Your secondary might be banged up but the Eagles have still done a great job back there.

Against other teams we'd have racked up the score by now. 

That was a nasty hit ... hope the bloke is alright.  Friendly fire this time

I was just about to say Rodgers has thrown for 400+ yards... To a wide open Secondary....

And then THAT happens.

Amazing.

Rodgers throws a pick at Lambeau.

Football is the winner.

There should be another name for that ... I see a 'Pick' as a throw to an opposition player

But luck plays a part in sport.  Eagles were the better team on the night though.  It's a game of inches and we've had our fair share of luck over the years

If the Packers had a decent running game we'd have probably won ... more so at Lambeau though.  At Philadelphia it's tougher.

Oh and congrats on 300 pages for the thread.

He's got another 4 goes at it from close range. Can the Eagles double-up?  If so,  you deserve to win

Given what happened to Maddox, have to agree.

That's a massive win. Feels like 3 wins in one. Packers at home and playing well, Rodgers 400+ yards, 2 goal line stands with a D that was hurting and playing average... 2-2 becomes 1-3... Absolutely massive. Had that pencilled in as a loss... Mind you had Detroit as a win... so what do I know.

Yeah there should. Why throw slants at that position in the field?

Yeah agree on run game. That was the real difference. Rodgers shaded Wentz a bit, but not by a lot... The difference really was the run game of both sides compared to each other (as opposed to compared to run D).

 

300!!!! Fitting it's you and me ticking it over.

Packers have shown me enough to say that we can contend.  Eagles too

The NFC is up for grabs

Meanwhile over in the AFC the Pats can stay there.  Stay away from our conference!

Yeah. Says a lot when your Pats supporting mates message you laughing at how bad your team is even when they put 34 up against Packers at Lambeau.

Having another look... Packers D is properly legit this year. That's a helluva thing to do against them.

I still have a sneaky feeling Chiefs will threaten in a big way... But yeah. Pats historic. Apparently first team in Superbowl era to not allow an offensive TD through three games.

Pats, Chiefs, Chargers

Jeez. Weird week. Most Dlanders off to a flyer in the tipping though. I don't reckon I got 3 weeks right through the whole season last year.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

Dallas lose... no points for me. Somehow I don't mind.

[Go the Biff 3,474]

It's been a good round for a comp based on tipping away wins. You could have just about used the dartboard this week & got away with it.

[Gorgoroth 13,189]

Well Goff gave up more horrendous INT’s (gotta be nearly as many as last year.)

Coach Dungy said, they know if you pressure Goff, and he is no good. 

Wonderkid McVay gotta come up with a new plan, no running game, Gurley looks half the player he was and a QB that is failing in the red zone big time. 

Seahawks this Thur.

Personally this NFL season is going as well as the Dees season..  I hate sport, might have to take up  hobbie that doesn't build me up to constantly [censored] me off ?

You'd probably get 100-1 on that exact scoreline! 

What's the bet it comes off? (100-1 of course)

[Go the Biff 3,474]

Bears, Vikings, Pats.

Would like to see Green Bay get up. MNF Browns @ San Francisco is intriguing.

Bugger...though a very enjoyable game for a neutral today.

[Gorgoroth 13,189]

Here is my thoughts as I watched the game. 

Qtr 1

Still no 1st qtr TDs, Goff is missing easy passes, takes great field position and does very little with it, throws into double coverage all too often.

Lockets TD catch was epic, we dominate and they take the lead. Gurley looks good

 

Qtr 2

Goff is still poo early, Our secondary think more of covering spare grass than players down the field. Peters shouldn’t get a contract next year. Use that money elsewhere. O-line is needed.

Kupp is a star. Gurley is stripped after Goff finally looks good.

Seattle hit Goff low, huge mistake as Goff fires a bullet to Kupp. 

We get ball to start 2nd half. Game on. Gotta stop the big plays, secondary needs to get on their game.

Donald is the best player in the league bar none. I would pick him if I was starting a team over every other player.

 

Qtr 3. 

Love the start, get it to the TE’s who have been ignored due to WR and Gurley, then Gurley paaaaaaayounded it in from the 8yrd line.

Goff throws behind Woods when we are on our 2 yard line. Still don’t like him with pressure, he should and needs to hit that pass, he was not under that much pressure. He just plain pooped his pantaloons again. then next play he nearly throws a pick after taking Waaaaaay too long. 3 and out.

Yup. Peters is overrated. Gives up way too much and if Phillips can’t make him elite, he will stay full of potential and good moments .

 

Qtr 4.

Good hold by the D early. 

Goff throws a great pass to Cooks, got us out of a 3 and out. 

So many penalties against us and each there and most bloody stupid. Just killed a first down. 3&13 now.

What a throw to get over that 3rd down!

Challenge of Woods was close. Unfortunately prob right call. 

So many missed tackles especially in the backfield. Should have had at least two more sacks, and 3 or more loss of yards on Carson. (Who has been immense)

RTP CD Matthews is a [censored] disgrace.

Absolute bloody terrible decision.

How the hell is Carson alone in the end zone???

Great defending by Peters on the 2. 

Still fuming on the Matthews call! Fuming! 

Goff stains his pants again and throws a pick after missing two other throws.

Wilson throws it back to Lockett for a big loss. Doesn’t even give them a chance for a 4th down go.

Goff should have been picked again. 2nd and inches and he throws. Bad call. Pound it.

False start... urrrgggghhh kills you.

Don’t know what our penalties are at but it would be big yards.

Great block from Gurley. 

Massive throw and grab for Everett 

Heart is pounding!

Delay of game... what the hell!

Gain of 9

Enter Zuerlien...

No good. By inches.

 

Shattered.

The Matthews penalty cost us the lead and Goff couldn’t get it back.

Cooks getting injured seem to hurt us late as they stayed more with Kupp and Woods. 

[censored] I hate Seattle.
