On the bright side, the bye week is here.

I liked watching Jones, BH needs more slants in his life and an offensive line.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
I'm wondering though if the defense is scheming to take away the slants because they're not worried about the Packers going deep.Originally Posted by Tony Oday
If that's the case maybe run play action on first down!

That’s was a pretty shitty attempt at an offense mike put on the field today
Yup. I thought they were on to something with the running in the 1st quarter, but then they reverted to their Arod offense except without Arod. Doesn't really matter though cause the defense sucks big ones.
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.

More like the Shula/Marino Dolphins
More like the Packers in '86 with Randy Wright at QB.

Holy cannoli. 87 yards passing? Maybe I won't watch it.
After the first half, there isn't much to recommend it. If it was a play, it wouldn't open again next weekend.
In the second half there was one D stand and some Aaron Jones.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Shame of these last two games is they are games Green Bay undoubtedly wins with Rodgers and weren't even competitive in either game without him, though they did actually manage a lead against the Saints at halftime.
At halftime? They lead in the 4th quarter until 10:21 left in the game.
The game was there to be won, if the defense could have made a stop sometime in the second half.
Fixed it for you.

It didn't need to be fixed. The offense did move the ball, albeit inconsistently, hut had few 2nd half opportunities because the defense couldn't get off the field. You can't expect the offense to routinely put up 30 points, and score on almost every possession.The simple fact, which everyone wants to overlook, is that they had a lead with 10 minutes left in the game even though the defense hadn't stopped a drive and didn't, the entire second half.
A stop here or there by the defense would have given the offense another opportunity or two, maybe another Fg or TD, and a different game at the end.
Starting position wasn't good. New Orleans average the 30 yard line. Packers averaged the 18 (this was hurt by the penalty on the big Davis return).
But the second half offense looked like this:
GB 25 yard line, 5 plays, 18 yards. Punt
GB 19 yard line, 10 plays, 38 yards (plus 15 on penalty). FG
GB 10 yard line. 3 plays, 6 yards. Punt
GB 25 yard line.3 plays, 4 yards. Int.
I don't think that can be defined as moving the ball. McCarthy was mad as he gets publicly over the second half and this was the main reason. Whatever they cooked up at half time backfired. In the first half (with one huge Jones run) they had 195 net yards. In the second half, they had 65.
C'mon. Defense wasn't good. But the second half offense was putrid.

I am normally optimistic, especially about younger players stepping up.
But I don't see that second half offense doing anything with extra possessions. Maybe they rectify it if given time, but it sure didn't look like it was going to happen.
