Somethings I noticed...
Rodgers played through pain and played WELL. Did he make mistakes, yes. No QB does NOT make mistakes especially when they are this young. If we see him making the same mistakes, three, four or five times. THEN I think we need to worry.
I had mentioned in the chat that Ryan Grant seem like he was running with some steam. It really showed. HUGE difference in his running style from last week to this week. Instead of waiting to get hit, he was HITTING the holes and HITTING the enemy.
Penalties ... once again killed us. I feel if we can keep ourselves within 3-5 flags a game we will win.
I maintain the Def PI on Pat Lee was garbage as well as the lack of Off PI called on the ensuing TD on that same drive. I feel if they want to call the Def PI on a ticky tack touch, they should have equally been calling the ticky tack on the Off PI calls.
However, EVERY team gets bad calls against them. It happens every game and every team gets away with a few things.
Bottom line... we lost, but I let this 'film session' with more hope than despair. Our QB will get better each game. Our running game is going to get on track, watch, you will see.
You will laugh me off this website, but I think ...
LT - Colledge
LG - Barbre
C - Wells
RG - Spitz
RT - Tauscher
I say this because after the OL changed I didn't hear Abraham's name again and our running game was more effective and it looked like Rodgers had more time.
We are 2 - 3, it sucks, but hell atleast we can hold our heads up high. We have a talented team, we just need to put the pieces together and get some guys out of the hospital.
