Official Cardinals @ Packers Gameday Thread

[MadtownPacker]

What a difference a week makes. Last week’s win against a lesser team, while shaky at times was hopefully the cure to what ails the offense. Today the Packers appear to be moving towards the team we have expected to see this season.

Last week we saw Wicks have crucial drops that would have put the game away early. Today Doubs comes back from his strange abyss and hopefully makes it right by catching EVERYTHING thrown his way in those big moments.

Last week the defense did well giving up only 12pts against a stationary Stafford and his skeleton crew offense. This week a very mobile Murray will run his ass off and has a bunch of young WRs almost like the Packers.

Last week Matt “Pepe” LaFleur was staring across the field at his coaching BFF McVey who he is 5-0 against now. This week he meets the 2nd year AZ coach Gannon for the first time.

Last week I was worried the team was distracted and maybe not in the right state of mind. This week that’s not the case at all and with 1/3 of the season gone, the road to the postseason begins….

Packers 31 - Cardinals 23

[ThunderDan]

Go Pack Go!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Lost 1k yesterday, so will watch game in Milwaukee today while grinding at poker.

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

Green Bay Packers Inactives:

27 S Kitan Oladapo
57 DL Brenton Cox Jr.
73 T Andre Dillard
79 T Travis Glover
86 TE John FitzPatrick
95 DL Devonte Wyatt

[Joemailman]

Wonder what kind of fan reception Doubs will get. My advice: Catch everything thrown your direction, even if the pass isn't perfect. Don't give the crowd a reason to turn on you.

Packers 27
Cardinals 17

[Patler]

Too bad for Wyatt. He had a very good start to the season. Hopefully the injury doesn't last much longer.

[Patler]

They also activated FB Andrew Beck from the practice squad. With Musgrave now on IR and Kraft nursing injuries for a couple weeks, Beck could play some today.

[Joemailman]

Matt Schneidman
@mattschneidman

Packers base defense in warmups has Jaire Alexander and Keisean Nixon at outside CB and Xavier McKinney and Evan Williams at safety. That probably means Javon Bullard at the nickel.

[Fosco33]

Go Pack!

[ThunderDan]

Tough run by Jacobs. Nothing there and got 2.

[ThunderDan]

Love should have put some air under that pass.

[red]

lucky that wasn't picked off

can he not see the guy standing there?

[MadtownPacker]

Tough run by Jacobs. Nothing there and got 2.
Would like to see it be his day with the rain.

[MadtownPacker]

Should have been PI.

[ThunderDan]

DBs get away with so much hand play.

Good punt by Whelan.

[beveaux1]

Little interference there.

[Sparkey]

Wicks has to do a better job of making the ref have to throw the flag.

[King Friday]

Love should have put some air under that pass.

He needs to run forward and make the LB either commit to him or Kraft.

[beveaux1]

I don't think Romeo saw the field.

[red]

crowd sounds nice and loud today

[ThunderDan]

D with a good start.

[red]

good start for the D

[red]

facemask

[ThunderDan]

I don't think Romeo saw the field.

Probably part of his punishment. Out for 1st series.

Face mask.

[red]

reeds the smallest guy on the field, and it took 5 cards to get him down

[ThunderDan]

reeds the smallest guy on the field, and it took 5 cards to get him down

I was worried about Reeds size when we drafted him. I am so glad my have him now.

[beveaux1]

reeds the smallest guy on the field, and it took 5 cards to get him down

He's dynamic. They also needed a facemask.

[ThunderDan]

Jacobs is good.

[red]

now theres what i expected from jacobs

[beveaux1]

What a power back!!

[ThunderDan]

now theres what i expected from jacobs

That’s going to look better when the weather turns bad at Lambeau.

[red]

much better series, just keep the ball on the ground in this weather

[red]

That’s going to look better when the weather turns bad at Lambeau.

absolutely

[beveaux1]

Reed!!

[red]

TD reed

stop trying to force the ball to wicks and just get the ball to the guy that hasn't been letting you down

[ThunderDan]

Another bad choice by Love incomplete.

Great throw to Reed for the TD.

[red]

I was worried about Reeds size when we drafted him. I am so glad my have him now.

smallest WR, but seems to be our toughest

[red]

Another bad choice by Love incomplete.

Great throw to Reed for the TD.

thats 2 throws to wicks now when he's been covered like a glove

i just don't get it

[MadtownPacker]

I was hoping to see Jacobs pound it in and we will but glad Reed got his after grinding so hard since the season started.

[red]

jordan morgan was in on that TD

where is he playing?

[ThunderDan]

D starting to play like 1st half normal.

[red]

another good series by the D, helped by a slip

[MadtownPacker]

The defense is looking very good. Great stop.

[beveaux1]

Nixon!! Good play!

[red]

D starting to play like 1st half normal.

O needs to rack up points while the D is getting stops

[ThunderDan]

Not sure on that touchback call and calling the play dead.

I think Reed can pick up that ball and run. Ari never had control of the ball.

[ThunderDan]

Doubs with the catch.

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah I saw that as live also. Must be some rule about the touching.

[MadtownPacker]

Love waited to see if Watson was open but should have just let it fly. That’s where he should take those chances.

[ThunderDan]

Hands to the face and a little holding on that play for Jenkins.

[Joemailman]

Almost a fumble by Jacobs.

[ThunderDan]

Good 1st quarter. We actually came out with energy for the first time in 3 weeks.

[beveaux1]

We'll take the freebee.

[red]

there you go doubs

[ThunderDan]

TD Doubs.

[MadtownPacker]

Welcome back man!!!

[beveaux1]

Doubs!!

[ThunderDan]

Cooper with a good play and tackle.

[red]

finally some pressure

another good stand

[ThunderDan]

Wow, the D with another 3 and out.

[beveaux1]

Pass rush has been good today.

[MadtownPacker]

I forgot Murray even existed. D is suffocating him.

[red]

any of you guys into space shit?

do you see what space x did today? unreal stuff

[MadScientist]

Defense looks a lot better with the starting CBs back.

[ThunderDan]

D holding.

[red]

bad throw by love or else thats a TD

[ThunderDan]

bad throw by love or else thats a TD

I don’t think he is that fast.

[MadScientist]

I'm confused, almost all the flags are on the Cardinals instead of the Packers.

[Joemailman]

Wonder what kind of fan reception Doubs will get. My advice: Catch everything thrown your direction, even if the pass isn't perfect. Don't give the crowd a reason to turn on you.

Packers 27
Cardinals 17

Glad he listened.

[ThunderDan]

Morgan in at RG.

[MadtownPacker]

go for it!!

[red]

don't make the kid kick this

[red]

whew

perfect throw

[beveaux1]

Nice pitch and catch to Watson.

[MadtownPacker]

Love is just a split second late on his throws today. Even some of the completions.

[ThunderDan]

Yeah, we made FG.

[beveaux1]

Love is just a split second late on his throws today. Even some of the completions.

Little bit of interference on the play. He should have thrown it slightly earlier.

[ThunderDan]

Jaire was there a little early.

[ThunderDan]

Harrison with a concussion.

[red]

evan fucking williams

[ThunderDan]

The Bourbon for the tackle.

[beveaux1]

Defense came to play.

[red]

fumble and we lost it

[ThunderDan]

Reed just get to the ground.

[MadScientist]

Let Nixon do the returns. Reed doesn't need the big hits.

[ThunderDan]

Please be offsetting penalties.

[red]

these announcers are horrible, ball definately came out, and ref pointed cards ball

[red]

Please be offsetting penalties.

YES!

rekick

whew

[King Friday]

Reed should not be returning kicks anymore.

[ThunderDan]

Arizona has done nothing this half and we almost gifted them the ball at our 20.

[ThunderDan]

I don’t care if it is a tough call for you Moose.

[beveaux1]

That guy is a great returner.

[MadScientist]

Let Nixon do the returns. Reed doesn't need the big hits. Especially If Nixon can return like that!

[King Friday]

Nixon is a better returner. BitchSac needs some help figuring things out.

[Joemailman]

Not sure I want our #1 WR returning punts anymore.

[beveaux1]

Beautiful!!

[red]

that was 1000% a horsecollar

get this jack ass off my TV!!

well thats a big reversal of fortunes. TD watson. pretty looking throw

[ThunderDan]

Wow, what a complete flip in 3 plays. Instead of 1st down for Ari at our 20, we score 7.

[MadScientist]

Watson!

That horsecollar was huge. And also clearly a penalty, despite what the announcers are saying.

[red]

Not sure I want our #1 WR returning punts anymore.

i've never liked that

can't risk someone so important to out offense

[MadtownPacker]

Awesome throw by Love!!! Watson looking great too!

[red]

this is almost a perfect half for us

[ThunderDan]

that was 1000% a horsecollar

get this jack ass off my TV!!

well thats a big reversal of fortunes. TD watson. pretty looking throw

So crazy, that he was mad at 100% a horse collar. But was ok with the early contact of DBs on WRs.

[Sparkey]

Dominant defense so far by GB

[beveaux1]

i've never liked that

can't risk someone so important to out offense

Punt returner is usually not a risky position. They use Reed because he has better hands than Nixon.

[ThunderDan]

Nice to have guy like Bullard to keep Murray from going for 20+.

[Joemailman]

McKinney doesn't have an INT yet. Slacker.

[red]

come on guys

fuck off with the flags

[MadScientist]

WTF defense? Dumb penalties and leaving a guy wide open. The game isn't over yet.

[ThunderDan]

Come on D. Hold them to 3.

[MadScientist]

Time for X to get a pick-6.

[red]

shit

[ThunderDan]

D needs to figure out the seem route.

[red]

who was covering who there

alexander seemed to be covering 2 wide open guys about 30 yards apart

[beveaux1]

That drive sucked.

[ThunderDan]

Why isn’t Ari calling time outs?

[ThunderDan]

We are going now.

[red]

fuck

game just turned right around

[ThunderDan]

Fuck, could have been up 3 scores.

[beveaux1]

Wasn't a hold until he reached out and grabbed the defender while on the ground.

[red]

yeah, just let them have 8 yards on every play

[ThunderDan]

yeah, just let them have 8 yards on every play

We are having a hard time dealing with the seem route.

[ThunderDan]

28 minutes of great football. 2 minutes of suck.

[red]

we completely dominate the half, yet let them back in at the end

[ThunderDan]

Wow, that was a long 1st half.

[Joemailman]

Wow, that was a long 1st half.

Lot of penalties. Fair number of incomplete passes.

[ThunderDan]

Come on D. 3 and out and let’s knock them out of the game.

[ThunderDan]

We are getting picked apart in the middle.

[red]

COME ON D

[ThunderDan]

Good tackle by Preston.

[ThunderDan]

Whew, that was a miss for Ari.

[Joemailman]

Stokes is toast.

[beveaux1]

Does anybody really trust our D?

[ThunderDan]

Come on O, lets start out like the first half.

[ThunderDan]

What a horrible play call.

[red]

yup, thats a hold

[ThunderDan]

Bailed out by a penalty on the D.

[red]

WOW!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Wow, Love just heaved that up and Doubs tracked it for the TD.

[MadtownPacker]

He’s not the best WR but he is the smartest!

[beveaux1]

Doubs again !!

[MadScientist]

Doubs with the great adjustment on the desperation heave!

[Joemailman]

They should suspend Doubs more often.

[ThunderDan]

Cooper getting Conor down one on one.

[red]

FUMBLE!!!!!

[ThunderDan]

Fumble, Brooks with the strip.

[MadtownPacker]

They should suspend Doubs more often.
Week 17.

[MadScientist]

Now tack on another TD.

[ThunderDan]

What are we doing? Up 18 we need to keep the clock running. Run the ball, no empty backfield.

[red]

miss FG

come on

[ThunderDan]

There is the misse FG. Nards has to be gone.

[MadScientist]

Fuck! Another god damn missed FG.

[beveaux1]

Narveson miss.

[red]

There is the misse FG. Nards has to be gone.

i just can't believe theres no better option out there

[beveaux1]

Every miss is to the right.

[ThunderDan]

Fumble, Packer ball.

[red]

FUMBLE AGIN

WE GOT IT!!!

[MadtownPacker]

Time to cut our Nards off.

[ThunderDan]

The Bourbon with the punch out.

[beveaux1]

Williams punches it.

[MadScientist]

That's the way to throw a punch.

[red]

thats a weak personal foul

[ThunderDan]

That was a weak roughing call. But he did touch Loves helmet.

[beveaux1]

Run it nearly every down.

[MadScientist]

The TE sneak is new. Good second effort to get it done.

[ThunderDan]

God the announcers are horrible.

Morgan has been playing RG all day.

[ThunderDan]

Rhyan put back in after the injury and gets the false start.

[Teamcheez1]

Jenkins is at center.

[Guiness]

thats a weak personal foul

I thought 51 did everything he could to avoid contact

[ThunderDan]

Holding Walker.

Do you kick the field goal or go for it?

[King Friday]

OL is so mediocre.

[beveaux1]

Narveson is also mediocre.

[King Friday]

Crazy to think GB and CHI are bringing up the rear in the division at 4-2.

[Joemailman]

Narveson looks more relieved than happy.

[ThunderDan]

OL is so mediocre.

I am not sure. We have 118 rushing yards and a lot in the 2nd half where Ari is stacking the box.

[Guiness]

The TE sneak is new. Good second effort to get it done.

I was impressed with that play design. Tucker in motion, stopping under center and taking the snap was unexpected to be sure

[Guiness]

What happened to Myers

[Joemailman]

Murray's body language sucks.

[King Friday]

I am not sure. We have 118 rushing yards and a lot in the 2nd half where Ari is stacking the box.

ARI is one of the worst defenses in the league.

[ThunderDan]

What happened to Myers

Said he was inured, but no updates and didn’t show him on the field.

[King Friday]

Maybe he had to yack and actually came off the field to do it?

[red]

FUMBLE AGAIN!!

[ThunderDan]

ARI is one of the worst defenses in the league.

We have had 9 full offensive possessions. We have scored on 6 and missed 1 FG. We have only punted once today.

Not sure what else the O is supposed to do.

[MadScientist]

No picks this week, but I'll take 3 fumble recoveries.

[MadtownPacker]

Say what you want but last week 12 points this week 13 is very damn good defense. Especially in the modern. offense friendly NFL it is fucking awesome.

[Joemailman]

There is your...

https://png.pngtree.com/png-clipart/20190921/original/pngtree-green-dagger-decoration-illustration-png-image_4764593.jpg

[MadtownPacker]

No picks this week, but I'll take 3 fumble recoveries.
2 forced mofo!!

[ThunderDan]

Why is Ari calling timeouts down 21 with 5 minutes left?

[Joemailman]

Ouch. Hahahahahaha.

[ThunderDan]

Myers back in.

[King Friday]

I knew the Cardinals were bad, but they are really bad.

[red]

nice win

and still some things to work on

[Teamcheez1]

I knew the Cardinals were bad, but they are really bad.

Cardinals have had a tough schedule.

[Joemailman]

I knew the Cardinals were bad, but they are really bad.

They are very up and down. Beat the 49ers and blew out the Rams. Lost big to Packers and Commanders.

[Teamcheez1]

Love has thrown 4 TD’s in has last two games at Lambeau Field.
Favre did it in his career.
Rodgers didn’t.

[Fritz]

Every miss is to the right.

They really gotta check him for Peyronie's Disease.

[Joemailman]

That’s a shocking stat.
