I agree bboy.
I myself am frustrated with what I see are mistakes that shouldn’t have happened.
The long return on the kickoff was one big one. Crosby then kicks out of bounds and sets up another short field.
Missed tackles, no run stopping (or pass stopping) defense.
The offense having 4 shots at the one and not getting into the end zone. Then the game ending interception.

Another thing that REALLY frustrates me is: the run game was obviously NOT working at all. So when does the coach realize it and stop trying? After 3 quarters of nothing, why not just pass on every down? Every time it wasted at least one down. Often LOSING yards and making it second and long.
Yes, I KNOW they want “balance”, but at what point do you say “the heck with what’s not working “ and try to win the game???
I LOVE the Packers, and will back them and watch every week, like I have for the last 55 plus years.
But I can’t overlook what I see as bonehead moves.
I call it the way I see it.

i hate when fans act like they cant talk or criticize their team. I was bigging up this team the past 3 weeks. I think its perfectly OK to take off the sunshine glasses and talk about how they got exposed on national television. You are more then welcome to not participate in this talk and move onto other homer posts and think everything will be ok next week.

Why the hell did Mark Murphy hire Gutekunst?

He hasn't done a damn thing to make the team better!

Lefleur doesn't have a clue how to call a game!

The other teams know what The Packers are going to run before the play is called!

Aaron Rodgers' freelancing is the only thing that saves the team from defeat most weeks!

Pettines defensive schemes are a joke!

What's with all the damn injuries already?
What the hell are the strength and conditioning coaches doing?
The players need to do their damn Yoga!

The fucking world is coming to an end because The Packers lost a home game on national tv and EVERYONE is going to laugh at us.

Why the hell did McCarthy get fired?

Nothing has changed after 4 games!

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Buckeye, it’s one thing to make valid points about how your team may have played bad, and going off on wild stuff like you said in your post.
I myself can’t just ignore what I see as things that aren’t good, and pretend all is well.
If you don’t face there are problems, how can you fix them?
It doesn’t mean you aren’t a fan of the team if you dare to point out valid shortcomings, does it?
I said VALID ones. Not just making up stuff. I haven’t seen anyone here throwing out senseless stuff like you are saying.
If I did, I would agree with you.
But I see valid criticism of the team’s play. Do you not agree?

The Packers can't run the ball and can't stop the run, this is not a recipe for success.
The Cowboys will run for 300 yards against us.
Running backs around the league are licking their chops as they think about playing against the Packers defense.

I also think most of us thought it was a risk to only have two RB's active on game day. I would rather us have 3, especially if the coach wants to run the ball often.

The final two drives of the game were really deflating. I don't think many of us were as oppomistic as the national media was (thinking about the "OMG when Rodgers starts getting his groove and with this defense, watch out!" comments).

I don't know that we really will know what kind of team we have until after 8 games.

And for the Dom Capers and Mike McCarthy comments ... football is football. It always looks similar so if you were expecting some drastic changes you're just not really holding realistic expectations.

We have to be realistic here. The Packers can't fill every hole in one off-season. It is a process. Hopefully the moves we made pan out.

This loss isn't the worst thing in the world. Everyone was on the Packer wagon, and it was starting to scare me. I feel like this team always plays better when they have something to prove. Do we need improvements? Sure. Our running game just needs to be more simple. Get Aaron Jones north and south. Don't rely on tosses and cut backs. Too much finesse is being relied on. The passing game will be fine. That redzone disaster won't happen often. Our d was humbled, they will bounce back.

At the end of the day we are 3-1 during a stretch we had no business being 3-1 in under a new coach and system. Breathe people.

Zero2Cool (10h) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (13h) : 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.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

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

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.

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

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.”

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
