Blow it up

[Brandon494]

We lost 2 games all season, no need to blow anything up but we do need to make a few moves.

On offense we need to let Grant go and find a speed back that can catch out of the backfield

On defense we need to add a pass rushing OLB opposite of Clay Matthews, a play making safety if Collins doesn't come back, and D-line help.

I actually thought Burnett had an ok game today.

Me too.

This was a prime example of shitty execution by a team that executed to a tee all year long. Something was clearly off today, which might have been a consequence of the layoff or the emotional drain associated with Philbin's son. I kind of expected them to come out all fired up, and then was puzzled to hear Troy Buck say they found Rodgers and Co to be subdued when the met during the week. The Giants played a great game, but the parade of drops just killed the continuity on offense. It was as debilitating as the sack parade at the start of the '09 season.

I'm thinking they were emotionally drained - but they'll never admit it. There can be no other plausible explanation for an offense this explosive to look this listless and unfocused. You drop balls and fumble when you aren't focused.

TT hasn't used anything higher than a 7th round pick at OLB since drafting Matthews 1st round. That needs to change. The talent level just isn't there opposite Matthews.

Did he need to draft higher considering the personnel we had at the time? I still think if Collins were healthy we'd have had a better performance.

[Packers4Glory]

draft defense and then draft some more defense.

This.

Eli had all day just like almost every other QB we faced this year. Until this situation is fixed - plus it was evident the DBs were having communication issues yet again! - another championship ain't in the cards. You can't let QBs just sit there like that and expect your DBs to cover people.

We may have the speed back that can catch already. Green - he just got hurt and wasn't able to get on the field. The rest of your assessment is spot on.

We need to pressure the QB, plain and simple. If getting DL or another OLB does that - i don't care which, make it so.

Thank god you don't make any decisions to this team.

And what would you change? Oter than Raji and Pickett, talent is below average on DL. oLb other than Matthews is a joke. Finley is so overrated it's a joke. I'd offer him veteran minimum with possible bonuses if he can catch a ball. Clifton needs to go, his body is just done. Kuhn...seriously? Wisconsin voted him into pro bowl, he doesn't do anything. If you argue that, seriously watch a game. DB talent after Woodson, Williams, Shields, Burnett, Collins is yuck. And seriously, wanna know why we can't win a home playoff game? Lack of talent at HB and lack of willing to run the ball. We need a top end talent at HB. So seriously, what did I mistakenly say?

[Pugger]

Speaking of Kuhn, anybody here an update on him?

[Packers4Glory]

you don't need top end talent at HB. we proved that last yr.

what we need is help on D. DL, OLB, and S.

[King Friday]

Someone really needs to tell McCarthy that our offense is NOT ideal for January in Green Bay.

I wasn't really criticizing past picks. We can't assume that Collins will be back, and we may not find anyone as good as him in the future. Improving the pass rush will be a must.

Here's my initial reaction,t hen I'll think and talk more later.

1. BYE BYE FINLEY

2. Get a real HB and actually run the ball

3. Get some quality DL players in, cut Wynn Wilson and Neal

4. Get a real OLB that could rush the passer or do anything except use oxygen I could use.

5. Depth at DB, cause Lee, Bush, Peprah and any other dipshit we put back there deep throat everyone.

6. Cut Clifton

7. Cut Kuhn

Agree with all but #7. Kuhn was OK back this year. Clifton was a liability today. Finley does NOT deserve his payday. His piss poor performance and the amount of drops do not equate to upper echelon talent.

The pass rush was PA-THE-TIC. I don't get the constant zone schemes when the Giants were finding the soft spots most of the game.

The D had no pass rush and played too soft. The loss of Collins hurt, but it was no excuse for the sloppy play.

PISS POOR Fundamentals. Lousy tackling, the amount of drops and lack of ball control was far from championship caliber.

Say what you want about Driver, but he was one of the few guys who caught the tough passes today. Jennings, Finley, Starks, Crabtree all had drops that killed drives. Rodgers wasn't as sharp with the 2 overthrows, but his runs were the only thing that kept this game from being an even worse defeat.

Nonsense. Eli had no problems passing and neither did Flynn 2 weeks ago.
