OFFICAL WEEK 2 GAME DAY THREAD PACKERS at CAROLINA PANTHERS

[Jimx29]

Bottom line: Newton can have all the passing yards ever, but the 0-2 is what counts

[pbmax]

Well, two weeks without Joe Buck ends next week. Radio, here I come.

[wpony]

well its good to win ugly thats what sometimes makes the diferance between a wining and a loosing season

[pbmax]

3s instead of 7s is on the o.

But I was talking about a 50 yards pass with 2 minutes left in the game. Not earlier scores.

THey aren't doing him any favors not trying to balance out the attack.

[pbmax]

Collins aint playin the line up 14 late. He's sitting back waiting to go for a pick.

OK. But Burnett is still back there with him and Peprah did this last year. You cannot let someone get behind you.

yup thats been a big problem with M3 IMO, he settles for way too many fg's

the packers made that game hard to watch, jim mora made that game unwatchable

[Joemailman]

look at our coach

[Fritz]

That was somehow unsatisfying even though it's a win on the road in the NFL. I'm being all fan-ley right now, I know, but man, the offense looked out of sync, the pass rush wasn't much, and why did Crosby spend part of the game on kickoffs squibbing it? Jaysus, just let him swing away and put it into the back of the end zone.

Also, I must say Finley's blocking sucked butt. He doesn't look like he even gives it his all.

And if you're going to be a half-assed blocker, then you better come down with that ball in the end zone and not let it squirt out like it did, J-Mike.

Rodgers looked off, too.

[mmmdk]

Bills avoid super hail Mary and beat Raiders - WOW!

[Guiness]

Holy crap. Detroit 48, KC 3. Are the Chiefs that bad or....?

I saw some power rankings puttin KC at 32. Don't think I've seen that out of a playoff team before.

[red]

how in the hell does finley's TD not count but the one for the pats just now did count?

the NFL has no fucking clue what their own rules are right now. neither does anyone else

[Fritz]

But if Finley's TD had counted, then the non-TD catch by Calvin Johnson last year looks even worse than it does now - and even now it smells.

The NFL has no clue, really, what exactly a catch is any more.

Not sure, but perhaps they ruled that the defender knocked the ball out after he had controlled the ball. It's obviously a bad rule.

Maybe if you are talking about late game, midfield decisions. But this game was not an example of that. It was full of red zone miscues by the guys on offense. It wasn't a failure of nerve, tactics or strategy; they simply were not making plays. For example, Nelson running a route and Rodgers expecting and throwing something else.
