Official Packers @ Giants Game Thread

[GBRulz]

Yeah I'd like to see him break the TD record THIS year !! but as long as we're winning, I think he could care less how we get our TDs

[FritzDontBlitz]

it would have been nice to see Brett toss one though. He needs to break out of his funk.

brett will get his. what we need is for the young'ns to contribute, and they all did on that td drive.

heck, even brandon is impressing me today.

[Fosco33]

TB is owning the Aints. 136 to 49 in yardage...

[woodbuck27]

Good for Deshawn Wynn.

He's stepping up.

Green Bay Packers at 11:31

GB 7 NYG 0 Plays: 6 Possession: 3:13

First offensive TD of 2007. :)

[Rastak]

Vince Young, nice 21 yard run....

[Lurker64]

Urk... that's never good to see.

[Fosco33]

Woodson sure falls down a lot - did it at least twice last week. Who'd the 'cleat' guy?

[ND72]

our defense is awesome.

[GBRulz]

I thought we drafted a DL first to have a pass rush this year :roll:

[the_idle_threat]

Charles Woodson won't be putting that play on his highlight reel.

Too much time for Eli. TD to Plax. :?

[Fosco33]

:oops:

[Rastak]

That was fast....yikes!

[GBRulz]

well at least it's to my fantasy receiver.

[outflow]

Safety's fault, he had over the top inside.

[Bretsky]

I thought we drafted a DL first to have a pass rush this year :roll:


He's resting his legs in street clothes so he'll be fresh later in the season :lol:

[Fosco33]

Safety's fault, he had over the top inside.

Harris didn't even give him a bump...

[Harlan Huckleby]

just a great play by the giants. shit happens.

[ND72]

That was fast....yikes!


I think they figured out that they can't run the ball that well anymore against us, and they've been throwing it well, so why not toss the ball...

Reminds me of a game I coached in 2002....we're 3 minutes into a High School footballg ame, and our head coach comes on the headphones, "well, I think we're done running the ball."

[FritzDontBlitz]

bigby got caught looking in the backfield too long, he never even saw burress crossing behind him.

rookies.

[Joemailman]

That's 2 weeks in a row that Woodson has given up a play because he slipped. Cornerbacks need to stay on their feet.

[Lurker64]

At the same time, that last Packer drive gave me hope that this offense is capable of scoring multiple touchdowns today, let's hope they do.

[GBRulz]

Is it time for Shot's head on the chopping block again? We had this problem last year of giving up the big plays (early in the season)

[the_idle_threat]

I thought we drafted a DL first to have a pass rush this year :roll:


He's resting his legs in street clothes so he'll be fresh later in the season :lol:

:lol: :lol: :lol:

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[gbgary]

just a perfect throw

[Rastak]

That was fast....yikes!

LOL, gotta love it when a guy knows his limitations.

[mmmdk]

2 plays 66 yards & 7 points. Dang!

[b bulldog]

Shockey one on one against 77, 77 needs to win that battle

[the_idle_threat]

well at least it's to my fantasy receiver.

Me too. I started Plax in two out of three leagues today. :oops:

[GBRulz]

I thought we drafted a DL first to have a pass rush this year :roll:


He's resting his legs in street clothes so he'll be fresh later in the season :lol:

Funny, but not really!!

[outflow]

Safety's fault, he had over the top inside.

Harris didn't even give him a bump...

Your point? Still the safety's responsibility regardless.

[woodbuck27]

That TD reminds me of the early coverage we didn't have last season.

Al Harris didn't get his feet off the ground orhe might have deflected that pass.

Still that was an excellent route by Plaxico Burress and awesome pass by Eli Manning.

[motife]

James Jones is going to be an All-Pro wide receiver.

His ability to focus and catch a football in a crowd is like nothing I've EVER seen.

[Rastak]

Wynn is getting alot of work today....

[the_idle_threat]

Is it time for Shot's head on the chopping block again? We had this problem last year of giving up the big plays (early in the season)

Difference here was that there was pretty tight coverage on Plax in the end zone. It was a good play by the receiver rather than a gimme, from what I saw.

[mmmdk]

just a perfect throw

Yeah, Bigby had him covered.

Manning isn't getting touched...

Hawk, tell me again, was he a 1st rd. pick? I know but I expect WAY more from Hawk - he's been nowhere for 2 weeks.

[GBRulz]

I picked Jax in the survival pool today. That game is making me nervous. They are only up 3-0 against ATL

[Rastak]

James Jones is going to be an All-Pro wide receiver.

His ability to focus and catch a football in a crowd is like nothing I've EVER seen.


He looks great from what I've seen. Check out Sidney Rice is you want to see great hands on a reciever. Jury is out on his route running.


Jones does look good though.

[ND72]

I hate our runnign scheme. It just doesn't make any sense at all, and I'm a huge fan of the zone, but they are not running true zones, or their zone scheme is extremely flawed. they don't get to the LB's at all, which is the entire PURPOSE of the zone. PLUS, the packer coaches talk about the 1 cut .... zones are supposed to be 2 cuts...first cut down hill, 2nd cut back.

[mmmdk]

James Jones is going to be an All-Pro wide receiver.

His ability to focus and catch a football in a crowd is like nothing I've EVER seen.


He looks great from what I've seen. Check out Sidney Rice is you want to see great hands on a reciever. Jury is out on his route running.

Jennings who? Mr. Hammy?


Jones does look good though.

[Fosco33]

Safety's fault, he had over the top inside.

Harris didn't even give him a bump...

Your point? Still the safety's responsibility regardless.

Give Bigby a second to see the play... Harris was effectively not in the play at all.

[woodbuck27]

That TD reminds me of the early coverage we didn't have last season.

Al Harris didn't get his feet off the ground orhe might have deflected that pass.

Still that was an excellent route by Plaxico Burress and awesome pass by Eli Manning.

New York Giants at 08:18

2-M.Crosby kicks 63 yards from GB 30 to NYG 7. 44-A.Bradshaw to NYG 34 for 27 yards (27-W.Blackmon).

1-10-NYG 34 (8:11) 10-E.Manning pass short left to 81-A.Toomer to GB 26 for 40 yards (21-C.Woodson).

1-10-GB 26 (7:27) 10-E.Manning pass deep middle to 17-P.Burress for 26 yards, TOUCHDOWN. Penalty on GB-50-A.Hawk, Illegal Contact, declined.

9-L.Tynes extra point is GOOD, Center-93-J.Alford, Holder-18-J.Feagles.

GB 7 NYG 7 Plays: 2 Possession: 1:02

Quick work there by the Giants offense.

[FritzDontBlitz]

i'm wondering how long the refs are gonna allow plaxico burrus to cherrypick after every play. after every downfield play burrus shows up to cheapshot somebody right after the tackle. :evil:

[Fosco33]

just a perfect throw
Hawk, tell me again, was he a 1st rd. pick? I know but I expect WAY more from Hawk - he's been nowhere for 2 weeks.
Seriously.

[the_idle_threat]

Back took the long route for 4 yards.

[Fosco33]

Let em play.

[the_idle_threat]

Crap call.

[ND72]

I don't understand how WE can get an illegal contact penalty, and the WR is WIDE OPEN....and that is the weakest penalty I've ever seen in my life, that's just bullshit.

[Rastak]

Let em play.


You didn't say that after Martin's defender got a PI call..... :wink:

[FritzDontBlitz]

give me a break. burrus pushes off and they call al harris for illegal contact.

[Fosco33]

Texans are much improved over last year. Tied at Carolina.

Come on Woodson - play like you want to be out there!

[Bretsky]

Terrible call

But WTF

Have we hit Eli Manning the whole frickin da ??

[Fosco33]

Let em play.


You didn't say that after Martin's defender got a PI call..... :wink:

Yeah I did. I said 'interesting call'.

[woodbuck27]

Green Bay Packers at 07:16

9-L.Tynes kicks 58 yards from NYG 30 to GB 12. 42-D.Wynn to GB 27 for 15 yards (44-A.Bradshaw).

1-10-GB 27 (7:10) 42-D.Wynn left tackle to GB 26 for -1 yards (98-F.Robbins).

2-11-GB 26 (6:35) (Shotgun) 4-B.Favre pass short left to 32-B.Jackson to GB 32 for 6 yards (23-C.Webster, 97-M.Kiwanuka).
Timeout #2 by GB at 05:41.

3-5-GB 32 (5:41) (Shotgun) 4-B.Favre pass incomplete short middle to 80-D.Driver.

4-5-GB 32 (5:35) 9-J.Ryan punts 41 yards to NYG 27, Center-60-R.Davis.
25-R.McQuarters to NYG 29 for 2 yards (57-J.Hunter).

Good ST coverage on that punt.

[Fosco33]

Terrible call

But WTF

Have we hit Eli Manning the whole frickin da ??

I think one push - but it was weak. Bring some heat!

[GBRulz]

I think it's time for some blizting. Eli has all day back there.

[Rastak]

Let em play.


You didn't say that after Martin's defender got a PI call..... :wink:

Yeah I did. I said 'interesting call'.


Not exactly the same thing but close enough...I stand corrected!

[Bretsky]

Manning is in a great comfort zone; he kind or reminds me of Bledsoe

You have to pressure him to disrupt his rhythm. We are not

[gbgary]

come on now d!!

[Rastak]

Close game.

[Fosco33]

Nearing 200 yards of O for the Giants today... jeezus.

[motife]

Texans are much improved over last year. Tied at Carolina.

Come on Woodson - play like you want to be out there!

Amobi Okoye is a tremendous pass rusher. He pressures almost every play. Just got a sack on the last play.

[ND72]

Sanders needs to figure something out, cause right now what he's doing isnt' working.

[Fosco33]

Browns up 20-14! Wow.

[Rastak]

Sanders needs to figure something out, cause right now what he's doing isnt' working.


Giant's offense looked good against Dallas.

[Bretsky]

Sanders needs to figure something out, cause right now what he's doing isnt' working.


I said that much of last year until the final four games made him smell like a rose

[the_idle_threat]

Browns up 20-14! Wow.

Was just gonna say this. Did anyone expect Joe Jurevicius to have 2 scores?

[Rastak]

Browns up 20-14! Wow.

Was just gonna say this. Did anyone expect Joe Jurevicius to have 2 scores?


Can't say I did..... :D

[ND72]

I have yet to see a Packer defender anywhere near a person the Giants are throwing to.

[gbgary]

shockey is an idiot

[Rastak]

what happened?

[woodbuck27]

Already the Giants have run up nearly 200 yards of 'O' on our defense
(193 yards)

This isn't loooking good. Manning is killing us through the air.

Manning is 10/15 for 143 yards.

Another miracle in the hat for us? :)

[the_idle_threat]

Fantasy FB "experts" were hyping Cincinnati's DST for a spot start going against the Brownies. I even picked them up in one league, but didn't start 'em. *whew*

[mmmdk]

what happened?

?

[Lurker64]

Thank you for spiking the ball Jeremy Shockey.

Also, I don't understand how those offset exactly, but whatever, I'll take it.

[Fosco33]

Announcers like using 'interesting' for 'bad' call. Should've been a 1st down.

[Rastak]

That is stupid.

[Lurker64]

And Shockey drops another one, which probably would have been a touchdown.

Thank you Shockey!

[GBRulz]

Why was Shockey SO wide open

[motife]

Vonta Leach and Ahman Green.

Texans backfield.

[mmmdk]

Crazy pass by Manny.

[Fosco33]

Why was Shockey SO wide open

With Smith out for the game - all we need to worry about is Shockey and Burress. But Burress is limping.

Giants are injury prone this year.

[the_idle_threat]

Shockey made a deep catch, and spiked the ball in celebration. That's a penalty this year, unless done in the end zone after a TD. Wipes away the catch.

Now he just dropped another bomb at the two yard line. :D :D :D

I know it's killin you in fantasy, but that's on you for starting him. :wink:

[motife]

The offense is going to have to catch fire now.

They're going to have to bail out the D for once.

[Fosco33]

Vonta Leach and Ahman Green.

Texans backfield.


ehhh - makes you sick

[the_idle_threat]

Did they just show Plax limping toward the locker room? Bad for me fantasy wise, but very good for the Pack.

[mmmdk]

Crazy pass by Manny.

...it was in the clouds for ages - Shrek would've made that pass.

[gbgary]

we've had a couple of stupid penalties today

[Rastak]

Shockey made a deep catch, and spiked the ball in celebration. That's a penalty this year, unless done in the end zone after a TD. Wipes away the catch.

Now he just dropped another bomb at the two yard line. :D :D :D

I know it's killin you in fantasy, but that's on you for starting him. :wink:


Fantasy stuff takes a backseat to football stuff every time.

[ND72]

obviously with 1:30 left, we're uninterested in trying

[woodbuck27]

Fantasy FB "experts" were hyping Cincinnati's DST for a spot start going against the Brownies. I even picked them up in one league, but didn't start 'em. *whew*

Clevland 20 - Cincy 14.

Tampa Bay 14 = NO zip

Atlanta 7 - Jacksonville 3

WOW !!

[GBRulz]

well, I wish we would try and at least get some points here.

[Tony Oday]

Our secondary looks like swiss cheese

[Fosco33]

Thanks, Mr. Cole - you owe me 10 laps for stupidity. Instead of needing 30 yards for a FG - the Pack will inevitably punt soon.

[ND72]

we went from dominating.....to being laughable.

[the_idle_threat]

Fantasy FB "experts" were hyping Cincinnati's DST for a spot start going against the Brownies. I even picked them up in one league, but didn't start 'em. *whew*

Clevland 20 - Cincy 14.

Atlanta 7 - Jacksonville 3

WOW !!

Definitely some odd results so far this week! :o

[ND72]

can we have a sense of urgency?

[GBRulz]

uggg, Jax can't lose!!!

[ND72]

knee it...quit trying

Hear! All this fantasy crap during this crappy game is crap.

GB 7 NYG 10 Plays: 8 Possession: 3:46

[Rastak]

Fantastic catch by Reggie Wayne aye yi yi.......Manning is sharp as hell too....

[GBRulz]

can we have a sense of urgency? You mean to actually try and score some points before the half? :?:

[Fosco33]

Is this a 2 min offense?

M3 needs to go back to school.

Apparently, the Shockey spike was the correct call.

[Lurker64]

I'm liking Wynn more and more, he's green but he's got a lot of potential. Glad we didn't cut him, but we're not exactly managing the clock beautifully so far.

[FritzDontBlitz]

Why was Shockey SO wide open

collins was staring in the backfield again. shockey ran right behind him into a vacant middle, its a good thing manning was rolling away from him the entire play. :shock:

[ND72]

another stupid lookign play.

[Fosco33]

knee it...quit trying

Agreed.

[Lurker64]

What the hell was that on 3rd and 3?

[motife]

we went from dominating.....to being laughable.

Ted Thompson and Bob Harlan will be able to turn it around at half time with a few half time reminders to the team and coaches.

I'm still predicting 16 and 0.

[Fosco33]

TB up 21-0?

[the_idle_threat]

Tampa Bay now up 21-0 on New Orleans. Galloway gets his 2nd TD. :shock: :shock: :shock:

[mmmdk]

Wow - that bad Packer OL is no fluke.

[woodbuck27]

Fantastic catch by Reggie Wayne aye yi yi.......Manning is sharp as hell too....

Passing CP/AT YDS TD INT

P. Manning 14/19 191 1 0

[Rastak]

Tampa Bay now up 21-0 on New Orleans. Galloway gets his 2nd TD. :shock: :shock: :shock:


Holy crap! What the hell is going on with the Saints... I thought Peyton was a genius.........maybe not.

[GBRulz]

I don't get what M3 was trying to do on that last drive. Score points, eat up the clock? Whatever it was, it was ugly.

[ND72]

Tampa Bay now up 21-0 on New Orleans. Galloway gets his 2nd TD. :shock: :shock: :shock:


Holy crap! What the hell is going on with the Saints... I thought Peyton was a genius.........maybe not.

It's called the Saints surprised a lot of people last year, and now teams are figuring them out.

[mmmdk]

Tampa Bay now up 21-0 on New Orleans. Galloway gets his 2nd TD. :shock: :shock: :shock:

This is shocking! Then again; Saints were "only" 10-6, won a lot of close ones and they played the Falcons twice / Bucs twice. But this is the Bucs?

[Lurker64]

We played a pretty good first quarter, and a pretty poor second second quarter but we're still in it and we're not down by much. I fully expect very few of our wins this season to be anything near "dominating." If we're going to be a good team, you need to win games that are close like this. This will come down to heart, execution, and halftime adjustments.

[Bub]

it seems like we started out nicely with the run, but went away from it. Does that sound accurate?

[Partial]

who was that number 25 with the catch and spin for the extra yards a few drives back? I was at a restaurant but couldn't see it.

How do they look so far? Anyone give a brief summary of the goods, bads, uglys?

[FritzDontBlitz]

i have had a theory of sorts about manning's play today. i am guessing the shoulder would be ok early and allow him to do well, but as the game wore on it would begin to tighten.

i'm hoping.

burress did limp to the locker room at the 2:00 mark so hopefully that will slow him down some.

i'm hoping woodson mans up and makes a damn tackle soon. toomer posterized him on that one sideline catch-straightarm-run play.

[GBRulz]

Ryan Grant? Our new pick up from the Giants

[woodbuck27]

Well we are still in this game but our OL sucks wind.

We need a stronger center.

Favre can't get set the way our OL isn't getting the job done.

Good news though with the way that RB D.Wynn is playing although the OL isn't giving him any opening. 7 carries for 8 yards. Yikes !! Wynn has 2 receptions for 18 yards. He has a TD, his first in the NFL and as a Packer. :)

Brandon Jackson has gone just over 3 yards a carry. Hahoooo !

[Fosco33]

1st half analysis-

Giants are hurting themselves with stupid penalites, drops and injuries. They're bringing some pressure on D realizing they only have to worry about Driver. If Shockey can catch the ball, we'll have issues without D-line playing better.

Jackson/Wynn combine for 15 carries and 34 yrds (~2 per attempt). Besides one big play to Jones, Packers 'air' attack is non-existent with lots of short passes (essentially runs).

Pretty even game so far. Packers need to get something going on the run game - and at least keep the Giants honest. Favre doesn't play that well from the shotgun - so limit that shit. Defensive secondary needs to keep their assignments. Let's hope Manning gets some pressure and Lorenzen is forced to jump into the fire.

[GBRulz]

I miss Favre, the Gunslinger. I don't like the role he seems to be in as a game manager.

Just saw the replay on that TD pass, that was a nice throw....shoulder looks fine on that play at least.

[outflow]

Simply, to honor ole uncle Cliffy, this team lacks playmakers. Opposing teams don't have any respect for anyone. This just lets them tee off.

[Joemailman]

Packers made some pretty good defensive adjustments at halftime last week. Hopefully they can do it again. If they don't get more pressure on Manning, they will lose this game.

[cheesner]

But I have seen the Saints picked as SB bound by several 'experts'.

[Fosco33]

Somehow Woodson is leading the team with 3 tackles in the game :oops:

[SkinBasket]

It's frustrating to watch our vaunted DL stymied so easily by a bunch of fatties. That and Hawk still looks like he's got his eyes closed on running plays sometimes. Other than that, the rest of the game is pretty much what you'd expect.

[Rastak]

I see some folks picked GB and MN in the survival pool....yikes, gutsy calls there....two road teams with so-so offenses?

[Fosco33]

Simply, to honor ole uncle Cliffy, this team lacks playmakers. Opposing teams don't have any respect for anyone. This just lets them tee off.


Thanks to TT - right B? :lol:

[GBRulz]

best part of the game so far...Brett's Boflex commercial - :lol:

[GBRulz]

nice return

[Lurker64]

Great return by Williams.

[woodbuck27]

Packers made some pretty good defensive adjustments at halftime last week. Hopefully they can do it again. If they don't get more pressure on Manning, they will lose this game.

They have to stick with the run and not panic.

Given the way our OL played in that half that's a tall order.

The secondary has to keep up with the man each DB picks up. We are giving up too much there again.

[the_idle_threat]

Nice spin move by Williams on the return.

[Bretsky]

who was that number 25 with the catch and spin for the extra yards a few drives back? I was at a restaurant but couldn't see it.

How do they look so far? Anyone give a brief summary of the goods, bads, uglys?

That was the new RB we traded a 6th for; Ryan Grant

[the_idle_threat]

1st down to the rookie fullback. It's something.

[the_idle_threat]

1st down to the rookie fullback. It's something.

Ditto.

[Lurker64]

The Boise State Linebacker with 2 catches for first downs. I like Hall.

The Packers running game is fricken pathetic. If the Giants learn to cover the checkdown back, we're done.

[Harlan Huckleby]

hall with the shake & bake

[woodbuck27]

OK one improvement is that already we have picked up our 12th first down after only getting 10 all game Vs. Philly.

[ND72]

once again....I hate our running game.

[Lurker64]

We were running the ball for 3 yards on first down in the first quarter, what happened? Maybe try play action on first down?

18 carries, 35 yards is pretty bad.

[Bretsky]

Simply, to honor ole uncle Cliffy, this team lacks playmakers. Opposing teams don't have any respect for anyone. This just lets them tee off.


Thanks to TT - right B? :lol:


ABSOLUTELY; HE'S HAD THREE YEARS NOW

[outflow]

they seem content with a FG

[Fosco33]

We've run on first down many times this game - Giants have read that well.

[ND72]

Gotta love James JOnes....

[Lurker64]

First and Goal! Jones didn't have to do much for that.

[ND72]

EVERY SINGLE RUNNING PLAY, ONE OF THE DL PLAYERS IS IN THE BACKFIELD. IT'S PISSING ME OFF.

[Fosco33]

Ok, time for Jones to get a TD. I'll take Driver or Franks. Favre needs a TD.

Yet again, on 1st down - the Packers do nothing with the run.

[the_idle_threat]

Nice 3rd down grab by JJ! 1st and goal!

Run for loss, 2nd and goal. :?

[Lurker64]

They had better be setting up the first down play action play.

First and goal on the one!

[Bretsky]

We just can't frickin run

This OL sucks

[Brohm]

Who the hell does not block Strahan?

[Fosco33]

Bad call. Anyone think we can run this in?

[woodbuck27]

There is a big difference if the OL gives some time to Favre.

That pass to Jones was too cool.

Anyone believe that Favre can't still play?

Passing CP/AT YDS TD INT
B. Favre 15/21 181 0 1

[Lurker64]

First and goal on the 1 or 1 1/2 yard line, how many times do they run?

[outflow]

Bad call. Anyone think we can run this in?

No

[Bretsky]

Is anybody even blocking ?

[Freak Out]

Games not on here but judging by the stats our run game is still in exile.

TD!!! THE COUNTDOWN RESUMES.... 6 TO GO FOR BRETT !!!

[Fosco33]

This red zone offense needs to get a lot better.

Thank you Bubba.

[the_idle_threat]

BUBBA EFFIN FRANKS!! I like it.

[Lurker64]

SECOND OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN! FAVRE TO FRANKS!

Just like old times...

[FritzDontBlitz]

YEAH BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and to bubba no less

[Freak Out]

#4.... :worship:

[gbgary]

nice drive with a perfect conclusion.

[Harlan Huckleby]

that was a hell of a pas by farvrah

[Bub]

Bubba who? When's the last time he had one?

[woodbuck27]

HOLY MACKERALLL !

BUBBA !!

TD via the air and Favre can count six more to vault over Dan Marino.

:) X 10.

[Fosco33]

Bubba who? When's the last time he had one?

When was Brett's last TD?

[Rastak]

Colts FG...19-6....

[Lurker64]

Okay, I hope McCarthy starts mixing it up. In the first quarter we were committed to running the ball on first down to set up 2nd and shorter, and we managed that getting like 28 yards on the first 5-6 runs, which is respectible.

Since then, the Giants have been selling out to stop the run on first down, and it's worked for them. Hopefully McCarthy will throw in some screens or play action on first down to take advantage of this.

That being said, I'm happy that the dump off to the fullback is still part of our offense. For a guy who was playing defense last year, Hall looks natural with the ball.

[FritzDontBlitz]

jones has 4 catches for 75 yards. nice tightrope catch-and-run on the last drive.

[Lurker64]

Bishop and Droughns rang each other's bells on that kickoff return, ouch.

[the_idle_threat]

Bubba who? When's the last time he had one?

Week 8 in 2005.

[Joemailman]

Time for the defense to assert himself. Stop them here and we have a chance to start taking control of this game.

[Fosco33]

Bubba who? When's the last time he had one?

When was Brett's last TD?

Was it in SF on 12/10? The one MTP and I saw in person.... wow - been awhile?

[ND72]

Time for the defense to assert himself. Stop them here and we have a chance to start taking control of this game.

There goes that Idea

[Lurker64]

That is not what we needed to see from the defense here.

[Fosco33]

Not the way to start - 26 yard run. Almost as much as the Packers have in the game... :oops:

[Rastak]

Ward - 9 carries 71 yards.....



who the hell is ward by the way.....

[Lurker64]

The tackling today is poor.

[Fosco33]

Where is our pass rush?

[FritzDontBlitz]

20 rushes, 24 passes so far if you add the sack and int.

not bad m3.

[Fosco33]

20 rushes, 24 passes so far if you add the sack and int.

not bad m3.

At least we're trying this week.

[Carolina_Packer]

Ahman Green having a good day, as are the Texans (31-14 to this point after recovering a fumble on a kickoff), and their zone blocking vs. Carolina looks good!

[Fosco33]

Was that even catchable?

[Lurker64]

Come on Al...

[ND72]

ok.....another bad acting my Plax, and he gets the call.

[Rastak]

Harris has a couple today.....

[ND72]

Was that even catchable?


NO

[GBRulz]

This isn't the best day for Al Harris

[FritzDontBlitz]

woodson falls down again.

what the fuck.

play clock runs out, harris gets called for pass interference within 5 yards of the line of scrimmage.

can we get some real refs?

[Fosco33]

Shockey is a bitch. Put a hat on that long haired freak.

[Lurker64]

Good to see them sending Bigby, he has some potential as a blitzer.

[woodbuck27]

Al Harris reminds himself of a man name A.Carroll. :)

[Fosco33]

At least 4 or 5 in 2 games - and there's no rain today.

2 words for Woodson - LONGER CLEATS!

[Fosco33]

Really late blitz by Hawk. Toomer should be fined for that shit - trying to take out Barnett's knees.

[GBRulz]

We deserved that after what Burress has been getting away with

[ND72]

Toomer is gonna lose a couple dollars this week for that cheap shot.

[Lurker64]

Smart penalty there by Toomer...

[the_idle_threat]

Nice pursuit by Jenkins.

[Carolina_Packer]

How about a big apple turnover!

[Fosco33]

Shockey is a bitch. Put a hat on that long haired freak.

Nice....TB scores again....28-0

Golly!

[the_idle_threat]

Agreed. Lots of extracurricular activity in this game. It's about time one of their guys lost his cool and hurt his team.

[Carolina_Packer]

Win for us to give up only a FG

[Fosco33]

Bend but don't break defense.

Plug and play offense.

These games are gonna be really exciting this year. I apologized in advance to my neighbors for early morning screaming (West coast).

[Rastak]

Reggie Wayne limping off the field.....


edit: first pick for manning in 190 passes.....Wayne pulled up lame and the safety grabs it....

[mmmdk]

One point game......this is a close one. I kind of expected it to be.....

Yeah, two teams struggling - Giants overall the most but Packers not elite to put'em away for sure.

[mmmdk]

Reggie Wayne limping off the field.....

Odd shoulder hit to Wayne - looked innocent.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Toomer deserved that flag.

Ya, Barnett pushed him in the back, But then cutting him below the knees is outside the bounds.

[Carolina_Packer]

Plug and play offense.

or is it plug and pray?

[Rastak]

Len Whale White, TD.......

[GBRulz]

A Green has a TD today. Glad to see him doing fairly well in Texas so far.

[Fosco33]

No offensive TDs for the Aints this year.... wow.

Peyton is getting knocked around today. :D

Ahman happy to be back with Mike Sherman. :)

[Carolina_Packer]

Texans are hammering Carolina in Charlotte...that's all I have to watch.

[Fosco33]

I think we're abandoning the run. Not that it is a bad thing.

[Bub]

Carolina is overrated....have been for a few years now.

[Fosco33]

Maybe there's something to my ranking system afterall?

[gbgary]

nice play. come on pack...keep moving!

[GBRulz]

I'm really happy to see the TE's more involved than what they have been in...years?

[mmmdk]

nice play. come on pack...keep moving!

Lee's played good.

[Fosco33]

I'm really happy to see the TE's more involved than what they have been in...years?

Speaking of TE play... another first down.

[Lurker64]

Nice little drive they have going so far. A lot of well executed high percentage plays for 5-7 yards.

[ND72]

I think we're abandoning the run. Not that it is a bad thing.
I'm just waiting to see somethign else out of our zones. Just talked to my college roommate, and he and I both said, we had 2 zone counters, and those were MONEY plays. I have yet to see anything else other than, ok, zone..and the zones arent' all that great yet. and I don't blame RB's or OL, I blame scheme...something is missing.

[Carolina_Packer]

Do they have both TE's?

[Bub]

nice to see 8 receivers catching balls today. It would be nice to connect on a longer pass someday though

[GBRulz]

Do they have both TE's? Yes, Lee and Bubba have both had multiple catches today

[woodbuck27]

Now the OL is looking a lot better.

Favre is using his TE's very well and he has time to get set. What a difference that will make. :)

[Lurker64]

Do they have both TE's?

Both Lee and Franks have played and made catches, yes.

[rdanomly]

Cleveland is up by 10 on the Bengals

[Fosco33]

Carolina is overrated....have been for a few years now.

I had Carolina @ 24 after week 1.

Saints about to score.

[Rastak]

Wayne back in....nice grab. Manning is outstanding for those of you that didn't know that....LOL....

[mmmdk]

Do they have both TE's? Yes, Lee and Bubba have both had multiple catches today

Witten Carved the G-men last week; Favre finding the soft spot on G-men defense.

True that. At least our RBs can catch!
