Well, it's definitely improved as a unit. But I'm not quite ready to pop champagne yet. Sorry.

Fortunately, though, once the offense gets its act in gear, there isn't that much improvement needed. :)

THREE games is a reasonable gauge for a 16 game season.

Factor in jumping up 31 spots... That is phenomenal.

Cutler was in the pro bowl, was he not?

This defense is for real. They may not be #1 across the board, but right now I'm more worried about the offense. Particularly in short yardage situations.

Game 1 was against a very good team but it was the first game of the season, and we lost due to problems on offense and defense. Game 2 was against the Bears, the offense was mediocre but the defense was killer. The bears O line sucks and Cutler sucks, though. Game 3, the offense still fizzled but the defense played well, however the seahawks have a very good defense and a poor offense.

The saints are kind of a mystery too, if we shut them down on defense, is it because we're really that improved or is it because the Saints have been struggling and are continuing to struggle? If the offense plays well, is it because the offense is good or because the Saints D sucks?

Packers got throttled once, throttled someone once, and eeked out a bloody non-victory on the final play. Call it 1.5-1.5 if you want, I don't think any of us would agree we're a 8-8 team either. But the Packers did not play well enough to definitively win that game, considering the final score. Overcame adversity, sure. Had a solid showing on defense and special teams, sure.

IMO at this point it is a large ray of hope. The teams we played are questionable but I don't think last years D would have done as well. Brees should be a little stiffer test and add to the evaluation. My mantra this year is for the D to have definite improvement each week. I think this D has the potential to be very good the last half of the year and the playoffs.

Martha Careful (17m) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (1h) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (17h) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (18h) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Zero2Cool (18h) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.

Zero2Cool (18h) : -3 buwahhhahaaha

Mucky Tundra (18h) : 4th

Zero2Cool (19h) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (21h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
