Has this been mentioned yet?

I was impressed with the level and complexity of the pre-snap motion on defense. People didn't just fake blitz, they fake blitzed in coordination. One guy would move to blitz, and two others would shift to cover the hole he'd leave. Then they would all return to their original spots and the blitz would come from somewhere else. It was, as one player put it, "electric".

Loved that as well. Of course, it's not yet up to Baltimore standards and there where points at which the defense just completely stood still, with the exception of the CB following the WR in man, but they where really toying around with it and there was more cordinated movement in this one pre-season game than we had last year.

Can't wait for the regular season to start.

I hope Rodgers stays healthy all season long. Neither Brohm nor Flynn should be on an NFL roster.

I agree on the Rodgers comment but disagree with the Brohm/Flynn comment. I remember both Favre and Rodgers looking just as bad when they came to GB in their first 2 years. How well did that pan out later? 🙂

I'm anxious for the Bills next for two reasons...

1). They should prove to be a tad better example of an opponent.

2). Like us, the Browns use a 3-4 defense. Meaning the center was basically lined up directly on the nose guard. In a 4-3 different gaps and alignment would be in play, and seeing how the O-line handles those factors will hopefully allow the coaching staff to finally set their starting 5 guys.

I just want the 5 best guys out there and working together for a few weeks before Chicago arrives!

Philbin wants to see how both Spitz and Wells operate against multiple defensive tackles, something he didnt see against the Browns. Cleveland runs a 3-4 defense, which means the center was largely one on one against the nose tackle.

Weve got to see those centers play against somebody other than a guy thats head up on them, Philbin said. Buffalo, my guess is going to have guys off the edges, and we need to see that.

Flynn belongs on our roster more than any FA quarterback that's floating around out there.

Grant was OK but seems to not shake off too many tackles.

"Trippster" wrote:

I felt that he was much better than how we remembered last year. Of his 6 carries, and of 5 that he was tackled, he was only tackled by a single defender once. And that one was his first carry for a 1 yard loss. So all in all I was given hope by his running. The 14 yard scamper he had a couple plays before the Driver TD reminded me of 2007.

Is it possible that the D had a good day because the Browns didn't have any film on the new 3-4 defense and as we start to play more games teams will be able to plan for it better?

I voted incomplete in the poll, it was a great game to build confidendce. But, it was against the browns.. soo.. The Bills game should be a good test.

Wow. So now we're being apologetic about absolutely manhandling a team because that team is the Browns?

Detroit went 4-0 last preseason. How'd they turn out in the regular season? I'm not saying the Browns will be a great team - I don't know one way or the other, but to act like we can't take some optimism from a game where our team was clearly dominant because it's the preseason and we played the Browns is... well, it's wimpy.

Yes, it's only the preseason. So what? I don't think anyone's putting the team in the Super Bowl based on this performance, but it sure as hell wasn't hard to watch.

Smith made some nice plays, but he needs to lay off the face mask penalties. It was almost completely unnecessary to make that tackle.

"Greg C." wrote:

Smith said afterwards that the facemask penalty was intentional because the other guy got him in the facemask first with that stiffarm, and he thought he was going to miss the tackle unless he grabbed the facemask. So he took the penalty rather than give up a TD. That made me feel a little better about it.

"RainX" wrote:

This angered me from the game. And it made me think, why is it illegal for a defender to put a hand in the face of a offensive player, but not the same in vice versa? It makes no sense to me. If Harris or Woodson get called for illegal hands to the face, how does it differ from a stiff arm?

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!

beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over

packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor

Mucky Tundra (29-Dec) : Colts-Giants now a tight one
