** Panthers vs Packers Game Thread **

[all about da packers]

Game is set to start in a little under an hour.

Don't forget to check out the PF.com LIVE CHAT during the game, where quite a few members from the board will be discussing the game as it happens live.


List of inactive players, courtesy Packersnews.com:

Top receiver Steve Smith won't play because of the shin injury that prevented him from practicing all week. Drew Carter will start in Smith's place.

First-round draft pick Justin Harrell tops the Packers' inactives. Also deactivated are: WR Shaun Bodiford, CB Will Blackmon, S Nick Collins, LB Tracy White, TE Bubba Franks, DT Colin Cole and DT Daniel Muir.

Ouch, not having Smith has got to hurt!

Whew, I thought that was their one chance, if Smith made a miraculous recovery and went superhuman on us with 5 80 yard WR screens for TD's. I hate injuries, but that definitely helps our odds even more with him out. He's an absolute beast.

 

[Obi1]

OK,

So far, so good!

 

[tromadz]

If this game isn't a blowout, I'm gonna be sad.

 

[DarkaneRules]

This game is going to rule. op:

 

[tromadz]

Ok, I'm gonna start the booze drinking now. Hooray, Booze.

 

[rabidgopher04]

Sopcast anyone?

 

[wpr]

INT!
I knew I liked Rouse!

 

[tromadz]

ROUSE

He held his ground and played good zone coverage, went back,backback,then went up, up, up and got the INT.

the bad throw helped.

 

[IronBMike]

UGH come on Packers that was UGLY

 

[rabidgopher04]

What's with Crosby? He hit the 53 yarder in the first game and has been inconsistent with the longball ever since.

 

[roy_munson]

Defense creates a TO ... first time in a long time the Packers O gets such great field position so early in the game and what do they do ...

not one pass downfield ... pathetic playcalling.

I hope McCarthy is not taking this game for granted!

 

[wpr]

Punt returned by Tramon Williams. I knew I loved this guy. :wink:
Maybe they will give him a chance some more chance to return the punts.

 

[rabidgopher04]

idk about everyone else who is outside of WI, but I'm stuck watching the Lions/Giants game. Looks like I just missed an awesome play.

Why is John Kasay punting?

Go Pack!

 

[DarkaneRules]

I was laughing for 3 solid minutes. That was awesome!

I know your pain. I usually get Bears games. I am glad they on on the left coast today.

Go Pack!

I'm in Canada and have the same game playing.

 

[IronBMike]

it was a fake field goal pooch punt

 

[wpr]

Why is John Kasay punting?

Go Pack!

Too close for the regular punter (33 yard line) Too far for a FG. About 54 yard attempt it to the wind.

 

[wpr]

FG Kasay. The bum.

 

[roy_munson]

Offense needs to take control now. We need a nice TD drive and make this game 14-3 going into the second qtr ...

 

[ttsather]

Well, there's a new wrinkle.

Next time Driver can throw!

 

[wpr]

The announcer made a good comment. Since they play this Th that is a short week.
I sure hope Brett doesn't have to throw 20-25 times this week. It will help his arm for the Lions game.
That was meant to be 30-35 times.

 

[roy_munson]

Getting a "little to cute" on offense ... better straighten their act out pretty quick ...

 

[DarkaneRules]

Yeah this doesn't look like a playoff team right now. Let's go guys!
