Thursday Night Football 2014
- Thread starter Playoffs
- Start date
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Haaaaaaaa.... we gots football.
On that first & ten than Rodgers changed it to a run play... I wonder what the heck he was looking at that made him think that was a good idea.
I didn't expect Peppers to be playing OLB. I figured he'd be their Jj Watt & play the 5 tech.

Wow gotta fair catch
If that were us we'd be talking about how bad a team we are, how Sam Shields shouldn't be starting & Clinton Dix would be deemed a bust.
Gotta run him out of town.

I think Shields did about as good as he could with no help. If he stays with the WR then Wilson get s a nice gain by running...just a well executed offensive play.

Got JJ?
It's been a while since I've seen this kind of blocking downfield. Seattle is getting up the field and laying out the Packer secondary at will. Combine that with a Marshawn Lynch in the backfield and Russell Wilson has easy money.
& the Packers can't make a hole. Rodgers just chewed out his center.
Great game so far... what a way to open the season

Got JJ?
Lol, poor rookie. He's sweating beads right now. Earlier I think I saw him ask his left guard what the snap count was.
The Packers suck.
Seattle just going to run the ball now.... Packers can't stop them.

see what a great defense and mediocre qb play gets you? Just ask seattle
I see what you did there.

Peppers looked like a shell of himself for most of the game.

I really love the first Thursday night of the regular season. I look forward to it all week. There's something extra special about the anticipation of the first real game. But it doesn't quench your thirst...does it?
It's kind of like sneaking a few french fries on your way home after getting take out.
Now I can't wait for the first real Sunday of the season. You sit in "your spot" at 11:59am, the day is young and bright, and like a starting gun it's on!
Remote control set on both channels with others programmed in your brain for fast channel surfing, computer on. Game breaks begin to filter in with all the highlights from so many games.
And you're there, metaphorically eating the meal you went out for in the first place.
What french fries?
Come Sunday, welcome to the fun part, fellers.

Rodgers looked like a shell of himself. I don't know what it was, or can't quite put my finger on it, but that guy used to look like a magician with some of the things he used to do. The ball still looked like it was shot out of a cannon & he still looked purty darn accurate. But it's like a hundredth of a second slower & a hair off.
I'd still take him over Fitzpatrick but y'know. .. hopefully he'll shake it off.
This is the same D that dismantled Peyton so yeah, I'm thinking they could get Rodgers off his game too.

Agree.
Seattle's secondary was covering tight all game. Packers OL was pathetic. Lacy and Starks did the best they could but had no help. With no threat in the run game and an OL who can't give the QB time you have no chance against these guys.

Undisciplined, the Packers looked like they were still in preseason mode, while the Sealants looked like they were ready for the postseason.

Answer: NONE. Seattle DBs get away with stuff like the old NFL. Everyone else is playing under new rules.
Ab-So-LUTE Genius!

They got call for PI a couple plays before the Kuhn TD. It's what set up that TD.

I didn't see that at all, I just saw good coverage all night long. Their secondary is loaded with talent.
Marshall

Oh! You included the mugging that has ALWAYS been called.I'm thinking about the ticky tack fouls that everyone else is being called for, but Seattle gets away with. It's definitely a double standard.
You're talking about in the preseason right?
I could have sworn they said they were going to put extra emphasis on it in the preseason, but it wasn't going to be called that way in the regular season... which started last night.
Marshall

I'm including what everyone else is being called for the last two years as well as in pre season.

No...one of thier lbs got caught trying to cover Cobb downfield & mugged him.
Those dudes just know how to cover...period.

Not to mention the Packers were simply beat going in. They didn't even try Sherman. They put their 3rd receiver over there and stopped using half the field right from the start. Hawks had the edge before the game kicked off with a gameplan like that especially since that is the side Rodgers throws deep to the most. Checkmate Seattle.

You're being ridiculous this morning. It was a well played and officiated game. Neither team got "ticky tack" fouls.
If you're including preseason play maybe both teams should have benched their good players and played all the scrubs. Then you would have seen flags galore...like in PRE-season.

I agree here...you can't play the game scared and the Pack refused to even look towards Sherman's side so it seemed.
yep. I think the Seahawks could repeat this year. The cycle in the NFL is every 10-15 years for a back-to-back champion to establish a dynasty. I see no reason at this point that Seattle could not be that team.

That is exactly the opposite of what the NFL said which was it was not some sort of preseason only officiating.

It's only one game and honestly the Seattle offense hasnt really impressed me, even in their SB run. If they can run and throw all over stout defenses like the Rams and the Cards then I think the repeat is on but the Packers defense has been broken for awhile now.

I hear Wade Phillips is available...

I thought the rookie C had a good game -- Lindsley. RT Sherrod was horrid, though, recalling 2013 Derek Newton. LT not much better. Marshawn Lynch looked very quick, and Percy wasn't being used in a manner that indicated any fear of injury.
TheIronDuke

If I was a team I'd have no problem bringing Phillips in. But just for 2 years then I'd let him go. He should be a mercenary DC.

Their team is predicated on strong defense with efficient offense. They don't have to dominate offensively to win, however you must admit with a healthy Percy Harvin they are more dangerous.
But I do agree they won't repeat since we're going 19-0
