I hope you are right but at this point I'm not real confident in the depth.
Hopefully we get some players healthy to build that depth for the stretch run.
Today the Packers appear pretty thin at most positions maybe by Sunday things won't look so grim.

We had plenty of depth. We have used up a good portion of it already. But it is true. To win, the offense needs to start scoring. In 08 the defense got criticized for not stepping up when Rodgers and the offense would score. Well the coin has flipped.

I think it starts with McCarthy. Time to do what you did medseason last year. Dial it back, and get to the basics. Run the ball, if you don't sprinkle in atleast a small consistent dose of runs, the safeties play deeper, the LBers play deeper and it is harder to throw.

Get out of the shotgun. The defense already knows we are going to run, and we have had some blocking problems. Shotgun give the DE/OLB the advantage on our Tackles. There is no longer a snap count, it is all on ball movement and the defense has a better view of the ball. They also don't have to worry about a hard count.

My point is for this thread is that IMO in order to win games until some of these guys, especially on Defense, get healthy is for Rodgers, Driver, Jennings, and the Oline to get on the same page and put more points on the board.

The Oline has not allowed a big number of sacks but has also failed to give Rodgers enough time at times, or, when they do he misses the throw,or, the receiver drops the ball.

With all the talent on the team they can overcome this and still win games but NOW with several players out they need to be sharp and play the way they can.

The room for error has narrowed. For me it doesn't start with Rodgers. It starts with the Oline, THEN it's on Rodgers, and THEN it's on who he gets the ball too.

For example we probably win this last game if Driver doesn't drop 4 balls. There were a couple that would have greatly improved field position and ended up being drive killers.
