Official Packers at Rams NFC Divisional Playoff Game Thread

[MadtownPacker]

Good things come to those who wait. Well damn we have wait what feels like 10 years for today. That’s the last time Pack could not be denied got it done. This playoffs feels like that again. The circumstances are different, #1 seed instead of wildcard, but he excitement and expectations are not. Like Apollo told Rocky after the tough beating by Clubber Lang “there is No tomorrow!”.

Today is here and guess what the Rams aren’t Clubber Lang. They are the sacrificial lamb for next week. I’m ready for the ride to start. Late TD makes it look closer but...

Packers 31- Rams 20

[George Cumby]

Pack wins.

[MadtownPacker]

Anything that happened before the game started doesn’t count.....

[Gotarace]

pack 34- rams 17

[George Cumby]

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Joemailman]

Packers 26

Rams 17

[smuggler]

Haha alright MTP. Just in time! The game is in Lambeau. Should be Packers *vs* Rams.

[Sparkey]

Pack wins 29 - 17

[smuggler]

I'm thinking Packers 34, Rams 13. I do not think the Rams O will have a good showing. 30 points wins, and that's par for our offense.

[Fosco33]

Let’s fucking go!

[Guiness]

Obligatory to Go Pack GO post!

[beveaux1]

3 and out!

[Fosco33]

Great to hear fans at Lambeau!

[Bossman641]

27-17.... Pack advance

[MadtownPacker]

Looking good

[Harlan Huckleby]

They look good

[George Cumby]

Jenkins is gonna' send a message today.

[Joemailman]

Getting rid of ball quickly.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Looking good

ESP

[Cheesehead Craig]

That's always fun to watch when Aaron catches then with 12

[GB-Brandon]

We’re “Winning The Matchup” on Troy Hill. This is Good!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

shooting fish in barrell

[George Cumby]

Loving crowd noise.

[Fosco33]

Tonyan time

[GB-Brandon]

MVS has to catch that

[Cheesehead Craig]

A lead is a lead

[Teamcheez1]

No. All the incompletions were on Rodgers.

[George Cumby]

Nice defense.

[beveaux1]

Two drops. FG.

[Sparkey]

The dropsies already ?

[GB-Brandon]

Tough break only getting 3. That’s what the Rams do.

[MadtownPacker]

Wow. Wasn’t expecting that. Would have been good with going for it.

[Harlan Huckleby]

MVS has to catch that

The pass was a couple inches too high, so close. It wasn't really a drop, IMO

[George Cumby]

No. All the incompletions were on Rodgers.

Looks a little jumpy back there.

[Harlan Huckleby]

No. All the incompletions were on Rodgers.

endorse. But they weren't terrible throws

[Cheesehead Craig]

Rodgers missed an open Adams on 2nd down.

[GB-Brandon]

No. All the incompletions were on Rodgers.

Sorry but an NFL Receiver has to catch a ball with his arms extended. This isn’t high school.

[MadtownPacker]

Tough break only getting 3. That’s what the Rams do.Yes that is huge. Have to get a score next drive.

[beveaux1]

Ball hit Lazard in the hands. Ball hit MVS in the hands. Would have been good catches, but they wouldn't have been great catches.

[Harlan Huckleby]

3 points on an opening drive is not bad, dumb dumbs

[GB-Brandon]

The MVS one could of been caught. The other one was contested and good D.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Donald wasn't in for final 8 plays of that drive. That could be huge.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Ball hit Lazard in the hands. Ball hit MVS in the hands. Would have been good catches, but they wouldn't have been great catches.

lotta mustard

[George Cumby]

^ this.

He got a taste of Leeeeeeeeeroy Jenkins!

[GB-Brandon]

See Woods one arm that thing? Don’t give me any Fucken excuses!!!!

[Fosco33]

Need a few turnovers. Good a time as any to get one. Calling for a strip/sack by Preston

[Teamcheez1]

How about we cover someone?

[beveaux1]

We don't play zone very well.

[Sparkey]

Soft zones and 10 yard cushions. Ugh.

[George Cumby]

Need some pressure.

[GB-Brandon]

Goff is on. This is not good news!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Soft zones and 10 yard cushions. Ugh.

They been doin that all season, tho, eh?

[scharpcheddar]

Injured thumb my ass

[pittstang5]

Why didn't they Run Dillon in the "Gold Zone!" SMH

[GB-Brandon]

If you don’t get pressure on Goff he looks like a HOF’er. I talked of this all week!!

[Zool]

They been doin that all season, tho, eh?

They adjusted the last few weeks. McVay is out-thinking Heavy Pettine. It’s early.

[Sparkey]

They been doin that all season, tho, eh?

I know. But had done less of it over the last 3 games

[pittstang5]

CMON DEFENSE! NEED A TURNOVER!

[pittstang5]

THey'll get it

[Cheesehead Craig]

If you don’t get pressure on Goff he looks like a HOF’er. I talked of this all week!!

You don't pressure any QB they look great.

[GB-Brandon]

You don't pressure any QB they look great.

Yeah but the slightest pressure destroys Goff!!!

[Harlan Huckleby]

that's a shame

[George Cumby]

Woot.

[MadScientist]

Yeah but the slightest pressure destroys Goff!!!

So you're saying rushing 3 and leaving holes in the middle of the field isn't the right strategy?

[GB-Brandon]

So you're saying rushing 3 and leaving holes in the middle of the field isn't the right strategy?

It’s not what I would be doing!! That’s for Sure!!!!

[RashanGary]

Donald out doesn't help them

[GB-Brandon]

Pettine needs to let the back end play!!!!

[Joemailman]

He who hesitates is lost.

[pittstang5]

Special teams continue to suck

[beveaux1]

We can't return. Bad STs

[George Cumby]

I want more Dillon.

[George Cumby]

Leeeeeeeeeroy Jenkins! just stoned Donald.

[beveaux1]

Hard running!

[George Cumby]

Starting to snow?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Wow. Packers all over running hard

[GB-Brandon]

I want more Dillon too!!!

[beveaux1]

The three headed RB monster.

[pittstang5]

Pound, pound, pound..wear that defense out!

[George Cumby]

Shame to lose Jones

[Fosco33]

Flurries, fans, football. Good stuff

[smuggler]

Rodgers missed an open Adams on 2nd down.

I don't think he missed him, he just wasn't as open as we think.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Hell yeah. Cheating on Donald

[Bossman641]

Backs are running HARD

[MadScientist]

Darnold losing control, but not getting to Rodgers.

[Guiness]

Goff is on. This is not good news!!!

Long time reader, first time replyer

You have no fucking clue, do you

[pittstang5]

RUN IT WITH DILLON!!!!!

[pittstang5]

NOW RUN IT WITH DILLON!!!!!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Adams!!!

[beveaux1]

Adams! TD!

[MadtownPacker]

haha fuck Brandon!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great play design

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I ain’t see hip hop safety Taylor Rapp out there.

[beveaux1]

That's a tough defense. Every yard was earned.

[falco]

haha fuck Brandon!

:-)

[Joemailman]

So far Packers have had the edge over Rams 2 best defensive players.

[Joemailman]

Great drive against a great defense.

[GB-Brandon]

Let’s put some heat on Goff now!!!

[MadtownPacker]

That's a tough defense. Every yard was earned.Yet the #1 offense is moving the ball on #2 defense.

[MadScientist]

Z!

[Cheesehead Craig]

That was just awful blocking

[beveaux1]

Z!!

[beveaux1]

Kirksey with a good play.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Cheating on St Louis again!

[Joemailman]

Let's take control of this game.

[MadtownPacker]

Big time defense on that drive.

[MadScientist]

Cheating on St Louis again!

As long as the refs keep giving them 15 yards they can keep doing it.

[GB-Brandon]

Right now the Packers are completely Manhandling the Rams upfront!!

[smuggler]

Troy Hill gettin' chomped in this game so far.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Stupid holding

[MadScientist]

Adams really has great footwork.

[Joemailman]

Adams really has great footwork.

Never seen better.

[beveaux1]

Williams runs hard!

[Fosco33]

Like the tempo

[beveaux1]

Rodgers TD! Called run.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Dear heavens that was vintage Aaron

[Joemailman]

Offensive execution has been incredible so far.

[MadtownPacker]

Adams really has great footwork.Last time I seen better was MJ moonwalking back in the 80s.

[MadScientist]

No lulls!

They better make that botched extra point irrelevant.

[Fosco33]

What a play!

Wonder if security gets that ball back? I’d ask them to have Aaron sign it and give it back to me.

[Harlan Huckleby]

that was a quick half

[GB-Brandon]

They have completely controlled the TOP which is huge.

[Cheesehead Craig]

3 for 3 great drives to start the game

[Joemailman]

Rams getting what they need most right now. Giving defense a chance to rest.

[Cheesehead Craig]

The usual poor defense at the end of the half

[MadScientist]

WTF is this defense?

[Teamcheez1]

We are playing so soft to end the half. Defense is garbage today

[Harlan Huckleby]

Rams getting what they need most right now. Giving defense a chance to rest.

I think teams get in really good shape towards end of season. Defenses tiring is a bigger deal in September/october

[beveaux1]

Playing nickel and dime and the Rams are running it.

[Teamcheez1]

Total garbage defense the first half

[GB-Brandon]

All that “Domination” and we’re up by “6”

[MadScientist]

That was shitty. Good thing the Packers start with the ball in the second half.

[Sparkey]

Pettine, you &$+#!

[GB-Brandon]

I knew this was too big for Pettine.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Total garbage defense the first half

The Rams had 67 yds of offense before that drive

[Gotarace]

That was shitty. Good thing the Packers start with the ball in the second half. We certainly don't need the go to sleep third quarters we been having lately

[Anti-Polar Bear]

51 has a bum hand. Get him outta there!

[beveaux1]

We certainly don't need the go to sleep third quarters we been having lately

So true.

[smuggler]

That does not feel warm and fuzzy.

[Massive J]

Pettine, the scroteless wonder.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Love the aggressiveness

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great finish to the half. Took back that momentum

[MadScientist]

That lightning drive helps. Still need points on the first drive of the second half.

[beveaux1]

Got points. Two explosive plays. Their defense looked worse than ours.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Let's talk about how the Packers had 4 straight scoring drives vs the #1 defense

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Luckily Rams DBs Mr. Hyde-ed a couple of picks.

[mmmdk]

Packers offense has been dominant versus a top notch Rams defense. Packers defense...I just don't trust that unit and I don't like their attitude...as in being too cocky. Pack D's not that good.

[scharpcheddar]

Fakest interception drops on earth.

Scripted entertainment

[smuggler]

I think the D looked alright except for at the end of that half with the bend-but-don't-break. It failed. As usual.

[Bossman641]

The defense was absolutely pathetic on that rams td drive

[KYPack]

Fakest interception drops on earth.

Scripted entertainment

Go post on a UFO site.

[Fosco33]

Two score game w/ ball and left 5 pts out there. Def needs to be ready on the ball w/ rams tempo. Stop this prevent bullshit

[smuggler]

Packers need to come out in the 2nd half and start strong and put points on the board. They can't let the Rams continue to rely on their running game.

[falco]

Go post on a UFO site.

or in FYI

:O

[Bossman641]

Huuuge drive coming out of half

[Anti-Polar Bear]

2 games in row 12 has gotten lucky with Mr. Hyde drops (recall Mr. Hyde dropping a Kap gimme pick).

12 has been ballin’ but can’t fucking be throwing rocks right at DBs.

[beveaux1]

Packers defended the pass to start the Rams drive and the Rams ran it...5 straight times.

Then they played zone with their usual skill until the Rams got to the 10.

Good play calling by the Rams. Bad play calling by the Packers.

[George Cumby]

Go post on a UFO site.

lol

[beveaux1]

We really should never play zone. We're a poor zone team.

[Sparkey]

Rams will make some adjustments. Hope Packers stay patient and methodical. Don't fall in love with passing that you lose your tempo and rythm.

[Massive J]

Need a solid drive to start the dreaded 3rd quarter.i

[George Cumby]

Rashan Gary pretty quiet today.

[smuggler]

May be true, but a guy like McVay will beat man defense with scrapes and rubs if you make it too obvious.

[George Cumby]

Need some hits on Goff.

[smuggler]

Might be without Crosby in the 2nd half...

[Cheesehead Craig]

Oh beautiful

[Sparkey]

Y E S

[George Cumby]

Might be without Crosby in the 2nd half...

Looks like a sprained A/C joint.

[Harlan Huckleby]

little hold there at line

[George Cumby]

LOL

[Cheesehead Craig]

Pam Oliver needs to retire

[George Cumby]

Oh, dude.

She's hammered.

[Bossman641]

Pam oliver can barely fuckin speak

[Sparkey]

I love them running straight at the DT

[Tony Oday]

Pam hitting the sauce hard.

[Massive J]

Oh yeah.

[Joemailman]

Taking control.

[beveaux1]

Another good drive.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That was a huuuuge drive

[Anti-Polar Bear]

33 has a GB bling. Dude wants to be in GB. Pay the man, German Shepherd!

[George Cumby]

EZ

[Teamcheez1]

Why go for 2 unless Crosby is hurt?

[Harlan Huckleby]

PI

[smuggler]

Running game appears to be working. Not sure if that would be true against the Saints or the Bucs, but looking like we might get the chance to find out.

[Cheesehead Craig]

5 straight scoring drives

[MadScientist]

They needed that dtive.

They also needed a better play called for the conversion.

[Joemailman]

Why go for 2 unless Crosby is hurt?

Because 27 would make it a 3 score lead.

[George Cumby]

I want the D to hammer Goff.

[Bossman641]

I dunno what the chart said but I don't like them going for two. Would rather be up 16 and them have to convert two two point conversions. Then again, I'm not sure we've stopped a 2 point try all year

[mmmdk]

I want Aaron Jones back for next season.

[George Cumby]

Gary held the edge there.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fuck O’Day and Shadow. Two racist fucks.

Ain’t nothing wrong with Pam Oliver. If it was Erin Andrews out there sounding “drunk”, O’Day would be like, fuck yeah, she speaks Aryan.

[Cheesehead Craig]

2 straight pressures!

[Bossman641]

Turnover would be huge

[Sparkey]

Gary with a big play

[beveaux1]

There's Gary.

[Bossman641]

Fuck O’Day and Shadow. Two racist fucks.

Ain’t nothing wrong with Pam Oliver. If it was Erin Andrews out there sounding “drunk”, O’Fay would be like, fuck yeah, she speaks American.

Lol, she sounded awful

[mmmdk]

I want the D to hammer Goff.

And they did!

[beveaux1]

Our STs need help.

[Harlan Huckleby]

who is Tavon Austin?

[Joemailman]

Clark and Gary!

A nice long 85 yard drive would put this game away.

[George Cumby]

Fuck O’Day and Shadow. Two racist fucks.

Ain’t nothing wrong with Pam Oliver. If it was Erin Andrews out there sounding “drunk”, O’Day would be like, fuck yeah, she speaks Aryan.

BS. Oliver used to be like this new girl, Pink. Bright eyed and bushy tailed. The difference is readily apparent.

She's on something or drunk.

[Bossman641]

who is Tavon Austin?

A net negative to the team, it appears

[smuggler]

Pam hitting the sauce hard.

She doesn't do well in the cold. She stops moving her upper lip and enunciating. She's not drunk though. She's a teetotaler.

[Joemailman]

Our STs need help.

It would be almost unfair if the Packers had good ST play.

[Sparkey]

who is Tavon Austin?
A special teams player who has skills but is always leaving you wishing for more.

[Zool]

A net negative to the team, it appears

Well they cut Shepard when they signed him. So, is that a push?

[smuggler]

Rashan Gary pretty quiet today.

Prophetic

[Cheesehead Craig]

No holding there

[George Cumby]

It's sunny and 65 here in Cali, the shots of cold, gray drizzle are making me miss 'Sconny.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

fuck 12! wide open!

[Harlan Huckleby]

wide open miss

[Teamcheez1]

MVS good, Rodgers missed him twice so far

[smuggler]

Shitty call against Wagner.

[beveaux1]

Wow!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Packers gonna run for over 250 yards today

[George Cumby]

Woot.

[mmmdk]

Geez, Rodgers, go easy on'em...

[Cheesehead Craig]

Dammit Lazard

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fuck 13! wide open!

[Harlan Huckleby]

terrible, easy soft catch

[George Cumby]

He's gotta catch that.

[mmmdk]

Those Lizard hands are no good...

[mmmdk]

Those Lizard hands are no good...

in the cold!

[Teamcheez1]

Poor offensive series

[George Cumby]

no flag?

[GB-Brandon]

Well there goes “The Catch The Ball” in my keys to win. Let’s see how this turns out!!

Will probably at least cost a lot of people $ on the cover.

[mmmdk]

A Packer punt...

[Joemailman]

Damn. Rams still in it. For now.

[smuggler]

no flag?

I like the no flag. Williams went up for the ball. MVS didn't.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I like the no flag. Williams went up for the ball. MVS didn't.

Agreed. MVS didn't fight for that

[GB-Brandon]

This happens every week and people still tell me we don’t need an upgrade at receiver!!!!!

It’s fucken amazing!!!!!

[Bossman641]

This happens every week and people still tell me we don’t need an upgrade at receiver!!!!!

It’s fucken amazing!!!!!

Of course we can use an upgrade. You ignore the fact we were the 1 scoring offense in the league

[Massive J]

Rushing 3 is pushing me off.

[Bossman641]

Well they cut Shepard when they signed him. So, is that a push?

Touche....a bag of dog crap would be an upgrade over shepherd

[Harlan Huckleby]

rams on march

[mmmdk]

This Packers defense will let you down...

[GB-Brandon]

The ignorance is probably gonna cost is a Super Bowl!!!

[Bossman641]

Man, come on defense

[Massive J]

OK rushing 5 & not getting close pisses me off more.

[George Cumby]

D is confused.

[mmmdk]

What defense?

[Teamcheez1]

The secondary has zero passes defensed in the game

[Cheesehead Craig]

The secondary has zero passes defensed in the game

Lot of quick short passes

[George Cumby]

What defense?

Lol.

The one that held the rams to 10 points.

[GB-Brandon]

Of course we can use an upgrade. You ignore the fact we were the 1 scoring offense in the league

I don’t care. I care about “catching the Fucken Ball” when it counts which these guys have proven week in and out they can’t other then Adams and Tonyan!!

Stats don’t mean shit right now!!!!!!!

[mmmdk]

Rams defense keeping them in the game...Packers defense keeping Rams in the game! :-(

[beveaux1]

Bad defense.

[mmmdk]

Stupid D

[Cheesehead Craig]

That was a pretty 2 pt conversion

[GB-Brandon]

The offense could of basically put this game away and they FUCKEN DROPPED THE BALL!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!
