NFL 2012 Week 2 |OT| The Replacements
- Thread starter Buckethead
- Start date
Amazingly she did let me watch the game last night, and she also let me watch the game from last week. The game where your team look like an underperforming file of shit. I will have to wait another week or two before I crown your team the 2013 Super Bowl champions
Unlike delusional Redskin fans I made no definitive statements beyond yesterday's game. They've played one really good team and got clowned, they destroyed one really bad team. Facing Russel'n in Seattle will be the true test!

The question I kept asking myself as I watched the game was this --- is the Packers D this good or are the Bears just that terrible on offense? Cutler seriously has to have the worst O line in the NFL, the pass blocking was absolutely awful.
Week 2. Thursday game.

Somewhere in between? Packers D should be in the middle of the pack, top 15. If they can manage that much, once the offense starts picking up that should be good enough.

Sure, I'm not saying this game defines the entire season or anything, but I'd say there are at least some implications that are worth discussing.
Yeah, I guess somewhere in the middle makes the most sense. The Bears will probably be fine against teams that don't have a great pass rush but that seems to be one of the strengths of the Packers D.

Clay Matthews with 6 sacks on the year through 2 games. That's a little crazy.
Cutler with 6 ints on the year through 2 games, not so much.

Didn't Clay start with 6 sacks in the first two games his first year? Started with the destroying Kolb and the Eagles, who was next, the Bills? Something like that.
That was 2010. His rookie year in 2009 he didn't really play at all outside of specials the first four or five games.

More than Webb. I believe Webb got beat bad in Minnesota last year as well.
They gave Webb help and Matthews beat the Webb/Bush duo. So I hope the backups are better than Webb. But then why they would be backups?
I wouldn't call Rey a star. His hard hits in collegeClay's the most impressive. He was a walk-on and played special teams until his senior year. Finally got to play some his junior year once Cushing got his annual injury, and he started as a rush hybrid and got 4.5 sacks.
Even then, he was called a stiff early in the draft process until he shot up the draft boards after workouts. Reputation is half of your draft stock.

Can a Packers fan resist the urge to crown the Packers Super Bowl champions long enough to tell me whether their D-line actually turned in a good performance in the second half? Capers overwhelmed the Bears O line with rushers in the first half, freeing up Matthews for those sacks. Did that continue?
I haven't rewatched the game yet, but honestly it's difficult to say. Yes the Packers continued to get significant pressure in the second half but a lot of that was due to the absolutely atrocious nature of the offensive playcalling. I think they ran one screen the entire second half? Considering how terrible the Packers are at tackling and how freely they were bringing extra guys, seemed like a no brainer to dump a few off.
That said, Raji played a very good football game and the ends rotating in did their jobs and created space for filling linebackers. That's all you can really ask in the scheme.

Clay had more sacks in the second half than the first but that's more because they started to pull away and Forte was injured
Once they saw that AJ Hawk made a play on screen they knew they were fucked.
Oh god I forgot about that play. Dude was good yesterday. Around the ball and made at least a dozen great reads. Just all around awesome.
Also feast your eyes on my latest shop masterpiece!!
AJ Hawk had a good game? My world is collapsing.
:jnc
Hey bro he and Wayne Hunter are the Rams starting left side. Be nice

This sounds like the worst combo of all time.
Bradford needs to get life insurance pronto
Well Hunter knows Schotty's system, though he's always been a RT. So first start at LT in his career. Ojinaka was with the team through camp and was cut, so he knows system as well. Last year they would sign guys completely foreign to McD's system on Monday and start them Sunday so this is actually better. Upward trend!
Lol.
Remember when it happened?
Stewart practiced on Wednesday and Thursday (conflicting reports on whether he was limited or practiced fully). I'm expecting him to at least be active, not sure if he will be at full strength though.
Squicken gif this please! Twas hilarious. I think it was near the end of the first half.
I think it was early in the second quarter but not 100%.
Yeah, there's no quicker way to get yourself fired than to name exactly how you want to be judged and then score 0% on that metric.
I hope they promote Mike Tice.

holy shit the bears got blanketed
Really nervous to see how many points Forte netted me.

Forte has a high ankle sprain so he's probably out anywhere from 2-5 weeks too
Probably also didn't help that as soon as you logged off our NHL team straight dominated!
It does suck but remember that at least we have one week of shitting on the Bears and Cutler.
Changing the subject. In a travesty of justice probably never seen before I ordered my iPhone at 7 am and I am not getting it at launch. Will have to wait probably another week. Freaking Obama...
Nerd cred -1.
So the defenders finally stay back in their zone? Don't blame me, three things always happened:
1) Defenders were trying to push the puck ahead of me instead of pass it to me
2) Defenders would make bad passes that lead to turnovers when they did pass
And the biggest:
3) McNeily spent nearly all three games I played in the penalty box. Not sure how its my fault when we are constantly 4 on 5!
What this fuck is all this sorcery?
This?
yup....what a fucktard
