Today's issue was the passing game

For the 20+ years, the Packers have had a passing game that has been reliable. The wide recievers may not have been the best ever, but they were good. We now are in a situation that none of our Wide Recievers can distance themselves the way they need to to be open.

You blame MM or Tom, but they are limited towards their possibilities

What I saw today was tight coverage, with no one beating their one-on-ones. I saw players DROP balls that were pin-point accurate. We have always drafted low on wide recievers.... and for awhile, it worked. But now it has caught up to us.

It's time to contemplate the FA route. I'm not talking about superstar WRs. An older guy, someone who can atleast just get open. Because right now, no one is open.

I saw plenty of drops by Cobb and Adams, but I also saw the usual complete lack of emotion and Aaron mis-firing and stat whoring.

We saw two horribly missed Def PI/Holding calls, I wonder how much the refs let go today and how that affected our receivers (not that that is an excuse). Overall, with the stoppages and delays, this was a horribly officiated game.

When refs play loose, and let the DBs get physical... the Packers WRs seem to turn into struggling babies for some reason and don't toughen up...

One problem I've had is that their are tricks one can use when allowed to play more physical and the Packers WRs seem to either not use them or not known them... I think that they should be taught and used when the refs are allowing for more physical plays.

One of the ones I love/hate is when a WR can't get to the ball cleanly, they can throw themselves into the DB and make the DB run into/over them which normally gets a flag thrown... is that legal? I don't know but it happens... I know TE Greg Olsen basically did just that against the Packers when the ball looked over thrown, and he just threw himself into the DB and get the flag thrown for a LONG 1st down non-catch.

Todays issue was not just the passing game. How about that running game? They were playing not to lose the entire game. There is zero emotion on the team, well there was a little last week on the sidelines with Raji and Dix? The Lions had nothing to lose and they came to play. MM once again did not get the team ready to play. How does anyone get outcoached by Caldwell? Unless you are a dumbass HC.

The Packers managed to put up 40+ point in 2011 in the regular season against average defenses without a run game.

The Packers should be able to easily do that against the Lions in 2015.
