    The defense was a big loser. They said they are experimenting and were not game planning like they would for a regular season game, but the have been horrible the past two games. We can have a season where the offense has to put up more points that the defense gives up.

      I'd add Brohm to the losers list.

        Very impressive outing by Rodgers. He made good decisions very quickly and then threw the ball with good velocity and accuracy.

          It's looking like my guy Money Morency might be taking a hike. Sad day.

              My fear about a Herron or Morency -less backfield is that there is no sure fire thing back there to block and be the third down back. We would really be relying on Jackson to get over that hump again after the trouble he had against the Bengals.
              Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                Brandon Jackson and Lumpkin both ran hard and broke tackles. The times Jackson did get the ball he showed strength and power that I didn't know he had. He just seems incredibly durable too. After a hard run he just hops up like he didn't feel a thing. I think he's going to be a hell of a change of pace to Grant.

                And Lumpkin seems like he could be this years hidden gem. It would be great if we ended up with 3 RB's that could carry the load if needed when last year we didn't even know if we had one.

                  Maybe they keep 4 RB's and only one FB. I think they might have to keep Lumpkin on the roster or some team that is thin (like we were last year) will scoop him up. If they keep 4 RB's, they could train Lumpkin and Humphrey as backup FB's and then keep Herron as the 3rd down back. Herron lacks talent, but he is damn reliable and could be a very comforting part of the offense for Rodgers on 3rd down (similar to Faulk in NE).

                    Why would you say that? I think he's locked down the 'third down back' spot. He's also pretty good on special teams.

                      I don't know about that. Beatle Juice easily could be out of the league in a week or two.

                        Who's going to beat him out?
                        Herron? Doubful. Morency edges him on special teams play, and is every bit as reliable on 'third down' plays. He's also more athletic.
                        Lumpkin? I just can't see the Packers sacrificing their 'third down' play just to keep this guy on the roster. He's been good, against scrubs, but not great. Has he done anything on special teams?
                        If anything, they'll just keep an extra back. No way they get rid of Morency.

                          Good to see you're coming around to my point of view, JH. Only I see Lumpy as our 1st string FB.
                          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.

                            Hunter looked good, but I'll believe he's real when he does it against first string O linemen.

                              That was a HORRBLE penalty, but you know what, that guy has NFL talent. HE flys. They sure are overflowing with LB's this year.
