Official Game Day Thread: Packers vs. Lions

[mmmdk]

Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila left Thursday's game with an ankle injury.

Gbaja-Biamila had his ankle rolled over as he contributed to a sack of Jon Kitna. He walked to the locker room under his own power, and his return is questionable

KGB with an ankle
CW with a toe. On the punt return like all of us were worrying about.

This crew ain't calling PI today. that's OK as long as they stay consistent.

I've wanted to see Tramon williams get reps at CB, but not this way!

yOU CAN'T CHANGE AT THIS POINT OF THE SEASON. Chuck wanted to do it and was exstatic that he's been given the chance to do it. The move should have been made in the preseason but wait a minute, Blackmon is never able to get on the field.

Hopefully all of our guys will be able to play next week.

The refs owed the Pack 10 seconds there at least.

nah, Favre owes the Packers 10 seconds. what the hell was he saving the timeout for? that was one of Favre's worst brain farts ever. The clock management that whole last drive wasn't great.

Whatever. What if he had used the timeout, went back for one more pass and got sacked?

Fascinating how even when the refs fuck up its still Brett's fault.

That looked pretty nasty, kind of like when Hawk fell on Larry Johnson's ankle/foot. I'd be surprised if he were back against Dallas and if he is, can he be as explosive on a gimpy ankle.

Packers getting bit by the injury bug today so far.

[b bulldog]

Jolley, KGB, Woodson, key contributers on D who are injured.

[b bulldog]

We've been pretty good on the injury front this year, injury is a part of the NFL.

[Harlan Huckleby]

Brett wanted to keep his timeout just in case they didn't score. I am far from a Favre apologist but thAT WAS ON THE REFS.

There's 13 seconds left .... tick tick tick and Favre is waving his arms to get the team lined up for a spike. Forget the refs. What sense does this make!? At extreme best, he lines up team and spikes with a few seconds left, if they're lucky, leaving one lousy play.


TOTALLY BONEHEAD. REFS DON'T MATTER.

[b bulldog]

iF THE FRONT FOUR CAN GET PRESSURE, WE WILL WIN THIS GAME.

[Pacopete4]

favre and mccarthy need to have some sort of system in place to when to take a time out and when not.. they both can call em, obviously need to clean that area up too i fault both

[mmmdk]

That # 50 is pretty darn good...

No one took the bait?

I think Hawk & Sims are both great - my auth. AJ Hawk jersey says who I support! :P

[b bulldog]

oNE PLAY IS ALL THAT WOULD BE NEEDED. The refs should have cleared the pile or stopped the clock.

[FritzDontBlitz]

I am guessing if Woody can walk at all, he will be back for the second half....

[The Leaper]

Whatever. What if he had used the timeout, went back for one more pass and got sacked?

Then what are you upset about? You apparently want a FG, because there is no way they get to the line and spike the ball with more than 5 seconds left on the clock. It would take at least 8 seconds for everyone to get in position and make the spike.

You run a fade pattern or fade stop that won't allow for a sack, obviously. Favre has a clock in his head, and if it isn't there, you throw it out the back of the end zone.

Arguing that you can't take a chance at the end zone if you take a time out is ridiculous to me.
