Not a lot of opportunities. Either the Lions defense is playing great or our OLine doesn't know how to run block (probably the latter).

I'm not trying to make excuses. Jackson has gone through the same exact thing.

Actually Jackson has looked decent in the couple of carries he's had today.

I don't dislike Jackson, and I want him to do well. I just want us to have a good running game, no matter who is running it.

Quit BSing yourself, we have no running game, period!!!

This game definitely proves this and this game isn't even being placed outside in the cold and wind. Long winter ahead.

This is a valid point. Many (myself included) started drinking the Starks Kool-aide last week...and I still feel that he seemed to finish runs better, and hit the hole quicker than Jackson, but it seems that Jackson hasn't had a prayer in hell all year because our Oline is a (insert your choice of George Carlin's forbidden 7 here) joke at run blocking.

IF directed to me..

I never said we have a running game

I am trying to prove a point that our line is as much to blame if not MORE so then who is running

+1 for succinctly making the most abundantly clear point of the day. Our OLine seems to be so-so at pass pro (except for today) but it's abundantly clear that they can't open up a hole big enough for a quark.

It is really weird.

Back in the offseason, this was exactly what I was worried about with respect to the OL (unable to run or pass, Rodgers knocked out of game).

Yet, eerily, I can't bring myself to say "told you so." I still think the OL is the team's weakness, but I think overall the team is better than I thought it would be right now.

Maybe it's because the Packers seem to play badly most years in Detroit. But I'm far more confident about GB's playoff future than I was in either March, July, or September.

It doesn't hurt that the Bears are getting killed by the Patriots, though.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
