One positive.

When we try to run, we can. Imagine that. And when we did, Rodgers didn't get sacked again, and the pass game started working. Imagine that.

While McCarthy is a good coach, I cannot say he is better than that. He gets in his own way to much. We are not good running outside. So don't do it. When teams are covering deep and pass rushing like we are down by 20 with 5 minutes left, run and pass short. You can't will your plays to work. YOu ahve to adjust to allow them to work.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Positives?

As Vikesrule would say, I'm Mitt Romneying. The Packer D looks like it may really be for real. Game 3 looked like game 2 and the ONLY reason they scored double digit points in game 3 was because the refs blew one bad call after bad call.

I feel real bad for Sam Shields right now. If there's anyone who got shafted, it was him. You do your job perfectly and the WR practically gives you a big hug and you get called for PI? Then, you place yourself in the end zone exactly where you should be an the WR literally pushes you down and nothing gets called? WTF?

Shields is looking like Shields, and not his wimpy doppleganger. The D is coming together. The O, well, work in progress. CM3 and Woody are both having Pro Bowl seasons and the DL is disrupting the run.

I think 🇲🇲 is gonna get this team fired up. I would be surprised if the Saints come within 20 pts of us. Seriously. I actually feel bad for the Saints for they got 2 of my favorite non-Packer players (Brees and Sproles).

We haven't lost any games in our Division, although the 2 in the conference could come back to haunt us. The way the Oline is playing really pisses me off...they're not rookies anymore. I'll sandwich that negative with the D playing good, and rookies again contributing, especially with the added pressure the first half they had to deal with, because of the O's ineptitude.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Positives from Game #3

- Cedric Benson continues to improve every game. His back-cuts are sick.
- Sam Shields is becoming one of the best CBs in the NFL.
- Rookie defensive players are starting to come on: McMillon, Perry(1st sack), Hayward, Worthy. All those guys had some impressive plays.
- Mike McCarthy's adjustments. It's very unfortunate we didn't run more in the first half, and it was an ugly first 30 minutes, but to his credit, he changed things up in the 2nd half, and it was one of the reasons we won the game.
- Charles Woodson at safety is getting better and better. He is ALL OVER the place. It's fun to watch.
- AJ Hawk is a different person this year, and it's a good thing.
- Our defense in general looks to be back to superbowl form after a meh week 1.
- We won the game. The Packers are 2-1. What are people so upset about?

AJ Hawk - played a very inspired game. Great job by him in stuffing the run and shutting down plays. Finley made some great catches and blocks, so did James Jones.

Shields, McMillian, Perry, Worthy, Raji, Pickett and Heyward all did this team proud. Oh, yeah, and so did MD Jennings for his INT to rightfully give us the W.

I'm anxious to see how this defense performs against a good offense for a second time now that they've played a few games, but I'm not sure the Saints qualify. They have the talent but their execution has been terrible.

How hard is it for a defender to see the oline do the slide step that starts the outside zone blocking and know the run is going this way. There are no counters in this scheme only cutbacks.

Bring in Alverez to consult on running the ball.

Loving the defense right now. Rookies are playing GREAT ball and our defensive backfield may be set for quite some time if Hayward and McMillian keep up the good work.

Offensively, Packers have started out cold but I really like the progression of Randall Cobb and the signing of Benson has been a solid choice, so far.

The conduct, demeanor and total class of our head coach in the face of that complete farce, especially in light of the NFL dropping trou and pissing on us only to try and call it rain with that absolutely ridiculous non-statement.
