I had a bad feeling coming into this game, with the injuries and the heat. But I thought the Packers would at least play respectable football. This was their worst performance in quite awhile. What worries me is that a lot of our core players are not playing well. Clifton and Tauscher are whiffing on blocks, which almost never happened before, Ryan Pickett has disappeared,
and Donald Driver and Donald Lee have not done much lately.
The lack of blitzing on defense is becoming a problem too. They let Griese get settled in during the first half. To not sack a QB as immobile as Griese is really bad.
The special teams have been disappointing as well. They were good in the first game, but they've been a negative in the next three games. Poor punting and poor blocking for the returners. The bye can't come soon enough, but we've got the next best thing: the Falcons at home.
