I see no reason to worry about whether MM or TT can survive a poor season. The problems we’re seeing have been with the team for a while. If those two prove they can’t get it done, they need to go; if the team stagnates or weakens with those two, then someone else should have a chance. The team is larger than MM or TT.

AIA, Yeah, I noticed Hawk blow a different tackle for loss earlier in the game, too. He actually got penetration into the backfield, then forgot to reach out and tackle the guy. ————————————————————————————————————————- Our O line is terrible, and they know it. I think they have so many penalties because they’re intelligent enough to know just how bad they are, and they know they’re going to get beat.
————————————————————————————————————-
But once again, it’s the same old refrain when things go badly. How many times do we see these same things? Penalties, lack of rushing attempts, poor run production…it’s nothing we haven’t seen before, which makes it all that much more irritating.

Well, at least now all the Superbowl talk can stop and we can reset with realistic expectations. That was a truly painful game to watch.

I simply do not understand how Poppinga stays on the field. I am now convinced he has incriminating pictures of someone because there is no other explanation.
______________________________________
I’m also tired of explanations as to why Bishop is not on the field more. Nice tackle (not!) behind the line of scrimmage Hawk with the game on the line. Did anyone even notice Hawk was out there until he blew that tackle?

What’s the story with Raji? What am I missing?

Its not time to panic, but there is nothing wrong with fans being pissed off after a pathetic game like yesterday.

I think its funny how some here act like there’s nothing to be pissed off about. We continue to be one of the dumbest, most undisciplined teams in the NFL. We were uninspired, ill prepared, and poorly coached. THAT’S why I am pissed and if anyone doesn’t like it, tough sh#t.

I paid a lot of money to come up here to watch that crap, and to me their performance was unacceptable.

I just want to point out that I’ve been bitching about the lack of discipline for a year now. We need to get some of that old Lombardi discipline going.

No penalties.
No dropped balls.
Wrap up your ball carrier not the guy your trying to block.
Get rid of the damn ball there is no one there to block for you.
The clock tics one second, guess what, once every second. Don’t be surprised when you run out of time. Manage the damn clock!

SCREW THE PAD LEVEL!!! Take care of the mental aspect of the game.

“So have no fear Packer fans. The offense will get it’s act together. Give them some time to solidify the line and get preseason under their belt and they’ll be good to go. McCarthy is too good an offensive coach to believe otherwise.”

Do you still like our offensive line, Aaron? ‘Cause I still don’t. This is philosophically wrong for a Packers team. And when you go against your core identity, you lose. Listen to Corey. These guys should have left with Jeff Jagodzinski.

By the way, you’re still my favorite football analyst, bar none. Thanks for putting yourself out there, week after week and getting the job done. You have soul that’s ideal for a Packers lineman.

Rodgers is not the problem. The problem is a coach who can’t change his game plan on the fly. The problem is an O line that is stocked with untalented draft pickups that can’t play their positions. The problem is a total lack of RB talent (It’s so bad they have a guy on the active roster that hasn’t practiced since the 3rd pre-season game. The problem is that the Packers are still the youngest team in the NFL (That just means that crappy rookies drafted two or three years ago are being replaced by crappy rookies they draft in the current year. I believe that all but one draftee in 2009 made the roster or Practice Squad.
______________________________
If you want to get really depressed just look at their depth chart for the O line and RB. It’s unbelievable.
________________________________
MM and TT have got to make this work, if they can. They have no other option. They made the decisions that have put the team where it is now. They have to fix it, NOW! If they fail, MM is gone this year. TT might squeek by another year, but maybe not. So, all I can do is hope and pray they are successful. The Packers mean too much to me to give up on them regardless of their current situation.

Pack66 try to think about this objectively even though I know that might be difficult for you. Even if you feel you’re right, do you think the attitude you’re taking is helping to create a healthy discussion? It’s clear what your intention is here.

CSS,

How’s that TT and AROD doing for ya’, eh?

How’s that O-Line that the genius TT assembled?

That’s utter ignorance, that you guys were actually talking Superbowl..

hehehe

Pack66, you are an utter fool. I’ve watched both Vikings games in their entirity. Favre has been sacked because of a total lack of mobility by two terrible defenses in the Browns and Lions. The internet has enough Favre apologists and we could do without them on this site. First step I would recommend for you, besides understanding basic football and being a Favre apologist, lears how to learn. You’re embarassing yourself and clearly don’t understand the game with your Favre loving blinders on. Sleep well. Oh, never mind, with your utter ignorance and simple world view I doubt issues require much processing for you. I love it when people like you blame everybody elses when Favre’s team record stinks yet it’s all his glory when they start 2 – 0. Utterly clueless…

Aaron, I guess Cheesehead TV has been expanding recently and picking up a bigger audience. Of course, as with any growth, you pick up a lot of garbage along the way (Pack66). Hopefully that can be cleaned up.

Pack66 — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:07:09 +0000

Sunflower, you are either insane, or the biggest Homer ever with Packer blinders on.

Favre threw 2 TD’s, no interceptions, and won 2 games already. He doesn’t HAVE to do anymore. Saying most of his passes are behing the line of scrimmage is ridiculous.

He played behind a pathetic O-line in GB in ‘07 and went 14-3. How? Great ability to read defenses and quick decisions/throws…An ability AROD is sorely lacking..

Don’t eat those grapes Sunflower, they’re sour, right?

wink.

I’m off the internet until week 5 at least. The sky is falling in way to many Packer fans back yards and it’s just not rational. I’ll judge this team after week 5, not until then. Good luck all….

NickGBP — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 02:02:59 +0000

All hope is not lost. We have Raji who should help sure up the run D. McCarthy will hopefully remember that this is a WCO team and start getting those slants going. I think I saw the Bengals run more slants than the Pack. I think all that preseason success with big plays downfield got to their head. Just get back to what you do and we’ll be fine.

If we don’t fix the offensive line, it really doesn’t matter. Rodgers will be on I/R quicker than you can say Bob’s your uncle.

Pack66, you are an ill informed fool. Favre has already been sacked as much as Rodgers against much poorer defenses in the Lions and Browns. He is averaging only 5 yds per attempt (lowest in the NFL) and an overwhelming majority of his completions are at or behined the line of scrimmage. Favres immobility would get him killed behined the current effort of the Packers o-line. Go troll somewhere else you marginally informed so called ‘Packer’ fan.

The Vikings beat the Lions/Browns. I am a lot more impressed by the Bears who beat the Super Bowl champions. The Broncos are 2-0. Are they going to win the Super Bowl?

I think the Packers sucked today, but does that make good players like Jennings/Driver suddenly suck. Of course it doesn’t.

I think the Packers are going to be better then 6-10.

Some solid (and sadly true) comments. I still can’t understand why TT would cut a DB who was producing and trade for a 3-4 DB who apparently isn’t ready for prime time after 2 weeks of practice. Why did MM decide to hod out a healthy BJ Raji? Is our DL perfect w/o him? (Is Montgomery better?–he was in.) I’m concerned about Rodgers–53.8% won’t cut it. (All WRs drop passes, BTW) It also is painfully obvious that TT has waited too long to look at OTs. The pantry is empty. SIX SACKS!!! unbelieveable!!

Bad day for the Pack! Three people who should not get on the field – Jarret Bush, Brady Poppinga, and Nick Barnett. Bush is a cancer with his stupid penalties. Brady Poppinga for jumping on the pile after the play has gained a first down. Nick Barnett for showboating when the team is down instead of just going back to the huddle and doing it again. Next week we need to get Martin in for Bush and #55 in at linebacker to help with the run.

Are they headed for 6-10 again? Certainly looks that way by today’s play. Key injuries and sloppy play was the name of the game today.
You had better bring your “A game” going against Ed Hochuli and his crew and it showed. A grand total of 34 penalties were thrown on both sides of the ball.

The thing you missed is how bad we were on special teams giving up 2 big punt returns compared to how well we played against Hester last week.

Well..well.well…Spud fell in the well.

Is it time to fire Ted Thompson yet for not fixing the offensive line in 5 friggin’ years..??

Can we put away the annointing oil and the MVP votes for AROD already. He’s looking very PEDESTRIAN to me. That’s another word for “SUCKAGE”….

And OH BY THE WAY…

About that other guy…he who shall remain NAMELESS…

Great Game…85% completion percentage, 2 TD’s, QB rating through the roof, and don’t forget 2-0..

Who should be the current QB for the GB Packers right now, Mr. STFU and get on the losing train?
