Has Cobb become our #1 weapon? Jennings and Driver have felt quite average this season so far.

Still really uncomfortable with the O-line. Praying Sherrod comes back to 100% going into a playoff push.

Really liking the Benson pickup. I love having a pounding back with pretty decent hands as well.

We do have one of the best punters in the league.

CMIII still needs help on the pass rush. Fuck it is painful to see the QB have forever to throw a 20+ yard pass on our DBs on 3rd down all the time.

Good point about the punter. How quickly we forget, same with kicker.

It is really hard to get a clear view since the scab refs messed up so often. The defenses had the advantage.

I like what I have seen from Ceddy,Cobb and Shields.
AR, the OL have struggled.
There have been costly drops from both the receiving corps and the DBs.
As was mentioned the first Q of the schedule was a pretty tough one.

I can't decide how I feel about the defense yet. They are slightly improved over last year, I think. Much of the issues still remain from last year, however. They give up way too many yards in long yardage situations, they aren't stopping teams on 3rd down enough. Someone besides Clay Matthews needs to step up in the pass rush. I do think our tackling has improved, however. I think we need to play more man, and less zone.

I'm really pleased with Sam Shields play this season.

He always wants to showcase his speed. BUT, he's not afraid of contact. He's proving that now.

Sky's still the limit for him, but he's beginning to live up to that potential.

He's still relatively new to the position.

I'm losing trust in Dom Capers. That's probably the most important takeaway from the first quarter.

I was never concerned about the offensive struggles. They always figure it out and Cobb's increasing role has me excited. The flexibility he provides is unprecedented in McCarthy's tenure as head coach. This could be a fun year for the Packer offense. It may not put up the monster numbers it did a year ago, but it's going to rely less on big plays. That's a good thing, in my assessment. You can thank Cobb, Cedric Benson, and Mike McCarthy's play calling for that.

-Benson looks like a very solid pickup
-Pass rush is slightly better
-we still have too many players pulling up when blitzing
-Dom needs to stop these soft zones and playing our CBs 10 yards off the line
-Graham Harrell is awful
-McMillian has sick dreads, and is showing some rookie promise
-where did our short passing game go?
-Rodgers needs to get rid of the ball! remember that clock we were using in traing camp?
-Cobb's new role is awsome! and is playing great.
-way to many wide open recievers, against SF and NO specificly
-Hawk has been taking crazy pills

Zero2Cool (22-May) : SISSIES!!!!

Mucky Tundra (22-May) : Sounds like both Kraft and Tom were injuried before OTAs began

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Not serious but waiting for strength and conditioning coach referwnces.

buckeyepackfan (22-May) : Tom and Kraft both injured(pectoral muscle),

Zero2Cool (20-May) : I feel similar about person and product/service.

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
