Rodgers had the flu, our WRs were banged up, we had no secondary and Atlanta was a better team. It was hopeless and we should have tried something different, we didn't and that was sad.

The Glass Half Full:
- B. Bulaga: Stud, he battled the whole game he won every single match, even after losing TJ and Taylor Bulaga kept blocking and winning. Well done.

The Glass Half Empty:
- L. Gunter: Not really his fault, he is a 4th or 5th CB against one of the best WRs in the game. But even considering what we can expect from him he was bad.
- D. Randall: I'm speechless about this kid. He avoids contact in every single play. He can't cover, he can't tackle. It is absolutely clear he can't play the position, maybe it's time to move him to safety.
- Q. Rollins: I fail to understand why he plays, he hasn't made a single good play in the whole season and he is totally clueless about the CB position. I don't care if every single DB is injured, nobody can play worst than Rollins.
- A. Ripkowski: I still like this kid,I hope he had the worst game of his career.
- J. Peppers: Time to retire old man.
- R. Cobb: We needed him, he couldn't get open against a really bad secondary.

Running section: HaHa Clinton Dix hate watch. What I say about HaHa? He played another horrible game it seems he is not interested in helping defend the pass, he is just standing there looking for a bad pass to be picked. Again he refrained contact in several plays.

I have a mild hope that Capers will go, our defense collapsed in too many playoff games for my taste. I've written a post at the start of this season titled "it's the secondary, it's always the secondary" back then I thought that was the critical missing piece in the puzzle and I think that is still the case. The NFL is a passing league and defenses win championships. I think Teddy could've costed us 2 or 3 years picking HaHa,Randall and Rollins. Our LBs are also bad, maybe Jake Ryan is going to be good.
We need a blockbuster CB in free agency and we need a stellar draft to fix the defense if we want a shot at the SB, and a new DC to have some fresh air would be great.

I did feel like our receivers were being mauled by Atlanta's secondary. Even so, there were plenty of plays in which receivers were being ignored. Rodgers simply chose not to look their way. When his favorite targets are on the field and the pressure is high, Rodgers has a tendency to get tunnel vision. It's a major flaw in his game. I think he needs to get over his insistence that receivers earn his trust and just start taking what the defense offers him, even if it's not glitzy, glamorous, or comfortable.

That deep bomb for an interception was a perfect example. Cook was wide, wide open and ready for an easy 15-yard gain along the sidelines. Instead Rodgers whipped it way downfield to a triple-covered Nelson who wasn't even expecting to be a target and never bothered to glance over his shoulder. Why?

Likewise, Adams and Davis were all but ignored by the defense all game, yet Rodgers hardly glanced their way. I don't think Davis was targeted even once, and he had at least one opportunity for a walk-in touchdown. Why?

I'm not asking for a blockbuster secondary, just one that isn't ranked 32nd in the league.

It helps to have a coordinator running a scheme that places the DBs somewhere in the same area code as the WRs.

Randall, Rollins and Gunter will be ok.

Randall avoids contact, because he's playing with (among other things) a shoulder injury.

Aaron may have the flu, not sure on the details of that, but this whole "lull" thing has been going on for much longer than that. Did he have the flu the second half last week too?

Rollins had a good rookie season but regressed to zero this year, last time I looked he was #82 among 82 CBs in the league.

I think Rodgers was not 100% he never looked for the deep pass and was throwing short when guys were open. He also has some kind of mental issue that goes on and off. That is absolutely clear.

It's amazing what pressure and few massive hits will do to a QB. Especially with the weight of carrying the entire team, which seems to always fall on Rodgers shoulders. Maybe one day he will have a defense that will make it OK to punt once and a while. The historically bad output of the Packers defense year-after-year is inexcusable, whether it's Dom Capers or Ted Thompson's fault. Good defenses do exist, just not for the Packers.

Fair enough, and I've made the same point many a time. Then again, there is less need to punt in the games when Rodgers goes through his progressions instead of forcing it to his favorite targets.
