I don't think anyone here really cares whether the Packers go undefeated or not. If another team with superior talent comes in and defeats them -- or another team executes a great game plan tailored to foil the Packers' strengths and exploit their weaknesses -- more power to them. What we don't want to see is the Packers' beating themselves -- losing a game because they make stupid plays or execute poorly. We don't want our quarterback throwing an interception at the worst possible moment, or our wide receivers dropping a perfectly thrown goal-line pass, or our defenders whiffing on easy tackles, or opposing linemen lumbering down the field on kickoff returns. That is what drives the fans nuts and makes them nervous about their prospects in the playoffs.

I have said that very thing for years. It is one thing to lose to a better team when you bust your butt and play hard. That is life and happens every single day. It is another thing to execute poorly and give the game away. Of course that too happens every day.

You could add to the list of miss cues-
Linemen missing their blocks and getting the QB sacked or the punt blocked.
Onside kicks miss handled and the other team recovers. I did not watch the replay of the kick that Jordy whiffed on. From what I read it just took a bad bounce and he couldn't grab it so he tried to knock it out of bounds. But the near botched play last Sunday was inexcusable by DJ Smith. It was no where near the 10 yards that is required nor was it moving in that direction.
Or the one I really hate is when the PR makes a fair catch around the 5 yard line. even if there is a couple of defenders standing there, it is still possible for the ball to bounce into the endzone.

James Starks practiced today, although he was "limited", but that is a very good sign.

I'm not sure what the schedule if for this week, but I am assuming there is no practice tomorrow and it is a travel day.

Nice to have Ryan Grant to fall back on, and personally I am hoping Brandon Saine gets a few touches on Thursday.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I'd like to see Kuhn get some carries. He never gets that many yards but hurts guys tackling him.

Saine's speed would look good on that turf.

Actually with Suh, I want him as far away from 🇦🇷 as possible.
