Official Packers vs. Steelers Game Day Thread

[woodbuck27]

if rodgers wasn't close to coming back then why wasn't he IR'd along with jolly and bostick?

Yes that ? is still open for evaluation.

Pugger seems to have it covered with that article she posted today.

Is she TT's secretary?

LOL.

WTF is really going on 'in the ORGANIZATION'.

anyone else find it funny that hydes big return at the end happened when he ran as fast as he could away from all his blockers and special ed classmates?

[red]

Welp, I guess this game is payback for Yancy Thigpen....

i was at that game

met and got to talk to #66 after the game

i was in the opposite endzone, our end of the field was in the middle of being pissed off that we lost when the cheers from the other end made us look back up and see it was incomplete

Well, sing along tonight...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTcxQ7ER-G0

Is that on the GB clock dude running the clock?

I don't blame the clock operator. He was late realizing the play was blown dead. A good ref would have noticed the clock kept running after the false start. Often, they'll even review the replay to find out what it should be. This group of officials wasn't exactly stellar, so it's not very surprising. Flynn probably would have missed a wide open Jordy again, if he got a chance to run another play. More than anything, blame Lang for doing what you absolutely cannot do in that situation. Blame Nick Perry for doing the same on the Steelers last drive.

that weird call by the refs is already one of the main stories on nfl.com

it might be a good thing we lost, there would be an all out shitstorm if we had won

I'm sure it would, but we can take any sort of storm in Packerland Seattle handled that fine when they won last year on the Fail Mary and everyone ripped the outcome.

Meanwhile, I feel like this photographer. Ouchity.

Fire Slocum.

[bobblehead]

Are we Scrooges if we fire up the Fire Slocum thread on Christmas Day?

No, it was on my list to santa, so it would be very natural.

i don't want to wait till x-mas to talk about firing slocum, i'm pissed right now

two huge returns given up, a blocked fg, a stupid penalty on a FG that resulted in a TD, the fake punt for a huge gain

this was a fucking disaster of epic proportions by the special teams. the one man show of hyde was the only redeeming item

Amen, brother. To say special teams was a train wreck is an understatement. Perry should have known better. The coverage teams were pathetic and Goode nearly cost a blocked punt early in the game.

[denverYooper]

The Bears have to lose tonight for the NFL story lines to be in effect for the final week of the season. They will lose.

Amen. The weird are going pro.

21-0 phi. game over. next week matters. what's the news with clay?

[pbmax]

Do you think Payton Manning lets that happen ??

Of course not. But Manning has been a starter for 200 games and has run no-huddle most of his career. This was Flynn's seventh start. The only way Manning is applicable is if Rodgers is in there.

Better question is why they didn't stop the clock before the penalty as Dan, yoop or someone suggested. If you are not playing to maximize the number of shots at the end zone. The clock it and call two plays for 3rd and 4th down.

I think the 10 second runoff with the penalty caught them without a script. At that point, the only thing McCarthy can do is yell, its ALL on the QB.

If I am not mistaken, McCarthy would not have had an open mic during that rundown and the setting of the ball.
