Turnaround

[{Family Ghost}]

Yeah, Bulaga has been awful. This guy was supposed to be on the cusp of a pro bowl type level and instead he has regressed. 230 pound Bruce Irvin manhandled him on a play or two, and also whipped him with speed a few times. The one handed bull rush from Irvin that sent Bulaga backwards 5 yards was totally embarrassing.

We aren't doing anything in the post season if we don't get a grip on things.

This was IMO one of MMs biggest blunders as a playcaller. The gameplan was just awful. How do you not attack the middle of the field? Where the hell is the run game? MM was predictable, and Rodgers suffered for it.

We probably had more play action passes than actual rush attempts in the first half. MM and Aaron are obsessed with the big play. We keep going for 50 when we only need 10. Get some first downs, run the ball, get in a rhythym, THEN take some shots.

Aaron is also playing awful. He's indecisive in his reads, been all over the place in terms of accuracy, and needs to utilize his legs more to extend the play.

The OL is just not getting it done right now. The playcalling is making pass pro look worse than it is, as well as Aaron not getting the ball out, but we need to start winning 1v1s.

Skill position players are pretty bland this year. Jennings can't break a tackle or make a player miss to save his life. Finley is up to his usual dropsies. Nelson has been invisible.

Defense looks top 20, Offense looks bottom 5. We seriously look like a garbage team on offense right now, and its disgusting.

What I don't get is how Rodgers went from being one of the best at getting the ball out quickly to just hanging onto it FOREVER. It looks like he's trying to go for the big play every time, but it's never there. I don't want to make the haters sound right, but Rodgers has been extremely sloppy whenever he's been playing without a lead.

I know this doesn't really account for all of the issues Rodgers may be having, however, he did bring up in his chat with Jason Wilde today that defenses have been playing very soft against them, selling out to cover the pass. Seems like it's a combo of playing top defenses, teams having adjusted after Rodgers' crazy year last year, as well as the play-calling being subpar and not adjusting. And maybe toss in the replacement refs and inconsistent calls being made to boot.

There is only one thing you can fault Rodgers for in that game last night, and that was holding onto the ball too long. No excuse for that, throw the ball away. He was killing drives trying to extend the play. That clock HAS to go off.

But you can't sit here and tell me he didn't bring us back in the game. I thought MM did a good job coming out in the second half. We DOMINATED time of possession. Benson ran the ball well and Rodgers was getting rid of the ball quickly.

I don't think we have anything to worry about. We played 2 elite defenses and a division rival who Rodgers has historically had trouble against. I mean, did you see that Seattle secondary? Those corners are huge! They are no joke; they might be the best secondary in the league.

Next week we play the Saints, who are just as inept on defense as the replacement refs are officiating games. Then we play the Colts, Texans, Rams, Jags, and Cardinals. Can't see us being any worse than 5-4. What I want to see is better pass protection and clever play calling. Our defense has been awesome. Our offense WILL get back on track. My main concern coming into the season was our defense, and they've played great through 3 games. Let me put it this way: if our defense was still crap and our offense was clicking I'd be more concerned. The fact that our defense is playing this way and our offense still hasn't played to it's potential makes me excited for the rest of the season.

Just had a thought...weren't we planning on implementing a primarily no-huddle offense? Perhaps a great deal of time was spent learning this, then MM just decided to scrap it with how terrible the replacement refs have been with ball placements, stopping the game for long amounts of time, stopping the game for no reason, ect. So basically, we're running our back-up vanilla-ish offense. Anyone think this could be true? I'm really just throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what sticks. I just don't get what's going on offensively.
