There was a lot of yelling at the TV going on over here. Mostly on Viking's 3rd and 8.

A verifiable shit show. I had to leave right after Nijman came into the game because my wife's car broke down. Sounds like I was the lucky one.

There are so many duds. Jones dropped a pass and fumbled. Musgrave dropped a pass. I watched Myers whiff on a DT that was lined up LITERALLY in his face. Walker whiffed 2x after getting a TE chip to slow a guy down. Defense bent and bent and bent and then broke. I would say it wasn't their fault as we went 3 and out like first 5 possessions, but when you bleed them right into FG range its your fault. Love looked shell shocked. MiLF must have no confidence in him because series after series I see shotgun draw, 2 yards to Musgrave, send 3 out in routes and still have Love under pressure.

Its actually so bad I can't put my finger on anything. OL ineptness, WR with no separation, penalties, and zone coverages that leave chunks of green that I could chip into from 100 yards and only risk hitting a WR. This weeks thread will be duds and bigger duds. Coaching, players, player aquisition? None of it looks adequate at this point. Oh well, I knew it would be a rough year, but I was hoping to have some things to feel positive about.

Is the defense actually good? Not losing by 40 has to say something when the O can’t even get the chains to jingle a little.

Before today I thought the Packers looked like a young team losing close games. Today they just looked like a bad team.

[Anti-Polar Bear]

If Love had accuracy and football IQ of Tua or Purdy, he’d be all-pro.

Absolutely not. Every drive by the opposing team is 10 plays or longer. The opposing team NEVER punts. We consider it great defense if we hold them to a FG.
It's bottom 10 defense with young talent that isn't progressing... except Gary. Look at Alexander and Clark. Are they better than they were a year ago?
7 games in, and I think the coaching is bad on both sides of the ball.

What team are we undeniably better than? I haven't seen Carolina play, but we'll have a chance to see in a few weeks. We truly have a chance to get the 1st or 2nd pick in the draft.

The only thing I'd bet on right now is that our first round pick won't progress.

Take it to FYI!!!!

Sounds like cousins tore his Achilles.

Yea he's done.

there needs to be serious questions about the coaching staff

we have a head coach who was brought in to be a yes man to the vet QB who in turn, ran his own offense

he has shown no ability to prepare this team, coach this team, or make enough adjustments on the fly

same stupid mistakes over and over again, same stupid uninspired play calls over and over again. no players getting better

i just don't think he's the guy for a young team. he sure as hell isn't the offensive guru people were claiming he was with a HOF QB

Yea he's done.

so much for the whole "artificial grass is the devil" that we heard after rodgers injury

lambeau is about as good as you can get with natural grass (even though it has a weave)

[King Friday]

The only good thing about this is that there will be no hiding behind some late season rebound for the coaching staff. This thing is going to completely implode as the players lose all faith in the coaches. How many times are the players going to trot onto the field to run stupid plays and schemes before they start openly criticizing the logic of it?

[ThunderDan]

I think we, as an organization, need to look at Murphy and what he has done creating silos. It doesn’t work as well in my opinion. Be a man and pick your GM and let him run the show. I think MM was afraid of losing Ball and didn’t think Gute was ready to run the whole show, so he created the 3 headed monster we have now.

Gute needs to take a deep look at the coaching staff. The Packers really haven’t developed a lot of talent. We haven’t improved the whole year. We haven’t had a game other than verses Chi where we have come out with any intensity. That lies on MiLF. I am no not sure he is the solution for what we need going forward.
