Open Thread: Green Bay at New Orleans
Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints, Nov 24, 2008 7:30 PM CST
Green Bay Packers at New Orleans Saints
Monday, November 24th, 2008
7:30pm CST, ESPN
This is an open thread for the game.
Packers: QB Brian Brohm (3rd), WR James Jones, LB Nick Barnett, OT Breno Giacomini, DB Charlie Peprah, RB DeShawn Wynn, OL Allen Barbre, DE Jeremy Thompson. Analysis: CB Charles Woodson is active and will start, as expected. WR Jordy Nelson will see time in the slot with Jones out. Saints: QB Joey Harrington (3rd), RB Reggie Bush, WR David Patten, FB Mike Karney, LB Jo-Lonn Dunbar, CB Aaron Glenn, CB David Pittman, OT Jermon Bushrod. Analysis: Bush is inactives, so RB Deuce McAllister will start and share carries with RB Pierre Thomas. The latter figures to be the better bet for fantasy points. WR Marques Colston is active and will start, as expected.
No surprises for the Packers. Barnett is done for the season after his knee injury. Jones is healthy, but the Packers have only had 4 WRs active for most of the games this season. WR Ruvell Martin gets the nod over Jones this week. I don't know what that nonsense about "WR Jordy Nelson will see time in the slot with Jones out." Nelson has been ahead of Jones all of 2008. Thompson is still out with a groin injury. Again this week they've kept only two RBs active and Wynn is inactive.
The big news is that RB Reggie Bush is again inactive. He's been almost back from injury the past two weeks. It looks like the Saints will have to wait another week.

Adopted Giant: Daryl Maday - The roller coaster ride continues - Augusta to Norwich to San Jose, the latter of which has been a success so far. 1.59 ERA.
I liked it
because it followed the same quick-handoff to the FB on 1st down
most NFL teams wouldn’t expect the exact same play twice in a row, especially when you involve a relative nobody like Kuhn, so good call by McCarthy and nice finish by Rodgers/Grant (faking the pitch right)

Special teams is always key...
we got a short field thanks to special teams…Frost with a good punt (48 yards)…now let’s get good coverage and win the battle for field position
It helps
I was checking on Football Outsiders. The Saints have a poor punt coverage unit while the Packers punt return unit is pretty good. But the Saints have arguably the best punt return unit this season. Unfortunately that’’s due to Reggie Bush, who isn’t playing tonight.
okay guys, over under on interceptions is
2 1/2…over or under?
bad bad bad bad bad

Blitz
That’s why I hate the blitz. Too often the blitzer doesn’t get there, Charles Woodson blitzed and didn’t get there that time. Bigby took a bad angle and there was no one else. That Packers rarely blitz, so I’m surprised they tried it with Woodson.
bigby
horrible angle it seems…or something…and nick collins our last line of defense was blocked out
just keep woodson all over lance moore
and they kid won’t breathe…he will choke the life out of him…dont blitz him
no one
and that was a horible series
this does not bode well

Rodgers
Aaron’s missed a couple receivers. Jennings on the last drive. Now Lee on the slant. Lee was open.
it's been noticeable
I don’t know what the issue is, but something seems off in the passing game.
either Rodgers isn’t using his mechanics properly or the recievers’ timing is off. Either one is a huge problem.

they seem...
a step short and a few marbles short on defense…offense ain’t that much better…
let me correct myself...
a hot knife through melting butter…
Typical run against the Packers
The defensive tackles do nothing, the linebackers get blocked, and there’s a big cut back lane for the running back. It’s been happening all year.
I suspect
that it has a lot to do with Cullen Jenkins being out
at end, he was big and strong enough to either merit a double team or push his man back on running plays, which creates more room for the DT’s to take up rather than offensive linemen

ARdoge sure went upfield fast
dont’ think the trusts the right side of the line…
Derrick Frost needs to be fired.
What a horrible personnel move. Ryan was a beast.
"Get up, get up, get outta' here, GONE!!!"
They tried
They auditioned a bunch of guys a few weeks ago, but Frost beat them out. It’s just a cold free agent market right now.
the theory is you never
…lose yards runing the ball in the zone blocking scheme
ryan grant
is hitting his stride late in the season
i sincerely hope McCarthy harnesses it

Weird thing...
Saints have 3 carries for 3 yards…but 101 yards passing against our number 2 rated pass defense….
whowouldathunkit
lets look at some numbers, shall we?
Aaron Rodgers is 4/9 for 46 yards. At least three of those incompletions were surefire 20+ yard gains where Rodgers made a poor throw to an open reciever. He needs to settle down.
Ryan Grant has 55 yards on 11 touches. Keep it up, young man.
Drew Brees is already over 100 yards. If the defense can get it together and cover/take angles properly, they can limit those opportunities for New Orleans.
On to the second quarter!

haha...
that drive was saawwweet…72 yards about 5 minutes TOP
The Packers are gonna win.
Both of the Saints scores were flukes. They dont look like they can stop the packers.
"Get up, get up, get outta' here, GONE!!!"
I agree...
I think that lance moore touchdown was a fluke and our secondary will step up….
And Arodge is just too accurate to keep missing these open passes….
the defense
needs to make sure they execute properly and not get caught out of position again
otherwise, i will agree with you

by Mitchell Maurer on Nov 24, 2008 8:32 PM CST reply actions
I missed the TD
Who calls at 2.30 in the morning, for god’s sake??
So what happened please?
Blitz
I was critical of it earlier, but they have to dial it up with the LBs more. They aren’t getting to Brees and the LBs aren’t great in coverage anyway. They can give them all the passes to the TE and RBs they want. Keep it away from their wide receivers.
it would probably help
if brees wasn’t hitting recievers at better than a 90% completion rating

slicing and dicing us...
10 out 11 brees, for 160 yards
So what's the solution?
Bring more guys or flood the backfield? At the moment it’s not enough of either.
good golly miss molly
to quote Led Zeppellin, we loook “dazed and confused” out there….
I guess we know why mccarthy is blitzing…Brees is standing back there like a statue all day long…we cant cover ’em forever…
the thing i just noticed about lance moore
when he stretched out to get the score, the ball hit the ground with his hand on the side of it…but when the ball hit the ground, he didn’t lose it
lance moore has some BIG friggin hands. He’s also clearly got dangerous speed. something needs to be done about this
"I'm so clean, cats think I sip Ajax."
by Mitchell Maurer on Nov 24, 2008 8:37 PM CST reply actions
I bet he could do a killer
vulcan nerve pinch…
Actually...
remember when New Orleans drafter Robert Meacham? during spring camp or training camp, Lance Moore outclassed MEacham…and we see now that Meachem is no where to be found and lance moore is really now Brees goto guy
what
the bloody hell
was that
did jordy nelson just not see the guy? Or did # 58 just not feel like blocking anymore?

under 3 minutes to go...
this is the 14TH PLAY IN THE DRIVE COMING UP
oopos 2 minute warning...
I like that we are resting our defense…I think we have held the ball for about 18 minutes this half…saints about 9 minutes
Eventually that will have an effect on their defense.
Hopefully we will capitalize.
"Get up, get up, get outta' here, GONE!!!"
If the Packers
can use their time wisely and score a TD inside two minutes, thus limiting New Orleans’ opportunity to get a score of their own before halftime, they will be in good position at the half

Arodge is creeping toward
normalcy…after starting up 4 out 9, he is 10 out 16 (or 6 out of his last 7)
this third down is crucial
it gives the pack a chance to tie it up if they convert
conversely, if they are limited to a field goal, that gives N’Awlins far too much time left on the clock, even if they only have one timeout left

how is that not intentional grounding?
because the saints are at home
i sincerely believe that the intentional grounding against minnesota that became a safety was more a result of Minny being at home than anything. not to say it was a bad call…i’m just saying if it were at lambeau, it may have been a non-call

man...
I need a drink…something strong grabs a glass of soy milk
so it's 24-21 at the half
time to look at some more numbers!
Drew Brees is 13/16 for 194 yards and two TD’s. Dude’s simply on fire, but the pass defense isn’t playing up to snuff either.
Ryan Grant has 83 yards on 19 touches. Not bad, but the team needs to stick with him, especially on early downs. It’s just working today.
Aaron Rodgers has calmed down considerably, overcoming a horrid start to end up with 108 yards on 11/17 passing, including one TD. He also has 3 carries for 19 yards and another TD on the ground. So long as he sorts himself out at halftime, I think he’ll continue to play at the high standard he’s set for himself.
The Saints are averaging 9.2 yards per offensive play, compared to 5.0 for Green Bay. This needs to swing the other way ::giggle:: for the Packers to get a win.
What else do you guys think?
"I'm so clean, cats think I sip Ajax."
by Mitchell Maurer on Nov 24, 2008 9:10 PM CST reply actions
dont forget special teams!
three times we gave them GREAT field position (twice due to returns, once because of a bad punt)
we also have zero turnovers and zero penalties! wow
Oh and also...
I forgot to mention that the time of possession in the first was about 20 minutes (us) versus 10 minutes (them) and we are running the ball more so maybe we can wear them out…other than that, I’m fully expecting to throw all the stats out the window and witness some unpredictable second half
There we go!
thats how you improve your special teams…just have Crosby boom ’em out

Aaron Rodgers looks unsettled
and I don’t know if it’s a problem with his mechanics, bad timing with/by the recievers, or a general lack of experience, or a combination thereof.
All I know is that Rodgers is better than this and he can learn from his mistakes like other great QB’s have.

it didn’t help that Rodgers threw it to the inside shoulder, where David was just begging him to put it. Bad decision on his part

our boy may have had his difficulties in coverage, but he’s already got 9 tackles, a sack, and that booming hit on Moore that forced the interception

once again
bad timing between Rodgers and Jennings.
I’d love to know what happened to those two

ugh
Charles Woodson bit on the double move
a player who’s been in the NFL longer than three seasons should NEVER EVER EVER bite on the double move like that

72-90 - TIMMY FOR CY YOUNG!!!
Adopted Giant: Daryl Maday - The roller coaster ride continues - Augusta to Norwich to San Jose, the latter of which has been a success so far. 1.59 ERA.

ANOTHER missed route between rodgers and jennings
seriously, they need to spend the week hopping around in a potato sack or something to get their connection back

that was an awful throw that he's lucky to have dropped by Randall Gay
Dear Aaron Rodgers,
FOLLOW THROUGH ON YOUR THROWS BY PUSHING OFF YOUR BACK FOOT.
Love,
Mitchell

…you guys are still sticking around for the massacre…kinda like turkey necking an accident eh? lol you guys are hardcore.
there's still 15 minutes of football left
so long as a comeback is mathematically possible, i’ll stick around. especially since i don’t get to watch packer football often; i have to cherish it regardless of it’s suckitude

So for the first time...the first time really...
I kinda miss not seeing number 4 under center…
let's see a touchdown here and...
still a three score game…
i'm fine with it
Favre had more than enough of these types of games

Actually, put Derrick Frost in there for the kickoff.
he is a MASTER of kicking the ball short.

quick question:
is Drew Brees a cyborg sent from the future to destroy NFL passing records?
his stat line as of now: 20/26, 323 yards, and 4 TD’s. That’s nasty.

by Mitchell Maurer on Nov 24, 2008 10:24 PM CST reply actions
he is about
3,500 pass ing yards…and another td…embarassing
...
still mathematically possible (I think)

dare I say it...
the Packers SUCK at tackling? didn’t we see this in the minnesota game?
this is just
a tad bit douchey
despite them not getting it
talk about a massive show of disrespect
when you’re pounding an opponent, you don’t go for two when you’re up by 2

Jennings ....
with a respectable 8 catches for 101 yards…saints playing way off, letting the packers pick up 5 here 10 there…
miserable...
3rd and final interception hopefullly…its Flynn time
how in the world....
…does a team regroup after something like this?
I'm done
This inconsitency is killing me. we’re great one week and shitty the next. The only way I can see us getting into the playoffs is winning all of our next 5 games (10-6) and maybe, maybe making it with a 4-1 record (9-7.) Right now, at this moment, there is no way in hell that this team can do that against Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Caroline and Jacksonville.No gimmes there except maybe Detroit. Looks pretty grim, but then again, I’m pretty friggin’ upset right now. Ugh and more ugh. If I had one word for this game it would probably be shit. Because that’s what we’ve played like. UGH.

my biggest regret
is starting Aaron Rodgers over Drew Brees this week.
seriously, when did the Packers’ defense turn into the Lions’?

by Mitchell Maurer on Nov 24, 2008 10:41 PM CST reply actions
the only bright side is ....
Chicago lost by 34 points and then turned oaround this week and won by 3 touchdowns…so turn arounds can be done
so what did we learn?
drew brees is a frickin’ juggernaut
more to follow in my postgame musings
have a good rest of the night, all. Things will get better.

yeah juggernaut alright...
Man to me this was the tale of two halfs…the first half I thought our offense was pretty friggin solid, we won the time of possession battle, we were even with them in yards…ryan grant had over 60 yards russing at the half…but our special teams let us down bad..
The second half, forget it…two early turnovers and then they just tee’d off on us and attacked us…we became one dimensional on offense and the rest is history.
But also, like you said, Breeze was on target…he didn’t make a single imprecise pass…everything was on a rope, a laser…
