Official Chargers @ Packers Game Thread

[swede]

Our coaching might be good enough after all.

I've been a doubter in recent weeks.

[gbgary]

glad that ref ducked his head. he may have had a mouth full. lol

I don't get it.

of football!! did you see the replay?

[woodbuck27]

Fosco33 can we count to two?

2-5 SD5 (2:52) (Shotgun) B.Favre pass short middle to B.Franks for 5 yards, TOUCHDOWN.

Way to go BUBBA! :worship: :worship:

GO PACKERS!

[cheesner]

They get the call, and #4 wastes no time converting.

Wow is Bubba ever back.
Bubba also dropped a TD earlier

[swede]

The refs are patting their asses telling them to keep their heads up. These refs are really concerning me.

Are they San Francisco refs? :shock:

[Fosco33]

Taken off the field -- Calvin Johnson leaving for xrays on his back - Kittys are getting killed.

[swede]

glad that ref ducked his head. he may have had a mouth full. lol

I don't get it.

of football!! did you see the replay?

Now I get it!

[Iron Mike]

I wanna see a live shot of Dan Marino tearing up at the thought that his record might fall TODAY!!!! 8-)

[Fosco33]

The Eagles uniforms are terrible - the TV color blurs the player names. Funny shit.

[Guiness]

A stop here would be huge.

I know there's a lot of football left to play today, but what the heck would the national writers say about the Pack if they got a win here? Especially if they put 20+ points on the boards?

[mmmdk]

Gates is unbelievable, almost impossible to cover. Packers D doing the best to contain TD but Gates is tough.

[Fosco33]

I wanna see a live shot of Dan Marino tearing up at the thought that his record might fall TODAY!!!! 8-)

He did in the interview with Brett this morning on TV.

[gbgary]

35-14 philly........i think detroit's bubble has burst

[MadtownPacker]

TD # 419....more to come TODAY!He is gonna have to throw another TD and at that point no one will want him to break it next week at MN.

[mmmdk]

The Eagles uniforms are terrible - the TV color blurs the player names. Funny shit.

I think the Eagles look funny! A lot of fun!

[Lurker64]

Bubba also dropped a TD earlier

He was out of position, it would have been a really touch catch. Still, I wish he would have made it.

[the_idle_threat]

Nice hard tackle by Harris, but still a first down catch.

[swede]

Damn prevent zone.

[the_idle_threat]

Bolts driving hard in the 2 minute drill.

[Fosco33]

The Eagles uniforms are terrible - the TV color blurs the player names. Funny shit.

I think the Eagles look funny! A lot of fun!

Helmets remind me of Lego's. And a mix of old Charger and Ram combos. I think there is iridescent in the color - funny is right.

[gbgary]

we need an INT here!!!

[mmmdk]

9 catches by Gates :shock: Rivers Flawless. Damn!

[the_idle_threat]

Awful call. Bogus facemask call. Nobody touched his facemask at all.

[Lurker64]

Well, the offense is going to need to keep scoring points here to win the game. Not good execution on the 2 minute defense though.

[RashanGary]

That was the softest, most predictable defense I've ever seen. Get some F-ing aggression!!

[Packnut]

Damn, D really let us all down.

[Fosco33]

That sucked. Defense is on the field to start the half too - but what did you expect. Can't give up only 13 points every game....

[the_idle_threat]

Touchdown pass to Craig Davis.

I had Rivers slated as a weak spot on the team, but he's what ... 16/16 for close to 200 yards and 2 tds? :shock:

[jklowan]

this is why this team scares me our defense can't come up with a stop when they need it

[jklowan]

kitna just scored a td

[Carolina_Packer]

Touchdown pass to Craig Davis.

I had Rivers slated as a weak spot on the team, but he's what ... 16/16 for close to 200 yards and 2 tds? :shock:

Yeah, I benched Rivers on my fantasy team and put in Jeff Garcia...so far, a bad move.

[woodbuck27]

I wonder if Favre takes a shot?

PICK!!?

[Lurker64]

this is why this team scares me our defense can't come up with a stop when they need it

There aren't a lot of "must stop" situations when you have a 10 point lead, to be fair.

[jklowan]

i would say it's a must stop to send them into half time reeling

[the_idle_threat]

Ugly series there. Good time for the half.

[Carolina_Packer]

Good job, Ryan.

[Fosco33]

Nice punt by your boy, Ryan, Ed.

[mmmdk]

awesome punt - good to see!

[the_idle_threat]

Nice punt by Ryan. They take a knee. Halftime.

[woodbuck27]

I wonder if Favre takes a shot?

PICK!!?

Nope. GOOD!

Favre is playing rightly conservative.

Wondering about Ryan's punt now. :)

[RashanGary]

If you are killing a team and they need 3 scores in 6 minutes, I can understadn prevetn. If they need 2 scores in 2 minutes I can understand.

What I don't understand is when 1 score makes it a close game in the 1st half and you sit back and let them pick you appart. The defense knows what is coming. They should have the advantage. I don't understand why defenses get predictable and let the offense call the shots.

[OS PA]

Ugly series there. Good time for the half.

Ugly Defensive series, not a terrible Offense, McCarthy just lined them up hoping he could get a receiver behind the San Diego D.

[Carolina_Packer]

Big stop to open the 2nd half for our D!

[b bulldog]

Dline is getting no pressure!

[OS PA]

I'm off to a bar to watch the 2nd half, good luck everyone, this should be a shootout.

[Carolina_Packer]

Ugly series there. Good time for the half.

Ugly Defensive series, not a terrible Offense, McCarthy just lined them up hoping he could get a receiver behind the San Diego D.

That was a give-up, conservative series.

[woodbuck27]

I wonder if Favre takes a shot?

PICK!!?

Nope. GOOD!

Favre is playing rightly conservative.

Wondering about Ryan's punt now. :)

How's that punt Harvey? Inside the 20 and long with great coverage.

Good ST's.

[b bulldog]

That first drive in the second half will set the tone for the rest of the game.

[the_idle_threat]

Punt was angled to the sideline and bounced out of bounds at the thirteen yard line. Pinned them deep, and they didn't even try to take a shot. They took a knee and we go to the half.

[MadtownPacker]

Big stop to open the 2nd half for our D!I wonder if the D was too cold on that last series. Seems like they hadnt been on the field for a whole.

[b bulldog]

brett is playing great

[b bulldog]

Hopefully we can get someone within three steps of Gates on passing downs

[Fosco33]

Westbrook scored another TD - on a 43 yd run.

[Rastak]

Philly puts up point #42.....In THE FIRST HALF!

[the_idle_threat]

Dline is getting no pressure! This could be said about both teams. Packers have one sack though, and they have none. 8-) (*knock on wood*)

[b bulldog]

The only thing is is that our WR's are having a much more difficult time getting open then theirs are

[KYPack]

Keep the info comin' Kids.

LT just broke his leg!

Guess I'll consider the source.

is this great, er what?!?

[MJZiggy]

Dline is getting no pressure! This could be said about both teams. Packers have one sack though, and they have none. 8-) (*knock on wood*)

We almost had two. Rivers was a little hesitant after that sack. I like it.

[Bretsky]

Touchdown pass to Craig Davis.

I had Rivers slated as a weak spot on the team, but he's what ... 16/16 for close to 200 yards and 2 tds? :shock:


Rivers is a very solid QB; always has a high completion % and rarely throws the INT.

[b bulldog]

If we don't get closer to Rivers, Gates will have 250 yards recieving

[Packnut]

As good as MM is calling the offense, Sanders is horrible and getting schooled by the Charger's O.

[Lurker64]

The only thing is is that our WR's are having a much more difficult time getting open then theirs are

By which you mean "Gates has an easier time getting open than our WRs", right? Out of Rivers's 16 completions, 9 have gone to Gates.

[mmmdk]

Philly puts up point #42.....In THE FIRST HALF!

Eagles deserves a win in those clown outfits - man it's fun to look at ! :lol:

[cheesner]

As good as MM is calling the offense, Sanders is horrible and getting schooled by the Charger's O.
For the most part the D has done well. They didn't do much on that last drive, but overall the game is going well. They are containing LT and that is a full time job right there.

[RashanGary]

The only thing is is that our WR's are having a much more difficult time getting open then theirs are

We played prevent defense with 2:30 to go. That is insane. Have you ever seen an offense that couldn't score on prevent defense? It happens every time. 9 plays, 80 yards in 2 minutes with dinks and dunks. The coaches get all of the blame on that last drive. Inexcusable nut shrinkage IMO.

Great coaches strangle teams in that position. Our defense got predictable and gave up dinks and dunks.

[Bretsky]

Touchdown pass to Craig Davis.

I had Rivers slated as a weak spot on the team, but he's what ... 16/16 for close to 200 yards and 2 tds? :shock:

Yeah, I benched Rivers on my fantasy team and put in Jeff Garcia...so far, a bad move.



:cnf: :cnf:

[Bretsky]

brett is playing great


Where did Bulldog go ? :lol:

[Terry]

We're looking good, only had to punt once in the half. Still, I think we should have four scores now. Defense showing up well, except on that last scoring drive. SD sounded scary good on that drive. Were we playing prevent (god, I hate prevent defenses, prevent nothing) on that drive? I'm glad we're moving the ball, but it's making me nervous. I guess we all are these days. A couple of close calls on potential turnovers.

Still, who'd a thunk it? That is, that we'd go into the halftime not only ahead but with 17 points. I hope our D comes out fired up and strangles them. Can Rivers keep it up? I will be surprised. I think we can. I'm waiting for something that shakes up their offense. Hoping.

Can't get the game on sopcast, stuck with the radio stream. Still, quite exciting!! Oh man, the tension!!!

[Rastak]

brett is playing great


Where did Bulldog go ? :lol:

But he's no Brady!


:lol:

[Lurker64]

Well, we won every other game this season with strong second half performances. All is not lost, especially when you consider that we're winning.

[Bretsky]

Nice to see Allen Rossum returning a 98 yarder for a TD
He was still one of my favorite Packers in his short time here

[Rastak]

3rd and 11, Vikes give to Adrian Peterson.....12 yard gain....

[b bulldog]

Brett had a drop by bubba but he also had an easy pic dropped, I'm back!

[Terry]

We played prevent defense with 2:30 to go. That is insane. Have you ever seen an offense that couldn't score on prevent defense? It happens every time. 9 plays, 80 yards in 2 minutes with dinks and dunks. The coaches get all of the blame on that last drive. Inexcusable nut shrinkage IMO.

Great coaches strangle teams in that position. Our defense got predictable and gave up dinks and dunks.
Yeah, agreed, absolutely! So bloody mindless!

[Brainerd]

If Philly really sucks as the pundits have told us what does the current score say about the other undefeated NFC North team?

[woodbuck27]

Passing Yards to end of first half.

** 1 D. McNabb, PHI, 332
2 J. Kitna, DET, 270

3 B. Favre, GB, 185

4 S. McNair, BAL, 164
5 P. Rivers, SD, 159

McNabb is going nuts!

Where are the secondaries on both teams?

Kevin Curtis is having a career day:

Receiving Yards

1 K. Curtis, PHI, 205

2 R. Williams, DET, 167

3 B. Westbrook, PHI, 98

4 A. Gates, SD, 91

5 A. Boldin, ARI, 69

[PackerBlues]

The Packers have been a better team in the 2'nd half for quite a while now. Adjustments are going to be made. This game is the Packers!!!!

[Bretsky]

3rd and 11, Vikes give to Adrian Peterson.....12 yard gain....

Keep his ass going; I already have 51 pts and I'm only up by 10 points

[b bulldog]

Nick, you talk all you want about the prevent but Rivers has one incompletion and they aren't using LT no where near enough yet.

[woodbuck27]

Nice to see Allen Rossum returning a 98 yarder for a TD
He was still one of my favorite Packers in his short time here

Some ole fella's die hard B. :)

[the_idle_threat]

Another outstanding kickoff nine yards deep in the end zone.

[Brainerd]

The Packers have been a better team in the 2'nd half for quite a while now. Adjustments are going to be made. This game is the Packers!!!!

We can hope. 2 more to 200.

[Rastak]

3rd and 11, Vikes give to Adrian Peterson.....12 yard gain....

Keep his ass going; I already have 51 pts and I'm only up by 10 points

He's getting hit pretty hard though.....

[woodbuck27]

Nick, you talk all you want about the prevent but Rivers has one incompletion and they aren't using LT no where near enough yet.

The betting spread on SD is -4.5.

It has to come fr. our 'D' in the second half.

[Bretsky]

They sure are picking on Jarrett Bush today

[woodbuck27]

Another outstanding kickoff nine yards deep in the end zone.

Mason Crosby = Strong leg. :)

[Carolina_Packer]

They sure are picking on Jarrett Bush today

To be expected!

[Bretsky]

MARK BULGER

12 for 17
73 Yards
2 Interceptions

[Lurker64]

I hope Jenkins is all right. It's good to see him walking off the field, but it's important for our Run D for him to be in there.

[mmmdk]

They sure are picking on Jarrett Bush today

Yup but Bush, on last play, couldn't do much more. That was a "filmroom" play.

[Bretsky]

Unbelievable catch by Gates

Not too many TE's in the NFL catch that ball.

[the_idle_threat]

Another outstanding kickoff nine yards deep in the end zone.

Mason Crosby = Strong leg. :)

I'm not used to seeing it after all those years of Shortwell.

[Carolina_Packer]

Somebody hurt Gates!

[mmmdk]

They sure are picking on Jarrett Bush today

Yup but Bush, on last play, couldn't do much more. That was a "filmroom" play.

I think it's more a lack of constant pressure of Rivers.

[Bretsky]

Somebody hurt Gates!

I have him on too many fantasy teams :lol:

[woodbuck27]

GO PACKERS !

[the_idle_threat]

1st down by Tomlinson, but nice hard tackle by Atari.

Nice incomplete pass bounced off the LT's facemask on the previous play, though. :lol:

[cheesner]

Okay. We are due for a INT.

[Lurker64]

Defense is on its heels. They missed on too many chances to get a stop on 3rd down.

[Bretsky]

Dammit D; step up your game

You are the strength !

[Bretsky]

Nick Collins injured; can't lose him

[Carolina_Packer]

Ah geez! Get up Nick!

[Lurker64]

Uh oh, Collins is down. Anybody see what happened?

[Packnut]

It's shocking our D look's this bad. Hawk is non-existent out there. :cry:

[the_idle_threat]

Nick Collins hurt on the last play. :?

[Brohm]

D can't cover/make a play on shit today.

[Carolina_Packer]

It's shocking our D look's this bad. Hawk is non-existent out there. :cry:

They are being pretty methodical on offense.

[the_idle_threat]

Crap. 21 yard pass to LT for touchdown.

[DannoMac21]

God Damnit

[Lurker64]

Well, we're going to need to score some more points in this one.

[the_idle_threat]

Time for the "O" to get it going again.

[jklowan]

this defense is all smoke and mirrors

[jklowan]

a dominant d gets a stop once and awhile

[Lurker64]

I'm also not sure how much of this is "our defense is playing poorly" and how much of this is "the Chargers offense has gotten out of their slump and are finally executing."

Against Chicago and New England, Rivers was not playing this well.

[Rastak]

Where did JH go?

[PackerBlues]

With 11 freakin D-linemen, ya would think that they would be wearing out SanDiego's O-line by now. Our secondary is getting schooled.

[woodbuck27]

Now let's see what our 'D' has.

21-17 Chargers early in the second half.

GO PACK GO !

[b bulldog]

No pressure=no win

[mmmdk]

this defense is all smoke and mirrors

Chargers O is awesome but I agree that Packers D hasn't shown much. Well, the D-line has been average but LBs are overmatched. DBs looks lost.

[Bretsky]

Important that the offense gets it going so the D can hopefully regroup

The Chargers have one of the better offenses; we are suppose to have one of the better defenses.

Time to step up our intensity to match theirs

[jklowan]

our d is nowhere as good as chicago or new england

by a long ways

[woodbuck27]

No pressure=no win

Is our LB and/or DL getting any penetration Bulldog?

[Lurker64]

Anyway, why so down? 22 days ago, how many of us would actually expect us to be this close in this game?

Last year when we played teams that were supposed to beat us (on paper), we looked terrible. This year, playing a team that's supposed to beat us (on paper), we look competitive.

[the_idle_threat]

And this game's not yet over folks.

[jklowan]

I'm not down just sick of hearing the hype, my eyes don't lie

this defense is just average

[Rastak]

And this game's not yet over folks.

Bingo....

[jklowan]

This season is again going to come down to Brett

[woodbuck27]

Anyway, why so down? 22 days ago, how many of us would actually expect us to be this close in this game?

Last year when we played teams that were supposed to beat us (on paper), we looked terrible. This year, playing a team that's supposed to beat us (on paper), we look competitive.

The game is on and we're not out of it yet.

[Packers4Glory]

great 3 and out just what we didn't need. soon to be another long SD drive against this defense that looks clueless.

[the_idle_threat]

Outstanding punt, out of bounds at the 11.

[Brainerd]

Last 2 SD drives

9 plays, 80 yards in 2:16
12 plays, 80 yards in 5:58

[Carolina_Packer]

We'll see how good a game coach MM is (and his defensive staff)

[Lurker64]

Good defenses have bad days. I mean, the Bears gave up 30+ points to the Bucs last year. What's important is that the rest of the team plays well to make up for it.

[Bretsky]

3rd and 1
those type of situations were near automatic with AG

[Packnut]

First terrible play call. If you can't get a yard running on 3rd and 1, then you ain't gonna win.........

[PackerBlues]

WTF is up with all this passing shit on 3'rd and 1, and 3'rd and 2????? Its like admitting that they cannot run the ball. :evil:

[Brohm]

Being able to run the ball on 3rd and 1 is going to be huge for this offense...someday :roll:

[RashanGary]

Very disappointing. We're still in it but we need a stop and a good drive soon or it will start to look very bad.

[Bretsky]

We're in this; lets have a good rest of the journey through this game

[Rastak]

Rayner with the FG,,,,,Vikes 10 KC 6.

[woodbuck27]

Harvey:

The Canadian punter is doing better this week.

Punting NO AVG I20 LG

J. Ryan 2 49 2 54

[Brainerd]

WTF is up with all this passing shit on 3'rd and 1, and 3'rd and 2????? Its like admitting that they cannot run the ball. :evil:

The Packers are very self-aware.

[RashanGary]

Passing is OK if they are lining up for the run, but you don't empty the backfield. That makes it predictable.

[Lurker64]

Realistically, I think they could have gotten the 3rd and 1 with how they've run the ball so far. I think that 3rd and 1 play was just MM being cute.

[mmmdk]

We'll see how good a game coach MM is (and his defensive staff)

I agree - McCarthy has been getting a lot of PR praise for 2nd half adjustments...not from me though !

[jklowan]

I want this team to win more than anyone but we have a long way to go talent wise... we are just not equal to the good teams in the league

[the_idle_threat]

Nice fill by Barnett for no gain. Collins is back too.

[Packers4Glory]

this fucking team couldn't cover a bunch of HS players.

[Lurker64]

Less zone, more man. That play is always open in the zone.

[Deputy Nutz]

this is bullshit. 3rd and 1 and we don't run the ball, this team needs to build momentum and we can't do shit.

Can't stop Philip Rivers on defense. Piss away a ten point lead.

[Deputy Nutz]

Our Linebackers are shit.

[mmmdk]

Hawk getting killed today...by SD FB too.

[the_idle_threat]

Chargers' receivers are making some ridiculous catches though too. That last catch was no gimme.

[Lurker64]

Let's just keep in mind that the Chargers are a good team with good players on every side of the ball that everybody knew had underperformed the first couple of weeks. Because they can do some things against our guys, does not mean that our guys are terrible. They get paid to play the game too, you know.

[Deputy Nutz]

Hawk is just running underneath every block and he can't locate the ball for shit.

[jklowan]

we finally got a stop

[Bretsky]

this is bullshit. 3rd and 1 and we don't run the ball, this team needs to build momentum and we can't do shit.

Can't stop Philip Rivers on defense. Piss away a ten point lead.


We can't run on a decent DL. I'm not sure if I'd run on 3rd and one either. Now I would have a back back there as a decoy. But we pass to set up the run. I can't blame MM for that one too much.

[Deputy Nutz]

Jared Bush is playing like absolute shit. Under aggressive, not jumping routes when he has help. Get Blackmon in there or at least someone that has some balls.

[the_idle_threat]

The catch by the rookie Floyd on an earlier drive was absolutely ridiculous and lucky too. The receivers are making Rivers look better than he is today. If the Packers' receivers were this "on" today, then Favre would have 100 more yards and that touchdown to Franks.

[Packers4Glory]

well it would be nice to see some runs on 3rd and 1 and see if our paid guys can sometimes beat their paid guys.

[Brainerd]

Good News. The D stopped them.

[RashanGary]

This is the 3rd game that Hawk has been underwealming. Barnett looks great again. I think Hawk is better, but it's sure not looking that way by the beginnign part of this season.

[Carolina_Packer]

Let's just keep in mind that the Chargers are a good team with good players on every side of the ball that everybody knew had underperformed the first couple of weeks. Because they can do some things against our guys, does not mean that our guys are terrible. They get paid to play the game too, you know.

Does it feel like we are loading up on the run so much that we are getting tricked on the pass plays?

[PackerBlues]

I think Thompson should trade Hawk for a new waterboy, he is fricken lost out there.

[Lurker64]

I don't understand why all you guys are panicking. There's a lot of football left to play, and we're still in this game. Relax.

[Packers4Glory]

Good News. The D stopped them. bad news we start from the 12

[jklowan]

I am not panicing just frustrated

[RashanGary]

These anouncers need to remove their mouths from the Chargers knobs.

[gbgary]

the D is tired. we need a long drive for a score.

[Packers4Glory]

I don't understand why all you guys are panicking. There's a lot of football left to play, and we're still in this game. Relax.
because we basically can't stop them on offense. the defense is only going to wear down as the game moves on. not much be optimistic about now. that drive at the end of the half sealed it.

[Brainerd]

Good News. The D stopped them. bad news we start from the 12
Good News. Favre with 2 completions for 32 yards. :D

[Lurker64]

Honestly, I'm a lot more enthused by "we can move the ball and score points on this defense" than I am deflated by "our defense is not as invincible as some might have thought." Good teams can score points on good defenses. The mark of a good defense is that it keeps the offense in the game, which it has done.

[mmmdk]

Favre & receivers are only guys playing at Chargers level plus Jenkins.

[Carolina_Packer]

It's been a pretty clean game from a turnover and penalty standpoint.

[Bretsky]

We should not be frustrated yet

If anybody expected this to be a sure thing or an easy win they were nuts.

If anybody expected our defense to dominate an offense led by Rivers, LT, and Gates they were nuts IMO as well.

This game was going to be a struggle; hopefully we come out ahead after 4 quarters

[Packers4Glory]

Good News. The D stopped them. bad news we start from the 12
Good News. Favre with 2 completions for 32 yards. :D bad news..packers unveil run and shoot offense

[Brainerd]

Good News. The D stopped them. bad news we start from the 12
Good News. Favre with 2 completions for 32 yards. :D bad news..packers unveil run and shoot offense
bah. no pleasing you. oh well.

[jklowan]

This game was going to be a struggle; hopefully we come out ahead after 4 quarters


well said...i guess i was hoping for more from the pack

[jklowan]

our offense looks good

[Packers4Glory]

goddamn the 3rd down play calling sucks balls.

beautiful.

[DannoMac21]

What the fuck was that

[Bretsky]

3rd and 12

Now that play call was absolute shit

[Deputy Nutz]

Clifton has had a good day, but what is he doing not blocking anyone on Favre's sack? He is just dancing around when he could have helped on Olaschansky or Phillips.

[jklowan]

wait i might want to take that back

[mmmdk]

Ya think Chargers D coordinator is having trouble guessing whether Packers run or pass?

[Lurker64]

If you listen to the national media coverage, you'll notice that they're impressed that San Diego is executing better in every aspect of the game than they have in the previous two games. For one thing, they're covering a hell of a lot better than they did against New England.

[RashanGary]

Well said, B.

We're in it. We need a stop here. Keeping our defense off the field for a couple minutes was a must in that situation. Now we need another defensive stop and we have a good shot at thsi game.

[Packers4Glory]

Ya think Chargers D coordinator is having trouble guessing whether Packers run or pass?

pack doing a great job mixing it up w/ their new run and shoot offense.

[jklowan]

the packers recievers are not in the same league as new england, that makes coverage a little easier

[mmmdk]

We should not be frustrated yet

If anybody expected this to be a sure thing or an easy win they were nuts.

If anybody expected our defense to dominate an offense led by Rivers, LT, and Gates they were nuts IMO as well.

I predicted a SD win but the game is on; hence I ALWAYS WANT A WIN! :pack:

[Packers4Glory]

pray for a TO and someone makes a play.

[Lurker64]

They key for the defense here is to stop stop them early. This Chargers team is a lot easier to stop on the first 3rd down of a drive than on the 5th.

[b bulldog]

Our O is far from what the Pats have on O, that might help the Chargers a tad.

[mmmdk]

Well said, B.

We're in it. We need a stop here. Keeping our defense off the field for a couple minutes was a must in that situation. Now we need another defensive stop and we have a good shot at thsi game.

True.

[Carolina_Packer]

Seems like the Chargers pull 3rd down conversions from their arse, while the Packers 3rd down chances are just for shit.

[Deputy Nutz]

Here is another stat for you, the Packers are not the Patriots.

Oh gosh we're agreeing. What is the world becoming :lol:

[Terry]

Let's just keep in mind that the Chargers are a good team with good players on every side of the ball that everybody knew had underperformed the first couple of weeks. Because they can do some things against our guys, does not mean that our guys are terrible. They get paid to play the game too, you know.

Absolutely! We're just frustrated because we went up by ten and then gave the lead back. For a moment, we saw a great upset and now we're pissed off at the thought of losing - honestly, if we started out behind and stayed behind, we wouldn't be half so frustrated. Have we all forgotten how much we wanted a game in which we at least 'stayed in' the game? Well, let's see how it plays out.

But we have to stop them here, on this drive, lol.

[b bulldog]

Turnover is what is needed and maybe a defensive score but I'm afraid it will be LT and Gates from here on out.

[Lurker64]

I think this might be the key stat of the game.

prolly something to do w/ play calling.

I wouldn't be surprised if it had a little something to do with talent on the offensive side of the ball, you know?

[cheesner]

Okay, INT now!

yeah LT prolly turns that 3 and 12 shovel pass into a first down.

[rdanomly]

Sounds like they are playing the run a little better

[jklowan]

are we going to get 2 stops in a row!!!

[Lurker64]

Shame we couldn't have fallen on that, but I'll take the sack on 3rd down.

[cheesner]

i'll take a fumble.

[RashanGary]

FIANIALLY!!

[jklowan]

aaaaghhhhhh get on that balll

nice stop though

[Bretsky]

Danget; recovering that fumble was what we needed

Jenkins hurt again

[Packers4Glory]

aohhhhhhhhhhhhahdfhdsl;kfds!!!!!!!!!!!!

they had a shot at TO. damn it!!!!!!!!!!!! :x

[b bulldog]

Pressure...finally

[Brainerd]

cool.

[RashanGary]

Shit, Jenkins is pretty valualbe to this team.

[gbgary]

we needed that stand by the D but the fumble recovery would have been a nice cheery on top

[b bulldog]

Jenks better rub some dirt on it :)

[jklowan]

we should get good field position on this

[cheesner]

We needed to slow Rivers down a bit with some hits on him - knock him out of his rithym.

[mmmdk]

had to pee...how bad is Jenkins hurt? Say it ain't so!?

[b bulldog]

It would be nice if Woody actually stopped dancing and ran up field for once

[Brainerd]

ST TD time

[Bretsky]

got back to 30; decent return

[jklowan]

yes give us a td

[Brainerd]

33 passes, 8 runs

[Bretsky]

REMEMBER when Patler stated DD had the most yards after catch in 2006 ?

We're finding out why today; nice run and play DD

[Brando19]

Cmon Pack...put 7 on the board!

[mmmdk]

how is that not a flag on DD????

[jklowan]

that makes 9

[Rastak]

Wow, Dwayne Bowe is the SHITZ.....

[gbgary]

driver acts like his knee is hurt

[Lurker64]

Does anybody else find it at least a little comforting that we're able to get those 3 yard runs here and there? We were actually running the ball reasonably well before Favre got hot in the second quarter throwing the ball.

[b bulldog]

DD leg injury

[b bulldog]

Keep Wynn in the game, a cheerleader could tackle Jackson

[Bretsky]

33 passes, 8 runs


Maybe about 5 too many; with our weak OL and SD's strong DL, we're not going to be effective on the run. A strong coach will realize that and call plays accordingly. MM is trying to do with NE did and expose their weakness........instead of putting up our weakness against their strength

[Brando19]

is driver hurt? NOOOOOOO
ishe out?

[Carolina_Packer]

Wow, Dwayne Bowe is the SHITZ.....

And that's good, right? Because I'm not feeling so well after a few brats.

[jklowan]

no info on driver, wait back in the game

[Lurker64]

Driver's back in the game.

[Rastak]

Wow, Dwayne Bowe is the SHITZ.....

And that's good, right? Because I'm not feeling so well after a few brats.

Yea, he looks good.

[jklowan]

brett is having a really good game

[Rastak]

KC 13-10 over Vikes....Vikes driving....

[Lurker64]

Now, Mike McCarty almost certainly knows more about football than I do, but what's with the empty ba ck sets on 2nd and 3rd and short? Don't you want to be able to dump it off to a fullback emptying out of the backfield, or something?

[jklowan]

yes first down

[Carolina_Packer]

Wow, Dwayne Bowe is the SHITZ.....

And that's good, right? Because I'm not feeling so well after a few brats.

Yea, he looks good.

Thanks, I'm middle aged, fo shizzle.

[gbgary]

[Brando19]

[cheesner]

[Lurker64]

Phew, that was nice work by Favre...
