Packers punch playoff ticket against Oakland

Derek Carr completed 23 of 47 passes for 276 yards and two touchdowns in the Oakland Raiders 30-20 loss to the Green Bay Packers on December 20. It will be imperative they win their remaining games, if they want to keep post-season hopes alive. The next play, Seth Roberts broke free from left to right on a cross in the back of the end zone. When the running game wasn’t effective, the Packers couldn’t convert on third-and-long.

Trump hurls deeply personal, and crude, insults at Hillary Clinton
Sunday, Trump tweeted: “Hillary Clinton lied when she said that “ISIS is using video of Donald Trump as a recruiting tool “. Contacted recently by a reporter, four of the eight said they had not received any follow-up.

“They were playing a two-man (coverage), so the guy’s back was to me, so I tried to sneak it in without the guy seeing, and he turned his head around and caught it”, Carr explained.

The Black Sox scandal of 1919 set the stage for Rose’s transgressions 70 or so years later. “I’ve waited nine years”. After all, no one is vouching for Shoeless Joe Jackson anymore despite his clear Hall of Fame quality numbers.

Aaron Rodgers is one of the most prolific quarterbacks in the National Football League, and he has had some talented pass-catchers to throw to over his past few years with the Green Bay Packers.

But consider this feat: Cruz has managed to maintain a fragile truce with Trump while surging past him in the crucial first state. Cruz has the support of 40 percent of likely caucus goers, followed by Trump with 31 percent.

Undaunted, the offense punched it in with John Kuhn barrelling over T.J. Carrie at the two for a five yard scoring run up the middle. “Get them out there and play a little bit, get a little seasoning, let them feel what it’s like to be a pro”. We’ve won 10 games.

“After the coach and I had that talk, we left everything in that room, and it was pretty much like a fresh start, “Lacy said”.

The ineffective offense clearly is the source of the frustration.

The Raiders gave it up on downs one last time and the Pack kneeled it out for the final snap.

On the very next Raider offense snap, Carr overthrew his receiver and rookie Damarious Randle picked off the pass and raced 43 yards untouched to the end zone for his first professional touchdown and a 14-0 lead. The Raiders haven’t reached the playoffs or finished about.

“It kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth at the end of the game when your goal is to close a team out”, Lang said.

“Last couple games we’ve had ugly weather and we’ve been able to come out with some wins, so it’s huge man”, Jones said. We fight for 60 minutes. “It’s still great to be out there on the field, so we’re just going to continue to go out there and have fun”. It’s really how our last three games have gone. “We’ve taken some steps and showed some signs, but that’s something that will happen”. Their inconsistent offense is just the opposite.

“I believe in what we do and who I am”, Carr said. Five of his catches and 75 yards came in the second half, but Jones downplayed his return to the Coliseum.

This time, the defense joined the offense in its inconsistency.

McCarthy did that by putting Cobb in the backfield, which meant that if Cobb was moved out to wide receiver, the Raiders would have had to cover one of the receivers with a linebacker or safety.

Angry over the lapse, McCarthy reportedly lit into the defense at halftime.

Randall Cobb, Bryan Bulaga and Micah Hyde were likely the three most talked about Packers in Saturday’s third preseason game.

Afterward, McCarthy’s agitation spilled over into his news conference. And on Sunday, he’ll be wearing the other team’s jersey.

The Packers (10-4) clinched an NFC playoff spot, their seventh consecutive postseason berth.

Amari Cooper crossed the 1,000 yard mark today and added 2 TDs to his resume, bringing him to 6 on the season. Tonight didn’t help with Adams dropping a ball in the endzone and Janis letting a pass (even though it was a slippery ball) go right through his hands on an endzone slant route. The style points you can flush that. I’m sick and exhausted of talking about the negativities. Oakland is coming off a 15-12 victory at Denver that ended its eight-game losing streak against the AFC West-rival Broncos.

With current records, if the Packers stayed a game up on the Seattle Seahawks, they would take the fifth seed in the conference if the Vikings managed to battle back and take the division lead. That at least got the Raiders out of their base defense, which is their best run-stopping personnel.
