[Fosco33]

Amari is terrible

[beveaux1]

Good run by Jones. 1st down.

[Fritz]

Sounds like if the Packers never throw the ball and just run all day they might be okay.

Who knew we'd say that when Aaron Rodgers was the Packer QB?

[QBME]

Okay, Rats, I'm going to do this.

This game day thread is in honor of my wife Tonya, who passed away early Thursday morning after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

Like the Packers, I am bruised and torn and lost right now.

But my wife was a fighter. She scratched and clawed and fought every inch of the way. She never gave up, ever, even when it became clear this past year what was coming. Even when our oncologist gave us "the talk" three weeks ago (it's okay to stop treating the cancer, nothing more we can really do, all of that), when we went into the hospital the next day and the rounding oncologist asked her if she was stopping chemo or just putting it on pause, she said, "Oh, we're just on pause."

When I asked her, after she lost her balance and could hardly walk by herself, if it was time for a walker, she said "We're not there yet." When I told her I wanted to put shower bars in the bathroom, she said "I don't think we're there yet." She just refused to give in. Her body gave out, but her mind and her spirit never did.

So my wish is that somehow this thread will spin out into the universe and imbue the Packers today with that same spirit. Win or lose, may they play with that kind of will.

Wow.
I have never checked in on the game day thread, as the wife and I record the game and start a little late to avoid commercials. Today’s OT game forced me to check the thread for a quick update.

Shit Fritz…don’t have the words.

One step in front of the other now.

Hang tight.

The theory that Watson is tall and fast, therefor good isn’t going so well.

I was thinking the same thing last week when they went to the air a couple of times on 3rd and short - those passes should be an extension of the running game making those first downs easier...but they just weren't happening.
