Official Packers vs. Bucs Game Thread

Rodgers looks a little confused. He's holding the ball and generally throwing off rythm. I'm not sure what Tampa is doing, but it's confusing him.

The answer is in the playbook. No need for confusion.

Bad play calls or just bad execution by Rodgers in your opinion?

I've seen him play well and I've seen him hold the ball and play spotty. I guess I don't know what triggers it or what adjustments need to be made.

pretty good for an old stupid guy.

The story of his career.

I won't even stoop to your level.

Have GBRulz post the link to his we are screwed without Favre post from earlier this year.

Wow, Vikes just got a fumble on the Titans 40. No timeouts and 10 seconds though.



edit: 10 yard pass....looks like a 48 yard FG try........ice the kicker timeout

Jeez, if I'm a coach and I see guys walking off the field with hanging their heads down, I'm f-ing irrate.

These guys are pros.

No bitching about 'being tired' - esp in 2nd Q! Gotta keep your strongest muscle in the game (the one between your ears).

Did we win the toss and elect to receive (I always prefer to start on D) - or did TB defer? I've noticed a trend over the last few years - gotta start on D.

We won the toss.

I hate taking the ball first. If GJ had caught that pass we go to the half down a FG after a piss poor effort and get the ball to start momentum in 2nd half. Ehh - guess it's another thing I disagree w/ M3 about.

Truthfully? Ok, the OL started off OK, but now resembles a few turnstiles. Rodgers, who doesn't have a great deal of experience doesn't know when/where the next hit is coming from.

I don't think Rodgers has played that badly, however, what he has to face is not easy for someone with little NFL game experience.

The fault of this offense, and last week too, is primarily with the offensive line. It has not looked good.

Dang, Longwell clangs it off the upright from 48.


20-10 halftime for your NFC North rivals.

Tennessee has a pretty great defense. It's going to be tough coming back from that.

[retailguy]

CRAP. I needed those fantasy points! I started longwell today, b/c I thought there would be lots of FG's....

[Brando19]

The Jets are wearing some ugly ugly throwbacks....damn Favre is still the man with the hardest throwing arm in the league.

On another note...I hope the Packers start off running the ball. I hope A-Rod calms down and stays in the pocket. He needs to work on his posture more. Romo took notes by watching Tom Brady and how he stands up straight in the pocket looking down the field....Rodgers looks all slumped over today. Hopefully M3's second half adjustments will be better than the past few games.

He must have Applebees on his mind.

[RashanGary]

Jenkins is, again, having a really good game at DE. Rouse has played very assignement sure up to this point.

Pentalites, Barnett (in general) and Collins drop hurt us.


On offense the running game came out attacking the edge. It worked well. After that, Tampa adjusted and we havn't moved the ball well at all. Tampa has a good defense, but we have to do better. They have to get something going.

if they start off running they'll go three and out and the d will be back out there. nope. short passes for first downs and mix in a run now and then.

[Brando19]

Damn...Crosby saved that run. I wish he could get some Fantasy points for that one.

Now if it were me, and I was the GB Applebee's manager, I'd come up with a "discount" promotion for every missed FG...

[RashanGary]

Nice tackle by invisible Blackmon.
