SO it's been a while for me....I moved, and didn't have internet until just recently.

I'm jumping in on this thread late, but I have to point this out, and no I didn't read all the threads, so I'm sure this has already been mentioned, but Rodgers is NOT comfortable in the pocket when passing. It's very obvious to me. I played offensive line so I know when a QB is not enjoying life back there, and right now Rodgers isn't. As soon as one lineman gets pushed back, he is already looking down at the blocker instead of up field. 2nd half of the Rams game was the first time I saw him look "ok". Twice in the first half he was looking at his blocking, which made him hold on to the ball longer, which causes bad things for us.

If Rodgers wasn't playing well, he would have some INT's to this point, and (knock on wood) he hasn't. I think Rodgers has played well, but is holding on to the ball way to long. Besides the offensive line reasoning, if you watch some replays, our WR's are NOT getting off the line very well right now. Lots of teams have been pressing our guys hard, and it has slowed things down for them. We really need to start to use our TE's more, as well as RB/FB for short gainers.

Is it me, or does it seem like our short passing game isn't being used at all? Very little slants or quick stops.

Very well said ND. That's my take (short stuff, I'm not a former OL, and have no idea what Rodgers is thinking, other than "get the hell out of here") as well. Not much short stuff at all. Not much running at all. No holes when we do run.

It almost seems that McCarthy is refusing to adjust his game plan to what works (stubbornness? or...). I don't get it.

You are not the only one who's noticed that. I would love to see the TE's used more and more slants but I also think we are missing Brandon Jackson quite a bit. Wynn and Grant are not very good receiving RB's. Having Jackson would given Rodgers a nice little safety valve.

Good point. I think Jackson is a good change of pace back for us as well as Wynn & Grant seem to have the same running techniques. Our running game looks ugly as well right now, which hurts.

Most people give the Packers almost no chance or running the ball much at all.

However, IF Clifton plays and can hold up, then you have an offensive line that is more physical and more experienced on the inside than last year's version.

This is the game these guys were drafted and groomed for. And the Williams guys are a little older, and I hope a little less effective.

The Pack can get some yards on the ground. Not a million, but maybe the kind of Edgar Bennett performance that used to work well enough: 22 carries, 84 yards.
