One HUGE postive today

[Bossman641]

Some of those holes were absolutely huge. There is still a little bit of inconsistency and a few missed cut blocks, but the improvement is like night and day. There was one play where the Pack had like 3rd and 1 or 2 and Herron busted one off for about 10 yards. When they showed the replay the entire defensive line was on the ground. It was a thing of beauty.

I think Jags said before that it took the ATL linemen 5 or 6 games before they really picked up the scheme. It appears like we are reaching that point. Let's hope so.

How about the O-Line opening up some holes? Noah Herron over 100 yds.

True, but Noah Herron is destined to be one of the truly great runningbacks in NFL history, so I'm not sure how much credit should go to the O-line!

haha yeah the last thing i want is for defenses to not give a shit about our running attack, allowing any noah herron or vm to come in and rush for one hundred yards... this essentially tricking our head office and we enter next season with the same backfield of average college running backs.

o-line is definitely the most improved part of our team from game one of the preseason. im likin that!

Vince,

you're in the top 10 posters here imo. Keep it up!

So, WHO are the other 9?..... Inquiring minds want to know...

Tony, I agree, the OL played well today. However, scouts inc has the Rams ranked like 28th against the run....

Can I reserve judgement until we play someone ranked in the top 10 run defense and we run well then?

I'm still concerned about the line.

One big positive?

WTF, the Packers lost another game AT Lambeau against a team they should've beaten...

Forget Carrol not being there.. forget how many dropped passes ('specially on the defense, Harris a sure interception and the superstar Woodson)

I dare say there is not a SINGLE positive.. we all ready to accept some plays as "acceptable" when this team is in the process of becoming a replica of the pre Wolfe / Holmgren teams

How many pass's were dropped today?

[ahaha]

Jesus, buddy! Not one positive thing? Coming off a 4-12 season, being the youngest team in football, and starting 4 rookies; and we almost won the game. How can there be nothing positive? Do you think you're the coach giving some motivational speech? We are fans here looking for positive signs that the packers might be improving. If we had gotten stomped 85-0 I might agree with you, but c'mon, they did a few things right.

Re: One HUGE postive today

I never heard this even one time during the game:

"Pass interference. Number 28 on the defense."

Too bad we still heard pass interference being called on other members of the secondary....not to mention the other numerous mistakes by that unit.

Sorry, but the addition by subtraction theory does not apply to this secondary. We are no better off without Carroll, and I still resent his scapegoating.

Under the irrational precedent set by TT, I fully expect that today's scapegoat will be released tomorrow. Maybe Colledge?

There were, however, many positives to be found today - none of which I attribute to the coaching, though.

YEAH. What he said. Here's one right thing. NO ONE ordered a pizza from the playchart. NO ONE.... Sorry, I couldn't resist....

I rather enjoyed the game. Except for the last play.

oh i completely hear that brother, but even the work we did on the lions front four (pass blocking) and then last week they had some beasts that we were able to hold off as well. granted, the running game has been virtually non-existant, i just think something like the ZBS can eventually make up for average talent as long as the guys have enough experiene in it to allow the system to do the work (not necessarily 6'7" 340 beasts). then we get a back with a few more measurables and one-and-cut downhill style and we'll be singing a completely different tune.

hopefully

Nah... He's a TT drafted guy. Only the Sherman guys get "scapegoated".

Tell that to Cory Rodgers

for reasons (i fought) that were out of my control, i wasnt able to watch the fourth quarter but it seemed to be al harris all day long on the defensive flags. i have a hard time believing he's lost this much of a step as some are saying in less than a year... he's playing uninspired and i just think his attitude and perception on the season has waned enough to affect his play.

woodson had an embarassing moment or two but he had his second decent game of the year and the kids in the back seemed to not be getting announced much today (definitely good).

i love my blood pressure staying down a bit with 28 off the field....... dendy and bush did no worse and seemed to gain some confidence.

Sure there were some decent things done, and I don't want to be considered too negative, but the Rams aren't exactly the cream of the NFL crop! I understand fans are looking for positive signs, but this game should've been won by the Packers, maybe not 85 nothing, but should've been a victory for the good guys..

I understand this is a very young team, but the lack of play makers is too much to overcome the missed opportunities presented to our supposed vets(Harris / Woodson INTs)

I've been around long enough to live the 70's teams, and I surely don't want to go through that again, and in this day and age, with a decent front office and scout dept, the Packers aren't too far off..
