Official Packers at Buccaneers NFC Championship Game Thread

[MadtownPacker]

Damn it has been a long week. I haven’t been this hyped up for a game in a while. To me this IS the NFL championship game. No doubt the winner of this takes it all in two week. Of course it had to be the one team that rolled the Pack hard in the regular season! To Be the best you must beat the best right. Well Rodgers has a chance to lean the greatest QB of this era argument his way. LaFleur can cement his status as a great coach. Defense can finally get some credit for not allowing more than 20 the last month or so. All kinds of good stuff can happen today and I believe the only thing that matters will happen.

Packers 32 - Tompa Bay 30

[George Cumby]

Packers win.

[Bossman641]

Battle of the Bays... Pack take it 27-20

[texaspackerbacker]

Packers win and not close

[George Cumby]

Joe Buck's hair.

There.

I said it.

[Gotarace]

Pack 34- Bucs 27 Go Pack Go. We really need to rattle Tommy Boy for a victory

[jklowan]

Pack 27 bucs 24

[MadScientist]

Fuck the Bucs.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Bucs losing Winfield is a something

[TravisWilliams23]

The past NFC championship games, the Pack were either missing players or on the road. This time, Rodgers has help on offense with a ground game, the D is always a question but have been playing well, recently. I like Green Bay today 38-21. IT IS TIME!

[George Cumby]

Wish it was snowing.

[George Cumby]

Tom Rinaldi isn't drunk.

[George Cumby]

Nor is Erin Andrews.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Hey O’Day, the damn anthem is playing and the Packers are no where to be found! Don’t like it, go root for the fucking NHL!

Packers 72, Pirates of the Caribbean 0

Power to the Packers!

[Joemailman]

Pack 27

Bucs 23

[KYPack]

Take us home Mad

[easy cheesy]

I think this will be "Man Meeting Moment" for Rodgers and the Pack. That's what my gut is ultimately telling me. That being said, my gut is also in complete knots and my palms are sweaty and I'm reaching for my first- of many to come I am sure- glasses of wine. Packers 42 Tampa 27... I'm going big... GO PACK GO!!!

[King Friday]

Let's go boys... Pack by 6

[King Friday]

Good luck running today Tampa
Brady is going to have to pass...a lot

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Why the fuck is O’Sullivan covering 13?

[George Cumby]

Gary

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Get 39 outta there!

[GB-Brandon]

Sullivan is getting “Used”

[Harlan Huckleby]

Looks like last time

[GB-Brandon]

In the playoffs they expose your “weakest link”

[Cheesehead Craig]

Awful play by King

[King Friday]

Brady is not going to hold the ball... Need to cover the first move on defense and take your chances

[beveaux1]

So easy.

[GB-Brandon]

Pass rush isn’t getting home.

[Teamcheez1]

That was some terrible defense.

Three 3rd down conversions.

[George Cumby]

King could've had that.

[King Friday]

Double Evans... All the time

[Joemailman]

King mistimed his jump.

[beveaux1]

We're playing a real QB this time.

[Harlan Huckleby]

That was a hell of a pass by Brady dropping it over defender

[RashanGary]

Not a great start there, eh. Well, gotta hope to mix it up and catch brady off guard at some point. Run defense has been good so far

[King Friday]

Need to double Evans... Most other WRs couldn't even catch the ball

[RashanGary]

We need 3 and a stop or 7 and get ready got the shootout. Curious if we run the ball well against this defense

[GB-Brandon]

If Pettine can’t adjust we’re Fucked!!!

[KYPack]

It's my fault. Couldn't find my lucky Packer hat.

[beveaux1]

Fast ILBs are our usual bane.

[Bossman641]

D had their chances but giving up 3 third and long is just terrible.

[mmmdk]

Not surprised by this overrated Packers D. And why is it Aikman...can't stand his voice.

[MadtownPacker]

It's my fault. Couldn't find my lucky Packer hat. CTE?

[King Friday]

We did get a 10-0 lead last time... So maybe getting behind is the better option

[Cheesehead Craig]

Face mask

[King Friday]

Start going play action already... The Bucs are out to stop the run

[Teamcheez1]

Terrible offense. He had time to throw that

[beveaux1]

Fast LBs kill us.

[mmmdk]

Done!

[GB-Brandon]

And “The Missing Piece” comes to haunt us!!!!

“Insanity” LOL!!!

[MadtownPacker]

Stop is required right here.

[beveaux1]

STs suck, as usual. We need a new punter.

[KYPack]

CTE?

I got it now, pal.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Had Adams but couldn't get away from the rush

[King Friday]

Need a new ST coach

[mmmdk]

Will it snow in Green Bay during the game? Only way I see a win.

[Sparkey]

Ughhh, not a good start.

[MadtownPacker]

Terrible offense. He had time to throw thatThat last camera angle showed Adams open. Maybe Rodgers had committed to run at that point.

[GB-Brandon]

Terrible offense. He had time to throw that

Go get a legit Weapon!!!

K-mart card not accepted in this game!!!

[KYPack]

White and David are two bad men.

[beveaux1]

One series, one sack

[MadtownPacker]

Go get a legit Weapon!!!

K-mart card not accepted in this game!!!Dude focus on the game not the same rant. Not asking for me.

[beveaux1]

4-4 on 3rd down.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great play King

[KYPack]

Go get a legit Weapon!!!

K-mart card not accepted in this game!!!

We know your bullshit.

Shut the fuck up

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Get off the fucking field!!!!

[beveaux1]

King!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Bloody hell

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Jupiter’s fucking Cock!!!

[beveaux1]

5-5.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Christ

[GB-Brandon]

Unbelievable!!!!! Fucken disaster!!

[mmmdk]

Loser defense :x

[Teamcheez1]

Pettine’s last stand. Just garbage

[Sparkey]

Looked like 3 lineman past 5 yards before the ball was thrown.

[Cheesehead Craig]

I thought those OL were too far downfield on that screen

[Anti-Polar Bear]

3rd and 14 a fucking screen and still a fuck up. Fuck!!!!!

[GB-Brandon]

Dude focus on the game not the same rant. Not asking for me.

I was. Nobody could get open on 3rd down!!!!!

It kills and pains me to see what could of been!!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

Finally!

[MadtownPacker]

There it is!

[Sparkey]

KC!

[KYPack]

Big Kenny Clark

[beveaux1]

Clark! 5-6.

[Joemailman]

Cletidus!

[easy cheesy]

Thank you Clark!

[GB-Brandon]

Alright Let’s Go!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Cletidus!

Bum jumped offside. Got lucky bloody pirates weren’t set.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Don't like fair catch at 10, take your chances

[MadtownPacker]

I was. Nobody could get open on 3rd down!!!!!Then talk about what is happening in the game not the same shit as every other thread. Look I just breeze past many of your post but I can see how it is annoying to many posters. When you make post that are on topic I tend to read them because those are usually really good.

[RashanGary]

Brady has been on but defense playing pretty well. We need points.

[King Friday]

I think we need to up the tempo on offense

[GB-Brandon]

We know your bullshit.

Shut the fuck up

Fuck You!!!!!!!

[Teamcheez1]

Going side to side is not going to beat this defense

[Harlan Huckleby]

Bucs playing close to LOS

[pittstang5]

OMG!!!! Cmon Rogers...throw the damn ball!!!!

[Bossman641]

Jesus christ Brandon, just stop it. Yes we know you want a wr.

[King Friday]

And stop throwing behind the LOS

[Sparkey]

God damnit. Wide open Rodgers sucks

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great play

[RashanGary]

Whew, thank you lizard

[pittstang5]

ok, ok...breathing room! Let's Go Offense!!!

[beveaux1]

2 series, 2 sacks. Great play by Rodgers.

[mmmdk]

AR & offense need to have the game of their lives to win this one.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Offense getting some flow now.

[RashanGary]

7 here is a big deal. Tonyan and Lizard playing well, thankfully! Keep coming. Break a run, get a turn over, etc

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Pirates ILBers are fast but they look like midgets out there. If fucking Packers gonna keep running the fucking rock, put fucking Dillion out there to fucking punish the fuckers!!!!

[KYPack]

We will be OK.

Just made my first rum and coke.

[RashanGary]

AR & offense need to have the game of their lives to win this one.

This defense we playing looks tough. Gonna take a good one from 12 for sure

[GB-Brandon]

A score here would be huge. Things have been “shaky” to start!!

[HarveyWallbangers]

On that 3rd and 14 conversion for Tampa, their OL were 10 yards down the field blocking. Isn't that illegal?

[RashanGary]

We will be OK.

Just made my first rum and coke.

Solid analysis. If this works, we're gonna need to have you around more

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Jones and Williams get bear hugged by the midgets easily.

[Cheesehead Craig]

On that 3rd and 14 conversion for Tampa, their OL were 10 yards down the field blocking. Isn't that illegal?

That's what LaFluer was upset about

[Harlan Huckleby]

No run blocking today

[Bossman641]

Its concerning the offense isn't playing "on time".

[Cheesehead Craig]

Whoooo!!!!

[Joemailman]

MVS!

[mmmdk]

C'mon, bring the snow Green Bay :pack:

[Sparkey]

MVS !

[MadtownPacker]

Damn!’nn! MVS said fuck Brandon!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Hey Kentucky,
I was the first member of the MVS fan club!

[GB-Brandon]

Thank God.

[Harlan Huckleby]

MVP - MVS

[easy cheesy]

We will be OK.

Just made my first rum and coke.

***Cheers*** and a hale and hearty ***clink*** to you Sir!!! TOUCHDOWN!!!!!

[Bossman641]

Suck on that Brandon

[KYPack]

Rum and Coke works every time.

Goddamn that q1 went like lightening.

[Joemailman]

That is a play MVS woild not have made last year.

[RashanGary]

Adams
Lizard
Tonyan
Lewis

AND

MVS

coming up big. We need a defensive stand. Come on, Alexander! Make a play bud. Clark too! Our best guys need to come up big here!

[beveaux1]

MVS!!

[GB-Brandon]

Damn!’nn! MVS said fuck Brandon!!

Yeah, every time they make a play it’s “Fuck Brandon” but if say a peep I get censored!! LOL

It’s all good!!! I’m making $ on this!!

Go Pack Go!!

[Joemailman]

Thank God.

No. Thank MVS.

[Sparkey]

MVS did a great job of adjusting to the throw without committing early or giving up leverage on his route.

[beveaux1]

That was a really beautiful throw!

[GB-Brandon]

I said “IF THEY CATCH THE FUCKEN BALL” we would win. Go read my Fucken posts !

[mmmdk]

No. Thank MVS.

Right on :tup:

[Cheesehead Craig]

Clark showing up big so far

[jklowan]

Clark having a game so far

[mmmdk]

What's with the pussy kickoffs?

[KYPack]

We need to muddy Brady's pocket

[Joemailman]

Godwin heard foorstwps.

[KYPack]

What's with the pussy kickoffs?

Mace is hurting.

[GB-Brandon]

Fuck!!!

[mmmdk]

Godwin heard foorstwps.

It's the cold.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Fuck me

[jklowan]

fuck

[Teamcheez1]

More garbage on defense.

The secondary hasn’t covered anyone
Savage has to make that play

[beveaux1]

Just a great run.

[easy cheesy]

Fuckin' hell

[mmmdk]

Not so Savage defending...

[Harlan Huckleby]

no D

[Joemailman]

It's the cold.

It ain't that cold.

[GB-Brandon]

Savage has to make that play. He was in position and everything. That’s why Gute invested so much in him!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

3rd down defense is shit

[RashanGary]

Fuck. That sucked. We need another score and get the ball at half. Our run game is suspect today. I dunno. I hope it doesn't get away from us with just passing passing passing into a tough pass rush. I could see mlf and 12 abandoning the run

[beveaux1]

no D

I think we're playing D, they just seem to want it more.

[mmmdk]

If Packers offense score 42 points...it might not be enough.

[RashanGary]

We need to score. The second half can be ours. If you're not used to the cold, it wears you down. A score here is huge

[GB-Brandon]

I’m afraid we’re in for a “Nail Bitter” Getting worried.

[King Friday]

Gary needs to hold the edge on the run... Stop charging into the middle of the field.

[mmmdk]

It ain't that cold.

True but it's Tampa hands.

[KYPack]

My stomach unwound after we had our drive.

Now, it's tightening up again.

[Teamcheez1]

It ain't that cold.

It’s 29 and sunny in GB.
30 and snowing at my house south of the Mason Dixon line.

[Joemailman]

D is giving up the primary thing Pettine's D is designed to stop. Big plays downfield.

[mmmdk]

We need to score. The second half can be ours. If you're not used to the cold, it wears you down. A score here is huge

I agree or just hope, I guess.

[Bossman641]

Bucs 6/7 on third down and I think 4 of those were 8+ yards

[Rutnstrut]

People just stop with the cold talk. It's not fucking cold out.

[Teamcheez1]

Our special teams suck

[Zool]

Getting beat like a rented mule on D. Tampa looks like they are faster at every position and they look urgent every play.

[KYPack]

Touchback?

[SMBASS]

Winning Conference Championship games is really hard when you have shit Defense and Special Teams units.

[mmmdk]

Touchback?

Yup :tup:

[GB-Brandon]

It’s 29 and sunny in GB.
30 and snowing at my house south of the Mason Dixon line.

I’m a few blocks from the stadium and it’s beautiful!!

[RashanGary]

My stomach unwound after we had our drive.

Now, it's tightening up again.

Rum and cokes are working. If it's not broke, don't fix it

[Harlan Huckleby]

AR & offense need to have the game of their lives to win this one.

Good call

[beveaux1]

Getting beat like a rented mule on D. Tampa looks like they are faster at every position and they look urgent every play.

That's a good word...urgent. We aren't playing poorly, they're playing better.

[RashanGary]

People just stop with the cold talk. It's not fucking cold out.

If you're not used to 30, 3 hours outside makes ya tired. It matters

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Our special teams suck

Just texted my Vegas broker Bobblehead. I just put my minimum wage paycheck on Pettine and whoever the fuck is the ST coach being terminated IF the Pack don’t pull off a victory.

[KYPack]

Rum and cokes are working. If it's not broke, don't fix it

I may swtich to paint thinner and lemonade

[Harlan Huckleby]

D is giving up the primary thing Pettine's D is designed to stop. Big plays downfield.

The receivers aren't wide open but more physical

[mmmdk]

BRING THE SNOW, PACKERS :pack:

[GB-Brandon]

Williams is a beast!!

[GB-Brandon]

MVS coming through for us so far!!!!

[MadtownPacker]

After the shitty start only down a TD ain’t bad.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Feel the mo

[Joemailman]

Big Dog!

[Zool]

Dick bag and cock holster are in rare form in the booth. Almost the 3rd sack of the game and Buck says they finally got to Rodgers.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Whew. Glad Tonyan was there

[MadtownPacker]

If you wanted to a sign there it is. Tonyan for the save.

[Bossman641]

I can't believe toss plays have worked against this D

[MadtownPacker]

Run it again!

[KYPack]

Jones running will take the blitz away from Bowles

[GB-Brandon]

Jones up the gut is HUGE!!!!

[RashanGary]

I know it's not cold for us but your first day in 30 degrees wears you out. I don't care what you say

[Harlan Huckleby]

Whata drive

[Cheesehead Craig]

Good timeout.

[GB-Brandon]

Break their Fucking Will!!!

[KYPack]

Bowles had a blitz pack on our left.

Arod hit the T

[RashanGary]

Dick bag and cock holster are in rare form in the booth. Almost the 3rd sack of the game and Buck says they finally got to Rodgers.

The way he strokes brady feels erotic tho

[Cheesehead Craig]

Davante!!!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Where was the helmet to helmet call on the Jones fumble? Not really liking the refs right now.

[Harlan Huckleby]

That on Rodgers. Adams had a tough catch.

[MadtownPacker]

Davante!!!Damn. He dropped one that mattered.

[GB-Brandon]

Fuck!!!

[Teamcheez1]

Poor execution by Adams and the offense

[Cheesehead Craig]

Rodgers bad throw on 3rd

[Sparkey]

Lazarus wide open but Rodgers with tunnel vision to Adams

[mmmdk]

Not good enough!

[KYPack]

We need a stop, BAAAAD

[GB-Brandon]

I don’t know why they stopped just pounding them down the gut. But Adams dropped one on 1st down that should of been a TD.

[Harlan Huckleby]

It was still a good drive to hold the ball that long.

Now they need a stop.

Ya, right.

[Teamcheez1]

Rodgers needs to pick his game up

[beveaux1]

Adams open on all three.

[mmmdk]

Adams, why today? :-|

[SMBASS]

Need a stop or TO here. D has to get off the field.

[GB-Brandon]

Lot of blame to go around on that goal line series!!!!

[Zool]

D better figure something out.

[Cheesehead Craig]

That 2nd down play I think Lazard was supposed to pick for Adams.

[bobblehead]

That was all on Rodgers. Lazard all alone at the goal line for the TD

[GB-Brandon]

Yes. The D needs to show up!

[Harlan Huckleby]

Adams, why today? :-|

All the throws were off, IMO. No bad plays by Adams, but he often makes um.

[bobblehead]

Adams also knew where that back shoulder was going and dropped it.

[beveaux1]

We held them to the 25 on STs.

[mmmdk]

Where was the helmet to helmet call on the Jones fumble? Not really liking the refs right now.

But they like Brady in the Super Bowl :wave:

[GB-Brandon]

That was all on Rodgers. Lazard all alone at the goal line for the TD

Adams dropped a TD on 1st down dude. That should of been the end of it.

Game over!!!!

[HarveyWallbangers]

All the throws were off, IMO. No bad plays by Adams, but he often makes um.

Umm... no. The first one was a great throw and Tae should have had it.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Alexander got fooled

[beveaux1]

7-8 on 3rd down.

[pittstang5]

CMON DEFENSE!!! NEED A TURNOVER!!!

[mmmdk]

Cocky Packers D...all talk but they still suck :-|

[GB-Brandon]

This is starting to make me sick!!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Quit celebrating on after 1st and 2nd downs if you can’t get off the fucking field on 3rd!!!!!!!

[beveaux1]

Kirksey!!

[Cheesehead Craig]

A stop!

[beveaux1]

7-9, punt time.

[GB-Brandon]

Amazing. We held on 3rd down!!

[pittstang5]

Brady has all fuckin Day!!!

[Joemailman]

Let's go 2 minute drive.

[mmmdk]

3rd down stop.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Williams missed a big cutback opp there.

[GB-Brandon]

Hope everyone took the Packers on the “ML”

[HarveyWallbangers]

Cocky Packers D...all talk but they still suck

Suck it! Have faith!

I do not understand why we aren't pounding A.J. Dillon against these small ILBs though.

[Teamcheez1]

Defense hasn’t played well, but the offense has to do better than 10 points in a half.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Let's go 2 minute drive.

I'm more worried about having to punt and giving Brady decent field position.

One first down and I'm happy

[beveaux1]

Defense hasn’t played well, but the offense has to do better than 10 points in a half.

This is only our 4th drive. We've scored 2 out of 3.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Defense has made a lot of good plays, but they have blown their opportunities. If Savage doesn't get bodied on the long throw to Godwin, they are at 7 points at almost half.

[Bossman641]

Defense has made a lot of good plays, but they have blown their opportunities. If Savage doesn't get bodied on the long throw to Godwin, they are at 7 points at almost half.

This

[pittstang5]

Let's Go Offense!!!!

[mmmdk]

Suck it! Have faith!

I do not understand why we aren't pounding A.J. Dillon against these small ILBs though.

2nd half, I guess.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Tampa should call TO
