2015 (Team 95) PRE WK3 PHL vs GB Gameday Thread

 

Nope.   It's been much more fun to watch

       
       

Might be able to comfortably trade Tolzien.

You are correct, sir!

Call it the 5.5 minute drill.  We all know how the 4 minute drill went in Seattle last year. 

Groovetown.

What the hell is Paul Hornung doing out there?

Kinda cool to see 5 having fun.

My bad, that's Travis Williams in Hornung's jersey.

 

 

New rule?

How about a pick-6?

Lavon Hooks. Nice disruption in backfield. I love pick sixes. Yes. I'm in.

Zook still looks like a FIB. The stink never leaves.

 

Now it's all been said.

Trying to shake the STink off!

I can't see that. The Eagles began playing waiver fodder before the youngsters started to excel. It wouldn't be that way in a regular season game. The Packers haven't had an experienced backup to AR that could also push the ball 25+ yards down the field against tight coverage. Tolzien would be the first.

ink only comes off with time.

#Packers WR Randall Cobb expected to miss 6-8 weeks. Look for them to sign a Veteran WR this week.

Does your job have random drug testing?

No. Just no.

 

@RapSheet

 

That's his real account.

Hey Va. Packer,

With a starting OL, seems the game is not too big for Hundley, who played against PHI starters pretty well. Tolzien will be up for a new contract after this season. Might make sense if the feel Hundley can handle #2 QB.

That might be BS, was retracted by the poster I got it from

Good ranting on the FAN out of GB.

 

 

       

No.

 

Phew!!! sorry about that

FU Bartman!

 

Don't do that to me!

Pretty happy with 2nd half and Hundley's performance overall, minus the STink.

Fn twitter frauds!!!  shame on me

Can't be pissed at The Zook tonight, he is just doing what he has always done.  Failure on Special Teams is 100% on MM.

This is going to be a long season with all the Zook whining. The horse has already been beaten to death and is basically just a pile of moosh.

My bad...

 

Team looked good out there tonight.  Just 5 or 6 penalties less and they would be an average unit.

 

better?

Bulaga sprained ankle. Hyde neck spasm. Cobb sprained shoulder. More tests tomorrow.. Maybe we dodged a bullet with Cobb.

Watch Walker on the 50 harder to Monty.  Slides over and pancakes a guy in pass pro.  Reminiscent of Linsley's pancake last season.

First team D got gashed.

       
       

Yeah. Josh Walker looked incredible on that big play, but gave up on Fletcher Cox 3 plays later killing the drive with a missed block on a Lacy run.  That was one hell of a block though on the Monty pass. Aside from the INT, where Barclay allowed the QB hit to Hundley, he seemed to block well.

"Sam Barrington was getting worked over in the passing game." - Rich Gannon. That was ugly.

Next series, Vujnovich was getting rag dolled when Walker switched outside to RT. Barclay struggled with giving up a couple pressures. Hundley, to his credit keeps amazing poise.

Short yardage they lined up Barclay, Taylor, Linsley, Tretter and Walker. Tretter, in for Vujnovich at RG, actually looked really good. Tretter and Walker paved the way for the Starks score, making it 25-7.

After that they subbed Gerhart for Tretter at RG shifting Tretter to Center. This group ran hot and cold, mostly cold. Josh Walker left Fletcher Cox untouched coming off the edge, giving up a hurry and killing the drive. Again, finishing out the 1st half, two minute drill, Hundley shows great poise. Awesome catch & run on the Neal TD. Toby Gerhart had a stellar lead block on that TD paving the way.

Our #1 D sucked big time, but Burnett and Clinton-Dix hung tough. Nick Perry could get no pressure. Barrington was getting his jock stolen v. the run. Makes a good play, then misses badly. Tough to figure him out. Palmer has no business being out there with the club.

Vanilla Wafer D.  Wait until The Dom starts scheming.    

When has Zook ever proven to be an effective coach?   He's a good recruiter but don't think developing and mentoring players is a strength for him and the results are obvious.

On the bright side, better to get weaknesses exposed now so staff can correct & game plan to  minimize than find out in regular season. Eagles did us a favor. 

Someone mentioned last night that Kelly wanted this game for last years regular season whooping, I agree. He, like many, have bought into the idea that the 3rd preseason game means more than the others. It may have at one time but I don't think McCarthy looks at it like that. When you have an established 22, you need these games to evaluate substitutions/communications, 2nd/3rd stringers, STs, and sub packages.

The Boot will be in the ST meetings/practices this week.

agreed, the ST cut candidates need to separate themselves using ST, that didn't happen.  Boots will be coming this week, too bad for them I suppose, I look at 88, he wants it - playmakers will make plays, OTOH, are the less sparkly spots being put in a position to fail - that's on the coaches
