That one might take a minute to heal.

I think 12 and company can make an offense hum until lizard is back

Ya think Flower left Adams inactive to make a point? I doubt he would risk a game over it, but if one wanted to prove to their QB that you can move the ball in this offense with a variety of weapons I would say the last 2 weeks made the point. Or maybe he did it just to show Brandon that he knew what he was doing all along.

I can't remember where I heard it but I think it was on the local news after the game that the Packers offense is on a historic pace not matched by any team ever. Pretty cool, although still very early obviously. It is definitely looking like many of us, myself included, under-estimated what we had and the ability to scheme peeps open.

Matt LaFleur seems like a really good coach to my untrained eye.

Definitely not. 12 is a good guy. Hard headed but you don’t have to make points like that. Conversations work. The 4 minute offense is beautiful. It used to be a dick measuring contest where fat mike had to prove that he could run the ball to finish a game. And now it’s an, “exploit whatever risks the defense is taking” 4 minute offense. Similar to patriots over all of these years, the best team with a lead I’ve ever seen (patriots that is).

But we’re looking like that kind of offense now! So that’s good!

This nails my feelings on the O this year and even some of last year. Fat Mike always wanted to impose his will on the other team. Show them that they can't stop what we want to do. That's just stupid. If they aren't good at stopping something, do that thing. Flower having Rodgers is sometimes making this team play 3D chess against a D playing checkers.

Having 2 backs who can catch like Williams and Jones is basically a running play with Rodgers at QB.

Also, was Rodgers still hurt last season? His accuracy was suspect in quite a few games last year. This year, he is ridiculously accurate. Even the throws he "misses" are still catchable.

It's fun watching an offense that regards backs as weapons in the passing game instead of just safety valves. This offense is starting to look a lot like the 49ers last year. If healthy, could be better though because of Rodgers over Jimmy G.

I think Rodgers was healthy last year. I just think his footwork was terrible. I suspect going back and looking at 2010 film made him realize that.

Early in the season some of the meeting with the broadcast groups, they talked about how Rodgers worked on getting his lower body stronger after all of the leg injuries over the years. Rodgers talked a little bit about it in the press conferences too. It was in relation to what he changed to make his game more like when he was at his peak.

I suspect he has lingering strength loss from all of the injuries over the years. He did squats and more weighted work to get back close to 100. I also suspect he focused a little on fundamentals but he’s a little secretive about some of that because it’s his tricks for being the best and doesn’t want to help anyone. He just suptly says he changes some things but won’t get into it.

I think it was out of not so subtle disrespect for the Falcons.

Agree 100%.
His footwork and fundamentals look much better to my untrained eye. He still makes ridiculous throws sometimes, but I've seen a better effort to get his feet set, shoulders square, etc.
I've also noticed he's better this year on getting the ball out quickly and on rhythm. There's much less running around the sandlot than 3 seasons ago. Part of that is scheme, part of that is the QB.

Also -- he's throwing into the middle of the field more.

Finally, Lazard + Tonyan >>> Allison + Graham. They were so bad that one could argue MVS + Lewis > Allison + Graham.

[gbgary]

it's about the system. the system doesn't require elite wr's or qb's...although having those is a big plus. again...it's about the system...and the system is working great! everyone involved, everywhere on the field. the versatility these guys have (rb's, te's, wr's) is a key factor.

[Guiness]

So have we decided if we're concerned about WRs or not? Asking because Mohamed Sanu is an FA again after being released by SF when Deebo came back.

Have to think he's done, I wonder what happened there. He is 31, just slowed down maybe?

[Joemailman]

I think Sanu's probably done. With Adams coming back, I think Packers are okay. At whatever point they get Lazard and ESB back I think they'll be better than average.
