no kidding. Zombie and I have loved his potential, but he took a huge step backwards v. the Jets.

It was one game--a game in which he was guarded mostly by Derrell Revis. He'll be fine.

He had a game changer hit him right in the hands and he dropped it. He has to make that catch, so I agree, it was a step back after he played well vs. the Vikings.

I said it once, I'll say it again.

Greg Jennings owns Darrelle Revis. Fact.

That is quite good, Beast.

Let me point out that you can't really go downhill when you're playing average football, while you've always been an average player. Like in Lee's case. He should be very thankful for Favre and his TE love.

So should Shiancoe, btw.

The guy I'm really looking for is Brett Swain. Of course he won't be the nr. 1 or 2 receiver, but he might actually get some looks this game. Making his first catch in the regular season with Driver out at NY was a good sign that he'll be more involved in the offense.

I really wouldn't mind a break-out performance from either Jones or Nelson. It'd be great if Jones would come out without the Donte Stallworth hands for once. Not dropping half the balls thrown to him.

And it'd be great if Nelson, like beast already said, rediscovered himself and started playing some good football.

I very much doubt that either is the long time solution opposite of Jennings, but they're great depth. I wouldn't be surprised if we drafted another WR next year. Someone who fits that Driver/Jennings mold a bit more. You know, like Andre Roberts

I hope that the time off makes Driver back to 100%. If the time off doesn't, it doesn't bode well for us. It's been obvious he hasn't been 100% for awhile.
When he is 100%, he's HUGE.

Rock- I laughed when Swain caught that ball against the Jets because he got so happy and tripped up on his own feet. Hopefully the dude can see more playing time and make some more catches.

The two weeks off will be good rest for Old Man Driver (not an insult). Its going to suck going into the Dallas game missing Driver because if he isn't catching the ball he has the attention of some defenders.

Its time to push James Jones or Jordy Nelson into the #2 and see what they can do with it. I have been low on both of these guys this season because they have both dropped too many *catchable* passes (Nelson more drops than Jones?)

I usually get some WTH or WTF reactions when I say this... but Driver and Swain skills sets are very much alike... ( I'm not saying Swain is good as Driver) ... but their raw skills of good to decent speed but not the fastest, they got a quick twitch and very good at most things but great at very little as well. Though you could say Drivers hands are great...

It's just Driver does almost all of the little things VERY well... and Swain is still learning all the little things... and no I'm not saying Swain will become the next Driver... just skills are alike.

True.....i can't remember a season when there were so many drops. How many points did we lose because of this problem? We may have won a few more games had our guys held onto the ball. And the fumble by Jones in the Chicago game, in my opinion, cost us that game.
Hopefully we can overcome that loss to the hated Bears.

Jordy stepped up huge last week against the Jets. 5 catches on 7 targets. I'd expect more against the Cowgirls "we don't give a damn anymore" defense.

He did step up... that being said it's only his 3rd game over 50 yards in his 3 years. And has yet to reach 65 yards in a game. I expected more from him I guess.

While he only has 3 games over 50 yards... two of the three have come in the last three games... so that's a good sign...

4 catches for 64 yards against the Dolphins
4 catches for 25 yards against the Vikings
5 catches for 55 yards against the Jets...

also Jordy has done well against the Cowboy in the past... so maybe he'll have a break out game... but I want to see him do better... he has the talent... just need to believe and he physical run over and burn guys like he did in college.
