Official Packers vs Dolphins Game Day Thread

[ThunderDan]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Tonight, the Packers go for 3 in a row. It should be an exciting game as Miami is playing much better with Tua under center.

It is going to be a cold game at Lambeau tonight. The last time the Dolphins played the Packers in Lambeau, it was another cold night game.

I expect the Packers to come out focused and play really well. Being 2 games behind the Lions we cannot stumble if we want to catch them and win the division.

Expect a high scoring game again from the Packers as we pound the ball down the Dolphins’ throat and run away in the 4th quarter.

Go Pack Go!!!

[Fosco33]

This feels like a trap game that shouldn’t feel like one… ya know? Perhaps it’s the lack of deep history or connection with the Dolphins, or a holiday or smashed between Niners/Lions week?

But we could easily watch the lions lose today and play for a division tie next week. That’s got to be motivation enough.

I expect a similar offensive gameplan as last week - or hope so. Jacobs is the workhorse and can help us setup the play action pass. The Dolphins secondary has injuries and I’m expecting Kraft to get more in the mix. Heath/Wicks will need to fill in the Doubs gap.

Defense needs to pin the ears back and play against a very fast team.

I think it’ll be a back and forth affair and Packers find a way to win.

30-27

[George Cumby]

Packers win.

[bobblehead]

These are the types of games I used to like to attend live. Bitter cold and in the dark. Only die hard fans are there live. Plastic flask of bourbon (would be Evan Williams if this year) in the jacket to keep me warm.

Every betting metric favors the Packers. Every emotional metric favors the Packers. Why am I nervous? Because I'm a fan and every fan but one team ends the season with a letdown.

Packers win, and I hope Wilson gets 20 touches. We need to have Jacobs be ready for the playoffs and his workload has been heavy. I also figure if Wilson gets 20 touches it means we are well ahead by halftime.

[Fosco33]

I was half thinking of racing up there after thanksgiving w/ my son. Tickets are cheap…

[CaptainKickass]

Obligatory game day post.

[George Cumby]

I was half thinking of racing up there after thanksgiving w/ my son. Tickets are cheap…

Do it.

I would.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Do it.

I would.

I’m thinking about checking into a Super 8 in the MKE and playing poker all weekend.

[George Cumby]

I’m thinking about checking into a Super 8 in the MKE and playing poker all weekend.

Whatever floats your boat.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Whatever floats your boat.

Damn Thanksgiving.

I’m at the Green Bay casino right now and there’s still not enough players to start a table. Plan was to play til 4. Drive to the MKE. Check into a Super 8. Watch the Pack. Sleep. Poker. Sleep. Poker. Sleep. Poker.

[MadtownPacker]

I was half thinking of racing up there after thanksgiving w/ my son. Tickets are cheap…
I saw last weeks tickets also cheap day before. Your lucky to be able to do it so put the turkey at 160° in the oven and get the fuck to the game mofo!

[sharpe1027]

In Jacobs we trust.

I really, really want to see a great game from LVN, Gary, or both. We could really use some pressure from the front 4 tonight.

[MadtownPacker]

Packers 34 - Miami 24!

[Fosco33]

Concussed

[MadtownPacker]

Arm was going forward.

[Fosco33]

So false starts and overthrows. This offense isn’t humming.

[sharpe1027]

That's a pass.

[beveaux1]

Not good.

[MadtownPacker]

Didn’t you say the weather doesn’t matter Joe?

[sharpe1027]

Cold weather fumble.

[beveaux1]

Good!!

[Fosco33]

See how the red zone offense does. Feed Jacobs.

[MadScientist]

That was a big 2 play swing.

[MadScientist]

Reed!

[beveaux1]

First completion. TD!!

[King Friday]

Short passing will win this game. Miami is committing to stopping the run. Love needs to be solid on three step drops. So far, so good.

[bobblehead]

Should have used play action on 2nd down, but 6 is 6

[MadtownPacker]

Cold weather fumble.
Told you so…. :lol:

[MadtownPacker]

I have never thought much of Tua and tonight reminds me why. Way overhyped.

[beveaux1]

We could have gotten that penalty.

[sharpe1027]

That should be a penalty, but whatever.

[Fosco33]

Dolphins playing like smelly tunas

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I have never thought much of Tua and tonight reminds me why. Way overhyped.

Don’t be too cocky. Tua is accurate as fuck when his head ain’t messed up.

[MadtownPacker]

Big defense by Watson or that’s likely a pick.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Wicks needs to stop listening to “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”

[sharpe1027]

Wicks can't catch. I don't care if he gets open.

[beveaux1]

Wicks can't catch. At all..

[MadtownPacker]

Don’t be too cocky. Tua is accurate as fuck when his head ain’t messed up.WORD! But unfortunately for him and his fans the guy’s head is already messed up.

[Fosco33]

Route led the receiver in harms way. Hard to say many people would catch that but… smh

[King Friday]

Wicks can sit his ass on the bench for awhile as far as I’m concerned.

[beveaux1]

Take away Wicks reps. Give them to Heath.

[MadtownPacker]

Wicks can't catch. At all..I was surprised during the offense game intros it was him and not Doubs.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Route led the receiver in harms way. Hard to say many people would catch that but… smh

Antonio Freeman woulda caught that. Dude was fearless across the middle.

[King Friday]

Antonio Freeman woulda caught that. Dude was fearless across the middle.

Correct. Knocking the ball up for grabs is not acceptable.

[MadtownPacker]

Finally see Kraft in the mix.

[sharpe1027]

I was surprised during the offense game intros it was him and not Doubs.
Concussion protocol for Doubs.

[MadtownPacker]

Shit Jacobs just rolled up Watson.

[MadtownPacker]

Concussion protocol for Doubs.
Oh that’s right. Guess I might have one or two myself. :lol:

[sharpe1027]

Nice run play.

[MadtownPacker]

Nice run play.
It does appear pounding the ball won’t be stopped.

[sharpe1027]

How is that not offsides?

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Make it rain, baby!

[Fosco33]

Sure looked like defensive offsides there

[MadtownPacker]

I’m good with an old school 50 runs game. Fuk APB!!

[ThunderDan]

Good push by the OL.

[beveaux1]

Jacobs is so good.

[Sparkey]

Wicks can't catch. At all..
Droptayvion Wicks

[MadScientist]

Jacobs! He earned that one.

[ThunderDan]

Touchdown Jinnglehemer Schmidt.

[MadtownPacker]

Sure looked like defensive offsides there
Yeah but it worked against them.

Damn another beating, down the field drive for a TD. The Packers looking dangerous now.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Imma copy the Packers’ version of the “make it rain” next time I win a big pot.

[bobblehead]

We lost 2 Aarons and we are ok

[King Friday]

This running attack is becoming a real problem for defenses. Watson may have a chance to redeem himself a little later, as Miami is going to have to commit more to the box.

[beveaux1]

We couldn't do this with Rodgers and Jones, and I really like Jones.

[sharpe1027]

They have the edge early with pass rush, but are getting owned against the run.

Nice to have a dominant back.

[ThunderDan]

We couldn't do this with Rodgers and Jones, and I really like Jones.

We could have done this but ARod overruled MiLFs offense when he was here.

[ThunderDan]

Great play by Stokes coming off his man to stop that for 2.

[MadtownPacker]

We could have done this but ARod overruled MiLFs offense when he was here.
I don’t think any Packers RB has been this tough a runner since Ahman.

[beveaux1]

We could have done this but ARod overruled MiLFs offense when he was here.

True, but if Jones carried it 26 times one week, he'd be out 3 weeks.

[MadtownPacker]

Great play by Stokes coming off his man to stop that for 2.
Yeah defense is really flying around the field the past few games. Has Saleh been working with them?

[ThunderDan]

I don’t think any Packers RB has been this tough a runner since Ahman.

Fat Eddie? I mean he was pretty great until he ate himself out of the league.

[King Friday]

Jones was never the short yardage threat that Jacobs is. Jacobs is what we hoped Dillon would be, and even better.

[sharpe1027]

Fat Eddie? I mean he was pretty great until he ate himself out of the league.
No.

[Fosco33]

Quay Walker sucks

[ThunderDan]

Great play by Wilson there. Stuffed the blocker and made the TFL.

[MadtownPacker]

Fat Eddie? I mean he was pretty great until he ate himself out of the league.
Cmon, if you can call a guy fat anything it’s ain’t even close!

[MadtownPacker]

Fuk tyreek!!!! Got his little ass!

[ThunderDan]

Come on D.

[bobblehead]

McDuffie is a very sure tackler

[ThunderDan]

That’s on us.

[MadtownPacker]

Since it’s TDay are we allowed to be greedy and hope for a shutout?

[sharpe1027]

Why did they blow the whistle dead?

[King Friday]

Short bus special teams again.

[MadScientist]

Can't give Tua that much time.

[ThunderDan]

Slayton, you are a complete idiot.

[sharpe1027]

No pressure. Only rushed 3.

[MadtownPacker]

Wow Fresno St representing!!

[Fosco33]

That was not neutral zone infraction

[beveaux1]

No pressure. None.

[sharpe1027]

Mosby!?!

[beveaux1]

Mosby!!

[MadtownPacker]

Mosby!!
You and Sharpe are watching on Peacock huh?

[King Friday]

I’ll take FGs all day. Great job D.

[MadtownPacker]

I’ll take FGs all day. Great job D.
Was thinking they would go for the TD.

[sharpe1027]

You and Sharpe are watching on Peacock huh?
Not me. Why? Delay?

[beveaux1]

I’ll take FGs all day. Great job D.

I agree.

[beveaux1]

You and Sharpe are watching on Peacock huh?

Just slow to type.

[ThunderDan]

Was thinking they would go for the TD.

I think if they had gotten 6 or more yards on 3rd down, they would have gone for the TD.

[ThunderDan]

Ok, there should be our 1 WR sweep. But we will run it 3 more times tonight.

[beveaux1]

Why don't we do that end around more often?

[MadtownPacker]

Not me. Why? Delay?
Yeah I saw the Mosley TD about 30secs before.
I just reupped my peacock subscription, well kinda. If you mofos didn’t know it’s 19.99 for a year but you have to alternate emails every year to get it.

[ThunderDan]

Why don't we do that end around more often?

We ran it 4 times last week. I am sure we will run it multiple times tonight.

[sharpe1027]

Why don't we do that end around more often?

It was getting stuffed for awhile. Too predictable.

[sharpe1027]

Yeah I saw the Mosley TD about 30secs before.
I just reupped my peacock subscription, well kinda. If you mofos didn’t know it’s 19.99 for a year but you have to alternate emails every year to get it.

I am streaming with YouTube TV.

[beveaux1]

We ran it 4 times last week. I am sure we will run it multiple times tonight.

Being facetious.

[MadtownPacker]

Ok, there should be our 1 WR sweep. But we will run it 3 more times tonight.
Fuk it! They arent stopping anything on the ground.

[King Friday]

Miami was being very aggressive, so the jet sweep makes sense. I don’t want to see it again until at least 4Q.

[King Friday]

Huh? A checkdown? Huh?

[MadtownPacker]

Love is playing very controlled tonight. Even that was a good throw.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

How about a bomb to Watson for fuck’s sake? That smashmouth shit just forced a punt!

[King Friday]

I love Reed, but on a short slant in tight coverage I would rather have a guy with size as the target.

[MadScientist]

Look at the ball and stay onsides.

[Fosco33]

How dumb is that to happen 2x?

[King Friday]

Fucking defense can’t figure out how to line up at the LOS. Stop it morons.

[ThunderDan]

I love Reed, but on a short slant in tight coverage I would rather have a guy with size as the target.

Yup, had Kraft on the mirror route on the other side.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Vanilla Ice!

[sharpe1027]

LVN!

[sharpe1027]

How's the cold feeling now Tua?

[beveaux1]

Two straight sacks!!

[MadScientist]

Kingsley has a great rush when they don't bother blocking him.

[ThunderDan]

D finally getting some pressure on passes.

That would be great to see a lot of down the stretch.

[beveaux1]

Gary hasn't had a sack, but he's right there every play.

[King Friday]

Kingsley won’t get too many sacks easier than that. LT was napping.

[King Friday]

Would love to see a TD drive here. Strip away some more confidence before half.

[ThunderDan]

Good catch by Wicks there.

[sharpe1027]

Punch em in the mouth, then do it again.

[beveaux1]

Good run by Brooks. Broke some tackles.

[ThunderDan]

2nd & 3rd string RBs look great this year.

[sharpe1027]

2nd & 3rd string RBs look great this year.

Yep. The O-line is the common denominator, but the RBs have been making people miss.

[MadtownPacker]

BS penalty that’s clown was hanging on Watson and fell on his own.

[sharpe1027]

Watson didn't do shit.

[MadtownPacker]

2nd & 3rd string RBs look great this year.
Just abusing the hell out of defenses.

[MadScientist]

Reed again!

[ThunderDan]

Wow, O is playing well.

4 drives, 3 TDs in the 1st half.

[beveaux1]

Offense looking good tonight.

[sharpe1027]

Love dialed it back just a bit and wow. Looks like second half of last year tonight.

[King Friday]

Love playing very composed. He’s taking what is given, and we have 3 first half TDs.

[MadScientist]

2nd & 3rd string RBs look great this year.

And the Marshawn Lloyd hasn't even played.

[MadtownPacker]

Dare we start dreaming…..

[MadtownPacker]

Love playing very composed. He’s taking what is given, and we have 3 first half TDs.
He woke up it seems. Maybe stopped believing all the hype.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I would hate to be the guy sitting behind that Frozen Tundra guy. Terrible view.

[MadtownPacker]

Love playing very composed. He’s taking what is given, and we have 3 first half TDs.
Everyone playing awesome! Miami looking stunned.

[MadtownPacker]

I would hate to be the guy sitting behind that Frozen Tundra guy. Terrible view.
He probably takes the helmet off. How can he watch the game like that.

[MadtownPacker]

Daammmmmnnnnn McDuffie just lit that mofo up!!

[ThunderDan]

Good stick by McDuffey.

[ThunderDan]

Let’s get 3 and end the half.

[ThunderDan]

4 for 5 scoring drives in the 1st half.

[MadScientist]

McManus = McMoney

[sharpe1027]

Jesus, I can't believe how nice it is to have a halfway decent kicker.

[beveaux1]

I feel very comfortable with McManus.

[Fosco33]

That ending was perfect. Prevent the mia fg to cut it to 2 scores and then go make it 21pt lead.

[King Friday]

Nearly flawless first half.

[MadScientist]

This has been the most complete half by the Packers since the playoff game in Dallas.

[MadtownPacker]

Mike McDaniel obviously doesn’t spend $100 a month for grooming like Pepe LaFleur. :lol:

[MadtownPacker]

I feel very comfortable with McManus.
You know he is good because we aren’t cringing on FG situations anymore.

[beveaux1]

You know he is good because we aren’t cringing on FG situations anymore.

I can actually open my eyes.

[ThunderDan]

Great 3 and out by the D to start the 2nd half.

[sharpe1027]

Bad throw by Tua. Too cold.

[King Friday]

The Dolphins track record in cold weather is holding up to this point with emphasis.

[beveaux1]

Miami looks miserable out there.

[MadtownPacker]

I can actually open my eyes.
Keep them open. Too much good stuff tonight.

Ok time to grind out a long drive that gets the 4th quarter closer.

[King Friday]

TD drive here would be the fork in the turkey.

[sharpe1027]

TD drive here would be the fork in the turkey.

Th dagger in the turkey.

[MadtownPacker]

He wanted that bad after last week.

[ThunderDan]

Great throw and catch.

[sharpe1027]

Fuck. Watson has all the physical talent in the world.

[King Friday]

This running attack is becoming a real problem for defenses. Watson may have a chance to redeem himself a little later, as Miami is going to have to commit more to the box.

Boom.

[MadtownPacker]

Awesome catch. Go for it!

[beveaux1]

Great play!!

[MadtownPacker]

FG is not bad. Save some fireworks for next week.

[ThunderDan]

Surprised we didn’t go for it there.

[sharpe1027]

Dolphins thinking about getting back to the warm hotel.

[MadtownPacker]

Surprised we didn’t go for it there.
Maybe McDaniel asked Pepe to not get him fired.

[King Friday]

FG there was the right choice. No point giving the Dolphins any hope or momentum. That basically makes it a 4 score game unless they could hit 3 straight 2 pt convs.

[beveaux1]

Dolphins thinking about getting back to the warm hotel.

6 minute drives while the offense sits in the snow and rain will do that to you.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Micah Hyde, 33, is got stuff armed. I ain’t get y’all hard ons for 33.

[MadtownPacker]

I can’t remember the last time the Packers were gangtackling like this.

[sharpe1027]

Micah Hyde, 33, is got stuff armed. I ain’t get y’all hard ons for 33.

He's made plays and hasn't shown up getting burned. He's not X, but what's not to like?

[MadScientist]

Sloppy defense there. And Miami has figured out some adjustments at the half.

[ThunderDan]

Too easy by the D. Need to make them take more time to score.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

He's made plays and hasn't shown up getting burned. He's not X, but what's not to like?

Getting stuff armed, missing tackles and not covering Kittle.

[beveaux1]

Nice drive. Offense needs to answer.

[MadtownPacker]

Nice drive. Offense needs to answer.
A TD with xp will do it.

[King Friday]

Offense needs to keep the pressure on. Don’t turtle up into weak running plays now.

[sharpe1027]

Getting stuff armed, missing tackles and not covering Kittle.
Fuck that. Everyone's gonna get stuff armed. Kittle wasn't just on him and it's Kittle.

No, you're right. Let's go back to Savage, Owens, and Ford.

[King Friday]

APB can’t find much to complain about, I see. All he’s got is five and dime shit tonight.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Fuck that. Everyone's gonna get stuff armed. Kittle wasn't just on him and it's Kittle.

No, you're right. Let's go back to Savage, Owens, and Ford.

Put Bullard in there.

[beveaux1]

Wicks caught it. Yay!!

[MadtownPacker]

Taking forever to get out of the 3rd quarter.

[King Friday]

Cmon…that was a weak run call.

[beveaux1]

Cmon…that was a weak run call.

Run blitz. They sent everyone to stop it.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Love shoulda called an audible. Mermen tecmo bowled that fucking smash mouth shit.

[King Friday]

90 minute pregame for the stupid Black Friday game. Yawn.

[sharpe1027]

Put Bullard in there.

He's been playing.

[Fosco33]

This is getting a little closer than expected

[MadtownPacker]

This is getting a little closer than expected
Shit about to be a TD. Love will have to put it away.

[Teamcheez1]

The offense has scored 3 points in the second half. It is up to them to finish this game off.

[sharpe1027]

Just need one long scoring drive to ice this.

[ThunderDan]

Come on D. Stop them here.

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah!!!!!

[MadScientist]

That was a huge stop.

[MadtownPacker]

The offense has scored 3 points in the second half. It is up to them to finish this game off.
Thought so too but defense had something to say.

[sharpe1027]

There we go!

[ThunderDan]

Sack and turnover on downs. Great job D.

Come on O. Let’s have a 6 minute scoring job.

[Fosco33]

Needed that

[beveaux1]

Great defensive stop. Best game this year by Van Ness.

[King Friday]

Great stop. Bend but don’t break.

[King Friday]

It is frustrating to watch Miami move down the field, but this is how you have to play against their offense. You can’t be too aggressive or Waddle and Hill will be waving deuces at you.

[beveaux1]

It is frustrating to watch Miami move down the field, but this is how you have to play against their offense. You can’t be too aggressive or Waddle and Hill will be waving deuces at you.

Every one of their drives takes a lot of time because there are no chunk plays.

[sharpe1027]

Great play design to Kraft.

[ThunderDan]

What a move by Jacobs.

[MadtownPacker]

Jacobs broke that mofos ankles!! :lol:

[beveaux1]

Jacobs left his jock on the field.

[ThunderDan]

Please be a forward pass.

[sharpe1027]

Forward.

[sharpe1027]

Love has been really good at moving in the pocket. Oline not great at creating a clean pocket.

[ThunderDan]

Perfect drive by the O. Moved right down the field and can finish the game here.

[MadtownPacker]

Not the dagger TD but should be enough.

[ThunderDan]

There is your dagger.

[Teamcheez1]

Offense scored 6 points in the second half.
It’s enough to win but not a great effort.

[King Friday]

That’s more like the fork in the turkey. Gobble gobble.

[ThunderDan]

Fun watching Jenkins give a little extra. Don’t like the penalty. But I like the nasty in Jenkins.

[beveaux1]

Nice drive. So close to a TD. FG makes it a 3 score game.

[beveaux1]

Offense scored 6 points in the second half.
It’s enough to win but not a great effort.

All you need is enough to win. I think it was a very good effort.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

I actually put $20 on the Mermen at +160. Winning woulda been gas money to the MKE for poker .

I’ll take a Packer win.

[beveaux1]

The oldest guy on the team tackles the runner.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Look, a blue moon! Cletidus shows up every blue moon.

[King Friday]

Offense scored 6 points in the second half.
It’s enough to win but not a great effort.

30 points is a very good effort any week in the NFL. I don’t buy into your delusion.

[MadScientist]

Clark with a sack!

[ThunderDan]

Offense scored 6 points in the second half.
It’s enough to win but not a great effort.

We scored on 6 of 9 drives tonight. 2 of 3 in the 2nd half.

[MadtownPacker]

Fuk tyreek and his cheap TD.

[beveaux1]

They scored too quickly. Now comes an onside kick.

[King Friday]

Fuk tyreek and his cheap TD.

He’ll be shopping Black Friday deals for travel come early January on the trip back to Miami.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

“Wicked” promotions make me wanna download porn.

[beveaux1]

Turn out the lights.

[Teamcheez1]

30 points is a very good effort any week in the NFL. I don’t buy into your delusion.

I spoke about the second half, not the entirety of the game.
Scoring 6 points is not very good. No delusion there.

[ThunderDan]

Play action to Kraft for the 1st down.

[ThunderDan]

I spoke about the second half, not the entirety of the game.
Scoring 6 points is not very good. No delusion there.

2 of 3 on scoring drives.

[sharpe1027]

That's pass interference.

[MadScientist]

That was a bullshit non-call.

[King Friday]

I spoke about the second half, not the entirety of the game.
Scoring 6 points is not very good. No delusion there.

They’ve moved the ball on every drive. You act like they are going 3 and out all the time.

[sharpe1027]

I swear the refs always want to end the game faster when it's cold.

[ThunderDan]

Obvious DPI not called.

O ends up scoring on 2 of 4 2nd half drives.

6 of 10 for the game.

[Teamcheez1]

Please keep arguing that scoring 6 points in the second half is good offense.

[sharpe1027]

Please keep arguing that scoring 6 points in the second half is good offense.
Just stop.

[beveaux1]

That was a bullshit non-call.

It was. Defense has to slow down the dolphins.

[King Friday]

Please keep arguing that scoring 6 points in the second half is good offense.

The plays are going to be more conservative when you are up 24 points, or do you not understand this? Yes, their red zone effectiveness was not great in the second half, but it wasn’t an effort issue like you suggest.

[ThunderDan]

Not sure the Dolphins needed to call a timeout there.

[MadtownPacker]

How many legs does Leroy’s turkey have?

[MadtownPacker]

Defense has been beastly tonight.
