It Tauscher can't go, I'd start T.J. Lang at right tackle. I think it might be his best position.

A weird thought just occurred to me. Is it possible the reason why we have a top-five defense is because our opponents start out with such excellent field position that our defense just doesn't have too any yards to give up? As has been pointed out in other threads, the Bucs had all of two drives of more than 50 yards. Our defense may not have given up many yards, but they didn't have many yards to give. Maybe the numbers are deceiving. I'm not sure how this could be analyzed, though.

The thing is. We will win this game. No question about it. The problem is people are going to be asking "Who the hell are the Packers?"

The answer (to me) is, a young, inexperienced team that doesn't know how to be consistent because the coaching staff can't find ways to bring it out of them.

I can't see anything but a loss against the Cowboys. Our weak O-Line couldn't defend against a lowly Bucs front rush... what are the 'boys gonna do to us. McCarthy says the o-line issues are fixeable ( ::roll: ) well if he wants Rodgers to be able to walk after the game he better make good on this. Looks like we won't have Kampman so what little we could get on pressuring QBs will be even less now.

You know what else bugs me that people rarely bring up? We don't generate any sacks. As a team, we've sacked the opposing QB 13 times total, while allowing 37. That's almost 1/3rd. No, not acceptable.

We have to generate more pressure to win more games.

Only way the Pack win this very important game is if the running game is going, if not, its a wrap

But Zero we have been pretty much the youngest team since Ted Thompson has gotten his hands on this team. That in itself is the problem i think. I'm tired of the excuse we are the youngest team.

Dulak - I was one of the people cheering loudly when we got Dom Capers. I really hate it when I'm this wrong.

Our D isn't that impressive. It generates no pressure and so far this year, we haven't had the big plays we had last year on our 6-10 team on D.

I don't get it. I honestly don't. Does Capers need more time? Well, you answered that question with your examples. So I guess that excuse isn't valid.

And I agree, it's not our players. I love our D. I love Woody, Kampy, Harris, Collins, Barnett, and Jenkins. Jolly is good. Hawk can use improvement but he's still a decent player. Matthews is impressive in his first 8 games. So you can't really say it's the personnel.

I just want to know WTF is going on out there? Why are we allowing so many points? How did we allow all those points to the Bucs, who we should have slaughtered?
