The Officially Official Green Bay Packers / Detroit Lions Game Day Thread and Stuff

[Rutnstrut]

We're down 17 points against an effective passing team.

The running game has to be put on the back burner now.

Well Rodgers and the big pass plays aren't going to get it done if they play as they have been.

[pbmax]

I think the Packers found a RG.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Throw a bomb to Lofton

[ThunderDan]

What more can go wrong this half?

[Teamcheez1]

F*** Rodgers.

I better not hear a damn word from him this week.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Rodgers once again egg on his face. I don't want to hear shit from him about the offense except that he needs to do better.

[pbmax]

How does he beat a double team?

And Rodgers has gotten way too loose with the ball.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Kizer! Kizer! Kizer!

[ThunderDan]

Isn’t that landing with your full weight on the QB?

[mraynrand]

Odds Rodgers throws the young receivers under the bus?

[Packers4Glory]

King is just horrible today

[ThunderDan]

JSU Jackson with a good break up.

[Rutnstrut]

Kizer! Kizer! Kizer!



Pass, can't they just sneak out at halftime?

[Harlan Huckleby]

tight coverage by T-Will

is T-Will a thing?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Whatever

[pbmax]

Landing with fun weight on QB doesn't get called if the QB is on their side or face down. Its just an amazingly terrible rule.

[Packers4Glory]

Can we label Dix a bust yet

[ThunderDan]

Out of bounds. Ball jiggled when he hit the turf.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Pass, can't they just sneak out at halftime?

When was the last NFL forfeit? Chicago Cardinals 1929?

[Teamcheez1]

I'm glad I have something else to do this afternoon. I won't have to sit through the rest of this garbage.

[Rutnstrut]

Odds Rodgers throws the young receivers under the bus?



Very likely. How does Brady win season after season with different receivers that aren't world beaters? Yet the supposed best QB in the game can't do shit. It's coaching plain and simple. Stubby is holding Rodgers back.

[SMBASS]

Nice coverage by King and Dix. Good frickin' grief.

[Bossman641]

great coverage there

[Harlan Huckleby]

The Vikings are on TV later this afternoon. So there's that entertainment.

[ThunderDan]

Why down the kick there Monty? Going to down it to end the half. Might as well try for a kick return to end the half.

[esoxx]

The Lions are a far superior team than the Packers.

[pbmax]

Dix was mirroring a TE who was double covered when he abandoned the middle of the field.

Something wrong with that coverage.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Time to play the freshmen and build for the future

[KalamazooPackerFan]

If it weren't for the Bear game, I would turn off the TV, go to the gym and start thinking about football again when there is a new coach. I guess I'll wait to see how it plays out.

[SMBASS]

Dix was mirroring a TE who was double covered when he abandoned the middle of the field.

Something wrong with that coverage.

Who the hell was King covering? There was nobody else from the Lions on that side of the endzone and when Dix passed the receiver off King just gave him a complete free release across the middle of the back of the endzone. King didn't even move to try to cover him and was 7-8 yards away when he caught the ball. Terrible all the way around.

[Joemailman]

The Lions are a far superior team than the Packers.

Today you could say that about Nebraska.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Curt Menefee sounded mournful about the PAcker-Lions score, like he knows most of country will be switching channels

[mraynrand]

Curt Manatee sounded mournful about the PAcker-Lions score, like he knows most of country will be switching channels

FIFY

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I'm gonna go catch up on Law & Order: SVU.

[Rutnstrut]

I'm gonna go catch up on Law & Order: SVU.



Figures you would watch that stupid ass show.

[MadScientist]

80's throwback might work at a club, but it sucks at a Packers game.

[ThunderDan]

There is the Adams slant.

[ThunderDan]

When you have 6 seconds you have to throw it away.

[Rutnstrut]

Sometimes you HAVE to run the ball.

[Teamcheez1]

Throw the damn ball Rodgers!

[Cheesehead Craig]

They play man to man, run some picks!

[SMBASS]

Figures you would watch that stupid ass show.

No shit. I was thinking the exact same thing.

[KalamazooPackerFan]

"How can you have that much time to throw and nobody get open?' Truer words never spoken.

[ThunderDan]

Go for it.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Graham has to catch that

[Packers4Glory]

Geezus Graham

[Packers4Glory]

Should have paid Cook.

[ThunderDan]

Good drive to start the 2nd half.

[Bossman641]

Can we have some pre-snap motion or some bunches or something?

[mraynrand]

Should have paid Cook.

yup

[ThunderDan]

Greatest screen team ever. Spielmans an idiot.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Maiden TD for MVS!

[mraynrand]

4 down territory the rest of the way. Crosby should get no FG attempts unless absolutely needed to win with no time remaining.

[ThunderDan]

Where is the bitching about not running enough on that drive?

[pbmax]

Beautiful play design or blown coverage?

Don't care, TD finally.

[mraynrand]

Where is the bitching about not running enough on that drive?

seriously? :)

[Cheesehead Craig]

Bronx cheer!

[Rutnstrut]

Where is the bitching about not running enough on that drive?

Go back and look, I did comment on it.

[pbmax]

ESB was open on a mesh very short over middle on the sack.

[Rutnstrut]

ESB was open on a mesh very short over middle on the sack.



Although it's easy for us to say. He has had open receivers on almost every play where he has held the ball forever.

[ThunderDan]

King with good coverage but had no idea where the ball was.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That is a bullshit penalty

[ThunderDan]

Man, we keep shooting ourselves in the foot.

[Rutnstrut]

His team is still down. They make one good play and he has to crow. Stupid fuck.

[Packers4Glory]

Said it earlier. Dumbest fuckn team going on year 4 or 6

[ThunderDan]

Not great coverage by Dix Speilman

[ThunderDan]

Bryce, jump on that ball.

[ThunderDan]

Opi.

[ThunderDan]

That’s a bad opi call.

[SMBASS]

These guys talk so much shit to each other constantly throughout the game I really don't know how you can ever call a taunting penalty. Still really stupid on his part. Make the play and walk the f' away.

[ThunderDan]

Why is their kicker using smelling salts before the kick?

[SMBASS]

Said it earlier. Dumbest fuckn team going on year 4 or 6

Couldn't agree more. This really is a stupid team that does a lot of dumb shit.

[Rutnstrut]

Why is their kicker using smelling salts before the kick?

Why do some players use them before the beginning of a game?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Hey, we caught a break!

[ThunderDan]

These guys talk so much shit to each other constantly throughout the game I really don't know how you can ever call a taunting penalty. Still really stupid on his part. Make the play and walk the f' away.

Do we have better field position with the missed FG verses a punt? Maybe the stupid penalty work to our advantage.

[pbmax]

Must be a weird A/C vent open at Ford Field.

[Gotarace]

Aaron can't hit a open receiver to save his ass

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Aaron can't hit a open receiver to save his ass

Danica's fucking him up.

[ThunderDan]

Adams across the middle again.

[Gotarace]

Danica's fucking him up.
yoko ono

[pbmax]

So much for greatest screen team ever

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great play call on the QB draw

[Rutnstrut]

That play I liked.

[ThunderDan]

Great call by MM.

[Rutnstrut]

Yup when they do run the ball give to the worst RB on the team.

[mraynrand]

Danica's fucking him up.

Knee/mechanics

[pbmax]

Please put in either Williams or Jones Mike.

[ThunderDan]

VS out hustles the dB for a 1st down.

[mraynrand]

Yup when they do run the ball give to the worst RB on the team.

lolz. Never say die.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fuck the run!

[pbmax]

MVST has some speed baby.

[mraynrand]

Danica's fucking him up.

Bearded lady, IYGMD.

[mraynrand]

Fuck the run!

Probably a better lay than Danica

[ThunderDan]

Great effort to get back on that. Shouldn’t have lost it in the first place.

[pbmax]

MVST is also tall!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Spielman does have some decent insights on what defenses key in on for personnel and alignments.

[Rutnstrut]

Not a TD.

[pbmax]

Jordan-esque change of hand while driving to the hoop.

[SMBASS]

Think he was down before the ball crossed.

[ThunderDan]

It looked like ball was damn close to the line when elbow was down. Not sure where they put the ball.

[Bossman641]

Paging aaron Jones. did he punch a coach or something

[pbmax]

Spielman does have some decent insights on what defenses key in on for personnel and alignments.

Yes and that is the problem. The network wants him to celebrate the stars and he is terrible at working that in,

If he sticks to technique and actual defensive stuff, he's fun to listen to. Not great on offense, but you can't have everything.

Not everyone is a Frankenbacker.

[Bossman641]

Should be placed at about the quarter yard line

[pbmax]

EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE!!!

[Rutnstrut]

Paging aaron Jones. did he punch a coach or something



Nothing like that. Stubby doesn't want a successful running game, so he pulls Jones. You have to win by passing.

[pbmax]

Hey, was that the Bubba Franks TD play from Mike Sherman? :lol:

[mraynrand]

Nothing like that. Stubby doesn't want a successful running game, so he pulls Jones. You have to win by passing.

lol

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Bearded lady, IYGMD.

I dunno what IGMD means, but Butte won something like 10 MVPs while a-banging Munn. Why break up a good thing?

[ThunderDan]

We’ve scored 14 points in the 3rd quarter on 2 drives and the bitching continues on running.

[mraynrand]

I dunno what IGMD means, but Butte won something like 10 MVPs when he was a-banging Munn. Why break up a good thing?

If You Get My Drift

[ThunderDan]

If we go run, run, pass people bitch we are too predictable. Doesn’t matter what happens, someone will bitch.

[pbmax]

Hey, was that the Bubba Franks TD play from Mike Sherman? :lol:

Variation on Sherman's favorite red zone play.

Kendrick is at FB fakes a block then releases. Everyone watching Jones get the (fake) handoff and he is wide open. No falling down on block like Bubba.

[Packers4Glory]

Knee/mechanics

Yup. Most guys would not be playing

[Anti-Polar Bear]

If You Get My Drift

oic.

[mraynrand]

Yup. Most guys would not be playing

kinda highlights how great he is that he can play reasonably well on what must be an MCL.

[pbmax]

Where is the safe falling on Tate!?

[ThunderDan]

How do 3 guys not close and make the tackle.

[SMBASS]

Josh Jackson sure has a bad habit of tackling high and grabbing the facemask.

[Bossman641]

Wow tramon got lucky

[Gotarace]

WTF is Clay Flexing for? Guy is a has been

[Rutnstrut]

Josh Jackson sure has a bad habit of tacking high and grabbing the facemask.



Seems like it doesn't matter who the DC is. GB refuses to coach fundamentals.

[ThunderDan]

Wow tramon got lucky

Yup, he was squeezing his man perfectly against the sideline and then let him go.

[pbmax]

I am more worried that Brice doesn't seem to want to hit a receiver at any time, even after the catch and a football move.

Spielman was right, what was that attempt?

[mraynrand]

Seems like it doesn't matter who the DC is. GB refuses to coach fundamentals.

They really do. When Poutine was in Cleveland he expressly forbade the teaching of fundamentals. 'Play loose and careless' was his mantra.

[Rutnstrut]

WTF is Clay Flexing for? Guy is a has been

Yup, they are losing and that idiot is out there showboating.

[pbmax]

Didn't the NFL ban those capsules?

[mraynrand]

Yup, they are losing and that idiot is out there showboating.

Maybe he could sing "Old Man River?"

[mraynrand]

Hopefully Prater put on Crosby's "There's no place like home" shoe

[SMBASS]

Glad to see the D show up when they needed to make a stand.

[ThunderDan]

How does Bryce go inside if Perry’s crashing down? He has to know he has contain on the edge.

[pbmax]

Morrison just couldn't get to the edge.

[Rutnstrut]

What did Spielman say something about lack of fundamentals?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Dagger

[red]

why would you ever throw the ball away like that in the endzone?

that was pretty damn close to not completing the catch

[ThunderDan]

We need turnovers now. Down 3 scores with 12 minutes t go.

[pbmax]

They have to change the rules on that defense when Perry or the OLB crashes in. No one ever gets to the edge to defend the cutback. Its been killing them all year.

[ThunderDan]

why would you ever throw the ball away like that in the endzone?

that was pretty damn close to not completing the catch

Huh?

[mraynrand]

They have to change the rules on that defense when Perry or the OLB crashes in. No one ever gets to the edge to defend the cutback. Its been killing them all year.

yep. I was saying the same thing in the first half. Actually I was yelling it and people were telling me to shut up.

[ThunderDan]

Adams jumped out of getting blown up on that slant.

[SMBASS]

I thought King was supposed to be that, "bigger, more physical" DB we needed. He's usually not afraid to try to make tackles but he sure seems to get manhandled by receivers.

[mraynrand]

I thought King was supposed to be that, "bigger, more physical" DB we needed. He's usually not afraid to try to make tackles but he sure seems to get manhandled by receivers.

Not making excuses, but guys coming off injuries sometimes play differently.

[red]

graham is nowhere near the 10 million a year contract he signed

[Gotarace]

graham is nowhere near the 10 million a year contract he signed

he is looking tired and slow

[Rutnstrut]

NOW he runs it???? You guys really still think stubby is a capable coach?

[red]

Huh?

that golloday TD. he caught the ball, spun, got 2 feet down and immediately threw the ball out of the endzone before his 3rd step

i've seen catches that looked much clearer to be called incomplete

[red]

he is looking tired and slow

can't run and can't jump. he's just big

[mraynrand]

he is looking tired and slow

He looks like Bob Lanier out there. At least he should be able to post up.

[ThunderDan]

that golloday TD. he caught the ball, spun, got 2 feet down and immediately threw the ball out of the endzone before his 3rd step

Got it.

[esoxx]

Money Mase

[Gotarace]

WTF is Crosby covering a Vegas Debt?

[ThunderDan]

Crosby needs to sit except kickoffs at this point.

[Rutnstrut]

can't run and can't jump. he's just big

I agree. he looks big, slow, and uncoordinated.

[red]

so how did they fuck up money mase?

this looks like what he went through a few seasons ago

[Harlan Huckleby]

BTW, I'd go for 2 there.

[Bossman641]

Wtf is wrong with crosby? I can't think of a worse display of kicking ever.

[pbmax]

Adams jumped out of getting blown up on that slant.

Time for double slants or Sluggo.

[SMBASS]

Oh man! This is pure GOLD Jerry! Too frickin' funny.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Next time, let the fucking punter kick!

[red]

its notlike he's missing by a ton

he's missed 4 kicks by a combined 2 feet

[pbmax]

He definitely gave Scott a look like something wasn't right with the hold or something. Pretty rare for him.

[red]

OMG

king is fucking hurt again

edit, got his face stepped on. just a bloody chin

[Harlan Huckleby]

OMG

king is fucking hurt again

just a flesh wound

[pbmax]

He is bleeding like Chuck Cecil out there.

[red]

He definitely gave Scott a look like something wasn't right with the hold or something. Pretty rare for him.

were the laces wrong? couldn't really tell from the angle they showed

[ThunderDan]

Amazing that d has held Det under 250 yards so far.

[red]

just a flesh wound

[Packers4Glory]

Stupid stupid team

[pbmax]

Tom Oates @TomOatesWSJ
Adding injury to insult, #Packers say DE Nick Perry is questionable with an ankle injury.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Down 24 at half. Would comeback be a packer record?

[mraynrand]

Tom Oates @TomOatesWSJ
Adding injury to insult, #Packers say DE Nick Perry is questionable with an ankle injury.

Terry Glenn award

[SMBASS]

Flags on every damn return or special teams play. This team really is dumb.

[red]

Amazing that d has held Det under 250 yards so far.

couple short fields with the turnovers?

i don't know, i haven't been paying attention

[Bossman641]

Anyone have a breakdown of special teams penalties on the year? I swear we get one on every punt return.

[Rutnstrut]

Tom Oates @TomOatesWSJ
Adding injury to insult, #Packers say DE Nick Perry is questionable with an ankle injury.

Well you KNOW he's going to get hurt. Might as well get it done with.

[mraynrand]

Tom Oates @TomOatesWSJ
Adding injury to insult, #Packers say DE Nick Perry is questionable with an ankle injury.

I think he just got exhausted not holding the edge

[Rastak]

Maybe he could sing "Old Man River?"


Dammit, don't do that, I spit beer all over my keyboard....

[ThunderDan]

That strip sack at the end of the 2nd quarter is looming larger and larger.

[red]

Down 24 at half. Would comeback be a packer record?

didn't we do 24 against the bears?

[red]

I think he just got exhausted not holding the edge

he was exhausted after the first 4 or 5 fucking plays of the game

[ThunderDan]

couple short fields with the turnovers?

i don't know, i haven't been paying attention

I don’t think we have punted today. 3 turnovers and 3 missed FG.

[red]

still no jones?

[Rastak]

still no jones?

Maybe he's hurt? He took a shot to the head earlier in the game.

[SMBASS]

Best thing they could do this next offseason is start dumping all of these high paid players who are over the hill or hurt all the time and never available.

[pbmax]

still no jones?

Nope, nothing on Twitter either about injury.

[pbmax]

At this point they just prefer Williams and Monty when pass blocking.

[Rutnstrut]

still no jones?

If he isn't hurt it's pure stupidity by stubby.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Lions are just trading clock for points

[red]

no catch, shit

how the fuck is one ref signaling int? wishful thinking?

[Harlan Huckleby]

great effort by Adams, but catchable

[pbmax]

Still a circus catch even though its not a catch.

[red]

Best thing they could do this next offseason is start dumping all of these high paid players who are over the hill or hurt all the time and never available.

should have started that a couple years ago to be honest

[red]

free would have caught that with his back

[mraynrand]

Best thing they could do this next offseason is start dumping all of these high paid players who are over the hill or hurt all the time and never available.

wait, that's half the team

[SMBASS]

no catch, shit

how the fuck is one ref signaling int? wishful thinking?

No shit! In which alternate universe was there an interception in any way, shape, or form?

[wist43]

Well, what a mess of a team :(

[mraynrand]

Well, what a mess of a team :(

Thanks for showing up now with this revelation.

[Harlan Huckleby]

that's a bad drop, there was yardage

[red]

wait, that's half the team

pretty much, our team is either on huge contracts, on rookie contracts, or making the vet minimum

we seem have problems giving out midrange deals

we are just a penalty factory

[ThunderDan]

How is that not 15 yards for hitting Graham in the head after the catch on the ground?

[Packers4Glory]

Refs are horrendous

[Harlan Huckleby]

bad call

[red]

THROW THE FUCKING BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mraynrand]

How is that not 15 yards for hitting Graham in the head after the catch on the ground?

Only if Matthews switched teams

[Gotarace]

Wow is Mason Screwing Danica Also?

[Rastak]

Wow, haven't seen a meltdown like this by kicker since I forget the Vikings kicker's name many years ago.

That was a long kick though....

[red]

wow

wtf mase?

[Harlan Huckleby]

fuck the field goal there, I'd rather try for long pass

[ThunderDan]

Dude has missed 4 kicks and we think a 56 yard kick is a good idea.

[red]

Wow, haven't seen a meltdown like this by kicker since I forget the Vikings kicker's name many years ago.

That was a long kick though....

wasn't that just a few weeks ago?

[Rutnstrut]

Mase has what we call target panic in archery. It's basically the yips.

[pbmax]

Placement on that one was a little too close to Crosby according to the spot marked by Scott before the snap.

[mraynrand]

After three misses there was no reason to give him another kick

[pbmax]

How is that not 15 yards for hitting Graham in the head after the catch on the ground?

Good question.

[red]

Dude has missed 4 kicks and we think a 56 yard kick is a good idea.

at this point why are we still trying with him today?

i get we can use the points, but its just not working today

[Rastak]

Dude has missed 4 kicks and we think a 56 yard kick is a good idea.

I'm thinking big Mike wanted him to get his confidence back.

[SMBASS]

This is a shit team that needs to be blown up starting with the coaching staff. At least they're not going to fool me into wasting too much energy watching or caring about them this year. They aren't going anywhere.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Pettine keeps blitzing Dix. Stupid!

[red]

I'm thinking big Mike wanted him to get his confidence back.

just like when he had the yips a few years back and fat ass thought it was a good idea to keep sending him out there to try 55 and 60 yarders

[ThunderDan]

Pettine keeps blitzing Dix. Stupid!

Great idea. Dix is a lot worse in coverage.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Great idea. Dix is a lot worse in coverage.

Dix should be sitting on a bench.

[red]

i'm sure mase is gonna get the full blame for this one, but despite all the yards, this offense is still badly broken

actually, its a fucking mess. a pile of shit with a few big plays sprinkled in

[mraynrand]

I'm thinking big Mike wanted him to get his confidence back.

Buying him a hooker probably would work better

[pbmax]

Dix needs to not be so late on the blitz.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Buying him a hooker probably would work better

+1

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Dix needs to not be so late on the blitz.

He's always late. He's a fucking sloth.

[red]

Dix needs to not be so late on the blitz.

kinda like the old hawk blitz where he counted to 5 mississippi then came up the middle

[SMBASS]

And this is the fucking Lions who we look this bad against. The Lions suck too.

[oldbutnotdeadyet]

And this is the fucking Lions who we look this bad against. The Lions suck too.

Yup, all I got is 'Go Brewers'

[red]

why is the oakland game already halfway through the 1st quarter?

don't games start at noon and 3:30?

do games just start whenever the hell they want now?

[ThunderDan]

And this is the fucking Lions who we look this bad against. The Lions suck too.

Looked good the 2nd half.

Looked like dog shit the first half.

[Fosco33]

Pretty glad I went and did some productive shit. Feel bad for Mason - he’ll get it back.

Mid stretch is gonna make these games look easy. I could see them going into final stretch out of it.

We all though we’d be 5-0 or 4-1. Winning 2 games is not acceptable imo.

[red]

now we put jones in

fat mike FAIL

[pbmax]

Why not field that?

[mraynrand]

This is a shit team that needs to be blown up starting with the coaching staff. At least they're not going to fool me into wasting too much energy watching or caring about them this year. They aren't going anywhere.

This is what Kraft is gonna do after NE lost to the Lions.

[mraynrand]

We all though we’d be 5-0 or 4-1. .

I didn't, except I thought MN would be a loss

[Rutnstrut]

Why the fuck are the starters in there on offense. The last thing they need is for Rodgers or Adams to totally blow out a knee.

[ThunderDan]

now we put jones in

fat mike FAIL

You know we were 3 tds and an attempt FG. No punts. Don’t think a rob would have changed anything.

[red]

jimmy graham padding his stats with a 4 yard catch in garbage time

[Rastak]

That move some clever shit there.....

[Joemailman]

Brewers game starts in 15 minutes.

[Harlan Huckleby]

why throw 6 yard check downs?

[red]

now THAT was a great move after the catch

[red]

there you go mason

[Harlan Huckleby]

i can't watch this

[Bossman641]

Now we put Jones in?

[pbmax]

Dear God no

[Anti-Polar Bear]

why throw 6 yard check downs?

Don't ask me. I've turned off the TV. Actually, I've logged onto Hulu. Gonna binge watch Law and Order: SVU.

[pbmax]

Phew.

[Harlan Huckleby]

8 points, 2 seconds

there's a chance!

[ThunderDan]

5 possessions in the 2nd half.

3 tds, 1 FG, 1 missed FG.

I really don’t think Jones was the cure all.
