The Apparently Official Packers-Bills Game Thread

[Fritz]

Well, okay, Fritz will step up to the plate on this one. Fritz had a winning streak a few years back due to his constant complaining and sniping and moaning about how the Packers were sure to lose each week.

So I say the Packers lose today to the Bills, and we all see this as the regular-season lowpoint in Packer fandom since the Packers started backsliding after starting 4-1 (I think) in whatever season that was, maybe three years or so ago. They had a good defense for that early-season time, though the offense struggled, so we all figured that once MM and Rodgers got the offense rolling, it might be a Super Bowl year.

And then they sucked, going something like 6-6 the rest of the way. One 'n done.

So they're going to lose today.

Obligatory game day post.

[Fritz]

Okay, now that the Captain has posted, I feel official.

[Bretsky]

WAY TO GO FRITZ

And GO BREWERS

And fuck the Cubs

[bobblehead]

Obligatory game day post.

Apparent obligatory reply.

[bobblehead]

WAY TO GO FRITZ

And GO BREWERS

And fuck the Cubs

Yep. The only thing close to as sweet as wisconsin team success is late breakdowns by chicago teams causing a stream of tears for their fans. First our comeback win in week 1, now we get another chance to inflict maximum pain by snatching the division from the cubbies on the last day of the season. Its all the more delicious when you wait til the last second!!

[Fritz]

As a Tigers fan, today I say "Go Brewers!"

[Teamcheez1]

Inactives:

WR Randall Cobb, QB Tim Boyle, RB Darius Jackson, CB Bashaud Breeland, OL Alex Light, CB Kevin King, G Justin McCray

What's up with Cobb?

[Gotarace]

Inactives:

WR Randall Cobb, QB Tim Boyle, RB Darius Jackson, CB Bashaud Breeland, OL Alex Light, CB Kevin King, G Justin McCray

What's up with Cobb?
Hamstring injury
Maybe bruised Ego from last weeks Performance

[ThunderDan]

Go Pack go!

[Rutnstrut]

So who takes Cobb's spot?

[pbmax]

Packers by 10 with big D day.

23-13

[Gotarace]

So who takes Cobb's spot?

Thinking Marquez Valdes-Scantling

[pbmax]

So who takes Cobb's spot?

Either MVS or Monty

[pbmax]

Burks!!

[ThunderDan]

Burke with a st tackle.

[ThunderDan]

Good run D there.

[Gotarace]

Short...three and out

[ThunderDan]

Great 3 and out.

[Gotarace]

jimmy g in the mix

[ThunderDan]

That was a nice design to Graham.

[yetisnowman]

Holy shit Tramon's returning punts.

[Gotarace]

drive killing flag

[ThunderDan]

ARod looks a little better this week.

[ThunderDan]

Boom, great run blocking.

[Gotarace]

We have a real clock management problem

[ThunderDan]

So did we get the time out or a 5 yard penalty?

[gbgary]

another wasted time out because they are messing around.

[Gotarace]

And that was a shit call

[Teamcheez1]

The offense continues to be stagnant.

[red]

fat mike is so fucking smrt

[yetisnowman]

How often do we blow timeouts the first possession of the 1st or 3rd quarters? It has to be at a much higher rate than other teams.

[ThunderDan]

Good punt, come on D. Let’s get the o the ball back near midfield.

[gbgary]

stupid play call.

[Harlan Huckleby]

What was that 3rd down give up? You got the GOAT.

[ThunderDan]

Alexander in tight coverage.

[gbgary]

great punt.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I half expected a too rough flag there on DB.

[Gotarace]

Not hard to spook this qb

[Rastak]

That Benjamin is a knucklehead.

[ThunderDan]

How is shoving a Packer in the face not a personal foul?

[red]

wow, he jumped 4 feet from the ground to his waist

standing still his waist should be just under 3 feet off the ground

so he managed a vertical of just over 1 foot

unheard of

[Gotarace]

come on fat mike ...let's finish a drive this time

[red]

What was that 3rd down give up? You got the GOAT.

our head coach is mike mccarthy

[ThunderDan]

Benjamin got both Alexander and Tramon in the face.

[Strange Brew]

Packer give me a headache! Oh wait...i'm hungover.

[Gotarace]

nice recognition Arod

[ThunderDan]

Alright, good route by Monty.

[red]

the most surprising part of that play was that jimmy graham was able to get that far downfield to celebrate with monty

[Harlan Huckleby]

Its hard to watch a game without Spriggs® updates

[ThunderDan]

Who says MM doesn’t use rubs.

[gbgary]

Hyde...racked or groin.

[ThunderDan]

Hyde...racked or groin.

Groin.

[Fritz]

the most surprising part of that play was that jimmy graham was able to get that far downfield to celebrate with monty

Did they score?

[Gotarace]

Montgomery is getting too much play...he will pull up lame

[red]

maybe thats why we don't throw short passes, a-rod can't do it

[ThunderDan]

Graham should be our touchdown machine in the red zone.

[Gotarace]

TOUCHDOWN JIMMY G

[red]

Did they score?

now they have

couple yard td to graham

[Harlan Huckleby]

GEronimo with the friendly chest bump

[gbgary]

finally!

[beveaux1]

Missed EP

[red]

Graham should be our touchdown machine in the red zone.

gotta just throw jump balls to him down there, you have to imagine he can out jump anyone.

[Gotarace]

Really missed extra point...please not bad mason...we need you

[gbgary]

*Crosby*
smh

[Joemailman]

Jerry Montgomery has been calling for holding calls, throwing his hands in the air. Bakh might have to be careful.

[Fritz]

Man to man?
Nipple to nipple?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't care about the friggin extra point, and you can quote me later.

Crosby is not going to be 100%, they gotta happen sometime.

[red]

i'm sorry guys, lambeau is not a loud stadium. never has been

quit talking about how hard it is to hear

[pbmax]

Josh Allen should have been drafted in the 11th round of the CFL draft.

[ThunderDan]

Wow, that was a horrible throw? Who carries you can hurdle 4 feet when you can’t throw a 5 yard out.

[Gotarace]

Gilbert is Quick

[red]

I don't care about the friggin extra point, and you can quote me later.

Crosby is not going to be 100%, they gotta happen sometime.

guys are gonna miss extra points with it being moved back like it was

we keep equating extra points with gimmies. they aren't anymore

[mraynrand]

i'm sorry guys, lambeau is not a loud stadium. never has been

quit talking about how hard it is to hear

It's one of, if not the quietest stadiums the NFL

[red]

shocked that wasn't flagged

[ThunderDan]

Wow, not a roughing the qb!

[mraynrand]

Gilbert is Quick

Mike?

[pbmax]

Fackrell might be a DB the way he stayed with Zay Jones. Jones is fast.

[Rutnstrut]

That's why you need to be able to pop the QB as often as possible. The pussified shit takes that aspect away.

[Harlan Huckleby]

leaf blowers should be illegal

[beveaux1]

Good job D.

[pbmax]

Also should congratulate on McCarthy scheming someone open on Graham's TD. Nice rub with Geronimo.

[red]

leaf blowers should be illegal

seconded

[pbmax]

Also want to note that is just spiffy that Jones isn't playing more. :roll:

I get that protecting Rodgers is job #1 especially when injured, but c'mon.

Like that :D

[Fritz]

Fackrell = Joe Thomas?

[Gotarace]

What ever happened to replays...wtf

[red]

Also want to note that is just spiffy that Jones isn't playing more. :roll:

there he was

[Gotarace]

Jones sweet run and stiff arm

[ThunderDan]

Great run blocking again.

[pbmax]

Byron Bell playing Guard for McCray. Is MVS starting for Cobb?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I like how Jones did his he-man flex while sitting on the turf. Couldn't wait till he stood up.

[pbmax]

We can see why you hide Jones until the 4th offensive series.

[Joemailman]

MM wants Jones to lead NFL in YPC.

[pbmax]

OK, who is buying season tickets to the Brewers next year with me so I can get in line for playoff tickets?

[gbgary]

Aaron Jones... might be a keeper.

[ThunderDan]

Allison fumbled the ball out of bounds.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Packers look like much better team

[Gotarace]

Come on Adams

[Fritz]

Why does MM wait to get him into the game? What point is he trying to prove? I read that Jones blocked just fine for Arod last week, so why wouldn't you play your best running back a little sooner than your fourth series???

[Rutnstrut]

Aaron Jones... might be a keeper.

Not that stubby will utilize him.

[ThunderDan]

Good run play there.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Come on Adams

I thought pass was perfect and Adams was slightly late on adjustment. But you don't get perfection, not like it was a big fuck up.

[red]

wow

jones might be special

[Gotarace]

Jones should be starter hands down...Sweet Screen

[ThunderDan]

Great effort by Jones.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Jones got game

[Joemailman]

Jones early candidate for stud.

[pbmax]

RPO is in many cases just a play action pass. Lovely.

[red]

what the fuck is that god damn ref doing?

[Harlan Huckleby]

Rodgers looks so much healthier
-Capt'n Obviious

[Gotarace]

Jones...one man wrecking crew

[Joemailman]

Go for 2?

[Rutnstrut]

I'll be damned. Someone must have taken over for stubby.

[red]

he wasn't ready because for some fucking reason he decided to run up to the line, then not blow the whistle

TD runs

[ThunderDan]

Boom, great drive by the O. ARod looks much more mobile and Jones looks great.

[gbgary]

nice

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ryan Grant!? Bad comparison

[Joemailman]

I'll be damned. Someone must have taken over for stubby.

I figured he was leting you call the plays.:-)

[red]

jones is head and shoulders better then williams, not that williams is bad

[red]

Ryan Grant!? Bad comparison

i know, yuck

[beveaux1]

Jones might be a difference maker.

[beveaux1]

Packers actually have 3 dependable RBs---one difference maker.

[red]

Packers actually have 3 dependable RBs---one difference maker.

yeah, we're in good shape in that department

now fat mike just has to keep using them

[Fritz]

Packers actually have 3 dependable RBs---one difference maker.



I haven't seen anything like this since Ahmad Green.

[SMBASS]

Go for 2?

Too early to start chasing points and potentially compounding mistakes.

[ThunderDan]

Matthews will a sack that isn’t called roughing.

[Harlan Huckleby]

roughing the passer

[red]

a mathews sack with no flag????????????????????????

no way

[Gotarace]

How the hell did the Bills Smoke the Vikings? They blow

[red]

How the hell did the Bills Smoke the Vikings? They blow

queens had an ot hangover

[Harlan Huckleby]

This game looks like Globetrotters vrs. Washington Generals

[beveaux1]

How the hell did the Bills Smoke the Vikings? They blow

Vikings field is much faster. They had slow developing plays and the Bills pass rush is good.

[ThunderDan]

How the hell did the Bills Smoke the Vikings? They blow

Obviously, Zimmer is a horrible coach and should be fired before the end of the season.

[Gotarace]

the double tipper int.

[red]

hey the guy i wanted us to draft making a big play

[ThunderDan]

Alexander will good coverage and Dix in good support.

[Gotarace]

Allen is about as accurate as dropping cluster bombs

[red]

why would we take a TO?

[ThunderDan]

why would we take a TO?

To get the right D in.

[beveaux1]

why would we take a TO?

We had special teams on the field.

[red]

yup, go away from the hot back

same ole stubby

[ThunderDan]

Great effort by Bak.

[red]

kendricks fucking sucks

[Gotarace]

Kendricks should not be a Packer

[Harlan Huckleby]

Cut Kendricks

[pbmax]

Ideas I like:

1. Daniels at DE
2. Jones starting at RB

Ideas I don't like:

1. Hot hand RB
2. G-Mo

[red]

great play

[ThunderDan]

Good play, bunch route to open Adams.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Mike Lucas said that Kendricks has had so-so hands his whole career.

[Rutnstrut]

Cut Kendricks

And put the white TE in.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Why not play the rookie TE?

[red]

Ideas I like:

1. Daniels at DE
2. Jones starting at RB

Ideas I don't like:

1. Hot hand RB
2. G-Mo

the guy ive never heard of has looked good at right guard

[Teamcheez1]

That sack is on Rodgers.

[red]

how do you not see that blitz coming? he was looking right at him the whole time

[Harlan Huckleby]

PAckers letting awful Bills hang around

[red]

i don't like these horse shit give up play calls on third and long

[ThunderDan]

the guy ive never heard of has looked good at right guard

Bell, I thought it said Bill when I first saw the back of his jersey.

[pbmax]

Linsley is getting beat a lot this year on runs.

Bulaga also getting worked at times.

Eddie "Hands of Stone" Kendricks

[gbgary]

he can't take that sack.

[Teamcheez1]

PAckers letting awful Bills hang around

We should have more than 13 points.

[Rutnstrut]

Yeah there's a stubby play.

[red]

punter looks like a 13 year old trying to bum a smoke off you in front of the gas station

[red]

Bell, I thought it said Bill when I first saw the back of his jersey.

i've watched him on a few plays and he looked solid

[ThunderDan]

Good job Ponch.

[Harlan Huckleby]

punter looks like a 13 year old trying to bum a smoke off you in front of the gas station

I was gonna say he looks like a 3rd grader with a hyperactive pituitary gland, but I'll split the difference with you

[Rutnstrut]

i've watched him on a few plays and he looked solid

He was anything but in the preseason.

[pbmax]

Bach with a terrible read on pass pro.

[Rastak]

What a moron.

[gbgary]

did MM send that last play in for buf?

[beveaux1]

How stupid was that.

[red]

flag?

the mexican just got body slammed after the whistle

[Teamcheez1]

Stupid play. This game is really boring.

[ThunderDan]

God, bills lineman punching Packers and no call. Alexander pusher back and gets flagged.

[pbmax]

how do you not see that blitz coming? he was looking right at him the whole time

Why did Bach not block him?

[ThunderDan]

Dawkins punch Martinez helmet half off and stuck half way up his head.

[Harlan Huckleby]

oh well, boys will be boys

[red]

of course the officials didn't seethe swat to the head

[ThunderDan]

Why did Bach not block him?

Line blocked down.

[beveaux1]

Can't take off the helmet.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Stupid play. This game is really boring.

+1

[red]

Can't take off the helmet.

ca't you take it off if its half off to put it back on?

[Harlan Huckleby]

PAckers should be up 30-0. Bills have no DBs or QB, are begging the packers to run them out of stadium.

[red]

+1

+2

[beveaux1]

ca't you take it off if its half off to put it back on?

Can't take it off to yell at someone.

[Rastak]

Nice play by Jackson

[red]

the rook with a great play

[red]

and the other rook gives up a big play

[ThunderDan]

Stop comparing qbs to Favre. Enough already.

[JohnMexico]

This game sucks

[red]

Stop comparing qbs to Favre. Enough already.

nothing like comparing a guy to favre AT lambeau, when hes 4-16 on the day

[ThunderDan]

This game sucks

Then don’t watch like I did after the Clay roughing call last week.

[Rastak]

lol, that was the shittiest wounded duck pass I ever saw.

[ThunderDan]

Well that was certainly Favre like,

[beveaux1]

What a rookie mistake.

[red]

now he did look like bert there

[Harlan Huckleby]

OK, that was fun

[red]

smart play monty

[Harlan Huckleby]

nice bill on bill cut block

[ThunderDan]

lol, that was the shittiest wounded duck pass I ever saw.

How about that Webb throw in the GB/Minn playoff game a few years ago?

[Harlan Huckleby]

the coach there is right, the clock should be running

[red]

would have been a hell of a catch

[Teamcheez1]

The Packers offense is putting me to sleep in the first half.

[Harlan Huckleby]

shit, gotta go down field

[red]

gonna try mase from 68?

[ThunderDan]

gonna try mase from 68?

Nope, ARod going to scamper for 15.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'd kick it here, too hard to get short pass on sideline with everybody knowing.

[red]

that seems like it was just a play to eat some time off the clock and stop it

[Rastak]

Dudes good kicker.

[beveaux1]

Money.

[ThunderDan]

Good finish to the half and we get the ball to start 2nd half.

[pbmax]

Line blocked down.

Yeah, but they had numbers wrong. Back just DT the Guard's defender.

[beveaux1]

Pass rush has been pretty good today.

[ThunderDan]

Great run by Jones.

[ThunderDan]

Slant route.

[Rastak]

Takes a lick? That's what passes for taking a lick these days?

[Rastak]

God I hate that roughing rule.....seems like he tried to not put all his weight on him by extending his arms but what do we need to debate this shit at all?


*sigh*

[beveaux1]

Wrong number on the defender for roughing.

[ThunderDan]

How is that not 15 yards?

I hate the call but if landing on a QB is the rule he sure the fuck landed right on ARod.

[Rutnstrut]

It was a good, clean sack. However it would have been roughing on Clay.

[Gotarace]

I think the NFL is reeling in the roughing calls without accepting Fault for the rule.

[Rastak]

How is that not 15 yards?

I hate the call but if landing on a QB is the rule he sure the fuck landed right on ARod.


How the flying fuck can you not land on him? He put out his arms to not land on him and didn't put the so called full weight on him. what a fucking stupid rule.......it pretty much is ruining the game for me.

[ThunderDan]

How the flying fuck can you not land on him? He put out his arms to not land on him and didn't put the so called full weight on him. what a fucking stupid rule.......it pretty much is ruining the game for me.

I turned off the game after Clays roughing last week. Makes the game unwatchable.

[Harlan Huckleby]

There is zero difference between that roughing non-call and Clay's call. That "analyst" is full of it.

[Rastak]

Good call - couldn't be more obvious

[Rastak]

I turned off the game after Clays roughing last week. Makes the game unwatchable.


I agree, it's so arbitrary and defense in football is important. It is becoming unwatchable.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Fackrel showed quickness

[ThunderDan]

Now Satori is talking about 50% or more of the weight lands on the qb. Geesh, even worse.

[Gotarace]

INT...Sweet

[Gotarace]

Hardest hit Dix put on a Receiver all Year

[Rastak]

If you get the pick does the whole defenseless receiver thing go out the window?

I wouldn't have called it but that thought did pop into my head. No pick I bet they throw that flag.

[MadScientist]

Good thing Dix got the ball or it would have been a penalty for hit on a defenseless receiver.

[SMBASS]

I agree, it's so arbitrary and defense in football is important. It is becoming unwatchable.

Couldn't agree more Ras. Incredibly stupid Fn' rule that turns the game into a WWE event. Nobody has any idea how to call it or interpret it so there's absolutely no consistency. FU NFL!!!

[Rastak]

Man, the Bears are destroying Tampa.

[Rastak]

Green Bay's OL is kicked some major ass today.

[MadScientist]

Allison really runs great routes.

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers has looked unimpressive today.

This game is a yawner.

[ThunderDan]

Horrible decision by ARod. Lucky not to be a pick 6.

[Rastak]

Figures the Bills play out of their mind against my boys and fuck up right and left against you guys.....

[Rutnstrut]

And there's stubby "sticking" with the run.

[beveaux1]

Scantling didn't come back for the ball. That's why Rodgers doesn't trust young receivers.

[beveaux1]

The other time he threw it to Scantling, Scantling didn't run the full route. Rodgers ball looked like it was 5 yards too far.

[MadScientist]

Figures the Bills play out of their mind against my boys and fuck up right and left against you guys.....

Works for me.

[Rastak]

That Mccoy need to tuck the fucking ball - Jesus.....

[smuggler]

Yeah MVS falling away from the play. Rookie move. Buffalo's rookie is better than ours.

[ThunderDan]

D still pitching a shutout.

[Rastak]

Green Bay is playing a solid game for sure. Buffalo not impressing either.

[beveaux1]

Rodgers probably won't throw another timing pattern to Scantling today.

[smuggler]

Offense playing kinda weak. This is the kind of game we lose against a good team.

[ThunderDan]

Offense playing kinda weak. This is the kind of game we lose against a good team.

O line has been dominant.

[Rastak]

Allison sure drops alot of passes.
