post game thoughts on the Offense.

[]{ilr]3]

I am very happy to have seen that smile/smirk wiped off of McNobbs face at the end of the game.

We are in complete agreement here!

Agreed!

Also, i wonder how this game will be portrayed by the press. IMO this win is of the same caliber that we lost to the eagle over the last 3 years. (except for last year of corse) Nose to nose, with a few freak plays that changed the game.

In the pre-game show I watched, 4 of 4 talking heads picked the Eagles to win. Considering that the Packers won the game without scoring any points on Offense (other than Crosbys FG's), and considering that our Offense will only get better, as with the 1996 Packers, I think this years team will get more respect as the year goes on.

OL is what worries me most. The sad part is, the two that I thought we wouldn't have to worry about (Cliffy and Taush) were the ones IMO that played the worst today.

They're just not fit to play in this scheme.

Tausch and Clifton got beat like rented mules on the outside rush today.

That is more than a bit concerning.

Re: post game thoughts on the Offense.

{ilr]3]But we got a week one win, against a good team and I feel we can look forward to improvement from the o-line and the running game.

I agree.

You can't overlook that the Eagles are one of the 4 best teams in the NFC...and we played them nose-to-nose for 4 quarters.

GREAT WIN AGAINST A GOOD TEAM!!!!

What a performance by the special teams! It goes to show that special teams really is one third of the game. These guys get after it, and will continue to get better. How about the Crosby show!!!

The defense came up big when they needed it. After some adjustments, I think this defense is going to be everything it's been touted as being. Bigby looks very active and is a big upgrade over Manuel. If Collins could have grabbed that one in his hands, it would have been an even bigger performance.

This offense was obviously pretty pathetic today, and that was due mostly to the blocking problems. It was surprising that both Clifton and Tauscher both had problems - not just in the run game, but with rushers beating them around the edge. That's where they are supposed to excel. There's much to build on, and they'll get better.

This win would appear to be a sign of things to come. The defense will keep us in the games, and hopefully more often than not - there'll be just enough offense to get the job done. That'll have to be more than they got today though.

Win ugly baby!

They won, that's good. However, their offense was horrible. Philly has always had our number so it might be temporary, but that is about as unsatisfactory of a win as it gets.

They have a lot of work to do in the run game. One thing I noticed, and I know I keep bringing this up, but they didn't cut block AGAIN and after the game when I was on my way home from my brothers, I heard Scott Wells say that they are going to the ground causes a build up and they do not want that. Funny, ever zone scheme cuts but now the Packers want to run zone but not cut. Either they are football geniuses and they found a way to do somehting nobody else does or they are completely screwing up and taking away a technique that is detrimental to their run scheme. I think ti's the later and I'm very concerned.

So? They won. Plus they were playing against a good defensive team.

Right now is the time to celebrate the victory, it is not the time to fix the offense.. Tomorrow is the time for Mike McCarthy to fix the offense. But it's not our job to fix the offense, particularly since we just won.

Drink more, and be unhappy less.

Good idea...............I'm exhaused after this one!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Great win. I'm very happy. I'd rather an ugly win agaisnt a very good team thay is healthy than a pretty loss.

[The Shadow]

And they can do the same every game for the rest of the season for all I care. As long as that W shows up each week, they can get it done any way they want.

You are absolutely right.
Can you believe the negativity addicts are complaining about the way we won?
Unfrigginievable!!!!!!!!!!!

Good point. We were blown out by playoff teams last year. We were competetive and won with a couple good bounces.

JH, you need to go out to the store and buy some Kool-Aid. After the record amount you consumed in the off-season, I fear that you may have run out.

[RashanGary]

If the run game is that bad next week, I'm worried. I'm not going to freak out and jump off any tall buildings, but that run game was worse than I imagined it would be.

A win is a win is a win!

Yes, it was an "Ugly" win but it was important for a number of reasons:

1. Packers won a home opener.

2. Packers may start to bring back the advantage of playing at home in Lambeau(they were a pathetic 10-15 at home before this game).

3. Packers finally beat the Eagles--a team they have consistently lost to since the horrendous "4th and 26" nightmare.

Rejoice in this win, Packer fans!

Mwa ha ha ha ha ha ha.......things could be worse, just think if we had the bears offense.

Just wondering, is K-Rob due back anytime soon, and does anyone really think he would provide much of an impact if he were?

He can applu for reinstatement around Mid September, I believe.

I think he CAN be a factor for the Pack this season as long as he kept himself in shape. The reason is he can stretch the field moreso than DD/GJ/JJ/RM. He also is a capable return man. Don't rule him out.

And a special message for KRob: One day at a time, man!
