Why not just kneel? · PACKERSHOME

Matt Flynn just threw a fluke interception that was returned for a touchdown. Packers get the ball with 23 seconds left in the half.

1st and 10 at GB 32 (Shotgun) M.Flynn pass incomplete short left to E.Lacy.
2nd and 10 at GB 32 (Shotgun) M.Flynn pass incomplete short right to E.Lacy.
3rd and 10 at GB 32 (No Huddle, Shotgun) E.Lacy left end to GB 33 for 1 yard (P.Worrilow).
End of 1st Half

You're down 10 - 21 and need to go 68 yards for a TD or 40 yards for a chance of a FG.

I get the two passes, but on 3rd and 10 on the 32, why not just kneel? Eddie Lacy isn't going to bust a 68 yard TD run with 14 seconds left lol

After the INT, I was surprised they didn't just take a knee and go in for the half.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

The message to the team was keep fighting. I think that says a lot.

Obviously he got injured but again, hindsight. 23 seconds ain't much time but with two timeouts (which I think they had) running it is a decent balance between conservative and agressive IMO. But yeah, with 14 seconds left, just kneel.

dfosterf (10h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (10h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (10h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (10h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

Mucky Tundra (11h) : In your face, HBO!

Mucky Tundra (11h) : @ByRyanWood Mark Murphy: “A great source of pride of mine is that we were never on Hard Knocks.”

Mucky Tundra (11h) : @mattschneidman Mark Murphy says he anticipates “many Packers games” being played in Germany, Ireland and/or the U.K. over the next 5-10 yea

dfosterf (11h) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (11h) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (11h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (11h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (12h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (12h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (14h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (14h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (15h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
