The Official Packers - Texans Gameday Thread

[Rutnstrut]

Clay was slow dancing with his blocker on that play.

[ThunderDan]

First time all season the other team didn't score under two minutes in the half.

[gbgary]

Means nothing when you realize he has 68 yards in a half of football.

they're running and aren't throwing down field so it does mean something. that's on McCarthy.

[Teamcheez1]

The defense has stepped up today.
The offense looks very average.

[beveaux1]

they're running aren't throwing down field so it does mean something. that's on McCarthy.

Weather conditions and QB health make this a grind it out game. Stats won't be great for either team.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Just catching up. That Christine Michael sure run hard for a girl. This is a small deal, but Big Mike should have called timeout on the last series. Houston was never gonna score. Punting in these conditions is a bitch.

[beveaux1]

The defense has stepped up today.
The offense looks very average.

Weather has evened the playing field. Defense is still our Achilles.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The defense has stepped up today.
The offense looks very average.

what beveaux1 said. The offensives can hardly hold on to the ball.

[Teamcheez1]

Weather has evened the playing field. Defense is still our Achilles.

Then MM better game plan to score some more points. Running the clock out for an entire half will not be a good strategy.

[Iron Mike]

My dog is doing the running-while-sleeping thing. Which has two possible outcomes.

1) she'll start whining soon, because she can't catch what she's chasing

2) she'll slink off w/o a sound, because she farted herself awake

[gbgary]

det up on no at ht 13-6.

[beveaux1]

Then MM better game plan to score some more points. Running the clock out for an entire half will not be a good strategy.

I think we'll see a little bit more of Michael in the 2nd half. He runs hard and hits a hole hard.

[Joemailman]

Rodgers is really limited. Glad Pack isn't facing a good QB. Reduced Rodgers might be enough.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think we'll see a little bit more of Michael in the 2nd half. He runs hard and hits a hole hard.n

I know I've been beating this drum all season, but look how quick that guy looks compared to, well, you know the options. Holy shit, he looks like a professional running back!

That guy has got to be a arsonist or kid toucher or something. Why would Seattle unload such talent?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Rodgers is really limited. Glad Pack isn't facing a good QB. Reduced Rodgers might be enough.

Are you suggesting shrinkage out there today?

[red]

1) she'll start whining soon, because she can't catch what she's chasing

2) she'll slink off w/o a sound, because she farted herself awake

LOL, were would we be without dogs?

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers is really limited. Glad Pack isn't facing a good QB. Reduced Rodgers might be enough.

Then put in Hundley.

[Rutnstrut]

I think we'll see a little bit more of Michael in the 2nd half. He runs hard and hits a hole hard.

That would be conventional wisdom. So stubby will have Starks in.

[red]

yup, starks back in

cause thats working

[Teamcheez1]

I guess our plan is to attempt to run out the clock.

[red]

i think that sack was on rodgers, he dropped back to far, right into the circle pass rush from both sides

[Iron Mike]

Welp, at least we don't have to watch the shit-fest that must be CHI vs. SF.....

[red]

I guess our plan is to attempt to run out the clock.

why change what you've always done?

we have the lead in the second half. what more could you ask for?

[Teamcheez1]

I will be shocked if Stubby has a plan to put the Texans away.

[Rutnstrut]

I guess our plan is to attempt to run out the clock.

Well of course. With their awesome D and a huge 7 point lead, that's the smart thing to do. Plus the way Starks is running the ball, this game is in the bag.

[gbgary]

Packers can't let hou hang. need more points.

[red]

Welp, at least we don't have to watch the shit-fest that must be CHI vs. SF.....

why, is that game only 6-0 with only 110 yards of offense?

[beveaux1]

D needs to keep playing.

[ThunderDan]

Lowry with the deflection.

[red]

hou hang

was that the kid from goonies and indiana jones?

[beveaux1]

Lowry! He'd have intercepted if his arms were longer.

[red]

jeff fisher celebrating his new contract by getting shutout in new england

[ThunderDan]

Jake Ryan back in but playing with a big hitch in his get-e-up.

[red]

lets hope the badgers didn't rub off on the packers

[Teamcheez1]

D needs to keep playing.

That is not a good bet.

[gbgary]

well...dbs letting guys run again.

[red]

perry back too

[red]

well...dbs letting guys run again.

prevent D

[Teamcheez1]

I wonder which team made adjustments for the second half?

[gbgary]

det gets a fg. 16-6 over no.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Lowry - you can't stop him, you can only hope to contain him

[Teamcheez1]

Osweiler out playing Rodgers.

[ThunderDan]

I think I would take the FG if I am Houston.

[red]

kaepernick is 1-4 for 4 yards so far today, the game is in the 3rd quarter

[red]

I think I would take the FG if I am Houston.

they got us on the ropes

[beveaux1]

Great throw and catch.

[gbgary]

shit

[Iron Mike]

Wow, that HOU play call was quite McCarthyesque....

[Rutnstrut]

I think I would take the FG if I am Houston.

why, no way GB stops them.

[ThunderDan]

Horrible push off not called.

[Teamcheez1]

We look like crap again. Soft D and predictable O.

[Rastak]

kaepernick is 1-4 for 4 yards so far today, the game is in the 3rd quarter

Good to hear.

[beveaux1]

Man, was that offensive pass interference.

[red]

i love mike looking at the screen "what went wrong"?

your defense sucks mike, and your hero capers is the big reason for it

[Cheesehead Craig]

Nice pushoff. Good to know that won't be called

[red]

Man, was that offensive pass interference.

yup, pretty obvious one

[ThunderDan]

Wow, I could get open in the NFL if I was allowed to shove like that.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Man, was that offensive pass interference.

probably you are right, but don't they let some hand fighting go near the line of scrimmage?

[beveaux1]

Starks needs to sit. Time to play Michael or the WRs at RB.

[Iron Mike]

That was the shittiest Lambeau Leap I've ever seen.....

[beveaux1]

probably you are right, but don't they let some hand fighting go near the line of scrimmage?

That was in the end zone.

[ThunderDan]

i love mike looking at the screen "what went wrong"?

your defense sucks mike, and your hero capers is the big reason for it

Packers covered the primary WR and had the Texans stopped Of not for blatant OPI. Not sure what else Capers can do there.

[ThunderDan]

Good kick return.

[red]

nice return monty

[pittstang5]

Piss poor defense!!!

[red]

Packers covered the primary WR and had the Texans stopped Of not for blatant OPI. Not sure what else Capers can do there.

not let the team march right down the field to get into that position?

[Iron Mike]

Fuck yeah, that Henning's cheese rocks balls!!!!

[Rutnstrut]

nice return monty

Now lets hope stubby and the O can take advantage of it.

[red]

That was the shittiest Lambeau Leap I've ever seen.....

like something out of a bad porno

[Rutnstrut]

not let the team march right down the field to get into that position?

My thoughts as well.

[Teamcheez1]

Stupid play call.

[pittstang5]

Good Grief!!!! Cmon Offense! Let's GO!!!!

[pittstang5]

This playcalling is beyond aggravating.

[pittstang5]

God Fuckin Damn it!!!!

[red]

god damnit

[ThunderDan]

This better by a time out.

[red]

what do we do here when we can't run?

go for the bomb?

just try and get them to jump? that old sneaky play

[channtheman]

Just tuned in at the start of Houston's scoring drive. So have we already abandoned the short quick passing game that worked so well? This drive we have a bomb to a double covered guy, a run, and one pass that should have been on 1st and 10, not 3rd and 10.

[pittstang5]

NOOOO Don't go for it!!!

[pittstang5]

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[channtheman]

Short. Ripkowski didn't even look for a hole, he just barreled into a wall of bodies. Looked like he had the first down if he cut to the right.

[ThunderDan]

I can't believe we went for it.

[pbmax]

That time he should have cut back.

One official likes the run.

[Teamcheez1]

Another stupid play call by MM.
WTF are you handing it off to Ripkowski?

[Rastak]

Crazy decision. 2 yards and run it in the snow?

[pbmax]

Just tuned in at the start of Houston's scoring drive. So have we already abandoned the short quick passing game that worked so well? This drive we have a bomb to a double covered guy, a run, and one pass that should have been on 1st and 10, not 3rd and 10.

They moved to press man. Its not working like it did earlier.

[pittstang5]

this is how you lose games.

[red]

jesus christ, you fucking moron, and that was a great spot for us

did they not paint the G on the field this week, or did it just come off with the snow?

[Rutnstrut]

Boy that stubby is an awesome coach. He should get coach of the century.

[pbmax]

If Packers lose this its because McCarthy game planned to run when short down and distance and he refused to budge because of Rodger's injury.

[channtheman]

They moved to press man. Its not working like it did earlier.

I see. Conditions of the game probably aren't helping our receivers any either.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Houston's been the best run defense for the last half dozen games or so. We've run nowhere this game and Stubby runs it on a straight handoff. He's gonna keep screwing around till we lose this one.

[pbmax]

Did someone say Perry is back?

[gbgary]

I see. Conditions of the game probably aren't helping our receivers any either.

their receivers are getting open.

[channtheman]

3rd and long, the Packer D kryptonite. Time to give up a 20 yard pass.

[red]

i thought pennel was suspended again

[Iron Mike]

C'mon NO....start your rally!!!!

[pittstang5]

Wining on 2nd and 1st down...but losing big on 3rd down. SMH!

[channtheman]

3rd and long, the Packer D kryptonite. Time to give up a 20 yard pass.

Or a 15 yard run. Wow, we are bad.

[gbgary]

omg

[Cheesehead Craig]

Unfuckingbelievable

[Teamcheez1]

Horrible defense.

[ThunderDan]

No no no no no no no no no no no no.

[red]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

3rd ans 12. they easily run for it

[pittstang5]

3rd and 12 on a draw!!!!!!!!!!!

[pbmax]

Houston's been the best run defense for the last half dozen games or so. We've run nowhere this game and Stubby runs it on a straight handoff. He's gonna keep screwing around till we lose this one.

I both hope Phil was right that it was an audible, but fear what that would mean if Rodgers doesn't trust the throw.

Pitiful.

Joe Thomas got caught inside.

[channtheman]

their receivers are getting open.

Our guys are probably worse, was my thinking.

[red]

No no no no no no no no no no no no.

like i was saying

capers

[gbgary]

were going to lose this game.

[pittstang5]

Need a turnover!!!!!

[Maxie the Taxi]

Great pass defense...a drop. lol

[channtheman]

3rd and 5, we might stop them on this harder to defend play. Our 3rd and long defense seems really bad this year. I wonder what the conversion rate is for our D in those situations.

[ThunderDan]

How isn't that OPI, I know it was within 5 yards but that was an arm bar.

[pittstang5]

Field position. we're screwed

[Harlan Huckleby]

OT will be fun

[pbmax]

At least Osweiler is terrible.

[Fosco33]

A limited mobility Rodgers and odd overcomitment to the run parsed with inconsistent defense... 7 straight missed 3rd downs. Fucking annoyed with this tean

[beveaux1]

Defense is our Achilles. That and our running attack.

[Joemailman]

This is why MM should have punted. Field position is huge in a game like this.

[pbmax]

How isn't that OPI, I know it was within 5 yards but that was an arm bar.

Steratore's crew is usually flag happy but they don't call much interference.

[Teamcheez1]

Run, run, pass, punt.

[ThunderDan]

If we punted and got the Texans out like we did, we would be starting around the 35 not on the 2.

[Iron Mike]

Need a turnover!!!!!

We need about 5 turnovers...... :(

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Pitiful. I wanna be a good fan but damn, the packers are really really boring to watch.

[Teamcheez1]

Another stupid play your call.

[pbmax]

OK, what happened to the offensive design here?

Drop five steps in end zone and throw deep away was the best option?

[channtheman]

Pitiful. I wanna be a good fan but damn, the packers are really really boring to watch.

Yeah 4.0 YPA gets really boring, and when an 8 yard pass on 2nd and 10 is something to get excited about... yawn.

[pbmax]

Thank you for playing zone.

[pittstang5]

great 3rd and 1...let's run it up the middle. NOOO, let's run it sideways!!!

[ThunderDan]

Nice quick throw and catch. More please.

[Iron Mike]

Well, that was an awesome play choice......

[Teamcheez1]

We should have run Starks

[pbmax]

Nice quick off tackle. Of course, it was a WR running which is why it worked.

[ThunderDan]

Nice tackle and entry into the concussion protocol.

[red]

they need to get all the fake shit off the field while the play is happening if players are gonna keep fading in and out

[gbgary]

Montgomery and Michael seem like they're the only ones who can run for us and neither gets any trys.

[ThunderDan]

Horrible call.

[Harlan Huckleby]

that hurts

[pittstang5]

This game sucks soo much.

Fuckin imploding!!!

[pbmax]

Cincy is making the Offenses performance against the Philly D look less impressive.

[Iron Mike]

How 'bout if JJ Watt signs with the Packers?? Then he can play at Lambeau 8x a year....

[Cheesehead Craig]

Rodgers had all sorts of room to run

[Teamcheez1]

This offense is bad today. Let's run 40 yard patterns.

[red]

long slow developing pass plays are back

[pbmax]

That was on Rodgers. Adams was open on second move and he waived him deeper.

[Rutnstrut]

Told you the fraud would start dropping them again.

[gbgary]

cook was open on previous play.

[ThunderDan]

Good pitch and catch.

[Rutnstrut]

Rodgers had all sorts of room to run

He's gunshy.

[pbmax]

Adams block completely unnecessary.

[Teamcheez1]

Told you the fraud would start dropping them again.

Most of this is on Rodgers. He only wants the home run ball.

[pbmax]

He's gunshy.

He's also gimpy. He has not gone full speed yet. That hamstring is not healed.

[red]

Cincy is making the Offenses performance against the Philly D look less impressive.

nope, everyone said the offense was totally fixed after last week, we can't take that back now

[Maxie the Taxi]

Most of this is on Rodgers. He only wants the home run ball.Yup, and in sloppy conditions. Stupid.

[Rutnstrut]

He's also gimpy. He has not gone full speed yet. That hamstring is not healed.

If he will not play all out, he should ride the bench.

[channtheman]

Nice play by Adams! He didn't step out?

[Cheesehead Craig]

The Fraud!

[pittstang5]

Coming back is my guess

[pbmax]

Kid has huge effort. Love him.

[gbgary]

Adams!!

[channtheman]

Dang, he did by a toe.

[red]

he was out right where he caught it

[pbmax]

SO CLOSE!

[Iron Mike]

Bwahahahahahaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!

[pittstang5]

He's also gimpy. He has not gone full speed yet. That hamstring is not healed.

And it probably won't, he needs to rest and can't

[pbmax]

If he will not play all out, he should ride the bench.

Yes, the history of the passing game in the NFL in the last 40 years is that the backup is better than a gimpy starter.

[ThunderDan]

If he will not play all out, he should ride the bench.

You are an idiot.

You talk about pussy o meters and here is a guy gutting it out and you bitch.

[red]

he passed up the easy throw again to run it and hurt the hamstring worse

[pittstang5]

WOW!!!!! WIDE OPEN!!!!

[channtheman]

Finally a different teams defense inexplicably left our WR wide open!!!!!!!!!

[gbgary]

yes!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

There you go! 98 yd drive.

[beveaux1]

Nelson TD!

[Iron Mike]

Anyone else surprised Rodgers didn't wipe out Cook's knee????

[pbmax]

See, deep throwing is easy :lol:

[red]

nice coverage texans lol

wide open

[ThunderDan]

Yup, yet hat loser ARod should bench himself. He is costing the team the game.

[Teamcheez1]

Looked like our pass defense.

[Harlan Huckleby]

just like the old days

[channtheman]

And the Saints go marching on! Down 6 to the Kittens.

[gbgary]

19-13 det...

[red]

dude fell down trying to grab on to jordy

[channtheman]

There you go! 98 yd drive.

No kidding. Pretty amazing drive.

[Teamcheez1]

Yup, yet hat loser ARod should bench himself. He is costing the team the game.

He is not playing that well.

[pbmax]

98 yard, terrible looking drive for a TD.

back on track.

[ThunderDan]

Nice draw again by Mason.

[ThunderDan]

He is not playing that well.

He is head and shoulders better than anyone else on the team or most teams for that matter.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Kuuuuuhn!

[Joemailman]

Told you the fraud would start dropping them again.

I take it you're generally regarded as the life of the party.

[Rutnstrut]

Yup, yet hat loser ARod should bench himself. He is costing the team the game.

It's much easier when the other team plays D like the Packers do. Too bad it doesn't happen more often.

[beveaux1]

Elliott!

[pbmax]

Original fuckdoggle!!

[ThunderDan]

Elliott, nice ST tackle.

[Joemailman]

Great ST taackle by Elliott.

[Teamcheez1]

He is head and shoulders better than anyone else on the team or most teams for that matter.

Your point?

[pbmax]

Alright, nice hit Rollins.

[ThunderDan]

Perfect form tackle by Rollins.

[Iron Mike]

Wow, is my feed behind. Just saw the Rollins tackle. :(

[beveaux1]

Gunter

[gbgary]

need a stop...

[channtheman]

Craptastic Packer defense at it again. Could they please get a stop?

[Teamcheez1]

Back to the prevent defense.

[gbgary]

why are they killing us on the run?

[pbmax]

Thomas and Jones both went inside and no one had the contain.

[ThunderDan]

Your point?

We have a poster here who bitches how "soft" our team is and here is ARod gutting it out and he bitches he should ride the pine. He is better playing hurt than most QBs even having an off day in shitty weather.

[Iron Mike]

Man, is Datone Jones doing anything out there besides sucking for air???

[pbmax]

Nice job Guion picking up screen guy.

[channtheman]

3rd down. Huge play. The players disappearing behind the graphics is getting really annoying.

[ThunderDan]

Block in the. Back on Texans, exactly what Adams did and not called.

[gbgary]

yes

[beveaux1]

Hyde!

[pbmax]

Hyde with a play.

[Teamcheez1]

We have a poster here who bitches how "soft" our team is and here is ARod gutting it out and he bitches he should ride the pine. He is better playing hurt than most QBs even having an off day in shitty weather.

So far he hasn't looked all that good for three quarters, hurt or not.

[channtheman]

Great stop. Now go 90 yards in 8 minutes and put this game away.

[gbgary]

time for the 8 minute offense.

[pbmax]

Have a Cobb comment but do not want to jinx in game.

Everyone guess instead.

I will call hot or cold.

[pbmax]

time for the 8 minute offense.

As long as it doesn't look like the 4 minute offense.

[Joemailman]

Nice job Guion picking up screen guy.

Glad the guy caught it.

[Rutnstrut]

We have a poster here who bitches how "soft" our team is and here is ARod gutting it out and he bitches he should ride the pine. He is better playing hurt than most QBs even having an off day in shitty weather.

Before that last drive Rodgers was very obviously not playing as hard as he could. Hurt or not, they are at a point in their season where every game is essentially a playoff game. There is no going half or 3/4, if he can't or won't go all out he is a liability. Playing hurt does not mean you don't play hard, Rodgers was holding back.

[ThunderDan]

So far he hasn't looked all that good for three quarters, hurt or not.

He is 18/27 for 160 and 2 TDs in a snowstorm. MM should let him throw more and stop the silly Stark runs.

[pbmax]

We have a poster here who bitches how "soft" our team is and here is ARod gutting it out and he bitches he should ride the pine. He is better playing hurt than most QBs even having an off day in shitty weather.

Yes. We have an odd overlap between the team/coach/GM is soft and the player shouldn't be playing hurt crowd.

[pbmax]

Glad the guy caught it.

He should get an assist.

[Teamcheez1]

Run Starks more.

[channtheman]

What a nice run there. Really nice little move to get the first.

[gbgary]

Monty again.

[pbmax]

Monty and Cobb are clones mentally as well as physically.

[Rutnstrut]

So is Michael in the doghouse for some reason?

[MadScientist]

Good thing the clock doesn't stop on out of bounds with more than 5 minutes left.

[red]

Have a Cobb comment but do not want to jinx in game.

Everyone guess instead.

I will call hot or cold.

at this point cobb is nothing more then a dependable return guy?

[pbmax]

at this point cobb is nothing more then a dependable return guy?

luke warm

[red]

He is 18/27 for 160 and 2 TDs in a snowstorm. MM should let him throw more and stop the silly Stark runs.

i would like to see more of the short quick passing we saw last week

but you can't judge much of how anyone is playing in this weather

[Cheesehead Craig]

There you go Jordy!

[channtheman]

Jordy! Like old times, as someone said earlier.

[Teamcheez1]

Great catch.

[pbmax]

Nelson earning his check today.

[red]

at this point cobb is nothing more then a dependable return guy?

cobb can be let go after the year and we wouldn't miss a beat because of monty

[MadScientist]

Hell of a catch by Jordy

[Cheesehead Craig]

A Janis sighting!

[pbmax]

I have the fourth best lag apparently.

[ThunderDan]

Nice end around to Jamis.

[pbmax]

JANIS!

[red]

terrible block by dickrod

tries to stick his ass out and falls over backwards

[Teamcheez1]

Our new RB for next game.

[beveaux1]

Ripper!!!

[ThunderDan]

Touchdown Rip!!!!

[Rutnstrut]

Pad level.

[Cheesehead Craig]

The Ripper can't jump the wall.

[MadScientist]

Give it to Janis on the reverse. No problem with running the wrong route there.

And Rip bulls his way in.

[pbmax]

Five man TD score, they slid into the end zone.


:lol:

[channtheman]

Rodgers is amped!
