Avenues to get better?

[bobblehead]

Just to clear up one point. If coach calls an RPO, I'm pretty sure Rodgers decides at the line which way to go.

Who is the DC if Barry is gone? The DB coach? I could get behind that.

Id like to see them start throwing to the rookies and move on from this ridiculous old man and slow man experiment. Lazard is a blocker and a solid #3, not a number one.

Agree. Lazard was fine as the 2nd guy behind Adams but ideally he’s a 3. I hope Doubs progresses fast because it’s our best hope.

Yup this

Jerry Gray is the "INTERIM DC"; and then you hire a better candidate after this year.

If we don't have the balls to make him an interim DC you just die with Barry this year and figure things out next year

SHARON on the radio show with his TOOL last week

“I’ve talked many times about our best 11,” Rodgers told “The Pat McAfee Show.” Over and over, ‘Big Dog’ has shown up, dominating the line of scrimmage in the run game. I hope we can keep giving him opportunities, here and there in the pass game when we can. He’s very elusive with the ball in his hands. He can do little things in the passing game, especially in the red zone, so I hope we can get him some more looks.”

“We gotta get Allen more involved too, whether that’s calling more plays for him or me giving him a few more looks. Allen is such a talented guy for us, we have to find ways of getting the ball in his hands.”

I have an idea for Rodgers

SUAP

SHUT UP AND PLAY

Clearing things up, you can't pass downfield that far on an RPO or else the O Linemen will be downfield and get a penalty.

I guess the thing that bothers me most is the coaching. We all knew that the team would probably face some turbulence when Rodgers hung it up. It was completely unexpected that we would be failing on both sides of the ball due to coaching and execution before Rodgers retired.

I’m not as optimistic as some that MLF can right the ship this season. Coaches often have tunnel vision as to what the real solutions are to fix their problems. The obvious example is how long our special teams languished. I hope they prove me wrong.

This team does not appear to do much well and seems to be built to run the football and hold steady on D. This last game seemed like Rogers decided to play hero ball which has worked in the past. He does not have the receivers to play hero ball. The formula of a good D and running team will win you a lot of ball games and I hope the coaches can drill it into his thick skull. We do not appear to be a Superbowl contender right now and could not even make the playoffs if he continues down that path. I had really high hopes for this team but they are proving to be not very likeable and the close games are becoming very predictable. Hope we can right this ship soon, we lose to the Jets this week and I think Lafluer loses the locker room and this season gets away.

Sheeeesh, lose a game to a fairly week team (which is now 4-1) and the panicky fools really come out from under their rocks.

We're 3-2. This shit - losing to lesser teams - happens every year. It happened 3 or 4 times each of the last couple of seasons. Yeah, there are things that piss people off, me included, but it's a helluva lot less bad for us Packer fans over the long haul that it has been for just about any other team's fans in football or any other sport.

We could get better - the avenue to improve thing - by getting rid of Barry, probably anyway. We also could and will win a helluva lot of games even if we don't. Substitute McCarthy for Barry in what I just said - people were saying get rid of him for years. We finally did get rid of him, and we improved - from great to even greater.

The only one we can't afford to get rid of is, of course, our GOAT QB. And unfortunately, that's gonna happen in somewhere between 1 and 10 years. Then, the team really nosedives. The whiny piss ants complaining now about Rodgers should keep that in mind.

While I agree with the first part of your post, Tex, it is in the nature of fans to think short-term. We're only fans, so we get to and tend to do that. But you're right - it's a long season, and things do change. That's what makes all this compelling.

I saw this quote on some Packers site (poor attribution, I know): "When things go bad for the Packers, they seem to go really bad. Arguably the biggest deficiency over the course of the Matt LaFleur era has been this team

He makes a call tex. He isn't there to surprise his OL. RED, RED, RED. That would be a call that everyone on the field understands.

13 wins 3 straight years. 3-2 having been forced to play in London in a game we dropped = FAIL To me that attitude = SPOILED
