*Official* Green Bay Packers discussion thread Part III

One thing that I don't miss about Favre is on those pump fakes where the ball would go sailing behind him.

yeah I know, but there was nobody better at the pump than #4

The Ravens defense has only allowed 11.6 points per game in their five November games.

it might turn out to be a defensive battle

The weather has changed dramatically over the last week. Snow on the ground and cold in southeastern WI. There's always more snow in Green Bay and it's always colder.

[papi93]

Since week 4, the only running back to have more yards from scrimmage than Rice is the Titans Chris Johnson.

Who has two thumbs and is excited about Monday night Packer football?

THIS GUY!

LoL!!

[papi93]

LT Chad Clifton upgraded to probable for Monday night's game. TJ Lang questionable due to his concussion.

[papi93]

After Murphy called out McCarthy, that's when the three game winning streak started.

[papi93]

Bears did not look impressive at all against the Rams in their win at home. If the Packers come to play, they should be able to put the Bears away fairly easy with Tauscher protecting Rodgers this time.

[wsuwarrior]

I would be embarrassed to be a Bears fan, especially right now...they are just plain bad.


Anyone else watching the Giants/Girls game? Good to see Aaron Rouse getting some playing time for them.

[papi93]

Vikings really got whopped by the Cardinals last night. Cards offensive line did a great job protecting Warner and they were smart enough to double Allen. It doesn't get any easier next week when they have to face the Bengals.

First December MNF ever in Lambeau...with no Ed Reed!

[papi93]

As I thought, ball security was an issue for both teams last night.

What was with all the penalties? Good win for you guys though.

Ravens are number one in penalites and the Packers are number two so it was right on course.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen that many interference calls.

[papi93]

I'm not sure if I've ever seen that many interference calls.

The refs were looking for them from the Ravens. There was one where it wasn't pass interference but their reputation did them in.

I believe it was the second or third most penalty yards in NFL history.

Edit: You should be able to post in this thread more now that the immature members have Part 3 to post in. No more of that childish flaming. Feel free to speak your mind.

It almost looks like that Tampa Bay loss was a good thing. Not that it seemed like it at the time but it woke them up.

[kethnaab]

well, Clay Mathews seems to be really coming on strong. Also, that hit by Chuckie near the goal line to keep, (Rice, I assume???) out of the end zone on the sweep left, right before Flacco's pick....

that tackle was a thing of beauty.

Packers President Mark Murphy said McCarthy needed to right the ship now...something similar that. It's the first time he has done something useful for this franchise. Him agreeing to eliminate the salary cap in 2010 was the worst move in Packer history.

BJ Raji stylin on the hater once again.

Matthews has the NFL speed that AJ Hawk was supposed to have coming out of college. A great decision for GM TT to trade up to grab Matthews in the first round. BJ Raji appears to finally be healthy and will be a force in the middle next season as the starter.

While Woodson didn't have the sexy stats, that tackle really turned the game around. Woodson still has to be considered for NFL Defensive Player of the Year for his impact on games.

The penalties are killing this team, good thing the Ravens were getting nailed as well.

[wsuwarrior]

I guess that officiating crew is well known for throwing a lot of flags. They were a poor pick to officiate a game against two aggressive defenses. The two PI calls in the end zone were bad calls as every analyst said today, we gave the Ravens every point they got.

[bignpisst]

The defensive penalties dont bother me as much as the offensive ones, sure they hurt as well but the offensive ones have been repeated over and over

Sometimes you really can't blame the offensive line for holding when Rodgers is running around back there trying to give his receivers more time to get open. They can't be expected to hold their blocks forever. The receivers need to get open more quickly.

No, its the false starts and stuff like that, that gets me going. A hold to protect your QB from getting killed is alright with me

False starts at home are inexcusable.

DT Ryan Pickett may miss the Bears game with a hamstring injury. At first I thought that Raji would get a full workload but they said he has ankle injury again.
