I assure you this won't happen, but listed are some of the changes and non changes I'd like to see.

Wynn for Grant (I like them both, but Wynn is far more talented) and 20 carries a game.

Colledge needs to stay at LG until Clifton retires and I'm not even so sure about that, but LG for sure. We felt that Spitz was better than Wells at C, and Colledge was better than Spitz at LG. So why did we weaken TWO spots PLUS the LT position at the same time? I'd prefer to use Lang and let the kid show us what he can do. And if he gets ran over, well, so is Colledge! And then we just run to the right or bootleg to the right a bit more. The OL shuffle = LOSE

Bishop for Barnett, I'm tired of the samari I want to see a sledge hammer.

Nelson/Tramon for Blackmon on returns and get rid of Blackmon, too injury prone for my tastes now.

More blitz's from the defense. Against the Bears the defense was fucking exciting to watch because you could see the defenders roaming around damn near taunting the QB. Now? Everyone is sitting still waiting for the snap. I prefer the aggressive nature instead of the reactive nature.

Rodgers, STOP HOLDING ONTO THE BALL SO LONG! I know you're freaked out when you count to 4 and still haven't gotten laid out, but shit bro chuck that shit away!

We should have Brandon Jackson and Atari Bigby back after the BYE week. That should make us better.

Wynn has an injury and as people said, can't catch.

Bump him.

Move Lumpkin up.

I'd like to see the Packers split the carries in the backfield in general. Grant hasn't performed to his contract for a year and a half now (rating him by his yards per carry). Despite Wynn's reasonably stout blocking on third downs, I'd prefer Jackson to be back there when fit because he can actually catch the football.

Other than that I agree with Bishop for Barnett, I can't remember Barnett making too many plays this season, in fact I've seen him run over numerous times.

I'd like to see Kampman rushing with his hand down a fair few times every game.

Maybe Giordano at safety, I've got no idea how good he is, but he can't be worse than Martin looked last night. To be honest, Bush didn't look too bad back there, even though I still think he's a better corner than safety.

You didn't read did ya? He's got a bum wrist now and as others have pointed out, can't catch.

Recap, bum limb, can't catch = good bye. :)

Although, it's probably best to stand pat until we have some solid OL play first THEN worry about who should be running the ball. I'd just prefer to see someone else get some carries at the RB position. They won't give many to Grant, maybe they'll give them to someone else??? lol

I just do not know!!

If they won't give Grant 20 carries, put someone in that they will give 20 carries to ... I guess that's my main point. I just don't believe any RB can get it going on 10-15 carries on a regular basis. I think you need 20 or more to get into a good grove for the RB and the OL.

It is and I explained why the drastic change. Heck, I didn't say it made sense! lol

I said it better in my post previous to this regarding the RB position.

Haha ok.

Anywho, I'm really looking forward to BJackson returning. Hopefully his return will bring back some of the focus to the running game. He seems to specialize in the screens/dump off passes, along with a good change of pace from Grant. Maybe with him in there it will make things easier for grant to get going.

Of course, this is all for nothing if our offensive line continues to play like garbage. That needs to be changed first and fore-most.

Geez here I thought I was the only one on these boards with these opinions/feelings (made a whole thread last week about the above also - only got a few responses.)

Concerning grant, barnett, jackson/wynn and a new return guy.

To be honest I liked Mike McCarthy play calling alot more in this game then some of his others. Meaning more screens and short passes to stop the pressure.
It was a start ...

-edit- if jackson is gtg; I agree with the part about bumping wynn; lets get woodhead from the jets practice squad (ya Im going to keep hammering that till I see a good back on our team). (btw this guy returns well also).

packerfanoutwest (2h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (10h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
