OFFICIAL GREEN BAY PACKERS vs. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS GAME DAY THREAD

[pbmax]

There was one penalty on Woodson that drives me crazy. Gates stopped in the middle of his route and Woodson doesn't stop in time so he runs into Gates and Woodson gets the flag. IMO it was GATES who initiated the contact, not the defender. But the DB rarely gets that call.

And the contact had nothing to do with the incomplete pass. Those are the worst imo/

I think running into the recveiver, even if the receiver pulls a Road Runner on you gets a flag every time. Frustrating, but they are pretty consistent about that.

I do agree this would have been a better no call since that pass wasn't going to be caught after Gates stopped.

That was a heads up play by Gates. Receivers on the sidelines should do it more if they ball is overthrown. Just slow down and let the defender run into you.

[Bretsky]

That call is consistently made. Chuck is a professional mugger but he's very crafty and gets away with more than he's called for

In any rear-ender, the police always ticket for following too close.

Just so long as Woodson respects him in the morning.

and add to the situation that the ball was not catch able.

BTW....why wasn't everyone and their cousin on the sideline yelling at Peprah to sit his ass down!? In that situation after he had the pick, he should of been on the ground in the fetal position guarding the ball. period

yep and yep

No need to Ponder the notion that rookie Ponder will tear the Packers defense to pieces; thank goodness for Rodgers & our offense.

I hope the defense is embarrassed, if not, then it's because they know deep down that this is who they are.

[smuggler]

Just thought I would add that it was Bishop who had the ball go through his legs on the onside kick, not Ryan Taylor.

I think they're a little embarrassed. Woodson sounded pretty down about the way the defense played. I'd be surprised if they don't play a lot better this week.

Peprah's friend told him he had a dream that Peprah would get a pick 6 with the game on the line. I think Peprah was trying to prove him right.

And no...I'm not making this up

AR was pissed that he threw the ball two yards oob.

Exactly

and finley still managed to make the catch.

No Charger was anywhere near him and he kept the clock running. But once he got into traffic he should have gone down.

I thought we got a similar call to what you're recommending earlier in the game.

Jordy drew a PI flag on a ball that seemed high and went OOB. When they showed the replay, the DB had grabbed his jersey earlier in the route, so it was a legit call. The holding obviously affected the route, but the ball looked uncatchable anyways.

I've got a question related to this - does that pass count as an incompletion? I'd guess no, because the penalty wipes out the play.

No it counts as nothing other than a penalty.

And to whoever said the ball went through Bishop's legs on the onside kick, it actually didn't. It was number 82, which is in fact, Ryan Taylor.
