Can Everyone Please Calm Down?

packeraaron in Local Media, Mike McCarthy, Packer Blogs, Wisconsin Media

Wow. Never have I seen a second preseason game cause so much consternation and overreaction from both the accredited Wisconsin media and fan bloggers alike.

I’ll be putting up some posts tonight after I get a chance to go through the game on the DVR, but as a general overall point - Does anyone remember a Seattle Seahawk team coming into Lambeau the second week of preseason last year and getting blown out by the Packers? Right. That team made it to the second round of the playoffs. It even won its division.

Also, does anyone remember what the Packers’ offense looked like in Week One of last season? It wasn’t pretty. They turned out alright. And it’s also not like the 49ers put up 34 points on the Packers’ starters. They made most of their hay against the second and third string, especially Jarrett Bush. (Who will be featured in his own post here on Cheesehead TV tonight, I can promise you that.)

I am by no means saying there isn’t work to be done. (And how) But the team is much better than todays press clippings.

I could not agree more. Take a deep breath everyone. The Cowboys are 0-2. I guess they’re done (not!) I do hope the Pack keeps Lumpkin. I watched him his whole career down here in Atlanta and he’s a quality back when he’s healthy

I also agree that people really need to settle down. It was a meaningless preseason game. We just weren’t prepared and it is probably at least partially because we only had two practices leading up to the game. While the game was not pretty I am glad that this happened in the preseason where the games don’t matter and we will have the opportunity to fix the mistakes before the year begins. If the Packers struggle again next week I might start worrying a little but at this point it is too early to panic.

I’m with you on everyone overreacting (maybe even me included), but the pathetic individual efforts were alarming. Jason Spitz getting destroyed off of the line is probably my biggest concern, and Rodgers needs to get rid of the ball quicker. Our starting defense does look like its going to be solid, though.
