This comment was left on our IPB site, by a longtime Member of the Club, and brought up something that I had seen, but missed commenting about.... (so busy with just about everything else, I guess) - But, she does bring out a very valid point....
I would offer that Bates "is seeing" exactly what she speaks of...
I would also offer that he's still trying to find that combination of players in the middle which can bring a better option... Nick Collins had a better game, this time around - but he's "still a rookie" and this year, he gets a free pass from me...
As far as Barnett is concerned, I'm not so sure his off-field activities, in downtown Green Bay, haven't been a distraction - and that would be a real shame.... You would think that in his 3rd year, Barnett's abilities would be taking him to the ProBowl - but, so far, that's not gonna happen!
Opinions - point out examples from previous games this year, please......

We have starters on defense that just don't belong on an NFL roster (thanks to Sherman).
I think Sherman is too proud to admit that Carroll doesn't belong on the roster since he drafted him #1.
Barnett is a push over in the middle of the field.
Ever notice how every opposing team's tight end has a "career" game against the Packers.
I do think that Bates is getting the most out of the defense which should say alot about the talent on defense.
