Me: real men rake leaves, and enjoy doing it...breaking out into a whistle, the Beer Barrel Polka.
I am actually getting scared for the Steelers (my second fav team of all time). You remember that character standing in front of Russel Crowe who peez down his leg before he enters the arena? That be the Steelers.
Green Bay: 24
Pittsburgh: 15 (they will have a safety)
Book it. I dreamt it, therefore it will be so. That and I ran a simulation on my 1970s vibrating gridiron game. I pulled a fast one...I put four pennies under the board which just so happens to be the Packers end zone. The Steelers are retreating and Dillon is having his wayyy.
Your not so secret admirer,

based on the preview talk about offenses, the final score could be 4-2

Go pack go, its about the only thing you can hope for. If Love doesnt produce today and if they try run run run then we will all know, Love aint the guy and the coaches know it.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:12 pm
Not at all. Relying on the run game has been sensible strategy for the whole season. They simply couldn't do it because this O line has mostly failed at run blocking.
JohnnyLogan

Never understand a DB grabbing a jersey. It's so damn stupid.

Unless you're beat, you know it, and it's the only way to prevent a TD.

2 D lineman Joe Barry special .

Nice Defense. 75 yards right down the field.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:15 pm
But they didn't break! And there was continuity. Gotta have your priorities
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:10 pm
Well, the Steelers started right away. Will our O show up before halftime?
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 12:12 pm
The number of starters not playing on defense seems extreme. I did not realize that they were that injured.
CanPackFan
November 12, 2023 at 12:12 pm
Good old Barry defense on the first drive! Corners playing well off the LOS. Soft on the run. Leave it to Barry to make a mediocre opponents offense look like world beaters!
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:18 pm
Everybody can excel at something. JB has found his niche.
egbertsouse

I thought the Steelers offense sucked. They looked like the Eagles on that drive.
croatpackfan

300 yards on ground today
NickPerry
November 12, 2023 at 12:13 pm
Hmmm.. Well friends, are we surprised?
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:20 pm
#9 caught his first two targets, that's a pleasant surprise.
MooPack
November 12, 2023 at 12:14 pm
So far Joe Barry has put Smith on a TE, a DB off, and two down lineman on goal to go. His usual brilliance is shining bright today.
PackfanNY
November 12, 2023 at 12:15 pm
Runyon just got trucked on that one.
NickPerry
November 12, 2023 at 12:16 pm
Rhyan should be playing!
CanPackFan
November 12, 2023 at 12:23 pm
Typical Stenavich stupidity! Or MLF?
SicSemperTyrannis

Butkus too.
NickPerry
November 12, 2023 at 12:16 pm
Nice throw!
13TimeChamps
November 12, 2023 at 12:16 pm
Hey, at least they didn't 3 and 0ut after giving up the TD. It's a start!
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 12:17 pm
The second play which was a run seemed strange blocking scheme. OL blocked down to right, then Jones went wide left. Didn't get that good of a look on replay though.
egbertsouse
November 12, 2023 at 12:18 pm
I thought the Steelers defense was good. They look crap so far.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:21 pm
Hopefully that lasts for 60 minutes.
NickPerry
November 12, 2023 at 12:20 pm
This O-Line is SO hard to watch. I miss Ted. The Packers ALWAYS had solid O-Lines with Ted.

A score on the first drive!?! Pray tell what is this sorcery!

Wow, offense came to play today....

In stride, even :)
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 12:25 pm
wow that td throw by Love faked me out. It looked like it was uncatchable in bounds to me as soon as he let it fly.
CanPackFan
November 12, 2023 at 12:25 pm
Love looked very comfortable on that first drive. I like the run/pass mix.
13TimeChamps
November 12, 2023 at 12:26 pm
Now that's encouraging! Best opening drive of the year?
Packers1985
November 12, 2023 at 12:26 pm
Oline is doing it's job and Wr's doing what they are supposed to do and Love looks comfortable. So far offense looking sharp today
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:32 pm
I saw the play with the int, but I didn't see the interception. I saw the replay, but I didn't see 2 feet on the ground.
And they weren't. 3rd and 1.
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 12:35 pm
2 DL on 3rd and 1. Offense had 2 TEs on play too.
JB really loves that 2-4 and 2-3 "defensive" front
croatpackfan
November 12, 2023 at 12:37 pm
2 words - Joe Barry

Looks like the Packers D don’t know who to cover .
PackfanNY
November 12, 2023 at 12:38 pm
The defense is just so soft against a bad Steelers offense. If this continues how does Barry explain it? They are in the midst of their second drive without resistance. That’s Kenny freakin Pickett. Not Terry Bradshaw.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:47 pm
But they do have continuity.
MooPack
November 12, 2023 at 12:40 pm
So let me get this straight, JB is so scared by a Pickett led passing offense he is playing 2 DL every play? One would think they are “tanking” by virtue of the obvious stupidity of defensive play calls.
croatpackfan
November 12, 2023 at 12:40 pm
Again with 4 on DL.... Aaaaaaaaaaaghhhh
Lphill
November 12, 2023 at 12:41 pm
Barry is a piece of shit, 2 down lineman on both scoring drives in the red zone , no excuse
The_Justicar
November 12, 2023 at 12:46 pm
I was searching for the right words. Thank you for having them. It is unreal how poorly he is with personnel /formations in situational football. I never see any other defenses playing 2 man DL -
- let alone in 3rd and 4th and short or goal to go.
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 12:42 pm
Steelers looking like they didn't have to activate punter today
barutanseijin
November 12, 2023 at 12:43 pm
No fire on the defense. Sure they lack talent, but they look like they don’t want to be playing football.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:50 pm
I don't see a lack of player effort, I see a moronic defensive scheme.
barutanseijin
November 12, 2023 at 12:54 pm
Sure, that’s what Bear fans have been saying for years. So-and-so is the dumbest coach ever, we just need to get rid of him and…
PackfanNY
November 12, 2023 at 12:43 pm
Two drives 75 and 60. Horseshit defensive effort. Against a bad offense. All people want to talk about is Jordan Love. What kind of effort is this from the defense?
CanPackFan
November 12, 2023 at 12:44 pm
After the 2nd PIT TD, I guess we can say that Barry had his one good game against the hapless Rams. Welcome back to the usual Joe Barry. You just never know what defense is going to show up, week after week...
Matt
November 12, 2023 at 12:49 pm
He always does it when we all feel that there is a critical game for him to stay or leave. He gives a bit of hope just to fail next 10 games.
Matt
November 12, 2023 at 12:47 pm
If I read one more time that our defense is still better than this young inexperienced offense, I am going to puke. Game after game the D is soft like butter. They put a good effort once and they give it up again. You can be less talented, you can be worse, you can have a bad day, but what they present is repeating bad concepts over and over again.
jannesbjornson
November 12, 2023 at 12:53 pm
EIGHT one picks...
barutanseijin
November 12, 2023 at 12:58 pm
And none are really special.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:56 pm
That's coaching.
NJ-RICK
November 12, 2023 at 12:49 pm
I'm sure glad I didn't purchase the NFL SUNDAY ticket this season. The Packer's just suck. As I've been saying since last season its time to clean house in the Packers front Office. Get rid of Packer MGT..!
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 12:59 pm
Yes. The only question is, is it better to fire everyone all at once? Or replace people more gradually, to have some consistency?
I don't have an answer for that, but Butkus should be first out the door. I don't see how replacing the strength and conditioning staff at the same time could hurt. Same with TE coach. WR a week later? Or two?
jannesbjornson

MLF has no authority to hire or fire coaches.
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 12:50 pm
I doubt Watson gets first down if he didn't drop ball. Play seems flawed to catch it 2 yards short of 1st down on "turn around" sort of route.
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 12:52 pm
Steelers seem really dumb to not run more considering that they have 86 yards running already
Packers0808
November 12, 2023 at 12:53 pm
Packers= Penalties, injuries and dropped passes every game! Sick of the same repeat rinse and repeat!
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 01:05 pm
#9 is 2 for 4. Caught his first two. Missing the next two targets may be attributable to JL more than a straight drop, but ...
PackfanNY
November 12, 2023 at 12:53 pm
Any team punting against our defense on 4th and 1 would be foolish.
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 12:55 pm
Broken record, but I swear I saw only 2 DL on 4th and 1 when Steelers went heavy.
Lphill

Points for the Steelers on ALL 3 drives. At some point perhaps we should change something. Ridiculous.

Call the fair catch Nixon!
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 01:07 pm
Erased his previous gain on that return, he's at a net loss on return attempts for this game already.
13TimeChamps
November 12, 2023 at 01:03 pm
Looks like Nixon's press clippings from last year have maybe gone to his head. He's been terrible bringing the ball out this year.
jannesbjornson
November 12, 2023 at 01:06 pm
They will short kick to him the rest of the year.
13TimeChamps
November 12, 2023 at 01:09 pm
Either that or he brings it out from 9 yards deep in the endzone.
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 01:06 pm
I was going to make a sarcastic remark along the same lines.
jannesbjornson

Great news, we know we have a QB. Now let's fix the OL etc
Packers1985
November 12, 2023 at 01:11 pm
OL has been playing well today. You can see some decent time for Love to pull the trigger on both those throws. Also created a hole for big run this game.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 01:19 pm
While you're right that our O line did well on those plays, they've also played poorly on more plays than that. Inconsistent is better than always bad.
Tundraboy
November 12, 2023 at 04:25 pm
Don't disagree but my point has more to do with next year and adding some better OL. And they still are using a different 5 every wèek.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 01:28 pm
I agree. I think trying to draft an upgrade at QB would be a poor choice, and addressing other needs would be better. While I don't think we need a WR, you don't pass on Marvin Harrison Jr if he's available. Many here are saying use round 1 on an OT, but the idea of drafting all OTs and moving them to the interior has already backfired on us, leaving us with HUGE guys that conventional wisdom says are too tall to play on the interior. This is part of the reason I want to see Tom at C or at least RG. Not that I'm saying making this switch now is a good idea, this should have been addressed at TC.
edp1959
November 12, 2023 at 03:17 pm
We know we have a QB, HA are you freaking joking. Two opportunities to score and win the game and we got intercepted.
Tundraboy
November 13, 2023 at 12:27 pm
He's played all of 9 games!
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 01:08 pm
LOL @ degaura's non-block like he didn't know the play was in progress on extra point
Packers0808

He didn't even freaking move!
barutanseijin

Degaura is shit on the FG unit, yet they keep putting him out there .
13TimeChamps
November 12, 2023 at 01:10 pm
A kickoff out of bounds putting the ball at the 40. And a blocked PAT. Not a great day for Carlson so far.
barutanseijin
November 12, 2023 at 01:15 pm
Blocked kick is not on him
MooPack
November 12, 2023 at 01:11 pm
What made that touchdown play? Pittsburgh decided to play prevention D and not pressure rush. Doesn’t work, despite what so called professionals will tell you and misleading stats get promoted.
jannesbjornson
November 12, 2023 at 01:24 pm
It works with a 4 down linemen rushing scheme, not a 2-4-5
NickPerry
November 12, 2023 at 01:12 pm
Both of those TD passes by Love were really nice. Hey, I've been critical as hell of him, but he's playing nicely today.
BritPack
November 12, 2023 at 01:18 pm
Agreed, I'm ultra critical of Love but he's looking half decent today. I suppose if you take enough shots you'll eventually hit a coconut
NickPerry
November 12, 2023 at 01:13 pm
That's a LATERAL!!!! All day baby!

Blind ref, ruling against MLF's challenge. Our defense got the stop though!
barutanseijin
November 12, 2023 at 01:17 pm
Why even have replays when you uphold calls like that?
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 01:17 pm
You can see hash mark where it was released, and that it was first touched by RB half yard further back than the release. Seemed definitive to me.

That was definitive to Ray Charles!

No way the NFL can explain that call. Horrible.

I am sick about this season’s reffing.. abysmal would be a gross understatement… that pass was a fucking lateral and even with review Pittsburg got the call… just disgusting.
13TimeChamps
November 12, 2023 at 01:23 pm
If GB gives up a 91 yard drive here, Barry needs to be sent home at halftime.
CanPackFan
November 12, 2023 at 01:36 pm
Well, what do u know? Barry finally gets his corners up tight and we get some Steeler punts! Joe finally makes a change in the first half? Will wonders ever cease? Yet, the game is only half over? Plenty of time for some vintage Barry mistakes...
RobinsonDavis
November 12, 2023 at 01:37 pm
Point:
ILBs NOT having a good game
2 TDs in the first half of football for our O!!!
JLove's TD to Reed was a 50 yard throw. Looked effortless, and yes, slightly behind, but a beautiful throw. He can easily heave further, but why always short and off target is perplexing
Feel we have had 2 calls go against us that were wrong. The PI on Nixon (admittedly only seen once) looks suspect and the lateral was just incorrectly called imo.
The combo of Preston and Gary, bring so many additional little things to our D than LVN and EQ. I know obvious, but even when simply tackling and pursuing, you see more effort and better angles.
I am happy with our offensive effort this half....needed more from the D early.

I didn't think they were going to run a play on that 4th down attempt that was successful.
JohnnyLogan
November 12, 2023 at 01:52 pm
The offense has looked better today, but Love still has issues with accuracy. Horrible completion rate for the season and missed passes again today. He's just not consistently accurate and that's death for a QB.
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 01:55 pm
I watched the end of the Dallas - Philly game last week, and I thought Dak Prescott looked worse. Dak had some horrible passes that weren't even close. When I saw the passes, I was wondering how the fans here would react if Love threw that bad.
BritPack
November 12, 2023 at 02:08 pm
This is the problem. He makes a couple of throws that surprise you and give you hope that he might be half decent. Next series hes back to the usual erratic, inaccurate shite that raises all the doubts about him.
CanPackFan
November 12, 2023 at 01:54 pm
Wish they would stop running Jones between the tackles. Jones today looks better in space and receiving. Dillon looking better running in the middle.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 02:09 pm
I wish our O line would stop getting blown up and letting our RBs get hit behind the LOS. While I put that primarily on the coaches due to everything we've seen this season, it's also really hard to game plan for that. I don't consider going to an air raid offense a viable option, so I'm glad MLF at least hasn't abandoned the run, despite the adversity.
NickPerry
November 12, 2023 at 02:03 pm
I swear to God if Luke could keep his feet he'd have 20 TDs...LOL
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 02:12 pm
He caught a deep ball though! Explosive plays are stacking up, including a 50 yard return by #25. I think he's a net positive on his return attempts for today right now.
MooPack
November 12, 2023 at 02:04 pm
Luke Musgrave - rumbling, stumbling, bumbling!
NickPerry

Isn't this a contract year for him?
Packers0808
November 12, 2023 at 02:06 pm
Musgrave should make name change to Mustrip!
JohnnyLogan
November 12, 2023 at 02:07 pm
Great play to Musgrave, but again, Love's pass didn't hit him in stride. Love just seems to throw in the direction of the receivers, hoping it'll get to them, instead of breaking them open.
BritPack
November 12, 2023 at 02:14 pm
Exactly, throws to where they are, not to where they're going.
PackfanNY
November 12, 2023 at 02:08 pm
If we could only get Musgrave to keep his feet. 😂
On the Defense now. Offense gave them a lead.
RobinsonDavis
November 12, 2023 at 02:09 pm
Love has got to be careful staring down his receivers.
JohnnyLogan
November 12, 2023 at 02:18 pm
Why did Love toss that ball away? He had Doubs open and was looking right at him.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 02:21 pm
So wait, Zach Tom was too far behind the C and called for an illegal formation and 5 yard penalty. On a really important 3rd down no less. Last week JRJ was called for being not far enough behind the C - twice! And the total difference in position is a total of how many inches?
Is anybody in the organization going to make a formal protest?
PackfanNY
November 12, 2023 at 02:24 pm
Jones needs to make that catch.
Now the defense will fold.
SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 02:30 pm
Put me down for the inexplicable .5 votes we see here sometimes; of course #33 should have caught that. And we've seen at least one other drop like that from him this season.
Don't predict our D doing poorly please, they held ok.
It's still a contest. Nowhere near a perfect game, but at least some things are being done well.
Qoojo
November 12, 2023 at 02:26 pm
That trick play on offense says more about MLF's confidence in the offense making 3rd and 11 than anything.
CanPackFan
November 12, 2023 at 02:52 pm
Really strange play calling in the 2nd half.

Love is a joke when he has to pass, hand ball off and hope is their best offensive play!

Well, that 3rd down he had to evade a virtually unblocked blitzer then throw the ball on a sprint, and could not slow due to Watt. I am willing to give him a pass (no pun intended) on that play.

Love is currently at around 55% completion rate for the game and around 59% for the year. This just doesn't seem to be getting any better as the year goes on. Time to be really concerned?

MLF is just afraid to throw over the middle. It's either a pass to the sideline, behind the line, a sideline two-yard pass, or a bomb. There's rarely a slant or a five to ten-yard pass upfield. Just constantly plays it safe, and that's an indictment of Love. He doesn't want him throwing anywhere near traffic.

Agreed, even if this is the L it looks like, there's been good effort. The O could move the ball, and maybe more explosive plays than any game this season? Our porous run defense did get some stops, on both individual plays and drives.
And it's still a one score game at the 2 minute warning. 3rd and 19, I think our O gets one more chance ...

My God. The Steelers are running at will and Barry won't stack the D line? And with a young QB? It's not young, inexperienced GB players losing these games. It's ridiculously BAD coaching! I feel sorry for us suffering fans and these young players. I guess the coaches can hide behind the mistakes of these young players, NOT!

Agreed initially thought it was knocked out of watson's hand. I feel little under thrown but neverthless it's a great play by the DB

Watson's going to have to patent that fade away in the end zone that winds up as an interception. He did it a couple of weeks ago and just repeated it. Go straight up and compete for the damn ball! His fade away made it easy for Peterson to make a play.

Pick-6 is also acceptable

Why blame Watson for that pick?? Another under thrown ball...what the hell was he supposed to do, push the defender down and get a PI...Love does not see the whole field he locks on one guy....maybe in his fifth or sixth year though...

RobinsonDavis

Let's first of all give Peterson credit for his coverage on the play referred to. There is a point where you have to ask why is Love short on the throws to Watson specifically (yes I know he is short on the deep side-line throws to others). But today, he had 2 beautiful throws to Dobbs and Reed in the corners. This is Jordan's first full year of experience playing, so the inconsistencies should be expected. Without doing review, to me Jordan's late consistently to Watson due to his speed, and not right mechanically - rushing his throw, but think others can provide better insight.
The way I see it, Jordan corrected some previous errors, but can help himself by getting those throws deeper/higher. Frankly, I don't care if it is a jump ball. We have 3 tall receivers, if you include Musgrave, and Wicks can get vertical as well.

Final play is a summary on the season: second interception of the game making JL 2 & 2, and Zach Tom penalized after the play is over even though the clock had already run out.
I think there was some progress by the team though.

There were positive plays on offense. There were several explosive plays; I think more than any other game this season but I'm not sure. Will be interesting to see stats.
On defense, JB showed his true colors but the players got a few stops anyway. Our Jr DBs were not blown up all game long. Nixon got a 50 yard return, and may have finished net positive as compared to just taking a touchback at every chance.
Yes there are some positives to discuss, which is a lot more fun than half the season so far.

SicSemperTyrannis
November 12, 2023 at 03:49 pm
I've been saying for many weeks that he should be considered WR #1. He's open much more than he's targeted. I don't know his completion % or drops compared to the rest of the room, but he's "playing bigger than his size," as advertised. Between him and Musgrave in the middle, that can be schemed to get other targets open.

I was hoping to see that change announced back before the draft. He should either delegate that or step down as HC and try being OC, trying to do everything is proven to be too much for him. Him as OC and Steno back coaching O line might be a good combination? RB as interim HC could hardly be worse.

The clownish throw-back plays usually are saved for a Playoff Game. They have a difficult time executing the regular offense, much less these gadget plays. Waste of a play and upsets the MO.

PP,
just because JB is not the worst coach in the organization doesn't mean he can stay. Butkus has to go first. There's no downside to replacing the strength and conditioning staff at the same time. TE coach, too. Maybe WR should be staggered a bit instead of replaced simultaneously?
After that, then JB might be the worst coach. Even though it can be argued that the D has played well enough to win more games, they're still underachieving as compared to their talent.
I think it's possible to overturn everything too quickly and hurt the team that way; I don't know how much change all at once makes sense. Murphy's silos idea is proven idiotic.

#28 had a 40 yard run, #25 had a 50 yard return. Explosives were much improved! JL still missed some throws outright, passes were still dropped. JL did get the chance to learn how to throw it away to avoid the sack, hopefully that stays with him ...
