Game 2: Commanders at Packers - Thursday, Sept 11 7:15 PM

Hard to overthrow Golden.

[BrewerFan]

Ooh...thought Heath got that...

[OldSchoolSnapper]

That's a catch and it's an incredible one. 

[young guns]

Challenge please

[HarryDoyle]

CHALLENGE THAT!!!

[Sixtolezcano]

WHAT!!! MLF wins a challenge?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Feels like the first guy is never bringing Kraft down. 

[young guns]

I don't know exactly how expedited review works.  Is that one that comes from upstairs so mlf doesn't technically get credit for winning the challenge?  Or does he challenge and upstairs bypasses the ref from looking under the hood?

[HarryDoyle]

Kraft is a Pro Bowler.

What a start on both sides of the ball.  Gotta keep their foot on the gas!

[BrewerFan]

Having a defense like THIS... was a dream. I just wanted one good enough for our offense to have a shot if they scored 28.

I mean... no point in relitigating the past, but this is the type of defense that if you give MOST of the Packers teams from 2011-2022, we're winning those Pats Super Bowls. 

"The big guys can run and the little guys can hit."

And then the offense, they can get away with a couple of missed opportunities because they just get the ball back. 

 

Lots of time left, but the defense is looking like some of the better defenses we've seen the last 15 years. As good as those Seattle defenses, the 49ers... whoever. They look like they're right up there. 

Bullard tonight has been a menace. 

[HarryDoyle]

A four minute TD drive would be awesome.

[BrewerFan]

Don't want to get greedy, but... that holding sucks and I'd LOVE to see the Packers go up 21-3 here...

[adambr2]

Holding penalties are just drive killers. It’s basically a turnover.

They might be 14-6 or 14-10 now which would be a shame for how this half has gone. 

[young guns]

Alternatively if Williams had stayed in bounds he would have gotten the first on his run.

[young guns]

Alright.  Some time to get into fg range.

[HarryDoyle]

Defense holds. Let's get a field goal before halftime.

[adambr2]

Whew, I’ll take the miss.

The fact that the Commanders had the ball at midfield, 3 timeouts and 2 minutes left and had absolutely no interest in even trying to score a TD tells you how much respect they have for our pass rush.

[adambr2]

Doink.

[young guns]

Would have been fun to try for a deep ball, but making it a much shorter fg is the smart move.  Even though it didn't work.

[HarryDoyle]

Crap. Still a two score lead though.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

That's a chip shot these days. C'mon Anders. 

[BrewerFan]

`And... off the upright. 

 

Gotta convert that. Still, sloppy offense vs a very good team and it's 14-3 and we've dominated the Commanders. 

I wonder if... MAYBE you lineup Micah at LE so he can face the rookie RT instead of another Pro-Bowl OT? 

Anyway, another good half by the offense, dominant half by the defense.
