    Lacy had a tough sled in Ford field last year too, but he really started to excel as a feature back getting 20+ carries a game when Rodgers was down.

    Another question that should be asked: Why did Stubby decide to establish the run game first against the Lions who have a banged up secondary? Wouldn't it make more sense to establish the passing game first?
    One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

    Lacy is worthless on turf. He's a plodder. He'll be great in Lambeau come November...but on a fast track, the guy is a liability IMO. Starks should be the feature back on fast tracks.

    Maybe the Packers should purchase some game film of the Broncos and Peyton Manning so Stubby can learn how it's done.

    Trying to avoid a jailbreak with an injured starter and new starter on the O line, on the road versus a lot of noise.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    TJ is firing on all cylinders on Twitter, too bad it wasn't true of his run block in front of the end zone.

    Apparently, JerseyAl has not made the connection to the West Coast Offense that explains this mindset.

    Lang is one of my favorite Packers, but he sounds like a whiner there.

    Davante Adams on @Cover_2 on Rodgers yelling at him: "I saw the wrong [signal]."

    Adams: "The good thing is when we went into the season, me and Aaron got on the same page a lot more and he's built up more trust in me."

    I agree with the article.

    It's rare nowadays to find a team that runs the classic WCO of Walsh and Holmgren. McCarthy's modified version of the WCO has became too predictable.

    Fat Mac oughta watch some films of Arizona's offense. Arians is creative.

    Rodgers said in his PC said they didn't do a very good job of adjusting to the Lions defensive scheme. Whether he was talking about MM's play-calling, his own adjustments at the line of scrimmage, protection schemes, or receivers adjusting routes I'm not sure. I'm wondering what the lions did that was so hard to figure out. Were they really surprised that the Lions came out and doubled Jordy after what he did to the Jets?

    Giants-Lions in Week 1 made it look like NY's offense was terrible, but maybe instead Detroit's defense is just great.

    And that is a perfect example of illegal hands to the face.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    They were planning on seeing single-high safety due to Lacy. They got 2-high and rotation over Nelson. The more alarming part is that until the last drive, there didn't seem to be plan B.

    Like other purveyors of WCO, the coach is depending on winning one on one match ups in the offense due to superior preparation, execution and design. Its not happening. Trust issues, Boykin's dip in execution, Cobb not having a big role (and couple drops), no TEs.

    McCarthy's faith in the system has produced players and production in areas that never looked promising. He has a track record here and he isn't going to alter the offense until midseason if past results is indicative of future performance.

    I wonder if Aaron confides in Olivia that he has "trust issues".

    That's why we call him Stubby.

    Detriot didn't do anything McCarthy, Rodgers and Co. weren't familiar with. Pretty much did what Seattle and SF like to do.

    Cover-2, pressure QB with 4-men rush, stop run without putting a saftey in the box. Arizona, with Drew Fucking Stanton, and SD were able to beat these types of defenses in past weeks.

    Fat Mac is too stupid to adjust, too stubborn to alter his predictable offense. Rodgers is playing like a bum. Lucy is playing like a bum.

    When your OFFENSE gave up more points than it scored, that's a recipe for disaster.

    Taken to an appropriate length, its a strength. Terrible coaches (think about Ray Rhodes in 1999) are always changing things up and altering the focus of the team.

    Refusal to change gives you Marty Schottenheimer, Steve Spurrier or Jim Schwartz.

    However, its clear, whether its Boykin, Cobb, the TEs or run blocking, that the offense that is out there is not doing what he expects it to be capable of. Whether it will or expectations need to be altered is TBD.

    Seattle plays single-high safety with Thomas back and human cyborg Chancellor up on the LOS. Agree on last point. Nothing tells the story of that game like that fact.
