2014 Other Game Day Thread.

[FanInAZ]

Let's get this season started!

[Northman]

Go Pack!

[Valar Morghulis]

Pack blow out - coming out party for the new TE in GB and the Hawks to start the season 0-3.

[FanInAZ]

The Pack needs to keep giving the ball to Lacy until the Seahawks show they can stop him.

[FanInAZ]

So close, but so far. Pack almost got lucky with the INT, but Seahawks got lucky instead.

[BroncoWave]

Horrible penalty by GB. Why in the world would you go for the block on 4th and less than 5? There is a WAY higher chance of someone hitting the kicker and giving up a first down than blocking the kick.

[Magnificent Seven]

My gut says, Packers will upset Seattle.

[Valar Morghulis]

Clay Matthews is looking menacing tonight - hopefully he gets to Wilson a few times

#ihatetheseahawks

[Valar Morghulis]

Rodgers is just picking that corner apart

[Northman]

Rodgers is just picking that corner apart

Good. lol 7-3 Pack.

[CrazyHorse]

When we play the Seahawks we NEED to put D.Thomas on Maxwell's side.

[Denver Native (Carol)]

I took Seattle in the Broncos Forums Pick'em, but I would gladly take that game as a miss. GO GB.

[Valar Morghulis]

When we play the Seahawks we NEED to put D.Thomas on Maxwell's side.

Yeah - and then let Sanders burn Sherman on the other side

[Valar Morghulis]

Nice drive - b@stards

[Northman]

Great play fake.

[BroncoWave]

It does please me to see a college-type option play work int he NFL when so many stubborn old-timers say that kind of stuff would never work on the pro level.

[FanInAZ]

Great play fake.

Play fakes are usually as great as the RB your faking it to.

[FanInAZ]

It does please me to see a college-type option play work int he NFL when so many stubborn old-timers say that kind of stuff would never work on the pro level.

Mixing in an occasional collage style play to catch a D off guard is completely different then running a collage style O because the QB wasn't ever taught how to play like a pro.

[Northman]

I think they say it wouldnt work on a consistent basis. Not that a team could never pull of a great play like that once in a blue moon.

Beat me to it.

[BroncoWave]

With a guy like Russell Wilson, it can be and is successful on a little more of a consistent basis. Of all the "running" QBs in the NFL right now, he's probably the smartest and best passer. To go along with his speed, they can be lethal with those types of plays.

[Northman]

Of all the "running" QBs in the NFL right now, he's probably the smartest and best passer. To go along with his speed, they can be lethal with those types of plays.

He was the most accurate coming out of college but it will always be the pass and running of the back (Lynch) that will set up those kind of plays. But if they went to the well too often defenses would easily figure it out. But we are also talking about one player who has a very very very good defense and is ten times the player that Tebow was in terms of passing accuracy. If Wilson was as bad as Timmy they would not be as successful as they are right now.

[Dzone]

Manning would have scored.
So the odds would seem to be against Seattle losing twice in 3 weeks at home, but that doesnt matter-go packers I hate the seahwaks, thay are a bunch of assholoes except for the quarterback

I wasn't really referring to Tebow with my post if you thought that's what I was getting at. Just the idea that college coaches like Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly couldn't come into the NFL and use their college stuff to be successful. No they don't run those plays all the time, but there is way more college stuff being infused into the NFL than many people realize.

Before Kelly went to the NFL, multiple NFL coaches (such as Bellichick) went up to Oregon every offseason to pick his brain and get ideas.

[Valar Morghulis]

Harvin is going to score a ton of fantasy points this year

[FanInAZ]

I believe that's the 1st play Lynch was held to under 5 yards.

[FanInAZ]

As I'm typing the previous message, he more than makes up for the last run.

It's official now, I'm as scared of the 2014 Seahawks as I was of the 2013.

[Dzone]

Ball is the same dimension as Lynch, 5-11 and 215 lbs. Be cool to see ball run like that. Him or J Thompson

[BroncoWave]

Lynch and Lacy are both putting on a clinic of how power running is supposed to look. I don't know that Ball is on that level, but it would be nice to see.

Well, Eddie Lacy certainly doesn't look very good tonight.

[Dzone]

Well, Eddie Lacy certainly doesn't look very good tonight.
Plus he lost half the line. Green bay is looking like denver in the super bowl...well, not that bad

[FanInAZ]

Rodgers should've done his best Tebow impersonation & ran for the 1st.

[Dzone]

Rodgers is no peyton manning lol...but seriousl.y, he is throwing some shitty passes

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Rodgers should've done his best Tebow impersonation & ran for the 1st.

I thought he was going to run for it, he would have had it.

[Valar Morghulis]

Rodgers should've done his best Tebow impersonation & ran for the 1st.

I thought the throw was very similar to that of tebow!

[FanInAZ]

That should've been an INT

[CrazyHorse]

Matthews and Peppers are getting to Wilson. Should be fun for Miller and Ware.

[FanInAZ]

We've lost the NBC due to weather.

[BroncoJoe]

I really want to hate Wilson.

I can't. He's a good dude and pretty good QB.

[FanInAZ]

He's what Tebow was supposed to be.

[FanInAZ]

By the way, just got NBC back.

[Dzone]

Nobody gave Tebow a chance to show his true skill lol

[BroncoWave]

Rodgers does not look like an elite qb tonight.

[Dzone]

Ya Wilson is young, handsome and a future billionaire but there is nothing assholish about him. Theres nothing to hate about him. Would be easier if he was an ahole

[FanInAZ]

Just lost NBC again :mad:

[CrazyHorse]

He's kind of smug.

[BroncoWave]

Well, I have to go to bed now. Stupid east coast. Hopefully GB can pull this one out somehow.

[chazoe60]

I hate the Seahawks. Carol just looks like an idiot. The way he chews his gum pisses me off.

[Valar Morghulis]

FFS - I hate Seattle.

I am going to bed, don't fancy sitting up to watch them win.

Looks like i might have to re-evaluate my opinion about the Seahawks not being as good this year.

Hopefully i wake up tomorrow to find A-Rod inspires a comeback - good night all.

[armedequation]

i am suprised though cause it seems like green bay has a lot of rookies starting. so far they havent looked as impressive as they did last year.

wow that was a terrible def holding call. ive seen seattle do that same dang thing multiple times tonight.
oh yeah its in seattle....

seahawks havent so much looked great...seen quite a few gb mistakes....miss tackles...couple bad penalties
wilson looks really good though.

[BroncoJoe]

Man. I don't know if Green Bay is worse than advertised, or if Seattle is really this good.

Defense is incredibly fast and disciplined, offense efficient and creative.

Scary stuff.

[Dzone]

Seattle looks great...setting them up for a big fall in week 3..Its going to be glorious to go up there and give them the beatdown they deserve

[CrazyHorse]

Man. I don't know if Green Bay is worse than advertised, or if Seattle is really this good.

Defense is incredibly fast and disciplined, offense efficient and creative.

Scary stuff.

I chalk it up as a combination of both. Missing Raji really hurt their run D and Bulaga going out early lead to some pressure for Rodgers.

[Magnificent Seven]

Broncos will look scary.

[OrangeHoof]

My gut says, Packers will upset Seattle.

Need some Tums?

[Dzone]

Rodgers didnt throw a single pass in richard shermans direction. Hope manning wont be so afraid

[Valar Morghulis]

Rodgers didnt throw a single pass in richard shermans direction. Hope manning wont be so afraid

I would put DT out there and just target him all game, let him run right over the top of him, lol, then swap him and Sanders, but still go after Sherman

[armedequation]

i kinda want to see latimer go against sherman especially since lat pretty much gave a sf player a concussion when he blocked him.

[Dzone]

The strategy to stay away from sherman didnt work too well for green bay.
If Latimer knocks sherman out, well...

[weazel]

Seattle looks good... Green Bay looked comical at times. Why was Rodgers so scared to throw Sherman's way?

[armedequation]

i say go at him early and often...get him out of his groove

[Denver Native (Carol)]

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 11m

Packers OT Bryan Bulaga tore his MCL in the Thursday night opener, per source. Undetermined how much time he might miss.

[Jaws]

I hate the Seahawks. Carol just looks like an idiot. The way he chews his gum pisses me off.

For a moment I thought you were insulting Denver Native with that middle sentence of yours!

[Dzone]

Pete Carrol is good in press conferences. He is entertaining to listen to. The dude looks good for what 63? He must be working out pretty hard. Most HCs are fat these days

[OrangeHoof]

If there's a large black man in street clothes during the Dallas game with 50 cameras folliowing him around the sideline for seemingly no good reason, that will be Michael Sam. Odds are about 4-to-1 that there will be some sideline kiss between Sam and Dez Bryant conveniently captured in 30 different angles which will be shown ad nauseum throughout the week by GaySPN and friends.

But, no, he's not a distraction and no, Jerry Jones wasn't forced to sign him.

What if this did not happen - will you recant your cynicism?

[Shazam!]

In other news, the NYJ begin their journey to the Super Bowl, to claim their world championship that they believe is owed and somehow belongs to them.

Same story for the last 30+ years here with fans and media alike.

[Shazam!]

Raiders are friggin horrible wow.

[FanInAZ]

Raiders are friggin horrible wow.

In other late braking news, AZ is hot during the summer.

[olathebroncofan]

Knowshon is ballin in Miami!
