Packer fan thoughts

[MarkinAZ]

Relieved to see the Packers pulled through in todays game again the Bears, but couldn't quite understand the bonehead call on 4th down when the Packers attempted a "trick" play and the Bears recovered. Jeeez, let's just play football and punt the damned ball and cover appropriately.

This is a must game for the Packers and you don't need to be attempting "trick" plays period this late in the 4th Qrt.

Happy to see they took the NFC North again...

We are the champions.
We'll see how far we go with our place-kicking capabilities.
I liked Jimmy Johnson's analogy. Kickers get replaced when they get the yips. You don't know if it lasts a month or a year, but a playoff run is not the time to be trying to work your way out of it.

I was originally watching the Giants/Falcons game, when Fox decided to switch to the Packers/Bears game (to my delight). So Crosby missed 2 attempts today?

Missed badly on his first attempt and doinked another off the upright. I know his last 15 attempts or so, maybe 3 went through the middle of the uprights. He definitely has some issues, either mechanical or mentally.

Had an "conversation" on facebook about how poorly he's doing right now. I was basically told that if I felt that way, I should try to do better. Pay me 1.65 million dollars this year and I will definitely try!

I don't think they have a helmet to fit you.

Funny, I've heard that a lot.

You know, I don't know if he could play football. Is there a Jewish law somewhere? I am not trying to be funny, but curious.

I do not know of any Jewish football player - ever. Is/Was there one?

I know that cartoon's not Crosby. That cartoon is kicking what he's aiming for...

Good grief, they went full retard on that play. I honestly can't say what upset me more; the first miss by Crosby or that play.

I'm all about going for it on fourth down or throwing some trickfoolery in there. They scream about Tomlin being aggressive every week. I'm 100% behind him, you gotta play your odds, stick your neck out, nothing ventured nothing gained, all that stuff. Football requires balls.
There was no call for that play whatsoever. They didn't need it, it wasn't strategic, and all it could have done is served them up a loss.
Personally, I threw up, swore at the tv, and texted Stephen to make sure he hadn't run head-first through his tv.

I thought maybe they wanted to try out the play in a live situation to see if their gadgetry worked. That didn't even make sense. It tipped their hand to the whole league and now they can't possibly drag it out if they need it during their playoff run.

There's only one answer. Crack pipe.
(Really I think the coaching staff just got caught up thinking too hard and made a silly mistake. McCarthy probably can't come up with an answer, either. Someone should have jerked his headset off.)

Didn't get to see any of the game out this way, but it must of been enjoyable to watch at Lambeau Field today. Seeing the score so far on Fox: Packers 55, Titans 7

My son streamed it on the computer for us to watch while in FL. That's the way the games are supposed to go. Stress-free.

We were kinda ticked they lost the shut out in the closing minutes.

...You get a little relaxed and that stuff happens Tim.

Gonna be a good game next week with the Packers playing the Vikings in Minnesota. I think we'll get that game on FOX out this way since its a NFC North Black and Blue game

Come on, didn't you pay attention to the coverage? They were protecting about the long ball.

Son, Nathan, and one of his buddies went to the game.

They said they had a blast, the crowd was absolutely stoked.
