The Official Week 3 Packers-Buccaneers GameDay Thread

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Stuck on the end of this ball and chain
And I'm on my way back down again
Stood on a bridge, tied to the noose
Sick to the stomach
You can say what you mean
But it won't change a thing
I'm sick of the secrets
Stood on the edge, tied to the noose

You came along and you cut me loose - Coldplay

Original lyrics next week if the Packers manage to win this game.

Packers 72
Bucfuckneers 0

Power to the Packers!

[George Cumby]

Suckaneers win.

[texaspackerbacker]

The Packers are good enough to beat Tampa at full strength if things go right. Tampa is way short of full strength with Evans not playing. If Godwin and/or Jones are also out and a couple of their other WRs are coming off minor injuries, the Packers have really lucked out. I doubt Fornette is missing, but that would help too. Even Barry's lame assed D scheme should stop them. If he wakes up and uses our super Corners in man coverage, so much the better. Hicks on D and maybe some in their O Line are apparently hurt too.

I'm not gonna predict a score. That can be jinxful. But we have an extreme likelihood of winning in these weird circumstances. On the slim chance we don't, maybe I and whoever else are optimists around here might have to revise our thinking a little bit.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[Joemailman]

Packers 20

Bucs 20

[Fosco33]

Pack plays bad in Fl heat all the time. Only shot we have is that Bucs are banged up.

I think we come out ok, close by half but need to scramble in 4th and lose by a TD.

[smuggler]

Impressed Watkins already managed to injure his hamstring. Think the game will be like 17 - 10 with (probably) the Bucs on top, but hoping we get a few breaks and win 24-10.

[texaspackerbacker]

A bunch of negativity hahahaha. Too bad we don't have a "pick'em league" where all these people could pick against the Packers.

[Fosco33]

You’re mistaken on negativity. And I used to pick 60+% against the spread.

How many times have the packers played well in heat/humidity?

We do have a chance given the Bucs are banged up (but so are we). I hope we blow them out 42-3. But I wouldn’t bet any money on the Packers on this game. Not a dime.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

A bunch of negativity hahahaha. Too bad we don't have a "pick'em league" where all these people could pick against the Packers.

They don’t wish for any original lyrics. lol

Have the title picked out: A Love Song For Aaron Rodgers. Just need to compose a verse about Jordan Love while dedicating it to Butte.

[texaspackerbacker]

Buffalo lost to the Dolphins in the Florida heat, so I suppose the same could happen for the Packers, but I doubt it.

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm watching RedZone. There's a hive of bees under the goal post in Tampa hahahahaha.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Why do Greg Olson look so much like Dexter Morgan, the serial killer?

[red]

"whos brady going to throw to"?

answer, whoever gets open, unlike our QB who won't throw it to a guy who's wide open but a yard out of place

[red]

Why do Greg Olson look so much like Dexter Morgan, the serial killer?

he kinda does

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Damn Douglas!

[beveaux1]

Clark!!

[red]

not terrible, not great

[Joemailman]

Cletidus!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Cletidus!

A more agile QB woulda escaped Clarks so-so tackle. But nice penetration.

[Joemailman]

Hey! Packers D didn't give up TD on opening drive.

[MadScientist]

Hey! Packers D didn't give up TD on opening drive.

Will wonders never cease.

[MadScientist]

Cobb actually looked quick on that one.

[red]

doubs just can't make anything look easy. hs a great catch and run, and the ball comes out when he hits the ground

[MadScientist]

Doubs!

[beveaux1]

Nice looking drive.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Doubs!

Word.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

doubs just can't make anything look easy. hs a great catch and run, and the ball comes out when he hits the ground

Yeah, gotta protect the rock.

[beveaux1]

He used the rookie. Somewhat surprising. Let's hope he doesn't forget him.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Doubs punches above his weight. He looks like smaller Adams. Strong hands & bod.

[Joemailman]

Doubs needs 1 more yard to match Adams for today.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Doubs punches above his weight. He looks like smaller Adams. Strong hands & bod.

Cant be pooping out rocks .

[MadScientist]

He used the rookie. Somewhat surprising. Let's hope he doesn't forget him.

Three catches on three targets with a TD will help encourage Rodgers to keep feeding him the ball.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

23 with a groin. :(

[beveaux1]

Hate it when you have a groin. Alexander.

[Joemailman]

Am Rod looked smooth on that fair catch.:glug:

[Anti-Polar Bear]

When is the last time Berry sent a DB at the QB?

[RashanGary]

Am Rod looked smooth on that fair catch.:glug:

Hes had a couple look smooth

[Harlan Huckleby]

23 with a groin. :(

Better to hold him out even tho he doesn't look lame.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Wasting lots of time outs, yo.

[beveaux1]

We still have one to use.

[Joemailman]

Wasting lots of time out, yo.

They always seem to in the 1st half.

[beveaux1]

They always seem to in the 1st half.

And the 2nd half.

[beveaux1]

Rodgers joking with the ref.

[Joemailman]

Tyler!

[red]

well that was a real nice drive

[beveaux1]

Really nice drive.

[Joemailman]

Rodgers is on today.

[George Cumby]

Rodgers and Lazard are going to connect on that route a lot this season, I think.

[beveaux1]

Rodgers and Lazard are going to connect on that route a lot this season, I think.

Twice the last two games.

[Joemailman]

Lazard really knows how to use that big body to shield defenders away from the ball.

[beveaux1]

Rodgers is on today.

Hot as a firecracker.

[Fritz]

Rodgers made a nice fake on the defender on the Davis catch. He looked long downfield and drew the defender off Davis, who got open for that big first down.

I've been watching #53, Garvin, on defense. He gets sucked inside an awful lot - he doesn't set an edge at all.

Bad news bears about Jaire. Damn. I hope it's not serious - was it a pulled hammy?

[Joemailman]

Groin.

[George Cumby]

Doubs needs 1 more yard to match Adams for today.

Caught bits and pieces of the Raiders game on RedZone.

Davante misses Rodgers.

[George Cumby]

Mindset about heat.

SMH.

It's a physiological reality.

[Fritz]

Groin. Not good. That can linger.

So if Alexander is out, will She-Male Jean Claude Van Damme get to play?

[beveaux1]

Gary is so good!

[George Cumby]

Bad news bears about Jaire. Damn. I hope it's not serious - was it a pulled hammy?

Garvin showed some promise last season but I agree, he's getting rinsed out this year.

[beveaux1]

Is Amari improving?

[George Cumby]

Gary is so good!

That was really impressive.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Groin. Not good. That can linger.

So if Alexander is out, will She-Male Jean Claude Van Damme get to play?

I think Nixon #25 is playing the slot.

[Joemailman]

Mindset about heat.

SMH.

It's a physiological reality.

It looked like Lazard vomited on the sideline after the TD. Hope he's okay.

[Fritz]

I was as wrong as a person could be about Rashan Gary.

He sure did turn out.

Z Smith looked good in Minny today. I am hoping this Engabare kid can develop over the course of the season.

[George Cumby]

It looked like Lazard vomited on the sideline after the TD. Hope he's okay.

Well.

That's a heat injury.

[RashanGary]

Is Amari improving?

Looks like it.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Run game is allowing all those nice slants.

[beveaux1]

Cobb needs to get sick more often.

[George Cumby]

Deguara made a block on that Dillon run.

[beveaux1]

Dillon is a beast.

[George Cumby]

Is it just me or is Dillon slightly indecisive on his cuts?

[Sparkey]

I like how they're alternating Bahk and Yosh

[red]

fuck

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fuck!

[George Cumby]

Welp.

[MadScientist]

Ugh, you can't turn the ball over like that at the goal line.

[beveaux1]

Really, really bad turnover.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Cant be pooping out rocks!

[Rastak]

I thought you guys were going to dagger them and the TV was about to go off but maybe there will be a game. You guys look WAY better than Tampa.

[Joemailman]

Bad things happen to. Aaron Jones against the Bucs.

[George Cumby]

That's a "I'm not gonna' quit" fumble.

[Harlan Huckleby]

not a bad play by Jones, he just got blasted by big goon in lower back

[beveaux1]

Bad things happen to. Aaron Jones against the Bucs.

True.

[Fosco33]

So 2nd and goal run and short of goal line throw on 3rd.

2 bad calls. 3 pts off the board

[George Cumby]

I thought you guys were going to dagger them and the TV was about to go off but maybe there will be a game. You guys look WAY better than Tampa.

See what happens as the heat takes its toll.

Congrats on the win today.

[Fritz]

This is the way it goes. You think your team is going to slide the dagger in, and all of a sudden, it's all different.

Watch Brady take his team down for a TD and the momentum will totally change.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I thought you guys were going to dagger them and the TV was about to go off but maybe there will be a game. You guys look WAY better than Tampa.

SMH

[Fritz]

Ah, hell. You can see with that penalty what's going to happen. TB is going to score a TD and the whole game will change. Then the Pack gets it coming out of the half, and they'll go three-and-out.

Shit.

[Fritz]

Brady just playing pitch-and-catch now.

[red]

there you go D, flip the script back

quay with a big hit

[Sparkey]

Way to go Quay!

[beveaux1]

Turnover!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Great rock poop out by 7.

[Joemailman]

Quake Walker!

[Guiness]

It looked like Lazard vomited on the sideline after the TD. Hope he's okay.

He definitely did. Orange Gatorade today

[Fritz]

Okay, this is what happens when you post in the game-day thread. You get all worked up, you get pissed off, you're sure it's all going to hell and you say so, and then - oopsy-daisy!

Whew. Pack dodges a bullet.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'd play it conservative here cuz field pos. Take the lead.

[George Cumby]

Quake Walker!

A nickname is born.

[Rastak]

See what happens as the heat takes its toll.

Congrats on the win today.


They really played like shit. The only redeeming thing is I don't care all that much. I like you guys to win this one.

[bobblehead]

Guys like rudy ford.

[beveaux1]

That #20 is good on specials.

[Fritz]

I get what you're saying Ras. It matters less and less as I get older and older. It becomes clearer that it's just a business. And it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.

[RashanGary]

That #20 is good on specials.

#20 and #6

[Fritz]

When was the last time we noticed specific players on special teams - for good play??

[Guiness]

I like how they're alternating Bahk and Yosh

They are I can't say I remember ever seeing an OL rotate. Closest i can think of is the old U71 package

[Fritz]

When they first said the two were going to alternate, I thought that was a bullshit way of pretending Bakh wasn't hurt again. But in fact he has rotated in.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Guys like rudy ford.

If your gonna mock Tex, might as well add that the effective run game is keeping the Fuckneers LBers honest, opening up the slants.

[Rastak]

I get what you're saying Ras. It matters less and less as I get older and older. It becomes clearer that it's just a business. And it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.


Yea, when I was young it would ruin my entire week if my team played bad. I was pissed for days. I guess there is something admirable with a guy like Tex who at his age still cares so much about a game. I understand it too as I was there for many years but I honestly just don't care that much anymore.

It's small shit in a batshit world I guess. Hope Fritz is doing well in the great state of Michigan. Been there twice, really liked Grand Rapids.

[George Cumby]

I get what you're saying Ras. It matters less and less as I get older and older. It becomes clearer that it's just a business. And it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.

Yeah.

Perspective certainly changes..........

I also wish I had confidence the league was not influencing games through officiating in order to maximize drama and viewership.

[Joemailman]

Turnover!

As you wish.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/77/Pastry-Turnover-Apple.jpg/220px-Pastry-Turnover-Apple.jpg

[Rastak]

Yeah.

Perspective certainly changes..........

Entirely possible unfortunately. It's either that or incompetence in a billion dollar business which would seem odd.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

How about a fuckkng screen
on 3rd and short?

[MadtownPacker]

14 pts is enough to make all you hoes suicidal when Brady comes roaring back.

[Rastak]

14 pts is enough to make all you hoes suicidal when Brady comes roaring back.


No receivers though Mad.......

[MadtownPacker]

No receivers though Mad.......
That’s just the salt that will be rubbed into our wounds..

[beveaux1]

Turnover again.

[smuggler]

That's the right call, Savage wrapped the waist.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Another great poop out

[MadScientist]

Vote Nixon! (For Fuckdoggle)

[Joemailman]

Come on offense. Make this game more comfortable.

[smuggler]

Petition to get the apple turnover added to the stock images on the board, Madtown.

[beveaux1]

We'll keep Nixon.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fuck the tackle rotation! Bobbles boi, Josh Newman is sucking out there!

[smuggler]

Pretty smooth by Nixon on that punt play.

[RashanGary]

Special teams has been so much better. Let’s hope the young receivers keep coming along and this is our year.

[George Cumby]

What is with the ST play?

[Guiness]

:wow: Who was complaining about STs? Took a couple of games but looking damn good

[Joemailman]

Fuck the tackle rotation! Bobbles boi, Josh Newman is sucking out there!

Yosh Nijman.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Wake the fuck up offense!

[George Cumby]

Nice fucking return.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Yosh Nijman.

Who?

[beveaux1]

Rudy with a mistake.

[smuggler]

This is what we get for applauding the special teams... a 35 yard penalty.

[Joemailman]

Just when we were talking up the special teams.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Complete BS. F Tom Brady’s luck and F the refs. Neal should have been called for holding and a safety.

[MadtownPacker]

Petition to get the apple turnover added to the stock images on the board, Madtown.Apple or cheese?

[beveaux1]

We still have decent field position, just not good field position.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Just when we were talking up the special teams.

Bullshit. That dude was held and thrown into the punter.

[George Cumby]

Apple or cheese?

You ever get the Danish Kringle from Trader Joe's?

The cheese one is dank.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

SMH

[MadScientist]

WTF Rodgers

[Rastak]

That's a surprise. Like Outlaws music as they faded to the commercial.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

This offense cant convert and 3rd and short worth a duck.

[beveaux1]

Did somebody run the wrong route?

[George Cumby]

The hell happened to the O?

Thought they had a rhythm going.

[Joemailman]

That had to be a miscommunication.

[beveaux1]

That had to be a miscommunication.

If not, it was a terrible pass.

[HarveyWallbangers]

You can

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The hell happened to the O?

Thought they had a rhythm going.

Somebody pooped out a rock and killed momentum.

[MadtownPacker]

Did somebody run the wrong route?


That had to be a miscommunication.

Sounding like the early 2000s….

[HarveyWallbangers]

You can

And f this forum :)

[Rastak]

You can


I still feel like the Packers are in control.

[smuggler]

Tampa still has better receivers. Gary did not look good on that play.

[MadtownPacker]

And f this forum :)Your posting as accurate as Erron is throwing right now.

[smuggler]

Tonyan took his route WAY too deep. Ryan definitely goofed Rodgers, but it still doesn't help Bobby ran the wrong damn route.

[George Cumby]

Nixon with the pass break up?

[MadScientist]

Need some points this drive

[Rastak]

Your posting as accurate as Erron is throwing right now.



Elrond isn't on the top of his game this half.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Finally a 1st down since 1986.

[MadScientist]

Sound has good hands.

[MadScientist]

Another fucking punt. This game is going down hill fast.

[beveaux1]

We can't figure out their defense.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Offense is as cold as Coldplay.

[Rastak]

Offense is as cold as Coldplay.'


They need to be as hot as Steely Dan.

[beveaux1]

They've stopped our running game and that's caused our passing game to grind to a halt.

[MadScientist]

Packers still covering a quick slot receiver with a LB. That doesn't work.

[Rastak]

That's a hold alright.

[beveaux1]

Dillon may be the RB we need to use right now. He can move the pile.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fucking punter is the MVP right now.

[Harlan Huckleby]

an 8 pt lead never felt this bad

[Anti-Polar Bear]

an 8 pt lead never felt this bad

Pick-6 by Douglas coming up.

[red]

gary just threw fournette down like a rag doll

[beveaux1]

This game is what I thought our season would look like. Low scoring, defensive battles.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Didn't Beasley play with Aikman?

[RashanGary]

3 points would be huge.

[beveaux1]

3 points would be huge.

3 points might end the game.

[Joemailman]

Come on guys. One score. O-line needs to figure things out.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I see he is only 33, but it seems like he haas been playing forever

[MadScientist]

Figures there's holding when the run was decent.

[red]

thats a shit holding call

its calls like that shit that proves the game is scripted

[beveaux1]

We can't get 10 yards. How can we get 20?

[George Cumby]

thats a shit holding call

its calls like that shit that proves the game is scripted

Goodell looking out for his buddy Tommie.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Bullshit on that holding.

[red]

omg. terrible throw

set you fucking feet

[HarveyWallbangers]

Refs trying to keep Brady in the game.

[red]

rodgers missing a lot today

or olsen is really good at finding the things he's missing

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Another 3rd and short failed. smh

[Harlan Huckleby]

Bucs have only scored 6 pts. Packers should get ugly win

[George Cumby]

Hahahahahaha

[George Cumby]

Nice stop, D.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Wtf 8 fair catch?

[red]

fair catch called for, no one within 10 yards

[MadScientist]

Why fair catch that? Could have picked up 10.

[woodbuck27]

I'm enjoying this game.

Go Pack GO!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Had a whole platoon blocking for him

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I'm enjoying this game.

Go Pack GO!

Sup woodbuck.

[George Cumby]

I'm enjoying this game.

Go Pack GO!

WOODY!

[Rastak]

I'm enjoying this game.

Go Pack GO!


Hey Woodbuck!

[MadScientist]

Another wasted time out.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Another fucking 3rd and short. For fucks sake, convert!

[Joemailman]

I'm enjoying this game.

Go Pack GO!

Hey Woody. You in hurricane country?

[beveaux1]

I'd love to see a first down.

[MadScientist]

Wow a first down!

[Joemailman]

Big 1st down.

[red]

great call and execution

[George Cumby]

That was pretty as Tex's mouth.

[MadScientist]

A field goal could seal it.

[red]

cramp for myers

[Joemailman]

Games like this I miss Jamaal Williams.

[Fritz]

For a big guy, Dillon doesn't seem to pack a punch, at least not today.

[red]

please don't make mase try a 60+ yarder

[MadScientist]

More time outs. They better get into FG range.

[Fritz]

Jeezus, they need about five yards and now Rodgers goes deep?

[beveaux1]

please don't make mase try a 60+ yarder

I'm with you.

[red]

For a big guy, Dillon doesn't seem to pack a punch, at least not today.

he really doesn't. jones seems to be the big hitter

[red]

you can't take a fucking sack there

terrible

[Rastak]

That was pretty as Tex's mouth.


:razz: Where is dueling banjos.

[George Cumby]

Dillon looks leaner this year compared to his first two seasons.

[Fritz]

Hope GB doesn't need those time outs. Sheesh. It was second down and they needed five yards. This is not the time to go long.

[beveaux1]

Now we can use our weapon, the punter.

[red]

our punter is pretty good

[Anti-Polar Bear]

you can't take a fucking sack there

terrible

Force them to take a time, so better than an incomplete

[Fritz]

WTF dude. Throw it away.

And Newman gets beat.

[red]

so whos the idiot in tampa that drew a line all along the six yard line, then painted it over with black paint?

[Fritz]

This is what you didn't want to see. Brady with the ball, in the heat, end of the game, defense wilts. Shit.

[Rastak]

See if they do the prevent defense.

[MadScientist]

What thefuck is this pathetic coverage.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'm enjoying this game.

Go Pack GO!

Are you snowed in?

[red]

ahhh, just like the good ole mike mccarthy days, playing not to lose

[Anti-Polar Bear]

WTF dude. Throw it away.

And Newman gets beat.

Why? The sack forced them to burn time. Incomplete, not so much. Dont want Crosby kicking 60 yarder.

[Fritz]

I hate that prevent, leaving the middle open

[George Cumby]

Just sad.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Bucs not getting in endzone twice RELAX

[MadScientist]

Play real defense, and plant Brady on his ass.

[beveaux1]

Plenty of time left, especially if we don't play defense.

[Fritz]

Our worst fears coming true in this game.

Defense of course is gassed. They need pressure, they need a play, but they look a step slow.

[Joemailman]

The sack vs incompletion didn't hurt. They weren't in field goal range.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Why? The sack forced them to burn time. Incomplete, not so much. Dont want Crosby kicking 60 yarder.

agree, sack was nothingburger

[Rastak]

Dang.

[red]

olsen/olson is the best commentator in the game

"way play soft d now? you've shut them down all day"

he just showed he's smarter then any D cord we've had in a long time

[Rastak]

Barnburner ending.

[MadScientist]

Fuck! PI

[Rastak]

Not OT yet.

[beveaux1]

Not a run play.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Pack shoulda saved TO

[red]

good play call even though it didn't work

[HarveyWallbangers]

Amos was holding before the ball was in the air. I think that should have been holding, but I’ve resigned myself to the loss.

[Rastak]

Amos was holding before the ball was in the air. I think that should have been holding, but I’ve resigned myself to the loss.


Nah, gotta get the 2pt conversion or it's over.

[beveaux1]

Gotta stop the PAT

[bobblehead]

Amos was holding before the ball was in the air. I think that should have been holding, but I’ve resigned myself to the loss.

That can be called on 100% of olays
