Official Packers vs. Ravens Game Day Thread

[mraynrand]

Looney playing strong.

Some Raven player eating a hotdog on the sideline. Better than Ezra.

[Joemailman]

Phillies beat Cubs. Reds beat Cardinals.

[mraynrand]

I’ve had enough penalties.

This thread is more disturbing than the entire Why Your Team Sucks article plus comments.

Ravens have won 15 straight preseason games. Two more and it will be 4 full seasons never having lost a game. But still. Painful.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Well that was embarrassing.

Gary looking for his jock somewhere on the field right now.

I was wrong: Gary ain’t a Nick Perry clone. Perry actually played with tenacity when he was out there in the rye. Problem with Perry, he was a milksop and missed too many games.

Gary is a bum.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

Gary ain’t playing. He’s just jogging out there.

I said that last week. Uncool Pack fans made fun of me.

Btw, I missed the 2nd half. Opted for some voluntary OT. If my calculation is correct, and if the vicious fishmongers don’t milk me dry, in September, I should be able to accumulate enough frogskins to purchase a 65” curved 4K “smart” TV to watch my beloved Packers, and unfortunately, feed my porn addiction.

APB, are you aware just how cheap big screen smart TVs are getting these days?

I still have to check out the game on DVR, as I watched it on my grandson's small screen TV tonight. A few things stood out, though:

The Ravens played like preseason games mean more to them - a 29-0 win last week and that streak somebody mentioned.

I agree with a lot of what has been said about who did good and who did not. I'm as negative as anybody about Kizer, but I thought he was a little less bad than previously - maybe 60/40 good to bad, which still ain't a very good percentage. Boyle didn't look good at first, but shaped up nicely. I just don't see where people have good things to say about the O Line - not unless the expectations are really low. There were no holes for runners until deep into the Ravens' scrubs, and even then, our guys were letting them right through, not to mention all the penalties. It's hard to tell if the RBs are decent because they had such little room to run. Dexter Williams looked quick and fast, but it didn't count for much. Our higher level receivers didn't do much, and the second teamers looked better - Tonyan, Shepherd, Lazard, etc. However, maybe they were just going against weaker opposition. Kumerow, though, was in the game early, and he looked good again. I disagree with the idea that he won't be able to cut it in the regular season. He sure seems to have a knack for getting open and catching it.

It's way too soon to get all negative about Gary. He seemed confused and susceptible to trickery, but he's a rookie; Coaching ought to fix that. I really want to see him play against a more conventional QB, not a Webb or Lamar Jackson type. Bolton was really good, and one key to keeping him was being good on kick coverage. He certainly was that. Tony Brown made the play to get him his interception, though. Summers wasn't as good tonight, but maybe there is still hope.

As was said, Special Teams are looking good. I'm pretty sure Crosby keeps his job, and Scott shuts up his detractors. I haven't read anything about Davis being injured, but Shepherd took his spot. Is Davis on the way out? I'd say yes. Same for Moore.

Big screen TVs, say 65” or larger, are certainly cheaper these days. Back in my glorious youth when I was being institutionalized, I purchased a 32” 720p flat screen TV for 1200 frogskins, with my old man’s credit card, I think. Nowadays, 65” 4K flats can be found at Walmart for less than 400.

I ain’t as wealthy as Partial so I don’t own 5-7 titanic apple TVs. Currently, only a 42” 1080p Vizio roams my humble apartment. Curious what porn looks like in 4K.

I’m thinking about getting a 65” curved TV, even though a lotta tech nerds said that there ain’t much differences between flat and curved TVs. Curved are just a bit more expensive. I have a 19” 1080 curved monitor and 2D porn looks better on it than on regular monitors, at least to me.

What’s the difference between the 120 high speed TV and the 240 speed one, anyone knows?

Nice recap, Tex.

[RashanGary]

Yep. Nice recap Tex. Good post.

[Bretsky]

I didn't see any of the game so I wanted to thank everybody for their comments.

Sounds like today was a bit of a mess on defense and an offense one clear PR them is Kizer must go.

Also, sounds like Fritz might be ordering up some I told you so signs and maybe the 2nd round OL could start, or at least have a ton of value

[Fritz]

Gary ain’t playing. He’s just jogging out there.

Sounds like he's in midseason form!

A lot of people here have talked about this offense needing four or five games to get the hang of the thing. I think it won't be til next year that it clicks.

Kizer in the huddle: "I'm going to Kum on this play. Break!"

[mraynrand]

lot of excitement about that game last night

[wist43]

Gary ain’t playing. He’s just jogging out there.

Will watch the game when I get home, but doesn't sound good.

He looks lazy... impossible to coach over that.

Meanwhile, Burns has looked beastly on Carolina
