Official "Packers -vs- Lions" week 2 game thread

[HarveyWallbangers]

Longwell missed a FG earlier or they would be in OT. That's just too bad

At least, Longwell missed from 40. Didn't Vinatieri miss one from 30 yards? Must have been lots of wind in Minnesota today.

The FF owners of Packer D are happy today!

Yes, I am. Of course, in one money league I have them. In the other, I'm playing against them. It's okay since I'm crushing the guy anyways.

Damnit, I didn't start Green Bay..I started Chicago..They were good for me last week.

Aaron Rodgers did his part as my quarterback though

I'm playing against the GB defense! Unless Romo gets me like 40 pts, I have no chance this week! However, my benched players are doing extremely well

By my math, Rodgers finished with a QB rating of 116.99561403508774. So let's call it 117.

but thats misleading. He was utterly dominant in the first half, and a combination of bad play calling and bad decisions and a bad defense let Detroit almost pull it out. Fortunately, he had a come from behind win to cap off his day. I'll take that from him.

I am really mad TT let Ryan go. That new Punter nearly lost us the game.

Did you actually watch the game? There were like 7 dropped passes.

Yeah, I did watch the game. The passes weren't great. Especially the third down ones deep to Jennings and on the cross to Jackson. Both were behind the receiver.

He played a very, very good game. But let's not preemptively crown his ass.

The Jackson one? Are you serious? All of those dropped passes hit the receivers in their hands. They weren't perfect, sure, but receivers are paid to make catches like that.

Its becuase it wasn't Favre throwing passes. Rodgers throws them = his fault. Favre throwws them = recievers fault.

Anyone who continues to ruin this game thread is gonna find themselves on the wrong end of the fence.

[RashanGary]

Rodgers has had a great start to the season. He's among the top 5 in just about every statistical category for NFL quarterbacks. He's 2-0.

Now he just has to keep doing it and he'll be in the probowl and maybe the superbowl if the defense can hold up.

I'm gonna get company down on the end of the fence?

The Jackson pass was clearly behind him and required Jackson to put the breaks on and jump to stop his forward progress to grab the pass.

Wow no. I hope you have the game on DVR and watch the 3 angles they show of that play. He had no reason to jump, and you dont stop by jumping.

The Jennings drop was behind him but not by a large margin. Too many drops today. When you have a young inexperienced QB, you cant have that many drops and continue to be successful.

They'll be just fine and 13-3ish if he continues playing like this. PB brought up a good point on the lack of tape, though.

[RashanGary]

The deep throw that JEnnings caught and then bounced backward before he went forward again was a good throw.

The defender dropped the ball and he had a safety coming over the top. He threw it shallow enough not to lead his guy right into the safety.

Who had the block in the back that brought the Blackmon return from the 40 to like the 10? Whoo, that made me furious. Will is a dynamo back there. Stud!

I believe that would be the special teams ace that made the team as a really bad cornerback...otherwise known as BUSH!!

[Partial]

Sad. I really like Bush on ST. He was very good at it last year.

If he is so good at special teams why couldn't he recover that fumble against the Giants? His screw-ups lead GB to the brink of disaster. GB should of included him in the Favre trade.
