PACKERS -VS- SEAHAWKS: August 18, 2007 preseason game thread

[RashanGary]

Holiday was the WR.

[Willard]

http://ustream.tv/channel/mohos-show You can watch the game here, it has no audio, but you can stream from the radio as well and get audio/video, the plays don't line up, but it's fine, i'm not complaining!

It's been funny watching the viewers go up from 91 when I first checked out a minute ago to a 107 right now. Good find OS.


cooooool THX

[GrnBay007]

When was the last time the Packers won their first 2 preseason games?

[cpk1994]

In case anybody is wonding, the Brewers finally win one, 8-4.

[woodbuck27]

MM going for it on that 4th down.

We'll be accused of running up the score.

Ahhhhh what the heck ! :cat:

[Him8123]

another turnover

[PackerTimer]

In case anybody is wonding, the Brewers finally win one, 8-4.

Funny thing, is that the last game the Breweres won was last Saturday night when the Packers also won. So clearly, the Packers need to play every night to help out the Brewers.

[Him8123]

maybe not

[Partial]

I think this is a case of the suckies out of seattle versus a case of the awesomes out of the Packers.

[cpk1994]

The lone FA makes a nice play!

[packinpatland]

When was the last time the Packers won their first 2 preseason games?

Most points scored in a preseason game since 1938?!

Need to put things inperspectivie , the Patriots lost their first 2.......preseason :roll:

Not in a preseason game. Coaches need to work on specific down and distances.

:bclap:

[Spaulding]

Any chance Peprah makes the roster at safety? Collins, Bigby, Rouse, and who?? Manuel? Peprah? Culver? Underwood should go PUP otherwise I'm fearful he's in trouble of making the team which would be a shame given when healthy he looked good last year.

[BallHawk]

Screw Thompson, stopped us from making it 50+. :evil:

[Spaulding]

Screw Thompson, stopped us from making it 50+. :evil:

Still plenty of time left in the 4th. Heard it here first, Crosby with a 55 yarder in the rain to give us 51 points :)

[BEARMAN]

It's Preseason, ... :roll: and you are playing their seconds and thirds while your ones are still in !? :roll: :doh: whhhoooo hhhhooooo yiiiippppeeeeee you win, you win, .... :bs:

The ONLY reason the ones were still out there was for Arron Rodgers to get time with them. I guess your mad that Rodgers looks better than Wrecks so far this preseason.

[GrnBay007]

Hodge!!

Another takeaway.

Our ones crushed their ones.

[cpk1994]

Refs trying to take mercy on Holmgren.

[cpk1994]

Damn is Ryan uncorking them tonight. 59 yarder.

[Brohm]

Clifton and Jackson left with Farve. The rest of the 1's left after the initial series (with Rodgers). Also, a good chunk of our "1's" are second year players.

Keep on wishing.

[woodbuck27]

It's Preseason, ... :roll: and you are playing their seconds and thirds while your ones are still in !? :roll: :doh: whhhoooo hhhhooooo yiiiippppeeeeee you win, you win, .... :bs:

[cpk1994]

Punting exibition is finally over.

[GrnBay007]

Also, a good chunk of our "1's" are second year players.




He doesn't understand that. Wrex has been with the Bears for years and just completed his first full year of play.

[BallHawk]

Damn is Ryan uncorking them tonight. 59 yarder.

That was Dougherty punting, not Ryan. At least according to gamecenter.

[cpk1994]

Damn is Ryan uncorking them tonight. 59 yarder.

That was Dougherty punting, not Ryan. At least according to gamecenter.I think you are right, my bad. Both of them are really uncorking them.

[cpk1994]

Hodge with a sack.

[GrnBay007]

5 sacks last week - 7 sacks this week!!

[Terry]

Just making sure you all can hear the game:

They won't let the feed go overseas! I've never seen that before. I guess it's NFL Field Pass for me again.

No matter, many thanks to everyone (especially to Partial) for the play commentary.

[Terry]

http://ustream.tv/channel/mohos-show You can watch the game here, it has no audio, but you can stream from the radio as well and get audio/video, the plays don't line up, but it's fine, i'm not complaining!

It deson't matter as they have to block the game feed during the regular season anyway. Have to protect FieldPass.

[RashanGary]

I've been gleaming with optimism all year. Our offenses whole problem was the Olines inablity to get a push. That is fixed and everyone looks better becuase of it. As far as the defense is concerned, they were good last year but had some coverage problems and I believe they should be better because they had all off season to figure out how to fix that thing. We have a good, physical young team that has a real chance to compete with the Bears in the North. Many laughed at me, but look at this. The first units were dominate and this is what this team is capable of.

[cpk1994]

Boy, Dougherty really has a leg.

Yes, I know. I'll get fieldpass, and catch a couple of games on sky sports and with luck a couple more on sopcast or tvuplayer.

Woodbuck, does this mean you don't see doom for this season then? :)

[woodbuck27]

'D' has 7 sack's and 3 picks and 4 FF with 9 Mins. remaining in the 4th Qtr.

[cpk1994]

2 minute warning. Packers on the doorstep of another score.

[Scott Campbell]

Woodbuck, does this mean you don't see doom for this season then? :)


Whaddya mean???

Woody's been Ted's biggest supporter all along.

:D

[BallHawk]

C'mon, 50 points! Let's go.

[cpk1994]

I think Thompson is about to hit the unemployment line.

[BallHawk]

Well, Ingle Martin is going to be the #3.

[Lurker64]

Thompson throws 2 Red Zone INTs. Perhaps Ingle's job is safer than anticipated.

[GrnBay007]

Woodbuck, does this mean you don't see doom for this season then? :)


Whaddya mean???

Woody's been Ted's biggest supporter all along.

:D

:shock:

[BallHawk]

Goddamit, Thompson. All you had to do was sit on your ass and we could of made it 51.

Loser.

[cpk1994]

Game Over. 48-13 Pack.

[BallHawk]

Well, we still dominated, albeit a preseason game.

Next week, we're on TV. :wave: :tup:

[Scott Campbell]

Lots of good stuff in this game.

[GrnBay007]

48-13 Packers

2-0 Preseason!

[Spaulding]

Me likey, let's just hope we continue to progress and build momentum going into the regular season against the Eagles.

[Willard]

why didn't Herron get any carries? anybody know?

[Him8123]

is M3 and M1 not getting along????

[cpk1994]

is M3 and M1 not getting along????No, Holmgren is just really mad at his team. I would love to be a fly on the wall when he gets in the locker room.

Our 'D' was huge in this lopsided win.

We need to see a little more fr. the passing game (not too bad though) and running game still.

Time left for that.

[Partial]

That was fun!

[Willard]

is M3 and M1 not getting along????No, Holmgren is just really mad at his team. I would love to be a fly on the wall when he gets in the locker room.

what happened? was their a chilly reception at mid-field after the game?

[b bulldog]

My biggest negative was the coverage units.

[oregonpackfan]

IMO, Paul Thompson was lacking in both his pass accuracy and his decision-making. His passes were often off the mark.

In his first interception, there is no way he should have forced that ball into the end zone. He should have simply overthrown the well-covered receiver.

[RashanGary]

Brandon Jackson looked good
The starting Oline looked good
James Jones looked good
Bubba looked just like the Bubba of 2001-2004

I've been saying all off season that if the Oline can get a push (esspecially in the redzone and on 1st down) we can be a very good offense. It all starts with the Oline and IMO they were the biggest weakness on our offense and almost the sole reason that we were ineffective (esspecially in the redzone)

I think we can have a top 5 defense and a top 10 offense. I've been saying it all off season and now it's starting to look like it's coming together. The best thing about this team is that as good as they are now, they'll get better as the season wears on and if we get in the playoffs, we'll be playing our best football. I think we can and should expect big things from this team. Let's let the rest of the preseaosn play out and a couple or real games before we really crown anyone, but this is exactly what I expected.

[RashanGary]

My biggest negative was the coverage units.

The 1st team coverage units were DOMINATE. I agree that that 2nd and 3rd unit were pretty bad though.

[b bulldog]

TT has built a strong D. Hopefully Monty's MCL injury won't keep him out too long. Should be a fun season, the Lions and Bears are also looking good.

[GrnBay007]

MM..."We still have work to do" He sure seems focused in his interviews.

[cpk1994]

is M3 and M1 not getting along????No, Holmgren is just really mad at his team. I would love to be a fly on the wall when he gets in the locker room.

what happened? was their a chilly reception at mid-field after the game?Kind of. But as I said, Holmgren is so angry, the handshake isn't what he is thinking about.

[b bulldog]

I love kicking his ass

[b bulldog]

Our D line is so deep. We were getting pressure all night, man do I love to watch a defensive team.

I agree. I think the offense is a lot better than you give them credit though.

[RashanGary]

I was happy to see Corey Williams out at DE. If they wern't planning on using him there before, I hope they consider it now. He'd be a very good run stopping DT to spell Kamp in run downs.

[b bulldog]

I don't but we'll see. Our running game will bring the O down imo. Jackson isn't ready to carry the load imo.

[RashanGary]

haha, we shall see :)

[b bulldog]

I hope we keep Williams, he is a strong contributer on D.

[RashanGary]

I hope we keep Williams, he is a strong contributer on D.

I agree. IMO right now is the time to tie him up. I don't want to get to next off season and then act suprised that some team offered him 7 mil per year with the rising cap and the inflated market prices.

[b bulldog]

hE IS THE ONLY PLAYER with any real worth that will be unrestricted at years end.

[Partial]

They should lock him up now because he will definitely get a big time offer. Put the big bonus this year. If he gets hurt and is a shitty player from their on out, there isn't any long term damage if we would need to release him.

TT has to be working something out.

[GrnBay007]

Sorry but I'm so excited for this season. With Brett approaching so many records and it's looking like DD, Jennings and JJ are looking hot hot hot....things are looking up!!! :P

[b bulldog]

JJ looks oustanding a I really like his physicality.

JJ looks oustanding a I really like his physicality.

He looks like he will be a very solid three. That means they have good players at 1, 2 and 3. I'm quite happy with that.

[b bulldog]

Martin and Holiday are better than most think also.

[GrnBay007]

Martin and Holiday are better than most think also.

Yep, been a long time since there's been depth there. (*keeping my fingers crossed*)

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't but we'll see. Our running game will bring the O down imo. Jackson isn't ready to carry the load imo.

I liked Jackson's decision making tonight. I think he could be OK, even if they have to start him. He'll improve. I remember how much better Samkon Gado got from game-to-game when he was thrown into the fire as a puppy.

the big negative I see coming out of the game is that it didn't count. Wish there was something that could be done about that.

[b bulldog]

Jackson WILL HIT THE ROOKIE WALL!!!! They all do and that is why I'm holding back on him. The running game hinges on a second back that will be needed come November.

Vernon Morency?

[b bulldog]

Obviously but he needs to stay healthy and I don't think he will be able to do so.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Morency has to GET healthy before he can STAY healthy. I think tendonitis is a very worrying thing. I won't be surprised if they put him on the 6 week PUP.

[b bulldog]

I like Jackson much more than Morency.

[Rastak]

Watching the end of the second quarter now....Packers look pretty sharp. Rodgers looks good again. Jackson looks serviceable. Jones made a fantastic catch and looks like a player, Defense played well although it seems like the Hawks started their second team offense right from the get go. Their LT was getting beat left and right. Stll, overall the 1st half the Packers played a great game.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

The best thing I take from that game is the o-line, that was the unit I really wanted to play well and they did. If they can open up holes like that all season, I think we will be okay in the running game.

Overall, a heck of a game.

[Rastak]

WTF is wrong with Jarrett Bush? He acts like he just locked up the superbowl....gezz. Nice play but leave the dancing to Emmitt Smith.

[Rastak]

Looks like Rayner and Crosby are in a close battle......Packers certainly have to be happy with this game.

[Scott Campbell]

Harlan,

Please don't give Vick any more bright ideas.

Thanks,

Scott

Our punters crushed the ball last night too - in the rain. Both losers in the camp battle could end up starting somewhere else.

[GBRulz]

Not only am I very happy with the improvement from one week to the next, but WE DOMINATED AT HOME !!!

[GBRulz]

I didn't see the game on TV, so am not sure if they showed this or not, but did they do the dedication thing for the fallen soldier who was a huge Packer fan? They had his picture up on the jumbotron and his family out on the field before the game. It was very touching.

[GBRulz]

Here are some nominations for your next Jersey

1. Ingle Martin
2. Noah Herron
3. Orange Juice Coston
4. Marquand Manuel
5. Frank Walker
6. Zac Alcorn
Cheers,
B

No, you cannot have Alcorn's name, sorry ! :wink:

Hey BF4... if you are looking for a jersey name patch, go to any screen printer or embroidery company. I would think that requests for things like this are not uncommon. Try Team Apparel on Military....

The difference is the puppy Harlan's talking about was able to get out of the fire... :!:

Preseason Special Offer!

Packers capitalize on Seahawks mistakes in blowout win

Associated Press

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- For all of Brett Favre's questions about the readiness of some of his younger teammates, only one question mattered Saturday night: To leap or not to leap?

Rookie receiver James Jones did a "Lambeau leap" into the grandstands after scoring a touchdown early in Green Bay's 48-13 preseason rout of Seattle. But rookie running back Brandon Jackson passed, choosing instead to jog back to the sideline to celebrate with his teammates.

"I thought about the Lambeau leap," Jackson said. "But I was winded, and it was wet and slippery."

Favre directed the Packers to 17 points in their first four drives after declaring earlier this week that their dismal showing in its preseason debut at Pittsburgh -- they failed to gain a single first down with Favre under center -- left him as frustrated as he had ever been after a preseason game.

"I think we executed better," Favre said, in comments issued through the Packers' public relations department after halftime. "Last week, we didn't execute very well. Guys made some plays."

The Seahawks weren't exactly poised to put up much of a fight, as cautious coach Mike Holmgren sat quarterback Matt Hasselbeck and both of his starting offensive tackles.

"It shouldn't matter," Holmgren said.

"Those are three very good players, but it shouldn't make that kind of a difference. We got injured last year and guys had to come in and play. I just didn't think we played very well. We didn't execute at all."

At least the Seahawks didn't come away from the game with any major injuries.

"Why would we?" Holmgren said.

"We didn't hit anybody."

It was the most prolific preseason scoring output since the days of leather helmets for the Packers, who beat the Cedar Rapids Crush 75-0 in 1938.

Favre showed increased comfort with two rookie teammates, handing off to Jackson for a 1-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and connecting with Jones for a 16-yard touchdown pass to begin the second quarter. Jones also caught a touchdown pass from backup Aaron Rodgers later in the quarter.

Meanwhile, backup Seneca Wallace struggled in Hasselbeck's place. Without starting tackles Walter Jones and Sean Locklear, Wallace spent most of the first half on the run.

"We've played well without those guys before," Wallace said. "We just didn't play well. We have no excuses."

Jones is coming off right shoulder surgery and Locklear has a sore right knee.

"It's preseason," Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.

"Sometimes you run into games like that. I don't think the score really tells the whole story about the Seattle Seahawks and it doesn't really tell the whole story about the Green Bay Packers. You have different agendas going on on both sides of the ball."

Packers defensive end Kabeer-Gbaja Biamila sacked Wallace in the second quarter and forced a fumble, allowing linebacker Nick Barnett to recover and run for a 62-yard touchdown. With the extra point, the Packers led 24-3.

The Packers scored another defensive touchdown late in the second quarter when safety Atari Bigby pounced on Wallace and forced a fumble, allowing linebacker Tracy White to pick up the ball and run 34 yards.

Wallace was replaced late in the second quarter by third-stringer David Greene -- who threw three interceptions, including two to Jarrett Bush.

Hasselbeck, who played only one series in the Seahawks' preseason opener against San Diego, had surgery on his non-throwing shoulder in January.

Seahawks running back Shaun Alexander played less than a quarter, carrying only three times for 3 yards. Backup Maurice Morris gained 31 yards on six carries, including a 15-yard touchdown run.

Favre was 7-for-12 for 74 yards and a touchdown.

Jackson, a second-round pick from Nebraska who started in place of injured back Vernand Morency, gained 54 yards rushing on 13 attempts.

Jones, a third-round pick out of San Jose State who is solidifying his spot as the Packers' No. 3 receiver, caught four passes for 58 yards.

"Once you get your first TD here, you have to do a Lambeau leap," Jones said. "It was exciting."

Rodgers, whose development has been one of the most encouraging stories of Packers camp, was 10-for-16 for 97 yards and two touchdowns but fumbled twice.

Notes: Packers defensive end Cullen Jenkins had a sack and two tackles for loss in the first quarter. ...

Bubba Franks, who has been working as the Packers' No. 2 tight end after the worst season of his career, caught four passes for 30 yards. ...

Three Seahawks players were called for holding on a kickoff return late in the second quarter: Michael Boulware, Deon Grant and Omowale Dada. ...

The Packers' usually lethargic return game got a jolt from second-year player Will Blackmon, who ran a kickoff back 83 yards in the first quarter to set up Jackson's touchdown. ...

Packers WR Shaun Bodiford, FB Ryan Powdrell and defensive lineman Michael Montgomery all left the game with medial collateral ligament injuries. McCarthy said all four players would be out "at least a couple weeks."

Quick Take: Packers seize opportunity

NFL.com

It was over when

The Seahawks decided to bench starting quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. Backup Seneca Wallace faced intense pressure and coughed up two fumbles that were returned by the Packers for touchdowns. Green Bay led 38-13 at the half and coasted the rest of the way.

Game balls

The Packers showed faith in wideout James Jones by releasing veteran Robert Ferguson earlier in the week and he responded with two touchdown receptions and four catches overall for 58 yards. For Seattle, defensive end Darryl Tapp had four tackles and a forced fumble.

Key stat

The Seahawks had four turnovers in the first half and it ended any hopes they had for winning the game early.

Noteworthy

Rookie Brandon Jackson carried the ball 13 times for 54 yards and a touchdown as the Packers starter.

[the_idle_threat]

WTF is wrong with Jarrett Bush? He acts like he just locked up the superbowl....gezz. Nice play but leave the dancing to Emmitt Smith.

I agree. That was a pathetic display.

It's all about you, J.B. :roll:
