Official Packers vs Saints At Jacksonville Game Day Thread

[Joemailman]

The last time the Packers faced a Saints team that didn't have Drew Brees the score was:

Packers 52
Saints 3

I'm not sayin'. I'm just sayin'.

Forecast: Cloudy 85 degrees. Heat index of 90. Not bad for Jacksonville this time of year.

[RashanGary]

I don’t think weather will play much a factor. We had a really hot summer in Green Bay. Our guys should still be conditioned for it.

It’s going to come down to that OL. If Jenkins and those two young guys hold up, we should win easy. Imma wait for the inactives are shown and probably make a small bet on Green Bay.

[Joemailman]

2 guys who can hurt the Packers: Kamara and returner Deonte Harris. Tackle those guys and this should be no problem.

Packers 34
Saints 17

[RashanGary]

Deonte Harris is amazing as a returner. He was one of the highlights from last season. No one like him right now.

I just don’t picture Winston keeping up with Rodgers.

[RashanGary]

Saints are pretty good at DE. Elgton Jenkins gonna get a test in week 1. AR12 said something about easing the load on the OL. So I know they’re not going in with a stubborn attitude. Zadarius is playing. A made a small $20 bet on the Packers to cover 4. Let’s go Packers.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[Joemailman]

Inactives:

Green Bay Packers

22 CB Shemar Jean-Charles
67 C Jake Hanson
90 DL Jack Heflin
58 LB Isaiah McDuffie
36 S Vernon Scott
New Orleans Saints

16 QB Ian Book
42 LB Chase Hansen
36 DB Jordan Miller
46 FB Adam Prentice
98 DE Payton Turner

[Spaulding]

Packers match up well against the Saints. Pack offense should be able to take advantage of the weak Saints secondary and the Packers offense should be able to load up with 7 in the box and stop Kamara. Alexander taking Callaway out of the play means one of their scrub WR's or mediocre tight end (Trautman) will have to break out. Don't see it happening.

Packers roll 38 to 24.

[texaspackerbacker]

RG, did you say the Packers are only favored by 4? That's easy money.

Packers 45 Saints 14

[King Friday]

Packers offense should be too much for New Orleans to handle. 31-20 Packers.

[Joemailman]

Will we miss start of Packers game because Vikings game in overtime?

[Rutnstrut]

The hallmark of any Packers defense. Make mediocre QB's look like stars.

[Joemailman]

Not much running room so far.

[beveaux1]

We won't shut them out.

[Sparkey]

I love the Packers pass rush.

[Joemailman]

3 1st downs by Winston running.

[beveaux1]

D is struggling.

[King Friday]

Looks like a team who refused to play anyone in preseason. Might as well be Aug 12 for the Packers.

[beveaux1]

It's early, but we look like we didn't play preseason.

[beveaux1]

Down 10-0

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Told you fucks, fucking Frog shoulda hired Al Harris instead of Barry.

[King Friday]

Same pathetic shit on defense. Can't dump the 3-4 fast enough for me.

[Rutnstrut]

Like I said. Packers D loves to make superstars out of shitty QB's. This won't be a pretty game for the defense.

[beveaux1]

Still look like they're shaking off the cobwebs. Saints look good.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

They gave Benkert’s number to the punter!

[King Friday]

Seriously Rodgers? Eat the ball for an 11 yard loss rather than just overthrowing the TE you are staring at? Horribly pathetic start for Rodgers at this point.

[Sparkey]

They are getting their asses handed to them

[King Friday]

This game is over. Our defense is a sieve, and our LBs are absolute horseshit.

[MadScientist]

Of course they can't actually make a stop. Packers look like they are out of shape and unprepared.

[Guiness]

What the absolute fuck is going on out there?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

97 is trash

[Anti-Polar Bear]

How much they’re paying 97 again?

[King Friday]

Rodgers just stands on the sidelines like a pussy. Can't imagine Tom Brady just standing there staring into space like a hippie.

[Guiness]

I feel like we're a bunch of Chicken Littles in here, but wow does this look bad.

[beveaux1]

Sad, just sad.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Barry’s trash. Left TEs wide open twice on 4th downs

[beveaux1]

All this talk about loading up for a Super Bowl, be surprised after this off-season if we even win our division...and our division is weak.

[King Friday]

I'm over the "I'm scared to play anyone in preseason" deal. You learn how to prepare by actually doing it, not pretending it on some field where QBs wear red shirts. The Packers look like a team that hasn't played football in five years.

[King Friday]

Barry’s trash. Left TEs wide open twice on 4th downs

To this point, Barry is looking like a very poor hire.

[TravisWilliams23]

I always believe you gotta play 'some" in the preseason. This show looks like the starters haven't seen any live action in months.

[beveaux1]

More than 25 players had no pre-season action.

[King Friday]

Rodgers entirely uncomposed out there. Why the hell is he yelling at the ref while trying to get a TO?

[scharpcheddar]

Lol staged Entertainment. The team that's displaced has a commanding lead

[RashanGary]

Not going well. Painful to watch this defense. Gotta hope for a Winston interception.

[King Friday]

Not going well. Painful to watch this defense. Gotta hope for a Winston interception.

Except the Saints don't really look like they have to throw at this point.

[RashanGary]

We haven’t seen defense this bad in a little while. Damn, maybe that Berry hire isn’t panning out. I kind of suspected Lafleur was off his rocker when the only thing he seems to know about defense is that he wants energy. I mean, at least Pettine had them prepared.

[Joemailman]

They'll have a shot if they can score a TD coming out of halftime.

[RashanGary]

Maybe Rodgers prancing around in the offseason wasn’t the best move?

[beveaux1]

This is the third D coordinator that hasn't made use of the "talent" on defense. Maybe it's not the coordinator.

[red]

coming off of 2 timeouts, thats the fucking best you can come up with, a throw for 2 extra yards?

this defense is complete shit. the backups looked like shit in the preseason, and now the starters look just as bad. joe berry is one of the worst defensive coaches in the nfl, he has proven that twice already in the past. that is a horrible hire

and don't even fucking get me started on the starters not playing in the preseason at all and looking like it. practice reps are nowhere close to the same as game reps. this has to stop

[RashanGary]

They'll have a shot if they can score a TD coming out of halftime.

Crossing fingers we can make this a game. Winston has really made us pay with some back breaking runs. Maybe things get going here.

[Joemailman]

Maybe Rodgers prancing around in the offseason wasn’t the best move?

It's not like he's missing wide open receivers. Nothing looked right in the 1st half.

[RashanGary]

Meyers got rag dolled on one. Sucks having two rookies in and a guard playing tackle.

[red]

Maybe Rodgers prancing around in the offseason wasn’t the best move?

yeah, cause he looked like a complete joke on defense, and can't block for shit on the line and can't get open running routes

yup, its all on rodgers

[Anti-Polar Bear]

97 can’t shed blocks, can’t tackle, can’t rush the passer.

Any fat guy on the streets of Baltimore could suck like 97.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

33 hasn’t been seen since the NFC Championship game.

[beveaux1]

yeah, cause he looked like a complete joke on defense, and can't block for shit on the line and can't get open running routes

yup, its all on rodgers

Nope. This was a true team face plant. Defense looked bad. Offense looked bad. Rodgers looked bad. Only special teams looked OK. Never thought I'd say that in a game thread.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

yeah, cause he looked like a complete joke on defense, and can't block for shit on the line and can't get open running routes

yup, its all on rodgers

Word.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

33 can’t break a tackle to save Zeus’ rooster

[Jaire]

Sean Payton is a great coach. I just watched since the last Saints drive of 1st half.

They are getting out coached. Just my 2 cents and 1st impression.

[Joemailman]

Big Dog!

[scharpcheddar]

Lol, between you guys and the Buffalo chat box, this is hilarious

[Harlan Huckleby]

WE got um where we want um.

MVP! MVP! MVP!

[red]

fuck this team

[beveaux1]

Bad throw.

[Harlan Huckleby]

lord

[Sparkey]

The goat!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Rodgers entirely uncomposed out there. Why the hell is he yelling at the ref while trying to get a TO?

Word

[King Friday]

Rodgers...not looking MVP like today.

[King Friday]

Why isn't Dillon getting any chances to run after consecutive 6 yard runs?

[beveaux1]

Jenkins tackles better than anyone on defense.

[Harlan Huckleby]

More than 25 players had no pre-season action.

I count the first game as preseason. I guess the NFL counts it a little different. Butb you can't read too much in, the teams are all raw.

[King Friday]

MLF is going to get absolutely crucified in the presser after this one, and rightfully so.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Meyers got rag dolled on one. Sucks having two rookies in and a guard playing tackle.

Word

[beveaux1]

Their OL is better than ours. Their DL is better than ours. That's the ball game.

[beveaux1]

Good breakup by Stokes.

[King Friday]

Stokes with a play

[Jaire]

Th Montgomery muffs the punt

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I count the first game as preseason. I guess the NFL counts it a little different. Butb you can't read too much in, the teams are all raw.

Sup Harlan

[TravisWilliams23]

Good thing Cobb was brought back. Since it's the starters 1st pre-season game, why not see what Amari Rodgers can do?

[Jaire]

I count the first game as preseason. I guess the NFL counts it a little different. Butb you can't read too much in, the teams are all raw.



This

But the Saints are ready. They are also veteran whereas we have some rooks on oline

[beveaux1]

2nd half defensive adjustments.

[King Friday]

Rodgers might not want to skip out on the off-season again. He's not the greatest ever...and even Brady knows he has to put in the work.

[Jaire]

Stokes with a play


Yeah.


That was impressive for a first play

[beveaux1]

Rodgers looks rattled.

[MadScientist]

Rodgers is ruining his trade value.

[King Friday]

Wow Rodgers...you are bad.

[Sparkey]

Wow. This is a joke.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Sup Harlan

I have a bad feeling about this game. Just a hunch.

[red]

wow, just wow

this is probably the worst i've ever seen this team look to start a regular season

[beveaux1]

Just chunking it into double coverage.

[red]

Rodgers is ruining his trade value.

maybe he'll retire after the game, cause the whole team is shit

[red]

yeah, don't bother covering that guy

[Rutnstrut]

Looks like Rodgers should have focussed on playing instead of being a whine ass.

[beveaux1]

maybe he'll retire after the game, cause the whole team is shit

Well, we'll always have last year.

[Harlan Huckleby]

This is an old cliche, but Packers should play like score is 0-0. Just get the offense working.

[scharpcheddar]

Maybe Rodgers prancing around in the offseason wasn’t the best move?

He's only doing what the nfl pays him to

[red]

Looks like Rodgers should have focussed on playing instead of being a whine ass.

yup, all his fault

thats why mvs keeps getting wide open and the defense looks so good

[King Friday]

Complete trash. Unprepared. Unprofessional. Leaderless.

And Rodgers won't bother to accept one ounce of blame for his off-season schnanigans after the game.

[red]

yay, special teams finally getting in on the fun

[King Friday]

Saints may be the only home team to win a game in Jacksonville this year.

[beveaux1]

If they could just keep taking touchbacks.

[TravisWilliams23]

The teams play today is "a beautiful mystery".

[RashanGary]

Complete trash. Unprepared. Unprofessional. Leaderless.

And Rodgers won't bother to accept one ounce of blame for his off-season schnanigans after the game.

Yep

[red]

its pretty sad when you decide to go for it on 4th and 2 from your own 20 because it doesn't matter if the other team needs to go 20 yards or 90 yards, they're gonna score

DAMN YOU RODGERS!!!!!!! stop dropping the ball!!!!!!

[beveaux1]

Is it Love time yet? Don't need Rodgers to get hurt out there.

[RashanGary]

Good thing they drafted Jordan Love.

[red]

Is it Love time yet? Don't need Rodgers to get hurt out there.

honestly. if they get a TD on this drive, i would put him in to get him real reps

[King Friday]

Love can't do any worse at this point.

[Harlan Huckleby]

its pretty sad when you decide to go for it on 4th and 2 from your own 20 because it doesn't matter if the other team needs to go 20 yards or 90 yards, they're gonna score

DAMN YOU RODGERS!!!!!!! stop dropping the ball!!!!!!

If they punt they probably lose 5 minutes of clock. A 3-and-out not likely. So I thought going for it was OK.

[red]

wow. how the hell is that a penalty?

just fucking say you can't touch QBs anymore

[Harlan Huckleby]

how the fuck is that ruffing?

[Rastak]

You guys got fucked on that one. Vikings got jobbed also on a fumble at the end of the game.


*sigh*

[Jaire]

Trautman is always open!!!

Defense otherwise playing better 2nd half

Saints are ready. Pack not so much

This is preseason quality. Nothing to take from it

[red]

how the fuck is that ruffing?

even the 2 douchebags said that was a textbook example of what the nfl wants

[TravisWilliams23]

Is it Love time yet? Don't need Rodgers to get hurt out there.

Gotta ask the assistant GM from here on out if it's OK.

[Jaire]

Trautman is always open!!!

Defense otherwise playing better 2nd half

Saints are ready. Pack not so much

This is preseason quality. Nothing to take from it



Make that both TEs wide open

[red]

hell of a catch, where the fuck were the defenders

king finally hit someone, too bad it was his teammate

time for love

[Harlan Huckleby]

America's Game of The Week

[Joemailman]

Well, at least I won't have to start any more Game Day threads.

[RashanGary]

I think Rodgers should have been around for the offseason preparation.

[RashanGary]

It’s not the same game when you take Bakh and Lindsley out, shuffle the line and put two rookies in. Granted it was more defense, but the offense didn’t do much to make it a game.

[red]

omg

you're just dinking and dunking anyways

[Rutnstrut]

Tell me again football gods how linemen are a dime a dozen.

[red]

It’s not the same game when you take Bakh and Lindsley out, shuffle the line and put two rookies in. Granted it was more defense, but the offense didn’t do much to make it a game.

oh this is a whole team shit pie. coaches and players

i can't think of a single positive right now. crosby hit his one attempt? the new punter didn't suck?

[Joemailman]

Love time?

[Rutnstrut]

Imagine that another Kevin King fuck up.

[Sparkey]

Lol

[Guiness]

Lol

[George Cumby]

It's sunny and 90 degrees here in Cali, I've been running around gettin shit done. Last time I checked it was 10-0, NO.

Now?

WTAF?

LOL.

[Rastak]

Man Famous Jameis looks like Johnny Unitas.......I know, many of you have no clue about Johnny U.

[George Cumby]

Man Famous Jameis looks like Johnny Unitas.......I know, many of you have no clue about Johnny U.

That's what happens when you hire a chronic fuck up as your new D coordinator.

[RashanGary]

I think what we learned from this game is that Rodgers took his MVP season and then parlayed it into a hissy fit offseason and now he’s going to struggle and just look like a brat. Rodgers hissy fit was much cuter when 48 and 5 was his last act. 0-2 makes it look a bit silly.

[Jaire]

Payton will make Winston into a star. He has all the talent

[Joemailman]

I'm thinking worst opening week loss since losing 40-0 to Lions in 1971. Anyone?

[QBME]

Time to cut ties with Kevin “I’m tall and healthy “ King.

[beveaux1]

Gotta regroup and win next week. They can't play this bad again.

[Bossman641]

Maybe shouldn't sit the starters all preseason?

[Joemailman]

I know everyone is pointing to the fact that Packers starters didn't play at all in preseason. But I think the Packers have to take a close look at their preparation in the 2 weeks between the end of preseason and the start of the season.

[Spaulding]

Definitely a two case game although my live might disagree. Not sure what I was smoking in thinking they'd win big today. Going to be a long week before the next game. Only silver lining is that the Lions and Vikings lost and Bears are picked to lose. Might me we didn't lose a game to anybody in the division standings.

[RashanGary]

Gotta regroup and win next week. They can't play this bad again.

The OL, I don’t know if they can get much better with rookies. The rest of it can be a little better. The defense was awful. I’m shocked.

[MadScientist]

Maybe shouldn't sit the starters all preseason?

Packers were chickenshit about injuries in the preseason and they are playing like chickenshit today.

[MadScientist]

That's a fitting end to this shitshow.

[Jaire]

GB is not this bad.

Saints are not this good

Payton is amazing though.

[George Cumby]

What everyone who's watching it is describing is a team that thought they could throw their helmet onto the field and win.

Accurate?

[King Friday]

Time to cut ties with Kevin “I’m tall and healthy “ King.

That should've happened long before now, and is a sign of why today's performance is a team issue. If the leadership can't improve on a position like that in the off-season, there is little hope for the team as a whole.

[Guiness]

That's a fitting end to this shitshow.

+1

[Joemailman]

That's a fitting end to this shitshow.

Ot this.

[King Friday]

Winston throws for 5 tds and less than 150 yards. Barry's energy level better be tremendous this week.

[RashanGary]

Winston throws for 5 tds and less than 150 yards. Barry's energy level better be tremendous this week.

:lol:

[RashanGary]

Barry having more energy is the reason we got rid of pettine. Wow.

[MadScientist]

What everyone who's watching it is describing is a team that thought they could throw their helmet onto the field and win.

Accurate?
Exactly.

[Joemailman]

Defense gave up 4 red zone TD's and offense had 2 red zone turnovers.

[King Friday]

Exactly.

Starts and ends with the HOF QB believing he can just mail it through the off-season and turn it on like a switch. He's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is.

[scharpcheddar]

Lol yay, football hehe

[Freak Out]

A + Debacle

[MadScientist]

This was a Wizard of Oz team today - no heart, no brains, lead by someone with no balls, and their mighty wizard was just an old guy with no real power. It adds up to a flaming bag of dog doo.

jesus fucking christ, you guys and your blind hatred for rodgers is just insane

yup, he sucked today. how was it his fault the o-line couldn't pass block or run block? how was it his fault the RBs could find a hole or break a single tackle? how was it his fault that the WR's couldn't get any separation? how did he not get any pass rush? how did he not stop the run? why couldn't he cover anyone? why didn't he play the 25 guys who didn't play a single snap in preseason

he missed a handful of minicamp days. he was not the sole reason we got destroyed today. quit being so fucking lazy and trying to find one single guy you don't like to put the whole blame on

[RashanGary]

I wonder what Tex thought of Rodgers performance today? The OL doesn’t make much of a difference so Rodgers doesn’t have much of an excuse.

[George Cumby]

Factual or not, the blame being laid at Rodgers feet is very much a result of him making the off-season about himself.

If you make it about 'you', well, guess what, people will make it about 'you', good and bad.

[RashanGary]

Factual or not, the blame being laid at Rodgers feet is very much a result of him making the off-season about himself.

This is pretty much it. If he didn’t act like the savior this offseason, I wouldn’t hold him to a savior standard. He had an MVP year and he acted like he was the best player to ever play football with how he went about it. You better play good if you’re gonna act like that.

[King Friday]

You better play good if you’re gonna act like that.

And the team you are "leading to salvation" better not turn up dead next to a Jacksonville highway.

[George Cumby]

And the team you are "leading to salvation" better not turn up dead next to a Jacksonville highway.

You better. In his defense a little bit, in his PC the only player he said played bad was himself. No throwing anyone under the bus. He did say the energy felt "a little low". Said it felt like the San Diego game a couple of years ago.

[smuggler]

Not a way you want to start the season. The cupboards are bare in NO, they're not a contender right now, but we got absolutely trounced. I sort of had a suspicion we'd play down because of skipping the preseason, but we played REALLY down. I'm not ready to declare an emergency until I see them play next week, but yikes!

[Guiness]

The last time the Packers faced a Saints team that didn't have Drew Brees the score was:

Packers 52
Saints 3

I'm not sayin'. I'm just sayin'.

worth watching to see for yourself how bad things were and that we are not just over reacting

oh and wrs sucked, running backs sucked when given a chance, return game sucked, secondary was really bad, and king looked like he didn't learn a fucking thing since the NFCCG, yet still starts

Not a contender? That's silly. They're absolutely a contender. They have premier players at the important spots aside from QB. The DL is arguably the best in the NFL and the CB is also the one of the top 3 or so. The LBs IMO are pretty good too. OL very good as well.

How the heck did Aaron not convert a single third down? Woof, that's bad.

What did Peyton Manning do to beat cover 2 when teams sat in it?

You missed one thing: the punter was pretty good.

[Spaulding]

You missed one thing: the punter was pretty good.

Well, that and Crosby was money for his one opportunity.

[Jaire]

I only watched 5 games last year. They lost two. This is on me. I just have to stop watching.

[Jaire]

You better. In his defense a little bit, in his PC the only player he said played bad was himself. No throwing anyone under the bus. He did say the energy felt "a little low". Said it felt like the San Diego game a couple of years ago.


That's a nice comp. I forgot about that. Again I would not take anything from this game except that we will be missing Bakh for the next few games.


....ohhhh and King is not good. He really stuck out to me. Hope Stokes gets more snaps every week.
