How Long? As long as it takes! Rodgers is in control. I see no panic. He's playing Cautious. Can't blame Rodgers for the screw ups. The Offensive Line never was ready. The emphasis was on defense. And it's the reason were 2-0. Rodger's is throwing the ball well. He's doing whats right for the future. But are the Toys he has, right for the future? That question can't be answered until we see the OL do their job right.

Cory.....dude...chill ax man,
The Packers are 2 & 0 against two division rivals with two top defenses.
This is a brand new offense, so brand new that Rodgers has to wear a wrist band with plays on it.
Most of us knew this wasn’t going to be the greatest show on tundra overnight and that the Defense would have to shoulder the load early on.
The Packers offense:
Veteran offensive line
Star QB
Star WR
Excellent RB’s
If by game six or so things still aren’t clicking on offense ok then it’s time to wonder what is going on with #12, but right now lets just ride the 2 & 0 gravy train man.
Enjoy the ride baby!
Go Pack!

To me it's a bit of a surprise how much pressure the o-line is giving up. Also a bit of a surprise we still don't have a TE getting involved (most likely due to the defenses we've faced). With 2 weeks of game film to study the adjustments should start to show up on the field. AR doesn't throw ints and lives to play another down. We will see improvement every week on offense, it just may take a few more weeks. Meanwhile opposing teams are studying our defense and will find ways to attack it, so the offense has to improve for more balance.

It will improve game by game this is what happens when they don’t play together in the pre season , I expect Tomorrow to see a more balanced offense.

It would help if we had a TE that could get open occasionally. It is only two games into the season, but I have seen nothing different from Graham this year than from his mediocre last year. MLF's offense needs a good TE and it is looking more and more like Graham is not it. I have never been on the Tonyan bandwagon, but maybe it is time to try him.

It would help if they actually played a TE that could. Graham isn't really a TE. He's an oversized WR who has lost the speed and quickness that made him successful.

Graham had more yards than Trey Burton last year and was ranked 10th among all TEs. All while he was injured. At some point he will start clicking. Look at how old Witten is or Greg Olson. Jimmy Graham will produce...I’m thinking 6-7 TDS this year...he already has 1.

Most thought that it would take longer for the offense to gel than the D this year. I see progress and it should continue. Against the Bears we had 1.5 good drives and it was enough. Against the Vikings we had 1.5 quarters worth of good offense and some key first downs down the stretch and it was enough.

I’m betting we see a better offensive result against the Broncos and it will be more than enough...like maybe we will carry the success all the way into the third quarter without turnovers. When we get a full game of offensive game planning like the first quarter of the Vikings game, watch out. Then add a few studs next year and DYNASTY!

People need to remember that in both games this year so far Rodgers was playing with a lead. In that situation the offense is trying to use up the clock as much as possible, it's called clock management. So waiting until the last second to hike the ball and holding onto it is using up valuable seconds off the clock. We didn't see that against the Vikings until they had a decent lead.

The offense will get better as the year goes on. They made the first step to help that happen this week by starting Jenkins. I think we'll see marked improvement on the OL from now on.

First, everything on offense begins with the OL and the Packers OL
has been shaky at best in pass protection so far. Next consider that we have faced 2 of the better defenses in the league so far and since they are division rivals they know Rodgers extremely well.

Third this is a new offense so everyone including Rodgers is still learning their way. Beyond this we need to consider that after Adams are WRs are just not that good. I won’t give up on them at this point, it’s still too early. But they are later round picks. As for our TEs the Packers promoted Baylis from the PS this week which may mean that Graham is either injured or a move is coming up for him. In any case this team needs a TE to emerge in a big way and I doubt if it is Graham.

Playing an unfamiliar opponent like the Broncos this week might give the offense a better chance to get in sync and open up as we’ve been expecting. For sure this offense needs to be better by the time we play the Eagles and Cowboys. Thanks, Since ‘61

Lots of questions and few answers. Fortunately the D is stout. Everyone is saying it takes 4-6 weeks or more to become comfortable with a new O. I’m hoping the Pack are fast learners. I’m also not worried about the WRs. They’ll produce. Last week’s 1st quarter was a snap shot of things to come!
I’ll be honest with you all, I feel as if I’m in a dream. I never anticipated the Pack being 2-0 with a strong opportunity to push it to 3-0. They have definitely caught the NFL off guard as they climb the power rankings. After this week, how many of the 9 teams will still be in the coveted Undefeated Group? My guess: 6 with Buf, Bal, & LAR falling from the class. (My hot take is Cle defeating the Rams.)

The season is not very long, and every game counts. I get where Cory is coming from. The Packers offense did create more points in the second game than the first. You could chalk that up to the different defenses the Packers played against. Are the Packers getting better on offense? I am sorry, but I am not convinced. During the game against the Vikings, the Packers had to call a timeout because they were not ready for the next play. The very next play, the Packers can't get the ball to the QB from the line of scrimmage.

I love the Packers, and I am a big fan. At this point, I just hope they reduce the errors and sloppy play. At that point, they should get better. A 2-0 start should tell the Packers that they have two less games to get it right.

"It's awesome to watch his demand of those guys," said Hackett. "And everything has to be perfect. And I think that's what's so awesome to see."

The level of perfection that Rodgers may be demanding/looking for hasn't been seen since 2011 and now may be a figment of 'his' imagination. It sounds as though Rodgers is attempting to mold the offense to a scheme in which he devised and not the scheme of the HC. We seen this movie before and ignored what was going on because the failed defense hid it. The defense may now be putting emphasis on the problem for the offense and some may not like what it reveals.

I hope the offense gets on track and maybe that track comes easier if Rodgers doesn't demand what they can't provide but use what they can do to the maximum.

With that I say....GB 20-13.

P.S.
Miller and Chubb are hungry...may be game changing....careful OL.

So when this same non production occurred over the last few years most blamed the root cause on MM. Not saying he didn't have a share of the issues but it surely seems like he assumed the lion's share. I get it, superstar QB vs head coach as a fault is a predictable debate in most circles.

This year many are blaming the O line for the miscues of #12 and there may be a kernel of truth to be had. Would you guys what to go up against the Bears and Vikings D with a QB who runs the play chock down predictably to 0 before the snap and then manage to hang on way too long?

I've wondered what the attitude in the trenches is really like when they take the blame for all the sacks/pressures/hits.

Rodgers also isn't moving anywhere close to his exploits in the past, which does happen with age and injury(s). This same issue has affected many other star QBs and most have overcome by going much quicker in the counts and process. Not 12. Not popular I'm sure but to me this year is playing out like the game has stopped slowing down for him and he is having a tough time accounting for the same variables that he dominated like no other in the past. No question he can still but the ball on the money in situations that few in the league can manage. The same athlete is also throwing balls low and at the feet of receivers without pressure and that will not win championships.

The two games after we play after we play Denver will be the best indication of where this offense is at during MLFs first year as HC.
Good news is that we have a defense and we have better special teams! That alone counts for a good record.

We have the eagles next on Thursday night , 3 of their receivers are questionable for tomorrow, the Packers defense will be all over Wentz. Also I am not buying into the Cowboys yet, they beat the Giants and Redskins and I think they have the Dolphins next.

About 75% of teams that start the season 3-0 make the playoffs, so obviously a win here puts us on the path. Frankly, I never imagined we'd be at this point.

This is a long, hard season against tough teams. People get hurt. Right now, we're missing Raven Greene for the rest of the year, and Burks hasn't played yet. We're down two of our gameday 21 right off the bat. That's a 10% drop. And of the remaining 19, some are already less than 100% healthy, so now you're only at 80% strength.

The defense looks good, but they'll have to prove it against Prescott and Mahomes.

Offensively, I'm not quite sure what people are complaining about. So far, we're 2-0, we've had a 100 yard rusher, and our entire starting line is practicing with each other every day. This is all good.

We aren't scoring a lot of points, but IMO, if we just don't turn it over and Scott keeps punting good and we play good defense …..we should be in every single game.

On the subject of turnovers, I did a little research: Adams fumbled twice in 2016 and those are the only fumbles of his career. Jamaal Williams has never fumbled in his career (jinx) and Jones has 2 in 290 touches in his career. And of course, Mr. Rodgers coughs it up pretty close to never. We have a chance to be historically good at protecting the rock this season and that would be a huge boost.

During the offseason, I frequently reminded people that if you ran more you'd throw less. More throws to the TE and RB meant fewer targets of any WR not named Adams. We started with several candidates for the WR spot opposite of Adams: Allison, MSV, ESB, Kumerow,Shepherd, Davis.....and we've already lost one to injury and one to trade.

But the #2 WR isn't going to get a lot of targets because we want the ball in the hands of other people on offense: Jones, Williams, Adams, Graham...….. Now, if Adams misses time, our WR unit is a lot thinner, but if he remains healthy, the #2 guy just won't get that many opportunities.

Right now, it's Allison/MSV/Kumerow as the #5 option on offense. If we can line up any of them and they're healthy then that's a good situation for us.

The picture looks nothing like you.

A. Rodger's - Remember

When in doubt, use the "Draw Play"

Let's see if we can spot the problem:

Davante - 17 targets, 11 rec, 142 yds
Allison - 4 targets, 4 rec, 25 yds (1 TD)
MVS - 11 targets, 7 rec, 71 yds
Kume - 1 target, 1 rec, 12 yds
Davis - 1 target, 1 rec, 28 yds

Graham - 6 targets, 3 rec, 30 yds (1 TD)
Lewis - 4 targets, 2 rec, 14 yds
Tonyan - 1 target, 1 rec, 28 yds

A Jones - 7 targets, 5 rec, 34 yds
J Williams - 6 targets, 5 rec, 28 yds (1 TD)

Without the 47 yarder against the Bears, MVS has less receiving yards (24) than both Jones and J Will. Same for Allison...pathetic. 2 guys (Davis, Tonyan) have more yards with 1 catch. Davante by himself has more production than the rest of the WRs combined so far. He has more production than all of the TEs combined so far. And that is the problem. Teams take away Davante as best as they can because they have nothing else to fear in the passing game after him. GB needs another weapon either through trade or someone stepping up and it needs to happen fast or it's going to be a loooooooong, disappointing season.

The one story everyone keeps missing here: MLF has only called the plays on offense for barely more than 1, count that—one—NFL season.

So in addition to a new head coach, new offensive scheme, playing the #1 defenses from the past two seasons, protection issues, receiver depth concerns, and TE concerns, you must *also* account for essentially a rookie play caller.

At best, all we can say is that we can’t say much about this offense yet—with one exception: MLF scripted the hell out of the Vikings game. Hot knife, meet butter! Once they got through the script, though, the magic was gone.

How much of the struggles are just MLF’s growing pains? I imagine it’s hardest to be brilliant in real-time during your first season as a play-calling head coach. He was down on his own play-calling, publicly, immediately after the Bears game. He clearly nailed the first 4 series (at least until GA coughed up the rock). But it shouldn’t be surprising that on his 3rd game he’d struggle to respond as the defense eventually adapted.

Maybe his play-calling is beside the point, and maybe it isn’t. Like all the rest of the offense, it’s simply too soon to tell.

How long can we expect this “learning the new scheme” to take? So these are practice games for the offense and the rest of the team is covering for them. Let’s be clear, this offense isn’t ready for prime time.
