HOFer
It didn't dawn on me before, but this is the third straight year the Packers have started 1-2. Wish they would get off to faster starts. They did follow up those starts with a 4-0 stretch last year and 6-1 stretch in 2012. Hopefully, we'll see something similar.

I think I was more discouraged in past seasons. The defense is improving. Also, I feel good about the offensive line, they will come together just fine. Rodgers will get hot, make those chump wide outs look like players.Originally Posted by HarveyWallbangers
It's frustrating that they usually find themselves with their back to the wall this time of year, but they usually do respond pretty well. To me this feels different than past years because of the way the Packers offense has struggled though.

Yea, it does seem like we often have this angst in the first 4-6 games over M3's teams. For a couple of years there, they had difficulty with Lovie's Bears early in the season (James Jones fumble) and usually played better against them later. To M3's credit, his teams usually get better as the season goes on. If it's because, as max often mentions, he's actually very good at in-season adjustment or because, as 31 has suggested, M3 sets up plays to troll later season film reads, they do usually look more competent later in the year.
I'm not too worried yet. Ford Field has been tough for the Packers and the Lions usually seem to be better earlier in the year but then slowly fizzle in the back half.
