Our D got screwed by the Refs but they are not our problem. Our offense is our problem. Reading the articles from the staff lately doesn't have me optimistic. I hope they turn it around. Doesn't look like they are game-planning well at all.

So I expect our offense to come back into time and we will start to revert back to last years type level. The quick passes will be there again without heavy contact, and we will start to convert again in 3rd and shorts via the pass. It will play into Mike McCarthy pass happy ways, I hope he gets what a running game does via last week, but I doubt it.
Now.. Expect our defense to revert a bit as well, as we were utilizing that physical style that was being allowed.. so I expect our defense to slip a bit.. how much will be the question. With the better pass rush.. I expect not to the 2011 level. But just the same, don't expect the level we have seen in the last two weeks were DB's were allowed to play a bit more physical down field.. hopefully we still get in the grilles in the 5 yards allowed. I hope Capers stays in the more basic coverage where the youngsters don't have to adjust to much.. just let them play.
But the impact of the refs, I do not expect it to be biased for or against the Packers.. but I expect it to impact each and every Packer game moving forward. Our offense more than most.
The bad news this week.. it will help the option route based Saints as well.
