Official Packers @ Giants Game Thread

[MadtownPacker]

1-0, haven't said that for a while. I can't remember saying the last time it was 2-0 but Im sure it was in the 2000s. I feel that this is a must win game for several reasons. The giants are beat down and ripe for the picking. Regardless of who is the QB the DL should churn out some sacks after several near misses last week against a mobile mcnabb. Then there is the giants defense, possibly just what the doctor ordered for a lost and jumbled Packers offense. Beating a high powered chargers team next week aint gonna be no joke so if the Pack wants to have playoff aspirations they better win the games they are suppose to win.

This is one of them.

[footballfever]

2001 was the last time we started 2-0, we started 3-0 that year. And this Giants game might be a little tougher than we are all hopin, a guy at work is a Giants fan and he says their defense is gettin healthy and they should be better than they were last week. I guess its easy to set the bar on bein better than last week when you were the worst team defensively in the league, but I hope we don't fall asleep on this game. We are banged up offensively and our O line realllllllllly needs to step up. Brandon Jackson is the gamebreaker on this team, we'll see it this week I think. He's decisive and makes the right cuts, there just hasn't been anything there. Don't throw in the towel on this kid just yet.

[RashanGary]

What's up, ff? You coming to moms today? I grew a fu manchu man. You inspired me last week. Michelle wouldn't go anywhere with me :). I'm hoping you still have yours cuz Jackie is coming and it would be funny as hell if we both marched in with 70's mustaches. We'll act like it's normal around here :)

For anyone who doesn't know, ff is my brother :D


And to the point of this game, I think this is as important of a 2nd game win as I remember. Like Mad said, we have SD, CHI, DAL and DEN coming up. We can't afford to drop games like this one. As much as a 2nd game of a season can be a must win, this is a must win.

McCarthy said in his press conference on Thursday that they worked Jennings out Wednesday and they were going to stay off his leg until gameday. They'll get him out, warm him up, and make a decision then.

McCarthy also said he is going back to basics. He said he put too much in last week and he wanted to go back to just excecuting. I'm a big "less is more" guy when it comes to NFL playbooks. You need an identity and a counter when they try to stop your identity. That is enough to keep teams off balance. Too many plays is hard to perfect. That is my opinion anyway. Hopefully the less is more tactic pays off.

[Kiwon]

Go, Pack, Go.....all the way to 2-0! Hey, that rhymes.

[GBRulz]

For anyone who doesn't know, ff is my brother :D



Geez, JH don't embarass the poor kid like that. :lol: j/k

[LL2]

On they way to two and 0, a game the Pack can't blow...ah heck...I can't ryhme like Kiwon. I thought I'd get a post in because once the game starts it's hard for me to keep up with these game day threads and watch at the same time.

[BallHawk]

For anyone who doesn't know, ff is my brother :D

Judging by the post count, is your brother the successful one and you're the disappointment?

:wink:

His reputation just got shot before he even had a chance to earn it :)

[Joemailman]

At the beginning of the year, I felt there were 8 games on the schedule that looked like toss-ups. Last week was one of them, and this is another. I was a little surprised so many people in the Prediction Thread were picking the Giants to hardly score at all. The Giants have some very good weapons in the passing game. The Packers will need to get consistent pressure on the QB, no matter who it is. The Giants do have problems on the defensive side of the ball. Hopefully the Packers OL improves so Favre can take advantage of those weaknesses. I look for Driver to have a big game today, and for James Jones to assert himself, especially on 3rd down.

[gbpackfan]

Morning everyone. Just found this little tid bit of info. on rotoworld.com.

FoxSports.com's John Czarnecki believes Jared Lorenzen will ultimately get the Giants start Sunday.

He also says the reports Manning practiced Friday are "erroneous", yet there were multiple confirmations and Manning is officially listed as having practiced in a limited fashion. Manning is a game time decision.

ESPN indicates Umenyiora will play today. The Manning question is an interesting one. I think he'll play, or at least start.

[SkinBasket]

I have the feeling he's not going to start this one. Seems like his dad would give him a woopin' for putting an already injured arm at risk against what is generally considered one of the better DLs in the game right now. And considering what NY has behind him, I wouldn't think the organization would want to chance anything long-term either.

Don't get me wrong though, I'll be excited as hell to see him out there if he does play. I've despised him since he couldn't bring himself to hold up the SD jersey without that "I just ate shit and didn't really like it," look on his face at the draft. I would love to see our DL flatten him.

[ND72]

Well I'm pumped for the game. I am personally hoping if Eli plays, the Packers severly hurt him. I haven't liked him EVER. He was a 1st round draft pick because of his last name. He wasnt' that good in college, and he's not that good in the pro's. and the fact San Diego is relaly good, makes me enjoy his "don't wanna play there" thing every day. So I'm hoping Jenks & Kampy play Eli sandwich.

Agreed. I don't want Eli severely hurt, like a broken leg or anything, but we better get after that bad shoulder and make it hurt.

[Partial]

Shut up with the injury crap. I hope we beat them and handedly and dominate the game from the start to the finish. That's all.

[BallHawk]

Shut up with the injury crap. I hope we beat them and handedly and dominate the game from the start to the finish. That's all.

If a player is hurting, wherever it be on his body, the defense is going to go after that. If Favre had a bad elbow, I guarantee that the Giants would land on his elbow. I expect our defense to go after Eli's shoulder. That's playing smart football.

[BallHawk]

ESPN is saying that Eli is expecting to start.

[MJZiggy]

And they say women are indecisive...

Giants | E. Manning planning to start Week 2
Sun, 16 Sep 2007 08:24:47 -0700

ESPN's Sal Paolantonio reports New York Giants QB Eli Manning (shoulder) is planning to start the team's Week 2 game.

[Scott Campbell]

And they say women are indecisive...


Are you sure?

[Fritz]

Maybe the giants are a woman...

[Bretsky]

And they say women are indecisive...

They are not indecisve; they consistently never know. And that's decisive :lol:

[packers11]

ahhhhhhhh im so pumped for this game...

lets go... start already!

[gbpackfan]

Greg Jennings is inactive for Sunday's game against the Giants.

per rotoworld.com

[MadtownPacker]

Damn!! Looks like D and ST are gonna have to score again this week. :x

[Rastak]

Damn!! Looks like D and ST are gonna have to score again this week. :x

Who is the number 3 reciever?

[Freak Out]

The defense has a true test against these guys...if they can keep the scoring down and allow the offense to make a few mistakes we have a chance of winning this thing. It would help if they take Eli out in the first series. :twisted:

[Bretsky]

Damn!! Looks like D and ST are gonna have to score again this week. :x

Who is the number 3 reciever?

Ruvell Martin

[Rastak]

Damn!! Looks like D and ST are gonna have to score again this week. :x

Who is the number 3 reciever?

Ruvell Martin

Oh yea, that's right. He isn't a bad #3. Driver, Jones and Martin isn't that bad at all.

[Bretsky]

Martin is barely a notch ahead of Da Fraud IMO :lol:

It's not that great either.

[Rastak]

I thought you guys liked Martin. Driver was great last year, Jones looks very promising. RB is a big question but GB should be ok at WR. If Driver get's hurt, then I'd be worried if I were a Packer fan.

[Scott Campbell]

I thought you guys liked Martin.


Relative to Taco Wallace? Yes. Relative to Reggie Wayne? No.

[Bretsky]

Our offense is in trouble if Driver gets hurt; borderline trouble if Jennings gets hurt.

Ballhawk and a couple others love Martin; I'm not buying in yet

[gbpackfan]

ATTENTION

FOX pregame show to air portion of PATRIOTS SPY TAPE. NEXT!!! The show is in commercial and will come back with a look at the tape.

[Joemailman]

The receivers are good enough if Favre has time to throw, which he didn't last week. It's the Offensive Line, Stupid. (Not referring to anyone in particular).

[gbpackfan]

Wow! Couldn't be more obvious. What a bunch of cheaters. Dirty! Belicheat should have been suspended!

[Bretsky]

IMO it's not all the offensive line; maybe the main factor. But even when Favre had average time to pass last week they were not getting open.

[Rastak]

Inactives per NFL.com





Green Bay Packers
Inactives: RB Vernand Morency, SAF Aaron Rouse, G Tony Moll, G Allen Barbre, WR Greg Jennings, DT Justin Harrell, DT Daniel Muir, DT Mike Montgomery.

Fantasy take: Brandon Jackson will see most of the backfield work with Morency out and is a nice sleeper vs. the Giants. With Jennings out, rookie James Jones is now a viable No. 3 or 4 fantasy wideout.






New York Giants
Inactives: QB Anthony Wright (3rd QB), RB Brandon Jacobs, DB Kevin Dockery, LB Gerris Wilkinson, T Adam Koets, G Kevin Boothe, WR David Tyree, DT Russell Davis.

Fantasy take: Eli Manning (shoulder) is active and will start for the Giants. It appears safe to use him vs. Green Bay. Derrick Ward will start with Jacobs out. Osi Umenyiora is active, but the Giants defense is still not a recommended fantasy unit.

[Rastak]

I see Dwayne Jarrett is inactive again this week. I'm surprised Harrell can't get on the field.

[outflow]

I thought you guys liked Martin. Driver was great last year, Jones looks very promising. RB is a big question but GB should be ok at WR. If Driver get's hurt, then I'd be worried if I were a Packer fan.


I like Martin for what he is. A fourth string receiver. The problem is they don't play him to his strength (height). That is possesion type fade routes either to the sideline for first downs, or in the redzone for touchdowns. With Jennings hurting, this receiving corp is extremely shaky.

The body of work so far suggests the offense is horrendous. Until proven otherwise thats all I have to go by. You won't convince me its average to above.

[Fosco33]

I'd love to see the D play well again and win the turnover battle. But I'd really like to see a better game plan (no bombs on 3rd and 1). I'd like to see a team that gives the running game a chance. I want some offensive TDs.

Let's go PACK.

[Rastak]

Anybody watching the game while following the game thread? All I have is the Colts game here in the Twin Cities.

[Bretsky]

Rastak,

As a Vikings fan you must be thankful TT turned down the Browns offer; I think Cleveland will end up with a top 5 pick in next year's draft. GB might have been able to add McFadden.

Instead you get to chuckle that our stinking first round draft pick stands and watches like Jamal Reynolds and Robert Ferguson used to.

[Lurker64]

It's on in Iowa at least, and the laptop makes it easy to type and watch.

Also, that kickoff looked like it happened in slow motion.

[Bretsky]

I am; so you give us Colt updates and we'll give you Packer updates.

Not really chuckling. I would have been bummed if you guys got a top 5 pick though next year.

Cool, thanks Bretsky. Titans driving.....

[Bretsky]

Roll out; screen to Shockey. 20Yd Play

[Lurker64]

Inauspicious start for the defense here.

[Bretsky]

Derrick Ward-19Yd Carry. Personnell foul GB

Stupid Ass Poppinga

He doesn't make enough plays to be stupid

[GBRulz]

Come on, Poppy we didn't need that

[Fosco33]

Always the retaliation. Nice flop Malone.

[Rastak]

I hate it when guys do that,.....

[Bretsky]

Ward no gain; ball on 20

[Lurker64]

Poppinga was responding to a cheapshot against Hawk, probably understandable. Wish he hadn't drawn the penalty though.

[Bretsky]

3rd and 10; defense needs to get pressure

[Rastak]

Titans go for it...4th and 1.....at midfield.


edit: They weren;t close......Colts get the ball at midfield.

[GBRulz]

I've noticed that all the QB's this year have that green dot on the back of the helmet. What is the reason for that?

[Lurker64]

A 12 foot tall reciever would have had trouble with that one.

[Bretsky]

Pressure; Manning throws up a duck. Field goal will make it 3-0

[GBRulz]

dodged one there!

[Fosco33]

I've noticed that all the QB's this year have that green dot on the back of the helmet. What is the reason for that?


Indicates the one helmet that can have radio communication.

Nice missed FG. :lol:

[gbgary]

all that and they get zip!!

[Lurker64]

I've noticed that all the QB's this year have that green dot on the back of the helmet. What is the reason for that?

It's to indicate which helmet has the radio reciever/transmitter in it. There's restrictions on what plays you can have a radio in and you can't have more than one of them on the field at once, so the green dot is to help the refs keep track.

Also, MISSED IT!

[Bretsky]

Pressure; Manning throws up a duck. Field goal will make it 3-0


I PUT THE WHAMMY ONE ; FIELD GOAL NO GOOD

[Kiwon]

Dodged a bullet. Still no score.

ahh, ok. TY Lurker and Fosco. I had no idea what that was for.

[mmmdk]

If I were a Giants fan; I'd (now) feel sick...but it's Green'nGold I bleed :P

[MadtownPacker]

Other then the first two plays the D shut them down. As long as they dont let the RB Ward tear it up it will be OK.

[Fosco33]

Cincy is about to score. Wonder if Johnson will make it out of the Dawg Pound...

[Lurker64]

Nice run by Jackson.

[ND72]

ok, so the Southwest commerical, where the guys are playing a video game was awesome.

[Fosco33]

Two running plays and a FD... wow.

[GBRulz]

ok, so the Southwest commerical, where the guys are playing a video game was awesome.

Southwest has the best commercials. My fav was 2-3 years ago, the shoe store one.

[ND72]

so the refs are already ticking me off....not only was the hig on Hawk by Burress a late hit, but it was also a block in the back...now Jackson gets his facemask grabbed, and nothing.

[Rastak]

Manning to Harrison ...long pass 1st and goal.


edit: TD Addai,......

[gbgary]

not to jinx anything but we seem to be running well early on.

[Lurker64]

Good burst by Wynn, I much prefer 3rd and 2 to 3rd and 10. I also prefer 1st and 10.

[GBRulz]

sure makes a difference when it's not 3rd and 10.

[Bretsky]

The Stoneless Snappers are up on Reds Raiders 11-0

This Yahoo Stat Tracker is alright

Deshawn Wynn is seeing a lot of action

[Rastak]

Yea, I have a fanball one running and two yahoos for my three teams....

[Fosco33]

Nice little drive here... "I like - it's nice."

[gbgary]

is this a drive we're putting together?? wow!!

[Fosco33]

The quick snap is all we have for the running game.

[Lurker64]

I like McCarthy's play calling so far. 3 yard runs aren't pretty, but 2nd and 7 is a lot easier to convert than 2nd and 10. I hope he keeps it up.

Also, it appears that we're able to run the ball against this team. 5 carries for 27 yards or so?

[Bretsky]

I really like this playcalling by MM

Quick hitters
Quick Snaps

Giants Defense is poor



3rd and short

[Kiwon]

Good drive.

[ND72]

Deshawn Wynn is seeing a lot of action

McCarthy on the pregame show on the radio said Jackson and Wynn would split time today, McCarthy said he thought he wore Jackson out last week and wasnt' able to perform to his premium.

[GBRulz]

I like this, O staying on the field...let's wear down their D and keep ours rested

[Lurker64]

3rd and 1 might be telling, but so far I'm feeling better about both the OL play and the RB situation.

[GBRulz]

OL has stepped it up. I suspect there was an ass chewing or two after last weeks game.

[Rastak]

Time out?

[gbgary]

3rd and 1, how about a quarterback sneak..........we never do that?! lol

[Bretsky]

Time out?


Yup

[ND72]

Plus they didn't say it, but they really did say it on the radio that the injury to Spitz, gives them the opportunity they wanted in getting Coston in at RG.

McCarthy, "obviously we don't want any injuries, but Junius has been playing above and beyond many of our guys right now, so this is his opportunity."

[Lurker64]

Time out?

The Packers radio broadcasters seemed to think it was a play clock/personnel issue.

[Kiwon]

9 plays, 48 yards. Steady as she goes.

Will Brett take a shot into the end zone?

[GBRulz]

go for it !

[Lurker64]

It's on the road, do you go for it?

[ND72]

Wynn slowed himself down at the wrong time, lower your shoulder and get that 2 more feet.

[woodbuck27]

[Rastak]

TD Steve Smith.....

[ND72]

bring back Raynor!

I just threw up....

[Fosco33]

TB is the red zone on Saints.

[the_idle_threat]

We got a break and gave one back.

The late hit on Hawk was cheap and uncalled for, but if he's OK and it helps the defense play angry, then it might have been a blessing in disguise.

OK guys, let's see some ANGRY!!!

[Bretsky]

Our DL does not look dominant today at all

[the_idle_threat]

bring back Raynor! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Fosco33]

Anyone else w/ DirecTV having odd blips of no color... or just me?

[GBRulz]

bring back Raynor!

HA! I was waiting for someone to pipe up about that one. Leave it to you, Blue dog!

defense playing soft; Steve Smith gets the first down

The Giants OL is much better, but who knows.

[mmmdk]

...I spotted that draw

[Fosco33]

Terrible read by Hawk on that run.

[Bretsky]

They pounded Shockey pretty good; love to see those hits

[mmmdk]

good 3rd down D :D

[Fosco33]

Defense holds -- nice. Shockey and Smith got some good hits on 'em.

[Lurker64]

Not that I want to see anybody get hurt, but it's good to see the Packers getting hits on Manning. You don't necessarily want to injure a guy, but you totally want him to be uncomfortable.

[Rastak]

Giants kicker must suck...that would have been a 48 yard kick...not THAT long,,,,

[GBRulz]

wow, TB up 7-0 over NO

[Bretsky]

I think I might get every game right in my $ pick em pool

well, unless the Giants win

[GBRulz]

Giants kicker must suck...that would have been a 48 yard kick...not THAT long,,,,

They said 51 on TV, but I agree....must not have confidence in their kicker.

Uhh...I love those potential long drives. This position battle will define the momentum for either team.

I have to admire the player that tricked Poppinga into a penalty.

First he clips Hawk after the whistle.

then he gets Poppinga to push him. He flys throught the air like superman.

Packers get the penalty.

Brilliant.

[ND72]

I hate the packers "zone"...they don't run it right, nobody ever gets up to a linebacker...drives me nuts.

[GBRulz]

NICE ! TY refs

[Fosco33]

Interesting call. - makeup?

[mmmdk]

Great Call - Ruvell would've had it !

[Rastak]

Car Steve Smith......2 TDS......

[outflow]

This rushing offense is downright garbage. Can't runblock, can't will yourself for a yard.

[Fosco33]

Very fast 1st Q.

[Lurker64]

This dink and dunk stuff is sort of soothing to watch.

[Fosco33]

This dink and dunk stuff is sort of soothing to watch.

Building confidence/cohesion and reading the D for later plays.

[Rastak]

Favre 5/5 with 33 yards.

[the_idle_threat]

Very fast 1st Q.

Agreed. I was surprised to see that it's 1/4 over already.

[The Shadow]

Whoosh!
Pam Oliver must have put on 50 pounds!
She's big as a horse!

[MadtownPacker]

Great Call - Ruvell would've had it !He should have had it anyways. Repay looked like it went between his hands.

[Rastak]

Vince Young with a good pump fake and a 48 yard pickup.....

[the_idle_threat]

Nice to see Favre with a few seconds of time in the pocket.

[Lurker64]

Is Driver hurt or just adjusting his equipment?

[Rastak]

5 quarters with no offensive td's....Packers are doing their best Viking imitation.

:D

[ND72]

I liked our tempo against the Giants more when we were going up to the line of scrimmage and getting the ball off right away.

[woodbuck27]

Nice punt !

[Fosco33]

No love lost here. Bet the Packers remember not going to the playoffs because of these Dwarfs.

[ND72]

5 quarters with no offensive td's....Packers are doing their best Viking imitation.

:D

Or I'm just tormented and they are trying to be like my Fighting Irish :oops:

[the_idle_threat]

Defender was draped all over Driver.

[gbgary]

rough

[Fosco33]

WOOOO

[ND72]

FIRST DOWN

[woodbuck27]

The NFL Game Center seems slow this season after their revision. Maybe it's the puter. :)

[mmmdk]

Whew - this is one ugly game...so far!

[Bretsky]

Personal Foul; Roughing the Punter

1st Down GB

[Rastak]

5 quarters with no offensive td's....Packers are doing their best Viking imitation.

:D

Or I'm just tormented and they are trying to be like my Fighting Irish :oops:


Be glad you aren't a Gophers fan....

[Lurker64]

Always good to see your punters roughed.

[Rastak]

Big break for GB....

[the_idle_threat]

The NFL Game Center seems slow this season after their revision. Maybe it's the puter. :)

I found NFL Gamecenter to be really bad last week. Had better luck with Sportsline.com

[mmmdk]

Whew - this is one ugly game...so far!

Super dumb Pen. by Giants.

[GBRulz]

Jesus H

[gbgary]

damn it

[Bretsky]

DAMMIT

Driver is just dropping TOO MANY balls

Gotta catch the dam ball

[GBRulz]

unusual for DD not to come down with that one

[Lurker64]

Ouch. So it's kind of like a punt...

[Fosco33]

Damnit. I swear almost every Favre INT is a tip/drop by some wideout.

[mmmdk]

Whew - this is one ugly game...so far!

Super dumb Pen. by Giants.

...getting uglier

[woodbuck27]

Dam Favre has bad luck. Another tip and pick. Shoot !! :shock:

[Rastak]

DD's fault?

[mmmdk]

Ouch. So it's kind of like a punt...

This was not on Favre but it's a momentum switcher.

[the_idle_threat]

Really hate those up for grabs interceptions. Favre gets the blame on the score sheet, but what can he do?

[Harlan Huckleby]

DD's fault?

ya

[GBRulz]

DD's fault? Yeah, went right to him

[Fosco33]

Just like last year - bad teams don't capitalize on opportunities. That's at least 6 - maybe 10 points today (net of 3 or 7).

[Lurker64]

Damnit. I swear almost every Favre INT is a tip/drop by some wideout.

When Favre breaks the career interception record, it will be interesting to get a breakdown on all of his INTs, see how many were the receiver's fault.

[GBRulz]

I was really hoping he'd break the TD record before the INT record. He hasn't thrown a TD in what 5 games now?

[Rastak]

3 yards in a cloud of dust game it seems....

[Rastak]

I was really hoping he'd break the TD record before the INT record. He hasn't thrown a TD in what 5 games now?


OUCH.

[Lurker64]

Good to see Shockey drop that one.

[the_idle_threat]

I really don't like Shockey, so I really like seeing a big drop like that.

[Harlan Huckleby]

GREAT play by Bigby
quick hands

[mmmdk]

FOX is spotlighting that # 275 int. - soon to catch Blanda.

[GBRulz]

Poppy shouldn't have let up on that, would have been a blocked punt

[Rastak]

I really don't like Shockey, so I really like seeing a big drop like that.


I don't he's starting on two of my three teams!


He is a dick though....

[Bretsky]

Good to see Shockey drop that one.

It looked like Atari knocked it away

[Harlan Huckleby]

Blanda played 26 years.
Amazing.

[Fosco33]

Nice play by Bigby on Shockey's missed opp. At least the D is continuing to play well.

[Rastak]

Colts driving....up 6-3....

[Fosco33]

I hate saying this... but with the Giants blitzing - Favre needs to get knocked down a few times -- he always responds in kind.

[gbgary]

yes

[woodbuck27]

Dam Favre has bad luck. Another tip and pick. Shoot !! :shock:

Green Bay Packers at 01:37

1-10-GB 5 (1:37) 42-D.Wynn left guard to GB 5 for no gain (58-A.Pierce).

2-10-GB 5 (1:01) 4-B.Favre pass incomplete deep left to 82-R.Martin. PENALTY on NYG-23-C.Webster, Defensive Pass Interference, 22 yards, enforced at GB 5 - No Play.

2-5-GB 32 (:20) 4-B.Favre pass short left to 89-J.Jones to GB 39 for 7 yards (37-J.Butler).

END QUARTER 1

2nd Quarter expand

Green Bay Packers continues ...

That pick leaves Favre only two picks short of George Blanda's record at 247, I think.

Blanda was in the NFL 23 years.

[Lurker64]

Ugly miscommunication between Clifton and College, but gorgeous Favre-Jones hookup.

[mmmdk]

Blanda played 26 years.
Amazing.

yeah - amazing.

...please spotlight Bigby too.


NB - our OL still looks bad.

[GBRulz]

Perfect throw to JJ!! Nice to see something deep like that.

[Fosco33]

Come on Brett - was that the perfect time to hold that for play action...

[outflow]

Yeah, it floated though :wink:

[Fosco33]

Perfect throw to JJ!! Nice to see something deep like that.

Perfect pass

[gbgary]

very nice

[mmmdk]

Perfect throw to JJ!! Nice to see something deep like that.

I'm not kidding - he looks a wee bit like Sterling Sharpe. JJ is GOOD!

[Lurker64]

Screen pass! First and goal! Grant looked good on that.

[GBRulz]

Nice screen to Grant. Come on guys... TD here !!!

[Bretsky]

RYAN GRANT

GREAT PLAY

[woodbuck27]

Ugly miscommunication between Clifton and College, but gorgeous Favre-Jones hookup.

Yes it was. :)

[gbgary]

come on now.......let's get a td

[Bretsky]

2nd and goal at the five

How about a Favre to Driver TD

[Fosco33]

Thank you Giants - maybe we found another nobody RB... hmm 8-)

[mmmdk]

RYAN GRANT

GREAT PLAY

I'd pay a 5th pick for this guy :lol:

[outflow]

I wouldn't say it was a perfect pass, floated a bit.

[gbgary]

YES

[Bub]

TB up big now.

[rdanomly]

TOUCHDOWN!!

[Lurker64]

OFFENSIVE TOUCHDOWN! Nice shotgun draw and nice running by Wynn, he made a great cut.

[Fosco33]

I'm going to Vegas - at the 'Wynn' - placing some money on that kid!

[Bretsky]

Nice Fake by Favre

TD D Wynn

[GBRulz]

YEAH TD !!!!!!

http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e189/gbrulz/72295778.jpg

[Harlan Huckleby]

packers have an excess of good backs. They should trade one.

[Lurker64]

packers have an excess of good backs. They should trade one.

LOL!

[mmmdk]

A running TD - NICE!

[woodbuck27]

Nice three and out for the Packer 'D'.

Good stuff there. :)

[ND72]

Finally the Offensive TD monkey is off my back for one of my teams.

[Bretsky]

TB up big now.


WOW; Saints worst nightmare is happening today

[Bub]

Cleveland is up too

[mmmdk]

packers have an excess of good backs. They should trade one.

LOL!

Harlan, the only at PR with truely funny bones.

[the_idle_threat]

A six yard touchdown run is very nice for a lot of reasons.

[FritzDontBlitz]

i am very impressed with m3's playcalling and offense rotation right now. he's using everybody. the only person on offense that hasn't had at least one catch or run is bubba.

excellent drive

[Bub]

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

[woodbuck27]

Good for Deshawn Wynn.

He's stepping up.

[Fosco33]

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

Word

[RashanGary]

WOW, good game.. . .

OK, back to family and football.
