Agreed, firing any coach 5 games into the season would be a mistake on the Packers part. I understand Carolina doing it. Dude only won 11 games and was well on his way to having another losing season. Their season is shot and the franchise is in rough shape. Packers still have hope and the franchise is in good hands. Time for a sense of urgency. Not time for panic.
The Packers had a failure to execute on both sides of the ball versus the Giants. The old line of; "Just do your job " comes to my mind. (A quote that somehow gets credited to the Patriots.)
when asked about Jaire's comments, what, specifically, in Rodgers' comment should make us believe it was from an over worked ego, spokesperson for the team, control freak nature and think skinnedness? Specifically please.
I believe we are either not deciphering the opposing offenses well enough during the week or we do not know how to adjust when they go off script during the game.
If our offense was comparable to most of the last decade of Packer teams we would certainly be top 5. Maybe even top 2. Suddenly, it takes more than just an average defense to win games in Green Bay.
They’re only a couple plays away from being that top 5 and people are ready to scrap the whole thing it seems like by week six
Yeah. I guess I’m an optimist but I still think we’re not the cohesive unit we can become. We’re a bit disjointed and kinda learning our roles and we’ve got about 6 players playing well and about 5 kinda learning the system. It’s no surprise that it’s not our backfield that’s getting hammered. While they given up some big plays, they’ve also had quite a few forced punts or turnovers on downs. Amos Stokes and J’aire Are the strength and Rasul and Savage are kinda acting like fish out of water. I’m wondering if moving J’aire to the Slot and Rasul outside would get the best from Rasul.
I would put preston in there as playing very well too. Campbell had a bad game earlier, I think he's been looking pretty good most of the time out there recently. I think Rasul has been playing pretty well until last game and his gaffes cost this team the game IMO, erasing sacks and TO's and giving huge auto first downs after forcing a tough 3rd and short at the goal line and giving 4 plays inside the 2 because of it turned a likely 3 into 7pts for the other guys.
What that tells me is opponents understand our weakness is our Run game.
Well that’s true, I’ve contended all along that our woes have been about 65% Offense and 35% Defense.
Of our 5 opponents only Cousins and Brady had the great QB passing history. And then only the Vikings had the receiving corps to kill us. The other 3 games we faced young, inexperienced QBs with few weapons so it made sense if I were their coach to RUN the football. But isn't it ironic that the two games in which we stopped the run were against the Bucs and Vikings.What that tells me is opponents understand our weakness is our Run game.
Our pass D must scare them. Lol
(Saying that jokingly)
I probably should have said we held Cook to 90 yards which was not great but he has put up bigger numbers before against us. I believed if we could do that we should have had enough offense to win the game. We obviously did not. In the days of Adrian Peterson if we kept him to 90 yards it would constitute containment and a win. But then his teams rarely had the passing attack to go with it.
Hmmm. That’s a lot of could haves and ifs.
Right. And let's hope that game matters in a big way. We want revenge, blood and guts in this one.Hmmm. That’s a lot of could haves and ifs.
How about instead of driving in the rear view mirror on a multi score loss, we just learn from our tail whooping and look forward to getting redemption at Lambeau this coming December
