Is it because the offense can't stay on the field or is the defense just playing bad?

Any comments?

I said it last week and I will say it again this week.. you can look at the Oline and all tangents are drawn from their..

It trickles down in all aspects of our offense.. Mike McCarthy lack of confidence (which is warranted) in the ability of the offensive line.

Campen better gets these boys playing better and soon.

The D is giving up yardage but continue to MAKE THE BIG PLAYS at crucial times.
The problem being a defense can only be on the field so long before something bad happens.

Both. The D is making the big plays, but we're lacking in fundamentals like taking good angles and tackling.

The defense is in a serious injury crisis. Nick Collins seems to constantly be hurting himself, Bigby, Rouse, Hawk, are all nagged by injury, Woodson has been a stud(I wouldn't believe you if you hadn't told me he had a broken toe) Harris is out for awhile( and I really miss him, he has a fight that this defense could have used yesterday)

The d-line is tired, Keeping those guys fresh is a must, and right now we are a little thin on the line. Corey Williams trade now seems like a bad move.

Another area of emphasis needs to be Wrap up tacking. Not this hit em high and hope that you land a knock out punch.

I think Campen needs to go. Bring in someone who can run the ZBS or scrap it altogether. Demote Philbin and put him back in charge of the line. Then bring in someone who knows how to run an offense because McCarthy's "prevent offense" playcalling sucks. Lane Kiffin is looking for a job... he'd do nicely, IMO.

Keep the D fresh and they will be okay...even with the injury issues. The answer is running the friggen football and sustaining drives. The OL needs to pull their heads out now or we are screwed.

They need to either pass protect weel or run well. Right now we can't do either. We have no identity on offense because our OL isn't performing.

Can we please get off the ZBS...it's not the problem. The problem is teh cut block portion of teh ZBS. More than 50-% of all NCAA teams and many NFL teams run the ZBS just not the cut block part. Big fat OL can run teh ZBS, it's the Cutblocking that is an issue.

Cut blocking is the part of the ZBS that I have the biggest issue with. It's dirty, and unnecessary. But moral qualms aside, whatever they're doing - whatever you want to call it - clearly isn't working.

(My apologies to the original poster who wanted this thread to be about the defense... but think the o-line is the root of all our problems. Hell, if our line wasn't so crappy, even that stiff of a punter wouldn't be such an issue.)

I would be cautious about this, I think the other teams have made stupid mistakes instead.
If you take away some really silly throws by Kitna and Griese how does our defense look? They are taking what is given but they are not producing anyting special on its own. No forced fumbles, no tackles behind the line.

We are playing vanilla defense, we rush 4, cover man to man and the LBs are just there. I hate the scheme.
We have no depth in the DL Jolly and Picket are good but get tired soon, Cole is not very good and that is that. We really really miss Corey Williams.

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
