If not one head rolls after that fiasco, from whistle to whistle, then Lafleur is a bitch. And I'm not talking about Offense, Defense, or Bojo. Thank God for Bojo.

[Bretsky]

If there is another coach in GB who has headed ST my guess is they will be working with the ST coach and players this week; I don't think they'll make any coaching moves til after the season. Worst I've ever seen in a game; complete ineptitude

[Joemailman]

I don't know if things get better by firing Drayton now. Does putting his assistant in charge make things better? I don't know how much practice time is given to special teams. Maybe it needs to be more.

Looked like Bojo out-kicked his coverage a couple of times. Also had a poop punt.

That being said, great acquisition.

Regarding terminating folks, I’ll yield to esoxx.

The Packers would have lost this game to at least half the league. They must play better.

They need to get healthy on the OL. My goodness. They are so deep there but nearly out of depth. Same with WR.

Could it make things worse?

Yes, they probably should fire someone after a 15 point win against their oldest rivals.

We shouldn't be subjected to this.

Well, Drayton was the assistant before he became the head ST guy.

Let's face the facts, the special teams have been the Achiles heel for several seasons. I agree that we cannot change horses in the present river but come on...get #8 out of there.

Rodgers says toe got worse tonight.

[QBME]

Rodgers says toe got worse tonight.

Of course he did. Thats what puts the prima in Prima Donna.

No way they fire Drayton or anybody else during the season. In case anybody forgot, we actually did win by 2 TDs - as somebody mentioned in another thread.

Somebody, RG I think, really called it - the Packers came out a little sluggish after the bye week, the D especially. That plus the Bears were playing way over their heads in the first half. A win is a win is a win, though. If we continue to take care of business and get some help from the Rams tomorrow night, we get the bye.

A win is a win is a win applies in September. But in December you need to be gearing up for the playoffs. A performance like they had on special teams last night, as well as the defense in the 1st half, will get you beat in the playoffs.

I did notice that on kicks Bojo is now spinning the football to get the laces pointed to the front. That seems to be making Mason Crosby happy.

I am not sure why they keep trotting Amari Rodgers out there. He brings nothing except for poor decision-making and hands of stone. There were two punts he fair-caught in which he had a lot of green field in front of him, and on his one "good" return (seven yards, was it?) he ran out of bounds about four yards before he'd have had any contact with an opponent. Oh, and that fumble. And that's all without his usual fair-catching the ball on his own five or six yard line instead of letting it go and trying to block someone so it can't be downed. The dude is also chubby and doesn't seem to have any shake-n-bake. To me, he's a colossal waste back there, and I don't know why you don't try someone else. I think they did that with Cobb for a bit (and yes he had a fumble), but I'd like to see them find someone who can at least safely catch the ball and make reasonable decisions.

It's strange that offense and defense, such intricate units, can perform like well-oiled machines, while special teams, which basically requires you to stay in your lane and do your job, looks like a circus clown show. I know it wouldn't be good to fire Drayton now, but god, will MLF step in and kick a little ass to try to get that straight? It's not all the injuries - even though four preferred starters on the offensive line are out - that will doom this team's run to the SB, it's the special teams that will sink this ship.
