The offense is fine. Don't worry about it.

The defense still can't generate pass pressure, and still can't cover deep throws.

Both kickers are unreliable.

Welcome back, Johnny Jolly!!

I'll be worried about the pass rush if it's still bad with Datone out there. And Eddie Lacy is ruining my fantasy draft strategy.

I don't think the special teams of the Packers will ever learn to stop turning there backs to the ball when punting. Time and time again these b@@bs turn the ball over having no idea wtf they are doing. No pass rush = BAD but other than that they played pretty well. Like that Micah Hyde.

You're absolutely right about Jolly. He's a lot like he was in 2009. Bats balls, plays run well, not a very good pass rusher. The pass defense gave up 5 plays of 20 yards or more, that's worrisome too. Really hope Hayward, Williams, Cobb, and everybody else starts to practice again and hopefully be ready for week one.

I loved the play action to Lacy on a Finley completion. Sigh of times ahead?

I thought Perry played the run well. I'd like to see more pass rush. Corner play was better tonight. Safety play was not.
Lacy looked great. Bakh did well except on that play. Finley looked good. Good stuff from Jolly.

And if I ever see a 350 lb man do a spin move while running out of the endzone again, it'll be too soon. LOL!

We really need to find and settle on a return man. With Nelson uncertain for week one and Cobb already in pain, does MM really want to risk Cobb? They have about 3 weeks to get it figured out.

Unlike last week, tonight the Packers were ready to play and McCarthy deserves some credit. I agree with your observations regarding the lack of defensive pressure by the first unit. However, it's really hard to determine the performance of this group with Datone Jones, Tramon Williams, and Casey Hayward out. Although it's a little discouraging to see Micah Hyde make more plays than Nick Perry. On the whole, though, a good effort by the entire team.

Hyde is already the best tackler in the secondary and is a great blitzer. This guy is going to be a great player.

Finley looked outstanding. Tempting me once again to take him earlier than I probably should in fantasy.

Might as well have BJ be the back up. At least he has NFL talent. We would win maybe four games is Harrell was our starter. I still think BJ will be a good qb by next season. He has the tools.

Big improvement by Young tonight, playing within the offensive scheme. Went through his progressions rather than looking for daylight. Made a really nice throw on what could have been a TD with an experienced receiver.
Coleman lacks a cool head.
Poor interior pass rush push by #1 D.
Boykin's made it.
I'll take Bostic over DJ Williams.
Dezman Moses had some bad looking plays. Mulumba looks more like a playmaker, though green.
With his miss tonight, Tavecchio put the job in Crosby's lap.
Johnny Jolly amazes me.

Players that stood out to me in some sort of way, tonight...

Eddie Lacy - WOW... Packers haven't had a RB like him in I don't know how long.

Johnny Jolly - looked like his old self. His ability to tip passes at the line of scrimmage is something that the d-line has lacked while he has been gone.

Jermichael Finley - He looks like he is determined, and matured. After making big plays I didn't see him messing around. I expect big things from him this year.

Micah Hyde - Minus the long pass he gave up, which he made a huge point saving tackle, Hyde really played well. He looks like he can become an effective blitzer. I really like what I see with Hyde.

Jarrett Boykin - He will be a very good 4th WR this year. He just seems to make plays when needed.

Andy Mulumba - He flashed to me tonight. I think he will win a roster spot.
Also Nate Palmer for the first time that I have seen made some plays as well.

Backup QB's - Harrell is a 'game manager' I guess? He doesn't do anything impressive, but looks like he might be able to 'manage' a game.
Young, I thought looked better this week then last week. He had a TD, that wasn't called a TD, which was a perfect throw.
Coleman looked a lot better this week then anytime before. He has a hell of a arm. For him its all mental.

Brandon Bostick - I believe he made the 53 man roster.

Josh Boyd - Looks good to me as well. Before I thought that it was going to come down to him and Jolly but right now, I'm kind of wondering if it will be between him and CJ Wilson.

Sam Barrington - to me looks like he belongs.

Eddie freakn Lacy.....I agree RC when was the last time we had running back that is not only good but fun to watch? Was that skittles wearin the green n yellow?

I thought the pass-rush was generally better than most posters are giving credit. Seemed to me their was consistent breakdowns in the Rams pocket even though we didn't always get home, especially by the second and third teamers.

Bakh played pretty well for his first dome-turf test. He is really active moving his feet and positioning himself in front of the defender. Don't know how he'll stack up against bull-rushers since he doesn't carry a lot of weight. The run blocking was pretty mediocre, but Lacy wasn't. Need to keep that guy healthy cause he shook some people off to get extra yards. What a difference maker he could be.

Thought the second and third stringers acquitted themselves much better compared to last week.

I believe jones is going to make a difference with this pass rush. Everyone should have known perry was underperforming when mike neal starting taking OLB snaps. That said. I think neal could make the transition well. And could become a great pass rusher from the outside. Potentially.

Wow Eddie Munster was ridiculous. Anyone notice how quick Rodgers release was on play action? I'm calling it. This offense is going to be more effective than 2011

Seeing as though Rodgers has looked very sharp thus far, and it's likely that Cobb and Nelson won't play again next week, I'd kind of like to see McCarthy rest ARod completely next week against the Seahawks.

I think Carrol is a slimeball and that defense would try to hurt Aaron if given the opportunity. I'd be a lot more comfortable seeing how Bakhtiari stacks up against a good-to-great pass rush without the potential of Aaron getting hit. Plus it would give Young more snaps.

Johnny Jollys story is truly amazing. It is fantastic to see fans get behind him. I'd love to hear him interviewed by CHTV.

DJ Williams is going to lucky to make this team. Way to many drops. Quit worrying about d-line pressure. Its all vallina, Capers isn't going to show any schemes in pre-season. Jolly is a Gilbert Brown clone, he's in.

Bring on the Niners.

I just hope McCarthy stays with the no-huddle offense once the regular season starts. I think Micah Hyde may be pushing Casey Heyward for the starting LCB position. He's already much more physical than Tramon Williams who better get out of the tub if he wants to make the club. I think the Packer brass is ridding itself of perennially injured players. Take note Tramon your days may be numbered!!!
