Official Gameday Thread: Panthers vs. Packers

[digitaldean]

A 3 game lead with 6 to go in the reg. season.

It's a matter of fixing the line issues we had today. That and Crosby's 2 misses were the only downers.

I'm worried about our D

considering they were on the field almost the whole 2nd half i'm not.

[run pMc]

NYG 16 DET 10 DET is now the worst rushing team in the NFL.

GB might jump up to 29th or 30th after today. I really hope Grant is OK....any news?

MIN 29 OAK 22 ugly game, C.Taylor runs wild while AP watches.

CHI & SEA kicking off next.

Congrats to TTT, M3, Lorenzo and the kids on making it to 9-1 and extending to a 3 game divisional lead over the sputtering Lions.

I will wait until I get word about what actually sidelined Grant before I push the panic button. He had close to 900 lbs fall on him at once (two Carolina defenders plus sorry ass Daryn Colledge) so unless there was a sideline report he could have just had the wind knocked out of him....

Nice win!

No matter how much they say they don't look ahead, it's hard to believe they were completely focused on the Panthers today.

I was worried in ther first half about our D. The Dline better start getting more pressure if we are going to have a chance in Dallas cause that huge Oline will ram it down our throats if we can't.

JSOline just reported in their game log:

Ryan Grant looks like he twisted his right ankle but was able to get off the field under his own power. It was the coach's decision that he did not return.

[FritzDontBlitz]

I'm worried about our D

I'm not. The entire second half was basically garbage time for them. Even with the breakdowns by Harris they still ended up winning by 14 points.

007, I agree. It is now put up or shut up time. The next two games will determine if we are as good as some think or if we are not as good as Dallas.

We didn't play well against the run in the first half and our passrush was nonexistent. That D will get us killed in Dallas

I agree. The offense looked pretty vanilla. They did a poor job extending drives. The defense really wore out.

[b bulldog]

The D gave up 131 rushing yards and gave up an average of 4.5 per rush. This stat along with a poor passrush is what is concerning and this was from the first series on.

I am not concerned about comparisons to Dallas. I'm really not that concerned about losing to Dallas. I am only concerned about winning the division. Let Dallas be the heralded frontrunner, I just want Green Bay to secure at least a first week bye.

Fugg the accolades and the stats, just keep winning. That's all that really matters in sports anyway...

[b bulldog]

The division is ours. We's have to have a huge collapse not to take it.

Homefield advantage is big, really big.
