The Official Packers - Giants Gameday Thread Act 2

[ThunderDan]

Well, it's 4am in the morning and I am on a bus to the start of the Disneyworld Marathon.

AROD guaranteed 6 wins,to finish the season. Now for another 4 game run to win the big prize.

Packers win 31-22 and move on to Dallas.

[vince]

Yeah baby. Good luck with the run!

[George Cumby]

"Enjoy" the 26.2, Dan. And the post run beer!

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

Yeah Dan, good luck, ran all my life but never did a marathon, very nice. If you complete marathon, packers will win, its ordained.

[jklowan]

I'll go with 24-17 Pack, Dix with a late int to seal the w

[pbmax]

Good luck Dan!

Packers win 24-14.

[Fritz]

Good luck Dan!

Packers win 24-14.

Not sure what makes you all think this will be any different than 2011. Packers have a humming offense, Giants have an excellent defense. Defense wins.

[Zool]

Not sure what makes you all think this will be any different than 2011. Packers have a humming offense, Giants have an excellent defense. Defense wins.

Tell that to the Vikings

Packers 28 Giants 23

[Fritz]

You are all way overconfident. Giants' offense is better than Minnesota's was.

[RashanGary]

You are all way overconfident. Giants' offense is better than Minnesota's was.

Damn it fritz, we don't want realism today. It's game day. We envision stomping our opponents on game day. We don't talk about losing until it's happened and then we envision how to best stomp our opponent next time around!

[vince]

Good news...

Brian Franey ESPN Producer

A source tells ESPN's Sal Paolantonio that the Packers expect to have fullback Aaron Ripkowski against the Giants, even though he injured his shoulder in practice on Saturday and was added to the injury report as questionable. Aaron Rodgers told coaches he wants Ripkowski on the field on third down for blitz pickup.

[George Cumby]

Not sure what makes you all think this will be any different than 2011. Packers have a humming offense, Giants have an excellent defense. Defense wins.

You're all doom and gloom these days.

[Tony Oday]

We lose 35-20. No real chance in this game.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

We losended 35-20. No real chance in this game.

WTF!! I wish a pox on u. :-)

[pbmax]

Now if bobble shows up to make the obligatory reply, we should be all set.

red will show up after the first three and out to declare the team isn't ready and McCarthy should be fired during the next commercial break.

Bretsky shows up at halftime to declare all is lost and only the Young Pup Wolf can save the franchise from sliding into the Fox River. Somehow we will work Odell Thurman and Chad Jackson into conversation.

Harvey shows up to slip Bretsky some Benadryl so he sleeps through the 3rd Quarter. Also makes 3 points that give you just enough to continue to hope. He will also predict a Kerridge touchdown that somehow happens.

Patler will pop in at halftime to remind us that the rule that just boned the Packers was a modification of a previous rule that previously boned the Packers. He will also be curt because his attention is divided between the Packers game and a junior league hockey game in Manitoba.

Someone, I honestly don't remember which poster, will have switched from Living Room to Garage to Car to basement, looking to change the team's luck.

I will get four calls from work. If the score is within 2 touchdowns, they all get ignored.

[pbmax]

Also Fritz will continue to be very pessimistic, as he is almost certainly right. :D

Zool shows up in 4th Quarter to tell everyone that arguing on the internet is for fools. This will be his 12,000th post on PackerRats.

[Teamcheez1]

We losended 35-20. No real chance in this game.

The Giants haven't scored more than 28 points in a single game this season and average 19.4 points per game.

Don't forget that Red also needs to post multiple pictures of scantily-clad young women in the opposing team's scanty fan garb.

You'll also all be saying "Geez, Fritz was right" when we're all posting after the loss next week on the "Who Should Be Fired?" thread.

[Tony Oday]

The Giants haven't scored more than 28 points in a single game this season and average 19.4 points per game.

They get to throw against out D now.

[esoxx]

This just in: Marshall Newhouse is still starting at RT.

Packers in a walkover 31-12.

If they somehow lose, heads need to roll. That's for you Fritz :lol:

Hell yeah, bring on the scantily clad ladies. Not sure I can do anything about it at my age, but they are still nice to look at.

[red]

giants WR's are waaaaaay better then what the lions had, and they destroyed us

this is gonna be a shootout, and we're gonna need to score a ton today

[pbmax]

Marshall Newhouse should cure Matthews aching shoulder.

[pbmax]

giants WR's are waaaaaay better then what the lions had, and they destroyed us

Please post pics.

[red]

Please post pics.

i only did that once this year, i'm not sure it had much effect

and i don't want to jinx anything

[Patler]

I nominate Joe Kerridge for the Fuckdoggle award, for stepping in after Ripkowski plays one snap and goes to the locker room.

[red]

Marshall Newhouse should cure Matthews aching shoulder.

i don't know if anyone can cure whatever is going on with clay

all i know is that he's not the same dominate player that he once was

[pbmax]

Did it result in a win?

[Freak Out]

This is what I'm thinking as well. Giants D is tough.....gonna be a war.

[ThunderDan]

Just finished the run. It took about 10 minutes longer than I wanted to but it was 38 degrees and 20 mph winds. There was a wind chill advisory for Orlando this morning. A lot of people were jealous of my winter coat until I had to check it at bag check.

Ran into a ton of Packer fans during the race and after.

Time for some cocktails and putting my feet up.

[texaspackerbacker]

Defense wins games ....... however, the guy who originally wrote that never saw Aaron Rodgers.

The Giants receivers versus the walking wounded Packer DBs: another reason to choose the Giants ........ however, that doesn't take into account the brilliance of Dom Capers at scheming and compensating. I expect more zone D than maybe we have ever seen from the Packers - but if that's not how he does it, he'll figure something else out.

The Packers are gonna win this game, you can bank on that. Our offense and particularly our passing game is gonna make the high price Giants D look ordinary. If they load up to stop the pass, Montgomery is gonna run on them.

Packers 34 Giants 24 and 1 Giants TD will be late and meaningless.

I just Googled it; Bear Bryant probably originated that quote, so it's safe to say he never did see Aaron Rodgers.

[Maxie the Taxi]

The journey continues unabated.

Ty Montgomery scores 18 points. Josh Hawkins has a pick six.

Packers 37 Giants 0

[Bossman641]

Packers take it 24-17. Congrats thunder dan

Packers 37 Giants 0

Packers 37 Giants 0 huh? I wonder who else is old enough to remember what that brings to mind?

[BZnDallas]

This ones easy. Game ends in a 27-27 TIE. Going forward McCarthy takes control with McAdoo as his assistant, again. Packers Offense with OBJ combined with the Giants Defense with Clay and Nick. Team is renamed just for the remainder of this season as the New Bay Pack-Ants. They go on to destroy Dallas and Atlanta in the NFC and beat KC in Super Bowl 51 with an eerily familiar 35-10 score.

Great job, Dan! 38 in Orlando, lol! Not exactly the conditions the race promoters were using to sell their race. How many marathons for you, now?

[gbgary]

it's 12* and pretty much no wind in Green Bay.

[ThunderDan]

Great job, Dan! 38 in Orlando, lol! Not exactly the conditions the race promoters were using to sell their race. How many marathons for you, now?
2 full marathons this fall/winter. I did an ironman in 2005.

[gbgary]

i don't know if anyone can cure whatever is going on with clay

all i know is that he's not the same dominate player that he once was

surgery on his shoulder will fix it.

[gbgary]

2 full marathons this fall/winter. I did an ironman in 2005.

:shock: cool! (no pun intended...this time)

[George Cumby]

surgery on his shoulder will fix it.

And some anabolic steroids.

[ThunderDan]

:shock: cool! (no pun intended...this time)
Running in laye Oct in the rain in Middleton was warner than marathon today by a,lot.

[pbmax]

And some anabolic steroids.

That's what screwed up the soft tissue in the first place!

[George Cumby]

:-P

[bobblehead]

Obligatory game day post.

I just got a phone call from a friend non poster and was told Pb was "guilt/jinxing" me into this.

I think the Pack will win. I'm done listening to all the nay-sayers.

Almost as good as the bat-signal.

[pbmax]

Pennell still on reserve/suspended list.

[SMBASS]

Finished my chores so I'm ready to get this party started! Go Pack!

[Harlan Huckleby]

We lose 35-20. No real chance in this game.

That's a good prediction, even if it is tongue in butt cheek.

The Packers secondary is on the fritz, apologies to fritz.

But on the other hand... Eli ain't all that. Packers might just win the track meet.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Finished my chores so I'm ready to get this party started! Go Pack!

Still doing tricks this late into Sunday?

[pbmax]

Packers favored now by 5 or 5.5 points, some of the books still have 4 to 4.5 but I think its moved up.

[SMBASS]

Still doing tricks this late into Sunday?

A guy's gotta do whatever it takes to pay the bills! The Sunday after church geriatric clientele are tough to please!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

A little on edge but hopeful. PACKERS 30, GIANTS 20

[Fritz]

That's a good prediction, even if it is tongue in butt cheek.

But on the other hand... Eli ain't all that. Packers might just win the track meet.


You funny man.

Here we go!

[channtheman]

Blowout trend set by Steelers today continues with the Pack. 31-17 Packers and it only looks that close due to a late Giants TD. Lets go Packers! WOOOO!

[Netmag]

They noted that last year the road team won the wild card games. This year, so far, all the wildcard games have been won easily by the home team (almost like lopsided college games really). Let's hope we can finish this round in the same manner. I know it seems almost impossible given the way we play with every game riding on an awesome play at the end, but let's hope they make it boring just like the other games this week and are NOT the notable exception.

[Harlan Huckleby]

A guy's gotta do whatever it takes to pay the bills! The Sunday after church geriatric clientele are tough to please!

I hear ya - they are lousy tippers.

[gbgary]

GoPackGo

[red]

fucking deferred again

why not let the strength of you team come out and set the tone?

[Guiness]

Cruz! I knew he was going to be trouble today.

[channtheman]

After 2 runs, the Giants have found they can just pass against this defense. It's gonna be a long day.

[red]

2 throws, 2 guys WIDE OPEN

[gbgary]

that pass to obj could be seen a mile away.

[pbmax]

Gunter is following Beckham.

[red]

troy, our defense will make any o-line look good

[Harlan Huckleby]

defense bringing playoff intensity.

[channtheman]

Lucky us for the drop! Pressure started to get to Eli but the throw was on point.

[pbmax]

Wow, safeties double Beckham. Weird so far. Must be mixing it up.

[beveaux1]

Good TO

[Harlan Huckleby]

credit where credit due - for once fat mike calls a great TO

[red]

i don't understand why the defense never jumps when the QB yells out an audible and the whole line stands up and turns around

wouldn't/shouldn't that be a false start?

[pbmax]

Love that they are punting.

[channtheman]

Good on MM to be aware our guy wasn't getting off the field and call a TO to preserve the stop. Bad on the guy who wasn't off the field on a punt.

[red]

credit where credit due - for once fat mike calls a great TO

he's pry pissed that he doesn't get to piss that one away later in the quarter

[Harlan Huckleby]

dumb fucker

[pbmax]

Stop fair catching at the five!

[Teamcheez1]

Why even fair catch that at the 5?

[beveaux1]

Glad he caught it.

[pbmax]

i don't understand why the defense never jumps when the QB yells out an audible and the whole line stands up and turns around

wouldn't/shouldn't that be a false start?

O lineman have to come set first. Not sure when that is in two point stance.

[gbgary]

I'm glad they passed on the fg.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I get mad at fair catches inside the 15. Inside the 10 are cause for benching. Inside 5 - send to locker room.

[Netmag]

yeah, maybe we shoulda just started on O. Instead we kind of just iced our O and used our D to warm theirs up.

[pbmax]

I get mad at fair catches inside the 15. Inside the 10 are cause for benching. Inside 5 - send to locker room.

Rules for players must have changed with Aussie-style punts.

[beveaux1]

Not much pressure on the QB.

[red]

I'm glad they passed on the fg.

gonna be tough to kick today, and its only gonna get worse

correction, its gonna hurt to kick today

[pbmax]

i would have bet the farm they ran there. Lucky to get 1.

[Harlan Huckleby]

soft hands jared

[red]

I get mad at fair catches inside the 15. Inside the 10 are cause for benching. Inside 5 - send to locker room.

being at the 5 is better then being at the 1

and they had coverage down there

[pbmax]

Tough catch.

[channtheman]

Bad throw, Cook had his guy beat.

Also, hard to believe Cook was the "open" guy on the previous play. He got nailed by two guys. Not nice of his QB to lead him into that.

[gbgary]

we needed 2

[Harlan Huckleby]

DB had an interception right there

[pbmax]

DRC is out for Giants.

Cook was open by 2 steps but underthrown.

[red]

damn, bad throw.

if he sets his feet and gets some air under it, its a huge gain

[Teamcheez1]

Need 2 and throw it 40 dumbass.

[gbgary]

Bad throw, Cook had his guy beat.

it was into the wind. that's why I was glad they passed on the fg.

[red]

DRC is out for Giants.

Cook was open by 2 steps but underthrown.

maybe concussion? lets hope

be nice if the other teams DBs were depleted too

[beveaux1]

We're really going to need the D today.

[pbmax]

Giants ran combo route to get Cruz open for his catch. Let's see if Packers get to that today. Nothing in first 2 throws.

[pbmax]

maybe concussion? lets hope

be nice if the other teams DBs were depleted too

Limping. Even better, he will be hampered and try to play.

[Harlan Huckleby]

being at the 5 is better then being at the 1

and they had coverage down there

The chances of coverage downing a punt that lands inside the 10 are minimal. Coverage guys who catch ball in the air near 5 get hero's welcome from coach.

[red]

LOL, fuck that fit bit type ad

thats me. take off running until you wear out and you look at your fucking watch to find out you only ran .03 miles

[channtheman]

I hope the Giants keep wasting a play or 2 on runs. Gives our D a chance at a lucky stop.

[Guiness]

Giants seem to be committed to the run.

[channtheman]

This is perfect. 3rd and short. Giants might run it again and get stuffed.

[Harlan Huckleby]

boom!

[channtheman]

Ugh. Giants could abandon run and pass all day. The ONLY thing stopping them, is their own drops.

[Netmag]

didn't even turn around. What is this college football?

[pbmax]

Unreal. Packers always make mediocre playoff QBs look great with single coverage.

Gunter on Beckham.

[Cheesehead Craig]

2 drops for ODB. that won't continue

[Harlan Huckleby]

Micah Hyde and Gunter are targets of opportunity

[red]

it was into the wind. that's why I was glad they passed on the fg.

is there wind?

oh yeah, 8 mph straight out of the south

[gbgary]

come on Dom!

[Rutnstrut]

Zero pass rush, Clay just leans on people and gives up.

[Teamcheez1]

Haven't covered a single receiver in this game yet.

[red]

good coverage hyde

[Teamcheez1]

Hyde is terrible. They just run right by him.

[pbmax]

Shooting gallery so far in secondary.

Not run dedication on this drive.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ball was a little underthrown, allowe hyde to catch up

[Guiness]

Hyde and Randall both not getting their heads around on the throws.

[Harlan Huckleby]

good coverage hyde

sorry, not really

[red]

COVER THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

giving them a free 7 yards on second down isn't a win

[Cheesehead Craig]

That's 4 drops

[beveaux1]

We look very overmatched on defense.

[red]

sorry, not really

good play?

he did help knock the ball out and save 4 points

[pbmax]

THAT is what you do to Eli.

You want him to throw into coverage. He is not accurate, he is Tebow with less arm.

Stop the man coverage and get everyone back.

[Fritz]

Well you idiots, I told you. Manning on fire. This Packer defense looks like shit. Like. Shit.

[gbgary]

again... they need to jam them and NO BLITZING!!

[red]

We look very overmatched on defense.

and this seems new to you?

our defense is shit and has been shit all year

offense needs to get its shit together, fast, or else this one will be over soon

[Rutnstrut]

THAT is what you do to Eli.

You want him to throw into coverage. He is not accurate, he is Tebow with less arm.

Stop the man coverage and get everyone back.

Except Tebow could run the ball pretty well. Eli, not so much.

[channtheman]

good play?

he did help knock the ball out and save 4 points

He let him get open, then recovered to save the TD. So like a C- play I guess. Not great but at least he passed.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Haven't covered a single receiver in this game yet.

pretty much. But they only got 3 points out of shooting gallery. Thank you for playing.

[red]

again... they need to jam them and NO BLITZING!!

we haven't jammed anyone all year, we aren't gonna start now

[Rutnstrut]

again... they need to jam them and NO BLITZING!!

Dom will play soft and hope for the best.

[beveaux1]

We absolutely can't play man with no deep help on these wide receivers. Hyde and Gunter aren't fast enough and Randall is still playing hurt. It looks like we're expecting them to run, and their game plan is to pass.

[Harlan Huckleby]

He let him get open, then recovered to save the TD. So like a C- play I guess. Not great but at least he passed.

recovered only because ball was underthrown

[red]

way to slow down janis

[channtheman]

NO MORE 3 AND OUTS! Let's go offense. Rodgers needs to be perfect the rest of the way, he's our only hope.

[Rutnstrut]

way to slow down janis

I really like Janis, and I'm even getting sick of his shit.

[channtheman]

recovered only because ball was underthrown

True dat.

[pbmax]

Can't double ODB every play. Need 2 safeties deep for help. Let CBs play trail coverage.

[red]

We absolutely can't play man with no deep help on these wide receivers. Hyde and Gunter aren't fast enough and Randall is still playing hurt. It looks like we're expecting them to run, and their game plan is to pass.

randall has looked terrible and lost all year, lets not start using the injury excuse for him looking bad today

[beveaux1]

Can't double ODB every play. Need 2 safeties deep for help. Let CBs play trail coverage.

I agree.

[channtheman]

I predict another 3 and out. What nice way to waste your 1st down play again.

[red]

Can't double ODB every play. Need 2 safeties deep for help. Let CBs play trail coverage.

isn't that pretty much how things turn out anyways?

[pbmax]

And this will be the Offense for the entire half.

Dammit.

[red]

all day, way to get open jordy

he was open much earlier but a-rod was already running around and looking elsewhere

[channtheman]

Offense looks completely out of sync.

[Rutnstrut]

Nice throw boy wonder.

[gbgary]

come on...play the short game.

[red]

And this will be the Offense for the entire half.

Dammit.

they went right back to what didn't wor when we were horrible, just like i feared, after it worked so well against a shit team a few weeks ago

gone are the quick hitters that got us drooling PB

[red]

well, if we can't complete a pass, we'll take the flag deep

[pbmax]

Sweet sweet route by Jordy for ball he wasn't going to get.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Not catchable

[channtheman]

YES! PI! Thank you! Not sure Jordy would have even caught that. We got a break but really need to play better. Rodgers? Come on!

[Freak Out]

WTF?

[Guiness]

Did he actually tangle Jordi's feet, or was that a bit of a dive?

[Teamcheez1]

Offense not doing anything so far.

[gbgary]

uummm...that was dumb

[red]

faked out nobody but ourselves on that super tricky play

[channtheman]

they went right back to what didn't wor when we were horrible, just like i feared, after it worked so well against a shit team a few weeks ago

gone are the quick hitters that got us drooling PB

Yup, you and pb are right on. MM is such a dick head. Rodgers holding the ball forever. This game is over.

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers looks like absolute crap.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Throw it the fuck away

[red]

another slow developing play that ends in a sack

this is terrible so far

[pbmax]

Did he actually tangle Jordi's feet, or was that a bit of a dive?

Jordy backed into him to initiate contact like a basketball shooter.

[channtheman]

Rodgers is our only hope, and he is playing like utter crap.

[beveaux1]

Rodgers is not starting out sharp.

[red]

go for the long 1st down, not the yards and a FG attempt

[Harlan Huckleby]

bad decision on throw

[Freak Out]

Newhouse playing well. LOL

[Fritz]

Rodgers looks like shit.

[gbgary]

cook open. could have gotten a fg at at least.

[Teamcheez1]

Just when we think it's the defense that will lose the game for us, the offense is sputtering on every play.

[pbmax]

bad decision on throw

No. He was open. Bad throw.

[Zool]

Rodgers is growing everything off his back foot again. He looks like mid season form.

[channtheman]

All 4 of Manning's incompletions are drops. Yikes. 7-11 for 85 yards.

[pbmax]

cook open. could have gotten a fg at at least.

This too.

[gbgary]

game plan sucks. play the short, quick, game.

[beveaux1]

We've been discounting the Giants defense. it looks good.

[Harlan Huckleby]

No. He was open. Bad throw.

I thought is was lucky not to get picked underneath. We need to go to the tape

[Fritz]

I haven't.

[channtheman]

If by some miracle our defense holds them to a 3 and out, we could maybe get good field position to sputter away.

[red]

Just when we think it's the defense that will lose the game for us, the offense is sputtering on every play.

could be a team effort today

at least we kicked ass at the end of the season and made sure we got a crappy draft slot and keep our head idiot

[Bossman641]

Rodgers needs to hit some short balls. He had Janis on the reverse and cook on third

[SMBASS]

Out only hope is for Rodgers to get his shit together quick. I never feel good about games when he starts out like this. Kind of like those games where Bert always had that, "Deer in the headlights" look right from the start. You always knew it was going to be one of those days.

[Harlan Huckleby]

The front 7 has done their job all game

[red]

All 4 of Manning's incompletions are drops. Yikes. 7-11 for 85 yards.
thats the only thing saving us. the giants shitting the bed early

[Cheesehead Craig]

Why are they running?

[Strange Brew]

Relax peeps and have an IPA, Rodgers is only keeping it close for that big hail mary at the end.

[Rutnstrut]

We've been discounting the Giants defense. it looks good.

It CAN'T be any good. They loaded it upon free agents.

[beveaux1]

Good stop by the D. We needed the penalty.

[red]

good field position, NEED POINTS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[channtheman]

My goodness this defense is ridiculous. Almost gives up a 1st down on 3rd and 12 or whatever that was with run! Giants coach with the brain fart not throwing it that drive. Our only hope on defense is stuff like that. Rodgers really needs to get it together now.

[pbmax]

At least the penalty on Jordy turned field position around.

[red]

so fucking what if the giants hung out on a boat on their day off

[Cheesehead Craig]

Hurt Aaron was better

[Harlan Huckleby]

Thought he could have thrown ball away.

It's easy to be QB from the sofa.

[channtheman]

I think Rodgers had Cook open across the middle immediately just now. Who would have thought it would be our QB who looks like a pansy?

[beveaux1]

Another sack.

[Teamcheez1]

Both of the sacks are on Rodgers. He is lost so far.

[red]

"time ran out"

this is what happens when you don't correct an obvious problem

a QB SHOULD NOT EVER hold the ball for 8 seconds

[bobblehead]

The best LT in football has 3 whiffs this game already...just saying.

[Freak Out]

M3 needs to calm the offense down a bit. Run a draw or setup a screen....wtf.

[Harlan Huckleby]

My goodness this defense is ridiculous. Almost gives up a 1st down on 3rd and 12 o

And right after I praised the front 7. ACtually I think only the secondary has been bad. Of course, the play Mrs. Lincoln saw was excellent.

[bobblehead]

Both of the sacks are on Rodgers. He is lost so far.

No. That last one bahk 100% whiffed. Held (didn't get called) and forced rodgers back up into the pressure. NOT on Rodgers.

[pbmax]

M3 needs to calm the offense down a bit. Run a draw or setup a screen....wtf.

Play action usually does that.

But this looks like the Giants playing a scheme the Packers did not see on film.

[beveaux1]

Our defense has gone back into that 2 deep shell. Harder to pass against, easy to run against. That's why they started running the ball. They're taking what we give them. We can't do that cause we can't run.

[Rutnstrut]

M3 needs to calm the offense down a bit. Run a draw or setup a screen....wtf.

Run the ball, no way. They have Mr. RELAX run the table Rodgers.

[Teamcheez1]

People need to start booing.

[channtheman]

7 yards on offense. On pace for 28 for the game! With that last throw Rodgers clearly has his head messed up. I'm preparing for the loss right now.

[red]

WOW

7 yards in the first quarter

MVP MVP MVP

now he throws it away when he could have gotten it to adams for 2 or 3 yards

[pbmax]

OK, they ran that out of two bunches and got a guy open. But Rodgers wanted Adams to uncover and they did not read it the same.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Way to change the field position

[Guiness]

that was a huge wtf!

[beveaux1]

Another sack. Great coverage.

[esoxx]

What the hell is going on out there!!!?

[red]

thats is absolutely fucking terrible

there goes field position

[channtheman]

Yup. All the announcers and everyone loves to talk about how "good" Rodgers is when he "freestyles." But our offense actually sucks when he does that. We need to get some short passes going and now.

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers had 8 seconds to throw the ball. Sorry folks, Rodgers is responsible for these sacks.

[red]

we are now at -8 yards for the game

[beveaux1]

They are a much better team than I thought they were.

[Harlan Huckleby]

People need to start booing.

Its 3-0. The real story is Giants D is great.

[Tony Oday]

And that was a fun year. Dagger.

[red]

Rodgers had 8 seconds to throw the ball. Sorry folks, Rodgers is responsible for these sacks.

you're damn right he is, and fat mike is just as responsible

[Cheesehead Craig]

And their guys run wide open

[pbmax]

What was Burnett reading on that throw?

[pbmax]

Packers have doen scouting well on two things. Giants run game and punting.

[red]

They are a much better team than I thought they were.

or, everything bad about our team that we saw this season is showing up n this game so far

[Rutnstrut]

And their guys run wide open

Well ours would also against our D.

[channtheman]

What happened to "no one comes into our house without payin' the price" from that State Farm commercial, Rodgers? No one is paying anything right now.

[Harlan Huckleby]

nice play Ryan

[Netmag]

It's seems one sided but they still only have 3 points (at the moment). That's the only positive.

[Rutnstrut]

What happened to "no one comes into our house without payin' the price" from that State Farm commercial, Rodgers? No one is paying anything right now.

I think that just refers to his endorsements, not actual football type stuff.

[red]

"freestyling" should be a last resort

it should not be used in place of an actual gameplan

[gbgary]

And their guys run wide open

that's on dom.

[pbmax]

you're damn right he is, and fat mike is just as responsible

I actually buy your previous diagnosis. i think Rodgers is making bad reads pre snap.

But Mike is not making it easy once again. He has run a bunch to free someone up quick once.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Actual play made by the DB

[pbmax]

It's seems one sided but they still only have 3 points (at the moment). That's the only positive.

Very true. D holding together.

[Harlan Huckleby]

game on

[beveaux1]

Good job Randall.

[red]

GO GET THE BALL RANDALL

just fucking stand there and wait for the int to come to you

[channtheman]

With how this game is going, I wouldn't expect Randall to actually make the play. I mean, I wouldn't normally expect him to make it, but especially today when no one is making a play. Nope. He's not gonna be the guy to step up and get this team going.

[pbmax]

that's on dom.

Not on that drive. Burnett react to a fake or bad read of Eli's head.
