Packers-Browns Game Blog

12:03 PM: Here we go. Penalty on the first play. How can hitting the pylon be out of bounds when if you touch it running the ball it is a touchdown?

12:20 PM: The only team that can beat the Packers is the Packers. Failure to convert on 4th and inches is not a good start. And now a wasted challenge costing a timeout. It was close, but I wouldn’t have challenged, not enough evidence to overturn – you couldn’t see the ball. We need a turnover now.

12:50 PM: Wow, Spencer Havner? A 45-yard TD pass and the Packers are out in front. Nice defensive stand but another special teams penalty. 12-men this time. Hard to believe, now the Browns have a first down. That is pure coaching. 10 bucks says the Browns score on this drive now.

1:02 PM: Sweet! 71 yard TD pass to Driver! The veteran Driver didn’t have the flat out speed to get in the zone but his savvy got him all the way. A great stiff-arm got him just enough distance to score. Packers 14, Browns 3. Not quite game over, but close. Nice game plan to run the ball the first quarter, opening up the passing game. Why didn’t I think of that?

1:31 PM: A solid first half – 21-3. No shutout though so there is room for improvement. Rodgers needs to work on his accuracy, two imcompletions in the first half. We get the ball to start the second half so lets pour it on.

1:55 PM:  Here comes the penalties – cost the Packers points. Lee with an illegal contact call and now a dropped pass. Browns have great field position after a missed 55-yard field goal. Bad call there, the Packers just gave the Browns life.

3:22 PM:  Finally, complete and total domination. The Packers best game of the year. Two shitty teams but we beat them by a combined 57-3. The Packers ran the ball well, passed the ball well and did what they had to do. Bring on the Vikings.

    Stpid challenge agian by Mike- no way they ever turn a play that close

  • Cody

    if capers does not allow Harris and Woodson to play man press coverage then is is a retarded man and belongs in an institution, not on the sideline calling the shots.

  • Mel e Mel

    MM is going to chose today to run the ball against a team with banged up corners my o my what a joke.

  • Oddball

    pa-TANG!!!!!!!!!

    crap

  • Luke

    WTF kind of kick was that

  • Mel e Mel

    The refs just took a TD away from Pittsburgh wow they really worship the vikes

  • cdk4205

    play calling is pathetic

    guess he wants to show improvement

  • cdk4205

    Finally a play action pass.

  • Luke

    beautiful play

  • Luke

    wow! Crosby almost hits the left upright- never seen worse PAT’s from any kicker

  • cdk4205

    The only way to lose this game is to play soft on offense and defense – finally they showed some aggressiveness on offense – now to execute on defense!

  • zach

    This is a ridiculous display of football.

  • Oddball

    Happy to see you lose that ten bucks, Al. Looks like we’re going to have to try even a little harder to beat ourselves this week. Something tells me the Browns won’t allow it.

  • Oddball

    Donald – what can you say?

  • PackerPete

    is it just me or are the afc throwback unis absolutely retarded?

    The broncos look absolutely stupid, the chiefs have the state of texas on thier helmets, the titans have houston oilers while there is currently a completely different team in houston now.

    I think this is insulting to both sets of fans.

    what an absolutely retarded concept this is.

  • PackerPete

    this a$$hole McCarthy has to simply resign.

    He is as unimaginitive a play caller as I have seen.

    When does even a retard realize that his concepts are not the answer.

    TRY SOMETHING NEW!!!!!!

    Let Quinn block on the goalline.

    Bench KUHN at the goalline!!!

    GD it, I dont like following my favorite NFL team simply to be frustrated to the point of anger EVERY WEEK!!!!

    Get rid of this idiot coach right now!!!!

  • PackerPete

    here is an example.

    clv is one of the worst nfl run defenses.

    he comes out and runs it 9 of first 10 plays.

    even a bad nfl defense can add an extra player to shore up thier weakness if there is no other threats.

    you dont simply assume that you can run wild on an nfl team without setting it up appropriately.

    pass a little to let them know they have to respect it, then you can exploit thier weaknesses.

    Play to your strengths, like the GB passing game until the other team realizes they have to account for it, then you can fully exploit thier weakness, run defense, when they cannot shore it up schematically.

    McCarthy is simply a poor strategic coach.

  • Oddball

    I have to admit it –

    If I never see that BS so called misdirection fullback handoff again, I’ll be a happier man.

  • http://jlworden1suddenlink.net LarryTex

    Now I’m really convinced, you guys are a bunch of friggin idiots. A 31 -3 lead and I’ve never seen so much bitching. Absolute fools, and these posts completely prove it!!!!!

  • doug r

    Does mason Crosby suck or am I missing something?

  • http://jlworden1suddenlink.net LarryTex

    Yeah, I know 21, thats how nuts I think you guys are.

  • PackerPete

    crawl back in your hole Kotex breath

  • Oddball

    C’mon LT – Tell me you liked that fullback plunge on the goal line. Please. Try to say that with a straight face.

  • http://jlworden1suddenlink.net LarryTex

    Typical response, PEEPEE!

  • http://jlworden1suddenlink.net LarryTex

    Open your eyes Oddball, you know exactly what MM is doing.

  • Oddball

    Yeah, I know. Pound the ball. Build some confidence.

    I just hate that particular play with a passion.

  • http://jlworden1suddenlink.net LarryTex

    Oddball, I cant see the game, only the stat updates. Whats the makeup of the OL so far? Thanks!

  • PackerPete

    well, McCarthy has had 3 quarters to see the clv defense.

    After this cleveland possession, lets see what kind of play calling he goes for.

    He needs to orchestrate a scoring drive to ice this game and eat some clock.

    NO long passes, a good mix of run and pass, inside, outside, some slants, some crossing routes, ball control, move the chains.

    Lets see if has a clue on situational play calling.

    I have lost all faith that he will handle this correctly, but lets see.

    Great stand D!!! assignment sure, good effort from all.

  • Oddball

    The line actually looks pretty good for the most part. Not much of a pass rush coming. Grant is running through some holes. No sacks.

    Lang
    Colledge
    Wells
    Sitton
    Barbre

  • PackerPete

    hey Larry, lets agree to bury the hatchet.

    My initial comment about the co-tex thing was not aimed at you, but at your adversary who necessitated you to add to your screen name.

    I will apologize for my most recent comment, it was uncalled for.

    Hopefully my olive branch will be received by you.

    Lets just enjoy some intelligent exchange about Packer football without the personal affronts.

  • PackerPete

    TT is a genius.

    We never needed Tony Gonzales, we have Spencer Havner.

  • PackerPete

    Is James Jones still on the team?

  • Oddball

    Ask and you will receive, Pete.

  • PackerPete

    I have answers…

    scoring drive when we needed it, with a good mix of plays, maybe we have a chance next week.

    JJ has made an appearance… TD!!

  • http://jlworden1suddenlink.net LarryTex

    You got it PP. I went off and shouldn’t have, sorry.
    Thanks Oddball, thats good news to me.

  • PackerPete

    Now all I need to see is Jennings become the dynamic impact player we all know he is.

  • PackerPete

    Thanks Larry, I just want to see the Pack excell, not fight with other Pack fans.

  • PackerPete

    Lets see if Flynn gets some time to run the offense.

    I mean sticking with the game plan and throw a little too.

    I would be disappointed if we see AR again today

  • PackerPete

    WOW!!!

    Queens get rear-speared!!

    LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!

  • PackerPete

    nice ball protection by faver!!!

    the second half turnover machine is just getting started!!

    wait until next week when he presses in Lambeau!!

  • PackerPete

    nice special teams effort by pitt.

    they must be trying to lose this game.

  • Oddball

    Nice to see a good run from Jackson – get some!

  • zach

    lol favre.

  • Rocky70

    “Scum-Lucky” just doesn’t do it against good teams…………. Late fumble & late INT by the Vikes QB dooms them………… Early BF Swoon ? ………. Could be.

  • Rocky70

    How smart is Chilly? …………… AP carries the ball 18 times & BF throws 50 passes…………. I’m glad he’s HC of the Vikes……..

    Now to watch the Bears bite the dust…………

  • Steve Cheez

    There’s the BF we’ve all been waiting to see. Great to see the IM back in late-season form.

  • Steve Cheez

    That’s the sweetest formation we run- Flynn behind two TEs, handing off to BJack.

  • Oddball

    We’re set for the comeback run. Win next week and the div title is definitely in play.

    Lose, and we’re looking up at the 7-1 Vikings having been swept. Now that would be revolting.

  • Steve Cheez

    I hate the ‘Queens.

  • jonnyfootballhero

    An almost perfect game. Can’t complain about anything today. I’m very impressed and feeling very good about the Packs chances next week, especially with home field. GO PACK GO!!
