More Banjo: Week2 vs. Seahawks

[hoosier]

I find it a little shocking that (a) Lacy's "minor" injury would have kept him from weight bearing and (b) that any injury suffered by a Packer would ever be termed "minor" before that player actually returns to action and survives first contact. History should have taught us all by now that all injuries to Packer players occurring between the head and the metatarsals are potentially career threatening.

[Smidgeon]

The vaunted St. Louis Rams defense, run by the vaunted Jeff Fisher and Gregg Williams at the vaunted James Edward Olmos & Sons Dome held the Seachickens to 24 points.

The Defense carried the day in the first half while the offense figured out how to adjust after one monster drive.

It was good stuff. And with some more clean up, seems like it can get better. Even in mostly nickel, they were able to contain Lynch and wist.

And imagine what they could have done with their #1RT, #1WR, #1RB, and their #2 and #3 WRs not playing injured...

If you could combine Sam Barrington's run-stopping with Nate Palmer's coverage skills, you'd have an All-Pro inside linebacker...

#Packers DT Josh Boyd has an MRI, but 1st diagnosis is not as bad as it seemed. He broke a small ankle bone, not expecting long-term absence

That's surprising in a very good way. Normally when you see both teams instantly gesturing for the trainers to come out it's a real bad injury.

Might be the most impressive win of the McCarthy era.

On Packers' Eddie Lacy, it's a low-ankle sprain, as it looked like it would be. Very weak and sore, so status for Week 3 is in unclear.

Low ankle is better than high ankle, right?

Not sure if you're being funny or not - but yes. high ankle - he's out 4-6 weeks. Low ankle or your regular run of the mill "Ankle" Sprain. Could be days or couple weeks. All depends on severity, person...etc.

This game keeps getting more enjoyable:

He's already talked about how Elliot lost the ball. Now he has a new complaint:

“Remember when they got us to jump offsides and then they get the 53-yard pass interference penalty?” Carroll said on ESPN 710 Seattle. “That’s a total mistake on the officials’ part. We jump offsides, their offensive line, the right guard and tackle stand up, the play’s dead. That play never happened. It never should have happened. It would have been a 5-yard penalty. It would have been second-and-12 backed up with 30 seconds left. That was a huge deal to us. It never should have gotten to that point. . . . That was the biggest play of the game for them, really.”

Carroll also says the officials shouldn’t have ejected Seahawks linebacker K.J. Wright for a skirmish that Carroll claims was more the fault of Packers tight end Richard Rodgers.

Must really sting, when you are used to being on the opposite side. Fail Mary.

Pathetic. Petey should probably stop complaining about blown referee calls against the Packers. What a contrast of class compared to McCarthy from a few years back.

Slightly longer.

[red]

he was also throwing a shit fit in the first half and screaming at the ref that they "got it wrong", on the 12 men on the field penalty that was reviewed

the replay showed there was clearly 12 men on the field

the guy is fucking delusional

also, we see it at least once every two games where the team other then the one awarded the fumble comes out of the pile with it and no one gives a shit cause the ref already gave it to the other team

[vince]

wish that gif lasted a couple seconds longer so we could see Lang jumping in too.

Rodgers had Wright dominated on the play so he pulls that shit. Rodgers' retaliation is totally justified. I'm a big DickRod fan after that.

Wait. I'll never be saying that again.

Remember a couple of years ago when they were all concerned about 'identifying the instigator?' Good times. Good Laughs.

And the move against offsetting penalties?

Although, I think this offsetting penalties PLUS ejection has promise. That was an unusual step for any crew.

Lang's hit was also much more tame than I remember the replay. I thought he clocked Wright at speed. He really just shoved him aside. Good for him.
