Drew Brees kneels on the forst play of series

That's the First Half.

SCORE SAINTS 14 - PACKERS 13

Another 3rd down failure. Punt.

What to do? You can't win games with no 3rd down conversions. We're 3 to zip in turnovers but 3rd down thing will kill the Pack.

MM

I think MM's gameplan is much improved from last week. Our run D is much improved from last season. However, our Pass D has deteriorated from last season. That's about it for positives.

[Tarlam!]

The game plan is only as good as the gamers playing it...right now, even Brett looks bad.

one major thing our team needs to work on, is our defense getting off the field, and our offense staying on the field. 3rd downs have just been brutal this year.

Brett

The game plan is only as good as the gamers playing it...right now, even Brett looks bad.

The Saints are doubling Driver. Jennings is a rookie and Ferguson along with Bubba are non-existent so where is Brett supposed to throw? He's doing what everyone wants which is to take the sack or check-down and he still gets criticized? I don't get it..............

[packrulz]

I don't think Brett looks that bad, look at all the drops! If anything the D couldn't shut NO down.

[Fosco33]

Lions take the first TD vs. the Bear's D as Kitna does a QB sneak... 7-24 Bears in the 3rd...

My half time take on this game

Sometimes I just laugh at this team. On the last punt return by Reggie Bush, one Packer pushed another Packer in the back and then tripped over him causing a pile of only Packers without any of them being blocked by a Saint.

Packers are still doing a great job at stuffing the run regardless of the defensive line being pushed into the endzone on McCallister's TD run.

I am so discouraged by what I see out of Chad Clifton. He is consistently being called for holding, he doesn't maintain his blocks, and he sure ain't helping out his young offensive guard on the left side, it is more like the other way around. I really think if Clifton doesn't take these next 14.5 games and starts to improve intot he pro bowl type caliber player he is, he ain't gonna be brought back because Colledge looks like he could develop into a bad ass left tackle.

Favre is still inaccurate, he really has to fit the ball into the seam created by the cover two and he just doesn't seem capable right now.

Jennings made a great TD catch, and after that, nothing but a dropped pass. Saints have caught on and have decided to swarm Donald Driver. More short passes to the tight ends on 1st and 2nd down because as of now the run isn't going anywhere.

Pass blocking seems to be very good for the Packers.

KGB is getting owned by Jamal Brown, time after time. Montgomery is playing alot, but not getting his name called at all.

[packrulz]

At least they get the ball back.

[Tarlam!]

That's what I bin sayin, ND.

Brett has not been accurate. At all. He don't look good.

Don't forget, I am listening to a radio, so, I get the pictures by description. They aint saying nothing good about him.

What are your mid game suggestions for the Packers to win this game outright?

[woodbuck27]

This game plan isn't working .

We must establish "the RUN" early in the 3rd Quarter.

OUR Time of Possession not good in the First Half.
