I'm absolutely serious about running... every team is going to bring the heat when they know we cannot/will not run the football. Not even the best O-Lines can stand up to that kind of stuff and especially not our rag tag line. Why do you think Rodgers is ducking, diving and throwing balls to the other team off his back foot all game?

When Grant was the starting RB, he averaged 17 carries a game.

Jackson got 10, and very well in those carries. Kuhn got 3, and did about okay. That's 13 carries.

We are, and have been, a passing team first. It makes sense considering all the talent we have at receiver and that our QB is our best playmaker.

Running 13 times, and getting more than 100 yards, is about the best we could hope from these guys. It's not that we do not call enough run plays, it is that we fail to execute and then McCarthy decides to become a run first team at the worst time and takes it out of the hands of our best player in Rodgers. It's a blend of bad play calling and terrible execution that results in no points when we get redzone and goal line drives.

Bang, I think you missed the sarcasm in Trom's post.

In other words, he is trying to counter your point.

McCarthy and his ongoing stupidity cost us the game, not injuries. The defense, when they were fresh, was excellent. You can't leave a defense on the field that long and expect them to be 100%. McCarthy won the OT toss and still couldn't win the game.

Yet despite those injuries, we were still in a very good position to win this game.

We did not lose because of the injuries - although Clay's hurt really bad. Our injury situation is becoming more like the plaque, like Porky said, but despite that we should have won this game.

High ineptitude from the offense in regards to scoring on drives is a huge problem.

So, this game alone we got out with quite a list.

Jermichael Finley, Donald Lee, Ryan Pickett and Clay Matthews are the ones everyone noticed.

Now we have Rodgers with a concussion (Fire up the Flynn watch).

And lastly, Martin's ankle. That one, apparently, was the worst injury of the day (according to Greg Bedard).

That is one hell of a list for one single game.

Jackson played quite well in relief of Grant. Our WRs got open, just were dropping the ball, so it's not like losing Finley and Lee killed us. And don't even blame this on the defense. Our offense needs to score more than 13 points.

No, Rodgers' concussion threw it, according to you... You of course know the offense had the ball twice during OT, and a third time at the end of regulation. 2/12 on 3rd down... McCarthy lost the game.
