Wildcard Weekend Game Thread - updated title

[Partial]

I am about to head down to the basement with the nice tv, a blanket, a pillow, some diet mountain dew, and some chips and salsa. I'm ready for the football.

[gbgary]

i'm right there with ya brotha...except no blanket, it's 70 here today...dang, and it's diet coke and a pizza hut supreme. :D

[Bretsky]

Good game ahead; Portis needs to have a big game

Seattle is a VERY dangerous team in the playoffs.

Go Skins !!!!

[BallHawk]

Seattle is a VERY dangerous team in the playoffs.

Seattle poses a bigger threat to us than Dallas, IMO.

[BallHawk]

Partial, Diet Mountain Dew tastes nothing like regular Mountain Dew. Can't drink it myself.

Hasselbeck looks sharp so far.

[BallHawk]

Great punt.

[Rastak]

Seattle looks tough. They usually are at home at least.

[Partial]

Alrighty, I went upstairs and grabbed the eee pc. As you can see, I am typing on it fairly well these days considering I am laying in the dark typing this out.

Alexander is not the same player that he was two years ago. Not even close!

[Bretsky]

Seattle looks tough. They usually are at home at least.


They rarely lose at home
Great coach and stellar QB make them dangerous to any team in the NFC

[Partial]

I cannot help but think that Washington has a little divine help from above, though. I think they'll win.

[Partial]

Where is the holding call on that play? Two Redskins were literally being mugged and tackled to the ground. Both were within reach of the player.

[Rastak]

I cannot help but think that Washington has a little divine help from above, though. I think they'll win.

I don't.....Vikings choked and Cowboys didn't care. Hawks are a better team than the Skins I think.

[RashanGary]

Quite a few good Vikings in the playoffs. Just none of them are still playing for the Vikings :shock:

[Partial]

That stadium seems pretty rowdy. Seattle looks pretty good defensively. I am not too sure I would want to play them.

[Partial]

Nice stop by the Skins. I bet they take advantage of it right here.

[Partial]

Wow, that is some solid punting today. Two punts downed deep in Skins territory today. This one on the 2.

[Rastak]

Good call on the running into the kicker.

[Partial]

If I had a Santana Moss on my team, I would find more creative ways of getting the ball in his hands. Seattle with an encroachment penalty after pinning them at the 2. Go Skins!!

[Partial]

Qwest field is pretty cool looking. You know what else is pretty cool looking. That movie Cloverfield. I have high hopes for it. I am typing like an animal on this mini-computer now and am beginning to warm up to it. Definitely quite a bit different of a notebook experience, but it seems to be working a lot better for me today.

[Rastak]

Looks like a fumble to me...picked it off his hand before the arm went forward.

[gbgary]

arm was going forward.

[Rastak]

arm was going forward.


No way. The reverse angle showed it clearly.....I mean really clearly....

[Scott Campbell]

If I had a Santana Moss on my team, I would find more creative ways of getting the ball in his hands.



I'd start by teaching him to catch the damned ball.

[Partial]

Seattle's pass rush is menacing. Will we be able to contain it if we play them? I am not confident that we will be able to.

[Partial]

Big time play by the Skins. Nice job getting the first down.

[packers11]

Randle El seems like the only person that can catch a ball...

[Partial]

This is turning out to be a pretty big time drive for the Skins. I never thought Portis was a very good player. My opinion really hasn't changed much today.

[Pacopete4]

redskins oline is just terrible...

[Rastak]

This is turning out to be a pretty big time drive for the Skins. I never thought Portis was a very good player. My opinion really hasn't changed much today.


Petered out pretty fast actually.

[Partial]

What was Collins doing when he walked away from the snap??

[packers11]

redskins oline is just terrible...

And somehow they countered dallas's massive d-line ...

Redskins don't scare me , neither does Seattle...

[Rastak]

What was Collins doing when he walked away from the snap??


Calling a time out.

[Rastak]

redskins oline is just terrible...

And somehow they countered dallas's massive d-line ...

Redskins don't scare me , neither does Seattle...

That's cause you don't have to play them...... :wink:

[Rastak]

Hasselbeck is a bit on and off today...he hit a few nice ones and then missed some open guys.

[packers11]

Haha Ras... You know what I meant...

Boy do the Skins need to start getting their act together and start putting some points up...

[Pacopete4]

todd collins is the shit.. but he needs to learn to step up in the pocket.. my god

[Rastak]

Fumble!


Who has it?


Wow, Hasselbeck really needs to tuck that thing....

[Partial]

Man, they just do not look on their game today.

[packers11]

three passes in a row... bad play calling... its still early in the game, they should establish the run a bit :!:

[Rastak]

Hawks are getting a little conservative.

[Rastak]

Skins need to finish this drive off.

[Rastak]

Hmmm, dangerous to go for it........

edit: Kinda dumb.....Seattle scores they are sunk.

[Rastak]

This game has gotten really sloppy. Hawks better watch out....with some adjustments the Skins may very well pull this off.

[Fosco33]

Favre-arian

huh?

Thanks, Chris.... um Cris

[gbgary]

Favre-arian

huh?

Thanks, Chris.... um Cris

websters...favrearian-one of any unorthodox, unexplained, unnatural throws made by the great Brett Favre of GreenBay Packers fame circa 1991-2010.

[Tarlam!]

Hi Gang,

just thought I'd chime in...I don't wanna face that Seahawk blitz next week. Especially with our guards half-sucking.

Washington to win, anyone?

[Partial]

Tonights game is going to be a doozy. Go Jags!!!

[Partial]

Hi Gang,

just thought I'd chime in...I don't wanna face that Seahawk blitz next week. Especially with our guards half-sucking.

Washington to win, anyone?

Here here!

[GrnBay007]

Nice piece on Garrard.

Hi Tarlam

[gbgary]

Hi Gang,

just thought I'd chime in...I don't wanna face that Seahawk blitz next week. Especially with our guards half-sucking.

Washington to win, anyone?

get used to the idea cuz it'll happen early and often no matter who we play and it won't be the guards fault.

[GrnBay007]

Hope Washington gets a little fire this half.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think Packer fans are squirming a little bit this evening. Patrick Kerney is a monster.

[Partial]

This isn't a very entertaining game. Tonight's should be better.

Let's hope the Skins get it together right now and punch it in for a TD!!

[]{ilr]3]

I cannot help but think that Washington has a little divine help from above, though. I think they'll win.

Washington receivers seems to be betting on that as well because they didnt come prepared to catch footballs. :?

[Rastak]

Bad scheme on that on for the Skins.......Collins is getting pounded.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Guess we'll see the Walrus in Lambeau next week.

[Pacopete4]

touchdown and this ones over

[GBRulz]

Guess we'll see the Walrus in Lambeau next week.

But will they score? :twisted:

[Harlan Huckleby]

I don't mind that the Packers face Seattle so much. But I thought if Washington won, they might be able to topple Dallas, since they are division rivals and always play each other tough. I doubt that the Giants or the Bucs can beat Dallas.

[Rastak]

ooooooo, that was a helluva catch by Cooley.......

[Rastak]

CLEAR pass interfearence.....

[Partial]

Gutsy call going for it there. Let's hope they get some momentum rolling and can put some points up here.

[Partial]

About to become a 6 point game!

[Pacopete4]

about to become a 1 point game... go washington!

[Partial]

Here we go! Great pick by Landry!!!

[GrnBay007]

Wow, what a turnaround by Washington!!

[Pacopete4]

todd collins is now my favorite player other than the packer players

[Partial]

Go washington go!!!!!!

[Rastak]

I saw this coming at halftime....Seattle got really sloppy in the second quarter.

[gbgary]

cowboy fans are shittin bricks right now. :D

[Pacopete4]

rastak... i think the vikes should make a push to get todd collins for next year, hes the 2nd best in the league behind favre

[Freak Out]

If the Hawks blow this I'll be forced to put two of my friends on suicide watch.

[Pacopete4]

wowowowowowowowwowoooWOWOWOWWOW!!!!

[Rastak]

HA Ha HA! Check that out!

[outflow]

Oh wow! :twisted:

[Pacopete4]

that was just... crazy

[GrnBay007]

LOL wow!!

How RED is Holmgren's face? :shock: He's gotta be SO pissed

[Partial]

A little help from up above..

[Pacopete4]

how accurate is collins? really? wow..

[outflow]

Again, why can't you advance that?

[Partial]

Its gonna be 21-13.

[Pacopete4]

hey collinsworth.. do u watch the game? hes getting more time cuz they are able to run the ball better which makes them able to play action fake... which means more time for collins to throw... god i hate him

[gbgary]

shouldn't they have reviewed that? i don't think anyone touched it. you can advance an on-sides kick...which is what that amounts to.

[GrnBay007]

Took till the 4th Q but it turned into an exciting game!

[outflow]

there is no reason in this green earth you shouldn't be able to advance a ball like that. The rule defies logic.

[Pacopete4]

momentum changer

[Partial]

OMFG!

[Rastak]

A little help from up above..

Did the guy above change his mind? FG wide......

[Fosco33]

I wonder why rules about returning missed FGs and fair catching a kickoff with the opportunity for a free kick FG exist - IF - you can't return those kinda balls (same for onside).

[GrnBay007]

A little help from up above..

Did the guy above change his mind? FG wide......

He just wants to make it a lil more exciting. :wink:

[Rastak]

Skins bringing the house....Hasselbeck making them pay.

[Pacopete4]

he probably was watchin something else cuz he thought washington would put it in the endzone

[Pacopete4]

landry.... youre good

[GrnBay007]

LOL another Pick!!

[Partial]

A little help from up above..

Did the guy above change his mind? FG wide......

They'll win, no worries.

[Rastak]

he probably was watchin something else cuz he thought washington would put it in the endzone


I'm guessing that HE has better things to do than football ALL the time.

[Fosco33]

Feels like Skins want it more.

I think they have the best shot of WSH, TB, NYG to knock off Dallas.

I'd also rather play TB or NY over SEA.

Let's go Skins!

[Pacopete4]

there is no god

[Partial]

Alright Skins, lets suffocate them now with a long drive down the field and put 7 points up.

[GrnBay007]

he probably was watchin something else cuz he thought washington would put it in the endzone


I'm guessing that HE has better things to do than football ALL the time.

Not now......this is the Playoffs!!!!! Some have their priorities straight. :P

[Fosco33]

How many 1st and 14 plays have you seen?

[Rastak]

Nice defense by Trufant. Hawks should get good field position.

[Pacopete4]

do either of these teams wanna win? ha

[Partial]

Alright, lets get another big play and swing the momentum back.

[Rastak]

This has turned into a decent but very sloppy game.

[Rastak]

Pushoff by Burleson.

[Partial]

Damnit! Touchdowns birds. Skins down by 6, lets march down the field and put them away once and for all.

[Rastak]

Seattle has a decent recieving corps.

[GBRulz]

wow, Holmgren is getting gutsy

[Pacopete4]

will this turn into the todd collins show?.. stay tuned

[Rastak]

Damnit! Touchdowns birds. Skins down by 6, lets march down the field and put them away once and for all.

Might be 7.

[Partial]

damnit, those foos went for two. I guess it was the logical decision to make because even if they kicked for one or missed for two they would still lose when Washington scores here.

[Partial]

I don't want to play the birds!!

[GBRulz]

I don't want to play the birds!!

We won't...the skins will come back to win this !!

[Rastak]

I don't want to play the birds!!


Have no fear, you won't be. :wink:

Packers most likely will....... :lol:

[gbgary]

block in the back

[Rastak]

Nice field position.



What a terrible pass!

[Partial]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Pacopete4]

collins... really?

[GBRulz]

hmmm, nm. I guess the Walrus is coming to town !!

[motife]

We're playing Seattle.

[gbgary]

done!!

[Partial]

Wow wow wow, how the momentum changed in 5 minutes!

[Pacopete4]

damn thats too bad.. i wanted washington to at least keep winning cuz they deserve it but oh well.. go pack

[Rastak]

Wow wow wow, how the momentum changed in 5 minutes!


The better team doesn't always win but more often than not.

[Partial]

Well, here is hoping that Todd Collins has a little comeback kid in him.

[Rastak]

Well, here is hoping that Todd Collins has a little comeback kid in him.

Too demoralized now.....

[Fosco33]

Well, here is hoping that Todd Collins has a little comeback kid in him.

Gross :lol:

[Partial]

Come on Collins.. Get this done!

[Fosco33]

Here is a head-head (SEA v GB) by Foxsports:

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/headToHeadTeamResults?statsId1=26&statsId2=9&

[Rastak]

Jax - Steelers game should rock..........hey, I'm all fired up....Gophers got the #2 duel threat high school qb in the country (per rivals) today!

A little off topic.......

[Partial]

That was a hell of a grab

[Rastak]

That was a hell of a grab

Indeed.

[GBRulz]

well, the game was exciting for a little while at least.

Bring on Walrus & Co !!

[Partial]

I think thats the ball game. God Damnit! Looks like we're playing the birds.

[Rastak]

That should do it.

[Partial]

The Holmgren-Favre match-up will be nauseating by the end of the week :lol:

[Rastak]

I think thats the ball game. God Damnit! Looks like we're playing the birds.

Why are you so worried about the SeaHawks? Green Bay's been playing pretty well too ya know.

[gbgary]

GO AL!!!! TD!!!! PACKERS WIN!!!!

[Scott Campbell]

Boy did Santana Moss have an awful game.

[Partial]

I think thats the ball game. God Damnit! Looks like we're playing the birds.

Why are you so worried about the SeaHawks? Green Bay's been playing pretty well too ya know.

Seattle can get a lot of pressure. They have a coach who knows Favre very well. That is going to be a tough, tough game. I would much rather play the Giants or Tampa!!

[RashanGary]

Seattle deserved that one.

They played a pretty good game. They have the 19th ranked pass defense. I don't think noodle arm Collins was the best guy to take advantage of their weakness on defense.

[RashanGary]

I don't see Kerney having quite as effective of a day on Tauscher as he had on that rookie right tackle.

[Scott Campbell]

I think thats the ball game. God Damnit! Looks like we're playing the birds.

at this time of year everyone can give pressure. on offense seattle is one dimensional...all pass. their d has given up some big yards today. we'll be fine if Brett has time to do his magic.

[mmmdk]

Seattle has some advantage in preparation as they know who they'll face if they won - which they did - namely the Packers. I rank Seattle the worst foe for Packers but that's the divisional opponant. Holmgren vs Favre...I hate that matchup! I did predict a Seattle win so I'm not surprised.

[RashanGary]

Seattle was clearly playing inside leverage on the outside recievers knowing Collins didn't have the arm to take advantage. They dared Collins to throw the deep outs and Collins couldn't do it.

[alquaal]

GO PACK GO :pack:

two totally different teams. their's no comparison.

[RashanGary]

We match up pretty well on them. Our Corners vs their only real weapons (WR's). Tausch vs Kerney. Favre vs the #19 pass defense.


Seattle is a very good team. They're probably better against teams that don't pass as well as our team.

[GBRulz]

I would love to be in the stands next week hearing the chant "we want the ball and we're gonna score"

[HarveyWallbangers]

Bad news. The team I didn't want to play. It's pretty much a tossup. Seattle has a lot of talent--especially on defense. They aren't going to be awed by playing at Lambeau in a playoff game. I'm sure they have a chip on their shoulder--feeling they are overlooked. Didn't want this matchup. Brett's going to have to play his best ball to beat this team. I believe in him. Let's get it done.

GO PACK GO :pack:

The difference is the Packers had no defense in 2003. I think Seattle will have a tough time moving the ball. Shaun Alexander looks finished, and the Packer CB's match up well with the Seattle WR's. My only concern right now is the health of the Packer Guards.

pittsburg fumble

It was close.......

[gbgary]

yup...knee down

[Rastak]

Nice drive by the Steelers.

[RashanGary]

Henderson goes down. That's a big injury.

[Rastak]

Fantastic return.....great moves, great downfield blocking.

[RashanGary]

Pittsburgh has the right idea mostly passing. With Henderson down now, I think you start pounding it a little.

[gbgary]

damn! garrard has some guns for qb.

[Partial]

I am taping the game and switching to the debate. I think Romney, Guiliani, Huckabee and McCain did well in the republican one.

It will be interesting to see how the dem one goes.

[packers11]

Big Ben with the first interception of the night... Brought back for 6...

[Rastak]

Steelers looking like crap.

[packers11]

Big Ben... 2nd INT in a row... Again to mathis

[Bretsky]

I don't want to play the birds!!

We won't...the skins will come back to win this !!


Wishful thinking

Next week is a scary game

It s a scary game, but we can do it.

[packers11]

21-7 Jags...

Jones Drew and Taylor are a nice 1-2 punch!

Have no fear HW; I'll be there to bring home a win

Actually I'm terrified too. If not GB or Dallas, Seattle is the one NFC team who has the talent to make the Super Bowl

[packers11]

Steelers losing yards... This game could get out of hand quickly...

[Rastak]

Steelers are getting manhandled.

[gbgary]

Steelers looking like crap.

right...they haven't looked good for several weeks.

[Rastak]

Steelers looking like crap.

right...they haven't looked good for several weeks.

True, but at home, in the playoffs? I thought the Jags had a shot but not quite like this.

[packers11]

By the way, with all the posting about the Hawks... I don't see them a big of a threat as you all do... They are to one dimensional in my book, they have no running game...

Unless they have receivers like Moss and Welker, that running game will kill them in the end...

When you have two lockdown corners shutting down the outside, and a tight end that can't spread the field... You have to rely on that running game...

Skins defense has played very well the last few weeks. Smoot played out of his head tonight and the Seahawks still moved the ball. I like Green Bay in the game but I think it will be very close.

[packers11]

Missed FG ...

The steelers need to put up points right now if they want to be in the game in the 2nd half...

[packers11]

Big Ben picked off... again...

3rd time in half :shock:

[gbgary]

steelers will win this game

it's gonna take 3 tds........i don't think it's gonna happen.

[RIPackerFan]

I would be nervous if I were the Pats.

The Jags are a tough hitting team - weather in Foxboro should be freezing with rain/snow - could change though. If the weather is bad enough, it could negate some of the pass offense of the Pats and I think the Jags win a slugfest - they are beating the heck out of the Pitt recievers.

Even if the weather is not bad enough, I have a feeling they are going to be pretty black and blue the next week. The Jags can hit!

3 picks thrown by Big Ben, 1 by Garrard, 2 by Hasselbeck, 2 by Collins. Lots of interceptions. We've seen four solid defensive teams today.

Yea, no kidding. Very solid.

[gbgary]

steelers will win this game

it's gonna take 3 tds........i don't think it's gonna happen.

well hell.......you may be right. they have two. :shock:

[Partial]

Hell of a play by Ward. Personally, I would have snuck it in behind Faneca with Big Ben.

Dumb move to go for it again by the coach. If they score another touchdown and extra point, they're only up by 2. They should have kicked after the holding penalty.

Bingo. Rookie head coach.

Totally agree.


Helluva choke job happening here by the Jags though.

Don't these people have advisors in the booth to tell them this stuff?

It's the head coaches call......going for it is stupid. Even if Williams screwed it up.

This last one I mean....as well as the first one.

[Rastak]

Wow, LAME.


Ward had Williams face mask......terrible non call.

[Lurker64]

That was a really shitty call on fourth and one. No way that's defensive interference. That was offensive interference and a fifteen yard facemask.

[gbgary]

wow..........whodathunkit?!!

[MJZiggy]

This thing sounds like it's turning into a game...

[RashanGary]

Jacksonvilles defense reminds me of our defense. They're very vanilla. They have good players, but as soon as the line is knicked up a little, they can't do much because they depend so much on that pressure.

They're warn out at this point too. They need to have a nice drive here. Even if it's only a field goal, they need to take a little bit of time to rest the defense and get a few yards. It's going to be tough with the crowd at this point. Wow, Pittsburgh really showed up to play.

[HarveyWallbangers]

That missed face-mask call reminds me of all the calls that the Steelers got in the Super Bowl against the Seahawks--when the refs really helped them out.

[RashanGary]

I like Ward a lot.

[RashanGary]

MIssing Henderson and STroud hurts.

[Rastak]

Garrard hangs on too the ball to long....he does make his share of plays though.

[RashanGary]

Damn, this thing looks about over. Jax is exhausted on D.

[RashanGary]

IF they get a chance for a punt return, I think they should stick Jones Drew back there. Then on offense, they should try to get him the ball. You just don't get the feeling Garrard is going to get this thing done. It's Drew, Taylor or nobody.

[Rastak]

GREAT field position. They have a real shot here.

[Lurker64]

Since they get the ball on the 50, Jacksonville can basically run their normal offense here. With one time out, the two minute warning and 2:38 to go.

[Rastak]

They will most likely lose their last timeout....I don't know....pretty risky.

[RashanGary]

Nothing is going in Jax favor here. I have NO confidence in Garrard. NONE.


There really isn't much you can do when you can't trust your QB to pass the ball.

[Partial]

I don't think they should have challenged that. Then again, they do have time and a short field. But still, you want that timeout.

[Partial]

Lets go jags!! Give it to MJD!!!!!

[Partial]

NBC has had a fine presentation today for their games. I am pretty impressed. Today turned out to be a great day.

[Rastak]

How friggen stupid is that? Run the play before the 2:00 minute warning......



maybe Del Rio wants to burn all the clock he can and kick a FG......why else would he burn a TO on a questionable timeout with only one left and then not run another play.

[Partial]

I think that is what he wants to do Ras, but it is bad coaching because this 3rd and 2 is no guarantee.

I'm not sure whether I take it easy and let the kicker kick for the win or if I try to score a TD and force Pitt to do the same.

BIG play on 4th and 2 coming up here. Go to MJD or Tayylor!!

[gbgary]

gotta go for it

[Lurker64]

Jacksonville really doesn't have WRs...

[RashanGary]

GARRARD

I hate you but I love you too :) :)

[Lurker64]

Hell of a play by Garrard.

[Rastak]

Wow, Gaarard sure does make plays.......

[gbgary]

i think he made it.

[Partial]

Wow, that was money right there. Now you hope to run the clock down and kick the field goal. It is about a 38 yard attempt if they're on the 20.

[RashanGary]

Look at the size of those hams. Big dude.

[Rastak]

Run the ball run the ball run the ball.

[Lurker64]

Jacksonville needs to run three times, try to get the first down, or the touchdown. They're a running team, they can score by running three times.

[Partial]

I like Leftwich but he would have gotten brought down for the sack :D

[gbgary]

how could that guy come through unblocked like that?

[Partial]

In case anyone is wondering, this is the playoff game with the highest total weight between the two quarterbacks ever. The only time it'll ever be broke is if Pillsbury throwboy and Big Ben line-up against eachother.

[RashanGary]

I would not want to be that FG kicker right now.

[Partial]

This is going to be heart-breaking if he misses the kick.

[Partial]

Alrighty, here comes the kick. Giving Pitt 32ish seconds after the kickoff seems risky to me. But, its better than going for it here.

[gbgary]

scobee do it.

[RashanGary]

I hope Seattle has those Pittsburgh looks on their faces next Saturday.

[Partial]

Whooo, those kicks are always so dramatic. So many things could potentially go wrong!!!

[Partial]

Does the big boy have it in him? This could be interesting!

[Partial]

Pooper should have just gone down. Wasted 5 seconds.

[Rastak]

Game Set Match......adios Steelers.

[Partial]

Dagger. I bet NE is praying that the Titans show up to play tomorrow.

I'm guessing they could care less.....they got some serious swagger.
