Official 2018 Packers at Vikings Game Day II Thread: End the Madness

[pbmax]

What is your view on Fackrell ?

Is he a legitimate starting long term OLB ?

Yes. But probably not a difference maker.

Yet.

[esoxx]

Arm tackle by Lowry

I see what you did there

[ThunderDan]

Don’t call a time out unless you are doing it to allow a challenge.

[Rastak]

The mule starring client Eastwood. I thought it was no country for old men 2.

Dude looks like he’s a 100 yers old...

[mraynrand]

Through the pick or on the screen?

the slot receiver runs the pick crossing the TE and the TE follows him straight upfield. Think it would work. Hopefully they come back to it again.

[TravisWilliams23]

Dude looks like he’s a 100 yers old...

88 actually. Pretty close.

[pbmax]

Oddly I like the D chances in 3rd and 5 better

[ThunderDan]

Now Minnesota has time to get down the field instead of less than a minute,.

[mraynrand]

I like how Zimmer doesn't worry about blowing TOs because he knows Stubby will call 'em for him.

[denverYooper]

It helps when receivers are making plays.

[pbmax]

Holding on Clark

[Rastak]

Now Minnesota has time to get down the field instead of less than a minute,.


Gonna be tough...unless they hit a big one...

[pbmax]

Don’t call a time out unless you are doing it to allow a challenge.

Don’t mind it late in 1st half with one left.

[mraynrand]

At some point, you have to go after Cousins

[Rastak]

Calla time-out mccarthy

[ThunderDan]

Dude looks like he’s a 100 yers old...


I once played cards with Clint in Vail when I was 7. He was super nice and friendly.

[mraynrand]

I once played cards with Clint in Vail when I was 7. He was super nice and friendly.

Go fish!

[Guiness]

YAC is killing the Pack.

[denverYooper]

Small sample analysis: Campbell is better at getting guys on the ground than Ha ha.

[Rastak]

I once played cards with Clint in Vail when I was 7. He was supper nice and friendly.

I love Clint, super cool in movies, glad to hear he’s cool in real life.

[yetisnowman]

I'm so fucking done with MM. At the end of halves he's basically a second coach for the opposing team.

[ThunderDan]

Always good form to cross yourself with a Coors Light in your other hand.

[pbmax]

Same defense as Capers. No pass rush and blitzed picked up.

[mraynrand]

YAC is killing the Pack.

zero pressure is worse. Cousins is totally relaxed back there. (Good strategy getting the ball out super quick too).

[Rastak]

That;s sorta bullshit, packer dude came across causing it...

[pbmax]

Veteran twitch by Packers there.

[ThunderDan]

Go fish!


Hearts. Penny a point, Clint wanted to play for quarters.:glug:

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Shit, thielen is white for fucks sake!!!! These black wanker cbs for the pack are a disgrace to the corner position!!!! :x :x :x

[mraynrand]

Same defense as Capers. No pass rush and blitzed picked up.

Packers just don't have the horses

[pbmax]

Gonna be a weird game.

[ThunderDan]

Don’t mind it late in 1st half with one left.

That’s why I hate the time outs. Gave MN a chance for 3 points. Should have been a knee down and up to the 2nd half.

[Teamcheez1]

I don't think our offense looks any better than it has the last few weeks.
The defense is holding their own, but we'll see if they can continue this effort in the second half.

[mraynrand]

Hold fan auditions for placekicker during halftime. Bring out new kicker for second half.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Shit, thielen is white for fucks sake!!!! These black wanker cbs for the pack are a disgrace to the corner position!!!! :x :x :x

Btw:I’m not stupid. Thielen is in my lineup.

[Guiness]

That;s sorta bullshit, packer dude came across causing it...

Have to admit when they showed that replay I didn't see much of anything. What did pb call it, veteran twitch, lol

[Rastak]

Have to admit when they showed that replay I didn't see much of anything. What did pb call it, veteran twitch, lol


I'd have to watch it again to see if his helmut crossed the neutral zone...really, I'm not 100% sure.

[Fosco33]

Serious question. Why is M3 so vanilla? Rare is the case for any trick plays.... or any aggressive playcalls. I don’t get how he doesn’t coach like this is his last game.

[pbmax]

That’s why I hate the time outs. Gave MN a chance for 3 points. Should have been a knee down and up to the 2nd half.

In retrospect yep. But perhaps he could have waited until just prior to snap?

[pbmax]

Took dog for walk. Clear and cold. Heart full, eyes clear.

Fire McCarthy.

[pbmax]

Serious question. Why is M3 so vanilla? Rare is the case for any trick plays.... or any aggressive playcalls. I don’t get how he doesn’t coach like this is his last game.

It’s not all vanilla. Rodgers had Graham on a crosser but got worried about pass rush. Same old story.

[ThunderDan]

Good return to the 25.

[Rastak]

Typical.....league loves the Packers - witness all he rule bends that they get grandfathered in on.....that said, I'm mainly tweaking your nose...

[ThunderDan]

Nice swing pass to Jones.

[pbmax]

Love whatever scheme got Jones that wide open.

[pbmax]

Typical.....league loves the Packers - witness all he rule bends that they get grandfathered in on.....that said, I'm mainly tweaking your nose...

Weird call to miss.

[ThunderDan]

Typical.....league loves the Packers - witness all he rule bends that they get grandfathered in on.....that said, I'm mainly tweaking your nose...

I was wondering when the kicker ended on his butt if it was embellishment or a penalty.

[Rastak]

Weird call to miss.

I'm jaded therefore seriously not surprised.

[pbmax]

Ok. No more WR screens unless off by 10 yards coverage

[pbmax]

Tex is nuts but not entirely wrong about pass pro at least.

[Rastak]

That touchdown to Adams mainly Rodgers doing a great job...

[denverYooper]

Gonna be a weird game.

Gonna be?

[ThunderDan]

All crap. How many guys are going down now after realitively being healthy early in the year.

[Rastak]

Shitty pass...

[ThunderDan]

Need first downs not touchdown there.

[Teamcheez1]

just another stupid play by Rodgers. This offense sucks.

[pbmax]

Ok that was McCarthy being stubborn. 3x1 formation facing blitz. Throw deep for one on one chance. No scheme to get someone open for YAC for first. It doesn’t work well enough anymore

[ThunderDan]

Cyber Monday door busters? Am I missing something?

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers with 10 completions and 107 yards. That is horrible.

[pbmax]

Gonna be?

Didn’t want to be premature

[pbmax]

Gonna run that end around next time.

[ThunderDan]

Fackrell with blanket coverage.

[pbmax]

Fackrell in coverage.

[Rastak]

Smart to not do anything stupid I guess.,...

[ThunderDan]

3 and out for the D.

[pbmax]

Pressure is good.

[mraynrand]

Gonna run that end around next time.

yep

[pbmax]

Davis must have done something wrong.

[Rastak]

Brothers with the hello good sir, nice to meet you

[mraynrand]

Fackrell had really nice coverage on the RB

[ThunderDan]

Davis must have done something wrong.

Called a fair catch with 15 yards open in front of him.

[Gotarace]

What team is going to cause the turnover to win the game for them?

[Bretsky]

Yes. But probably not a difference maker.

Yet.


So it's your view we have two legitimate starting LB"s then ? I'm not sure I'm there yet on Fackrell. But I think Blake Martinez is a solid ILB

[Rastak]

Called a fair catch with 15 yards open in front of him.


Yup.

[denverYooper]

Took dog for walk. Clear and cold. Heart full, eyes clear.

Fire McCarthy.

I've gotten myself into a fairly complex situation with our elves on shelves. I just spent halftime writing response letters to my kids and snapping elf selfies on my daughter's phone. It's a lot of work but totally worth it; my kids have absolutely lit up since I stepped up the dad game on this one. I came back 3 minutes into the half to see the Packers stall at midfield.

That's a long way of saying that M3 still has not stepped up his coaching game to inject life and creativity into this team.

So I agree.

Fire McCarthy.

[pbmax]

Vikes quick snapped on third down but cost them. No one open and Gilbert got wide head start on pass rush around the pocket.

[mraynrand]

Davis must have done something wrong.

he fair caught an obvious return

[pbmax]

So it's your view we have two legitimate starting LB"s then ? I'm not sure I'm there yet on Fackrell. But I think Blake Martinez is a solid ILB

Blake very similar but steadier.

[Guiness]

lol @ Tramon with a 20 yard punt return! Even after he beat 3 guys I was pretty sure he wasn't going to break one!

[pbmax]

ESB hurt his hand.

[Rastak]

Rhodes with a solid tackle.

[red]

hey, theyre talking about favre again

[Bretsky]

Blake very similar but steadier.



I'm not sure they are on the same planet consistency wise

IF Fackrell makes a Pro Bowl, will wist admit he was wrong ?

[Rastak]

Should be 4th....go for it....I love that shit....

[ThunderDan]

Short, 4th and inches.

[Bretsky]

GIVE THE BALL TO JONES

AND DON'T PISS AWAY A TIMEOUT

[Rastak]

lol.....

[ThunderDan]

I like going for it this 4th down.

[mraynrand]

I don't like that Martian 'war of the worlds' horn. Kinda freaks me out.

[Bretsky]

OH CRAP; he didn't get it

But I commend MM for going for it and giving the ball to Jones

[Gotarace]

stubby finally showing some emotion...too little too late

[JohnMexico]

I think I'm pulling the plug on this shit...

Get this fatass the fuck out of here.

[red]

who cares how long it took to spot it

you still could have gotten the fucking play off

[Rastak]

That was complete bullshit


Nah, it was funny.

[denverYooper]

That's why M3 doesn't go for it.

[Rastak]

No good! I would have punted and said so before the play.....

[ThunderDan]

So it should take the refs 13 seconds to spot a ball. Ridiculous Terry.

[pbmax]

A dive from the small back.

[red]

I don't like that Martian 'war of the worlds' horn. Kinda freaks me out.

one of the scariest sounds of all time

i hated the siren from the silent hill movie too

[Teamcheez1]

This offense has sucked all year.
Rodgers and MM are a big part of the problem.

[Bretsky]

SOMWHERE TANK IS YELLING THE PACKERS SHOULD HAVE DRAFTED HARRISON SMITH

[Anti-Polar Bear]

SOMWHERE TANK IS YELLING THE PACKERS SHOULD HAVE DRAFTED HARRISON SMITH

:)

[mraynrand]

Patriots run QB sneak almost every time on a fourth and one inch.

[Fritz]

OH CRAP; he didn't get it

But I commend MM for going for it and giving the ball to Jones

Oh for fuck's sake, a QB sneak is all they needed.

[pbmax]

That was a play for Jamaal Williams.

[KYPack]

SOMWHERE TANK IS YELLING THE PACKERS SHOULD HAVE DRAFTED HARRISON SMITH

Down there in poster hell.

[pbmax]

That was a play for Jamaal Williams.

But if Davante had blocked it would have helped.

[Fritz]

This team sucks.

[mraynrand]

Defense can't touch Cousins

[Teamcheez1]

Packers scored 3 points in the second half of last week's game.
So far this week zero.

[Fosco33]

So on therib40 you don’t go for it but you do on yours... after burning a timeout. So basically a turnover.

[ThunderDan]

Clay with another good run stuff.

[mraynrand]

This team sucks.

Defense kinda ran out of players

[Rutnstrut]

Patriots run QB sneak almost every time on a fourth and one inch.



They also have top notch coaching.

[Fritz]

The offense just sputters.

[Rastak]

He had all day...

[Teamcheez1]

Defense kinda ran out of players

The defense isn't the problem. The offense is terrible.

[denverYooper]

3 man rush works because Kenny Clark is awesome.

[ThunderDan]

Clarkcwith the coverage sack.

[pbmax]

Defense getting by on effort.

[Gotarace]

cousins pulling a 8 second Rodgers

[Bossman641]

What are we on 3rd down?

[Fritz]

Defense kinda ran out of players

The offense. Sucks.

[KYPack]

Wanted to see Zim's mug if Bailey choked that one.

[Rastak]

cousins pulling a 8 second Rodgers


As Thunder said, coverage sack.

[mraynrand]

The defense isn't the problem. The offense is terrible.

they each have their own problems. I was talking about the defense. Playing on heels because they have 1, maybe 2 quality starters.

[ThunderDan]

Oh for fuck's sake, a QB sneak is all they needed.

MN put two big DL in C/G gaps. Sneak was probably stuffed.

[Rastak]

Wanted to see Zim's mug if Bailey choked that one.


I sure as fuck didn't.......and thanks for making tha same pick on this game so I can't catch up...,:-P

[Fritz]

Pettine coaching defense better than MM coaching the offense.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Down there in poster hell.

Collins had just been KIA. H-Smith was a no brainer. You don’t draft an injury prone DE to play OLB.

[ThunderDan]

What are we on 3rd down?


The Packers.

Aweful?

[mraynrand]

The offense. Sucks.

Stubby's quote at half is that they missed big plays. Shows you his mentality will never change. He's always looking to change the game by getting ahead with big plays. WILL NOT take what's there.

[Fritz]

MN put two big DL in C/G gaps. Sneak was probably stuffed.

Not for the 8 inches they needed, no. Jones was tackled by a safety, not a d-lineman.

[pbmax]

Davis did something else wrong. He’s off kickoff returns too.

[Rastak]

PB, there is your Spriggs boy...

[Fritz]

Christ this offense looks miserable.

[red]

bahk hurt

spriggs in, season over

[mraynrand]

Are any linemen healthy anymore?

[denverYooper]

Here we go.

[pbmax]

Oh oh. McCarthy is punting this possession without Bach

[red]

fuck us

[pbmax]

SPRIGGS failed on inside move

[red]

wow, spriggs didn't even get a hand on his guy

[mraynrand]

I wanted a draw called on that play

[Fritz]

Ah, now we're back to not being able to get a play off before the clock expires.

[denverYooper]

We may officially be running out of runway.

[KYPack]

I sure as fuck didn't.......and thanks for making tha same pick on this game so I can't catch up...,:-P

We're both down the line after this week.

[mraynrand]

If Bacteria is out for the game, it's over.

[red]

another db hurt

that brown guy limped off

illegal formation on a punt. maybe we should teach guys how to line up for those

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Someone call nutz. Olmen are supposed to be though motherfuckers. Bak taking himself out pretty much summarizes the Packers: SOFT!!!!

[Teamcheez1]

The Packers show the inability to adjust and play offense in the second half of games. I will be shocked if they score a point this half. Both an MM and Rodgers problem.

[pbmax]

I wanted a draw called on that play

I thought that was why he let the clock expire.

[ThunderDan]

Pack D needs to step up big here. Going to be hard to come from 2 scores down with a make shift offensive line.

[Rutnstrut]

Stubby sucks!!!!

[Teamcheez1]

Pack D needs to step up big here. Going to be hard to come from 2 scores down with a make shift offensive line.

It would be difficult for our offense to come back regardless of the situation.

There's a reason we are 0-5 on the road this year.

[Rutnstrut]

Pack D needs to step up big here. Going to be hard to come from 2 scores down with a make shift offensive line.




They weren't exactly lighting it up before any o-lineman went down.

[yetisnowman]

Time to put MM out to pasture. Injuries or not, this offense is pathetic and inexcuseably bad. Drew Brees threw 4 Tds to 4 different UNDRAFTED players on Thursday.

[mraynrand]

I'm becoming more convinced that the clearing of the roster was to make sure the Packers have a losing season so it's easier to get rid of Stubby. Injuries are making it easier.

[denverYooper]

Everything hurts worse when you're losing.

[red]

one of the videos i watched today talking about how fat mike is failing the packers mentioned that over the last 45 or so games they are just over .500. that includes 36 or so with a-rod

[mraynrand]

there's your end-around PB

[ThunderDan]

Two short fields in a row for the Viqueens.

[pbmax]

Saw that coming a mile away. OLB crashes in again and edge open. ILB can’t get there

[red]

brice just knocked himself out

[Teamcheez1]

Game just about to be over after this drive. Rodgers can't lead this team back from 10 points down.

[Rastak]

Damn, Brice got his brains knocked out...

[mraynrand]

Brice is done

[pbmax]

there's your end-around PB

Slightly different play but yeah. That was them catch them pinching the OLB in.

[ThunderDan]

How the fuck was that not a hold?

[denverYooper]

Cook dropped his head as well.

[red]

terrible tackle, possible career ender

[JohnMexico]

Its aaron too, not just fatass.

We are jettisoning fatass. New qb coach, head coach, ST coach, etc. We will worry about chase the Bears for years to come, but we will he starting fresh

[mraynrand]

Can any receivers play defensive back?

[Guiness]

this feels really bad

[red]

well clay bit just a bit on that one

[Teamcheez1]

Game over.

[pbmax]

This is the night that got McCarthy fired.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

well clay bit just a bit on that one

Fuck!!!

[Rastak]

Hooked on a Thielen.....high on believing....

[Fosco33]

Clay is terrible.

[mraynrand]

Clay Matthews made that play

[ThunderDan]

It wasn’t Cousins aggressive play, it was Clay crashing down and leaving the outside wide open.

[pbmax]

Its aaron too, not just fatass.

We are jettisoning fatass. New qb coach, head coach, ST coach, etc. We will worry about chase the Bears for years to come, but we will he starting fresh

A new offense will help cancel the extended play offense.

And hopefully kill the rely on the big play offense.

[Teamcheez1]

The Vikings should really be up by 16 now.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Now we can stop trying to establish the fucking run and just gunsling it.

A-Rod time.

[The Shadow]

Fire. McCarthy. Now.

[Teamcheez1]

Expect run, incomplete pass, sack, punt.

[Rutnstrut]

This is the night that got McCarthy fired.

No his inability or refusal to adjust and actually coach will get him fired. It just so happens that Rodgers isn't good enough to cover it up anymore.

[ThunderDan]

Now we can stop trying to establish the fucking run and just gunslinger it.

A-Rod time.

And get sacked behind a make shift line.

[denverYooper]

Hell, Rodgers might as well go full Favre at this point.

[pbmax]

If they come back it’s just more proof the coach isn’t helping.

[mraynrand]

I'm thinking the rest of this game might look like that reg season game at AZ in 2015.

[Joemailman]

On the bright side, I have thielen in the Packerrats fantasy league.

[pbmax]

No his inability or refusal to adjust and actually coach will get him fired. It just so happens that Rodgers isn't good enough to cover it up anymore.

Mean kill his playoff chance of making it hard to fire him.

[mraynrand]

looking for the TD again

[Rutnstrut]

Hell, Rodgers might as well go full Favre at this point.


He won't, that would hurt his stats.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

And get sacked behind a make shift line.

All running the rock does is distort the GAB’s fragile rhythm.

[mraynrand]

Hell, Rodgers might as well go full Favre at this point.


We'll never forget you Brent!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2Iw2YejS9A

[pbmax]

looking for the TD again

What did WR on offense left run? He was looking left the whole time.

[red]

Expect run, incomplete pass, sack, punt.

first 2 right so far, here comes the sack

[pbmax]

ESB quit route

[Rastak]

I actually do like Collinsworth....

[mraynrand]

looking for the TD again...

[pbmax]

first 2 right so far, here comes the sack

You missed a first down there

[red]

lol

3rd down sack every fucking time

[pbmax]

We aren’t going to be able to keep Tex down anymore

[ThunderDan]

Got to go for it. Punting is conceding defeat.

[Teamcheez1]

No points in the second half of this game. Rodgers crap. MM crap.

[red]

You missed a first down there

i did

[mraynrand]

Fire Campen!

[Rastak]

Got to go for it. Punting is conceding defeat.


I don't know man, that seems insanely risky....

[Cheesehead Craig]

JK Scott is our best player tonight so far.

[JohnMexico]

Got to go for it. Punting is conceding defeat.

Look at the face of our leader. He has conceded defeat

[ThunderDan]

i did

And a run on 2nd down.

[The Shadow]

Just the stupid look on McCarthy's face is enough to justify canning him.

[Guiness]

a 3rd down sack. Shocking.

This offense is feeling really stale

[Teamcheez1]

1-8 on 3rd downs this week.
3-11 last week.

This offense sucks.

[mraynrand]

lol

3rd down sack every fucking time

I imagine the pay call was identical to every 3rd down before it. Screen, draw, slant, anything quick might have helped. Or a roll out...

[Gotarace]

The viking blitz stunt works every third down

[denverYooper]

No punts from here on out.

[mraynrand]

Given the state of the defense, the offense needed to carry the team, and they've totally laid down.

[beveaux1]

The OL is basically playing on crutches. Bak is playing with 2 bad knees and he's still better than Spriggs.

[ThunderDan]

That’s another 2 minutes.

[pbmax]

Adams pulled a Raji and penetrated out of his gap.

[mraynrand]

now they're running at will

[mraynrand]

It's easier to run through a Lowry arm tackle, Chris.

[denverYooper]

3rd and long.
Pass rush can't get home
Open man.

[KYPack]

Any word about Brice, that looked funky.

[red]

now theres a nice pass play

[pbmax]

Blitz doesnt get home and cover 2 beater wins.

[ThunderDan]

Need a turnover badly.

[red]

Any word about Brice, that looked funky.

he did run off on his own

[mraynrand]

can't lay a finger on Cousins

[red]

It's easier to run through a Lowry arm tackle, Chris.

stupid short arms

[pbmax]

Adams playing hard.

[mraynrand]

Need a turnover badly.

that doesn't happen when you're playing on your heels

[Rastak]

Good first down...[

[channtheman]

More disappointing 2nd half offense. Rodgers still gets sacked almost every 3rd down. And a defense that can't get off the field in the 4th quarter. Bleh. Can we get a refund on Rodgers payday?

[ThunderDan]

2 more minutes gone.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Holy fuck
44 made HMr. Hyde look like a fucking cheetah

[mraynrand]

Morrison is another guy who shouldn't be on an NFL field.

[KYPack]

he did run off on his own

Thx Red.

Went to get a beer and this living room failed to monitor the injury.

[red]

i don't get that

why didn't they throw to the endzone on that 3rd and 1?

they only got like 10 yards. needed a lot more then that to score a TD

thats a playcall fail in fat mikes book

missed opportunity

[denverYooper]

DEAN LOWRY. GAME CHANGER!

[Rastak]

Yea, that's bad...kills the FG....

[ThunderDan]

In concussion protocol for Brice.

[mraynrand]

DEAN LOWRY. GAME CHANGER!

wow

[channtheman]

What was that? Why didn't he catch it?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Wow, it just got worse.

[denverYooper]

There is a microcosm of this season.

[Gotarace]

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT
