Personally I think offensively we should be much better. Grant, Finley, Tauchser are hits but survivable. I think McCarthy play calling has Rodgers rushing and pressing which is causing errant throws. Run the ball to slow the pass rush, get out of the shotgun to slow the pass rush. Run more short routes, to slow the pass rush. Personally I don't see any of this from Mike McCarthy.

Defensively, We have just lost to much and the injuries are to wide spread until we get some back.

Not sure how losing Grant is survivable. The guy has been steady as an RB all along and taking pressure of of Rodgers. Now look, Rodgers is always on his back and Sam Gado runs harder then Jackson.

Our pass rush without Matthews is terrible.

Grant does not run better than Jackson has the past two weeks. Jackson was 4.4 on the run and almost 10 per on receptions. Get him the ball and Rodgers will do better because the defense has to soften pass coverage to account for jackson.

Man, I have a lot of negative things to say about this years team but I am not giving up on our chances. Green and gold glasses prevent me from thinking injuries are going to end our season. I have alot to be pissed off about (such as the offensive play calling) but this is because I think this team still can make the playoffs. It is too early to think otherwise IMHO.

You really are going to compare 2 weeks to 2 years??

Jackson runs into the hole like he is praying not to get hit. Grant has been a lot better and steady then some think. I don't think we are 3-3 with Grant in the lineup. Just my opinion.

Many of us were Grant naysayers (myself included) up until about week 3, but I don't think any of us are still underestimating Grant's impact anymore, packer98.

I think quite a few liked Grant. I thought he was good for us, but felt he left many yards on the field by running into his own guys too often. That was my biggest gripe with him. That and we didn't do any screen's to him, but once Brandon came in, screen! Sure, Grant's not good at it, but make him good at it. Teach him, practice it, do it to get the defense off guard.

I can agree that we would probably have a better record, because McCarthy would call more runs with Grant. Grant is great at the Zone stretches. He gets was is there and can breakt eh the big runs. Grant does have problems. He runs with to much lean making cutting difficult and causes him to go down easy on leg tackles.

Jackson runs hard, he protects the ball and once in space he can run. And his diversity if used correctly would make the offense harder to defend.

They are differnt backs, which is why you can see the differnt runs being called for Jackson finally. but if McCarthy gave up on Grant like he does with Jackson, Grant wouldn't have squat for yards either. As a matter of fact, he has at time and all of us have yelled when it happened.

    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
    Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
    Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
