I think the most notable thing for me last night was the line play of Green Bay vs the Browns.

Granted it is only the first game and I am using the Brown's of last season as a comparison, in which the Brown's weren't overly dominate at the line of scrimmage as a whole. I will concede the the Browns left side of their offensive line is very formidable.

My observation as a whole is that we got it handed to us on both side of the ball at the point of attack.

The Offensive line struggled with pickups in pass protection in all three groups of play, and rarely opened anything in terms of running lanes.

The defensive line applied little pressure all night and other than the first stringers, didn't hold up at the point of attack very well.

Just the first "preseason" game, and that we have plenty of time to correct issues, just in a comparative nature I believe our line play to be 'behind' at this point.

Just a first observation off the game last night.. I will be watching it again and may alter my opinion or see it differently, but that is what I most noticed last night.

Thoughts.. other areas of note, both good or bad?

I agree with your general impression, though I can't get into specifics without watching the game again. I was surprised by the lack of pass rush generated by the #1 defense.

Who were the starters for the o-line?

I think it was Clifton, Sherrod, Wells, Sitton, and Bulaga for the first series, then Lang took over for Sherrod for the second series.

Sherrod wasn't really challenged during that first series at LG. I'm kind of scared to re-watch the game because I thought I saw him getting blown up at LT...

I thought the holes created for the running game during that second series were fine, and Starks took full advantage of them.

Just read where after Clifton sat down Lang and Sherrod switched back and forth from LG and LT every series. So both got plenty of reps at each position, JMHO, Mike McCarthy needs to settle on a starter at LG sooner than later.

Pack, I left some random thoughts in the "game day" thread. I pretty much agree with your statements.

Didn't we play the Browns in our pre season opener last season? I believe they beat us then too. I agree that the lines on both sides need work. Much like they did last season at the beginning.

They got some good looks at Lang and Sherrod.

They have to do some juggling to get a look at everyone and give them a chance.

Defensively, you know Capers shows nothing in preseason. Nobody gets tape on their stunts and blitzes. You can gripe all preseason yet see a huge jump opening night.

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!
beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed
Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)
Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird
Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."
Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.
Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"
Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.
Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”
packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b
Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with
packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie
beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.
Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst
Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck
beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now
beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies
Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol
Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?
beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!
Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.
Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.
