That it is the start of the season and the OL is shitty like it always is.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
No. Jets decided to take Lacy away by playing base all game. Well, they shut down Lacy but got torched by Jordy. Pick your poison.
Lacy will be fine once the packers stop playing the NFL's top rushing defenses. And getting Bulaga back wouldn't hurt either.

I've seen two halves of the first two games, the second half against Sea and the first half against NY. Those were by far the worst halves (maybe I should take this as a sign and not turn them on at all against Det). In both cases what I saw was an offense whose components didn't seem to be working well together. Sherrod was a turnstile which caused everything to come to a screeching halt at times against Seattle. Rodgers was holding onto the ball too long and wasn't in sync with his receivers. Boykin was dropping balls he should catch. Lacy was bouncing runs outside and going nowhere. Overall they just looked like shit. My hope is that this is just another version of the early season jitters that McCarthy's offenses always seem to go through.
May I point out that despite all those struggles, they managed to put up 31 points against a pretty good Jets defense?

Tale of two halves. My point is that the offense isn't really in sync yet. Maybe they finally got on track in second half of Jets game. Or maybe part of not being in sync is not being able to put two good halves together. The Lions game will tell us a lot more about where they stand.
Try it out and see. Take one for the team!
That is seeming more and more likely. Kids want to go apple picking, and Sunday afternoon is the only free time, so it's looking like NFL rewind for me.
Ah apple picking. $2/hr for Madtown, -$25/hr for you and your family.

Weren't we sending someone to their garage last year in search of a good luck charm? Who was that?
He got mad at the game on TV, went to his garage to work and listened to the radio. Packers came back. Couple games later they got off to a brutal start and his wife tells him he should be in the garage.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I did not turn the Packers on at all this afternoon, didn't even peek at the score until 4:00. I guess I wasn't the root of their problems after all.
