The Packers opening drive was a thing of absolute beauty.
Unfortunately the game was brutal to watch after that drive.
I seriously had to force myself to watch the 4th quarter.
Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy!

Janis v Pinkard for that last WR spot, with White on the outside looking in.

I love watching our young guys grow up and now they have to do it faster. Gonna be fun watching this offense. More fun than it would've been, at least for me.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Pinkard has big play ability no doubt. His 40 time was 4.51, so nothing amazing, but like Jordy, he goes off when he gets the ball in stride. You saw that with ODU. I'm remember a one handed catch he made that was incredible in his highlight reel.

Pinkard has been clocked much faster than his 4.51 and if you watched the YouTube clip of Jordy blowing the doors off Aqib Talib ( 4.44 ) in college you knew he could hang.

Guy in clip says Jordy has 4.3 speed????? Never understood where he got that from?

Watching the plays Pink has made thus far have definitely stuck out to me. Like Janis he can create separation with his speed. The only visible weakness I saw in Jordy's game was his inability to get off physical coverage despite his size and strength. Pinkhard is smaller than both of those guys, but I haven't been able to get a sense of his strength battling against physical coverage.

We have options...just hoping they're good enough. We do have league MVP.

Well I'll it over Janis being inconsistent with his hands. If Janis could get that under control he'd be something real damn special. I am holding out hope but Janis has to improve his consistency in that area.

I'll just put this here. I think everyone can agree that overall this game was a complete bust due to the loss of Nelson but a good thing that stood out to me are our young CBs continuing to step it up and make plays. Gunter, Randall, and Rollins so far have all excelled. If even just two of them keep it going into the regular season we are looking really good at a position that was completely up in the air a month ago.
