You know they do the Jarrod Goff chants at Wings game but I saw another hockey game that didn’t involve the Wings and a guy had a sign that said Jarrod Goff 4 times. It’s taking over the world.

 

[MalFunkShun]

Goff has been benched twice this year... it may be a sign...

For anyone that cares...

Detroit will wear the all white uniforms with normal helmets. Green bay is wearing some throwback unis. They're all green with a plain yellow helmet

 

[Monster]

Lets go!

 

[Monster]

Looks like our D are playing slower than gb O.

 

[biggunsbob]

So far defense is a step slow.

 

[Monster]

8 minute drive wow

 

[biggunsbob]

Lucky it was a bad throw. But we will take it !
14 play drive for a 3-0 lead ! 8 freaking minutes.

That is the game plan against Detroit’s offense.
Keep the ball away from it.
It’s not rocket science.

 

[biggunsbob]

Nice play call on third down.

Wasted play call on first down.
Why run 2 plays in a row ? Come on Ben.

 

[biggunsbob]

What a waste of 1st and goal. Not one pass play ? Come one Ben.

 

[gotime909]

This playcalling is trying to get them to 4th down chances. Running on every 3rd and 5+

 

[biggunsbob]

Wow ! What a catch !

 

[biggunsbob]

I was thinking to try and draw them offsides

 

[Monster]

Now lets see if the defense can get a stop. A 3 and out would break the Gb defense

 

[gotime909]

Reckless Dan in the house today. Hell of a throw by Goff.

JG must have changed the play at the the line. I think. On 3rd.
