I'm proud of the team that played today. I'm still annoyed by key drops, breakdowns along the o-line (Bulaga got handled today), and pre-snap penalties. Who wouldn't be? But today, in my opinion, was lost in Green Bay's inability to get after Henne and also to give Rodgers more time.

I didn't perceive a lack of effort. I thought it was gutsy in lieu of the injuries. And let me be clear -- the injury argument isn't one (an argument). It isn't an excuse, but it sure as hell is an explanation. The backups are backups because they're perceived by the coaching staff as lesser players. It's unreasonable to expect we'll play better with worse players.
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I agree Evad. The guys were giving it all they had, it just wasn't enough.
Unlike the Bears game, we got beat today.
The penalty on the LB (Francois?) was a back breaker. Our D stopped them, and he pulls a bonehead play like that. The way our team is hit with serious injuries, we have to play near perfect to win. And obviously, we didn't do that.

The refs and injuries are not excuses. The injuries have hurt us as we've had a plethora of them. No team can lose as many players as we have and continue to win.

I don't think the ref's are costing us games. We get a few calls, we get a few against us. That evens out a bit. I'm not seeing other teams we play suffering the same injury losses we are and that's where were losing the tussle at.

Why would the refs getting injured be an excuse. LOL Sorry trying to take the day in stride

How can valid excuses be just another "excuse?" If you decide to bypass the obvious then you're just on a witch hunt to blame whoever you can. The injuries right now ARE the biggest reason we're losing and not playing well, same with penalties. I'm not saying the offense isn't under-performing because it is to an extent. If you look at the numbers we're generally getting production but turnovers, penalties and failure to score are all killing us in that department.

What I want to know is why are we getting so many injuries? It seems the last 2 years or so we've had way too many injuries to key players. Is it the fitmess coaches and the way our guys are prepairing (working out) ? Is it just dumb luck? I'm baffled.

What bothers me most is that the receivers seem to be playing with little or no passion. When was the last time we saw a receiver lay out for a pass? I believe once this game. Unless the pass is gift-wrapped to them (and sometimes when it is!), they seem to give up on the play, as though they've lost interest or they don't think it's worth getting injured. They're appallingly lacking in confidence.

I don't care how much "talent" these guys have, if they can't keep their mitts on the ball, they need to be replaced. I'd rather have an undrafted free agent with less talent but sure hands than glitzy talents with blazing speed and no assurance.

Drops killed us again. We would have had a first down and extended a drive in the red zone on one of them. That would have been the difference in the game.

I don't believe injuries cost the Packers victories against Chicago and Washington or was the cause for their lackluster performance against Detroit. I think other factors played a role. Coaching, execution and penalties to name a few.

However, you're kidding yourself if you think injuries didn't play a factor today. You're also joking if you think they won't catch up eventually. Today, injuries is the main reason why GB loss this game.

The Packers played pretty well all things considered. They ran a little bit. They threw it well despite the offensive line and Rodgers' problems. Their defense even allowed only two touchdowns, which isn't bad all things considered.

There is no such thing as a bad loss, but this one didn't hurt as much as Washington because I saw growth today. There are still gripes, but they showed some balls in this game. First time all season.

The main reason why GB loss this game was because Ryan Pickett wasn't there to play. He hurt more so than Clay Matthews even. If Pickett is in there, Miami can't run the ball and control the clock the way they did. That was the difference. The Dolphins knew Pickett wasn't playing and they game planned accordingly. Credit them for being smart, which they normally are.

I think if you want to be the tough guy or gal and proclaim injuries are just a lame excuse, then you're not watching the same game week in and week out as other people.

Yes, sometimes people do blame injuries when there is nothing to blame it on. But this is not an example of that happening, which was the case of last week.

Honestly, Green Bay wins this one with Pickett.
