Personally I think offensively we should be much better. Grant, Finley, Tauchser are hits but survivable. I think McCarthy play calling has Rodgers rushing and pressing which is causing errant throws. Run the ball to slow the pass rush, get out of the shotgun to slow the pass rush. Run more short routes, to slow the pass rush. Personally I don't see any of this from Mike McCarthy.

Defensively, We have just lost to much and the injuries are to wide spread until we get some back.

Not sure how losing Grant is survivable. The guy has been steady as an RB all along and taking pressure of of Rodgers. Now look, Rodgers is always on his back and Sam Gado runs harder then Jackson.

Our pass rush without Matthews is terrible.

Grant does not run better than Jackson has the past two weeks. Jackson was 4.4 on the run and almost 10 per on receptions. Get him the ball and Rodgers will do better because the defense has to soften pass coverage to account for jackson.

Man, I have a lot of negative things to say about this years team but I am not giving up on our chances. Green and gold glasses prevent me from thinking injuries are going to end our season. I have alot to be pissed off about (such as the offensive play calling) but this is because I think this team still can make the playoffs. It is too early to think otherwise IMHO.

You really are going to compare 2 weeks to 2 years??

Jackson runs into the hole like he is praying not to get hit. Grant has been a lot better and steady then some think. I don't think we are 3-3 with Grant in the lineup. Just my opinion.

Many of us were Grant naysayers (myself included) up until about week 3, but I don't think any of us are still underestimating Grant's impact anymore, packer98.

I think quite a few liked Grant. I thought he was good for us, but felt he left many yards on the field by running into his own guys too often. That was my biggest gripe with him. That and we didn't do any screen's to him, but once Brandon came in, screen! Sure, Grant's not good at it, but make him good at it. Teach him, practice it, do it to get the defense off guard.

I can agree that we would probably have a better record, because McCarthy would call more runs with Grant. Grant is great at the Zone stretches. He gets was is there and can breakt eh the big runs. Grant does have problems. He runs with to much lean making cutting difficult and causes him to go down easy on leg tackles.

Jackson runs hard, he protects the ball and once in space he can run. And his diversity if used correctly would make the offense harder to defend.

They are differnt backs, which is why you can see the differnt runs being called for Jackson finally. but if McCarthy gave up on Grant like he does with Jackson, Grant wouldn't have squat for yards either. As a matter of fact, he has at time and all of us have yelled when it happened.
