Official Packers at Titans Week 3 Game Day thread

[Sparkey]

Packers 1-1 at Titans 0-2

The Packers and Titans have met 14 times with GB winning 6 of them however, the Packers have never won in Nashville.

Last week the Pack was QB'd by Willis the game manager. This week it looks like Willis is back for his 2nd try. With game film, the challenge for Willis and the Packers is to run the ball, minimize mistakes and mix it up enough so that the Titans can't load up the line on D. On Defense, Hafley needs to bring pressure and force Levis into poor decisions.

Levis has 5 giveaways in the first two weeks including two horrible WTF type of picks. The Packers defense has five picks over that same period.

History says the Packers lose on the road, but at some point trends end. This week Levis throws 3 picks and Willis completes two big throws for TD's.

Obligatory game day post.

[RashanGary]

Love’s jersey is hanging in the pictures that the packers equipment staff put on their app. Let’s see if having his locker prepared means he’s going?

[Joemailman]

Love is going through a pre-game workout. https://x.com/i/status/1837868845966528764

Love is going through a pre-game workout. https://x.com/i/status/1837868845966528764
I just got this text from a friend:

“ Is Love playing? Hes out there moving around pretty good and breaking a good sweat...

I responded with this:
“ Highly doubt it
But they say he is practicing

[Fosco33]

This one’s going to come down to turnover margin and points after turnovers.

The titans D should do a much better job (think 2nd half Colts) vs a one dimensional Packers offense. Hopefully ‘whatcha talking bout’ has got a bit more of the offense installed to use that big arm.

I see Levis continuing to put balls up for grabs and Rashan should have a good game against one of the worst tackles in football.

Packers 21
Titans 20

[Fosco33]

Love is out officially

[ThunderDan]

Go Pack Go!

[Joemailman]

Here's the full list of inactives:

89 TE Thomas Odukoya

[MadtownPacker]

Love is out officially
That fukin tease LaFleur!

[ThunderDan]

It makes sense though. Two weeks since the injury is an incredibly fast recovery. An away AFC game doesn’t mean as much as next weeks game against the Viqueens.

[ThunderDan]

Have fun guys. I’ll try to join for the 2nd half. Getting lunch with the in-laws at a sports bar.

[texaspackerbacker]

It pisses me off a little bit that they are so damn hyper-cautious. I hope they don't fart away a winnable game because of it.

[MadtownPacker]

Have fun guys. I’ll try to join for the 2nd half. Getting lunch with the in-laws at a sports bar.Are they bears fans? :lol:

[MadtownPacker]

It pisses me off a little bit that they are so damn hyper-cautious. I hope they don't fart away a winnable game because of it.
It makes me mad too but it is the right call.

[Teamcheez1]

Thought about going to a sports bar to watch the game. Not interested with Willis starting.

[Fosco33]

I’m at a bar and Majkowski is here selling jerseys and autographs

[Joemailman]

I’m at a bar and Majkowski is here selling jerseys and autographs

You at Hoehn's?

[Sparkey]

Perfect start!

[red]

what a great first play call

[Sparkey]

YES!!!

[beveaux1]

Watson!!

[Sparkey]

Touchdown Willis!

[beveaux1]

Willis!! TD!!

[red]

what a start

kids got some moves

titans weren't expecting this game plan

[Anti-Polar Bear]

The offense has gone from middle-school level to college 101 level.

[beveaux1]

Willis 2-3 60 yds plus a 5yd rushing TD. Let's play with a lead!

[MadScientist]

Titans regretting trading Willis right now. I expected the Packers to pass a lot more than last week and Tennessee to start by being geared up to try to stop the run. Great to see the execution on an efficient drive.

[red]

did i just hear that moron say "that much more better"?

[MadtownPacker]

The offense has gone from middle-school level to college 101 level.
They win this game you will have to shut fuck up about the offense. That drive was badass.

[MadtownPacker]

Thought about going to a sports bar to watch the game. Not interested with Willis starting.
You should have went. Could have been talking shit right now.

[MadScientist]

The clock was zero on that one. Slow refs.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fuck! Pick it off!

[MadtownPacker]

There will be some Packers D picks today.

[MadScientist]

FFS. The defense finally makes a play and Smith lines up off sides.

[MadtownPacker]

FFS. The defense finally makes a play and Smith lines up off sides.
Gonna be costly too! That was a sit his ass for a bit move.

[beveaux1]

Defense looks...ugh.

[Sparkey]

McDuffie lost the TE in coverage.

[Teamcheez1]

Hard to stop the juggernaut Titans offense….

[red]

nope, i don't see it

all this training camp bull shit about our D looking so good

i don't see it

looks like the same shit, just with an actual improvement at safety

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Wilson and McDuffie are nothing more than backup players.

Might as well throw the rooks into the fray.

[Joemailman]

Preston on the dud list so far.

[jklowan]

defense looks the same

[MadScientist]

McDuffy looked lost on that. Can we get McBethy instead?

[Sparkey]

If we see the same crap week 9, then I will worry

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Packers D is making Levis look like J-Allen.

[red]

WOW WHAT AN EXCITING FUCKING KICKOFF

[MadtownPacker]

McDuffy looked lost on that. Can we get McBethy instead?
Way too small and not fast enough to be that size.

[MadtownPacker]

Packers D is making Levis look like J-Allen.
:lol:

What is the TN defense making Willis look like?

[red]

WHOOP

wasting timeouts early today

[Anti-Polar Bear]

:lol:

What is the TN defense making Willis look like?

Mike Vick.

[MadtownPacker]

Ain’t it some shit all week we are worried about the offense just for the defense to be shitting the bed again.

[MadtownPacker]

Mike Vick.
High praise from you.


Oh shit and then he goes all vick on their ass!

[Sparkey]

I like that Willis is only running when his down field reads are not there.

[MadtownPacker]

I like that Willis is only running when his down field reads are not there.
He has been awesome so far.

[Sparkey]

RPO Heaven with Willis!!!

[red]

Mike Vick.

not enough empty bloody dog leashes

fuck that guy, can't believe fox has that fuck on its pregame show

[MadtownPacker]

RPO Heaven with Willis!!!
Tanks comparison to vick is actually pretty good. He does kinda look like him out there.

[red]

ok, running up the middle behind meyers doesn't work

[MadtownPacker]

That slam needs to be a penalty. Defender had the ball fly right in front of him. Did they get rid of the defenseless WR penalties?

[red]

right through reeds hands

[Teamcheez1]

Red zone play calling seems to lack innovation.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

DB body slam Reed and no flag.

#NFLisRigged

[MadScientist]

That’s slam needs to be a penalty.

That was a textbook example of what they've been cracking down on for several years. No excuse for ignoring it on that play.

[red]

ok, running up the middle behind meyers doesn't work

sorry, running up the middle behind pukes mcbumblefuck doesn't work

[beveaux1]

Well, we got a FG out of it. Willis looks good.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

not enough empty bloody dog leashes

fuck that guy, can't believe fox has that fuck on its pregame show

You watch pregame shows? You might be the only one.

When I had my own crib, I would download porn til game time. Haven’t watched a pregame show since Super Bowl 45.

[Sparkey]

Pick Six #1

[red]

THATS what you need to do with levis

alexander jumped the shit out of that route

[beveaux1]

Jaire TD!!

[red]

You watch pregame shows? You might be the only one.

When I had my own crib, I would download porn til game time. Haven’t watched a pregame show since Super Bowl 45.

i watched it for 5 minutes, then did the porn thing until the game

[Joemailman]

Thanks Levis!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fuck NFL Sunday Ticket. I missed the J-Alex pick-6 while watching the goddamn Queens.

[beveaux1]

Good catch by Alexander.

[Joemailman]

Fuck NFL Sunday Ticket. I missed the J-Alex pick-6 while watching the goddamn Queens.

You can afford Sunday Ticket making minimum wage?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Take that pick 6 and shove it up yo ass, Fosco. You Alexander hater.

[jklowan]

defense gets a timely pick 6

[Anti-Polar Bear]

You can afford Sunday Ticket making minimum wage?

Humbly won some frogskins playing poker the last few weeks.

[Joemailman]

defense gets a timely pick 6

Pick 6's are always timely.

[jklowan]

Pick 6's are always timely.

especially when you can't run the ball

[MadtownPacker]

Take that pick 6 and shove it up yo ass, Fosco. You Alexander hater.
That’s probably all he’s gonna do this entire game. He stays around by making big splashes.

[Sparkey]

Nice stop by the defense

[beveaux1]

Good D.

[Fosco33]

You at Hoehn's?

DJs goalpost

[Joemailman]

See if Packers can come up with some outside runs.

[Joemailman]

Kraft is a stud.

[smuggler]

LaFleur got too cute on 2nd and 3. 11-yard sack and it killed the drive.

[beveaux1]

Not the greatest punt.

[Joemailman]

LaFleur got too cute on 2nd and 3. 11-yard sack and it killed the drive.

Not sure what they were looking for on that play. Didn't seem to have an outlet.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Ice ice baby!

[beveaux1]

Van Ness mop up sack.

[red]

that was a scary pass rush

gary and van ness on the field at the same time is insane

[smuggler]

Preston has gotten pressure a few times, too.

[red]

walker not having a great year so far

[MadtownPacker]

Jacobs hasn’t been flashy much but he is perfect as a continuous threat to run.

[MadtownPacker]

What?? Doubs is Willis’ go to guy also?


What you doubting about Willis? :lol:

[red]

so, he can throw the ball and run it

why did the titans give up on him?

[red]

holy speed by reed

[smuggler]

Ah, Melton was open. At least there wasn't a loss on first down.

[MadtownPacker]

so, he can throw the ball and run it

why did the titans give up on him?
Shit forget the titans dumbasses. Did you see Love on the sideline looking sad he isn’t in there?

[beveaux1]

We are chewing clock with a 10 point lead. give them credit.

[MadtownPacker]

Ah, Melton was open. At least there wasn't a loss on first down.
If anything the complaint is they missed out on a few points this half.

[MadtownPacker]

We are chewing clock with a 10 point lead. give them credit.Thats the spirit Beveaux! I’m pleasantly surprised but if this shit keeps up I’m going to start expecting it.

[ThunderDan]

What a great 1st half so far.

[red]

fucking penalties

2nd on walker

[ThunderDan]

Too bad Morgan is hurt. We need to start thinking of benching Walker. He is costing us 20+ yards a game in penalties.

[red]

YOU CAN'T STOP WILLIS

[MadtownPacker]

Watson finally showing it!!

[beveaux1]

Great pass!

[MadtownPacker]

YOU CAN'T STOP WILLIS
I’m starting to worry….

[MadtownPacker]

Willis does need to start sliding. He runs great but taking too many shots that will add up.

[red]

I’m starting to worry….

trade him, trade him now for a 1st lol

buy low sell high

[red]

Willis does need to start sliding. He runs great but taking too many shots that will add up.

i was thinking that too

and protect that ball a little better

[ThunderDan]

Just about a perfect 1st half starting your 2nd string QB.

[beveaux1]

Good first half.

[MadtownPacker]

Nards made it for you Fritz!! Wherever you are in the mountains meeting hillbillies.

[red]

great half

did you guys see that skinny white redneck with the hulk rules shirt on right by the tunnel? lolol

[Sparkey]

20-7 at the half. Couldn't ask for much more.

[Teamcheez1]

Why not take one more shot at the end zone?

[Sparkey]

great half

did you guys see that skinny white redneck with the hulk rules shirt on right by the tunnel? lolol

A Real American Hero

[Sparkey]

Why not take one more shot at the end zone?

Only three seconds on the clock. Really not enough time. Would need 7 secs to really run a play.

With 3, a tipped ball could let the clock run out.

[red]

Why not take one more shot at the end zone?
isn't that what he was trying to do on 3rd down?

[MadtownPacker]

Why not take one more shot at the end zone?
If you were talking about going for it on fourth down, I agree. The kind of play they could put the game away early.

[ThunderDan]

Only three seconds on the clock. Really not enough time. Would need 7 secs to really run a play.

With 3, a tipped ball could let the clock run out.

Could have called TO earlier and kept 17 seconds on the clock after the sack.

I think with no TOs left MLF didn’t want to take any chance of something happening and losing the 3 points.

[red]

Only three seconds on the clock. Really not enough time. Would need 7 secs to really run a play.

With 3, a tipped ball could let the clock run out.

it was 4th down

[ThunderDan]

Could have called TO earlier and kept 17 seconds on the clock after the sack.

I think with no TOs left MLF didn’t want to take any chance of something happening and losing the 3 points.

Never mind it was 4th down.

[jklowan]

couldn't ask for a better half of ball

[jklowan]

cut out the penalties and lets get out with a w

[smuggler]

Why not take one more shot at the end zone?

Trying to avoid throwing into over/under stuff, it seems.

[ThunderDan]

Sack by Wyatt. He is making a jump this year.

[ThunderDan]

Stokes sniffed out that screen.

[ThunderDan]

Great hustle by Brooks to make that tackle after rushing.

[MadtownPacker]

I can’t believe they aren’t going for it.

[ThunderDan]

I can’t believe they aren’t going for it.

They are now.

[smuggler]

What do the metrics say about going for it, more than 1 yard to the first, with the ball at your own 38?

[MadtownPacker]

They are now.
Caught Packers slipping too!

[red]

quit pissing away timeouts

[ThunderDan]

Great stop on 4th down.

[MadtownPacker]

They are now.
I’m glad they did!!!

[red]

wow

that was a shit play call by the titans

quay and mcduffie knew that was coming the whole time

[beveaux1]

What a dumb, dumb call.

[King Friday]

Quay is a missile when he knows what to lock on.

[Joemailman]

Great play Quay!

[smuggler]

Levis has to get that ball into the flat. It wasn't a huge window, but it was a high percentage for a first.

[King Friday]

Need a TD here. Let’s end this and not leave them in the game until 0:00.

[jklowan]

big time stop d showing signs of life

[Sparkey]

it was 4th down
My bad

[red]

score a TD and put the game away

[red]

so many penalties on the o-line this year

what the hell

[ThunderDan]

OL getting called for holding way to much. OL has cost us almost half a field in yardage.

[King Friday]

Call Crosby. Now.

[red]

goodbye nards

flag on the play?

[ThunderDan]

Fuck, that’s another miss by Nards. Need to bring in someone new. Can’t be missing attempt in perfect weather.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fucking yokozunas are holding harder than a chimpanzee baby holds onto her mother.

[King Friday]

OL very hit and miss in this game.

[Teamcheez1]

goodbye nards

flag on the play?

Should have kept Carlson with these results.

[King Friday]

Backup QB and RB balling.

[beveaux1]

Screen pass to Wilson for a TD!!!

[ThunderDan]

Wow, complete reversal. Missed FG turns into a TD.

[red]

great play

great run after the catch by wilson

[King Friday]

Should have kept Carlson with these results.

Rookie kickers are not reliable. Not sure why we thought going through it again was going to work out.

[ThunderDan]

Should have kept Carlson with these results.

I am not sure that would have been better. Carlson isn’t the answer and now Nards isn’t the answer.

[beveaux1]

Rookie kickers are not reliable. Not sure why we thought going through it again was going to work out.

Amen.

[smuggler]

Back-breaking screen call by LaFleur. Gotta believe the Titans are done now.

[beveaux1]

I don't trust Narverson on anything over 40.

[MadScientist]

That's got to be a killer for the Titans. Thought they had the stop and a missed FG, and the Packers get a TD.

[Joemailman]

Willis 12-14, 199, 1 TD, 142.6 passer rating, 73 rushing yards, 1 TD.

[red]

right now willis has a QB rating of 142.6

[red]

quay just gave up on that pursuit

[red]

Willis 12-14, 199, 1 TD, 142.6 passer rating, 73 rushing yards, 1 TD.

has achieved legend status

[ThunderDan]

Gotta admit no matter how much Meyers is up and down, he is really good making blocks in space down field.

[Joemailman]

Is it just me, or is McDuffie having a bad game?

[red]

false start by RT,

not called

[MadtownPacker]

Is it just me, or is McDuffie having a bad game?
Yes and the spot needs an upgrade.

[MadtownPacker]

Willis 12-14, 199, 1 TD, 142.6 passer rating, 73 rushing yards, 1 TD.
Now I’m getting more worried.

[red]

Is it just me, or is McDuffie having a bad game?

so is quay

may as well put the rookies in if the vets are gonna play like this

[red]

stokes just got played like a bitch there

[beveaux1]

That was a quick answer.

[King Friday]

We aren’t too good with press coverage.

[ThunderDan]

stokes just got played like a bitch there

Not sure about that. What could he have done? Hopkins got a two hand push on a back shoulder throw. That is indefensible.

[red]

That was a quick answer.

bad time for the D to shit the bed

almost looked like the D players thought the game was over

[red]

Not sure about that. What could he have done? Hopkins got a two hand push on a back shoulder throw. That is indefensible.

then got fooled out of his jock by a ball fake

[beveaux1]

We aren’t too good with press coverage.

Nor zone coverage.

[red]

whats the point of the guys that take off sprinting down the field after watching the ball go into the stands?

[red]

kraft questionable to return because of a shoulder

[Sparkey]

Kraft ? to return.

[red]

and just like that, kraft is back in

[ThunderDan]

Kraft in.

[red]

come on flower

don't lose your balls this early

[Sparkey]

Now THAT was a terrible call.

[King Friday]

Too conservative.

[King Friday]

Too many stupid pre snap flags. Undisciplined.

[ThunderDan]

Fuck, we are fucking horrible. How do screw up lining up on a punt?

[red]

illegal formation

PRACTICE YOUR FUCKING PLAYERS

get control of the stupid bullshit penalties

[Teamcheez1]

That was bad play-calling.

MLF losing his mojo.

[ThunderDan]

That cost us 20 yards.

Attention to detail is lacking this year. We are sloppy.

[red]

Fuck, we are fucking horrible. How do screw up lining up on a punt?

how do you line up on defense with your helmet in their backfield?

stupid players making stupid mistakes, or coaches not holding guys accountable for stupid mistakes

[red]

That was bad play-calling.

MLF losing his mojo.

he kinda has a problem closing out games

[beveaux1]

Conservative play calling. Trying to milk the clock and make no turnovers.

[King Friday]

Horrible defensive play right now.

[red]

giant holes in our zone

deja-vu

[Joemailman]

No pressure on QB.

[red]

No pressure on QB.

sent the house too

[ThunderDan]

That WR is wearing is wearing the padded cover on his helmet.

[beveaux1]

Enagbare!!

[red]

FUMBLE

van ness with the recovery after the enigma destroyed levis

[MadScientist]

That was a QB steamrolling!

Willis > Levis

[red]

That WR is wearing is wearing the padded cover on his helmet.

yeah, its starting to become a thing

ugly as hell though

they need to come up with something better

[ThunderDan]

Wow, Engbare looked like he was shot out of a cannon.

[red]

Wow, Engbare looked like he was shot out of a cannon.

lucky we didn't get flagged for him tackling a QB too hard

[King Friday]

Our kicker sucks, but there are a lot of FGs being missed today around the league. The first two weeks where everyone made everything is not the norm.

[beveaux1]

Wow, Engbare looked like he was shot out of a cannon.

Beat the tackle with a swim move.

[Joemailman]

Time for a dagger.

[beveaux1]

i still don't trust our defense. Our zone D is bad.

[ThunderDan]

Is there a fire in TN?

[smuggler]

Wilson looks sharp, partly because it's not as obvious the Packers are running when he's on the field.

[red]

what asshole thought it would be a good idea to shoot off fireworks between quarters?

[red]

WE CAN"T RUN UP THE FUCKING MIDDLE TODAY

quit wasting downs

[King Friday]

More pre snap buffoonery

[ThunderDan]

We are punting.

[red]

another illegal formation

what in the actual fuck


https://youtu.be/GfU8CZVNb6o?si=Ac1DYakLIpUp42BF

[King Friday]

Why do you run five yards past the returner and watch him take off upfield? Stupidity all over the place.

[beveaux1]

Let's play defense.

[smuggler]

Willis made the wrong read on the option on 2nd down. We punt and net like 20 yards.

[Joemailman]

Why do you run five yards past the returner and watch him take off upfield? Stupidity all over the place.

Probably anticipating a better punt.

[ThunderDan]

That was a good play by McDuffy.

[red]

did someone just pull up and not hit the QB in the back?

[ThunderDan]

did someone just pull up and not hit the QB in the back?

Yup, I saw that too.

[MadtownPacker]

There it is!!! Time to run out the clock.

[red]

Why do you run five yards past the returner and watch him take off upfield? Stupidity all over the place.

to down the ball inside the 5 if the returner fakes catching it and it goes over his head

gunners are not watching the ball in the air

[beveaux1]

They played defense. i like it.

[Joemailman]

Enagbare showing up.

[red]

get a couple first downs please

[Joemailman]

get a couple first downs please

That would be great.

[ThunderDan]

Good run up the middle there.

[red]

first down drop by kraft

perfect throw

[Sparkey]

Fucker, catch the ball!

[red]

wicks never knew the ball was thrown

another 3 and out

[King Friday]

Wicks has been very mediocre so far this season.

[red]

that was almost the perfect punt

[beveaux1]

Great punt.

[MadScientist]

wicks never knew the ball was thrown

another 3 and out

That's twice a receiver down the left side has not been able to find the ball. Try throwing to the right side.

[beveaux1]

Let's play defense.

[ThunderDan]

Good job by Engabare. He realized the rush was too easy back and caught the screen.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Why pay Cletidus when you have Wyatt?

[red]

sack sack sack

thats more like it

[Sparkey]

Seven sacks!

[beveaux1]

That line can't stop us.

[ThunderDan]

What the hell. 7 sacks for the D.

Never would have happened with Barry’s defense the last few years.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Holy fuck, Hafley called the fucking psycho!
