More Banjo: Week 6 vs Detroit

[pbmax]

Rodgers asked the WR coach (Whitted) if 13 could come into the game.

Hard to hear question but I think Rodgers said 13 told him what routes he wanted to run. Rodgers apparently thought this was cheeky but a good sign of confidence.

Am I the only one who wasn't thrilled when Williams gave up the TD? I understand the reason for it, but something can always go wrong on a place kick.

i loved it

It was super smart, is the correct call (using up clock) and yet, it makes you a smidge nervous. I was at that Bears game in '99 and the final kick got blocked and the Pack lost. That's a gut punch man. (still, it led to Ray Rhodes being fired, so there's that...)

@WesHod
Mason Crosby said he and long snapper Hunter Bradley had been talking about doing a Lambeau Leap since last year.

"If you kind of saw, (Hunter) had gone through the line and I see him, and it was like, ‘Oh, this is happening now.’" #Packers

Where is Tex when you really want him ?

Great Rodgers game. Booger was awful. Sounded like he was crying

He was right, though. Rodgers and the Packers were gifted this one big time. Those were truly awful calls.

I wouldn't object to Gooter pulling the Anti-TT and sending a message and cutting Shepherd tomorrow. I know he was the pre-season darling but 6th receivers are a dime a dozen. Unless they think he is special - which he probably isn't likely to be - I'd like to see him cut simply to light a fire.

some questions answer themselves

Bakh said the guy had his hand in his throat all night. When I think about it, he does grab the jersey, but then he shoves his fist right in the OTs throat but thinks he should get away with it cuz he’s also gripping the jersey. Its a veteran move. Savvy by flowers. But he is the throat punching him in a sneaky way and that is illegal hands to to the face.

Mad.

You Rang? I never post during the game, and when my wife got home from work, we watched the replay. That and a few other things, so I've been busy.

A whole helluva lot of things went wrong tonight, but we still won. A win is a win is a win.

If I was a Detroit fan, I'd be whining my ass off about officiating - the two probable bad calls on hands to the face and the no call PI on Redmond. The way I look at it, though, we had seven points stolen - just given to Detroit on the 4th and goal. And there was similar no call on PI earlier in the game where the Lions DB did the same thing that Redmond didn't get called for. And heaven knows, the Packers have gotten shafted enough times in other games - they were undoubtedly owed one - or a dozen.

I'm not even gonna comment on this silly soap opera shit about Rodgers and LaFleur.

I'll save the rest of my comments for Studs and Duds or Egotists and Egoists. It's getting late.

This is exactly what I mansplained to my wife last night. I’m assuming our coaches, and perhaps others previously have brought Flowers “move” to their or the leagues attention and this was the result - officials calling a player for a choke.

And the other guy crying about the hit on Allison is as big a fucktard as Booger. The official explanation after the game said it all. It don’t matter if you’re going after the ball. You hit another player in the head asshole and even if you had intercepted that ball, you still would have been called for hitting him in the head, because the penalty was for... hitting him in the fucking head you crybaby loser. And all you apologists can go fuck yourselfs you bunch of hormonally deficient pussies.

Hard to believe those announcers were the best espn can do for a national broadcast.

It’s also pretty clear on the replay of the concussion hit, he stops playing the ball before it gets there because he’s anticipating contact. Literally turns his head and shoulder. This isn’t rocket science. Stop hitting people in the head.

There's always that game-within-a-game of talking with the refs. Everyone alerts the refs to stuff happening between snaps, at commercial breaks, etc. etc. And the refs know about players too. After all, most of these refs have actually reffed OTHER NFL games and know which players do what, etc. The ESPN crew (and most broadcast crews) too often come across as though they're watching the game for the first time.

[mraynrand]

Also, on the Redmond contact play, I don't care what those fools say, he ran his arm across the receiver's chest, but he never blocked his arms nor moved the player. It's actually a pretty damn fine defensive play. Patricia with his NE upbringing should never complain (and for all i know he didn't complain at all), considering those guys grab and hold all the time, as a matter of technique and strategy.
