Fault here wasn't our O. It was our D and STs. Our O looked solid (besides the 2 INTs). You're right though. A win is a win. I'll take it.

We barely hung on at the end...

But hey, good teams find ways to win.

A win is a win!

Yes, a win is a win, but it sure was ugly. At least it wasn't penalties this week.

Nothing against Kuhn, he's done an admirable job, but it concerns the hell out of me when the organization clearly views and uses Mike Alstott as the feature back.

just got home to find out we have week number 2 of embarrassment, the only difference being that we won.

2 points? really? surely this team is primed for the superbowl!

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Your general point is excellent (we are not ready to be considered Superbowl contenders with such underwhelming play in two straight weeks) but if you saw the game then you had to tip you had to Shaun Hill who was solid.

Of course it does not help that we were playing cover-2 way too much (which we, evidently, suck at) and were without our best coverage ILB in Chillar.

This was a very unimpressive win, so this will be mostly negatives:

1. The playcalling on third and short can get awfully weird.

Exhibit A: On third and one, they handed off to John Kuhn running parallel to the line of scrimmage. No gain. Kuhn is a straight ahead runner--a fullback. Why did they call this play for him?

Exhibit B: On third and one or two, Rodgers ran a bootleg and heaved the ball 20 yards downfield to a receiver who wasn't open. Incomplete. This one may be more on Rodgers than McCarthy. If that's a short pass to Finley, I have no problem with it, but if he's not open you don't throw it downfield to a receiver who's not open. Probably you have to try and run for the first down.

Exhibit C: Rodgers threw downfield to Jennings on third and short and the ball was intercepted. Again, the receiver wasn't even open and he just heaved it down there. I don't get it.

2. Kuhn is the go-to RB. Brandon Jackson ran the ball well today, in very limited opportunities, but when the game was on the line they handed it to Kuhn time after time. Very nice running by him, and good blocking too, on that last drive.

3. Greg Jennings needs to make a play. Nice TD catch today, but other than that he was quiet, and when Rodgers threw up that bomb it should've either been a catch by Jennings or an incompletion. No way should a receiver as good as Jennings let an unknown DB grab the ball away from him.

4. The special teams suck again. It's official. I apologize for my optimism after the first two games. Tim Masthay is Jeremy Kapinos version 2.0 and Jordy Nelson fumbled two kickoffs.

5. The Packers' pass rush seems to dry up in the second half of most games. Maybe they need to rotate more guys into the mix, to keep them fresh, or maybe they just need to come up with more stops on third down so they don't have to spend most of the day on the field.

6. The Packers are not an elite team. Maybe they will be by the end of the season, but right now they are a second-tier team. The good news is that so far this year there are no clear first-tier teams in the NFC. In the AFC, there's Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and maybe the Colts again.

I was not purposefully avoiding the game as I had avowed after the embarrassing loss on Monday evening, I was at a lecture @ Duke University...just for the record.

After looking at all the other scores though, it does appear that we're in the similar company. Most of the "good" teams seemed to just squeak by today. Does this mean the bad teams are getting better or the good teams are getting sloppy and reckless. I didn't see todays game but from what I've been hearing it sounds more like the latter. Which is just depressing.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Not sure I feel as bad about this game as I do about the one last week. Detroit might really be a decent team. They made TONS of turnovers and back breaking mistakes, and still almost won. (Although granted, we made almost as many mistakes.)
They hung with us. Dunno. But we should dominated the Bares much more. Still, it's disturbing how this team plays down to the competition. I'm concerned about Mike McCarthy as a head coach.

These are two leasons I took away from this week's game.

1) Special teams will be our achillies heel throughout the season.
2) Although Zombo can get after the passer, he becomes quite a liability dropping into coverage.
