I'm not sure if you noticed but our starting QB is out, our backup didn't know his own 3rd down call, and we have no running game.

Sack.

**** NFL rules, put Rodgers in.

We've been missing players all season long, this is nothing new.

McCarthy and Co. have to have their prepared each week. They just seem to come out and go through the motions while the Lions are playing with emotion. Poor preparation on our part IMO and that falls on the coaching staff. Our guys look lost out there.

I like what McCarthy does. Our team always feels like that Greg Jennings interception. The ball (and game) is just within our reach but when we really need it someone makes a mistake and gives the game away.

tjsunstein · 12-12-2010, 02:46 PM

We're very much in this. Just have to be smart about it. Our defense did us a favor the last couple drives.

Sportsfan486 · 12-12-2010, 02:47 PM

Come On! Come On! ******* Do This! Do This!

umphrey · 12-12-2010, 02:48 PM

I definitely feel like Flynn is much less likely to make a mistake and throw and interception now than when he was fresh off the bench, so there's hope...

cvv84 · 12-12-2010, 02:50 PM

****, we're gonna win this

Sportsfan486 · 12-12-2010, 02:51 PM

If this happens.. Atheism will cease to exist. The first ever televised Godly miracle

tjsunstein · 12-12-2010, 02:51 PM

Matt Flynn is pretty bad.

umphrey · 12-12-2010, 02:53 PM

terrible play calling there. the draw play on 2nd and 2 especially pissed me off and taking a shot at the end zone should have come on 3rd and 1 not 4th and 1

cvv84 · 12-12-2010, 02:53 PM

Gutsy call - if Aaron Rodgers was in at QB...

Yeah that made no sense considering how poorly our offensive line has been playing and that we've been moving the ball through the air with ease.

PackerLegend · 12-12-2010, 02:54 PM

I wish FOX would have just stayed frozen for me so I didnt have to watch this.

tjsunstein · 12-12-2010, 02:57 PM

I agree that the playcalling really killed our chances at the end. The draw as mentioned, the long pass. Just why. What was the thought process there? You didn't need to win the game on that play, just stay alive.

Sportsfan486 · 12-12-2010, 03:00 PM

I just don't see how we make the playoffs now. Rodgers coming off a concussion to face the Patriots, Giants, Bears? With how horribly the entire team played today? Our only hope is that the Giants and Bucs collapse down the stretch and we eke out another win or the Bears collapse down the stretch and we beat them week 17 and somehow win tiebreakers (which means the Bears HAVE to lose to Minny now. HAVE TO. Or they don't even need to win that game against us.)

I'm also going to go ahead and say **** YOU Greg Jennings. Two dropped TDs. Thanks man, good job. And McCarthy. Awful playcalling and no challenge on a possible TD. ******* idiot.

Its definetly a big blow. We faced an uphill battle to start with and now we'd need alot of help just to have a chance.

I like McCarthy but it just amazes me at how different this team plays at times. They don't seem motivated at all. With all these injuries we suffered I still feel like we are a much better team then how we have played.

Also just think if had Ryan Grant return against the Falcons like he said he could have. Are Donald Lee, Tom Crabtree, and Quinn Johnson that much more important? I know its a moot point and we couldn't wait on Grant to potentially return but those guys have given us little to nothing so far this season.

But oh well, I'm just going to enjoy the rest of the season reguardless. Things don't always go our way but there has been improvement.

Sportsfan486 · 12-12-2010, 03:12 PM

Grant said he could have returned? Are you kidding me? I didn't hear that.

Couple points on this game I'd like to mention since we're all miserable right now.

*Awful OLine play. Lions have a good DLine but they were down to a 3rd string End, yet we got manhandled

*Awful playcalling. "Hey, let's hand it off the Brandon "I NEVER get more then 3 yards and usually -1 or -2" Jackson at crucial moments

*Jennings. Followed up his hot games by completely flubbing this one. One super easy TD catch dropped (for an INT) and one very makeable but slightly more difficult TD catch dropped. Either would have been enough to win the game.

*Flynn. I am laughing my ass off at those of you who said he had trade value. Didn't even know the plays. Horrible accuracy. Mediocre arm. Looks confused, at best, out there.

*Slide.. god.. damnit... Rodgers. Dude. You were 10 yards past the 1st down. Slide. Also, it wasn't even a hard hit and your head hit the turf. THAT gives you a concussion? Do we have reason to be concerned for his career?

*Run defense. Really. That's how you guys roll, huh? Look, we kept them scoreless most of the game so not going to complain too much but come ON.

*McCarthy taking his challenges home to shove his dick in. Second week in a row a CRUCIAL play wasn't challenged with a very possible chance of overturning and we were left with 2 challenges and useless timeouts at the end of the game. It looked to me like the ball bounced off Jennings hands, into his chest, and he secured it. Didn't see many replays but from the 3 I saw that's what it looked like to me; a catch for a TD.

I also want to repeat, unless the Bears lose to us week 17 AND lose 2 more than us the rest of the way (ie lose to the Pats this week + 1 more + lose to us and we win 3 straight) they win the division.

Well here you go.

I don't think he'd be 100% but might've been able to help the RB by committee out and eventually work himself back up.

Yeah, injuries are part of the game. I get that. But you see just how much it's effected this team. We have 5 losses, with today's loss by 4 being the biggest of them all.

The importance of Grant, Finley, Burnett, Barnett, Bigby, Tausher, Brad Jones, and Rodgers today, equals to atleast 4 more points per game. Atleast. Hate us for being frustrated because that's all it is. Losing two starting safeties, your starting MLB, without your best DL in Jenkins, and key components of your offense, it's tough to watch. When looking for answers as to why we're losing these close games, you have to go directly to the injuries then playcalling. We had a chance to win today and our playcalling killed us on the last 3 plays but give us a healthy Rodgers, Grant, and Finley right there then we easily win. I know the Lions are banged up but we've beaten them the last 7+ times.

When a Packers fan posts, it's gonna be about injuries. It's our biggest storyline this year. What would you like us to post about? Please tell us so we can cater to your desires. In return, I don't want anymore Brady vs. Manning debates. No more Brett Favre anything. I'll think of more later but we'll start at that. Because that's how ridiculous it is to ask posters to not talk about the most important story of the season. Keep mocking us, but just understand that there have been more posts from non-packers about their injuries trying to be funny.

Yeah, I'm a little heated right now. This game represented our season.

princefielder28 · 12-12-2010, 03:27 PM

Injuries played a role in our loss today but poor play calling from Mike McCarthy was what cost us the game more than anything

Oh, meh, he's not even walking yet. Just wants to play. No team would have put him in that risk (we might have with Levens in '98 but times have changed with safety in the NFL.)

Really curious if someone else saw a better replay of the Jennings endzone drop or had TiVo or something and was able to get a good look at whether it was a catch or not. It's burning me up inside.

RockJock07 · 12-12-2010, 03:55 PM

I didn't watch the game and when i heard the final score i was literally speechless. I haven't seen any highlights so don't know what happened with Rodgers, Jennings, and this 4th and 1 call.

I'm just very disappointed in the whole team. This was a trap game but jesus, have some pride and step-up. Flynn in or not, 3 points is not acceptable.

I guess my FIRST gut reaction was to fire MM. I've come down from that now and I'm not even thinking about playoffs because they aren't happening. if Flynn has to start they will lose the remaining games on their schedule and go 8-8 which wouldn't get anyone fired because of injuries.

It sounds like from all of you that the team came out flat and that the play calling was brutal. That's not only on MM but also on Rodgers, Jennings, and the rest of the leaders on this team that set the tone.

I would put this lose up against the Bucs loss last year but against the Lions, you have to find a way to get the Win.

At least the Bears seem to be getting gashed....

umphrey · 12-12-2010, 04:03 PM

I've seen so many more posts about people making fun of our injuries than GB fans talking about them it's ridiculous. And it's not even the least bit funny to anyone. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me and I usually hold back but once in awhile I just can't stand it and have to point out how dumb they're being. I was on about a 4-5 week streak that got broken today out of frustration. Unfortunately it just fuels the fire.

W T F do you think Chargers fans would post if Rivers got knocked out in the 2nd quarter or Indy fans or Pats fans in a key game? It makes me sick.
