ARE playing!

NFL network saying ARE active and caldwell out... true?

favre's panties!

espn reported are in too.

ARE ARE ARE ARE ARE!!!

Wet field. The key is gonna be tackling well on the passes inside 15 yards. Sure wish they had Marcus out there.

Johnny on the Spot Jasno.

How's that Lambeau beer?

Tyler Ecker has to be worried about Cody Boyd learning the playbook.

Also, what position did we sign DeMulling to play? Offensive Impediment? Maybe he blocks well.

Still don't think ARE should be returning punts today. Surprise us and put in Lloyd.

Also, with Packers O-line polka dosie doe (sp.), I'm thinking about 4 false starts on the Pack O-line, esp. with some anticipatable fake blitzes from G. Williams.

Where's Kili Lefotu? I thought he might play...

Hungover?

Still in the pokey?

All this Fox pregame crap is about Dallas/NE. The are compelled to switch to Skins/Packers, aren't they?

OK, I'm OK with monoblogging for a while. I'm guessing that Fox didn't bother to "refocus group" that transformer guy on the lefthand side of the screen ... just went straight to the producers of the movie to buy the ad space. That thing has to be done after this year.

why do they always bring up Gibbs'all time records? I know he's St. Joe and can do no wrong, but when they tell me he's 30-6 all time against NFC North teams I have to think....

The NFC North didn't exist in Gibbs 1.0
The teams that are currently in the NFC North are totally different (make-up wise)after 2 decades (plus they don't get to play the Bucs 2x a year)

1991 season:
Detroit Lions 12-4
Chicago Bears 11-5
Minnesota Vikings 8-8
Green Bay Packers 4-12
(Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3-13) Now in the NFC South

You just can't say Joe Gibbs is 30-6 vs. the NFC North all time... its apples and oranges.

MW with hamstring problems on a wet field?? Uh oh. I hope nothing happens more to it.

Hey aren't we supposed to be on that gametime chat instead?

charlie, i was thinking about that game chat. did anybody try it out last week? what's the format like?

Dorf,

"They" also have been commenting all week that the Skins have not beat the Packers in AGES and that we have been outscored 67-9 in our last few games against them.

In fact, Merrill Hoge said this morning on NFL Matchup that the Packers D is "brilliant" and that "young Jason Campbell" is going to have a rough day.

I also watched Comcast pregame ish this morning with Ray Brown and Chick Hernandez (I hate that guy).

It has to be the worst produced sports show I've seen. A lot of awkward pauses while the visuals and cut-aways are segued. No chemistry between the two guys (CH is annoying and Ray Brown is boring) Ug. That's why I don't watch pregame shows. Should have gone to church instead.

It doesn't look this way in interviews, but there are something about Jason Campbell's eyes when he has a helmet on ... its like he has eye liner on or something ... looks like a dragon or a demon or something. Just noticed this, not man-loving on the guy (not that there's anything WRONG with that!).

nice piece on jc on fox...

marcus out worries me...

gotta get to farv-rah!!!

game oooooooon!!!!!

Well, Caldwell better be out 'cause ARE is IN.

HAIL SKINS
HAIL ThRedSkins

watchin at a bar - be checkin in L8r

Rok Rok AUN!

Do you think the Fox guys have to come in early to do pre-game for every game that's shown locally around the country (with a tape delay so that it looks like its live before the game)? Or do you think this is actually the second biggest game this weekend (i.e., the two teams with one loss, after the two undefeated teams)?

What do "they" know Lisa?

Go Skins.

Also, my parents have the NFL Network and I have to say its pretty good... but what do they do in the offseason? Show old games?

Hola blog. Just getting caught up from one hell of a birthday weekend. Ready to watch the Skins whip up on the cheeseheads.

HTTR!!

Just switched to FOX... the 1st thing I see is the Pats/Cowboys pornography. Ug.

This game needs to be done and over with?

Jimmy Johnson just made a TO joke about him dropping his popcorn. Great.

Getcha Cheese Wedge ready!

Player to watch:
Guys, I was at the game last week and can tell you that Godfrey was EVERYWHERE. Watch for 57 to step in for 53 nicely.

Big game, could actually get some national attention if we take down the "great Fauvre" blahh. I hate that washed up dude being shoved down my throat ass the greatest thing ever.. Madden seems to want to marry the guy.

Running game needs to show up and Cooley will be open so needs a big game.

Hope Brett's old ass doesn't prove me wrong.

Wow - Emmitt picked the Skins. Keyshawn still the only hater.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/notebook?page=sundaycountdown07

Is anyone else playing today besides the Cowboys and Patriots?

bigfish,

I don't think so.

Yay! It's fubball time.

God, Lambeau is gorgeous. I've got my Lucky Oreo Pizza, my Key Lime Pie Yogurt, and my Cooley jersey. Lucky dog is on the couch next to me.

Let's kick this thing off!

Tried the gametime chat, clicked and nothing happened...

Cindy, any details on the Kili Lefotu Incident? It's got to either be a fight over a girl or a fight over booze. I'm betting on the girl. Is he still in the klink?

In times of distress, I often ask myself, "What would Kili do?" Now I know.

What a combination Diddy. I've got my pint of Double Chocolate Stout and after that I'll be breaking into the 6 pack of Hobgoblen Dark English Ale.

Go Skins!!!

What happened with Kili? He's on the practice squad.

Gametime chat is boring. The action is wherever Cindy is. If this game turns into a blowout, we should all go over to the Bog and say hi.

I love this Kinko's commercial..."Sue, you're in charge of waffling."

c dub, As soon as this game is over I'm hopping right back on the Favre wagon. How can you hate that guy?

Until then:

F Favre
F the Pack
F Meshawn

I like how they have Troy doing the game.

FedEx/Kinkos commercial is hilarious.

"Ted, you keep thinking everyone is out to get you."

"They are."

Kili:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/13/AR2007101301652.html?hpid=moreheadlines

Holy sh$%. Thanks Diddy!

Are you sure?

Korey Hall is unstoppable!

It's about time for a Favre interception.

OMG! I almost called that.

you jinxed it bigfish

And...the defense holds! Nice play by The Reaper.

Is it me, or have punters in the NFL become a lot more adept at landing balls inside the 20? I wonder what the league-wide stats are on that...

At least we stopped them. I'll try not to let it happen again.

I say we all take a road trip to Virgacolomentoflagantonio.

Reaper almost made me a prophet on who gets the record setting INT

Does Toyota really do those 'tests?' I'd rather have them make their Tundra's a couple Gs cheaper than to see it stop an airplane!

YES! PAM OLIVER IS BACK!

Pam needs a new hairdresser.

GB with the run blitz on first down...

Must be some Skins fans at the game. "COOOOOOOOOLEY"

Update - Romo just threw another interception!

Frosty definitely didn't land that one in the 20. Lousy punt.

"The Comebacks" looks like the dumbest movie of all time.

I don't care Diddy, she's back and I don't have to listen to Suzy Kolber anymore.

Didn't Moss and Campbell hang out this summer and get their timing down? Sheesh.

why didnt moss make the catch? I dont have the game on tv

D'oh!

Nice no tackle there Double Move.

there goes the no big plays this year

Moss missed it because it wasn't a great throw. Oh. TD GB.

SC, errant pass by JC, threw off his back foot.

Touchdown Packers.

F the Packers.

Oh Boy! Here we go.

SC - The pass was overthrown. Wasn't Santana's fault.

Carlos got burnt on that 60 yarder? doh.

These Toyota commercials HAVE to be CGI. I can't imagine spending all that money to build those contraptions out in the desert.

I had key lime yogurt, too! The thick and creamy yoplait variety. Perfect end to my 5-mile run.
Well, Favre and the Pack did a nice job there.
On another matter, I see your Calvin Schiraldi and raise you one Bruce Hurst.

Double Move didn't get burned. He missed a tackle. Rocky McIntosh missed his assignment because the TE was lined up in the backfield and ran that route up the seam.

Lisa, you're right... Wade's tongue is disgusting.

Working on Lefotu details. Isn't it always a woman who's to blame?

Nice play by Harris. Meanwhile, check out the Iggles. The Jetsies really are crummy.

Jets uniforms look like a high school team's.

Buona sera peeploggers! Best friend was in town so I got back from breakfast just in time for kick-off. Only now am I in full game day mode/regalia/mentality.

Double Move on that long ball ugh.

But here we go nice 1st CP.

'Skins have already given up half the yards they gave up last week to the Lions.

sfskin

bad coverage by RockyMac (sucked up by the play fake)
double move just missed the tackle (go low, young man, go low)

Adam

Gawd - Why didn't Sellers get the ball at the end of that Giants game? Yes I'm still sore.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEY!

I'm a wee bit worried about ARE with the hammy and the cold but that twisting tackle didn't seem to make a difference.

SELLERS!

COOOLEY!! Umm would have TD'ed if he weren't so big and got his feet ahead of him!

COOOOOLLEEEYYY

cooooooooooooooleeeey

Wise flew into GB this morning from Minny and sends me this post on his conversation with the pilot:

He said he wants my job and was horribly dismayed that I wasn't sure whether Randle El was playing. "That's like me not knowing whether the wings are de-iced," he said. Funny guy.

Cooley rumbin, bumblin, stumblin

Adam

Devin Hester is freaking amazing

SOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPPPP!!!!

JC with the TD! Yeehaw! Old-fashioned shootout!

ewww... that was ugly Campbell.

Did Cooley seem slow to you guys?

SOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUPPPPPPPSSSSSSSS

Hail to the Redskins....

designed QB sneak, diddy?

What did Hester do???

DC Noodle is looking pretty good.

Dorf - I was thinking the same about Cooley being slow but after watching the replay it didn't look too bad. Maybe because the replay was in slow motion:-)

Hester got an 89 yard punt return for a TD.

No, JC showed really good patience, saw nothing open in the endzone, and rambled in. Not exactly graceful, but it got the job done. Flag on the play was Illegal Contact on the D, declined, obviously.

Damn! wished Cooley scored he's my starting TE in my FFL and I need some points, too many player injured or on bye weeks

Cooley did seem horrendously slow, but that's why he's not a WR!

Both Soups and Cooley looked a little stumbly bumbly but I'll take the stumbly bumbly TD.

HAIL HAIL HAIL!!

Hey was it me or did Favre use the ref as a nice pick on one of his dink/dunks earlier? He's one of the best at that.

dorf,

I don't know about slow, but it looked like Cooley started his stumble at the 30.

others - 89 yrd TD return by Hester, made the first 4 dudes miss, then off to the races. Sick.

Adam

Swissham with both kickoffs to the 8. Get some more leg into it.

My neighbor is a Pack fan, he just shouted over the deck that Cooley was moving down the field at the speed of erosion.

Wow. Hester is a freak.

just saw the replay of hester...dude's an alien!

Hester is amazing. But this is the end of his career. Always feel like when a guy has big year or two of returns they then inevitably disappear. Remember KC - what was his name?

So if you're playing the Bears, shouldn't you just go for every 4th down? Why bother to punt?

Adam

Does it sicken anyone that the Wal Mart commercial is a Cowboys commercial, too?

Defense holds, Packer punt, ARE fair catch.

speed of erosion. hahaha

Sheesh I forgot what a tool Aikman is as a commentator.

just saw the replay of hester...dude's an alien!

I'm somewhat serious about the no punt vs the Bears strategy. Bad O plus lethal PR; why not?

Adam

SMACK... that was very nice. You're a classy guy.

Are the Pack putting 8 in the box? We're still running on them

JC holding the ball far too long on that. Intentional grounding.

speed of erosion - LOL!

What's up with ads? Isn't this the national game and therefore lots o'ads? Or do they want to get it over so Cowpukes and NE?

More random news, Tony Gonzales breaks NFL tight end TD reception mark

Adam

Campbell can't take a sack like that one.

3rd and 14, JC scrambles, avoids the rush, hits Cooley. Cooley having a monster game today...1st down

Cooley was thisclose to a spectacular catch.

Aaaoooohhhh so close!

looks like a big day for Cooley

cooley = erosion
aj hank = slower geological phenomena

Right off the fingertips. That would have been nice.

Missed a facemask call there.

I know! How obvious does it need to be. HHis whole head turned

Todd Wade getting absolutely manhandled today.

Nice clip of Favre's first ever NFL pass...against the 'Skins at RFK in that 55-10 win over the Falcons in 1991. Picked off, Andre Collins with the TD :-)

Suprised we havent heard from KGB yet.

So any sighting of the "Le Recepteur"?

Double Move got lucky on that tackle. Someone needs to run him through some tackling drills this week.

Non, sfskin. Our guy is on le bench today. Still plenty of weeks for him to come in and lead the league in receiving.

I WAS AT THAT GAME! It was my only Skins game at RFK! It was AWESOME! Except the loser people in my section who sat basically the whole game. I was the only one up and screaming and yelling and cheering.

Didn't they though bigfish?

That End made Wade his SJK. That pocket is looking worrisome to me.

Raining in Lambeau.

Poor Redcoat. What a dismal year for him.

Yeah Soups looks to have to do a lot of scrambling this game.

Neeeiiiicccceee Mr Cartah!

Bring on the rain!!!

Nice pressure by Monty on Favre there. We need more of that.

It was 56-17 diddy... I just did a math lesson on stem and leaf charts with Redskins scores from 1991.

Still an ugly blowout...

Favre's rattled. Not gonna make it through the game. Thinking about retiring.

(Not really)

Bend don't break!

HaHa te. I was gonna say...Favre doesnt get rattled.

I know it's football and why the he!! is it still baseball season but this headline?!?

Report: Steinbrenner giving up control of Yankees

Grande Pescado - how is that bomb shelter cause here is another sign.

NICE D! Praline! They are running around like headless chickens!

Is Gibbs coaching the Packers today? That looked like a call he would make.

Great D but for one missed tackle!

I held off on construction of the bomb shelter after the Cowboys came back and beat the Bills. Is that headline true? I may have to break out the plans again.

Great D but for one missed tackle!

And one dropped INT.

Jerome, you'll talk a big game and do nothing. God, I love that commercial.

55-10 was the score of the 49ers game a couple of years ago, right?

That 56-17 game was something else...ah, the memories. That 1991 team was very special, and we all knew it. Yet after that miserable pre-season, lotsa people calling into Ken Beatrice's show calling for St. Joe to be fired. Heathens.

Actually, Gibbs does apper to be coaching....he turned around and was talking to a player a little while ago.

So, CP gets a 20 yard gain and Aikman says, "Portis isn't running like we've seen." You're right, he's getting positive yardage.

I love Troy, but F Troy!

Gibbs may be coaching but it looks like he's letting Saunders call the plays (for now, anyway).

D'oh! Deflection off Moss, pick by Charles Woodson.

Randle-El caught that ball. How do they call that an INT?

I thought a tie went to the WR?

How does Green Bay get the ball? That will be challenged.

I so was NOT at that 1991 game. I was at the Atlanta game in 1993. It was also a win but not nearly as exciting. I wish it were th 1991 game.

Ummm jump ball! That's ours dagnabit!

GB has two studs at CB. Gonna have to win this one with CP/Betts and Cooley.

I think you have to challenge that

Santana stinking up the joint...2nd drop passed by him

This time for an interception

I don't know how that's an INT. Amazing.

We need to get fired up!

Yeah Aikman is a huge tool.

Gibbs is hot under da collah today! I like it!

That was so our ball. Stupid refs! Stupid Aikman. Shut up.

Conspiracy theory...Favre's last year....refs doing everything (maybe unconsciously) to get him one last shot at the Super Bowl.

The ball was a little high, but what's up w/ Santana that he can't catch anything this season? Brunell's passes were not always on the money, but he never seemed to have an issue hauling the ball in.

D looking strong. Favre looking weak.

Looks like The October Brett Favre is rearing his head.

3 and out. Great D. Offense was cooking, just needs to finish.

This should be holding, not roughing the kicker...

Other can Carlos Rogers miss tackle, D is playing well.

But no production from offense from either Moss or Randle El.

Maybe they are coming back when they aren't ready. Especially Moss looks like he's half asleep out there.

Nice D! We need to get Moss some short passes to get his confidence back. Seems like everything being thrown his way is overthrown or not exactly on target.

46 degrees and rainy. Not ideal conditions for airing it out.

Maybe this will be a "hogs" type game.

Umm Soups is gigantic! He's towering over all the WRs and I noticed he has very large feet . . . .

Moss, ARE having off days. Good change for Brandon Lloyd to step up with a big day. Did he make the trip?

I was just teaching The Captain how to use his new iPod I got him for his birthday... so I missed the interception... that was lame. Moss is struggling.

Pass protection - Ugh!

Big feet=big brain.
On another note, Fred Willard is soooo funny.

Offensive line getting tossed around like ragdolls today. This guy #74 is stealing Wade's lunch money today.

Sheesh Todd Wade is getting handled like my dog handles a squeakly toy. Ugh.

Lloyd. Brandon was so open on that play if the pass protection would have held up.

Good job by Weird Al there...ran a little waggle right to get Campbell out of the pocket and give him some time.

Illegal Contact on the Peckers, first down 'Skins.

Aaron Kampman is no slouch. Guy had 15 1/2 sacks last year.

Cute...handoff to Betts, run right on that old Packers sweep. Of course, they ran right, so minimal gain. Ugh.

Wow all the 1pm games are sluggish in scores except Cleveland over My Hammy.

Got to catch that

WTF is going on with our receivers?

Yet another drop by a WR....

Gibbs just bench Moss and ARE...obvious they are not healthy.

Play "the reciever"..at least he's got a better shot at catching

Our receivers are killing us.

Man. So close, but no cigar. Anywhere -- D, O, or special teams.

I think we are due for an INT for TD

The line is playing like crap, so our receivers have got to help out by catching the damn ball. Grrrrrrrr......

Miami getting destroyed.

Ugh, Ugh, Ugh, Ugh, Ugh!!!!!!!!!!1

Seem to me to be a "Art Monk" type of game. Think you need to get McCardell some time

Two drops by Taylor. He must be working out with Carlos.

can we get a break? Dropped passes? Missed punt grounding on the 1 yard line... Missed INT?

Lets get it going.

Favre is giving Sean Taylor the record! Take it!

Is it possible the WRs are worried about footing and that's contributing to drops? Wet field + tender hammy = lack of focus on the ball.

Reaper! He's gotta get one right?

Defense is playing monster game and Favre is helping, rushing it too much.

D holds AGAIN. Offense needs to get it together.

Is it just me or Betts completely suck since he got the big contract...

Gotta score by halftime. If we do, the Packers probably won't come out for the second half. Favre will be waiting for the social security office to open on Monday.

CP quietly getting some major yards.

It's just you. Betts hasn't had enough carries to do anything, including sucking.

I think that Betts has been consistent. I think we are just seeing how much better Portis is. We didn't have him last year to compare to Betts

Definitely some Cooley fans in GB for this game.

Well, Betts was the primary back when he racked up those yards. Coming off the bench, he's not so good.

COOOOOLEY with the reception. Again, great game for #47. It's going to be a CP/Cooley game.

Thank goodness for Cooley. At least *he* wants to catch the damn ball today. Hell, even Portis can catch today. I agree they should throw McCardell in for a bit. The other receives aren't catching the ball, so their speed is a non-factor.

That FRiday's food always looks so good on TV, so bad at Friday's. They must film those commercials in a real restaurant.

Betts is CP's back-up for a reason. He's good but he ain't Portis.

Wade benched or injury? Heyer in.

Heyer will take us higher!

Why is Heyer in the game? What happened to Wade?

Heyer for Wade!!! F Jasno! I believe in this kid!

Betts is reading the blog and just made his statement :-)

Wade was getting beaten like a drum.

fish,

Aikman said Wade pulled a groin, presumably his own.

Diddy, do you beat your "Lucky Dog" when the Skins lose?

Philawarepragicago is my favorite of those commercials. That smug little college kid cracks me up.

Heyer - hopefully this is his breakout game. Seems to be handling it better than Wade.

Gotta score here. But also gotta stop Favre from theatric score in two minute drill.

Nobody is bringing me beer so I had to go get one - what did Betts do?

Wade was getting beaten like a drum.

Posted by: Cindy | October 14, 2007 02:17 PM

More like a meat

Once again I ask - how often do you flip your truck upside down and thus need stuff tied down that well?

Yes, Dorf. He's a little dropkick dog (Yorkie). I usually stick a pole up his butt and mop my hardwood floors with him.

Charles Woodson is, what, 60 years old?

Just don't pull something like the Cal Bears did last night.

Oops. Heyer missed a block there.

beep beep

Aikman is freakin' schizo in his commentary!

Team is good. Team is bad. RB is good. RB is bad. WR is good. WR is bad. I can't decide.

This #74 guy for the Packers is single-handedly killing the 'Skins offensive line. Not much pressure from anywhere else.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEY!!!!!!!!

Cooley finally having a break out game

TOUCHDOWN COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEY!

Whoever has Cooley in the fantasy league is happier than a pig in you know what...

COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLEEEEEEEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HTTR being heard in GB!!

HB pass right here

awesome!! You guys hear our fans singin 'Hail to the Redskins' in the background?! HTTR!

I guess the Packers should have somebody check 47. He's playing great, but he's consistently being left wide open.

sfskin... I liked the commercial a few years back that had the truck driving vertically up a mountain cliff and on the bottom in tiny print was "Dramatization".

Ya think?

COOOOOOOOOOOOOLEY!

....hail victory...

F!! Prioleau came up lame....

beep beep

Look at Smoot Hittin Hard!

How good is this guy?

YES!!!

Moss stop being a bum. Thx

Lloyd > Moss today

Typical....Betts suck. Therefore let's get more touches for Betts

We need a turnover here

hell yeah
