Game 5: Packers @ Buccaneers - Sunday, October 18th, 3:25PM

They have to win this quarter to have a chance at winning the game. One step at a time.

[PinaMadness]

I had the Packers at 2-4 after 6 games (with losses @Vikings, @Saints, @Bucs, and @Texans). As long as they stay healthy and take care of business next week, I’m still happy with this start.

 

 

Same here. This doesn't feel like the 49'ers game to me. They're getting beat, but they're beating themselves(namely #12). That's just not going to happen often.

 

They do need to make a move at the deadline I believe.

100% this.

[HiAndTight]

Giving up the 14 points on the picks was more than this team could stand on the road against a good team, I am a little annoyed that the team seems to be giving up just like they did on those west coast stinkers last year.

 

It's a little disturbing that this team seems to respond very poorly in the face of any adversity. When things are going well, they cruise. When things go wrong on them, they tend to snowball.

Honestly, the haven’t lost often under MLF. I don’t think you can make that conclusion just yet. Just trying to put things in perspective. Sometimes good teams lose when they play other good teams on the road.

 

 

That's true. I think it's more the way the game unfolds when the Packers get behind. They're not good vs the run and Tampa has a good pass rush...and we really haven't seen the right side of that OL tested.

 

But they cannot give up points on this first drive.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

There is just no pressure on Brady. None.

They have a massive need for a middle linebacker.

Probably the single biggest weakness on the team.

Thanks for not going for it, Arians.

There are a handful of MLB'ers who actually make a difference. Guys with speed like White or David. I don't see anyone like that coming available. I think it'll be far easier to upgrade the DL with just anyone who's not named Tyler.

[PinaMadness]

Wow, Arians is playing it close to the vest. I would've went for it.

[adambr2]

Looked like it was headed about 15 yards to the right and of course he nails it.

[HiAndTight]

Thanks for not going for it, Arians.

 

 

Yeah...that's kinda a gift for the Packers. If they give the ball to Jones there, I think it's about a 90 pct chance they convert. Would have been nice if they'd have missed that FG.

 

Now just come out and try to get a score without getting it all in one shot. I don't care if it takes a 7 minute drive, run the ball and mix it up like they were doing early.

Lancaster is ruled out with a shoulder. Things are finally starting to go our way.

I don't even know who his replacement is but he cannot possibly be worse.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Lol. Just get on the plane.

[adambr2]

And of course we start with an outside pitch.

[OldHeidelberg]

We did have 2 first round picks and maybe could have moved up to draft White. Not complaining about Gary or Savage but sometimes when you have a long term issue you have to take a shot and go get that guy.

Good...force them to address the issue....

 

And Bahk is out. That's something that could derail the rest of the season. And it doesn't look good the way he's moving(or not moving).

Adams?

Aaaaaaand it's gone.

[adambr2]

Do we have any sort of offensive gameplan today?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Not to beat a dead horse but we're down 21 and Jones has 11 yards on 8 carries. Try something else.

 

This game feels nostalgic.

 

Rodgers = Favre

 

Brady = Brad Johnson

 

Suh = Sapp.

Yup...it's can only get worse from here. Bahk looked bad walking off the field.

[lcbj68c]

Another scoop of vanilla please.

[PinaMadness]

I wish this was a night game so I could go to bed at my usual time.

It seemed like it was working pretty good early on. When you hand a team 14 points when their defense can't get off the field, it changes things a little bit. I think the gameplan kinda flew out the window after that second quarter.
