[ThunderDan]

Finally, going to head to the sadism soon. 2nd string Pack still wins. 28-10

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[Zool]

Finally, going to head to the sadism soon. 2nd string Pack still wins. 28-10

You’re going where now?

[mraynrand]

Finally, going to head to the sadism soon.

I don't think I could have come up with this if I tried, and it's a perfect line for today.

[pbmax]

:D

[beveaux1]

About ready to start.

[pbmax]

Packers defer.

[pbmax]

Short KO to goalline saves them five yards. Had not been working much.

[pbmax]

Brooks cleans up cutback, Clay barely holding the edge but did enough.

[beveaux1]

Need a little defense.

[channtheman]

Not the best start for our D against an inept offense this year...

[Rutnstrut]

So this is the Bengal offense that is so ineffective?

[pbmax]

OK, time to break down a midfield pass defense breakdown.

Dalton has time, but pocket is collapsing.

TE motions from wide to slot, Dix moves himself deep and put 27 jones up to line to cover inside zone, Martinez is other ILB, he has other side short zone.

TE and a RB I think cross. Jones correctly foes with RB as his original guy the TE runs toward Martinez side of field.

Martinez gets late break on TE and is 3 steps behind on the slowest crossing route I have seen in some time. I *think* he was reading the QB's eyes, but I am not sure why, since he doesn't have deep responsibilities and has only one man to cover.

Easy completion against typical cover 2 man. Its just ridiculous they never get better at this.

[Rutnstrut]

Not the best start for our D against an inept offense this year...

Well the Packer D is equally inept.

[jklowan]

Looks like we are picking up right where we left off last week - buckle up

[channtheman]

No TD's all year. Right down the field against us. Our D must have been tired.

[beveaux1]

What a bad series, defensively.

[channtheman]

Rodgers and the offense needs to get their act together and carry this team.

[Teamcheez1]

Same old Packers defense. The keystone cops with no one knowing where to be or what to do.

[pittstang5]

Nice start defense. What a bunch of clowns!!!

[Rutnstrut]

Rodgers and the offense needs to get their act together and carry this team.

Don't hold your breath. Rodgers has been far from sharp.

[mmmdk]

First TD by Bengals offense - "great job" Stubby and your coach minions.

[pittstang5]

No pass rush what so ever!!! Dalton has too much time. Blitz the hell out of him!!!

[beveaux1]

We're just challenged defensively. Young guys and castoffs. I expect we'll get better as the game goes on.

[channtheman]

Our secondary


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QShAhEPaD88

[Tony Oday]

And it begins.

[yetisnowman]

Our defense is the cure for an anemic offense. That was some of the worst tackling I've seen in a series from an NFL team.

[pittstang5]

you had to know that Cinci would score their first TD against this pathetic defense. However, I didn't think it would be on the first fuckin series.

Tighten up defense!!!!!

[channtheman]

They are gonna waive it off.

[Teamcheez1]

Does every play have to be a slow developing pass play?

We got bailed out.

[channtheman]

They are gonna waive it off.

Of course I could be wrong. Wasn't DPI though.

[beveaux1]

Bad call.

[Teamcheez1]

Maybe Rodgers should look for a little more solidarity with his offense.

[channtheman]

Pretty sure his forearm was down. No fumble.

[jklowan]

Loooong day rats

[pbmax]

OK, I am behind so don't get confused:

King had another man cover, receiver break inside, reacts like he has to jump outside to the boundary. Leaves WR wide open. Is he passing receiver to safety or worrying about getting a double move pulled. Easy completion.

King is on AJ Green.

RJF getting some early snaps.

King with just enough of a tackle.

King is following Green. Forces RB screen to inside and takes out blocker. Dix misses tackle on Mixon high. First down.

Martinez not deep enough and Evans let Green go by.

[pittstang5]

ARE YOU SHITTING ME.. THATS NOT A FUMBLE!!!!!

[beveaux1]

No fumble.

[channtheman]

Yeah, down by contact. Pretty obvious. Announcers are clueless. It's not close. It's obvious his arm hits and the ball pops out. That is so incredibly obvious. These announcers. Wow.

[yetisnowman]

He was down. Ground caused fumble.

[TravisWilliams23]

Romo is no Aikman.

[pittstang5]

HE WAS DOWN!!! Im gonna be so pissed if this stands!!!!

[TravisWilliams23]

Correct call.

[channtheman]

Duh. I have no idea how announcers could not see that. It was really one of the easiest reviews I've seen in a while.

[jklowan]

home team call...I'll take it

[channtheman]

home team call...I'll take it

???? Ball is secure. Forearm hits, ball pops out. That's never been a fumble ever.

[pittstang5]

Marvin Lewis taking a page out of MM and wasting TOs

[yetisnowman]

Side note. Great move to get to the pile on by davante. This guy needs to stfu. Don't risk stretching for the touchdown too risky. Moron.

[channtheman]

That was a pretty sick fake.

[pittstang5]

Wow...cool play, almost didn't work

[beveaux1]

Kendricks! Is that his first catch of the year?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Kendricks did the Wisconsin W after the leap. Nice!

[yetisnowman]

home team call...I'll take it

???????

[mmmdk]

Very nice.

[pittstang5]

ok defense. Let's get in gear!!!!

[pbmax]

LOVE THAT TD PLAY!!!


Its the Bubba Franks fall down, get up and catch TD play.

[jklowan]

why bother putting defense on the field

[channtheman]

Secondary can't hang with these wide receivers.

[pittstang5]

COVER!!!

Need a turnover!!!!

[beveaux1]

Why would you ever run? pass every play.

[jklowan]

guess we'll be drafting corner backs early again

[Cheesehead Craig]

Nice run D

[channtheman]

It's nice when teams outsmart themselves. 3rd down simply because they are running when wide receivers are running open every play. NFL coaches are morons.

[Cheesehead Craig]

The Josh Jones show

[beveaux1]

Jones!

[channtheman]

Nice defensive stop with a great assist from the Bengals with stupid play calling.

[pittstang5]

Finally some pressure

[Rutnstrut]

look what an actual pass rush can do.

[pittstang5]

nice return!!!

[beveaux1]

Fine return.

[jklowan]

okay lets go

[channtheman]

Nice return! Our offense didn't actually look very good last drive though. We benefitted form both a kickoff out of bounds and a bogus DPI penalty. Hope we can get in sync.

[gbgary]

so...minn has good d, det has a good d, chi has a good d, Packers... not so much. just got a stop though. o needs to keep scoring.

[pittstang5]

Cmon offense. Defense gets a good stop and we get a good return and now we are pissing it away!!!!

[channtheman]

Terrible series.

[pittstang5]

HORRIBLE SERIES!!!!! FUCKING HORRIBLE!!!!

[gbgary]

uummm.

[pbmax]

Well, that was a waste of a possession.

[Cheesehead Craig]

OL got owned on that series.

[pittstang5]

And a horrible Puint

[jklowan]

can this team not shoots it's feet every week?

[beveaux1]

Cincy has a pretty good defense. Not Seattle, but good.

[Teamcheez1]

Offense still looks out of sync.

[channtheman]

Why does our offense start every year so so so bad?

[pbmax]

And punting incompetence after a great punt return. No reason to keep an advantage.

[yetisnowman]

Great field position, awful series, 28 yard punt. Jesus.

[TravisWilliams23]

Why does our offense start every year so so so bad?

Perhaps not enough preseason snaps.

[channtheman]

so...minn has good d, det has a good d, chi has a good d, Packers... not so much. just got a stop though. o needs to keep scoring.

We certainly aren't the cream of the crop in the NFC North anymore, if the beginning of the season is any indication anyway. I think Detroit got robbed today too.

[pittstang5]

NEED A TURNOVER!!!!

[channtheman]

Perhaps not enough preseason snaps.

Possibly. Maybe our starters should play a bit more.

[pbmax]

Ankle Biter!

[beveaux1]

We're on the field with 6 starters from the first game of the year inactive and 2 starters at about 1/2 strength. We won't blow anybody out today.

[pittstang5]

secondary shits the bed again. COVER

[gbgary]

DB's need jump these short routes.

[pittstang5]

BLITZ, BLITZ, BLITZ

[channtheman]

Refs last week would have called that a pick.

Edit: And the ref from 40 yards in the secondary would have been the one to see it.

[Rutnstrut]

I NEVER feel confident when this D gets a 2cnd or 3rd and long. They almost always give up the 1st.

[pittstang5]

Good Lord!!!!!

[gbgary]

it's going to be a long afternoon.

[Teamcheez1]

This defense is almost unwatchable.

It is on Rodgers to win this game, not the defense.

[pbmax]

That was OPI. 2 yards downfield.

[jklowan]

GOD DAMN not another year with this shitty defense, jesus christ how can they not improve this shit

[channtheman]

This defense is almost unwatchable.

It is on Rodgers to win this game, not the defense.

And he hasn't exactly inspired confidence this game, or season for that matter.

[channtheman]

That was OPI. 2 yards downfield.


Agreed. But we got a gift DPI, so I'm gonna call it even.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That was OPI. 2 yards downfield.

It wasn't, DB ran right into him.

[Rutnstrut]

This defense is almost unwatchable.

It is on Rodgers to win this game, not the defense.

I'm not too sure that the offense is capable.

[pbmax]

Joe Thomas blown out of gap.

[channtheman]

It wasn't, DB ran right into him.

After last weeks pick calls against us, I'm as confused as ever what is legal and what is not.

[pbmax]

It wasn't, DB ran right into him.

Joe Thomas got picked by Green 2 yards downfield in open field. Had to run to him, coverage wasn't close. Ran straight into him with eyes on 48.

[pittstang5]

didn't we play cinci early in the season last time....and the time before? Why can't we play them in December?

[channtheman]

didn't we play cinci early in the season last time....and the time before? Why can't we play them in December?

Rodgers demon.

[pittstang5]

This defense sucks. so sick of it!

[pittstang5]

Fuckin Pathetic

[Cheesehead Craig]

Another time nobody covers the RB

[channtheman]

Wow. So the worst offense in the league so far looks all pro against our D. Sounds about right.

[Teamcheez1]

More keystone cops defense. Nobody has a clue.

[Rutnstrut]

SOOOO glad they kept spray paint hair.

[jklowan]

"his defense sucks. so sick of it! "

the offense isn't playin much better

[Packers4Glory]

Fucking defense still is shit

New season same ol shitty D

[pbmax]

King blew that one. He had man crossing into middle and there was a safety there. He had to bail on that and cover last man on his right with outside CB in man coverage.

[TravisWilliams23]

Hard to watch this.

[channtheman]

The whole defense is joining in now.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QShAhEPaD88

[Teamcheez1]

"his defense sucks. so sick of it! "

the offense isn't playin much better

This ^^^^. Offense has 20 yards in the game.

[pbmax]

It isn't Jones covering him. jones was ILB on left. That was the fourth receiver headed to right.

If it wasn't King's job to pass receiver and take up GB it was Martinez. Blake was ILB on right. In fact, probably Martinez missed him.

[yetisnowman]

An offense that has scored 9 pts and 0 offensive tds in 2 full games scored 14 pts in 12 minutes.

[esoxx]

Bungles moving up and down the field looking like the Greatest Show on Turf part II. If this team didn't have AR they would be 5-11. Disgraceful

[mmmdk]

TT is FA nazi - NO DEFENSE FOR YOU!

[Rutnstrut]

Maybe people will FINALLY fucking realise it's poor coaching on the defensive side. Every year Capers gets just lucky enough to satisfy those in GB that are happy with mediocrity.

[beveaux1]

We look pretty lost on defense. Lot of backups out there. Missed assignments. I also think they're tiring. Any team with Green, Bernard, Mixon, and Dalton has plenty of talent. Our defense is struggling.

[pbmax]

Tony had it right on the replay.

[pittstang5]

is that how we move the ball. trick plays...whatever, it's working

[channtheman]

Rookies need to communicate. "

DB1: "You gonna cover him?"

DB2: "Naw. You?"

DB1: "Naw."

DB2: "Sounds Good"

*fist bumps*

[pbmax]

Horrible effort by Bennett on block.

[channtheman]

There's your MVP.

[pbmax]

Stay behind your large blocker!!

[pittstang5]

Game over!!!1

[beveaux1]

Whoa.

[Teamcheez1]

All on Rodgers. He hasn't looked good this season.

[yetisnowman]

Wow....

[TravisWilliams23]

Not good. Not good at all.

[beveaux1]

Rodgers has thrown interceptions in 3 straight games. I don't think he's ever done that.

[pittstang5]

nightmare from last week continues

[esoxx]

I blame this on the Gold Package Milwaukee crowd. No crowd noise, no one into the game including Packers.

[gbgary]

at least the d gets to rest some more.

[channtheman]

We always lose to the Falcons in Atlanta and the Bungles at home. Yikes.

[yetisnowman]

That's just a ball Aaron doesn't throw.

[Rutnstrut]

What do you expect from a guy that pretends to own a dog in his commercials.

[beveaux1]

I knew this wasn't a gimme. Neither is Thursday night. Our team is playing with one hand behind its back due to injury and Cincy's defense is not bad.

[channtheman]

BRING BACK OLIVIA MUNN!

[pittstang5]

I've always been amazed that those throws like that don't get picked off. There's a team that has done their homework.

[pittstang5]

Last week was laughable! This week, I'm crying....

[channtheman]

Nice run by Rodgers. That will set up his next INT nicely.

[Rutnstrut]

There's a RB with some power.

[pbmax]

I've always been amazed that those throws like that don't get picked off. There's a team that has done their homework.

I think that CB was sitting on the out route. Either because of help OR he didn't work about the out and up.

[channtheman]

Serious question. Why do our WR never seem to be wide open, and the other teams always wide open? Opposing offenses look like what we can only remember in our dreams from our O.

[pittstang5]

OH COME ON!!!!!!!!!

[Zool]

Serious question. Why do our WR never seem to be wide open, and the other teams always wide open? Opposing offenses look like what we can only remember in our dreams from our O.

Adams was pretty damned wide open on that flicker.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Serious question. Why do our WR never seem to be wide open, and the other teams always wide open? Opposing offenses look like what we can only remember in our dreams from our O.

Stale offense from MM. We need a fresh OC from outside the org.

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers is afraid to throw the ball.

[pbmax]

Just abused Murphy on an inside counter.

[pittstang5]

Can it get worse!!!! Seriously, 3rd and long.....year after year...you gotta get rid of the ball fast!!!! Rogers, CMON!!!!!

[channtheman]

Adams was pretty damned wide open on that flicker.

Yup, that's one play. A trick one at that. Can we string together 7 or 8 of those like the Bungles?

[Rutnstrut]

Stale offense from MM. We need a fresh OC from outside the org.

YES!!!!! I have wanted a REAL OC for a long time now.

[pittstang5]

Waste of time watching this shit, but it's like a car accident, I can't turn away.

[jklowan]

can we play against our defense in the 2nd half?

[channtheman]

It's not very fun watching this team when our offense doesn't do anything. Ay ay ay.

[Teamcheez1]

The offense is playing just as poorly as last week. 79 yards of total offense.

[Gotarace]

This is exactly what we didn't need...throw the pigskin brother

[Rutnstrut]

Rodgers is afraid to throw the ball.

It doesn't help that almost every pass play is a long developing one.

[pbmax]

Michael Cohen‏ @Michael_Cohen13

Interesting that Quinten Rollins has not played at all on defense yet. #Packers have used Josh Hawkins as a sub for Damarious Randall.

[Teamcheez1]

Dalton with a 146.7 QB rating in the game.

[Zool]

It's not very fun watching this team. Ay ay ay.

FIFY

[Freak Out]

Brutal.

[pbmax]

Dear Lord, someone beat a block.

[Zool]

This is one shitty D performance

[channtheman]

FIFY

True. A boring low scoring game of crap offense in the opener followed by 2 blowouts.

[Teamcheez1]

The defense has completely folded.

This team has completely folded in the first half.

[pbmax]

Jones can do run support.

[channtheman]

You want the D to get a stop, but does it really matter? Offense won't do anything with the ball anyway.

[beveaux1]

Stop on D.

[channtheman]

If we can score a TD here before half, we start with the ball and can tie it up! Hey, a man can dream, right?

Now for this team to immediately dash my hopes.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Romo is doing a great job.

[Teamcheez1]

This game is on the offense. Can Rodgers do anything?

[denverYooper]

Romo is doing a great job.

He is kind of fun to listen to.

[Rutnstrut]

Romo is doing a great job.

I wish there was a way for him to do every Packer game.

[beveaux1]

Our LT is killing us.

[Teamcheez1]

Get rid of the damn ball!!!

[pbmax]

Well, that is two just like that.

[Gotarace]

Wow ...Aaron is getting killed out there

[Freak Out]

Murphy vs Reggie White

[channtheman]

If we can score a TD here before half, we start with the ball and can tie it up! Hey, a man can dream, right?

Now for this team to immediately dash my hopes.

1 yard pass followed up with a sack. Wonderful. Do we come out of the 2 minute warning with another sack?

Who am I kidding, it'll be 28-7 at the half.

[denverYooper]

"could be a long day"?

[Rutnstrut]

There's more of that quality O-line.

[Bossman641]

Murphy fucking sucks

[Teamcheez1]

I wanted to turn the Atlanta game off at halftime last week.

I may actually do it this week. I have seen nothing that would make me want to watch this game any further.

[channtheman]

Was Jordy open, or would a good throw have been picked?

[Teamcheez1]

I'm glad to hear the fans booing.

[pbmax]

Ball was tipped you dopes. (meaning the announcers who should know with 10 camera angles)

[Rutnstrut]

Shitty throw again.

[pittstang5]

GET MURPHY SOME HELP FOR GOD's SAKE!

[Rutnstrut]

Was Jordy open, or would a good throw have been picked?

At this point I don't think Rodgers is capable of a good throw.

[Teamcheez1]

Quick, MM, use your timeouts.

[pittstang5]

sigh.....that's all i can do right now

[Rutnstrut]

GET MURPHY SOME HELP FOR GOD's SAKE!

Stubby never helps olineman until it's way too late if he ever does.

[Teamcheez1]

I hate to say it, but the defense has done their job this half.

This is all on the offense.

[beveaux1]

I'm really pretty tired of hearing that it doesn't matter how good the line is because Rodgers makes the line. That just isn't true. Every play is affected by the lack of blocking. He has to make his reads quicker and get rid of it. Hard to get a rhythm going.

[pittstang5]

Stubby never helps olineman until it's way too late if he ever does.

I know, and it pisses me off.

[channtheman]

Take a knee? I highly doubt we can move the ball enough to even attempt a field goal.

[pbmax]

They gave Murphy help and it didn't help at all.

[channtheman]

They gave Murphy help and it didn't help at all.

I noticed that too.

[Zool]

I do like watching Jones hit people. He actually knocks them down instead of dragging them down. Now if he can start playing smart and hit heavy they might have something.

[pittstang5]

this team is going to make me start drinking again

[pbmax]

Stubby never helps olineman until it's way too late if he ever does.

I agree with this. But he has sent help the last two snaps to Murphy

[Rutnstrut]

They gave Murphy help and it didn't help at all.

The help he needs is the BENCH!!!!!

[pbmax]

That incomplete to Monty was help # 3.

[pittstang5]

They gave Murphy help and it didn't help at all.

Was it Monty? Cause I saw him do nothing to help.

[beveaux1]

Taylor out.

[channtheman]

Do a hail mary on 3rd down. Then another one. Why not?

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers had enough time the last two plays. Then 3rd down the line played like crap.

[channtheman]

Boo louder fans. This is atrocious. OK. What is up with showing commercials during the game now. NFL is that hardup for cash, eh?

[pittstang5]

pathetic. 3rd down...GET THE BALL OUT FAST!!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Blech

[JohnMexico]

Not watching this garbage ass product

[pbmax]

Brutal half. Featured a complete turnaround, Defense recovered, Offense swooned harder.

[channtheman]

Free kick if he fair catches this.

[channtheman]

Nope, time ran out. How'd that take 10 seconds?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Shit, no time left

[pittstang5]

even when we recover a fumble we get fucked

[Teamcheez1]

The O line is having their troubles, but Rodgers has not played well this entire season.

[gbgary]

game over.

[pbmax]

Was it Monty? Cause I saw him do nothing to help.

Yeah, he shoulders the DE on his way to the route. The point is either he hits him or forces him to stay inside. First two times he hits him, I think the time you refer to the DE stayed inside.

[Rutnstrut]

The O line is having their troubles, but Rodgers has not played well this entire season.

He's no Tom Brady that's for sure.

[Zool]

Well that was hot garbage

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

even when we recover a fumble we get fucked

Will Janis get credit for fumble recovery or does it not count do to time?

[Teamcheez1]

We have scored 14 total points in the first half of 3 games played this season.

The offense is completely dysfunctional.

[red]

Very ugly. We're not the best team in the NFC north anymore

Lions got robbed today by one of the worst rules in all of sports

[beveaux1]

The crowd is going to have to help us win this one, but we have to do something to bring the crowd back in.

[beveaux1]

Very ugly. We're not the best team in the NFC north anymore

Lions got robbed today by one of the worst rules in all of sports

What happened in the Lions game?

[pbmax]

Will Janis get credit for fumble recovery or does it not count do to time?

he gets it. have to have possession recorded for last play I believe. Clock at 0 doesn't stop that.

[Teamcheez1]

The crowd is going to have to help us win this one, but we have to do something to bring the crowd back in.

Maybe the offense could actually do something this game.

Rodgers has the deer in the headlights look. The O line is struggling. Jordy with zero catches.

[red]

Is clay even a member of this team anymore. I mean other then being in ads with a-rod

The guy is bringing nothing to the field this year

[beveaux1]

The Bears are a lot better this year, too.

[pbmax]

We have scored 14 total points in the first half of 3 games played this season.

The offense is completely dysfunctional.

I agree. Even with bunches and a few crossing routes plus actual TEs, the O game plans so far have been pretty pathetic. Only first drive of games seems remotely effective.

[Tony Oday]

What happened in the Lions game?

Down by contact and didn't get a TD. It was the correct call.

[channtheman]

Is clay even a member of this team anymore. I mean other then being in ads with a-rod

The guy is bringing nothing to the field this year

I was wondering where you were. Thought you had already blacked out from too much drinking after this terrible 1st half performance.

[beveaux1]

Down by contact and didn't get a TD. It was the correct call.

Thanks.

[Rutnstrut]

The Packers are playing the worst football in the division right now.
