  • The Offense

    What the fuck is going on out there? Is it as simple as the WR's not getting open? Is it the change to Clements? I personally think it's running out the same 3 WR 1 TE set over and over again. The offense used to be cutting edge with all these different formations, now it just feels stale.

    we don't have nfl caliber TE's

    the o-line is shit

    a-rod is off

    eddy is fat

    and jordy must be the most underpaid WR of all time, cause he must be the one that makes everyone else on the field look better

      Plus, our speed running back is James Starks.
      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.

        I agree 100% with all of these. Add also that the Packers have terrible uncreative coaches that couldn't make an in game adjustment to save their lives.

          How many times are we going to run the i-formation. Where is the hurry up offense?

            Its all no huddle, but only occasionally hurry up. At no point tonight or 2 weeks ago did they have a great matchup for the D that would make the hurry up sensible.

            I fear the no huddle, with its stationary WRs, is part of the problem in getting guys open.

            Do you mean the offset I with the TE or when Lacy/Starks is deeper than Rodgers?
            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

              Great observation! Plus, when you're up against a great defense, the no huddle doesn't do our defense any favors.

                I should say the perhaps they ran a bit of hurry up on the first SD drive. But after that is was slow going.

                  That's what I don't understand. The whole point of the no huddle is to keep the D stuck in a personnel package you think you have an advantage against. Obviously that has not been the case for the majority of the year.

                    Without Nelson you don't have to play 2 Deep and can squeeze the run game. Or if your run D is strong, you can go 2 deep and bother all the receivers short. Nelson drew coverage sway from others and helped the run game go.

                    Not happening this year.

                      Well, A-Rod did mention that in his post-game presser. "We're not getting open."

                        LOL for truth.

                        At least they have consistent team character: with Adams, DickRod and Jones on field at same time, they may have slowest receivers in the land.

                          Cobb isn't fast either, and he wasn't all that elusive tonight to boot.

                          For crissakes Dickrod can't even stay on his feet.

                          The Packers' lack of elite talent was totally exposed tonight. Painful to watch.

                            Ya, it's not like DickRod, Jones, Cobb or Adams are BAD players, but they are role players. Actually I think Cobb is better than a role player. But they need one or two more real threats as receivers, like the other good teams have. Some speed. They could be at RB, TE or WR.

                              You regularly hear Capers say that his defense is predicated on stopping the run. I wish our offense was predicated on being able to run the ball consistently. I thought coming out of the bye we'd have more spark. Rough one tonight, but I felt that way last year when they lost to New Orleans and looked bad doing it. It happens. It didn't scuttle their whole season. They need to get back on track fast. The offense has lost it's identity a bit.
