Cats @ Pack Live Blog 1st Half
By Brinson | November 18, 2007
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaah. 400 years worth of Quarterback play. Brian Baldinger. Yooooooooour Carolina Panthers. Let’s get this live blog on. Boom, Boom, Boo…sigh.
13:33 - It’s a little early in the afternoon to get kicked in the nuts, don’t you think? Packers ball. AARP complaints filed everywhere.
11:57 - Not to be a pessimist, but can we stop analyzing this game please? It’s about prayer, Baldy. And prayers answered! Three and out. So early. Mason Crosby on for the 49 yard field goal attempt…blocked!!! I heart false hope so very, very much.
10:45 - Do you think Jeff Davidson even knows what to do on third and short? It really might not be in the playbook. Nice call. I was expecting a draw or Vinny rollout. First down Cats.
9:00 - DeeeeeeeeeeeAngelo for a long first.
7:54 - There really needs to be a flag on that play. What a nightmare. Stupid pooch punt. Jeebus. Right there. Flag. Flag. Flag. He’s holding the mess out of Kasay. Suite Jeebus.
Pack 7, Cats 0
7:49 - 15 yards anyway we can get it. Please hit us later and more often Green Bay.
6:01 - Vinny to Drew Carter! It’s like Delhomme to Steve Smith…but older and a little slower. Not by much. This is blatantly ending up with a field goal by the way.
5:06 - Told you. Come on Kasay.
- STOP IT DICK. WE GET IT. NEVER MISSED AGAINST THE PACKERS, YOU CLOWN. JUST STOP.
Pack 7, Cats 3.
Little life just yet.
4:58 - I’m really debating on my mute button at this point. It’s not even that Baldinger has said anything really stupid just yet, but you can feel it coming. “When Matt Moore comes in, he plays quarterback!” Ugh.
3:55 - Crazy little ineffective direct snap to Donald Driver. Dick Stockon overreacts.
3:37- Noflagnoflagnoflagnoflagnoflag…sh*t.
2:58 - Is it possible that Ed Hochuli demanded that the NFL send Leavy to Green Bay so he’d have to wear sleeves this week after showing off his guns on SNF recently? I think it’s a distinct possibility. Packers doing things at midfield. Meh.
2:08 - Nice! Now what is is this “sack” statistic you speak of? Go on…
1:59 - Not to go all Baldinger on you, but why are we challenging this? Was there a fumble or something? Because I’m pretty sure he got tackled. And yes, I totally reran my DVR to figure out if I missed a punt. WTF, Foxy?
- Wait. So, after Tiger Woods…OnStar’s next choice for celebrity endorsers was Jimmy F’ing Fallon? Or maybe after Jeff Gordon. Embarrassing.
- Okay, so there was a fumble. But not a “clear recovery by the defense”? What a crock. Good challenge by Fox given the evidence but you gotta know that’s not getting flipped. Ryan Robinson, drafted solely to return kicks, let’s the ball bounce. Wiley Cat drafting, I tell you.
1:48 - Yeah, we get it Baldy. We’re a classic trap game. Blahblahblah. Is it wrong that I want Mario Williams to end Reggie Bush’s career today? Because I don’t feel bad about thinking that. First down Cats. You love my gameday coverage.
:42 - I like this “taking shots downfield” thing. 4/9 73 yards and a pick for Vinny. How are we not down 21-0 right now?
:00 - It’s really difficult to dislike Matt Hasselback. Even if his kids are bald. I can’t wait until we pass on Matt Ryan with the 15th 10th 1st overall pick this year.
- If Norv Turner doesn’t throw a red flag here I’m not coming back for the second quarter. AAAAAAA. Great throw by Phil, great catch by Chambers. Thank you Norv. I need an LTTD.
15:00 - That break was brought to you by NFL Ticket Thing. Dammit, Colbert! Wow! Everyone in Green Bay is wearing hunting orange! They’re honoring deer season. Somehow everyone from North Carolina looks really sophisticated right now.
14:55 - Hey, how has Viagra not convinced Vinny to do a commercial yet? Shouldn’t that have been an immediate phone call made by their reps?
14:47 - Yah! Norv wins a challenge. Gates or LT please. Oh no. Donald Driver sooooooooo wide on play action. If Favre hits him in step he is adio, amigo. Here’s where I’m avoiding some joke about Chris Gamble being grape jelly. If the Packers are going to score, let’s at least get some Greg Jennings please. Not saying I want it, just saying if it’s gotta happen…
13:05 - “Five outstanding wide receivers” Dick? Really? Driver and Jennings are outstanding, yes. James Jones is good but still a rookie. Ruvell Martin? My favorite sleeper, that adjective is probably a stretch. Koren Robinson? If we’re talking about smoking tweeds, maybe.
11:35 - James Jones in my eyeball, second and goal.
11:13 - Touchdown to Jennings. This is soooooooooooooo awkward. Pack 14, Cats 3.
9:50 - DeShaun Foster looks good today, for whatever that’s worth.
8:53 - Vinny pick. Flagflagflagflagshuddlehuddlethingthingthingsthings
- HUGE break indeed, Dick. Vinny’s not dumb enough to make that throw if it’s not a free play, right? Right?
8:49 - Third and mildly long. That’s nice and familiar. By the way, if the Fins win today, the city of Philly is on suicide watch. And the Bills will win tonight.
8:45 - Ohsweetmercy. That was a horrible pass. Looked like offsides too. Nothing stupid special teams.
- If Adrian Peterson hadn’t have gotten hurt this past week, he might have 400 yards at half against the Raiders. Chester Taylor is shredding them right now.
- Oh. And the Chargers are a huge yoke. David Garrard. Some might call him a “sleeper” today. Hmm.
8:15 - Ryan Grant is really good. Or our defense is not. Can’t figure it out. Nice play by this Peppers fellow.
- Baltimore on board via Ray Lewis. I can’t believe I added Mark Clayton like he was worth anything.
7:11 - Favre in shotgun on third and five. Timeout Cats.
7:07 - First time in Brett Favre’s career they line up with five wideouts? I guess that’s what happens when you have such an outstanding crew of ball catchers.
-LT trying to get lose and I understand you’re down 14 so you have to throw more…but you have LT. Let him run. He’ll find the end zone. I hate Norv Turner.
6:56 - “There are 10 bad offenses in the league right now. Carolina is one of them.” You don’t say.
6:17 - That’s a fairly frustrating penalty if I may say so. We successfully roll out Vinny for a first and now it’s third and long. Packers, meet draw play.
5:12 - OHMIGOD. What is this Noah’s Ark graphic they are running with????? I’m freaking out. That was absolutely Baldy’s idea.
4:15 - Yay! Ryan Grant - who is currently gashing us - makes the ark too!
3:51 - Why. Are. You. Arguing. About. The. Stupid. Ark?
2:10 - It’s called a quarter package I think. Oo. Driver got rocked. For a first down. 2 minute warning.
2:00 - Brian Baldinger thinks Brett Favre could play this game in a pair of flip flops and shorts. This is out of control.
- Eli Manning to Brandon Jacobs. Ignore that Fanhouse link please. Jacobs is going off.
1:29 - “anybody could get the ball on any play.” Out-standing analysis. Donald Lee touchdown. Dammit.Dammit.Dammit.
- And he got a face full of thick Wisconsin cheesebeer. Mmm. Cheesebeer.
- I’m going to request knees, please here. Nothing good can come from trying to score right now.
- Really? You really don’t think many teams have their quarterbacks and wide receivers spend time together reviewing tape? I have trouble believing that.
:26 - Okay things just happened. Suddenly we’re trying to get six here. I’m calling interception on a crucial third and four. That’s just what I’m seeing here. In field goal range.
:21 - Second and six. We got flags!!! Flagsflagsflagsthingthingsthings. Oh. Colbert went out of bounds. Make that an interception on third and eleven. Fixed.
:16 - Aight! Two shots to the end zone. No f’ing picks and a…booth review. Can you really review pass interference? I’m not looking to Baldy for answers, but I’m pretty sure it’s not reviewable.
Suite mercy. Just throw us an f’ing bone. Oh and it’s Saratory (sp?) not Leavy. My bad. Colbert was pushed out of bounds first. Good call. Everyone in Wisky needs to settle down. They’re dogpiling us right now.
First and goal. Sigh. Vinny gets absolutely mugged and coughs up the ball. Deeeesaster.
:09 - There’s like a 70 percent chance Favre fake knees us here.
