The Official WK 6 Packers-Buccaneers GameDay Thread

[Freak Out]

The offense has played lights out for the most part and carried the D. When the offense needed a lift the D still sucked. That's been the problem for how long now? The team needed D more than a damn WR.

I always thought of MVS as a one trick pony. Good trick, but one trick. He's been becoming more consistent underneath. Once Lazard comes back, WR is near the least of our concerns. QB, RB, then WR.

ESB looked rusty, but glad to have him out there getting his sea legs. Shep improving too. 1-5, least of our concerns!

[Vincenzo]

That double pump.that Rodgers did after the near rushing touchdown was absolutely hilarious. I had no clue what it was reference to at the time, but I absolutely laughed my ass off!!

It looked a bit queer to me. First thing I thought was bad karma and that you’d never see Brett Favre pulling a move like dat.

Are we skipping the debrief - can’t think of any studs as I didn’t care to watch 2nd half.

How we were not prepared? Why was practice ‘bad’ this week per lafleur?

2 years in a row Packers have had their worst performance coming out of a bye. At least we got it out of the way.

As Harrell said, it was hilarious. What's not funny is, Rodgers might've been concussed a bit on that play. Wasn't the same afterward.

Packers are 18-5 under MLF. 5 losses are by an average of 19.2 points. After bye week losses by 37-8 and 38-10. Strange numbers.

I’m an eternal pessimist, but I’ll pull a Harrell and say with optimism that the Packers got back on track following the 69ners klusterfuck by feasting on a bottom dweller, the NY Futbol Giants, the following week.

While Tex’s 3rd favorite team is 1-5, the Texans are more underachievers than bottom dwellers. Hopefully the result will be the same: a Packer feastory.

100%. What was with the weird pose? In the replay, it looks like he did get rocked pretty good. Why on earth didn't he slide? Really dumb play.

He and that whole team was just off yesterday. He's said that on the pick 6 he made a throw too much to the inside. That may be true, but he was staring down Adams on that play the way you would expect a rookie QB to do.

[texaspackerbacker]

If he slid, he probably wouldn't have scored - which he didn't anyway, but he would have been a yard farther back, and with the Packers O Line, they probably wouldn't have been able to punch it in.

I doubt he had a concussion, but I'm wondering too what that crap was - promoting some product like when he did the discount double check, or what.

As for not being the same, he wasn't the same after the interceptions , probably because of the interceptions. The first one, I think he made the mistake all us fans made, thinking it just couldn't happen/overconfidence. On the second one, it was clearly Davante's fault. I hate slant passes - not much chance for a big gain, and a stronger chance for something going wrong. Both interceptions, for that matter, it seems to me, were a result of trying to get rid of the ball quick instead of scrambling - another thing some of ya'all crave, but I tend to dislike. I'll take the scrambling and taking his time over throwing picks anytime. Ya'all be careful what you wish for.

More about the whole team being off in a different thread.

Not that it affected the game, but the refs logic was solid. Rodgers gave himself up so no touchdown, but Rodgers didn't give himself up, so no penalty for roughing. Its like clown shoes kinda logic working there.

[GB-Brandon]

It was one bad game in 90 degree sweltering heat. Nobody has conquered the wildlings of Russia because turf advantages. The brits couldn’t march through the Appalachian forests without getting hill billy ambushed at every 100 year American oak. And the northerners crumbled in the Tampa heat.

I don’t know that it was as bad as it looked just yet.

I got a better excuse. Maybe some of the key players ended up in a Tampa Bay strip club with some Latin Strippers the night before the game and got all Coke’d up all night!!!

Your too much!!!!

What was with the weird pose?

It was a reference to this Key and Peele skit. This was before the NFL opened things up for players celebrating.

A guy in New Orleans did it.during the excessive celebration phase and was flagged
