There's a flag down. Van Ness gives Carolina another set of downs. TV says GB has the most ST penalties. Sounds about right.

For the first time in my 75 year memory the Packers game will not be televised here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
Fox UP has been a bastion of Packers football for decades, but today they are broadcasting the Lions game due to the playoff implications.
Merry Christmas to all Packers fans from Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Poor defense and special teams mistakes…over and over again. Instead of great field position we gift a 1st down. Dumb football.

Well atleast we came out blitzing. 3 an out but… ugh.

So far Anthony Johnson has missed a tackle and got torched on that route. Overthrow saved a 1st down but not a promising start for him.

Did you see that second 3rd down? JB changing things up with man coverage and DBs up near LOS. I guess he heard the "feedback". #36 left his guy open and should have been easy 1st down.

I haven't been Deguara's biggest fan, but that block sprung him.

I guess Kraft didn't learn last week to not hurdle. I thought a nut punch would cut down on the hurdles.

Dominant drive by the Offense and Aaron Jones. That’s good start.

What a great way to use #28!

#70 eligible. Reminds me the U (?) jumbo package from Sherman days.

Well...what do we have here today....?

Lets call this a 'Get Right' game for the Packers and Joe Barry.

The Packers face the terrorizing 2-12 Panthers.
Boasting the 30th ranked offense in the NFL averaging 14.7 PPG.

As i predicted earlier this week, 52 million dollar man Preston Smith will again flex his muscles like the Hulk against a team who has given up 54 sacks prior to this game.
Showing us all that he is actually on the field during a game.

This game will once again make the kool aid drinkers thirst over this hard earned victory. Good times people... for at least a week.

Breathe easy Joe Barry, this coming week will feel like a vacation in the Bahamas.

GET RIGHT.

I really don't understand why GB continually kicks the ball short of the end zone. Wasn't that the reason we got rid of Crosby?

In other news.....

Fun Fact: If the Lions can beat the Vikings today, they will win the NFC North for the first time, since 1963.

Panthers offense has missed two wide open receivers. The latest one the LBs dropped into zone, and the RB coming out of backfield probably has an easy 1st down if he catches the ball.

On previous play, #58 with bad coverage or couldn't keep up and the Safety (36?) went to other side of field like coverage was rolled to other side so was late getting over to help on TE.

Somebody's going to have to explain why they hate Bo Melton.

This game doesn’t even count for judgement purposes. The entire Panther team tackles like Alexander.

That run by Taylor looked disjointed. Dillon and Jones on the sidelines

It would be big to go up 14-3. Two down territory?

You have a 250lb back and you run Jones up the middle. Twice!

Young has a live arm. A little scatter-armed.

Three kickoffs short of the endzone. Returns to the 30,31,33. Luckily, penalties wiped out 2 of the returns. I really don't understand this strategy. I though RB was a ST genius.

That’s our Defense. Soft as the other side of the pillow.

Barry goes from blitzing to zone that drive on third down. Nice work Barry

Am I the only one that saw Alexander’s putrid excuse for a tackle actually push the receiver towards the end zone on the reverse??

Panthers 2/3 of the way to their average points. You go Joe.

Seems like they had better results with Valentine and Ballentine. Stokes is starting over them based on draft round at this point.

JB defense, the cure for poor offenses everywhere. Was that stat shown: 1st TD in 25 possessions?

That was roughing the passer?

What's next....skirts?

Two bad teams , and a bad officiating crew. That hit on Love was legal.

Nails a 53 yarder but misses an PAT. Such is the life of a kicker.

Again MLF forgets he has Aaron Jones, plays Taylor and Dillon instead, and the offense struggles. Jones has been running wild so let's take him out. MLF can't help himself. Overthinks, and ends up making the wrong choice. If he's hurt don't play him. If he's not, he's your best player, play him more than half a game.

All season the Panther offense has been offensive. One Quarter of looking at Joe Barry’s Defense and they are starting to look competent. I wonder what’s changed? 🤨

This is mostly our second string out there, handling things ok.

Bo Melton has been making me wonder why the "professionals" took so long to activate him.

Nice drive. Now kick the ball out of the f'ing endzone!!

No flag on a kickoff, stopped before they could return it to the 25? Breaking traditions like this I could get behind ...

For me, surprising stat of the first half is Jones with a season high of 89 yards rushing. I thought he would have had a game with more yards by now.

Panthers rushing 4 and the OL couldn't stop them. I guess they would have just preferred the kneel down.

Barry will be taking his halftime to prepare the defense for the "Double Secret Prevent Defense". I can't wait.

Merry Christmas to everybody here at CHTV!

Guys, I caught up with Coach LaFleur coming out of the tunnel and he said he's happy with the effort in the first half. but feels we left too many plays on the field. He said we need to win our individual battles at the point of attack, and keep striving to communicate on defense. He stated he's not the least bit dumbfounded, but felt a bit lightheaded toward the end of the first half. He said it's nice to see the sun and he hopes everyone is enjoying Christmas Eve with family and friends.

From UP listening to game. Merry Christmas all!

Pathetic that Nixon and Walker would be the first to arrive for the stop on a QB sneak on 4th and 1.

I know Thegreatreynoldo isn't deguara's biggest fan, but nice fumble recovery by him

Pile it on! GB can give up points in bunches.

Yeah LaFlake, give it to Dillon when Jones has the hot hand.
Makes perfect sense to me, nobody would ever expect that inside the 10.

30 - 16 with nearly a full quarter left.
Anyone else think Barry can f%#k that up?

Can our DB's stop strutting after every incomplete pass?

these referees are "proessionals"

I suspect Quay gets a fine.

I saw nothing wrong with what #95 did there. Too late? It appeared to me to be a live ball still.

They must be borrowing refs from the WWE.

Lot of pass rush, still got a TD.

How about going one effing play without a flag!

15-9-5-16-11. Passes completed on this drive. What does the prevent prevent again?

Barry really has nothing to worry about, he'll have teams lining up to hire him as a QB coach.
He's made dozens of them look like Pro-Bowlers during his time in Green Bay.

One score game with a 2 win team .

12 men on the field BARRY

Important drive, Jones having a great day and gains six on first down. Let's take him out for Patrick Taylor. 3 and out. Is MLF a complete moron or just an idiot?

The pass rush looks incredible. Not to take anything away from GB, but since Carolina's OTs were supposed to be pretty good, some guys inside must be terrible.

Panthers' Hubbard RB always looks like he is shot out of cannon

Game tying drive in progress

WOW!!!!!!!

3 bullshit roughing calls today. #36 led with shoulder.

Joe Barry time!
And time for Laflake to get even more conservative.

A Joe Barry Special!

Panthers highest scoring game this year WAS 27 pts @SEA. No surprise here.

I told you Barry was a great QB coach!

Gonna lose to a 2 win team disgusting .

Best case scenario: Packers pull out the win behind Jordan Love; the Packers fire Joe Barry.

There is no lead big enough for Joe Barry! Even against the worst team in the league! Magnificent STUPIDITY! Merry Christmas Joe Barry sympathizers!

Barry will give the Panthers their Christmas miracle, damn it. What a guy.

5 plays/70 yds and a 2 pt conversion in 1:42 with Bryce Young at QB.

If that isn't the final nail in Barry's coffin I can't imagine what it would take.

I seem to remember making the statement a couple days ago that "if Panthers score in the 20s, JB needs to be fired on the spot". JB, being the sly one, spotted the hole in my logic.

So tomorrow everyone will talk about Jordan Love but this is all about the defense or joke lack there of.

Christmas gift from the refs!

Worst team in the NFL scores 30. Nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, Joe Barry good bye!

Even the Refs are feeling sorry for GB.

30 30 game against 2-12 team
Barry has to fucking GO

You can just feel LaFleur's balls slipping up into his abdominal cavity.

I feel sorry for us too!

Please don't score too quick and let Barry totally screw this up.

This is Extra PT territory for Carlsson

rookie kicker...hold your breath

So nice to see a TE keep his feet and run after the catch
