NFL 2011 Kickoff - Green Bay v. New Orleans Game Thread (2 Viewers)

LOL, this is hillarious. The one time NO doesn't blitz their line gets a push.

 

[matttyl]

Jennings caught the pass yet he doesn't get credit and they tke the penalty instead?

That's how it's being shown in CBS' stats. Jennings can't be happy about that

In MFL as well. If Rodgers doesn't get to 300 yards (bonus in my league) or to 30 completions (bonus in my league) because of that CATCH not counting, I'm going to be really upset!

I didn't get a good look at it, maybe it was close in terms of being in bounds, if you take the penalty it can't be challenged. Just a thought.

If it's challenged and reversed, they can still change their mind and take the penalty.

Hmm, didn't know that. Makes sense though.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Dagger coming up?

 

[Sabertooth]

Great game

 

[Statorama]

Hmm, running for it during a short yardage play. Interesting

 

[Mr.Pack]

Dagger coming up?

We still would have to kick off.

 

[VaTerp]

Give me one more here Rodgers....Dang it Jordy!

It's fixed.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHN

 

[Reepicheep]

The crowd called it, were the Saints not listening?

 

[Buckna]

A little trickery there with some Kuhn... I see what they did there.

 

[Statorama]

Geez, they're just pulling the Saints DL down by their jerseys now. This holding is ridiculous

 

[rascal]

Lesson I'm learning right now...buy Starks at whatever cost. Grant has had maybe one carry this half?

 

[Sabertooth]

Jordy Nelson seems like he's overthrow Driver.

 

[timschochet]

Packers look like a 13-3 or 14-2 team. Only injuries keep them from home field advantage.

Rodgers' King Kong nuts prob. obscuring vision.

Injuries didn't stop them late last year...

 

[Sabertooth]

Meachem will be the top Saints wr

 

[Tony Jabroni]

We are just beating up a very good Saints team.

You didn't notice that LAST YEAR?

 

[timschochet]

True, but they didn't have home field either. This year I expect them to do so.

 

[pecorino]

NOT a great game for an old curmudgeon who likes to see tough defense and a semblence of a running game. 35% rush vs. 65% pass, 70+ points. this is not my NFL. time to sell my seat license to a twenty-something yuppie who'll enjoy the 21st century NFL more than me.

 

[el-gato-grande]

Show Finley some love in the red zone, please.

The Saints going to a zone really took him out of the game.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

If your dance is that bad you shouldn't do it on national TV

 

[flapgreen]

Why do the Saints hate winning?

 

[SproutDaddy]

Meachem is nothing more than a slot receiver.

 

[Reepicheep]

How to tell your special teams sucks: the league moves the KO line up 5 yards and you're still kicking short kicks to protect a lead.

 

[mrpnlu]

Meachem is nothing more than a slot receiver.

holy cow man thats the one thing he aint.

 

[rascal]

Sproles just got owned. Ingram would have picked that blitz up.

 

[Shrugs]

That's why you have Pierre Thomas in on third down, not Sproles

 

[SproutDaddy]

Meachem is nothing more than a slot receiver.

holy cow man thats the one thing he aint.

What game are you watching? And im a Saints fan.

 

[timschochet]

We are just beating up a very good Saints team.

The Saints are a fine offensive team, and they'll be a playoff contender because they can score so many points. But their defense was awful last year and they certainly haven't looked any better tonight. With Atlanta a very good team and Tampa getting better, I think New Orleans will be on the cusp of the playoffs all year long and may not get in. 9-7, perhaps 10-6.

 

[E-A-G-L-E-S]

Jennings now getting credit for that 22 yd catch

 

[VaTerp]

It was nice knowing you Ryan Grant...

 

[Mr.Pack]

How to tell your special teams sucks: the league moves the KO line up 5 yards and you're still kicking short kicks to protect a lead.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Becoming very clear that James Starks is indeed the guy in Green Bay. Pretty much confirmation of that tonight. He's been in for about 80% of the snaps I'd guess.

 

[Sabertooth]

Jordy Nelson seems like he's overthrow Driver.

You didn't notice that LAST YEAR?

No.

Herminated.

 

[timschochet]

I think Grant and Starks is a full blown RBBC all year unless one of them gets hurt. I don't think either one is worth more than an RB3 at this point. Just too unpredictable.

 

[VaTerp]

It was nice knowing you Ryan Grant...

Spoke too soon?

 

[Team ROFLCOPTERS]

Shredding them like they are not even there.

 

[BigTex]

It's Church!!!! The Pack are in control and running the clock down.

 

[VaTerp]

Yup. if your forced to put one of them in your lineup you just have to hope to get lucky and guess the right week, hope they get a TD.

 

[Eviloutsider]

Starks, you can't miss that one.

 

[ArcticEdge]

OK, lets rally here.

 

[Kenny Powers]

Meachem will be the top Saints wr

I beg to differ since Lance Moore isnt even playing this week.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Starks, you can't miss that one.

He's done some nice running, but he's also made a couple of bad errors that have gotten Rodgers hit.

 

[Mr.Pack]

Starks, you can't miss that one.

Which is the main reason he's not the full blown #1.He has had a good game picking up the blitz though, so I think it's just a matter of time.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

James Jones IS alive. Nice to see him getting some reps during garbage time.

That's what they paid him for.
