GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The charmed existence of Titletown, circa 2009-13, might well have shattered Monday night.

The Green Bay Packers, after all, have built four postseason appearances, two consecutive NFC North titles and one Super Bowl victory around the most elite quarterback play imaginable. The Packers without Aaron Rodgers? Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no, no no no no no no no.

They've already lost one game without him, a 27-20 defeat to the Chicago Bears on Monday, and quite frankly the Packers face a difficult road to the playoffs if his injured left shoulder sidelines him for a any significant time.

I will say this in Wallace's defense: McCarthy didn't help him with all the pass plays called. I thought there were plenty of opportunities for us to convert and extend drives with a running game that was working just perfectly. For whatever reason, they kept going to pass plays, with an ice cold backup QB.

Why? I still don't get that.

I believe we should have won this game, even without Rodgers and Lang. Really poor play calling.

Jonathan Franklin is a 100 yd RB. Proven. Why did he not get more reps, or, any reps? It should have been a 3 headed monster of Lacy, Starks and Franklin. Didn't happen. That's where we lost the game.

The very next play he showed he had no concept of an internal clock and bumbled away a Sh-- Show of a final drive.

A coach can't throw the f'ing ball for the QB.

Wallace did look like crap. No question. But, that is the staff's responsibility. They had 3 quarters to take note of that and adjust their game plan. Poor preparation, and poor game time management. We all saw it. Why didn't the staff? Zero adjustments made = LOSS.

The Packers had 29 rushes to 21 passes. They stuck to dink and dunk, what he, theoretically, should have been capable of doing.

Did you not watch the last drive? As I already stated, that could not have more clearly illustrated Seneca's limitations. Zero blame on MM...Ted, sure, Seneca, you betcha, but MM??? Specifically say what more could have been done when given a QB mid game who clearly has physical limitations prohibiting him from running any semblance of the Packer's offense.
