Game Thread W9 - Green Bay V Buffalo (1 Viewer)

[Billy1x]

Manuel knocked out with a helmet to the knee. Both saftiess out.Backup safety call the wrong definse and Lee Evans runs all by himself to the goal line. TD.

Where the F is Jennings? Is he still playing?

Reinjured his ankle

I think he is still playing in 3 receiver sets but Marvel and Driver are playing in the 2 wr sets.

should've just handed it to ahman..

please? :(

Packers simply cannot play offense in the redzone. Here comes the "Favre needs to retire" talk. Not a terrible change from the recent "Favre still has it" talk.

I wouldn't put that INT soley on Favre. The ball was tipped and Simpson was in the perfect "look what I found" spot.

You guys called it... TD A Train

 

[mrspree15]

And who wants to put money on Thomas scoring a TD this game? McGahee is allergic to the endzone.

Winner!

 

[Kleck.]

I dont understand why the Packers just dont pound it when they get close. Same situations last week and they try to throw it in with a quick slant.

Agreed. Time is not an issue, you need a score, it's first down from the 1, and Green and Herron have both been running strong.

 

[Pack43]

Why does GB refuse to run from the 1-yd line? What's that 4 different possessions in the last 2 weeks that they've dropped to throw on the 1 on early downs?

 

[Chickenwang]

A train with the TD...

ANy update on McGahee in that game?

Doesn't matter whose fault it is... the national/local media looks for any excuse to go on about Favre.

Two points...

1) That was not Favre's fault. Driver was being tackled by his defender well before the ball got there.

2) FU McCarthy for not running the damn ball from the 1 when Buffalo has yet to show they can hold Green to anything less than 5 yards. Coaching kills.

Didn't Green have 2 TD's from inside the 5 yard line last week? I know the run game isn't as great this week, but it's 1 yard, you have to try and muscle it in.

Green Bay looked better in just about every category today, EXCEPT TURNOVERS.

Gawd they're killers.

Regardless of whether it was Favre's fault or not...but why throw the ball at the 1 yard when the Packer RB's were pretty much having their way in the second half? Idiotic.Glad i'm not a fan of the Pack...this is the kind of loss that stings.

 

[UncleMeat]

Sean Payton would've run on the 1.

Did you even read point #2?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

GB the Bills not turning the ball over and getting 4 takeaways and a defensive TD. Losman didn't play well and McGahee got knocked out early. Defense won this game even though they gave up a ton of yards.

Yes, but Favre threw a 1-yd TD and ran a 1-yd TD on a scramble. I think the last 4 times they've reached the 1, they've attempted to throw.

 

[Biabreakable]

The Slack have a long historical tendency of throwing the ball from short distance at the GL. They have been doing this for as long as Favre has been thier Qb pretty much.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with it. Just that Green Bush has been doing this for a long long time. I think the only time they went away from letting Favre throw the ball in from short distance more than 50% of thier GL ops was when Favre had that thumb injury and Ahman Green had his career year.

How badly hurt is McGahee?

the tv coverage was horrible and I don't think they ever updated us on his status.trainers looked like they were checking out his lower back to me.

They certainly stalled, but I did hear them announce a rib injury, x-rays, and out the rest of the game.

 

[GroveDiesel]

ATrain reborn?

He has looked very good when he has played IMO. A lot of people made fun of the Bills for signing him and for making him the backup. Looks like he wasn't washed up after all.Nice grind it out win for the Bills. It wasn't pretty at all, but they hung in there and got the job done. The major thing was a lack of turning the ball over. Losman has been killing them with the fumbles and INTs. Funny how when you don't turn the ball over you win games.

 

[tandl71]

And who wants to put money on Thomas scoring a TD this game? McGahee is allergic to the endzone.

Winner!

I hope McGahee's OK, and apparently it's his ribs and not his knee. Frankly, however, as my RB2 he is fantasy poison and it wouldn't be a big loss.

 

[MrPack]

should've just handed it to ahman..please? :(

Whoever called that pass play should be fired tomorrow.They were running at will against these clowns. Pathetic loss, simply pathetic.

Damn ####### The play calling is atrocious at the goal line and I want someone fired over this.

bills fans had visions of mularkey calling passing plays every down from the 3 yard line in BUF last year, ruining mcgahee's value...for once, they benefit from one of those asinine calls.

No hate I like Farve, but try and win instead of going after records which he is obviously doing! Ahman Green is on fire but he never gets the ball on the one yard line! Its a joke throwing on first down and goal, BUT NOT A SURPRISE ITS THE PACKERS DOING IT.

Brett Favre doesn't call the plays and he didn't make that pathetic playcall near the end of the game. Mike McCarthy did.In fact, Mike McCarthy has stated he probably will not call that play again. WTF are they doing calling a slant pattern when you have 1st and goal at the one yard line.(and his name is spelled Favre)From JSOnline...

Though he did not second-guess himself completely, McCarthy said his decision to throw the ball on first and goal from the Buffalo 1 late in the fourth quarter wasn't ideal.The slant pass he called to Donald Driver was tipped and intercepted in the end zone by safety Ko Simpson, who ran it back 76 yards to set up Buffalo's clinching touchdown."After seeing it on film, my job's to put the players in position to be successful, and a run probably would have been a safer call," McCarthy said. "But there's nothing wrong with the call. I probably won't call it again. But it's a play I've won a game with, and a play that potentially cost us the game."
