2010 Opener: The Official Packers -v- Eagles Game Thread

[channtheman]

What a great win. The D held at the end and A-Rod and the offense put up 27 points on A BAD DAY. A Rod will bounce back big, Im not worried ONE BIT about him. Lets not sell the Eagles short. They are a tough team with a great coach. Winning in Philly is so damn tough.

Oh, and I have always hated Vick. If that was Kolb (or most QBs in the league) the Pack wouldnt have had 8 sacks today. But oh well, they need to adjust better I suppose. Still a great win.

I cant wait to go to Lambeau on SUNDAY! We are going to ROLL THE BILLS!

Absolutely. If we can win when Rodgers looks like crap we are in business. And this was in Philly, which is no easy win. Kolb getting hurt was the best thing for the Eagles though. Vick made some stupid choices thankfully. I think too many people are telling him to pass, when he should just run.

Okay, so it's James Johnson and not Kregg Lumpkin on the PS. If Grant is going to be out, do they activate Johnson, or go with just Jackson and Kuhn at RB?

I think they hold firm if Grant is only out a week or two. Much longer than that, and I think they have to make a move.

Just saw the Calvin Johnson play.

Two feet down and both hands on the ball...is the play not over at that point???

its just a horrible rule. he had two feet, an ass and one hand down and clearly had control of the ball because he was palming it with his right hand

a rb diving into the endzone doesn't have to continue to hold onto the ball when he lands, he just has to break the plain

lions lost because of an overly complicated stupid rule

Was the play ruled correctly? Yes.

BUT, no one, and I mean NO ONE can tell me that plays like that are the reason that rule was put into place. The refs need to have a brain and the ability to see that that was clearly a TD.

Is Tom Pelissero still with gbpressgazette? Looked for him for a post game chat - it's now Kareem Copeland....

Oh jebus... HE went to the Vikings, too. What's with MN sucking off our talent :P

New Sports Talk radio station station started up in the Twin Cities, they were hiring away all sorts of talent from everybody in the Midwestern Sports media who weren't considered key assets by their former employers.

But, really, it's not as though "reporting on a team" makes you a fan of that team. I doubt Bedard is a fan of the Packers. Probably most sports reporters aren't fans of any particular team.

Very true. Pelissero often said he wasn't a Packer fan. His chats were pretty cool.

That would be a waste. LOL

She's a regular on NFL Network. She's no Lindsay Soto, but who is?

Good thing nobody claimed Jarius Wynn. If it's an ACL, this is probably the end of the line for Justin. Too bad, seemed like an affable enough guy... just had shit luck.

Dammit...on a field goal.

Who'da thunk that the Packers would win when Rodgers plays poorly, the defense comes up with big stops, the special teams excel, but the team would run the ball pretty well.

That's a good win on the road against a tough team - particularly when the team knows it can play A LOT better.

Players have to take it one game at a time, but we fans can look ahead. Bills, Bears, Lions, Skins and Dolphins coming up to improve from here...
