This league, a win is a win. It's irrational to expect or demand a team to string together four perfect quarters. You keep expecting that, you will be disappointed, every week, win or lose.

Packers suffered many injuries, so have other teams.

A lot of our problems are self inflicted and that means they are correctable. However, simply because they are correctable does not mean they will be.

Count me in as one of the guys who thought we'd have two or three blowout WINS after 5 games. I didn't think I was unreasonable when I predicted us to be 4 - 1 after 5 games.

The Packers own the 3rd best record in the NFL. 4 - 1 and 3 -1 are the only records better. How's that for some green and gold glasses optimism?

If our injuries are not season ending, the injuries could be used as a positive. I say positive because it means a lot of our backups will get valuable experience that could be used in the playoffs, if we make it there.

I feel our biggest problem is a major lack of focus and self discipline. The players are lacking confidence in their abilities in my opinion.



Edit, I think we get Sam Shields back this week, that should help us out as well as getting Brandon Chillar back.

By unofficial count, the Packers dropped six passes, and four were by wide receiver Donald Driver, who finished with four receptions for 58 yards on eight targeted passes.

Two things IMO.

Not threatening a run game whether it works or not allowing the defenses to drop and make smaller openings.

Injuries. Like it or not, depth only goes so far, eventually enough injuries become to much to handle. Like today. the defense was doing good until Matthews went out. with him out that is 4 starters this year, 6 of last years starters out plus 2 playing hurt.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

+1 zero. If i recall, we went on a bit of a run at the end of last season? might want to fact check that ;-)

It does seem like we've lost a bit of that quiet confidence. Maybe a little of that Finley swagger?

What's our problem? A little bit of everything. Everyone on this team has been up and down this year.

We've had penalties kill us like they did agains the Bears and to a lesser extent today but at the same time we've had games with almost no penalties.

Rodgers has had spurts of excellence such as the first half against Detroit and in the Chicago game, but has come up woefully short at other times.

Our running game was non-existent and then today it tore Washington apart.

We've had turnovers come from all over; bad picks from Rodgers, a ball ripped out of Jennings hands, fumbles from a multitude of different players.

We've had bad play calling at times.

And on top of all these things and a million more we are having an absurd number of injuries take away key players, and taking them away for the season no less. I just don't know what to make of it all. I really don't.

I checked the record prediction thread. I had us 3 - 2 after five games.

And 3 - 3 after six games.


WTF ... .500 during the easy part of the schedule then string off 9 - 1 during the tough stretch?

Clearly banking on our propensity to get better as the year goes on (also clearly not having the clairvoyance to predict this many serious/season-ending injuries)

Pretty darn sad, what could of been a 5-0 became a 3-2 due to injuries and some bad play calling.

I really hope Rodgers' concussion came early in the game, so there would be some reason that he completely slurped balls in the second half (I know, dropped passes, but maybe the concussion made him throw the balls with a weird spiral).

Don't forget that, while the drops were bad, they werent entirely on the receivers. Rodgers has thrown an absolute ton of balls this year that have put the receivers either in positions to make tough catches or not catch the ball at all
