Reasons for Monday's Lopsided Loss

[LEWCWA]

Get used to this Vanilla offense! This is what Hackett was known for and criticized for! Very conservative offense, guess who mentored our beloved coach!

[MJZiggy]

Would Hackett have gone for it on 4th down? Would he have tried the onside kicks?

The Bengals are a great team. The Packers arn't. It's really that simple to me.

Sometimes the simplist answers are the correct ones. Well said.

Agreed. I wont' rehash my thoughts on the game. If M3 is sacrificing preseason conditioning for secretive preparation for the Bears game, I'll start the "Fire M3" petition. You DO NOT sacrifice the preseason for a single f'in game.

Last year we sacrificed the Preseason for not even being ready for Game one " the Lions ".

TC 2005 was a total wash. The focus wasn't relevant to where the team was and need for that to be emphsized. I was shocked at TC last year.

I see alot more effort and focus this season all round, from most Vet's and of course... the new guys.

We played two preseason games and anyone who felt we needed to be 3-0 or 2 -1 is wrong. It has nothing to do with wins. Harvey demonstrated "that fact" in a post not long ago.

Maybe M3 is experimenting with schemes? OK? .... NO.

Yet, why ever go there? There isn't one Vet on that Team you could fool and certainly not Green and Favre (Henderson) so M#3 can't be making excuses nor trying to hide things. Trying useless schemes.

We have to beat the Bears and DAM another monday night Football Game. Kinda... "in your face" I'd say.

I believe Mike McCarthy is just simply finding his way. It's that simple.

Where would he be without Brett Favre here this season to assist his learning curve. Favre here for Aaron rodgers? NO !!

Favre is here for M3 and to WIN with his team mates and win for " the Packer fans". No other NFL player has more passion for the win than Brett Favre.

Maybe Favre has a chance with Mike McCarthy, because he got zero from Ted Thompson. Favre got Dick ALL, for two off season's now from Ted Thompson.

Oh that's right. It's not about Brett Favre but isn't he about winning?

Then if Favre is that? About winning... then Ted Thompson isn't on the same page as Favre and winning means Dick All to Ted Thompson.

Mike McCarthy has to be with Favre and winning because losing HC's often,don't last out their Contract otherwise.

Favre back next season? The answer to that is either Yes or NO, depending on the position of the car on the roller coaster. What OUR team does in 2006.

Packers !

Let's not forget that CIN has had the same staff & system on O & D for a few years...where GB has a new staff, new run blocking, revised WCO, and several new faces in the starting O & D. Yes, this is a fact of life, but when you factor continuity + emotion of Palmer's return + better talent base in CIN after years of high draft picks, it's not surprising.

Just disappointing when the score is so lopsided and the improvement from week 2 is hard to find.

The Lambeau advantage; that's the key to success for the Packers. I predicted a 6-10 record but if somehow Lambeau Field became a fort (again) then it's a 10-6 record. The hill climb is steep; Packers has to continue winning -even on friday night vs Titans. Then the Bears and Saints in week 1 and 2. If Packers any of these games then they'll start questioning the Lambeau advantage. If they want it bad enough I think it happen even with such a young team. But you gotta start a looong win streak at to get the young players really believe in it. Just a thought.

Wow, I amazed.

I usually agree with everything Tyler & everything he posts.

This time, I must totally disagree.

Pre-Season is largely meaningless, & nothing that goes on in these games matters at all. The only thing we needed to get out of these games is to come out of 'em injury free, which we've done.

I could give a shit if we lose all 4 Pre-season games 100 - 0, as long as we beat the Bears in Lambeau for our first regular season game.

For real.

True that. Going 4-0 in the preseason doesn't mean much. The Vikings went 4-0 in preseason for several years and it didn't enable them to win a championship.

Excellent post run pMc! My thoughts exactly.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Were we preopared for "the Bengals" ?

Maybe?

Did OUR first string "O" look sharp? NO.

Word today, is that Aaron Rodgers will swing it, with the first stringers... to start "the Titans" game, tomorrow.

So at least, Favre should stay healthy for da Bears.

The rest, we'll get a real look at.

GO PACK GO ! FAITH FANS in 2006.

Would Hackett have gone for it on 4th down? Would he have tried the onside kicks?

Buddy Hackett? Hell yeah, that guy was a reguler riverboat gambler.

[MJZiggy]

HaHa. But what would Paul Hackett have done?

[the_idle_threat]

WWPHD?

[Iron Mike]

I think it was lopsided because of the score

So your a math major?

So, you're an English major?

[KYPack]

WWPHD?

Dern it, "Threat", ya beat me to it.

I wanted to slag Zig for spamming for the WWPHD web site.

I hope Monday's loss wasn't a result in the Packers giving up. I watched the game Monday and saw 2 things that stuck out.

1st. They showed Brett Favre face after the 13 play 90 yard drive he looked pissed.

2nd. When Cinnci was up 10-0 the Packers had the ball in the second quarter all Favre did was call run the ball. It appeared they wanted to get out of there. There was no emotion whats so ever.

Posters have refered this to "Vanilla"

I think it was more like " invisable"
