Studs & Duds - Packers vs. Seahawks

[Harlan Huckleby]

Eddie Lacy might be done running behind that line. He can’t make people miss quickly enough. I think Carson and Rawls are gonna be their guys.

It's only one game, but the guy is a dead weight. I'm glad he's not the Packer's problem anymore.

Solid review, Vince. Like all your work, great.

What happened to Brooks? Concussion protocol? When did he get hit? He must have delivered a blow somewhere, where was it?

Not a great game, but there was some slobberknockin' goin on out there. Fair amount of bad blood flowing btw the two ballclubs.

You throw a punch and you get a flag. There is no need to apologize for that call. And Rodgers probably tackles that guy of he doesn't get shoved off line by the block in the back.

The non DPI was worse than both. But they were calling grabbing much in either secondary, which actually plays to Seattle's strengths.

HAVING FLASHBACKS TO CRIS CARTER

COME ON MAN

Adams deserved every bit of a penalty as the dude who got one. You don't throw a punch and you get a flag; that is my interpretation. And Rogers go marginally pushed in the shoulder. The NFL guy Perarra sp? who does everything h can to protect his old buddies even said both calls were poor.

Don't get me wrong...........I'll take em and be happy about it...VERY HAPPY

I'm thankful

THE DPI's wee bad too but I could argue against those and say balls were uncatchable. I have a hard time doing anything but grinning in thanks at the INT calls.

[Bretsky]

The rookie RB from Seattle looked a lot better than Lacy

I would have looked better than Feast Mode.

A guy reaches out with 2 hands and pushes a player in the back and its a bad call?? Seriously? That is textbook easy as pie to call absolute no brainer. A stupid penalty to be sure, but it gets called every single time on any return of a punt or kick.

The one I had a beef with was the taunting on Cobb. After watching Seattle and SF taunt our guys for how many damn seasons while I scream "wheres the flag" they called that ticky tack bullshit?

[bobblehead]

Oh, and DUD--M3. After daring to dream that we would run against the nickel and exploit our dual threat TEs we continually split them out and passed into the dime on 2nd and 10. Then late in the game when Seattle stacked 8 in the box we ran into it as MM loves to do. The play action was so out of character that Penn and Teller called and said they are putting into their show.

STUDS: REFS...........We undoubtedly got the calls today...which IMO never happens........they really F'cked up the TD for Seattle and it was a huge gamechanger

The pass interference that they missed when Adams got hit was far more obvious than the one in the corner of the end zone. Did you see the Seattle receiver grab the head of the Packer DB and pull him into his body? I would think THAT was the reason for the no-call. Not a word about that or the Adams interference by the incompetent fag commentators.

And the pick 6 that got taken away was clearly a legitimate call too - the push in the back of Rodgers chasing the guy who intercepted the pass.

I second ND72's nomination of Vogel. He was backed up a couple of times and hit no duds. He allowed 1 return of 5 punts, though there was one other moon shot he hit that could have been returned.

Kid looks good so far. 42 Net is great is they have less than 20 returns for the season.

Fackrell was active, more than he was in preseason. Still not a force at getting quick pressure, he has a nose for the ball and being in position. Would have loved to see more of Brooks.

Murphy held up better than I expected. And he seemed to get better.

All true - Vogel was excellent. Murphy wasn't hopeless going against an excellent D Line. And Fackrell did his job in the scheme - about all you can ask of a back up.

I never even saw Brooks hit the field, and I was surprised to see it written on the screen that he got the concussion.

I had to miss most of the 1st half and third quarter, was wondering about the injuries. Hope Brooks doesn't miss too much time.

Glad to hear Vogel passed the first test. And glad to hear frickin' Fackrell did something.

Duds: the fans. Doing a loud 'go pack go' chant in the 4th quarter when the offense is on the field? the hell is wrong with them.

PS. Go check reddit and I get reminded why I hate the Packer subreddit so much (besides the constant baby + dog pics), there is a thread where people are actually defending the chanting in the game. No wonder that place is garbage.

Good one. It might have been my favorite call of the day. Those 1st and 2nd round runs into stacked boxes were my least.

But I did like some of the routes early in the game. Really seemed to work to get Bennett/Kendricks and Cobb open in or at least from the middle of the field.

Wrong as that is, at least they got excited about something. Several times earlier in the game it was dead quiet.

[mission]

I didn't see a punch.

You also never saw the complete play. Every time they started showing the replay, they cut it off before its completion. The longest playback showed Lane first pushing Adams' head down with his forearm and then slamming his head back down into the turf after that with the same forearm. Maybe that was enough for the ejection, maybe something happened after that, but you didn't see it and I didn't see it. And neither did those idiots Troy and Buck.

Yeah, I was kind of surprised by the quiet crowd. After the Daniels strip sack they were just kind of sitting on their hands. Was it the Milwaukee tix package?
