Packers Defense in trouble!!

Packers defense seems like they're going to continue to struggle against the run. With the Bears having all their best WRs injured or banged up and Cutler at QB, the Packers dared the Bears to throw the ball as they loaded up against the run and the Packers still couldn't stop the run.

The Packers beat the Bears, but in the next couple of weeks the Packers have to face the Seahawks, Chiefs and Rams.... so the Packers defense are in trouble as they're about to face even better running games, with even more powerful OL whom have competent QBs...

I think it needs to be mention that SS Morgan Burnett is one of the Packers best run defenders was out... but still the Packers defense struggled a lot against the run.

1) We'll be better with Morgan back, and our other 2 defensive lineman. And maybe Dix will get a good lashing tonight.
2) The penalties made our defense look a lot worse than it was.
3) It was the first game of the year. Let's not panic.
4) Who gets cut this week?

Totally agree Beast. It was painful to see the run D effort we saw today. My only positive is our tendency has been to suck ass the first game and look still in pre-season mode. At least we got a win due to the Bears being a lower tier team. At least we got the 'Hawks at home.

We clean up these penalties, and we've got a chance. Fuck the SEattle Seahawks.

I wonder if we'll ever have that feeling like back in '96 when you knew your defense would just mudstomp any opponent? Going into games trying relying on your offense to score 30+ points is not good strategy.

I'm by no means satisfied, but I'm not going to draw conclusions either. September has become preseason.

There were some uncharacteristically bad performances (shields) coupled with/o 3 starters for parts if not all of the game. Seattle gave up 34 too.

Again, by no means am I saying I'm happy watching Cutler "disect" this defense.

I'm more concerned about... the self shitting.

2) The defense made the defense look back... the penalties just put some more chances and points up... but the Bears were running all over the Packers... Forte averaged over 5.8 yards per carry.

3) Good point... Forte averaged 6.56 yards per carry in the first half, but only 4.5 in the second half. Of course Forte isn't Lynch and Cutler isn't Wilson.

4) Depends on injuries IMO... if Barrington goes to the IR then no one. If Burnett is fully healthy then maybe Banjo... other options probably include OG Taylor, DL Gaston and OLB Mulumba

I have concerns across the defense, particularly at linebacker. My other concern is our punter. To me, punting has become something I don't like to watch. I don't have much hope for Tim anymore. The defense, however, didn't concern me as much as I thought it would overall. They were pretty much bend but don't break, which I am cool with. I'll take that. My hope, and our need, is that a middle linebacker emerges opposite clay and that SOMEONE can rush the passer.

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 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 (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : 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

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

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