Boykin with the world's LEAST necessary holding on the play. Already had first down.

Joe Kapp. He did it all. Actually, he decked his own kicker in the pregame warmups and had to kick in that game.

Is that the game where he would have had seven but he decked his holder after the sixth?

Are you kidding me. My hatred for Schwartz is up there with Carroll and Harbough

[Rastak]

Lame time out by Detroit.

Yes, his drop kick was wide left.

[pittstang5]

You took a timeout to take a knee...stay classy Schwartz

So I'm pretending to be a farmer this weekends. Johnson out so our d looks good, however what's the problem on O? I expected a lot of points. How did oline play?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I agree with the breaking the plane. Had control, crossed the plane, it's good enough for an RB, why is it different for a WR?

that penalty on McMillan sucked. He did not lead with him helmet at all. WR was going down, the contact was incidental

The receiver counts as a runner when he gets two feet inbound.

McMillan did give the guy a shot to the head using his shoulder. The second slo-mo showed the guy got his beaner stung pretty good. It was incidental in that McMillan wasn't trying to put a lick on the guy, he just happened to catch him. I think it was a borderline call, but not a terrible call.

ya, but I didn't see much of a hold.

the word shitty comes to mind. they didn't give up sacks, but it wasn't from lack of trying

[Harlan Huckleby]

Clay out with Thumb injury

He don't need no stinkin thumbs.


BTW, I heard Jones was hurt in the first half, and it was the first time I realized there are three Joneses on the team.
I think one of those guys ought to changes his name to Smith out of consideration for others. Or maybe since Datone Jones is so tall, he can be called "basketball jones"

i agree, that was a bad call

Ahh, the run blocking was pretty good.

On the other side of the ball, it seems like the packers have to rush 5 to get any pressure. Sometimes 6. I guess you can do that when the other team has their two top wideouts out.

Suh and fairly play? Looks like we ran well so by stats alone they look good. Did burnett play? Also perry and Neal with sacks, do we have pass rush now?
Also Crosby 5/5 wow.

[Bossman641]

Didn't get a chance to see the game.

A few questions
-How did Burnett and the safeties in general look?
-I see we only gave up 1 sack. Was that from good protection, quick throws, or was Rodgers just barely getting rid of it before getting drilled?
-How was the run blocking?
-Who was the 3rd down back? I'm guessing not Franklin?
-How was our pressure on Stafford? I see 5 sacks but was that due to heavy blitzing?

Thanks
