The Official 2020 Week 7 Packers at Texans Game Thread

[RashanGary]

APB is done. Someone’s gotta take the honors. Kind of a tough time with all the injuries, but I’ll go ahead and be the bad luck charm.

Im not confident in this one. But I always hope for a W and it’s sure possible



Packers 27
Texans 33

[GB-Brandon]

Depends what Houston team shows up. If the one that plays to their talent does then Houston wins. Packers are beat up which is crazy when they are just two weeks out of a bye week.

Hopefully this loss will push Gute from “Getting On The Phone” to “Actually Making A Trade”

It seems to be so hard and challenging for him.

[Joemailman]

Always a little disconcerting when 2 hours before gametime you don't know who the LT is. Unless you're Tex. Comeback day for Rodgers
though.

Packers 30
Texans 24

[GB-Brandon]

I just don’t want to see this offense revert back to zero urgency and burning the whole play clock every play without much rhythm and consistency.

[GB-Brandon]

Jones Inactivate. No real surprise.

[GB-Brandon]

It’s coming down to Bill, Bob and Burt again and people wonder why I praise Rodgers so much!!

[pittstang5]

This game = No Bueno. I have no confidence. Too many key injuries. I think the score will look close at the end, only because GB will finally start to figure things out, but it'll be too late.

[GB-Brandon]

Get the Fuck on the Phone!!

[RashanGary]

Missing Savage, King, Aaron Jones and Bakh. The vibe is concerning heading into the game.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

In my humble opinion, the initial post of the GameDay thread should contain at least a non-political, non-football mumbling. Once the game starts, it’s all futbol, so might as well spice up the thread a bit while we wait impatiently for kick off.

For example, last season, ole Bobble was like, “Got home ‘late’ from a poker session; horny as a goat but wife’s at the gym; guess it’s time to catch up with the aphrodisiac vids.” I, for one, would love to know Harrell’s secret regarding hooking up with the ladies.

Anyways, Packers 72, Tex-asses 0.

Power to the Packers!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Jones Inactivate. No real surprise.

What the fuck’s wrong with Jones?

[GB-Brandon]

What the fuck’s wrong with Jones?

Pulled a calf muscle in practice.

[GB-Brandon]

My prediction for today is Rodgers is gonna hold onto the ball too long and get sacked etc etc and everyone is going to start blaming Rodgers when we literally have nobody other then Adams on offense.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Pulled a calf muscle in practice.

OIC, can’t access PackersNews anymore, so had no clue.

Guess it’s Hammer Time. Dillion’s nickname is The Hammer.

[texaspackerbacker]

I didn't notice Tonyan mentioned. Is he playing? Significant if he is. No Aaron Jones? Bad news, but I'm expecting to see some Dexter Williams today - J. and Dillon too, but I'd like to see what Dexter can do. Houston is gonna be playing pass a lot, which means we may have a big day running the ball. Just the same, though, it will come down to Aaron Rodgers winning the game, as always. Possible high scoring game, as Houston has a more than decent offense.

Green Bay 45 Houston 23

[GB-Brandon]

Billy Turner at LT.

[texaspackerbacker]

At least that means Jenkins stays at Guard where he is best. I don't like Turner, but I wouldn't be surprised if he does as good at LT as ya'all know who hahahaha.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

I’m not ready to crown Tonyan yet as the next Gronk after one great game against the Atlanta Falcons.

[KYPack]

Billy Turner at LT.

So Wagner at RT?

Tonyan is active?

[GB-Brandon]

Tonyan is an injury waiting to happen too.

[GB-Brandon]

So Wagner at RT?

Tonyan is active?

Tonyan active. I’d imagine Wagner at RT.

[GB-Brandon]

Tyler Ervin with Jones not playing is kinda a big deal too in passing game. Limits some things they can do in passing game.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I think MVS is gonna have a big game.

MVS looks a lot like Kane Brown.

[Harlan Huckleby]

we have the talent

[Harlan Huckleby]

Tyler Ervin with Jones not playing is kinda a big deal too in passing game. Limits some things they can do in passing game.

jamal williams is a heck of a plan B.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

No wanker wideout is getting open!

[Harlan Huckleby]

thunder thighs!

[Harlan Huckleby]

ridiculous penalty, jeez, the running back is a missile

[Harlan Huckleby]

bad run

[Joemailman]

Nice job by Wagner on Watt so far.

[GB-Brandon]

Good job converting. Houston bailed them out though.

[Cheesehead Craig]

So far so good

[gbgary]

too much passing when straight ahead running is working so well.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Big stop

[gbgary]

veeeery nice

[Cheesehead Craig]

65 yd punt. Damn

[Joemailman]

Wow. That was a helluva stuff on 3rd down.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great punt by Scott

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Bring back the bombs!!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Barnes is just a Martinez clone in coverage

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great defense

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Again, bring back the bombs! Packers haven’t executed a bomb in weeks!

[gbgary]

how'd he catch that?

[Cheesehead Craig]

how'd he catch that?

No kidding. That was ridiculous.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Beautiful play design.

[MadtownPacker]

Adams keeping Erin relevant.

Might want to be grateful he is bailing your savior out Brandon.

[Cheesehead Craig]

TE strikes again!

[gbgary]

nice

[Joemailman]

Sternberger!

[gbgary]

turner doing fine at LT so far.

[GB-Brandon]

Adams is literally all we have out there. Can’t believe Houston isn’t double teaming him.

[Joemailman]

Yep. Got beat on one early, but fine since then.

[Joemailman]

Mont. Adams with a play.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Getting some pass rush today.

[gbgary]

nice series.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

D playing better with Clark on the bench

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Clark is a fucking overpaid milksop.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Mont. Adams with a play.

With Clark on the bench.

[MadtownPacker]

Adams is literally all we have out there. Can’t believe Houston isn’t double teaming him.Based on JJ Watts reaction I think 17 is more than enough for today.

[gbgary]

I like det's uni's today.

[GB-Brandon]

We’re getting the “F” rated version of the Texans today. Avoid injury and get the “W”.

[gbgary]

Tonyan!!

[MadtownPacker]

14-0? Pick6 time again? :lol:

[gbgary]

lol...nice

[Joemailman]

Lowry sighting!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Barnes sucks in coverage!

[Joemailman]

Z's been dealing with an ankle.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Obligatory Z Smith injury

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Get 97 out of the fucking game!!!!!!!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think MVS is gonna have a big game.

MVS looks a lot like Kane Brown.

They are going to spring the secret weapon in 2nd half

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Ditto, 24!!!!!!!

[GB-Brandon]

I want Cobb Back!!!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

I never liked losing Cobb. He worth money.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

See? Clark on the bench, incomplete

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Sack....with 97 on the bench!

[Harlan Huckleby]

why kick field goal?

whups: I thought it was 4th and 2

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fg wife right...,with Clark on the bench!

[Joemailman]

why kick field goal?

They didn't.

[GB-Brandon]

Rodgers is like Fuck It. I’m just gonna throw to Adams every time!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

My God Watt gets tons of TV time. I know he is still good, but it's a bit much.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Rodgers completed a big pass to Adams, with #97 on the bench.

[Harlan Huckleby]

DAvante Adams is better than the other kids

[Harlan Huckleby]

Texans should put their starters back in

[Cheesehead Craig]

I think Edgar Bennett scores on that screen back in the day.

[Harlan Huckleby]

MVS in

[Joemailman]

Touchdown Packers...with #97 on the bench.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That was an outstanding first half by the Pack.

[Harlan Huckleby]

That was an outstanding first half by the Pack.


Still 12 seconds

[RashanGary]

Not a good game for the sacred cow

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Touchdown Packers...with #97 on the bench.

Lol

Suffice it to say, Packers are a better team with 97 on the bench.

[gbgary]

awesome drive. so many predicted a shootout and it's a blowout.

[Joemailman]

JJ Watt deserves better than this Houston organization.

[RashanGary]

Good game for Gute tho. Turner playing LT at a serviceable level sure helps gutes seemingly dud of a FA signing look to be turning around

[gbgary]

.....

[Joemailman]

Steelers looking like the real deal this year.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Steelers looking like the real deal this year.

Without #97

[gbgary]

lol @ the cowboys

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Good game for Gute tho. Turner playing LT at a serviceable level sure helps gutes seemingly dud of a FA signing look to be turning around

The German Shepherd Paid 97 a bunch of frog skins, and 97 is playing like Cletidus Hunt after Hunt got paid. Opportunity costs likely will end up being Bak and Jones.

[Mayhem]

lol @ the cowboys

Skip Bayless on suicide watch?

[Zool]

lol @ the cowboys

But I keep hearing year after year how they are a Super Bowl team!? Prescott takes them from bad to mediocre. Can’t wait for the sell-off when the cap drops.

[Zool]

/r/confidentlyincorrect

[gbgary]

that's not even close.

[Joemailman]

Not sure if it's worth a challenge though since it's a 1st down due to penalty.

[gbgary]

Pettine keeping them in soft coverage is maddening.

[Bossman641]

Great escape from rodgers

[gbgary]

veeeery nice

[Joemailman]

Texans might want to cover that guy.

[Harlan Huckleby]

DAvante Adams is better than the other kids

bump

[beveaux1]

Adams is good.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

bump

Word

[Joemailman]

Rodgers Revenge Game.

[gbgary]

adams got turned around by the pass but still caught it.

[gbgary]

watt's playing up to the cameras at this point.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

adams got turned around by the pass but still caught it.

The Fresno Fraud is just bailing out Erin.

[Zool]

Not sure if it's worth a challenge though since it's a 1st down due to penalty.

Still can’t figure out why he challenged. It wasn’t like a 30 yard pass.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I haven't seen a Packer WR dominate a game like this since Sterling Sharpe.

that's not true, of course, who am I forgetting? It's been a long time, anyway.

[Zool]

Run the ball more, pass across the middle more. Put this game away.

[gbgary]

burks about to become a target.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Texans working on the clock

[Joemailman]

I haven't seen a Packer WR dominate a game like this since Sterling Sharpe.

that's not true, of course, who am I forgetting? It's been a long time, anyway.

Jordy had some games.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Jordy had some games.

Did he ever take over a game? I don't remember any dominant games. Could just be the Alzheimers

[RashanGary]

I haven't seen a Packer WR dominate a game like this since Sterling Sharpe.

that's not true, of course, who am I forgetting? It's been a long time, anyway.

It’s crazy how balanced and athletic he is after the catch. And obviously before the catch and through the catch. Definitely impressive

[gbgary]

pressure?

[RashanGary]

Pettine dialing it up. Nice

[beveaux1]

Jordy had some games.

He always had help. Jones, driver, Adams, and Cobb to name a few. Adams is by himself.

[RashanGary]

Jennings, Nelson and Aaron Jones were and are similar in how they were sort of high speed weavers. Adams brings a little more stop and start vs pure weaving.

Adams and Jennings probably the best at creating separation
Nelson probably the best at being on the same page with 12
Adams and Jennings probably the best after the catch

Adams, Nelson and Jennings are probably the conversation. I think Adams might be the most complete because he’s tougher than Jennings was and better at getting separation than Nelson was. It’s a topic tho

[esoxx]

Did he ever take over a game? I don't remember any dominant games. Could just be the Alzheimers

One of the most dominant games I ever saw from a Packers WR was Antonio Freeman against the 49ers back in '98. Unstoppable

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199811010gnb.htm#all_player_offense

[Cheesehead Craig]

The offensive line never moved. What a horrible third-down play.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Ah fuck. That just let them back in the game

[Bossman641]

Damnit... Sullivan completely out of control

[Harlan Huckleby]

field goal opportunity?

[gbgary]

great Scott!

[Joemailman]

Tackle saved 4 points.

[gbgary]

need a long drive for a dagger.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Drop a fucking bomb!

[Cheesehead Craig]

So that was a 15 sec drive. Shitty playcalling.

[beveaux1]

Scantling has such bad hands.

[gbgary]

3 passing plays. ugh!

[GB-Brandon]

Scantling! Lol

[RashanGary]

We're really missing Lazard. MVS has improved underneath, but he's just not the guy you want as your #2 WR. Too up in down in that he can run deep or crossers but not complete enough to really be the second option.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

DK Metcalf is gonna have a big game.

DK looks a lot like Calvin Johnson.

Fixed.

[GB-Brandon]

People keep wanting tell me how Fucken good Scantling is. I’m done with it!!

[Zool]

Pretty rough second half for the offense so far. Lots of passes with a big lead.

[beveaux1]

We're really missing Lazard. MVS has improved underneath, but he's just not the guy you want as your #2 WR. Too up in down in that he can run deep or crossers but not complete enough to really be the second option.

He's a number 4....at best.

[RashanGary]

Lazard has been reported to be running on the sidelines and starting to advance in his recovery. It can't come soon enough. Getting Sternberger and Tonyan more opportunities has a long term gain, but at this point, nearing the mid point of the season, you want to see the team start to play its best ball and get healthy to make a real run.

[GB-Brandon]

Scantling has like a 40 percent completion rate now when being thrown too. Pathetic!!

[beveaux1]

Preston Smith with a big play.

[gbgary]

nice

[Anti-Polar Bear]

First play P made all year

[RashanGary]

He's a number 4....at best.

I like his as the 3rd. He's such a legitimate deep threat, the underneath deficiencies aren't as exaggerated when hes the 3 and usually a decoy

[Zool]

Defense made a play! With Barnes out the middle got a lot weaker. Kid is pretty damned good.

[GB-Brandon]

Lazard has been reported to be running on the sidelines and starting to advance in his recovery. It can't come soon enough. Getting Sternberger and Tonyan more opportunities has a long term gain, but at this point, nearing the mid point of the season, you want to see the team start to play its best ball and get healthy to make a real run.

Running on the sideline and playing live NFL games and running routes is a big difference. He had a “Surgery” on a core muscle. I’m not trying be negative but you can’t rush that injury back. He probably has a ways to go.

[GB-Brandon]

If they thought Lazard was coming back in the next couple weeks Gute probably wouldn’t be on the phone.

[Joemailman]

Dagger.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Beautiful drive.

[RashanGary]

Gute riding Thompson's coat tails with Rodgers, Adams and Williams :lol:

[beveaux1]

I like his as the 3rd. He's such a legitimate deep threat, the underneath deficiencies aren't as exaggerated when hes the 3 and usually a decoy

Sorry. Hands not good enough. Routes not good enough. He's a barely adequate #4.

[gbgary]

nice.

[RashanGary]

Is Montravious Adams eligible for a fuckdoggle? I mean, third round pick, but he played his way into obscurity in 3.5 miserable years. And now, all of a sudden, hes a player. Fuckdoggle?

[RashanGary]

Sorry. Hands not good enough. Routes not good enough. He's a barely adequate #4.

I definitely understand based on how he plays when hes the 2. It really changes his responsilibies and plays to his strengths as a 3. But based on his #2 game tape, hes a 4 at best. I see the argument.

[GB-Brandon]

Gute riding Thompson's coat tails with Rodgers, Adams and Williams :lol:

That’s all Gute has done thus far is ride Thompson’s coat tails with inserting Matt LaFluers offense.

[Joemailman]

Sorry. Hands not good enough. Routes not good enough. He's a barely adequate #4.

Yep. Packers wwnt into this year figuring St. Brown, Funchess and Lazard would all be ahead of MVS.

[GB-Brandon]

I definitely understand based on how he plays when hes the 2. It really changes his responsilibies and plays to his strengths as a 3. But based on his #2 game tape, hes a 4 at best. I see the argument.

The argument is he has a 40 percent completion rate with the best QB in the NFL. He SUCKS!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Drop a fucking bomb!

[RashanGary]

Running on the sideline and playing live NFL games and running routes is a big difference. He had a “Surgery” on a core muscle. I’m not trying be negative but you can’t rush that injury back. He probably has a ways to go.

He's young and really healthy and tough. Based on previous similar injuries, early november was best case and mid november was a really good shot.

[Harlan Huckleby]

field goal kicker warming up

[RashanGary]

ja money!

[beveaux1]

I definitely understand based on how he plays when hes the 2. It really changes his responsilibies and plays to his strengths as a 3. But based on his #2 game tape, hes a 4 at best. I see the argument.

Unfortunately, he disappears for 5 or 6 games every season. He just can't be counted on.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Drop a fucking bomb!

If only the Packers had DK Metcalf.

[beveaux1]

Turnover!!

[Zool]

My goodness that’s just stupid. Prevent defense and terrible special teams play. Is this all for the bettors?

[RashanGary]

Well, i think the fuckdoggle is finalized

[Zool]

Ha. Cooks had absolutely no interest in diving for that ball.

[Fritz]

So what did Mt. Adams do today that was so great?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

So what did Mt. Adams do today that was so great?

Made more plays than 97.

[Patler]

I definitely understand based on how he plays when hes the 2. It really changes his responsilibies and plays to his strengths as a 3. But based on his #2 game tape, hes a 4 at best. I see the argument.

I don't get the fascination with classifying wide receivers. It's really very simple. Can MVS, as part of a WR group, be out on the field regularly with various combinations of other WRs, run routes to get open, and catch passes thrown to him? With MVS, the answer is looking like, no, not consistently.

[Zool]

So what did Mt. Adams do today that was so great?

2 plays in the backfield, and not a tire fire the rest of the game? For him, not sucking is a huge improvement.

[Teamcheez1]

Made more plays than 97.

This. Didn't see Clark make any plays today.

[Joemailman]

Clark didn't make plays, but I thought the line did a good job of getting a push, clearing way for LB's to make plays.
