Game 2: Colts @ Packers - Sunday, Sept 15th at 12PM

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Not a fan of this. I would just throw the ball on 4th down. 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

PR did us a favor for some reason.

We're very capable of losing this.

Whelan is having a fantastic game

I'm almost never an advocate of punting but with this amount of time left and no timeouts? Gotta play field position.

WALKER I WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT COME ON

[Brian]

Unbelievable missed INT.

My first thought, why would you catch that at the 5 in this situation? Better to just pray it goes in the end zone and it probably does anyway.

He had a shot to gain a quarter of the field.

[adambr2]

That play was Walker in a nutshell.

Not to mention they need a td.

 

Quay, I guess that is why you play defense and not offense.

[adambr2]

Now you gave them the shot at the Hail Mary.

 

Good freaking grief. 

[HarryDoyle]

Reminiscent of Julian Edelman in the Super Bowl against Atlanta.

[young guns]

Phew.  1-0 without love!  Trade him!

[adambr2]

Richardson can sure heave it.

I'm glad we got the win with Malik. We sure made it a lot harder than it needed to be in a number of ways. 

[HarryDoyle]

Exhale.

That was unnecessarily close, but better than losing a game you had no business losing. 

[Brian]

An eked out win is better than a loss that's for sure.

[SeaBass]

That had the feel of a classic McCarthy game where they stop scoring and put everything on the defense. It's a win, there's that but it's pretty far from a great feeling.

[duewizard]

Malik got it done. Good for him

Waaay closer than it needed to be.

 

[young guns]

Lions turned away!

But the Vikings are on the verge of upsetting the Niners.

I guess don't understand why a team would do that. That's like playing with no confidence.

I'm fine with that.  More scared of fighting the niners in an end of year scenario than the vikes.

[HarryDoyle]

What a dumb decision by Tampa to pass.

I liked the aggressiveness but not the execution, not sure it would have been a first even with a catch.  With how backed up they were and how much time was left seemed like a decent gamble.

[adambr2]

Malik wasn't asked to do much today, but what he was asked to do, he did well. 

That said, I think you need to open up the playbook for him a little bit the next couple weeks. Happy with the win, we're just trying to gut out as many as we can with Jordan on the shelf, but I don't think you win too many games in this league the way we did today.
