Game Thread W4 - Green Bay v Minnesota (2 Viewers)

That's not a fumble. His elbow was down.

 

[Kilgore]

He sure looked down to me... Why is no one mentioning it?

 

[fflnut]

Wow, that's really bad. Rodgers needs to get rid of it quicker, jeeze, you don't hold on double pumping while in the end zone surrounded by purple jerseys.

 

[Werewolf Moderator Fan]

Way to challenge that to a safety.

 

[smackdaddies]

it is a safety

 

[jurb26]

That's not a fumble. His elbow was down.

And his knee.

 

[Big Rocks]

 

[Billy1x]

Challenge to get a safety against you! Wow

 

[MCguidance]

Wow, two bad challenges. Actually hurts the Pack more since they need time to come back. Now they give them the 2 pts and punt it away and the Vikes will grind it out.

This was a bad game all around - bad line play, bad coaching, bad QB decision making. Can't get much worse.

 

[bbuster]

Ryan Grant does not impress me at all. Just looks very average to me.

Donald Driver is ageless. What an under rated player IMO.

Love this guy...seems like it always takes several guys to get him down. Never goes down with the first hit.Gotta say something about the comments regarding the INT "record"...People never seem to mention that Favre has attempted 1000 more passes than Marino and 5367 more than Blanda whose "record" he broke. Obviously more attempts is going to equal more INT's.

Favre: 9374 attempts 311 INT

Marino: 8358 attempts 252 INT

Blanda 4007 attempts 277 INT

Personally, I'll take the extra INT's for a QB who has never missed a game...that is priceless. As a lifelong Packer fan who got to enjoy 16 years of Favre football, I just don't understand all the hate from Packers fans. Of course it's hard seeing him in purple, but that was the Packers choice.

Wish I had started him tonight over Rodgers

 

[Red Forman]

AE must be smiling on vacation, wherever he is.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

That is pretty terrible by Rodgers. Between him holding on to the ball and the line being horrible, I would be looking for a backup plan for when he gets injured if he is your QB.

 

[j3r3m3y]

at ESPN finding a new record for Favre to brake.

:facepalm:

Heterograph error.

Thought it was a homonym.

Homonyms have the same spelling.

Damn... I am not smarter than a 5th grader tonight.

 

[joetrow]

Is it still a saftey if Rodgers gets the ball across the goal line? It looked like he streched it past the goal line before he went down.

 

[Mr Anonymous]

I'll admit I'm in full-blown heavy drinkin' mode. Don't worry, I'm not a domestic violence kinda guy. So at least I got that going for me, which is nice.

 

[massraider]

It needs to be said again, so we don't take it for granted:

Tony Kornheiser is gone, replaced by Jon Grude.

Woohoo!

 

[Knobs]

Rodgers has had no time to throw but Rodgers held onto that ball waaaaay too long.

I'm trying really hard to not rehash this all. But no, it wasn't. Favre made the choice to retire then tried to comeback figuring Green Bay would just fold because he's Brett Favre.The guy's a great QB, but a first class jackass.

 

[Kilgore]

Challenge to get a safety against you! Wow

Better than a touchdown...

 

[Limp Ditka]

Challenge to get a safety against you! Wow

Giving up 2 points>>>>>>>>>>giving up 7

 

[ForteWillLeadTheWay]

AE must be smiling on vacation, wherever he is.

Why? Did he see something shiny?

 

[smackdaddies]

Better than a touchdown...

Doesnt matter. Lee dropping that TD pass was the end

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

Challenge to get a safety against you! Wow

Better than a touchdown...

Not that it would matter much. It's a mismatch with Allen on Colledge. Lang was going to get eaten alive. Better to fold up and live to play another day. I'd rather see Rodgers still able to stand after this one.

 

[smackdaddies]

Let's see Farve audible out of a run and throw a TD. Not that revenge is on his mind....

 

[smackdaddies]

Why is AP still in the game?

You guys act like Favre is the only guy to retire and change his mind. It still came down to the Packers choice no matter how it went down.

 

[j3r3m3y]

Oh god, they are talking about playoffs? Really?

Has anyone mentioned that Bettis was from Detroit... and gets to play a SUPERBOWL IN DETROIT?!?!?!

/I hate the hype

 

[Kilgore]

Oh no - they just came out and SAID they were going to ram idiotic Brett Favre stats down our throats the rest of the season...

 

[Frostillicus]

Damn... I am not smarter than a 5th grader tonight.

No, it's a homonym.

 

[Limp Ditka]

PIN IT!!!!

 

[EdwardCat]

So let me get this straight. As the Vikings offense becomes better at passing, Peterson's rushing average drops? He's gone from 7, to 6 to 4.5 to under 3 tonight. Utterly pathetic.

 

[MCguidance]

Damn... I am not smarter than a 5th grader tonight.

No, it's a homonym.

It's neither, it's actually a homophone.

 

[Werewolf Moderator Fan]

Vikes might want to consider playing D before they get what they gave to SFO last week.

 

[smackdaddies]

Not that I needed it, but that locked up high score in Anarchy 4 for me - Go Jordy!

 

[jurb26]

Could get interesting here.

I'm not using one of those.

 

[Billy1x]

Vikings are going to blow this

 

[Werewolf Moderator Fan]

At least he got rid of it that time.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

4-man rush, 3 guys get through instantly.

 

[Limp Ditka]

Vikings are going to blow this

McCarthy took care of that possibility by not taking the 3.

 

[Werewolf Moderator Fan]

Let's see what the Vikes learned from the Bills week 1.

 

[smackdaddies]

Vikings are going to blow this

McCarthy took care of that possibility by not taking the 3.

Or, if Lee hadnt dropped it , the game would be tied

 

[Native]

Come on garbage time!!!!

I hate when TE's drop those 9 point TDs.

 

[MSULions]

sure would be awesome if the Packers had 24 points instead of 20...if only they had an opportunity to kick a field goal earllier...

 

[Man in the yellow hat]

Yes, generally helps to catch balls that hit your hands when you're open in the end zone. The right call. The right read by Rodgers. Lee was open. All that's left is make the catch. Second guess all you want, but it was there for the taking.

Do Math Often? The score would be 30 - 28. The Pack would need a field goal

 

[Kilgore]

Taking 5 yards on the kick-off seemed like an odd call there. They basically forced themselves to pass for the 2-pointer...

 

[Werewolf Moderator Fan]

Going for the jugular there.

 

[PizzaDeliveryGuy]

Anybody else going to get hosed after this second garbage TD coming by Rodgers?
