I do think the Packers WILL be good, but expecting them to come out of the gates on all cylinders with rookies when we know our QB needs to build "trust" is very strange expectation. I mean, you even acknowledged that Rodgers is stubborn, so why be this downtrodden over just one game?

I'm not going to be worried after one game. If we don't see improvements from game to game and we look like the same vs Jets as we did Sunday, you can bet your sweet ass I'm gonna be panicking and hitting that DEFCON 1 button lol.

I'm good with the Packers spending their money how they did instead of on Z. Smith. Three years for $42 million for that guy? Nah, we spent it better. This isn't a knock on Z. Smith, I like him WHEN he's healthy, but the guy gets dinged up so much. That said, I think he's only hitting their cap for like $5 million this year, but it jumps to around $15 million then $22 million. He might be cut after 2022. 🤷‍♂️

The fact that we didn't have our starting tackles is no small deal. Rodgers was getting pressure nearly every time he went back to pass. The Vikings saw this and clamped down on the routes right off the LOS (as they should).
I don't understand why the blame for the lack of offense is on the WR's when before every game the emphasis is on which team can generate a pass rush. When a team can constantly create pressure forget about going over the top. Yes, we missed the shot on the first play of the game, however, as the game went on going over the top was taken away. Rodgers had no time to go over the top.
We PAY our tackles because they are damn good. We NEED our tackles playing the game. I'm not blaming the Wr's for nothing until we can run a legitimate offense where Rodgers can fake a hand off and actually have a reasonable amount of time to pass the ball. We have the players on the roster to make this happen. We just need them on the field.
