The Packers have started off 1 - 2 the last three seasons.

2014 finished ? - ?

2013 finished 8 - 7 - 1
'Won' division title
Lost Wild Card round vs 49ers

2012 finished 11 - 5
Won division title
Won Wild Card round vs Vikings
Lost Division round vs 49ers

I'm not liking this trend.

Then there is this. "McCarthy didn't put the blame on Rodgers and said he felt he didn't stay committed to the run enough to take pressure off the quarterback in the passing game. McCarthy indicated that he allowed Rodgers to do most of the play-calling in the second half."

Again, the same post game flavor of comments. This is just another rerun ho-hum.

Packers seem to start off slow most years... and then follow it with a winning streak that gets them back on track...

2014: 1-2
2013: 1-2 in Sept followed by 4-0 in Oct
2012: 2-3 followed by 5-0
2011: 13-0 followed by 2-1 (I said most not all)
2010: 3-3 followed by 4-0 (and if I remember right didn't the Falcons rob the game of that game? Other wise it would of been 6-0).
2009: 4-4 followed by 5-0
2008: 2-3 followed by 4-7 in Rodgers first year as starter...
2007: 4-1 followed by 5-0
2006: 1-4 followed by 3-1
2005: 0-4 followed by 2-3 year Sherman
2004: 1-4 followed by 6-0
2003: 3-4 followed by 7-2
2002: 6-1 followed by 6-3
2001: 4-2 followed by 5-1

I hate it that he apparently still thinks "staying committed to the run" is what is needed. A big hell no to that! Over and over and over early in the game, they ran it on first and usually second down too - mostly off tackle, mostly to the left side behind damn Bakhtiari. We need to stay committed to THAT?

If we had a half decent O Line, it might be different, but we don't. Lacy can't take a step before the D is on him; Rodgers has zero time to throw - he really never did even in previous years. I watch Peyton Manning and others, and I can only dream of what Aaron Rodgers would do if he ever had a decent O Line.

Assuming that ain't gonna happen - if we are gonna go down, I'd rather it be with a "puncher's chance" - letting Aaron be Aaron - doing what won a Super Bowl and got us to 15-1 the next year. Let him roll out/scramble as needed, and throw it down the field. Use the pass to set up the run - not stupidly vice versa.

In short, we seem to lack playmaking options this time around, unless Lacy and/or Cobb suddenly start playing up to last year. Or Bostick is a revelation.

I suppose that means it'll be on Aaron to step up his game and make those around him better. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be likely either given his play of late.

Of course it's a bit harder with Suh and Fairley are 2 of those 6 as well as another top 5 overall DL and good run stopping DE in Jason Jones.

With how well the Packers ran it at times last year, I admit I'm baffled at how poorly the run blocking has been this season. Granted, the Seahawks/Jets/Lions all have good fronts. Still, biggest disappointment on offense, in my opinion, has been the huge step back in the running game.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Yes, the season isn't over yet.
And I can surely understand people being frustrated with the awful play.
I don't know if the talent is there to turn it around.
I HOPE they do.

And for the record, they didn't beat us. We beat ourselves.

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Geeze Zero get it right!😋

Zero2Cool (7h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever

Zero2Cool (7h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (10h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (10h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (10h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (11h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (11h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (11h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (12h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (12h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (12h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (15h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (22h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (23h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
