    I was thinking this too. If he can't run around like he used to, he's forced to take what the defense gives more vs try the spectacular throw. The offense moved great without him trying his WTF passes.

      Zero: James Starks

      I'd really like to see us draft a top flight Wide Receiver. Every time I see some really dominant guy like Beckham in other games, I wish we had somebody like that. We have a lot of decent WRs but it would be so great to have a superstar while Rodgers is still close to his prime. Also, I think WR is a position that is more predictable to be star quality as a #1 pick than say Corner or D Line or RB.
      Tell that to the Vikings who have drafted two good WR since Moss.
      Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

        Besides Starks my zeroes are injuries to Cook and Rodgers.

          I've been getting on McCarthy as much as anybody. He did all right yesterday, but it still pissed me off big time when we had that 4th and 1 (or was it 3rd and 1), and instead of Montgomery, it was Michael in there to run the play wrong. Several series including that one, his old mania for "run first" still came out.
          What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

            I was listening to talk radio this morning and MM told a reporter yesterday that after the first series and ARod's calf injury, they removed a large chunk of the possible play calls from the game plan.
            But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

              Good point. Rarely do we fans take those sorts of issues into account.

                Taking away part of the game plan might explain those two FB dives on 2nd and 3rd and short in the first half.
                Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                  [Existing playoff run "homer" mode] I saw more imaginative plays in the Cowboy offense against the Giants than I did watching the Packers all season. [Re-entering "homer" play-off, "Stubby is a God" Packer fan mode.]
                  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.

                    The offensive line was solid in Pass Support.

                    Jordy Nelson is a delight to watch.

                    MM put that end around back in (after the Houston game) and this time it went for big.
