Shit.

DB strength 1st 4 weeks...now Achilles heel,same for pass rush...I am also depress,cause we are seeing better offenses now...really depressed

So many missed opportunities. Regardless of Rodgers, our red zone offense needs a serious evaluation because it has sputtered all year. McCoy ran all over us as soon as Jolly went down. Lack of turnovers this year is baffling.

Tough to play QB without getting the first team reps.
Very disruptive to O-line when shifting Lang, Barclay, AND Newhouse.

Not really depressed, I had lowered my expectations going in.

"Next man up" is a nice idea; but at QB, well,...

-Seneca Wallace is a bitch. He pulled a Jay Cutler when we needed him to step up.

-Tolzien looks like he can be the man.

-Capers needs to figure something out now, or retire.

-Bostick had a great game.

-These back breaking fluke plays the D is giving up are beginning to come so often, that it's hard to regard them as flukes.

-Eddie can only do so much when they're stacking the OL with 9 guys.

This defense fucking sucks.

Slow to react.
Weak at the point.
Not smart.
Can't tackle.

What is it?
Are they not up to par athletically?
Are they not physically strong enough?
Are they all stupid?
Are they not coached up?

Just so sick of having a garbage offense in Green Bay.

So bad.

That's two weeks in a row that the opposition closed the game out with long, demoralizing drives, and the D couldn't do jack FUCKING squat about it. What thehell happened to our run D? They surely shouldn't have been gassed with the T.O.P., they sucked today. Oh, and last week too.

Can I just copy and paste or just say ditto

Is this what it's like for Viking fans watching ADP run for a loser every single week? The mind reels.

This game was flat out lost by the defense, not by the third string QB who didn't get any reps.

Without ARod this is not even a mediocre team. Period. End of story.

I live in colorado and can honestly say after following the live blog, I'm glad I didn't watch this one. Wish we all missed it I guess.

Good Lord I hope Capers retires after this year. I dont see the team letting him go unless he wants to go. His inability to call a good game when the team is fully depending on his defense is so old.

"Dom Capers played a great game of checkers today. The problem, of course, is that Chip Kelly was playing chess." I'm not saying Capers without blame, but he needs his players to make a f#@%ing play at some point. The secondary looked awful again, and tackling continues to be an issue.

The effort from the d has been pathetic that last two weeks. someone needs to get canned to send a message that this is beyond unacceptable

You could've just put "I'm depressed" 14 times and I would've understood. My mom is getting awful flash backs from the 80s..

The last two weeks the poor play of Burnett has had a direct outcome in both being losses.
He escapes blame due to McMillian and Jennings being bad but considering his contract, Burnett is closer to Aaron Rouse than he is Nick Collins

I'm not sure how, but this defense (and for at least a few games running) is less than the sum of its parts. It isn't _just_ the injuries and a lack of turnovers, is it?

I guess the defense looked OK before because they were playing teams like Baltimore, Cleveland & Minnesota. The truth is that a decent offense will beat them when they need to. Without Rodgers on offense, the Packers don't have enough to overcome their defensive shortcomings.

Aaron Rouse was so forgettable that i can't really say whether you're right or wrong. I will agree that Burnett is nothing special.

Very impressed with Tolzein. He'll be the starter until Rodgers gets back guaranteed. Looks like Teddy Tee did know what he was doing after all despite CD Angelique horrible article claiming otherwise.

Unfortunate for Wallace but opportunity opened the door for Tolzein and he ain't letting Wallace back in. Packers found their future backup and he's pretty fucking good.

This guy definately is capable of winning a game with some practice time. The defense. Oh, the defense. I have nothing further to say.

Longshanks

This is three straight years the defens e us horrible. This team has talent on defense, it is simply not being us. ed properly. Dom had to go it is simply past him by. McCarthy needs to run the ball and stop throwing with a practice squad qb

I'm with most of you here... the defense is to blame. The game plan is terrible. We don't blitz. And when we do, it's usually ineffective. The secondary generally looks lost in zone, the pass rush is awful, and we can't stop teams in predictable situations. We gave up 5 ypc in the last 2 minutes when everyone and their mothers knew the Eagles were gonna run the ball. How did Dom not know?

Tolzien needs to start the rest of the year. Let Rodgers heal. This team might win one more game on pure luck. Cow you might be right on your 6 and 10. Also for Dante Jones he was a waste of a pick. They need a S and there were good players there.

poor tackling and awful pass defense again dooms the packers.

A one-handed Matthews does not help this defense.

With Rodgers out it has shown that this group of players are not well coached and our game plans and preparation is sub par. The play of this team is unacceptable, and someone has to go (capers)

How many tackles did clay miss today? Seemed like a liability with the club.

Goodbye Dom. It's been nice knowing you. Thanks for the last 1/2 of 2010.

Who else is out there that can run a 3/4? It's time.

How has Capers not been fired? How the D is playing isn't a surprise. More like a trend.

Looking at the game, gb probably would have lost with Rodgers in the game, defense looked horrible from bad coaching

This secondary is just awfull , tramon Williams should get cut , he's really bad.same for MD Jennings , what the hell is this guy doing here ...??? On offense, Newhouse really sucks ...
Well... I m depressed as well... Looks like the season is almost over...

Ted Thomson will refuse to be aggressive in free agency and the result will be another year of sub par defense

Wow such more to analize. My take:
1. Seneca Wallace wants to be anywhere but on a football field. Not surprised at all he kind of got an injury and took himself out. I was actually expecting it.
2. Rogers doesn't play defense. I'm one who believes this is the worst defense in the NFL and have believed that. Rogers made them look good by scoring more than they gave up.

3. Again, no pass rush that's effective. Worse, no stopping those end runs, on either side of the line, defensive backs may as well not even be on the field. Ted wanted late round picks and undrafteds to fill this role and that's what he got.

4. Poor tackling all around and in the end the O line looked like they played like we knew who they were.

Bigger picture, can't fix this mess with one or two drafts but until this team gets some hard core tackling corners who can cover this team is not wining any playoff games.

So nice of you to show up when things are going your way Cow!

We lost 6, count them 6 more starters today.

Overall we have had to lose: both starting tackles, Matthews (crippled), Perry (crippled), Hayward, Jolly, Rodgers, Finley, Cobb, Wallace, EDS, and Barclay in order for your retarded season prediction to have a prayer of coming true.

Remember 6-10 Cow? However to call your prediction retarded would be an insult to anyone who is mentally disabled because you you actually choose to be as stupid as you are.

You are an inbred lover of misery. You backed off this site because you knew you were wrong and now you come back when things go South for the team?

Am I resorting to insults? Yes I am. You deserve every single one.

Most people who comment here are FAIR MINDED. We are not Homers. We try to be objective and make real contributions and learn from each other.

You for some reason think you know more about football than the next Packer loving fan but you are not and your stupid predictions prove it. You may turn out to be right about the record, but it required the total annihilation of the roster to make it so.

Oh yea don't forget you said Lacy was a bust.

Please go away again and don't come back.

I recommend people who enjoy this site simply commit to ignoring you (a Cow boycott), because you are not here for any productive reason whatsoever except to bring us down to your pathetic level.

I would rather hang out with Gollum from the Hobbit than you. You make him look like Man of the Year.

You routine is so old, tired, and predictable it is even worse than some of Capers' coverage schemes...see I just threw you a bone Cow! Go fetch it. It's right over a cliff.

My apologies to other readers here for my rant, and I will dismiss myself from commenting if I have been out of line.

But enough is enough man. It's hard enough enduring the streak of shit luck the Pack has had.

GO PACK GO

Ok I feel a little better now.

F'ing defense!

At least we should draft pretty high in April ...
Hope TT gonna find a good safety and a good CB...
Not taking a safety in the draft last April was a HUGE mistake.

OK we get it together next week against the Giants. Oh, by the way they won the last three, are very much in it in division and looking hungry.
I predict Eli has another big day against us and their running game comes very much to life.
The bottom line the defense we have is what we have. They are not getting any better soon.

Rodgers will be back at detroit or before mark my words. Cow leave

Rodgers will be back at detroit or before mark my words. Cow leave you predictions were already wrong. How about the bad run blocking oh ya were top 5 trol

Keeping Capers year after year sad..hard to believe talent level is so poor,need to change coaching cause trying to change talent level could take years

not featuring the screen pass associated with play action is curious, indeed.

No doubt shitty tackling was an issue. It seems we want to strip the ball and tackle high. That's High School stuff, and Capers issue. So is the lack of the pass rush.

For 3 years D has been a major liability despite numerous draft picks on D.

I think we all see that Rodgers covers a lot of D issues.

With one playoff spot up for grabs (assuming Seahags and 49 f-off's) get their division and a wildcard.

hard to see us winning the division.

Blow the whole thing up. Er have too much talent to be this shitty.

Go Pack

Also, this hamstring injury and injury in general for the past two, maybe three years is bullshit.

What ever strength and condition program we have is total crap. Hire someone who knows what the hell there doing.

Lastly, FUCK YOU Ref's (since we're all ranting here). Not the reason we lost (Capers), but at least 4 blown calls.

GO Pack GO.
That said, here’s the killer thing as a fan.
Eagles get stopped on third and 2 late in the game. Great, right?
No, there’s a penalty that we can’t decline, making it 3rd and 7. Everyone paying attention dies a little inside, because they know that this is the worst possible thing to happen. They know that given another chance, the Eagles will easily convert, 5 yards back or no. Result: Eagles for 8 yards, 1st down.

I stated a couple of days ago that, while I expected a loss, I wanted to see our Packers at least be competitive. We didn't get that today. Losing Wallace early no doubt had an effect on that. The defense did not look bad until the last quarter (when they were tired), and our running game was as productive as it could've been. Since we are on to our third different starting QB in three weeks I will reserve a final judgement until after the NY game. The success of our season is now on the shoulders of Tolzien. For all of us who pined for a Badger to play for the Pack, well, we got it. Give your support to Scott and the rest of the Packers. A win in NY gives us hope going forward. A loss there equals a dead season.

I saw terror int the eyes of Wallace last week. the last place on earth he wanted to be was on the field taking a beating. His play showed it as he tossed the ball away when he had a path to a first down.
I think he faked his injury to get the hell off the field today. Another poor decision by Ted.
Note: The guy who beat us was a draft pick by the Eagles and the second or third stringer at that. He was not an after thought cheap available guy to sit on the bench.

There is a lot of football yet to be played.

I agree that the defense is soft, but when the offense scores only 13 you're going to have trouble winning.

What did we learn today? Among the obvious, the Packers are much better with Rodgers. However Tolzien looks like someone you could groom as a competent backup. Sure, a number of mistakes but they did move the ball down the field a number of times with him and Lacy. Plus they lost two o-lineman during the game.

Also seems like Boykins belongs. For being so slow he gets open quite often. Plus he makes the catch.

Something's wrong with this D. Not only the historic bad games giving up yards over the last few years, but the inability to stop the Bears and Eagles the last two weeks when they knew they would be running. How often do we see an RB get around the edge and go for 7 or 8 yards before contact. Maybe Walden wasn't the problem. We started the year out tacking well, but it's been horrible of late.

Clay needs his hands to be effective. It's almost cruel to see him get close and not be able to wrap-up. Plus he uses his hands as much as anyone to get the blockers off him. Don't expect much from him until the club comes off.

Could have used Crosby to make those right-hash kicks. Something about that side gives him trouble, although the kicks were straight as an arrow. Nice form - bad results.

Way too many injuries to make much noise this year. A few more today. It's not nearly the same team that started the season. Almost laughable really. And let's face it, without #12, they're going to need about every break possible to pull out a win. Fortunately, I'm a long-view fan so I feel very optimistic about this team. But it's just not going to happen this year.

Morgan Burnett is the most over-rated Packer on this team. The guy is not good. And yet, he is the best in a set of very sub-par safeties. Kills me. MD Jennings is awful. The other two guys are not even worth mentioning. At last Banjo is good on special teams. Not one of those idiots is net plus against the run. And to beat them on the pass, all you have to do is throw the damn ball straight up in the air. God Awful. If there is one area of this team where TT has gotten it wrong outside of back-up QB, its safety. Bunch of ass clowns back there.

Btw the Packers are going to lose terribly the rest of the year cause Dom Capers is a terrible D coordinator and MM is the worst coach in the NFl. Somehow this is an acceptable comment to you people. And yes I keep posting under the same name and my school email. Please for the love of god what is the standard here? Say the Pack is garbage and will lose with no stats to back it up? Or that Jayme is not worth listening to because she is a woman when in fact she is one the of smartest writers at this site? Who is moderating this crap? You guys are a joke. I have listed my school email 4 times now with my comments, but somehow you guys just move on. What is happening to my favorite packer site

Yeah I'm full of crap.
I apologize.
I am emotionally fragile. I'm afraid to get my hopes up and be disappointed, so I'm a wet blanket. Everyone hates me and I deserve it.

BOYKIN!

In Tolzien We (must) Trust

Players and coaches say injuries are no excuse. Nonsense. Why even have a depth chart if it doesn't matter who's in the game?
Yes, i know, all teams have injuries. And it affects them all.
I'm not the first one to say it's a game of attrition.

I don't have a problem with Burnett as much as I do with his supporting cast on defense. I find it difficult to single out any one player for the way the entire defense played today. We couldn't stop the run and we couldn't stop the Eagles' big passing plays. The Packers not picking up a safety in the draft or in free agency is now exposing a huge weakness on this team. Today we had the first take away since the Cleveland game. What's up with that?

Scott is a career backup at best? This is the first game you have ever watched him play in right? A bit early to make that call? Good thing the fate of his life isn't in your hands..

I thought Tolzien played very well for having never led this team before. He will be better next week, just as Seneca would've been better this week. I am very interested in seeing our team against the Giants next week.
