Official Packers vs. 49ers Game Thread

Then maybe he should have bought more time. Excuses are for losers.

But I thought the reason Favre threw that INT was because Al Harris got torched?

According to M3...he's basically saying tonight was a good experience for the team to learn from and it's up to them to see what they take away from this and how they correct mistakes vs. Denver. I agree 100%

I agree. I am not going to really worry till after next pre-season game. But it was a rude awakening, both for the Packers and me - I just woke and turned on my PC...to this!

Funny note: I am surely happy that it's vs Falcons for the PackerRats game...

There have been a few preseason klunkers like this (and a couple regular season games ). I understand that with key vets out and whatnot there may be some issues **at times**. This noncompetitive crap just blows though.

What I don't get, is if we are not going to even bother trying to run the ball, why change up positions of one of the best pass-blocking units (with BF). And I mentioned Farve as I do expect Rodgers to get smacked around a bit more till he develops a better pocket presence.

Hell put Colledge back at LG and Spitz at RG, call it a day and get back to getting the offense runnning.

MM post game(JSO):

"I think they were more physical than we were," coach Mike McCarthy said. "I need to get that fixed. I did not have the team prepared. We will get that done this week."

I like him...he takes the blame much of the time, deserved or not.

At first I agreed - yet players should be ready; could be sign of trouble that McCarthy takes blame. Still MM is classy and has broad shoulders. Remember - it's been a draining training camp till Lord Favre left. Are we paying the price now? Something tells me we are (gut feeling).

mmmdk, I was wondering the same thing after the game last night. You just wonder how much of a distraction the Favre scenario had overall on the team.

Another thing that is bothering me is our lack of running the ball. I know he wants to get Rodgers as many reps as possible but you can't forget about your run game, either. Since we are passing almost every play, teams know that and can be better prepared with their defense. But..how is he really going to get a good look at the back up RB's? On the same note, I know he needs to look at our back up QB's, too, so I guess it's a wash.

I suppose I need to just stop all the "what if" scenarios and just write this off as a shitty PS game and that we'll bounce back against Denver.

It sure makes this Denver game a lot more meaningful.

Even if it was a regular season game, its just one stinker. Packers had 2 last year and both came against the Bears. Teams all have bad games. It just happens.

[Bretsky]

One thing that gave me a bad case of deja vu was the major miscommunication in the secondary that lead to the 2nd Niner TD. Didn't we have problems with that last year, too? I hope Shott is donating half his paycheck to Woodson and Harris...without them, perhaps he doesn't have a job.

Yikes; sounds like the Sanders Nottenheimer combo was in rare form again

I would rather have McCarthy stand up and take blame instead of Mike Sherman making excuses for everyone.

You have a unique art of thread crapping. Your response has ZERO relevance to what Mike mmm said.

I ask that you no longer respond to my posts and hope that you please respect those wishes. I do not wish to be involved.

How are we supposed to tell the difference between your drunk posts and your ordinary posts?

For those that missed it last night, the game is on right now on NFLN (in HD).
