I swear to God every time Jacobs had a run of 5 yards or more it was called back for a penalty. Wasn't it in week one when Jacobs had a TD called back on a Walker penalty? Maybe it was week two (sorry, memory issues in my older age) but it was called back.

Walker got better and better as the year wore on last season. I'm hoping he get's better and better this year and works out these errors with the penalties. I think it was a podcast where I heard that Walker was still learning Josh Jacobs running style and that could be a big part of the increased penalties. Whatever it is GET IT FIXED.

The Packers will hopefully get Jordan Love back this week against the Vikings. They have to protect Love, hopefully much like the did at the end of last season when he was hardly sacked at all. The Vikings defense is built to take away the quick passing game and it's worked because they've gotten pressure...QUICKLY. Just give Love enough time and keep him clean.

I've grown a whole new level of respect for MLF and this staff. IMO what we've seen is a growth from the entire staff. Like players the coaches have gotten better with experience. and it's showing up big time this season. I trust they'll get these penalties worked out. Hopefully it starts this week against the Vikings...God I hate the Vikings!

At this level that a player with Preston Smith's experience, there is no excuse to be lining up offsides. That is not paying attention to detail. If in doubt back up a little. He gave them 5 yards. Likewise on offense they should never line up illegally. Pay attention and concentrate and take care of your business.

Offensive holding calls are drive killers. Yes sometimes it is hard not to hold but sometimes you have to depend on the QB to get rid of the ball on a pass and let the guy go on run plays.

It has been ok the last two weeks as the Packers played teams that are not very good. It is very hard to beat good teams if you commit penalties.

Penalties start to snowball. When refs know a team has a bunch already, they don't hesitate. If a team is known to play without them the refs will overlook all but the blatant ones. I've seen this happen over and over, sometimes in the Packers' favor. May take weeks to get out from behind the eightball. It doesn't happen overnight or in this case one week. That doesn't count procedure or un-sportsman like type stuff.

3-4 penalties a game, yes, but 10 or more. Obviously more discipline needed. Repetition in practice seems to be the only answer. Work on the small things needed at times.

The Packers are again the youngest team in the league. There will be some learning curves along the way.

The good thing is there are a lot of correctable things. Pre snap penalties will happen but they can minimize that. The holding penalties can be sketchy and subjective at times, but they also can be corrected with a bit better technique.

overall I'm not concerned. But they do need to clean it up. They have had to many big plays taken away due to penalties.

I think avaialbe research is pretty clear on the efficacy of pixie dust use on self-inflicted lower extremity gunshot wounds. No need to rehash that here, Cory. Please just stick to random thoughts, non sequiturs and incomplete sentences.

Penalties, especially holding calls are such a drive killer.

Walker has committed nearly 25% of all the penalties through 3 games. He needs to stop it starting on Sunday. If his miscues continue and Rhyan does the job at RG, when Morgan's shoulder is healed, he should be moved to LT and a competition there.

LaFleur and Steno have been adamant that the in season competition on the OL improves both players' play. So let's see it at LT, if Walker's penalties continue.

I appreciate Corey's contributions, and generally don't pick at them, but this time.....

1) Yes, it's a lot of penalties. I'm not surprised that the youngest team in the league is committing a lot of penalties early in the season.

2) Coins have two sides. Yes, Smith lined up offsides. Yes, Smith also had numerous very good plays.

3) Walker has had some penalties. If he gets called for holding on first and 10, now we're first and 20. If he lets the guy get passed him and the QB is sacked, we're 2nd and 17. Which is better? We're 8th in total penalty yardage, better than Detroit, and just behind 3-0 Seattle. Raiduhs, Bucs, Titans.....those teams have the lowest penalty yardage.

4)...." a new defensive coordinator that promised sweeping changes from a team that desperately needed them. " The Packers were 9th in scoring defense last year, this year we're 12th. Why the desperation? Defense isn't measured by takeaways, or rushing yards/carry. It's measured by points. We've done well the last two weeks, but until we show up against a good offense, I'm not ready to crown them.

MacKinney should have a good game-lol.

Penalties in football are much like the strike zone in baseball: very subjective. One retired NFL ref said nearly every play could have a penalty called. What you want in an officials crew is consistency.

That said, the Packers have too many penalties called. The old ball coach drilled into the players heads that penalties often are the result of poor concentration. The offensive tackles are at a major disadvantage given the current rules. You mostly have large sprinters lined up opposite them. They have a fraction of a second to get into position and stop a large man with a bad attitude from blowing right by them. Running plays are less likely to get a hold. When that happens the defense is often slanting in the direction of the run and the blocker has little choice but to grab the defensive player and hope he doesn't get caught.

Special teams often cause a few penalties, largely because these units are mostly made up of marginal players looking for field time. Plus, a return is chaos exemplified. Again, concentration and being assignment sure are key.

I thought for a moment the last two weeks that Mike McCarthy came back to coach. He never really seem to care if they got penalized. That could be small factor as to why the Packers often were beaten even though they had good teams. Looking at his Dallas team is almost a carbon copy of his Packers years: lots of penalties and a defense that is too loose.

The Packers coaches need to focus on the penalty issues. They need to work with specific players (Walker) and specific units OL and DL. If. necessary pull a player out of a game for a few plays until they get their head back in the game. A move like that will send a message to the entire team, specifically "If you're hurting the team you won't play." Sometimes it needs to be done.

By this point in the season coaches and players should have the penalties cleaned up. TC, preseason and 3 regular season games should be more than enough time to accomplish mitigating penalties. Let's hope the improvement begins this week. Against better coached teams these self inflicted mistakes will cost the Packers games. "It is time". Thanks, Since '61

I just checked. The Green Bay defense is the least penalized defense in the league. #1.

So this is mostly about early season penalties on the offense, with a QB who just got off the bus last Tuesday, on the youngest team in the league, which is nonetheless one of the highest scoring offenses in the league.

And How, Fear the Brow!

If I was bringing a lil tyke to Lambeau, I would put fake (well-groomed) eyebrows on the lad or lass.

Coach LaF is better than I gave him credit for (beginning of last year, I was ready to trade for Mike Tomlin)

Any hue, me likey this team and their character. Willis, he has been one smooth operator. He seems genuinely humble and I like cheering for him. With him and Love, the rest of the team and coaches, I sleep a little better at night. That is until Sweet Pea nudges me at around 1:37 AM, and starts calling me Big Sexy in her playful voice.

I digress...

Yours, for better or worse,
