins into the 3rd quarter of a close game. I just dont get it.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Teams around the league are getting wise to Rodgers' hard count schtick.

[ThunderDan]

Maybe try twice then run the play.

[Rastak]

"Trying to get them with a hard count" is not a play call!

With GB it kind of is it seems.

[beveaux1]

TO was on Rodgers. Wanted 5 easy yards.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The winner of this game might be the team that has the ball last.

Or the one who scores more points. We'll see.

[gbgary]

need the 1st down. mm...get the 1st down.

[pittstang5]

Damn It! We needed to capitalize on getting the ball to start the 3rd. FG would have nice, at the least. Double Damn it!!!

[yetisnowman]

If he calls both his timeouts while on defense and Atlanta scored you'd be here bitching how he didn't have any timeouts for the offense and didn't give them a chance. MM had made bad decisions before but this one wasn't it

Timeouts are less valueable than 45 seconds of time. I said he should have used them before Atlanta scored. Look back. It's simple logic

[ThunderDan]

Rush 6 and the ball needs to come out quick ARod.

[pittstang5]

Gotta get the ball out!!! FUCK!!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Janis a little bewildered there. It's ok, baby steps

[pbmax]

And Janis loses the ball. Bring it out to 20. Net kick of 30 or so.

[pittstang5]

Cmon D!!! Need a turnover

[gbgary]

cover the tight ends now. Julio is hurt.

[ThunderDan]

Martinez looks good in coverage if not against a WR.

[pittstang5]

FUCKIN TACKLE!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

81 with a huge hold on that play.

[red]

"Trying to get them with a hard count" is not a play call!

its play #1A in our playbook

[Harlan Huckleby]

only 3 yards offf sides

[pittstang5]

GET THAT BALL BACK!!! CMON DEFENSE!!!!

DAMNIT OFFSIDES!!!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

How was that not unabated to the quarterback?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Timeouts are less valueable than 45 seconds of time. I said he should have used them before Atlanta scored. Look back. It's simple logic

But then the Packers cannot use the middle of the field. It changes their entire offensive playcalls and they have to hurry up and rush plays. It's simple logic.

[yetisnowman]

Goddamit datone

[pittstang5]

CMON DEFENSE!!!!! GET THAT BALL!!!!!!

[red]

fucking fackerrell

[pittstang5]

CMON DEFENSE!!!!!

[pittstang5]

TACKLE!!!!!!! FUCK THIS DEFENSE!!!!!

[pbmax]

ILB lost him in backfield.

[ThunderDan]

Martinez needs to make the tackle after shooting the gap.

[pbmax]

ILB lost him in backfield.

Martinez

[TravisWilliams23]

Every time Capers sends a DB on a blitz, they never get there and leave a huge hole open in the middle.

[pittstang5]

FUCK NOW THEY'll SCORE!!!!!

[pittstang5]

NEED A TURNOVER!!!!

[pbmax]

Guion is getting turned at nose.

[yetisnowman]

But then the Packers cannot use the middle of the field. It changes their entire offensive playcalls and they have to hurry up and rush plays. It's simple logic.

You don't get it it's fine. Either they score or they dont. They scored anyway and we let 40 seconds burn. With a great qb you will take a minute over 1 or two timeouts

[pbmax]

False start on Atlanta.

[pbmax]

Blown coverage.

[pittstang5]

FUCK!!!!!! CMON...you can't suck this bad!!!!!!!!! CMON!!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Good tackle by Bryce.

[Rastak]

2 man rush?

[Maxie the Taxi]

You rush three men to cover the field and the guy still gets wide open. I would blitz the house on a 3rd down like that.

[pbmax]

I think it was blown by Datone who dropped into a zone and had no one but there was a RB out wide. Ryan looking like he was running stalled him in the middle though.

[Cheesehead Craig]

2 man rush?

And no one covers the RB

[Rastak]

You rush three men to cover the field and the guy still gets wide open. I would blitz the house on a 3rd down like that.


Looked like 2.

[Rastak]

They might want to throw, they are tough inside.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Looked like 2.You could be right. I'd blitz 6.

[pbmax]

Guion with big penetration.

[pittstang5]

FUCK THis DEFENSE!!! FUCK THEM!!!!

NEED THEM TO STEP UP!!!

[ThunderDan]

15 yards again. Can't spike the ball.

[pbmax]

No LB or Safety fill into gap.

[pittstang5]

Needed to score to open the 2nd half. I fuckin knew it!

[Rastak]

15 yards again. Can't spike the ball.

Send a letter to Blandino.

[beveaux1]

Let's go offense. They ran the ball to start the 2nd half. Limited J Jones. If we're going to play 2 ILBs, we need to stop the run.

[pbmax]

Penalties are killing the D again.

[pittstang5]

Gotta move the ball!!!!

[pbmax]

Blood in urine then.

[Rastak]

Really nice catch.

[pbmax]

WOOOOT!!

[yetisnowman]

Davante has been impressive lately

[pittstang5]

CANT GO BACKWARDS!!!!!

[pittstang5]

FUCK!! We are screwed now

[Cheesehead Craig]

That was a bad quarter

[pbmax]

Tretter just lost my Pro Bowl vote. He also beat Taylor clean earlier.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Atlanta adjusted at half-time. WE didn't.

[beveaux1]

Our 2nd halves have not been good. Can't put together a complete game.

[gbgary]

our d needs to step up and get some stops!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Tretter just lost my Pro Bowl vote. He also beat Taylor clean earlier.Claiborne has been a beast the last few games.

[pbmax]

Atlanta adjusted at half-time. WE didn't.

Pretty sure we are jus pass blocking like death right now.

[Tony Oday]

That's the game. We can't stop them.

[Harlan Huckleby]

2 point game with whole quarter to go.

[beveaux1]

I really don't trust our D to step up. We're pretty outmanned.

[beveaux1]

Our O has to step up.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Got to get to Ryan and force a turnover. We can't cover underneath anyway.

[yetisnowman]

The D and ST not doing the little things well. Poor tackling and angles . 4 extra yards here 10 there. Adds up quickly

[Cheesehead Craig]

Big sack

[pbmax]

Need to tackle.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Back to back!

[Harlan Huckleby]

I thought Peppers was released

[Maxie the Taxi]

Now you're talking.

[pbmax]

Peppers with sack but that was caused by Holy Fackrell!

[beveaux1]

Well, the pass rush came on.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Big penalty. Field position.

[pbmax]

All right, field position flipped by D and ST!!!

[gbgary]

o needs a nice long drive for a td.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Screen pass to Jackson.

[pbmax]

Oh son of a beach!

[Cheesehead Craig]

That WR screen don't work

[pbmax]

OK, that play isn't working anymore

[pbmax]

Falcons have switched to man and the problems have returned.

[pittstang5]

GOD DAMN IT!!! The offense blew their load in the first half. now we can't do shit!!!

[pbmax]

GERONIMO!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great protection

[gbgary]

Geronimo gets open...

[Maxie the Taxi]

Great catch. Geranimo has huge hands.

[pbmax]

Wow, nice footwork.

[pbmax]

T2 should sign TJ before he gets to the locker room.

[pittstang5]

Lang down. Not good!!! Rogers will get sacked now.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Good insight there by Aikman on Aaron running them out of man coverage

[Maxie the Taxi]

The announcer basically just gave a Chris Collingsworth endorsement of Geronimo Allison for the Fuckdoggle.

[Rastak]

Good insight there by Aikman on Aaron running them out of man coverage


Gotta put a spy on him like Minnesota did.

[ThunderDan]

Darn, just tipped.

[Rastak]

Nice defensive play.

[pittstang5]

Who came in for Lang? Barclay, or is it Spriggs

[pbmax]

Add a flat or short out route to the two routes Janis knows.

[pittstang5]

Don't go back Jordy. FUCK!!!!!

[yetisnowman]

Jordy wtf

[pbmax]

DAMMIT JORDY!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Why Jordy!

[red]

get the fucking first down

[Harlan Huckleby]

terrible job, jordy

[pbmax]

Who came in for Lang? Barclay, or is it Spriggs

Barclay.

[pittstang5]

STUPID CHALLENGE!!!

[yetisnowman]

He gave progress up.

[Rastak]

He was slightly short, bad challenge.

They might move it up a little. Maybe that's what he wanted.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Bad challenge. Jordy just fucked up

[Maxie the Taxi]

Now Stubby compounds the error by losing a TO. Can't believe he wins this challenge. He should go for it on 4th down though.

[ThunderDan]

I think MmM challenged to get his 4th down play right.

[beveaux1]

I think it's a bad challenge.

[gbgary]

1 foot short I'm guessing.

[pittstang5]

Barclay.

Oh Great!

[Harlan Huckleby]

go for first down, 3 won't win

[pbmax]

Now Stubby compounds the error by losing a TO. Can't believe he wins this challenge. He should go for it on 4th down though.

What is LOS?

[ThunderDan]

go for first down, 3 won't win

7 probably doesn't win either. Take 3 now and get 7 later for the win.

[pbmax]

TJ Lang back out on field

[pittstang5]

STUPID JORDY, STUPID CHALLENGE!!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

go for first down, 3 won't winThe only problem with going for it is Arod passing up a man open short for the 1st and then overthrowing the WR downfield.

[pbmax]

7 probably doesn't win either. Take 3 now and get 7 later for the win.

Lotta time left. Going to be a possession for each team after this easily

[yetisnowman]

Kick the field goal

[pittstang5]

WTF!!!!! LEt's GO!!!!!!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Did MM know that?

[Cheesehead Craig]

I stand corrected, great challenge

[pbmax]

Win for the coach.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Stubby's a genius for challenging that!!!!!!!!!!

[Rastak]

That's kind of cool, when you challenge the spot can you also get a holding call while they are reviewing the challenge?

[pbmax]

Rodgers was watching Brooks Reed moving off too

[ThunderDan]

That's kind of cool, when you challenge the spot can you also get a holding call while they are reviewing the challenge?

Nope only too many players on the field.

[pbmax]

That's kind of cool, when you challenge the spot can you also get a holding call while they are reviewing the challenge?

I wonder if they changed it. Rodgers knew he had Reed.

[yetisnowman]

Don't like burning the clock here

[pittstang5]

Same Play!!! WTF!!!

[pbmax]

FUCKDOGGLE!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Geronimo time

[Maxie the Taxi]

Geronimo just checked in.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Janis comes through!

[pbmax]

JANIS!?!?!?!?!

[pittstang5]

FLAG!!!

What's it on?

[gbgary]

don't know why the o lineman can't get out of ripper's way.

[red]

wow, what a catch

whats the flag

[ThunderDan]

Janis with the TD catch.

[pbmax]

JANIS!!!!

[Rastak]

Nice pass.

[red]

YEAH

what a catch, and i'm not sure that was to janis

[gbgary]

janis td!!

[gbgary]

cool...but I don't get why they did the 2 pt conv.

[ThunderDan]

Come on Troy. You can find a hold on every play. That was a baby hold. Probably not called all dat either way.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Brilliant!

[Rutnstrut]

Why does Rodgers not run to the endzone to congradulate Janis like he does the other receivers? Because the prick doesn't like him.

[red]

theres a damn fine fake

FUCK YOU AND YOURE FUCKING RELAX FUCKING HORSESHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pbmax]

That is a two point conversion thinking about two scores from now.

Advanced calculation on Packer sideline. I like it.

[pittstang5]

Not sure I understand going for the 2. Only up 6, 4 if you miss, 5 with PAT?

[pbmax]

Come on Troy. You can find a hold on every play. That was a baby hold. Probably not called all dat either way.

Veteran savvy!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Not sure I understand going for the 2. Only up 6, 4 if you miss, 5 with PAT?Stubby likes even numbers.

[gbgary]

Why does Rodgers not run to the endzone to congradulate Janis like he does the other receivers? Because the prick doesn't like him.

he doesn't do that all the time.

[pbmax]

Not sure I understand going for the 2. Only up 6, 4 if you miss, 5 with PAT?

If Falcons score TD, even with 2 pointer, you can win with FG.

[Rastak]

That is a two point conversion thinking about two scores from now.

Advanced calculation on Packer sideline. I like it.


Have to admit the logic is pretty solid. I've seen plenty of missed XP today even.


edit: Meaning if ATL scores and misses it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

cool...but I don't get why they did the 2 pt conv.

6 is a little better than 5.

5 is about the same as 4

[pbmax]

Stubby likes even numbers.

Maybe this too!

[gbgary]

ok d...it's on you. keep them out of the end zone.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Why does Rodgers not run to the endzone to congradulate Janis like he does the other receivers? Because the prick doesn't like him.Maybe Janis ran the wrong route. LOL
