Always seems to throw to his receivers like they’re 8 feet tall early on.

WTF is McFatty doing
Long passes are the exact OPPOSITE of what you do against heavy blitz…run the ball, screens, something. Is he trying to get Rogers killed? MORON.
Playing the Steelers isn't THAT hard
They blitz on damn near every down, especially since they don’t know us too well and all they know about Green Bay is “LOL OLINE SUX” so Rodgers just needs to read where the blitz is coming from and throw there, or we need McCarthy to call short passes and screens to pick up the YAC.
2 plays, 2 first downs
Sheesh

This is a team
that lost to the Chiefs, Raiders, and Browns just last week.
We’ve already given up more points than Cleveland did all last week. WTF, Packers.
Not as easy as their first one.
So that’s an improvement. I guess.

Establish a running game please?
It feels like they are out of control
listen to Joe and Troy
they make it sound like the late hit was a good play by them… It was hard work
Not especially
“He worked hard for that hit and he was gonna get it”

And these guys were bitching about Finley getting more balls thrown his way. Until they start making these, they need to STFU about Finley.

Defense is doing all you can ask
But to what effect?
Is it BS when
used to rank the Packers D?
Yep
It’s definitely misleading. The Packers D is good, huge improvement from last year but I don’t feel like it’s as high a ranking as they give it. We give up a lot of redzone touchdowns and rank only 8th in the league in points allowed (tied with Minnesota). That’s more accurate, in my opinion.
Yards don’t win you football games, points do.
What do yawning and drops in football have in common?
Both are contagious.

is it me or is this game taking forever?
we still have 7+ minutes left in the 2nd
It's not you.
The 49ers-Eagles game has 4:25 left in the second, and that is the second slowest game.

thought so
we havent had too many late games but I thought they are usually at half by now
Four of the late games are at the half or in the final minute of the second quarter.
This game is taking forever.

Get Bishop in there more on blitz packages
he’s a better blitzer than Jones. Jones is better in coverage though.
As of right now,
Aaron Rodgers is the leading rusher on the Packers with one carry for 14 yards.

Your defense gets a big assist
"We're used to Favre-a-palooza now. We're engulfed in Favre-a-palooza. It's not even Favre-a-palooza anymore. He's family now."
--Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe, on Brett Favre
The NFL is a joke...
What’s the point of having reviews if you have crooked, incompetent or cowardly referees who can’t or won’t make the call correctly?? Wallaces left foot wasn’t on the ground until he landed out of bounds. Roethlesburger fumbled.
And how many times does the Steeler offensive line get away with holding our pass rushers with no call??
Note to ViQueen fan…no one on this site cares.
So, here's some advice I wish I woulda got when I was your age: Live every week like it's Shark Week.
Pack - Steelers
Why wasn’t there a 10 second runoff when Pitt’s tackle PItts had a false start? There was :43 seconds left and they just administered the penalty without a runoff. Is that the correct call?
