13 carries, 103 yds, 7.9 per carry, 1 TD.

Looks like he's gonna be the lightning.

I look at it like this.

Imagine the Packers' offense like a warship. A new, big machine gun was just installed! It'll be able to match the giant missile launchers and other high-tech 21st century equipment. Oh wait, what's this? You have all these weapons supported on a boat made of wood?! WELL we can't use our nice weapons if the ship is going to easily sink!!!

FIX the offensive line, or this new weapon won't matter! This isn't a scapegoat, either. The offensive line has been failing for the past three years. It either needs to beef up from the inside or it's time to get new material from somewhere else.

😠

I really don't see how this offensive line hasn't lead to some lost jobs. Season after season of average AT BEST offensive line player, and usually much worse. It never ends.

We shit ourselves in many ways today. The Oline was adequate, imo.

Watch some 49ers highlights. It's like a wall. When we can achieve to atleast HALF of that, this team will be successful.

If for no other reason, the Packers don't have enough patience to allow the running game to win a game. They want to run just enough to pass to win. That's OK and all, and I get it, but it does play right into most defensive coordinators plans. Allow the Packers to get a few big runs, but just respond once they start throwing the ball again, which they inevitably want to ASAP.

O-line wasn't great today but they were also facing one of the best d-lines in the league. They did really good opening holes and getting some push in the run game but this isn't all on them. Rodgers made some really bad plays today regardless of how the line looked.

The Packers great GM just can't seem to get that little problem solved.
