The Official Packers @ Fishmongers WK 15 GameDay Thread

[Anti-Polar Bear]

What a weird season it has been for your boi, Tank Elf Duke. Watched the Balding Eagles game from a Super 8. Watched the Tyrants and second Pussies of Detroit games while a-grinding at poker. Will miss the 2nd halves of tonight and next week’s game, cos, damn night games and goddamed burger flipping duties call. Gonna be in smoke-filled Vegas for week 17 and 18 - maybe humble Bobble could invite me over to his palace to watch the games.

As for this game, I dunno a whole lot bout the Fishmongers. Maybe pick off Smith a few times. Maybe quit pooping out rocks. Maybe Love will shine. Hell, check out Coldplay’s recently released album, “Moon Music,” and maybe Pack will win.

Packers 72
Fishmongers 0

Power to the Packers!

[George Cumby]

Packers win.

[Willard]

The Pack gets to Geno: 2 picks; 5 sacks; 1 strip. Pack wins 27-17.

[King Friday]

Just like the Niners and Dolphins game, this is one that the Packers simply have to win in order to give me any confidence they can take the next step and do more damage in the postseason. A road trip can be tough, but the Packers have had extra time to prepare, which should largely negate the disadvantage. The offense needs to be able to control time of possession against a mediocre run defense. Getting all offensive players involved in the game early must be a priority. The defense has to show some kind of capability to defend the middle of the field. The coaching staff needs to get play calls in earlier and prevent defensive lines from having an advantage by letting the play clock get to zero.

I expect the Packers to win, but I doubt it will be convincingly.

[Fritz]

The Pack gets to Geno: 2 picks; 5 sacks; 1 strip. Pack wins 27-17.

If the defense plays like this, I’ll have some renewed confidence in this team.

If the win like 38 - 35, I won’t feel so good. I won’t feel horrible but it won’t inspire confidence.

[ThunderDan]

Go Pack Go!

Obligatory game day post.

Agreed. We need to be able to beat playoff teams.

I think this might be a prequel to the Wild Card round.

Sounds like Walker III is out at RB for the Seahawks but the backup rookie had a career game last week so it’s not a big trade off.

Our defense hasn’t been that impressive as of late but they do ok in the season view. While they’ve only allowed >20 in 5 of 13 games, not surprisingly, 3 of our 4 losses came when oppoents scored 30+points.

It’s not all of the Defense. The Offense has been oddly effective but either have a strange game plan or they have to adapt if behind, but still doesn’t feel like we always impose our will on the opponent. More of a feeling than anything.

We’ll see how we come out after the mini bye. I think we’ll lean early on with Jacobs and try to play ToP to keep Seahawks with fewer chances and allow our weak secondary to at least not get too tired with Geno nearly leading the league in yards, attempts, etc. He’s thrown over 300 3 times and has had two games with 50+ attempts. He’ll run in a few times a game but we should be at least planning on stopping the rookie RB and a pass happy offense.

Hoping we get Doubs back and the passing game benefits from a rush heavy Jacobs. I think it’ll be high scoring and would guess something like 30-27 for the win.

Go Pack!

[Guiness]

Is the Seattle stadium still extremely loud? I remember during their SB years it was known for being very loud at field level and visiting offenses needing to go to a silent snap count. Is that still the case?

[MadtownPacker]

Is the Seattle stadium still extremely loud? I remember during their SB years it was known for being very loud at field level and visiting offenses needing to go to a silent snap count. Is that still the case?Yeah it’s the same shit. It might have been louder during the legion of boom years for the fan base. They are definitely going to get a hard on for the Packers coming back to town so expect nothing less.

[Teamcheez1]

It’s a real shame we are only playing for wild card seeding.
Nonetheless, this is an important game to build for the playoffs.
Let’s see which version of the Packers shows up tonight.

[Joemailman]

Here's the full list of inactives:

Green Bay Packers

18 WR Malik Heath
20 S Javon Bullard
23 CB Jaire Alexander
62 OL Jacob Monk

Seattle Seahawks

9 RB Kenneth Walker III
15 QB Jaren Hall
22 CB Tre Brown
23 CB Artie Burns
38 TE Brady Russell
50 LB Trevis Gipson
82 WR Cody White

[Joemailman]

It should be loud. But I don't know if it's any louder than what the Packers dealt with last week.

[ThunderDan]

I wish Carrie was under my wood.

[MadtownPacker]

Fuk seattle!!

Packers 32 - seahawks 19

[ThunderDan]

Are they going to show the fail Mary every time we play Seattle?

[MadtownPacker]

I wish Carrie was under my wood.
Didn’t Romo hit that?

[MadtownPacker]

It’s a real shame we are only playing for wild card seeding.
Nonetheless, this is an important game to build for the playoffs.
Let’s see which version of the Packers shows up tonight.
Yeah tonight’s team is likely who we get for the playoff run. I got high hopes too!!

[MadtownPacker]

Nice how the bring out a lot of Packers traitors but no Seattle ones.

[ThunderDan]

Good return Nixon!

[MadtownPacker]

Love should be able to see the coverage easy with the glow-in-the-dark uniforms.

[ThunderDan]

Nice how the bring out a lot of Packers traitors but no Seattle ones.

Ahman Green!

[MadtownPacker]

Ahman Green!
Awesome selection man.

[MadtownPacker]

Nice first drive just pounding it down the field.

[Teamcheez1]

My vote for ugliest uniforms goes to the Seahags.

[ThunderDan]

Right down their throats.

[ThunderDan]

My vote for ugliest uniforms goes to the Seahags.

My wife agrees.

[MadtownPacker]

It must suck being Seattle knowing Jacobs wasn’t getting stopped.

[ThunderDan]

Wow, that is exactly what I want to see the last 4 weeks of the season and playoffs.

[beveaux1]

6 minute TD drive. Smashmouth!!

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Riding the Filipino Bulldog hard, I see.

[MadtownPacker]

Riding the Filipino Bulldog hard, I see.
Mofo you didn’t like that TD. Too much running the ball down their throats no?

[ThunderDan]

Ok D, let’s get the O the ball back.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Mofo you didn’t like that TD. Too much running the ball down their throats no?

Fine with it. Woulda loved to see a 70 yard bomb 6 to Watson first play.

[ThunderDan]

Slayton with a good stop.

[Teamcheez1]

We should consider covering Metcalf.

[ThunderDan]

Glad Cooper is back.

[MadScientist]

COOOOOP!

[beveaux1]

Edge!!

[MadtownPacker]

Fine with it. Woulda loved to see a 70 yard bomb 6 to Watson first play.
:lol: Mamon! You will get one later but they need to impose their will first. Maybe you should try that at the poker tables.

[ThunderDan]

Waste of a time out.

[ThunderDan]

We are carving up the Seattle D.

[ThunderDan]

Romeo wanted that more than Seattle wanted to tackle.

[MadtownPacker]

Even with his big cushion helmet he makes catches!

[beveaux1]

Man oh man!!

[MadtownPacker]

Romeo wanted that more than Seattle wanted to tackle.
Nice to see him and Love get a redzone TD.

[MadScientist]

Packers just out-muscling the Seahawks. I love it. Now don't let up.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Even with his big cushion helmet he makes catches!

Looks like a cartoon character, but who cares about looks?

[Sparkey]

Packers have came out with really sharp focus. The offense is hammering them up front

[George Cumby]

I have a raging hard-on, rn.

[MadtownPacker]

Looks like a cartoon character, but who cares about looks?
Madden jumbo helmet mode.

[Joemailman]

Total yards 128-12

[ThunderDan]

Ok D, stop them here.

[Fosco33]

You guys see that clear hip drop tackle on the long play by Jacobs where he juked the guy and broke a tackle? Clear as they come.

[ThunderDan]

Come on Quay. When the guy catches it near you don’t wait for him. Go and tackle him.

[ThunderDan]

Sack baby!

[beveaux1]

Nice sack!!

[ThunderDan]

Oladepo in on the kickoff.

[MadtownPacker]

Good save by Love avoiding the sack. Looking solid.

[Fosco33]

It’s one of those games where I don’t move from the couch if teams in the offensive groove. Hasn’t happened much this year.

[ThunderDan]

Wicks with the catch.

[Fosco33]

That’s like the 3rd time by 8. Is that legal?

[ThunderDan]

What a catch by Watson. Better throw is a TD.

[Fosco33]

What a catch!

[MadtownPacker]

Watson starting to be the real deal we all hoped for.

[Fosco33]

Hope to see some more of Reed and Jacobs

[MadtownPacker]

Damn the FG feels like a stop :lol:

[Teamcheez1]

Doubs could have made a better effort on that ball.

[ThunderDan]

So glad we got McManus. Kicking game isn’t the cluster it has been for 2 years.

[beveaux1]

So glad we got McManus. Kicking game isn’t the cluster it has been for 2 years.

Me, too. He keeps me from closing my eyes.

[MadScientist]

Ticky tack call for the home team.

[sharpe1027]

Phantom call.

[ThunderDan]

That wasn’t a penalty. Thanks refs for keeping the drive alive for Seattle.

[Teamcheez1]

It’s just a matter of time until the Seahags figure out our defense.

[Fosco33]

Weak holding call imo

[Teamcheez1]

Our secondary stinks.

[King Friday]

Nixon is struggling in the slot.

[ThunderDan]

Glad that Cooper is back.

[sharpe1027]

WTF is with these refs?

[Fosco33]

Hmm. Back to back 3rd down questionable holding on the same guy…

[sharpe1027]

Nixon is struggling in the slot.
Two very weak calls. I don't blame him.

[Fosco33]

Next man up

[ThunderDan]

OPI? Nope.

[ThunderDan]

Valentine with the pick.

[MadtownPacker]

Should have stand in but still a good INT.

[ThunderDan]

Our secondary stinks.

Pick in the red zone. Maybe wait until the points are on the board next drive.

[beveaux1]

Pick by Valentine. Good 2nd chance!

[King Friday]

Take a knee, kid.

[ThunderDan]

Jingle Heimer Schmidt with a good run called back by a holding.

[beveaux1]

Take a knee, kid.

He never gets a chance to run it. He was like a kid at Christmas.

[ThunderDan]

Face mask? Looked like Janos head snapped.

[ThunderDan]

Wow, Kraft wanted that more than anyone on the D.

[MadtownPacker]

He never gets a chance to run it. He was like a kid at Christmas.
Ha! That’s the best way to put it man. He was never staying in the end zone.

[Joemailman]

Wonder if Kraft played basketball. Did a nice job of boxing out there.

[ThunderDan]

We are just gashing Seattle on O.

[MadtownPacker]

Any score before half would be great.

[ThunderDan]

Looks like Chicago at the end of the Det game.

[Teamcheez1]

Really poor clock management.

[ThunderDan]

Really poor clock management.

That I can agree with.

[Teamcheez1]

Take the FG.

[Fosco33]

If kick it. But what do I know

[beveaux1]

Kick the FG!!

[ThunderDan]

We were never snapping the ball. FG gets us up 3 scores.

[MadtownPacker]

On pace for 40 isn’t too bad.

[Joemailman]

Couldn't you run a quick pass in less than 4 seconds?

[sharpe1027]

Couldn't you run a quick pass in less than 4 seconds?

Unlikely and risk a pick since the would basically be blind.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Got burgers to flip, folks. Might be able to catch 2nd half on the iPhone thanks to Peacock if boss ain’t micromanaging.

[MadtownPacker]

Couldn't you run a quick pass in less than 4 seconds?
I was thinking it was enough time also but Pepe wanted the sure 3. Can’t say he is wrong.

[beveaux1]

Couldn't you run a quick pass in less than 4 seconds?

Couldn't take the chance. Can't give up the chance for any points.

[beveaux1]

I really like Jacobs. He's the real deal. Jones was very good, but we couldn't feed him the ball like we can feed Jacobs.

[Fritz]

Couldn't take the chance. Can't give up the chance for any points.

God the female sports reporters are hot these days.

Oh, the game. Five seconds, you take a shot, maybe. But glad to have the points.

[ThunderDan]

Took too much time around midfield getting the play off.

[ThunderDan]

Come on D. Let’s get a stop.

[ThunderDan]

Wyatt with great pressure up the middle.

[MadtownPacker]

Geno is no Tommy Cutlet.

[Fosco33]

A go pack go chant on the road? Ballsy

[MadtownPacker]

Can’t believe they’re not going for it.

[ThunderDan]

Great job D stopping Seattle from scoring on the 1st drive of the 2nd half.

[Teamcheez1]

I would let that go at the 6.

[beveaux1]

Great job D stopping Seattle from scoring on the 1st drive of the 2nd half.

Wyatt can be slowed, but he can't be stopped.

[ThunderDan]

Let’s get this first down and keep Seattles O off the field,

[ThunderDan]

Let’s get this first down and keep Seattles O off the field,

Oopppsss. Rhyan with the wiff.

[MadtownPacker]

Terrible play call. QB sneak would have got it.

[ThunderDan]

Terrible play call. QB sneak would have got it.

Doesn’t help when your RG hits air.

[beveaux1]

Bad punt.

[Joemailman]

Terrible play call. QB sneak would have got it.

If you don't block Leonard Williams, don't matter what you call.

[King Friday]

Need to start attacking more on 2nd and short.

[Fosco33]

I feel a turnover or quick stop here. We’re getting crazy internal pressure.

[beveaux1]

I think Whelan wasn't warm. No practice this game.

[Teamcheez1]

Please don’t go into your shell for the second half MLF.

[MadtownPacker]

Shit. The backup might start killing the Packers D.

[MadtownPacker]

I’m predicting an X INT.

[ThunderDan]

Nixon with a great job taking on the block and making the tackle.

[ThunderDan]

Still not sure why you would jump and turn after throwing a screen to the flat.

[beveaux1]

Smith may not be back in. Looked like an ankle.

[King Friday]

Just keep passing it. Seattle is not interested in any more of Jacobs.

[ThunderDan]

Good throw and catch by Watson.

[ThunderDan]

Just keep passing it. Seattle is not interested in any more of Jacobs.

Seattle running a lot of run blitzes to stop Jacobs from getting momentum.

[ThunderDan]

Watson having a really strong game tonight.

[Teamcheez1]

Another second half where the offense gets nothing done.

[Fosco33]

Back to 3 score - minus Geno

[King Friday]

MLF getting way too boring on second down. I get that we don’t really need it in this game, but this team needs to learn to do it at some point. You have to get more aggressive.

[beveaux1]

Playing complimentary football. If the defense plays well, the offense needs to burn time.

[beveaux1]

4th sack.

[ThunderDan]

Playing complimentary football. If the defense plays well, the offense needs to burn time.

Yup, back to a 3 score game and burnt clock. An excellent drive.

[Fosco33]

55 says - i got this series yall.

[beveaux1]

Enagbare with 2 sacks and a tackle.

[Teamcheez1]

Will the offense score a TD in the second half?

[MadScientist]

Kingsley with the takeover of that series.

[Joemailman]

Seattle crowd not much of an obstacle tonight.

[beveaux1]

Will the offense score a TD in the second half?

Who cares if we win by 3 scores.

[King Friday]

The NFC playoff picture is starting to become very clear in terms of who the 7 teams will be.

[ThunderDan]

Game is moving quickly.

[ThunderDan]

Who cares if we win by 3 scores.

If we don’t score 35+ points every week it is a failure. Not like the other team gets paid to try to stop us.

[beveaux1]

Reed's best return of the year.

[ThunderDan]

Don’t snap this. Up 3 scores and the backup QB.

[Teamcheez1]

Who cares if we win by 3 scores.
I want see us play for 4 qtrs. We generally don’t.

[Joemailman]

Nice punt by Ol' Whelan.

[King Friday]

I want see us play for 4 qtrs. We generally don’t.

Few teams do. If that is your goal, you will be continually disappointed. If you like 4 quarter dominance, go watch the NCAA.

[Guiness]

Let’s see if Howell realizes he has receivers and RBs this series, lol

[Joemailman]

I want see us play for 4 qtrs. We generally don’t.

They've gone on the road and dominated a team leading their division. You are hard to please.

[ThunderDan]

This feels like an INT coming up.

[Guiness]

Few teams do. If that is your goal, you will be continually disappointed. If you like 4 quarter dominance, go watch the NCAA.

I’d actually prefer to see Malik from here on out

[Joemailman]

Time for a dagger.

[Fosco33]

Missing hold - that was a safety

[smuggler]

Egregious hold in the end zone ignored because of competitive reasons.

[beveaux1]

Few teams do. If that is your goal, you will be continually disappointed. If you like 4 quarter dominance, go watch the NCAA.

We don't get ranked by how badly we beat the other team. As Al Davis said "Just win, Baby".

[ThunderDan]

Love, you got to hit the wide open WR.

[ThunderDan]

Shoot, ok D shut it down.

[Teamcheez1]

I guess we will have another 2nd half with zero offense.

[King Friday]

I guess we will have another 2nd half with zero offense.

Yes, and will still win by 3 scores.

[smuggler]

Zebras gifting the Seahawks the free two points might actually matter now.

[ThunderDan]

Let’s eat up 6 minutes and score.

[Fritz]

I guess we will have another 2nd half with zero offense.

The second half offense is non-existent. Non-existent.

[smuggler]

I think with our first round pick this year, we should draft a quarterback.

[Teamcheez1]

Stupid challenge.

[Fosco33]

Another bad LaFleur challenge

[ThunderDan]

Stupid challenge. Who is in charge of telling MiLF when to challenge? They should be fired.

[beveaux1]

0-6 in challenges.

[Fritz]

He’ll,they aren’t even eating clock, much less scoring points. Run game has disappeared, and everything looks like a struggle.

[ThunderDan]

Seattle D only giving up 15.5 ppg over the last 4.

[Fritz]

There goes a wasted timeout due to a stupid challenge.

[smuggler]

Last Five Drives: 3 plays and a Punt, Field Goal, 3 plays and a Punt, 2 plays and a Fumble, 3 plays and a Punt

[ThunderDan]

Fuck, just catch the ball.

Game is out of reach without the fumble.

[Teamcheez1]

Go ahead and punt. We’ll give you the ball right back in a few plays.

[Fritz]

The Packers are getting sloppier and sloppier. Christ, the offense needs to move the ball for a while.

[ThunderDan]

That’s what we need.

Quick passes. Seattle selling out on the run.

[ThunderDan]

Enough of the end arounds now.

[Fosco33]

I don’t like LaFleurs clock mgmnt, timeout usage and challenges this season.

[Fritz]

The offensive line is not run-blocking very well right now.

[Sparkey]

That Oline isn't going to get it done in the playoffs.

[Teamcheez1]

MLF and the second half offense.
A comedy of errors.

[Fosco33]

Had a chance to run it 2x after a time out and you can’t convert. That was another couple min off the clock and points. Not a good 2nd half for the offense.

[Fritz]

I don’t know enough to know why the offense is sucking ass now.

[beveaux1]

That Oline isn't going to get it done in the playoffs.

Seattle selling out on the run. 8 in the box every play.

[King Friday]

Horrible play call on 4th down. The inside run isn’t going to work anymore.

However, you can’t blame MLF for Reed being unable to stand up on a route he was wide open.

[ThunderDan]

I really like Cooper.

[MadtownPacker]

That’s game mofos!!!

[MadScientist]

COOOOOOOOOOP!

[Teamcheez1]

Cooper is a difference maker.

[Joemailman]

Coooooooooooopp!

[Fosco33]

Cooper back and quay out… seems to be ok

[Fosco33]

That’s game mofos!!!

Fuck yeah hombre. Lets take this to knees or 3 score lead

[Teamcheez1]

Can we gain 30 yards?

[Fosco33]

Shitty play calling

[ThunderDan]

Boom!

[MadtownPacker]

Yeah fuck Seattle!!!

[MadScientist]

Doubs! Big time TD catch there.

[beveaux1]

Romeo!!

[King Friday]

Packers did so well with tempo in the first half. Second half had regressed back to slow slow slow slow. Stop it MLF.

[MadtownPacker]

Doubs is back haters!!!

[Fosco33]

Some great catches today

[Teamcheez1]

Thank you!!!! About damn time.

[ThunderDan]

Dobbs got 2 feet an elbow and a wrist all inbounds.

[Guiness]

Love had no damn business attempting that throw, but wow what a catch by Doubs

[King Friday]

For a team that only plays one half of offense, we score 30 points a lot.

[Fosco33]

For a team that only plays one half of offense, we score 30 points a lot.

7th time this year

[ThunderDan]

Would have been anther great catch for Watson.

[MadtownPacker]

Where is Rastak to say thank you for making it so the vikings get in the playoffs?

[ThunderDan]

Good job boys!

17 point on the road against a team with a winning record in the playoff hunt.

[MadtownPacker]

Good job boys!

17 point on the road against a team with a winning record in the playoff hunt.
It did seem like they dominated. Offense had some stalls in the second half but did enough.

[ThunderDan]

It did seem like they dominated. Offense had some stalls in the second half but did enough.

Completely dominated the 1st half.

[MadtownPacker]

Love is trading his game jersey. Thought they couldn’t do that and would give each other an alternate.

[Joemailman]

More Banjo Thread posted.

[King Friday]

Dominating performance overall. Near flawless first half followed by another ho-hum second half. Huge plus that we did not see many pre snap penalties. Maybe that crap has been taken care of. Defensively, Cooper’s return really dialed up the pressure. If Jaire can be healthy for the postseason, this team can play with anyone.

[Willard]

Pretty close!
