Official Week 1 Packers vs. Jaguars Game Day Thread

[red]

i've read a couple of times, and heard during the game that there is no replacement for real gametime together

well, who's at fault for that?

you know, a-rod only playing a handful of downs with everyone else in the preseason?

maybe if a-rod had played with his team mates more this wouldn't have been a 6th preseason game that counted that we almost lost

You might want to re watch the second half of MIN/TENN.


I didn't see all of the Pack game so not sure how it was down the last play in that game, so to speak.

Seems like Packer offense played well. Defense didn't give up many yards on the ground too.

I watched all of the Vikings, Eagles, and Packers game. I thought the Vikings looked pretty awful until they were gifted two defensive TDs and got the lead. Minnesota is built to play with the lead and Tennessee is not built to play from behind.

The quality of play was much lower than the Packers-Jags game--although it was better than the Eagles-Browns game. The Browns are terrible.

What was the deal with ad today? 19 carries for 30 yards? Titans just load up the box or what?

Nine to ten in the box for the most part.. Vikings offense wasn't too good in the first half, never did get the run game going all game long. They were "gifted" a defensive TD when they got in the QB's face and jumped the dump off. One man's good defensive play is another man's gift, lol.

I'm not saying the Vikings looked great but they moved the ball and shut down the other guys on the road. Their defense was solid when it counted. Similar to last year, give up some yards, not a ton of points.

no one really plays well week one. it's more who plays the least awful.

Lombardi played his starters in the preseason and they played the best part of the games. How times change.

Like you said, it's how things are today. I do not agree with it but every team does it.

[Pugger]

Too close for comfort. Bad sequence running three times when they had first and goal. That gave Jax life.

Gladly take the win though

Absolutely! Jax is a good team and is going to give AFC teams fits this year. Going on the road in that furnace and get the W? I'll take that all day long!

I agree. I think Jacksonville has real potential to be a playoff team in the AFC. The AFC South certainly is wide open...it isn't like any of the other 3 teams are bona fide title contenders. They have a reasonably stout defense and have some decent playmakers on offense. Going into their place to open the season and come out with a win will look pretty good come November.

Quite honestly, these first two road games may be our hardest two road games of the year.

JAX has a good team this year - their defense is much improved. I'd rather not get a Jordy-type injury in the preseason and win regular season games.

[mmmdk]

Jaguars are much improved. A win is a win but Jax kinda blew it. Packers looks the same on defense, play calling and in their lack of aggressiveness. Great with Jordy back and AR, Lacy and OL looked pretty good for a week 1 game.
